Capítulo 8: Chapter 8: Fight Back

Qiao Xiaomai "..."

Because Jiang Zhuangzhuang fancied the original owner of this body, and because her appearance didn't quite resemble that of a decent housewife, she had a nickname that was given to her by those who secretly wished to marry Jiang Zhuangzhuang: Qiao Fox. It was a backhanded compliment to the original owner's looks, after all, Qiao Fox sounded better than Qiao Ugly Freak.

But regarding the current situation...

As Qiao Xiaomai observed the contemptuous look in Zhu Cuiying's eyes, along with the moles on her face, she blinked and then spoke up, "Whatever's on one's mind, that's what they see with their eyes. Auntie, it seems all you think about is seducing men, huh?"

"You!" Zhu Cuiying's face changed color, and she blurted out in anger, "I bet Dami purposely fell into the river today to make Tong Sanlang save her, just to give you, this vixen, an excuse to cozy up to him!"

"No wonder you never wanted to marry old Jiang's idiot son; you had your eyes set on Tong Family's Sanlang all along, quite the scheme!"

Qiao Xiaomai "..."

Delusions are a sickness that must be cured!

Her facial expression swiftly turned gloomy as she said, "Auntie, you claim Dami fell into the water on purpose. Bring forth your evidence then, otherwise, I will have to take this matter to the Village Chief."

The trouble caused by Zhuang Lühe was bringing too much negative impact on her and Qiao Dami. If Zhu Cuiying could fabricate so much just in front of her, there was no telling what she would say behind their backs.

This issue had to be clarified today!

Zhu Cuiying let out a cold snort, "Anyone with clear eyes can see the plot you and your brother are hatching. Do you think everyone else is blind?!"

Just as Qiao Xiaomai was about to retort, a deep voice came from behind the iron gate, its tone ice cold, "Aunt Zhu, it seems you know more than I do, the person involved. Did you witness them discussing this matter?"

Along with these words, Tong Sanlang's tall figure appeared at the doorway, his handsome face as somber as water.

Seeing Tong Sanlang, Qiao Xiaomai swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Zhu Cuiying, startled, turned around and saw Tong Sanlang's grim expression. She quickly wiped the disdain from her face and forced a smile, "Sanlang, why are you out here? I was just joking with this girl."

Joking?

Hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes inwardly and asked, "Auntie, when my father and cousins joke around, do they start by accusing my cousin of being cunning and my cousin of hooking up with men?"

"What are you talking about, you girl!" Zhu Cuiying's face changed again.

"I'm just following your lead in joking," Qiao Xiaomai said innocently, staring back at her.

Being rebuked by Qiao Xiaomai in front of Tong Sanlang, Zhu Cuiying became somewhat infuriated and ashamed, "I just carelessly made a couple of remarks and you won't let it go. I am still your elder, is this how you should talk to an elder?"

Before she could finish speaking, Tong Sanlang interjected, "Aunt Zhu, Xiaomai was also just commenting on the facts. You're the one who won't let it go, yet you still put on airs as an elder to lecture her. She is, after all, your niece. Is this how you joke with your niece?"

Zhu Cuiying "..."

She had never expected Tong Sanlang to throw her own words back at her like that.

"Sanlang, I..."

"Aunt Zhu, there's no need for further explanations. If you can't change your gossipy habits, then don't bother visiting my Tong Family's home again. I, Tong Sanlang, cannot tolerate your slanders," he said gravely, leaving Zhu Cuiying utterly shocked.

She often visited the Tong Family, and it was always for important matters!
