Qin Mei wasn't afraid of the neighbors watching the spectacle. 'Have there ever been a shortage of scandals involving the Jie Family?'
Lin Yaru fell silent, hiding in Li Axiu's arms and crying as if she had been grievously wronged.
"If it wasn't him, was it Jing Er?" Li Axiu shrieked, throwing all caution to the wind.
"Go ask that wonderful son-in-law of yours! As long as he doesn't twist the facts, you'll have no grounds to be yelling at me," Qin Mei shouted back.
"Stop shouting. You'll hurt your throat." Jie Jingchen gave her leg a gentle squeeze. 'Her voice will go hoarse if she keeps yelling like that.'
Li Axiu looked at Jie Jingwei and shot him a meaningful glance. The truth didn't matter. As long as he said what she wanted, even if it meant lying through his teeth, she wouldn't let Jie Jingchen and his wife off the hook today.
