Chapter 147 Unfilial
She immediately began to feign aggrievement, tears falling like pearls from a broken string.
"My husband has passed away, yet you still defame him here. How cruel your heart is!"
Now that the person is no longer present, the truth seems no longer important.
Fang Qin silently calculated within her heart, how could Su Yu’s one-sided story possibly harm her?
A chill smile curled Su Yu’s lips, staring directly at Fang Qin’s pretense of compassion, her voice laced with scorn, "You say I am venomous? How am I venomous? Could it be that I, taking advantage of the absence of family elders, drove Jiang Youfu out of the house?"
Upon these words, Fang Qin’s face immediately turned extremely ugly, while Lady Zhao, as if she had heard some astonishing secret, urgently demanded, "What do you mean by that?"
Su Yu shrugged indifferently, recounting the events of that day, "I remember clearly, that evening, I went to deliver steamed buns to Aunt Wang, we talked for a long time, therefore, I returned late. Just as I stepped into the courtyard, I heard Jiang Youfu crying at the door, saying he was scared and begging me to let him into the house to hide for a bit."
Su Yu precisely captured the panicked glance Fang Qin tried to avoid, her tone tinged with a biting sarcasm, "I wonder what upset Ziling to such a degree that he retaliated like this. It was so dark that night; if someone had not pushed him out of the door, how would he have accidentally fallen into the lotus pond?"
With just a few words, Su Yu easily shifted all accusations towards Fang Qin, and though her allegations were exaggerated, they were not entirely fabricated.
"You are slandering me!"
Fang Qin attempted a rebuttal amid her panic, but her increasing unease only made her defense seem pale and unconvincing.
