807: Chapter 807: Hypocrisy (2) 807: Chapter 807: Hypocrisy (2) Yang Ruxin didnât say a word, she just stepped forward and slapped Yang Ruyu, causing the corner of Ruyuâs mouth to bleed.
Erni, who had been asleep, was also startled awake.
She hurriedly scrambled up and looked at Yang Ruyu with disdain, âWhat have you done now?â That was an unprincipled trust in Yang Ruxin.
âIâŠâ Yang Ruyu covered her face, her expression a mix of grievance and rage.
Yang Ruxin shook her hand off, âYang Ruyu, I was willing to treat you like a sister because you seemed to care about Uncle Xiaowu.
Thatâs why I brought you to the county city this time, but I didnât expect your thoughts to be soâŠâ She exhaled heavily, âYou should go, and letâs not associate with each other anymoreâŠâ
âElder cousin, what have I done?â Yang Ruyuâs tears started to fall drip by drip, âI was doing it for your good when I went to speak with Auntie.
I didnât tell anyone elseâŠâ
âDo you think you would still be alive if you were spouting nonsense to others?â Yang Ruxin frowned, âYang Ruyu, donât think I donât understand your motives.
I warned you last time not to play tricks in front of me, but it seems your memory is not goodâŠâ
Meanwhile, Erni recounted the recent events to Sanni.
âYang Ruyu, you never change, do you?â Sanniâs mouth was even more nimble than Yang Ruxinâs, âAt the beginning, I disagreed with bringing you here.
It was our elder sister who was kind-hearted, thinking that since weâre sisters, she didnât mind helping you in the hope youâd change.
But unexpectedly, you are so malevolent.
If you had gone to the Fang Family and said something careless in front of those ladies, you probably would have ruined our elder sisterâs reputation completely.
How vicious of youâŠâ
Erni couldnât help but shiver, for she had only thought that Yang Ruyuâs disparaging behavior toward their elder sister was wrong without considering the further implications.
But now that Sanni mentioned it, she realized that even a word or two could prevent their elder sister from clearing her name.
Even though their elder sister didnât care about reputation, she couldnât just allow others to scheme against her.
Xun Hui also felt somewhat frightened, realizing for the first time that Yang Ruyu might really have gone too far.
If she mentioned any of this at the County Governorâs Office tomorrow, what would the governor and madam think of Xinxin?
âYou should go back,â Yang Ruxin said with a smile that wasnât quite a smile as she glanced at Yang Ruyu.
âIf you leave now, youâll arrive home by dinner time.
Iâll send a carriage to take youâŠâ
âElder cousin.â Yang Ruyu, realizing her scheming had been exposed, panicked and knelt down quickly, âI truly didnât think that far ahead.
Please forgive me this time.
I wonât dare to do it againâŠâ
âPutting on a pretenseâŠâ Sanni pursed her lips.
Erni neither agreed nor disagreed.
Xun Hui felt somewhat soft-hearted: âStand up and talkâŠâ The ground is so cold.
Yang Ruxin looked at Yang Ruyu indifferently, remaining silent until she saw that the latterâs face had paled, then finally sighed, âAlright then, I can give you another chance.
But if I ever discover youâre up to your little tricks again, Iâll simply silence you with poisonâŠâ She said, then turned and walked away.
âElder sister, Iâm going to share a bed with you tonight.
I donât want to be in the same room with herâŠâ Sanni quickly followed her out, âWhat if she holds a grudge and kills me in my sleep?â
The corners of Yang Ruxinâs mouth twitched.
This girlâs imagination was truly too wild, but she didnât refuse either, âAlright, but if you dare to kick off the covers, Iâll throw you out the windowâŠâ
Once everyone had left, Yang Ruyuâs face instantly filled with intense hatred.
Just wait, she vowed to rise above them all, to tread Yang Dani underfoot.
