Capítulo 146: Settling the Score (4)

"Sister-in-law, it's not like that." Ren Wanyun explained with a smile, "I've already asked the guards to put out the fire just now. I treat Jiaojiao as my own daughter. How can I watch her fall into danger? Sister-in-law, you know very well how I've treated Jiaojiao all these years. Otherwise, why would Jiaojiao be so close to us?" She was also anxious. Luo Xueyan had never been angry with anyone before. She used to be easy to coax, but when she was really angry, her aura was very shocking.

"Your own daughter?" Luo Xueyan sneered. "Our Jiaojiao doesn't have a vicious mother like you." She faced Ren Wanyun and forced her to retreat step by step, but her tone was cold. "I also want to ask you, Sister-in-law, since it's Old Madam's birthday, why is Jiaojiao alone in the ancestral hall?"

"Fifth Sister wants to go to the ancestral hall to offer incense to the ancestors…" Under Luo Xueyan's intense gaze, Ren Wanyun panicked and found a clumsy excuse.
