Chapter 419: Her defense was broken!
When Qian Xiangmei heard Ruan Xingmian say this, her guess in her heart was immediately confirmed.
This damn girl must have noticed something wrong!
"Miss Xingmian, I am just a servant in the family, not Miss Yueyin's real elder. Besides, the old master and the old lady are both at the table. Isn't it a bit unreasonable for you to ask Miss Yueyin to do this?"
In short, it was a subtle criticism of Ruan Xingmian for being so arrogant that she didn't even care about her grandparents who were so kind to her, and forcing Ruan Yueyin to respect her, an outsider.
"How can it be unreasonable?" Ruan Xingmian sneered, "Grandma Xiang, have you forgotten that grandpa and grandma also said that you are our family and our elders. It's just a bowl of soup to show your appreciation, so Grandma Xiang can bear it. You are reluctant to drink it. Don't you think of us as family?"
Her counterattack made Qian Xiangmei's face freeze immediately.
Meng Yunxiu also smiled and persuaded Xiang Ma, "Xiang Ma, don't refuse. This is the intention of Mianmian and Yinyin. If you refuse again, we will be angry."
Although Xu Qingya understood that they regarded Xiang Ma as an elder, after all, their parents were still there, so wasn't it a bit inappropriate for them to do so?
"Hubby, they..."
Meng Linsheng shook his head at her and whispered, "Don't interfere. Third sister and Mianmian have ulterior motives."
Although he had just sniffed it deliberately, he didn't smell it.
But looking at Mianmian's expression, he could guess that there was probably something wrong with the soup.
Xu Qingya was slightly stunned. What could be the purpose of this?
In order to get people to drink some soup, the third sister even used moral blackmail!
The two elders of the Meng family are both veterans who have seen many ups and downs. Although they don’t know what is going on, they both know that their daughter is not an aggressive person.
There must be some other purpose behind this.
"Miss Third, aren't you shortening my life? I'm just a servant. It's a great favor for me to be able to come back here after leaving the Meng family. So, I accept this kindness, but the old master and the old lady are still here, so I still don't want to taste it."
Qian Xiangmei's excuse was very reasonable.
Meng Yunxiu really couldn't get angry anymore, so she had to look at her precious daughter.
Ruan Xingmian smiled softly, "If that's the case, then I won't force it on my mother-in-law. But I see the soup is getting cold, so could you please bring out the casserole for the stew? I want to serve it myself."
Others who heard this were stunned.
You know, the casserole itself is very heavy, and now it is filled with soup, it is even heavier.
Not to mention asking Xiang Ma to carry it, even if an adult man went, it would be difficult!
"Wife, what does Mianmian mean?" Ruan Zhaoliang was afraid that he would say something wrong, so he asked Meng Yunxiu first.
Meng Yunxiu didn't know what her daughter meant at first, but she soon remembered the conversation between her and her daughter and the housekeeper last night.
Suddenly.
Qian Xiangmei's pupils shrank. She was blatantly targeting her!
"Miss Xingmian, how about I help you serve it?"
Ruan Yueyin thought her parents would speak up to stop her, but she didn't expect them to say anything.
She didn't think it was wrong, but instead felt that her parents were hypocritical.
He kept saying that he would treat his mother-in-law as a family member, but in the end he allowed her to be targeted by Ruan Xingmian.
She suddenly felt a sense of grief for the loss of a rabbit.
So, she pretended to be kind and advised, "Sister Xingmian, that casserole filled with stew is very heavy. Grandma Xiang is already seventy years old. Isn't it a bit unreasonable for you to ask her to move it? What if Grandma Xiang slips and accidentally burns herself? Besides, if this matter gets out, people outside will think that my uncle and his men are abusing their servants, which will be even worse!"
Ruan Xingmian saw through her pretense and said calmly, "Sister Yueyin, don't look down on Grandma Xiang. She is very strong. When something happened in her hometown before, she was able to hang on the balcony with her own hands and wait for the firefighters to rescue her. Today's casserole is nothing to her."
When Qian Xiangmei heard her say this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
This damn girl found out a lot of things!
I’m afraid I can’t hide my identity anymore!
No, you have to stay calm!
"Fourth Miss, I was able to do it by relying on my desire to survive. It's definitely not possible now."
"That's right!" Ruan Yueyin thought that Ruan Xingmian was slandering Grandma Xiang and slapping herself in the face, so she quickly said, "Sister Xingmian, you and your uncle are both studying medicine. Grandma Xiang's hands are full of age spots and her body is just skin and bones. How could she have the strength to hang on the balcony with her arms and wait for the firefighters to come!
Even if you want to embarrass your mother-in-law, you shouldn't tell such a lie!"
She thought what she said made sense and her grandparents would definitely support her!
But I waited and waited, but there was no support.
She was a little dumbfounded. It was okay for her parents to be hypocritical, but why didn’t her grandparents say anything?
She had no choice but to confirm with Meng Linsheng, "Uncle, do you think what Sister Xingmian said is true?"
Meng Linsheng's expression eased for a moment. "I don't know if it's true or not, but Xiang's mother is already seventy years old. The possibility is very low. Even if it succeeds, the arm will probably be severely damaged."
Qian Xiangmei seemed to have found a way out and immediately said, "Young Master is right. I couldn't even lift my arm after I was rescued that day. If I hadn't been sent to the hospital in time, I might not have been able to save my hand."
"Ah!"
Before Meng Linsheng could reply, Ruan Xingmian chuckled.
"Sister Xingmian, what are you laughing at? You didn't believe me just now, so now you don't even believe your uncle's words?" Ruan Yueyin was furious, but her voice still carried an innocent provocation.
Ruan Xingmian ignored her and stood up and walked to Grandma Xiang, looking down at her.
"Grandma Xiang, you may really be old. Don't you remember that when you returned to the Meng family, you said that your family was buried by a landslide, leaving you alone and helpless? And now I'm telling you about the fire, and you can answer fluently, which means you know very well that your family didn't die in the landslide, but in the fire the night before. Why did you lie?"
Qian Xiangmei's face tensed and her heart beat as loudly as a drum.
"Well... I didn't intend to hide it, but this incident was too much of a blow to me, and I felt it was shameful, so I didn't want to mention it."
Mrs. Meng's face darkened. "Mother Xiang, you knew from the beginning that our family hates deception the most, so you never lied to us, let alone tell lies. Even if this matter is not glorious, we will not look down on you for it. Why did you hide it from us?"
"Old lady, I..."
Qian Xiangmei wanted to argue, but Ruan Xingmian didn't give her a chance.
"Grandma Xiang, even if you had to lie about this, then what about the injuries on your body? It's obviously not a fall injury, why do you still say it's a fall injury?"
Her eyes turned from cold to icy, her gaze always locked on her mother-in-law, not allowing her to be distracted for a moment.
Qian Xiangmei felt oppressed by her gaze and felt cold all over.
"I……"
"Or let me ask directly, who are you? Why did you replace Grandma Xiang and return to the Meng family, and even come to the Ruan family? And why did you steal the snow ginseng from Elder Wei's safe last night?"
Qian Xiangmei's psychological defenses were gradually broken under the pressure of Ruan Xingmian!
After the last question, she broke down!
The originally old and dull eyes suddenly became extremely sharp!
"I didn't expect you to find out after all! The boss was right, you are indeed the biggest variable!"
