Chapter 181 Difficult Days
The words burst from Lady Zhao’s mouth, carrying an undeniable decisiveness.
Jiang Xunzhong’s figure faltered, nearly stumbling and falling, as he angrily pointed towards Lady Zhao, reprimanding, "She’s simply a madwoman!"
The dissatisfaction and anger in his tone was clear and obvious.
At this moment, Xie Xinghua inside the house heard the commotion and quietly opened the door, her gaze first tenderly meeting Su Yu’s as she spoke softly and helplessly, "Sister-in-law, it seems I can only turn to you to look for Da Ya."
Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded slightly, her eyes flashing with understanding, well aware of the difficulties Xie Xinghua faced under Lady Zhao’s watchful eye.
Xie Xinghua straightened her back, took steps closer to Lady Zhao, her eyes revealing unprecedented determination and sharpness, "As long as Da Ya doesn’t return home, the account between you and me cannot be settled."
Facing Xie Xinghua’s warning, Lady Zhao scoffed dismissively, a face full of disdain, "What can you do to me?"
The words were filled with scorn and disregard for this usually meek daughter-in-law.
However, as Xie Xinghua’s hand subtly lifted, Lady Zhao instinctively flinched backward, her voice shrilly threatening, "If you dare touch a single hair on me, I will immediately report you for filial impiety, tarnishing your reputation!"
Xie Xinghua’s lips curled into a cold smirk, her fingertips gently brushing past her ear, before her expression suddenly changed to one of innocence, "Mother-in-law, what bizarre things you say, how could I possibly lay a hand on you?"
Changing her tone, Xie Xinghua added sarcastically, "Speaking of reporting, I must remind you, remember Fang Qin also once threatened to report? What came of it? The County Magistrate Master knew right from wrong, do you dare bring such an accusation against me? Do you dare confront me in court?"
