Chapter 807: Hypocrisy (2)
Yang Ruxin didn’t say a word, she just stepped forward and slapped Yang Ruyu, causing the corner of Ruyu’s mouth to bleed.
Erni, who had been asleep, was also startled awake. She hurriedly scrambled up and looked at Yang Ruyu with disdain, "What have you done now?" That was an unprincipled trust in Yang Ruxin.
"I..." Yang Ruyu covered her face, her expression a mix of grievance and rage.
Yang Ruxin shook her hand off, "Yang Ruyu, I was willing to treat you like a sister because you seemed to care about Uncle Xiaowu. That’s why I brought you to the county city this time, but I didn’t expect your thoughts to be so..." She exhaled heavily, "You should go, and let’s not associate with each other anymore..."
"Elder cousin, what have I done?" Yang Ruyu’s tears started to fall drip by drip, "I was doing it for your good when I went to speak with Auntie. I didn’t tell anyone else..."
"Do you think you would still be alive if you were spouting nonsense to others?" Yang Ruxin frowned, "Yang Ruyu, don’t think I don’t understand your motives. I warned you last time not to play tricks in front of me, but it seems your memory is not good..."
Meanwhile, Erni recounted the recent events to Sanni.
"Yang Ruyu, you never change, do you?" Sanni’s mouth was even more nimble than Yang Ruxin’s, "At the beginning, I disagreed with bringing you here. It was our elder sister who was kind-hearted, thinking that since we’re sisters, she didn’t mind helping you in the hope you’d change. But unexpectedly, you are so malevolent. If you had gone to the Fang Family and said something careless in front of those ladies, you probably would have ruined our elder sister’s reputation completely. How vicious of you..."
Erni couldn’t help but shiver, for she had only thought that Yang Ruyu’s disparaging behavior toward their elder sister was wrong without considering the further implications. But now that Sanni mentioned it, she realized that even a word or two could prevent their elder sister from clearing her name.
