Chapter 1266 - 1272: The Truth Revealed (1)
Wang Cai snapped back to reality and with his neck bristling, he shouted, "Miss Du, with such a red-mouthed and white-toothed lie, you should at least speak with a conscience. Just yesterday, it was you who sent Old Lady Zhang to mediate this matter with me. The three hundred taels of silver are still on our brothers’ bodies. You can’t deny it!"
Upon hearing this, Du Wanqing’s tears began to flow as she choked out, "Wang Cai, even though you were demoted to the manor, it was all your own doing. Why do you insist on holding such a grudge against me? I was in Duke Li Guo’s Mansion recovering from injuries and had no money to spend, let alone find three hundred taels of silver to bribe you. Even if you wanted to frame me, you should come up with a more plausible excuse!"
Indeed, Du Wanqing had no silver on her at that moment. The three hundred taels of silver had been acquired through Old Lady Zhang, who took a secret letter from her to her mother, Lady Wang. This money was saved from the household allowance previously given by Mo Zili, and it was all the savings that mother and daughter had.
Because she had just told Mo Zili she had no money, her current words were very convincing.
However, her arguments and tears did not sway Mo Zili. At this moment, he was half-slumped in his seat, his expression unclear. The only visible sign was the bulging veins on his forehead and the crackling sound from his fists clenched on his knees.
No one knew how furious he was. He was so angry he felt like jumping up and killing someone!
These two dogs—a b*tch and her accomplice—had colluded, been mutually disgraceful. If their scheme had succeeded, he would now be faced with the cold corpse of Xiang Yun, after being gang-raped and murdered.
Just the thought of this possibility made his heart ache as if it had been stabbed with a knife, and his eyes turned red, wishing he could immediately kill them both!
