Chapter 247: I Don’t Believe You’ve Ever Been So Kindhearted

“You…” Liang Xiuqin’s face immediately got ugly when Yun Xi exposed her ulterior motives in such a straightforward manner.

Yun Xi’s bluntness was tantamount to Yun Xi giving her a slap in the face.

“Wretched girl! How can you speak to me in such a manner? I am your mother, after all, and everything I do is for your own good. With someone of Young Marshal Mu’s status, if you accidentally offended him, would you be able to take responsibility for the consequences?”

No wonder she hadn’t been able to figure out how the jade seal had gotten back in Young Master Mu’s things. Turns out that Yun Xi and Young Marshal Mu actually knew each other.

Upon hearing her mother go on in this way, Yun Xi couldn’t help but laugh. Her mother was so unbelievably thick-skinned.

“Mom, haven’t you already offended Young Marshal Mu once?”

Liang Xiuqin looked dumbfounded. “When did I offend Young Marshal Mu? Don’t talk nonsense!”

“At Madam Chen’s charity auction…when you bribed someone to steal Young Marshal Mu’s jade seal. I heard that it was Young Marshal Mu’s personal seal. If you had stolen it, you would’ve gone to jail.”

Upon the mention of the jade seal, there was obvious guilt written all over Liang Xiuqin’s face. “I…that jade seal was never stolen, right? Why are you trying to pin the blame on me? I didn’t do anything.”

“Mom, you know very well what I’m talking about, and Young Marshal Mu knows about it too. It is true that I put the jade seal back where it belonged. Mom, do you need me to explain to you why you are still safe and sound?”

“What do you mean?” Liang Xiuqin’s heart lurched. She had basically guessed what Yun Xi was insinuating.

“I used my lifesaving kindness to pay off your crime of theft. Otherwise, you would only be able to talk to me from prison now. You know that Young Marshal Mu is not an ordinary person, yet you still stole his things. What made you think he would let you off the hook so easily?”

Yun Xi snorted softly, and a hint of mischief flashed through her animated eyes.

“So Mom, don’t even think about trying to take advantage of him because I saved his life. If you really want to, okay, I’ll talk to Young Marshal Mu. As for how he will settle accounts with you or the Yun family…”

“You, you shut up!”

Liang Xiuqin’s lips trembled as she interrupted Yun Xi as she threatened her. She didn’t believe that this wretched girl had been so kind as to protect her with her lifesaving kindness.

“I don’t believe you have ever been so kindhearted…”

Liang Xiuqin’s eyes flickered with her internal struggles. The expression on her face was one of resentment.

She had tried to frame her not that long ago, and now Yun Xi wanted her to believe that she had been protecting her.

“Good-hearted? Yes, I’m not that kind. But I am different from you. I don’t want to be known as a girl who has a mother who has been in jail. That would be too shameful. I wouldn’t be able to maintain my dignity in front of my classmates. So then why shouldn’t I solve the problem directly?”

She knew exactly what her mother was thinking, and she didn’t want her to even think about exploiting her in order to social climb through Young Marshal Mu.

“If you don’t believe me, mother, you could also go see Young Marshal Mu and ask him about it. If you offend Young Marshal Mu and ruin dad’s future, then you and Liang Xinyi will have to sleep on the streets. Think about that for a minute.”

“Don’t you dare threaten me. I’m not scared!”

“Since you aren’t afraid, then you can go. I’m not stopping you.”

Yun Xi snorted and, without bothering to say anything further, she turned around and went upstairs.

Her mother didn’t have the guts or the brains to do anything worthwhile. All she could do was dream about climbing the mountain.

Because of Liang Xinyi’s bad idea, the mention of the jade seal had been enough to make her mother panic. Served her right since she had dug her own grave…

If they hadn’t stolen the jade seal in the first place, they might have gained the upper hand today.

…

The days passed, and, one after another, various tests followed in school.

Liang Xinyi had had to go through the expulsion procedure, and Liang Xiuqin had found her another school nearby. She had probably had to spend a ton of money to get her into it.

Lately, the expression on her mother’s face was darker than the soles of her shoes.

Without Liang Xinyi in her school, Yun Xi’s life became much more comfortable and easy.

After also getting in trouble, Li Sinuo had also learned to keep a low profile. She kept her head buried in her studies every day without talking to the other classmates.

Occasionally, she would gaze at Yun Xi with deep hatred in her eyes.

Yun Xi didn’t bother paying her any attention. Today was the 25th, which was the day when Mu Feichi returned.
