After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 15 Disgust

Because of Tang Jingting's sudden accident, this marriage, which was originally the envy of everyone, was naturally put on hold.

Tang Jingting was handsome, which captivated Yuan Yutong. However, the intervention of the Yuan family instantly extinguished any remaining hope Yuan Yutong had for him, and she was unwilling to mention the marriage arrangement again.

With a brighter future ahead, Yuan Yutong was naturally not blinded by the small prosperity of Pengning Town. She was already looking forward to the wonderful days of returning to the Yuan family in Yuanzhou as a young lady of high birth.

When the time comes, Yuan Yutong will naturally have a more suitable marriage partner, and it will definitely not be a small merchant family like the Tang family in Pengning Town.

After learning about these differences, Yuan Yutong accepted the reality, but she still held a place in her heart for the girl's first crush. She would not expose the problem of her background at that time, so she had no room to say anything.

Now, this marriage has become one of the pieces of evidence used by others to attack Lü Daquan's family!

Although many people in the village envied Yuan Yutong and longed to replace her, marry into the Tang family, marry Tang Jingting, and become the young mistress of the Tang family, they could only dream about it because of Yuan Yutong's true identity and Wu Guizhi's various slanderous actions.

Of course, the Tang family is currently in a very bad situation. Their business has been suppressed from all sides. This is all the Yuan family's revenge against the Tang family for daring to covet Yuan Yutong. They don't know if the Tang family can survive this ordeal, so they are naturally taking a wait-and-see attitude and will not let their daughter suffer after marrying into the family.

If the Tang family can weather the storm and continue to make money and live a good life, then they might have a chance to enjoy a life of luxury if they can find another way.

Even Wu Guizhi had these thoughts.

But when facing Xie Shulan, Wu Guizhi remained righteous and righteous, pinning the blame on Xie Shulan.

Looking at Xie Shulan with sarcasm, Wu Guizhi was quite satisfied with Xie Shulan's current miserable state, and continued, "What a pity. You've schemed so much for that good-for-nothing son of yours and done so many bad things, but that good-for-nothing will never appreciate your kindness. He has long since gone back to clinging to the Yuan family and will never come back."

"Even with your family's miserable life, she'd be better off as a fake heiress in the Yuan family than you are. She's not going to come back and suffer with you."

"Madam Xie, look at you, in the end you've gained nothing but water in a bamboo basket. Now you have neither of your two daughters left, and they don't want you anymore!"

"This is all your own doing, the retribution for your evil deeds!"

Hearing what Wu Guizhi said, Xie Shulan and the others were indeed somewhat shocked.

If even her own daughter misunderstands her, believes these false accusations, and thinks she is a heinous and wicked person who stays in the Yuan family in order to live a good life, then wouldn't all her expectations during this time have been completely dashed?

If that were the case, how could she possibly continue?

The framing and slander by Wu Guizhi and others could not break her, but if her biological daughter Lü Xinyan also believed that she had done it on purpose and had evil intentions, which was why she refused to acknowledge them as her family, it would undoubtedly cause Xie Shulan to collapse.

However, Xie Shulan felt a pang of pain when she noticed Wu Guizhi's gloating expression, but she remained calm.

If things are really as Wu Guizhi said, then the Yuan family should have other means to prove and confirm this matter, causing their family to completely collapse.

However, Wu Guizhi is still only talking about it, and the truth of the matter remains to be verified.

Wu Guizhi definitely couldn't stand to see her doing well, and she knew her very well. Her intention to fabricate lies to attack her was indeed more targeted.

The Yuan family hired Wu Guizhi to do these things; they're really ruthless!

Wu Guizhi had initially thought that this news would be enough to cause Xie Shulan to break down and suffer, but seeing that Xie Shulan was still able to remain calm, clearly not believing her words, Wu Guizhi's brows furrowed involuntarily.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Guizhi snorted again and said, "It's all thanks to the kindness of the Yuan family that they didn't hold it against you because you raised their daughter. Otherwise, given the vicious things you've done, would you still be able to speak here? You would have been locked up in jail long ago!"

“You have committed illegal acts and deserve to go to jail, yet you are still not satisfied!”

"So, Xie, you are now getting what you deserve, yet you still don't know how to be grateful to the Yuan family. You continue to distort the truth and confuse right and wrong. You are truly beyond redemption! No wonder that good-for-nothing you gave birth to doesn't want to come back to see you after learning what you've done."

At this point, Wu Guizhi met Xie Shulan's restrained and calm gaze, and felt that her actions could no longer be hidden from Xie Shulan. She felt that Xie Shulan had seen through her long ago, as if she were watching Xie Shulan perform a monkey show.

This calmness of Xie Shulan was what Wu Guizhi disliked most.

Especially Xie Shulan's knowing yet calm gaze always made Wu Guizhi want to dig her out!

Wu Guizhi never expected that after experiencing so many terrible things, Xie Shulan could still maintain such a gaze and refuse to kneel down and beg for mercy!

She did all this not only to accept the benefits and tasks from the Yuan family, but also to make Xie Shulan kneel down and beg for mercy!

After so many years as sisters-in-law, Wu Guizhi wanted to use this method to put Xie Shulan in a superior position.

Of course, once she achieved her goal, she wouldn't let Xie Shulan off the hook.

Wu Guizhi wanted nothing more than to seize such a good opportunity to crush Xie Shulan's self-esteem!

Since Xie Shulan was so ungrateful and dared to look at her with such eyes, as if she were so pitiful, Wu Guizhi could not stand it!

With a hardened heart, Wu Guizhi stared at Xie Shulan, gritted her teeth, and continued, "If you still don't know your mistakes and want to continue to tarnish the village's and clan's reputation, aren't you afraid of being driven out by the village chief and clan head?"

"When everyone knows you're the villains who deliberately switched the children, let's see which place will dare to take you in!"

"Without the protection of your family and village, your whole family can just wait to die!"

Having already received the benefits, Wu Guizhi still put in a lot of effort in her acting.

Furthermore, Wu Guizhi only gave her a few coarse grain buns, which swayed all the eloquent women in the village to her side and join forces against Xie Shulan.

In this way, Xie Shulan's family will never be able to turn their lives around!

Even if Xie Shulan knelt down and kowtowed to her, it was too late!
