As Zhou Ruyu noticed that Shi Qingxue stared at her, she felt nervous for no reason, thinking that there was something wrong.
But she could hardly restrain her anger and was unable to calm down to think so much. Instead, she glared at Shi Qingxue ruthlessly, seeming to ask, “I’ll see what you can do to me.”
Shi Qingxue shrugged and looked away, bowing to Mo Shujun. Then she expressed calmly, “Grandma, Aunt Qiuyan considers the Shi family’s fame and as soon as she found that there was something that might ruin our family’s reputation, she told you before she had time to find the truth…”
“Shouldn’t I do that?” Zhang Qiuyan realized that Shi Qingxue was critical of her as she slandered Dong Hui before she knew the truth, so she exploded the grievance from Shi Junhe and shouted to Shi Qingxue angrily.
She goggled at Shi Qingxue fiercely and asked intentionally, “Mother is the real mistress in the Shi family. Shouldn’t I report to her when something happened in our mansion?”
Although there were many dirty tricks in this matter, it was impossible if Shi Qingxue wanted to denounce her with this reason.
Zhang Qiuyan retorted quickly and felt complacent at last.
Unexpectedly, Shi Qingxue didn’t deny her words but nodded in agreement. “Aunt, you did the right thing.”
Gee?
Shi Qingxue cooperated with her, which made all people feel unaccustomed. They all looked at her in doubt.
She showed an innocent and obedient smile and added slowly, “So, I want to ‘learn’ from you, Aunt.”
She purposely stressed the word “learn.”
While speaking, she meaningfully glanced at Zhou Ruyu and made her feel restless.
Zhou Ruyu suddenly had a bad feeling, but before she did something…
She saw Shi Qingxue unfold the letter given by Xia Mang again and show it. “Ahem…”
Qingxue intentionally cleared her throat and when all people looked at her, she smiled and explained, “I just got an interesting letter. Of course I should share it with you at once, Grandma.”
Zhou Ruyu frowned and stared at the letter in Shi Qingxue’s hand. When she looked at it, she felt more terrified.
She couldn’t help but blurt out, “Wait a moment.”
Shi Qingxue certainly ignored her and read every word on the letter clearly. “My dear cousin Shi, when you see this letter, you seem to see me. I haven’t seen you for a long time and miss you very much. I still remember that day when we took a boat in Moon Lake. We love each other deeply…”
“Shut up!” Zhou Ruyu shouted with fear and rushed to Shi Qingxue crazily, trying to grab the letter from her hand.
Shi Qingxue was prepared and leaned to one side, avoiding Zhou Ruyu’s attack.
Xia Mang was swift-handed and stood between them. She seemed to stop them, but in fact, she grabbed Zhou Ruyu’s wrist forcefully and prevented her from approaching Shi Qingxue, advising in a warm voice, “Third Madam, please don’t be angry. If you are hurt, it would be bad news.”
Zhou Ruyu was pinched and felt severe pain in her wrist, so she couldn’t exert strength.
However, at this time, Shi Qingxue pretended to be ignorant and looked at Zhou Ruyu, asking in a sweet voice, “Aunt, I just want to read a letter that I picked up by chance for Grandma. Why are you so emotional?”
It seemed that she didn’t know it was a love letter to Shi Zhi written by Zhou Ruyu.
Qingxue paused for a while and then seemed to think of something. She lowered her head, murmuring, “Gee, speaking of which, why is this handwriting in the letter similar to Aunt Ruyu’s. I remember that the wife of Marquis of Wuyang was from the Shi family. This…”
She appeared to talk to herself, but her voice was not loud but was enough to make all people hear clearly.
In the end, she suddenly raised her head and glared at Zhou Ruyu in horror, shouting, “Aunt, is this a love letter to Lord Shi written by you?”
Zhou Ruyu just felt the blood all over her body surged to her head, and her face was ghastly pale. She retorted in a sharp voice, “Bullshit. I don’t have an affair with my cousin Shi. Don’t talk nonsense to wrong me. Otherwise, be careful, and I will tear off your mouth!”
