Chapter 1362 - 1364: Bringing About One’s Own Downfall and Blaming Others_1
Yang Chuxia’s gaze accidentally collided with hers, and she let out a sarcastic laugh, making her wish she could burst out immediately.
"Speak up. What does your whole big family want in my house this time?"
"No manners at all! The elder pays a visit, and you won’t even let us through the door, blocking us at the entrance. What is the meaning of this?" Old Lady Cao was the first to speak.
"Old hag!" Yang Chuxia fondled the ring on her finger, and drawled, "Stop harping on about elders; it gets boring hearing it over and over. Just look at how rude you are, bringing along so many people. Someone might think you’re about to attack the Ye Family’s door. Do you even qualify to be an elder of the Ye Family? What kind of joke is that?"
"Humph, no need to talk to her too much," Old Lady Cao retorted with a huff, but Old Master Cao was somewhat rational, "Ye Zi’an, I must ask you, Lingling is after all your cousin, how could you have the heart to exile her?"
"This old master?" Yang Chuxia didn’t want to see him interrogate Brother An at all, what right does he have?
"Your granddaughter married into the Zhou Family, and when someone from the Zhou Family was corrupt and perverted justice, your granddaughter got involved. What does that have to do with Brother An? Is it us who made the Zhou Family corrupt, or us who made her marry into the Zhou Family? Stop dangling ’cousin’ this and that in front of our faces every day. I’m not buying what you’re selling. You’ve cut ties with us for so many years, and you have the nerve to mention it? I’m embarrassed to even listen."
"Nonsense!" Cao Lingling’s mother finally couldn’t hold back and jumped out, "Why did my daughter marry into the Zhou Family? It was all your doing! My son came back and told me everything. It was supposed to be her marrying Ye Zi’an, she was already involved with him—it was because of your jealousy that you framed my daughter. My poor girl, if it wasn’t for your plot against her, why would she be implicated and exiled? Till now, we don’t know if she’s alive or dead, oh... my poor daughter..."
Indeed, once people start making unreasonable fusses, they can claim that even the dead are alive, capable of turning black into white.
"Run out of things to say, haven’t you?" Cao Lingling’s mother paused, and then said, "It’s all your fault, you caused all her misfortune, you owe my daughter her life!"
"Right, you owe me my granddaughter back!"
"Today you must give an explanation to our Cao Family, you wicked woman!" This was said by Cao Lingling’s father.
"Pah, that cheap life of your daughter, does it even deserve compensation from our lady? What crap your daughter is! And you have the face to ask for that?" Sister-in-law Li said scornfully after listening.
Yang Chuxia didn’t scold her, merely raised her hand, indicating she would handle this.
"Madam, I’ve held my tongue out of respect for you, considering you should be ashamed of raising such a daughter. But since you have no shame, I have no choice but to speak the truth."
Looking around at everyone, Yang Chuxia continued, "I’d like to ask the Cao Family, what sort of daughter have you raised? Clueless, running all the way to Mianyang I won’t even mention, but arriving at our county office, instead of behaving, she ran out of the residence in the middle of the night, and encountered Principal Clerk Zhou on the road."
"Principal Clerk Zhou is a man who dearly loves beauty. Meeting your daughter on the road, he took her back home. What do you think happened between a man and woman alone? What happened after is history. Even though Zhou didn’t reject her, she stubbornly came to accuse Brother An, and when her lies were exposed, she had no choice but marry Principal Clerk Zhou."
"Old Master Cao, did I make your granddaughter leave the residence in the dead of night? She brings disaster upon herself and still blames others. Does your Cao Family all have this problem?"
