A car accident, our family of three crossed

"Ah, Grandma, I'm listening!" Zhou Ru was called and quickly raised her head and explained, "So Grandma called me here today because of Sister Song? Don't worry, Sister Song is not a bad person. She won't hurt me no matter who tries to hurt me. You don't have to worry about that."

What she actually wanted to say was that even if these so-called sisters in the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion would harm her, Song Ning would not harm her. However, it would be too impolite to say such things, so when the words came to her lips, she took a detour and became much more tactful.

Although she didn't care what these people thought of her relationship with Song Ning, she didn't like seeing Song Ning being belittled like this.

The old lady and the marquis' wife looked at each other. It turned out that Zhou Ru didn't take them to heart at all after saying so much!

They couldn't help but admire the woman's ability to make Zhou Ru protect her so much. In the future, what would happen?

"You are still too naive, girl. How much do you know about the woman's family background and her husband's family background?"

Zhou Ru muttered to herself, as if you guys know it very well.

But she said, "Sister Song and I are friends, and we don't care about family background. As the saying goes, the friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water, and it's the same for us women."

Of course, she would not really tell them about Song Ning's deeds in detail. As long as she could just gloss over it, she would not say much.

"You don't care about family background, but others may not." Madam Hou sneered and said, "Why do you think your grandmother knew about the woman surnamed Song?"

Zhou Ru: "Didn't Sister Rong and the others say that?"

"Of course not. That woman's methods were incredible. In order to get close to the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion, she did not hesitate to use her young son to commit a crime in Xiangguo Temple, hurting the old lady's beloved pet, and even put the blame on Yan'er..."

In order to ruin Song Ning's image in Zhou Ru's mind, Mrs. Hou exaggerated what happened in Xiangguo Temple today and told Zhou Ru the story.

"I don't know what kind of magic she used to make the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion believe her words. Not only did she like her very much, she also asked our Cheng'en Mansion to give an explanation for the murder in Xiangguo Temple. Our Cheng'en Mansion couldn't defeat the Zhenguo Mansion, so we had to swallow this loss. Your grandmother risked her reputation and not only apologized to Xiangguo Temple, but also donated 5,000 taels of silver to Xiangguo Temple to settle the matter."

The Marquis's wife calmly said that the two thousand taels were five thousand taels, which attracted the attention of the old lady and the sisters Zhou Rong and Zhou Yan, but they naturally would not expose her.

"Not only did our Cheng'en Marquisate lose face at Xiangguo Temple today, we also lost money. All of this was caused by that woman. As a girl from the Cheng'en Marquisate, you actually contradict your elders to protect someone who harmed the Marquisate. How can your grandmother not be angry?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady cooperated by stroking her forehead and began to pretend to have a headache again.

Zhou Ru and Xiang Huan looked at each other. If they had not witnessed the whole process in secret at that time, they would not have known how shameless the Cheng'en Marquisate was. They were such a shameless family who could confuse right and wrong.

"Is there any misunderstanding? I believe Sister Song is not that kind of person."

After being scolded by the old lady just now, Zhou Yan was silent for a long time. Now she finally jumped out to speak: "What do you mean, could it be that grandma and mother would slander her? Don't you think she is of low status? Is she worthy of grandma and mother's slander? You are a girl from the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion, but you actually believed that bitch and questioned grandma and mother."

Zhou Ru rolled her eyes silently in her heart. Needless to say, she believed Sister Song. Even if she didn't witness the whole process, she would still firmly believe in her Sister Song.

"I didn't mean to question my grandmother and my aunt. I just wondered if there really was some misunderstanding."

The old lady rubbed her forehead and said weakly, "Whether there is a misunderstanding or not, the fact is that our Cheng'en Marquis Mansion did suffer such a big loss because of that woman, and also lost a large sum of money."

After going in circles, Zhou Ru could probably guess what they were thinking. They just wanted to get the money back, but they didn't want people to think that they were greedy for money!

As expected, this woman who lives in a large mansion is hypocritical and bad. She does bad things but still wants to keep a good reputation.

The meaning is very clear, but I don’t know what they are going to do next.

"So, what does Grandma mean?"

As long as they don't make it clear, Zhou Ru will pretend to be stupid. Anyway, in the eyes of these self-righteous people, she is not a smart person.

After all, the old lady is old and has to save face, so she can't speak too bluntly. Fortunately, there is a silly and naughty Zhou Yan who acts as her mouthpiece.

"If you still consider yourself a member of the Cheng'en Marquisate, you should take the initiative to find the woman surnamed Song and ask for the five thousand taels back instead of asking my grandmother's opinion here."

Hearing this, Zhou Ru looked at the old lady, opened her big, seemingly innocent eyes, and asked, "So, grandma called me here just to ask me to get back the five thousand taels of silver? Is this what I understand?"

The old lady rubbed her forehead, thinking that she was trying to lower her presence, but this girl kept chasing her and insisted that she explain herself clearly.

She is a little confused now. Is this girl really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Can she explain some things so clearly?

After Zhou Ru pondered over it, she continued, "But, weren't these five thousand taels donated to Xiangguo Temple? How can you ask Sister Song for it back? She didn't accept the five thousand taels. Even if you want it back, you should ask Xiangguo Temple for it."

At this point, Zhou Ru paused, as if she had made up her mind, and patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry, grandma. I will go to Xiangguo Temple in person tomorrow and ask the abbot to return the five thousand taels of incense money."

As soon as she said this, the old lady could no longer pretend. If she really went to Xiangguo Temple to ask for the return of the incense money, the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion would be lost.

"You are such a girl, you think whatever you want. Grandmother doesn't mean that. Sister Yan is young and doesn't understand. Don't listen to her nonsense."

Zhou Yan couldn't think of the deeper meaning for a moment. She just thought that if Zhou Ru was willing to go to Xiangguo Temple to get the money back, it would be fine. It would be best if she could get it back. Even if she couldn't, the shame would only be hers, and had nothing to do with other people in the Marquis' Mansion.

But she didn't understand why Zhou Ru was willing to ask for the money, so her grandmother objected and said she was talking nonsense.

Zhou Yan was dissatisfied and was about to retort, but Zhou Rong, who was closest to her, grabbed her arm and whispered, "Don't say anything more."