Gee, when Zhou Ruyu wronged Dong Hui and said that she had an affair with somebody, she just intentionally beat around the bush like Shi Qingxue did but every word was hurtful and forced Dong Hui almost to faint.
Now it was the circulation of causes and effects, and she got the retribution.
Unfortunately, seeing Zhou Ruyu’s rattled and ugly face, Shi Qingxue lost interest in teasing her.
She concealed the ignorant expression on her face and returned to be distant.
Qingxue showed an indifferent smile to Zhou Ruyu and questioned coldly, “Just now, Aunt Qiuyan only took out a handkerchief, and you affirmed that my mother has an affair. Now what can the letter in black and white prove?”
She stopped for a while and avoided Zhou Ruyu, giving the letter to Mo Shujun. Then she stated impassively, “I don’t dare to act arbitrarily. Please handle this matter, Grandma.”
Since Shi Qingxue started to read the letter, Mo Shujun realized that the case today wouldn’t end easily, but she didn’t expect this girl to find the solid evidence to prove that Zhou Ruyu had an affair with somebody. Since Shi Qingxue dared to show this letter in public, she must have confirmed that this letter was written by Zhou Ruyu, whose attitude could also prove everything.
A letter was more convincing than the handkerchief with the word “Hui” in it Zhang Qiuyan had taken out. Before Mo Shujun checked the letter, she could be sure that Zhou Ruyu had an affair.
But hesitation was rarely shown on Mo Shujun’s tense face, and she didn’t receive the letter from Shi Qingxue at once.
If she received it, she would surely get the result.
Mo Shujun didn’t worry if Zhou Ruyu would be hurt. An incapable daughter-in-law had an affair, and it was fine if her reputation was ruined, but if Shi Juncai was implicated, it would…
“Grandma?” Shi Qingxue called her softly and moved the letter in her hand forward.
She forced Mo Shujun to reach out her hand and receive the letter.
Mo Shujun unfolded it and found it really was Zhou Ruyu’s handwriting.
She didn’t have the chance to feel lucky anymore and raised her head all of a sudden. She glared at Zhou Ruyu. “Zhou, see what you have done! You just humiliate our family.”
Zhou Ruyu shrank her neck as she was glared at, but she was reluctant to admit her guilt. She just conducted desperate struggles. “Mother, please trust me. I really didn’t do that.”
She suddenly goggled at Shi Qingxue and accused her quickly. “It must be her! She fabricated this letter on purpose and just wanted to frame me. Mother, please observe carefully and prove my innocence.”
“So this letter wasn’t written by you?” Mo Shujun’s eyes rolled, and something bright flashed in her old and sharp eyes.
Zhou Ruyu understood instantly and shouted in a louder voice, “Right. It was not written by me. If you don’t believe me, I can point out something wrong, Mother.”
After hearing that, Mo Shujun really stretched out her hand and gave the letter to Zhou Ruyu, asking casually, “How would you prove that this letter was not written by you?”
Zhou Ruyu’s eyes lit up, and before Shi Qingxue stopped her, she grabbed that letter.
She tore that thin letter into pieces openly in an instant and then threw them to Shi Qingxue.
“You!” Shi Qingxue was open-mouthed and laughed because she was too furious.
All people present were stunned.
They never expected that Zhou Ruyu could ruin the evidence in public.
After doing that, Zhou Ruyu didn’t feel guilty at all but smiled at Shi Qingxue with provocation. “Huh! Didn’t you talk about the evidence? Where is the evidence now?”
Xia Mang yelled in a rage, “Didn’t you ruin the evidence just now? How do you have the face to ask where the evidence is?”
Zhou Ruyu refused to admit her fault in a flagrant way. Did she think that everybody was blind and foolish?
