FID – Chapter 262

They were exactly the same as the people in her family in her previous life, making her feel sick.

In public, they would feign deep affection between sisters, pretending to be a harmonious family. But behind the scenes, they wanted to step on you to the dust and squeeze you clean.

“Ah! It hurts!”

Just as they walked around, a cry of pain rang out behind them.

Liu Yusheng turned around and saw the young girl sitting on the ground with tears in her eyes, looking at her with seeming resentment and accusation. “…”

“Xian’er!” Seeing her own daughter suddenly collapsing to the ground, the noblewoman quickly went forward to help her up, and turned towards Liu Yusheng. She rebuked angrily, “My daughter just asked you for your name and wanted to make friends. If you didn’t like it, why did you have to push her down?!”

Then she scolded Fu Yuzheng, “Yuzheng,  I know you have always had a grudge against your family, but your mother’s death really had nothing to do with your family! You denied your father, denied your relatives, and didn’t even come home all these years. Although we’re concerned about you, we never blamed you, and we just thought you were still ignorant! But how can you unite with outsiders to bully your sister like this!”

“Don’t spout such slander!” Fu Yuzheng clenched her teeth and was so angry that her face turned vaguely blue.

She knew very well the usual tricks of this mother and daughter. When Liu Yusheng led her around just now, she walked clearly a little distance away from Fu Yuxian. She didn’t even touch her, so how could she have pushed her down?!

If she was the only one present today, she would have brushed off their false accusations. 

But the person they were targeting now was Liu Yusheng, making her suffer an unwarranted disaster because of her!

If she allowed them to turn black and white like this, how would she explain to the King later!

More people increasingly gathered around and started pointing.

Liu Yusheng looked especially calm, watching the mother and daughter helping each other to bring into play the role of the victim.

She had long been tired of seeing this sort of trick in her previous life.

“Do you really take everyone else for fools? Who else in the capital doesn’t know how the First Wife of the Fu family climbed to the top, and how the eldest miss snatched the title of the First Miss of the Fu family! When the head of the family favored his mistress and did away with his wife at that time, assisting his concubine to be promoted and turning a concubine’s daughter into the Eldest Miss, everyone in the capital’s circles gossiped about it as a laughingstock! Since you still want to slander Miss Liu, then I don’t mind taking the scandal of the Fu family out in public!” Fu Yuzheng’s eyes reddened when she brought her pain out and spread it out in front of others.

Things happened too fast just now. She has no way to prove their innocence, and the only way was to use this method to temporarily scare the mother and daughter off.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yuxian did not care about it this time and refused to let go. “There are a lot of misunderstandings about what happened back then, and you still haven’t been able to untie your heart knot. If there is time, I can explain it clearly to you. But if you said I slandered this girl, I do not know where to start. I have never met her nor have any grievances against her. If she really did not push me, why would I wrong her?”

“You…” Fu Yuzheng was furious and wanted to argue again, but Liu Yusheng gently pulled her away.

Standing in front of Fu Yuzheng, Liu Yusheng regarded the mother and daughter, laughed and said, “Miss, people are coming and going on the street, so many people are watching. You’re insisting that I pushed you, is this not bad for my reputation? Do you have any evidence?”

“If you had not pushed me, would I have fallen on my own?! You and I are not acquainted with each other, so I don’t need to suffer just to slander you. Besides, if you don’t see such things with your own eyes, how can you get evidence? Do you have evidence to prove that you didn’t do it?” Fu Yuxian bit her lip, indignant.

It was indeed like that.

Liu Yusheng also did not bother to look around to see how people were looking at them at the moment. She inclined head and replied, “I really have evidence to prove my innocence. If it turns out that you have slandered me, I’m not going to ask for anything else. Just bow and apologize to me in public. How about that?”

Fu Yuzheng’s eyes flickered slightly. She calmed her heaving emotions and stood behind the girl to see how she would respond.

She seemed to be more unusual than she thought.

On the other side, the mother and daughter also froze and looked at each other.

Could there really be evidence?

But it was already difficult for them to back down in the current situation. If they disagreed, they’d first admit that they were guilty.

Moreover, they didn’t believe that this woman really has the so-called evidence.

Their opponent hadn’t expected what happened, so how could she possibly find evidence in a short period.

Fu Yuxian said angrily with a stiff upper lip, “Miss is speaking with such conviction. If I don’t agree, I will become a villain. If you have any evidence, just show it!”

“Are you going to apologize after I show the evidence?”

“… If you are innocent, I will apologize!”

At that, Liu Yusheng smiled, slowly raised her hands and spread them out in front of people. “This is the evidence.”

Everyone’s eyes immediately fell on the girl’s hands, only to find her white jade fingers actually red!

“Quite coincidentally, before coming to this Golden and Jade Shop, I just looked at the colored paper in the bookstore next door, and my hands were stained with some color. Before I bumped into you, I reached out to pull Miss Fu. Check Miss Fu’s sleeves if there’s also stains.”

Fu Yuzheng immediately unfolded her sleeves. She is wearing an aqua green dress today. Light red traces on the light color were very faint. It was not very obvious, but it was really stained.

Some spectators uttered, “There are really stains. It seems that this girl need not say anything. I saw it with my own eyes when she pulled the girl to get around earlier, but I just didn’t notice whether she pushed someone. Not that there’s this stain as evidence, everything’s easy. Just look if the girl has stains on her clothes, and everything will be clear.”

“That Miss is wearing a light pink dress. A red stain will be more obvious,” someone agreed, while yelling at Fu Yuxian, “Miss, to prove that you did not slander her, show the color stains on your body for us to see quickly!”

The vaguely dirty words drew a burst of laughter.

Fu Yuxian blushed white and red at once.

She always dressed neatly and did not allow flaws. It was impossible for her to wear dirty clothes outside. Where was she to find some color stains?!

“I circled around here for a while but can’t see any red stains anywhere. Miss, how exactly did she push you? Not only did she let you fall, but she also didn’t leave any traces. It’s really strange.”

With so many enthusiastic bystanders, Liu Yusheng simply no longer needed to add anything. The truth of the matter has been revealed.

Standing quietly in the middle of the crowd, Liu Yusheng inclined her head and looked askance at the red-faced young girl with a smile.”Is Miss going to apologize now, or find another charge to put on my head? Maybe I did not push you with my hands, but with my elbows, with my shoulders? Did I perhaps trip you up with my feet?”

“…” Fu Yuxian was about to crush her teeth from gnashing. These were indeed what she was about to blurt out!

She was robbed of them beforehand. If she were to say them again, she could no longer excuse herself. She could only humiliate herself more!
