Chapter 278: The Maiden Has an Idea
"Bold!" Qi Yu rebuked sharply, her eyes glaring displeasedly at Liu Murou, "Madam Liu and I have no quarrel, so why would you seek to harm me? As a member of the Liu Family, yet you stir up trouble, wishing to destroy the relationship between me and Madam Liu, what is your intention!"
Liu Murou was startled by her reaction, she hadn’t expected her to stand on the side of the Liu family mother and daughter, defending them.
According to the information she had gathered previously, Qi Yu greatly despised Liu Sisi, and certainly had no fondness for Madam Liu either.
Song Yuerou, however, saw clearly that her cousin-in-law was merely acting.
Liu Murou was deeply scheming, if Qi Yu had truly shown complete trust in her from the beginning, letting her lead by the nose, it would have seemed false.
Thinking of this, she also spoke up to support her cousin-in-law, "What my cousin-in-law says makes sense, could Miss Liu have listened to the malicious slander of others?"
Liu Murou, seeing that they did not believe her, couldn’t help feeling a bit agitated.
After all, she was just an unmarried young girl, possessing scheming and tactics, but only able to use them against naives misses like Liu Sisi.
Seeing her words rejected, she immediately looked a bit downcast, and said in a somewhat aggrieved tone, "How would I dare to deceive the Princess? Just now at the banquet, Madam Liu and Liu Sisi inadvertently let slip a few words, which I happened to overhear, and I worried that the Princess might fall into a trap, that’s why I thought to inform you."
Qi Yu was silent for a moment before she spoke faintly, "Then tell me, how does Madam Liu plan to harm me?"