She even swelled out her chest and stated shamelessly, “I don’t care. Anyway, the evidence has gone now. Only you have seen the letter, and there is no witness, so you just framed me.”
Shi Qingxue wanted to say that she was convinced as Zhou Ruyu could act shamelessly in such an aggressive way.
She smiled and turned her clear eyes to Mo Shujun again, stating expressionlessly but seriously, “Grandma has also seen the letter, and she is the witness.”
While speaking, Shi Qingxue stared at Mo Shujun all the time, and her eyes were bright and clean, with admiration and love, and expectancy that was not obvious but existed.
She thought secretly, “Grandma, this is the last time. Hope that you won’t let me down anymore.”
Mo Shujun looked solemn and nobody could see her emotion. When Shi Qingxue looked at her, she even turned away slightly and avoided her granddaughter’s eyes.
Then she stated impassively but in a dignified manner, “The words in the letter were like what Qingxue said indeed, but I don’t know Zhou’s handwriting, so I can’t tell if this letter was written by her.”
As soon as she finished her words, some people around took deep breaths.
Mo Shujun said that and denied the fact that Zhou Ruyu had an affair, and she indicated that Shi Qingxue might have done it evilly in order to frame Zhou Ruyu.
Nobody was so capable of lying as Mo Shujun.
Zhou Ruyu escaped from the crisis and showed a big smile on her face immediately. She even smiled at Shi Qingxue with provocation, seeming to say, “Huh, so what even if you found the evidence against me? You still can’t do anything to me at last.”
Shi Qingxue didn’t look at Zhou Ruyu but her eyes still fell on Mo Shujun stubbornly. She stared at her grandma till the expectancy in her eyes disappeared gradually. In the end, she turned to be indifferent.
Mo Shujun pursed her lips slightly. After a while, she even showed a smile with comfort and talked to Qingxue, “Qingxue, were you cheated by the outsiders? Now too many people envy Duke Shi’s family and it’s normal that they want to cast a bone among us through you. Since the truth can hardly be found, let’s not mention it again.”
The princess royal announced, and even though all people were critical of her as she was partial to the third master’s family, they didn’t dare to say anything but yes obediently.
However, Shi Qingxue didn’t agree and looked at Mo Shujun more coldly.
Mo Shujun was always in a high position, and even if she was wrong, others should comfort her.
She had softened and tried to make peace, but Shi Qingxue still yielded to neither the carrot nor the club, so Mo Shujun’s face turned cold immediately. “Qingxue, you…”
“Grandma, since you said that you can’t recognize the handwriting on this letter, we can ask somebody who can recognize it to tell us,” Shi Qingxue suddenly suggested coldly.
She said that, which meant that she didn’t want to let it pass easily.
Mo Shujun paused for a while and lowered her head to look at the pieces of paper on the floor first. After confirming that even somebody with a skillful hand couldn’t make the letter return to what it had been, she was relieved.
She looked at Shi Qingxue forcefully and distantly. “Qingxue, I know that you are stubborn, but this matter has nothing to do with Zhou. Now that you don’t even have the only evidence, why would you find somebody who can recognize it?”
Shi Qingxue smiled and asked in reply, “Who said this letter is the only evidence?”
Mo Shujun was surprised and questioned, “What do you mean?”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
As Zhou Ruyu noticed that Shi Qingxue stared at her, she felt nervous for no reason, thinking that there was something wrong.
But she could hardly restrain her anger and was unable to calm down to think so much. Instead, she glared at Shi Qingxue ruthlessly, seeming to ask, “I’ll see what you can do to me.”

After confirming that even somebody with a skillful hand couldn't make the letter return to what it had been, she was relieved.She looked at Shi Qingxue forcefully and distantly. Qingxue, I know that you are stubborn, but this matter has nothing to do with Zhou. Now that you don't even have the only evidence, why would you find somebody who can recognize it?Shi Qingxue smiled and asked in reply, Who said this letter is the only evidence?Mo Shujun was surprised and questioned, What do you mean?
