Chapter 659 - 658: Continental Girl, You’re Dead for Sure!
As soon as the second wife finished interrogating, the third wife quickly followed suit and approached Shen Mingzhu with a menacing tone, warning, "Girl from the mainland, you’d better watch your mouth. Each one of us standing before you is not someone you can afford to provoke. Be careful, or you won’t even know how you die."
Infuriated, the fifth wife spoke out in anger, "Fourth wife, don’t think I can’t see through your little trick, deliberately arranging someone to splash water on me, just to have an excuse to search me. This is simply bullying too much!"
"And you!" the fifth wife raged as she advanced on Shen Mingzhu, her finger nearly poking Shen Mingzhu’s nose, "Dare to slander me as a thief, and not even the king of heaven can save you! I will definitely pursue this matter to the end. You just wait to rot in jail!"
Facing the aggressive onslaught from the three women, La Shiran was at her wit’s end, but she still immediately moved to shield Shen Mingzhu behind her.
"Sisters Qun and Shaohui, Mrs. Cui, please, don’t get agitated. She did not explicitly name anyone as a thief. What she said was..."
Standing with the trio were also the La Family mother and daughter. La Shiran had thought to use her own mother as a shield, albeit not the most honorable move; however, it was the only solution she could think of at that moment.
To her surprise, Shen Mingzhu did not understand her well-intentioned plan and instead poured oil on the fire, "Slandering others maliciously indeed requires a price to be paid, but I have not slandered."
La Shiran’s forehead throbbed; she truly wished she could just cover Shen Mingzhu’s mouth with her hand.
Not to mention the fifth wife, who was fuming, even the arrogantly self-assured second wife, who had never deigned to give Shen Mingzhu a proper look before, couldn’t refrain from scoffing:
"You’re quite bold. But I can understand, you’re an outsider, you might not be fully aware of what kind of place this is, however, you must have heard this saying, ’Be careful or you might earn money that you won’t live to spend.’"
