Chapter 820: The Death of Xue Rou'er (1)
Translator: Zen_ Editor: Rock
Xue Rou'er was frightened by the power in Jun Fengling's slam. Her misty eyes were full of confusion and incomprehension as she looked at Jun Fengling.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were natural enemies because they loved the same man. In the past, her mother and grandmother fought over the same man every night, to the point of being kicked out by her father's clan in the end.
If her father's clan did not know she had a chance to marry into the Ye Family, they would not agree to re-accept her into the genealogical record. So, it was her first time seeing a mother-in-law as protective of her daughter-in-law as Jun Fengling! The thing that crushed her heart was that the one who was being protected was not her!
Xue Rou'er subconsciously bit her lips, and her long eyelashes hid the malice in her eyes. It took a while for her to calm her emotions and look up pitifully while saying in a quiet voice, "Apologies, I've been a hassle. Someone with my family background is hard for other people to accept to begin with! Don't worry, I won't bother the Ye Family from now on and won't appear in front of Qiqi either."
After saying that, Xue Rou'er shot one final glance at Ye Qi, her eyes full of conflict and reluctance, before turning around and walking out of the main hall.
"Rou'er!" Ye Qi hastily shouted, her eyes brimming with anxiety. But she knew that Foster Mother did not like Xue Rou'er, so she did not dare to plead for her.
"Wait."
Suddenly, a wicked voice was heard, making Xue Rou'er stop moving.
"Feng'er?" Jun Fengling glanced at Yun Luofeng with confusion, "Do you have something else to say?"
"Mother, I'm born protective. Since I consider Huohuo as one of my own, I absolutely won't permit anyone to slander her." Yun Luofeng narrowed her eyes, an evil light flashing pass. "So since she stepped into the Ye residence, she shouldn't think about leaving!"
Xue Rou'er body froze before turning around to face Yun Luofeng, her face pale. "You... what do you mean? I was inside a restaurant back then. Qiqi can testify for me that it was only because someone came to inform me that I learned about what happened at my house. Moreover, it was also other people who saw someone who looked like Huohuo appear near my house. I believed her from the start."
Ye Qi nodded and added in agreement, "Rou'er spoke the truth. I can verify that she didn't know about this beforehand."
"Qiqi!" Jun Fengling shouted at Ye Qi in warning as her brows furrowed, then she looked at Yun Luofeng. "Feng'er, you did the right thing! Huohuo can't be wrongly accused without a good cause! So I support your endeavor."
Yun Luofeng's lips turned up with an evil smile. "Since it's like that, I'll allow Xue Rou'er to stay at the Ye residence as she wishes. Before that, I will send someone to investigate the truth of the matter."
In order words, Xue Rou'er was under house arrest inside the Ye residence, and she would only be released after Yun Luofeng discovers the true arsonist. However, only Xue Rou'er knew the truth of the matter!
She spoke with downcast eyes, "I didn't wrongly accuse Huohuo. I only came to ask about it because of the witnesses' description. Perhaps that person merely has a similar appearance to Huohuo! However, since you all suspect me, I will stay! I believe Madam Ye will prove my innocence and won't allow certain people to deliberately frame me."
Jun Fengling's expression darkened. This girl was so shameless even now! Her words actually implied that Yun Luofeng was framing her.
