Chapter 796 - 0796: A Mouthful of Dog Hair 4_1
Feng Qingxue smiled faintly, "I regret to inform you, comrade Cao Hongzhu, that both comrade Lu Jiang and I have neither embezzled, accepted bribes, let alone involved in corruption. The phrase ’extravagance and waste’ has no relevance to our family. Accusing others requires adequate evidence to prove your allegation is true, not hearsay. Otherwise, you must bear the consequences of making false accusations."
As she spoke, her words were fierce and austere, her eyebrows were full of dignity, overwhelming enough to make many people present dare not breathe.
Cui Shaoyuan nodded in agreement, "Yes, we can substantiate comrade Feng Qingxue’s statement. Of course, we need to proceed with further investigations, to ensure the innocent are absolved, and the guilty severely punished."
Cao Hongzhu shrugged, "Say what you want, anyway, I can guarantee that those I’ve reported deserve severe punishment!"
"Hongzhu!" Upon hearing the news, Li Shuitian, the Director of the Political Department, rushed over immediately, grabbed his wildly behaving wife and dragged her away from Chen Ju. Chen Ju quickly clambered up and ran to Qi Gang’s side.
Qi Gang sighed deeply as he watched his wife clutch his sleeve. He didn’t shake her off but was apparently at a loss for a solution.
Bowing over, Li Shuitian kept apologizing to Feng Qingxue, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Ever since our child and her grandparents died, Hongzhu has been deeply affected and her behaviour has been abnormal. Plus, after the directives against embezzlement, theft, and extravagance were issued a couple of years ago, she has been fixated on whether others are corrupt or wasteful."
"That doesn’t give her the right to falsely accuse people, does it?" Feng Qingxue responded unhappily.
"I know, sister-in-law, I’m truly sorry." Li Shuitian gave a bitter smile, "I have told her that everything she does must be based on solid evidence, but sometimes she just can’t control herself and doesn’t heed my advice. As her husband, I’m willing to take full responsibility for what she’s done and bear the consequences of falsely accusing."
