Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Distorting Right And Wrong, Black And White
Robbery? What drama is this now? What robbery?
Old Lady Zhou was somewhat dumbfounded, looking towards Wufu with his composed demeanor, she had the intuition that there was something she didnât know.
Madam Lu, who had secretly hidden the hairpin and had just come out, overheard the conversation, and her heart skipped a beat.
This damned Wufu, after recovering from his illness, had become even more outrageous!
"Go then, go report it to the officials! Letâs go together!" Wufu, with his arms folded across his chest, glared at Zhou Xiuer, "Someone is shameless here, am I afraid she will cry about it?"
Zhou Xiuerâs face turned bright red.
"What did you say? What robbery!" Old Lady Zhou pushed Zhou Xiuer aside, staring fiercely at Wufu.
Seeing Madam Lu standing at the door and not daring to come over, Wufu snorted disdainfully and pointed towards her, "Ask your virtuous daughter-in-law."
Old Lady Zhou turned her head and saw Madam Luâs evasive gaze, her face darkened, "What did you do?"
"Mother, what could I possibly have done? Sheâs the one going crazyâah, the door is even broken!" Madam Lu, having just noticed the door plank on the ground, went pale. Was the door broken by Wufuâs kick?
"Stop beating around the bush, out with it!" Old Lady Zhou, seeing her dodging the question, felt even more certain that there was a problem, glaring at her hatefully.
What time was it to be causing trouble? In just a couple of days, a new daughter-in-law would be joining the family. Was Madam Lu intent on stirring up trouble for her and Xueli?
A crafty piece of goods, she knew Madam Lu was up to no good.
Furious, Old Lady Zhou couldnât help but stretch out her hand and forcefully pinch the flesh on Madam Luâs arm.
She used a lot of strength, and the summer clothes were thin; the pinch made Madam Lu cry out in pain, her tears coming out as she shrieked, "Mother, I didnât do anything. Itâs her whoâs losing her mind!"
Joking? Such a fine-quality Plum Girl Hairpin, once in her pocket, would she ever let it out again?
No way!
Old Lady Zhou, with a dark expression, thought this one deserved to die too.
At that moment, determined to strike again, Madam Lu smartened up, dodging with agility surpassing that of a monkey.
Wufu casually dug at his ear and coldly commanded, "Enough! I have no time to watch you fight like cats. Madam Lu, while I am still speaking to you nicely, return the item obediently. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Zhou Xiuer, disliking Wufuâs arrogance, screeched in protest, "That hairpin must have been given to my aunt by grandfather in secret. By rights, it should belong to the Zhou family. Itâs only right we take it back!"
Whatâs called turning black into white, here it was now. This young girlâs ability to twist the truth was truly first-class!
Wufu looked at her coldly.
Zhou Xiuer, upon meeting her dark gaze, shuddered with chills despite the summer heat, and for a moment, she dared not make a sound.
Indeed, she was unable to speak, because as soon as the words slipped out, Madam Lu had pounced over and covered her mouth.
What a fool, wasnât this telling their mother-in-law that they had indeed stolen from the Zhou family? Stupid to death!
And her father, why hasnât he come home yet? Wufu clearly came prepared; if he doesnât return soon, no one will be able to suppress her!
Old Lady Zhou, after hearing Zhou Xiuerâs words, was still a bit confused, "Hairpin, what hairpin?"
"It seems the old lady is not aware. I personally carved a hairpin as a gift for my mother, called the Plum Girl Hairpin. Today, when she came to bring a gift, your daughters-in-law and granddaughter took it from her, claiming it was just borrowed! Old Lady Zhou, whether itâs borrowing or robbery, you know it in your heart, right?" Wufu explained kindly, suggesting she should understand the situation clearly.
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Zhouâs face turned green, and she pointed at Madam Lu, furiously asking, "Is what sheâs saying true?"
Fine, they want to play dirty tricks behind her back, do they think sheâs dead?
