The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1759: Chapter 1759: I’m Not Lying to You

Meng Qi’s voice was loud, shocking Ms. Tao, who looked at Meng Qi in disbelief, ”Ah Qi, what did you just say? What do you mean your uncle betrayed your father?”

The color drained from Zhang Clan’s face, her body trembling with rage, itching to lash out at Meng Qi.

But considering the current situation, she immediately shook her head in denial, ”No betrayal, no, why would your uncle betray your father? What does your father’s capture have to do with your uncle? So many people from the county town were taken by mountain bandits, it can’t all be your uncle’s doing, right? You, this is too far-fetched.”

She forced a laugh, raising her head only to meet Shu Yu’s faintly mocking expression.

Zhang Clan’s heart thudded, growing more and more guilty, and her voice became increasingly harsh, ”Monarch Lu Xiang, if you don’t want to save him, so be it, but why slander my man here? I know, you are engaged to Meng Yunzheng, and back then my Ah Qin wanted to marry Young Master Meng, so you have harbored resentment against us. This is clearly a personal vendetta.”

She abruptly stood up and turned to walk out of the flower hall, ”If you don’t care about my man, then I’ll go find my brother-in-law. Back then, my lord saved my brother-in-law’s life, and I refuse to believe he’ll turn a blind eye to his brother-in-law in danger. Where’s my brother-in-law? Didn’t they say he returned? I want to ask if the life-saving favor my lord granted still holds.”

Tao Qin, who hadn’t spoken till now, hurriedly followed her mother as she saw her leaving.

Shu Yu’s expression turned cold, ”Stop right there.”

Zhang Clan turned around with a sneer, ”What, you, an outsider, think you can call the shots in my elder sister-in-law’s family? Elder sister-in-law, take a good look, is there still a place for you in this house?”

Ms. Tao’s mind was in a whirl, having taken in Meng Qi’s words, she felt on the verge of collapse because she did.

Shu Yu crossed her arms, watching Zhang Clan still stirring trouble at this critical juncture.

If that’s the case, then she can’t be blamed.

When Zhang Clan reached the door, Shu Yu finally spoke slowly, ”Not to call the shots, just to let you know, Tao Feili is dead.”

In an instant, everyone in the flower hall turned their heads, staring at Shu Yu in shock.

Ms. Tao’s knees gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.

Zhang Clan didn’t believe it, ”You, you’re lying to me.”

Tao Qin was trembling all over, her mouth opening in disbelief.

Even Meng Han and Meng Qi found it unbelievable, their first reaction being disbelief, even suspecting Shu Yu of saying it to thwart Zhang Clan’s arrogance.

But Shu Yu’s expression was earnest and serious, ”I’m not lying. In a few days, we will have someone send his corpse back to the Tao family.”

”Ah...” Zhang Clan screamed, unwilling to believe it, turning and lunging at Shu Yu, ”You filthy girl, daring to curse my man to die, I’ll tear your mouth apart.”

She moved too quickly, even Ying Xi standing not far away didn’t have time to react.

Shu Yu, however, stood her ground, and as she lunged, Shu Yu simply raised a foot and kicked her away.

”Cough, cough cough.” Zhang Clan fell to the ground, her stomach in unbearable pain. Yet she still turned her head, glaring venomously at Shu Yu, then raised her head to shout, ”Meng Kuan, are you dead? Come out and see how your good nephew’s fiancée treats your brother-in-law, come out and see.”

”Haven’t you had enough!” a furious voice suddenly rang from the courtyard.
