Chapter 259 -258: The One Who Truly Defeats You Isn’t My Wife

Ming Yao was not a person who liked to force things.

Be it familial love, romance, or friendship, if it worked, they stayed together; if not, they separated.

Old Madam Gu was so fixated on the benefactor who saved her years ago that she couldn’t let go of her prejudice against her, and Ming Yao would not make any more futile efforts in the future.

Ming Yao’s face regained its casual and serene expression.

Old Madam Fang held Ming Yao’s hand and gently patted it, “Your grandmother is just not thinking clearly for the moment and hasn’t recognized your worth, don’t mind her.”

Old Madam Fang, furrowing her brows, led Ming Yao into the room and looked at Old Madam Gu, “Little sister, what do you want your elder brother to do by saying these things? Without Ming Yao, your elder brother wouldn’t have survived to this day either. Ming Wan and Shi Yuan may be your saviors, but Ming Yao is your elder brother’s savior too!”

Old Madam Gu looked at Ming Yao with a complex expression in her eyes, “I did not ask her to leave, I just wanted to keep Ming Wan close to me and to prevent elder brother from blaming the Shi Family.”

“And as for the incident at the ancestral worship, I consulted the master of Huafa Temple, and he clearly told me that it was someone close to me that would conflict with me—”

Old Madam Ming’s words had barely ended when the door was pushed open.

A tall and imposing silhouette entered the room.

“Indeed, someone close to you conflicts with you, but it is not my wife!”

Gu Siting had come.

Ming Yao looked over at Gu Siting, dressed thinly, in a black shirt hand-tailored just for him, with the top two buttons undone, exposing a delicate collarbone. His immaculately ironed black trousers encased his long legs, and with one hand in his pocket, he appeared sharp and unyielding.

His narrow eyes were tinged with crimson, as if he had gone the night without sleep.

At that moment, his gaze was piercing and frosty as it fell upon Old Madam Gu, and he exuded an atmosphere of proud indifference.

Old Madam Gu, looking at Gu Siting who repeatedly infuriated her in front of Old Master Fang and Old Madam Fang, was so angry that she trembled.

“Ah Ting, I am your grandmother, you keep making me angry time and time again, do you wish for me to die sooner?”

Gu Siting’s jaw was tense, his voice icy, “Before you clarify the truth, you arbitrarily accuse someone else of being a jinx, have you considered their feelings?”

“In my heart, Grandmother, you were reasonable, but now, you have become irrational!”

Because Song Yuzhi had claimed since he was young that he was a jinx, Gu Siting was very averse to these words.

Similarly, he did not want his wife, Ming Yao, to carry such a reputation.

Old Madam Gu’s fingers trembled, her complexion turning ashen, “The master of Huafa Temple said it himself, are you questioning the master’s ability?”

Those who believed in Buddhism had great faith in the words of the master of Huafa Temple.

Gu Siting did not believe in Buddhism, but he wouldn’t casually disparage anything either.

“In the dead of winter, why didn’t those snakes hibernate in their holes, but instead deliberately went to the room where you were resting? Don’t you find that strange?”

Old Madam Gu frowned tightly, “Zhuoran investigated, there was no one who released the snakes. What does that tell you, that someone truly conflicts with me, and that’s why the snakes attacked me…”

Gu Siting let out a cold laugh, “Fang Zhuoran certainly won’t say someone released the snakes because he was the one who did it, and he is also the one who conflicts with you!”

What?

The room suddenly fell into a deep silence.

However, Ming Yao was not overly surprised.

Dead white cranes at the gravesite, followed by countless snakes—it was clear someone was orchestrating these events behind the scenes.

The target was obviously her.

There were only a few in the Fang Family who didn’t like her.

Fang Zhuoran was the first to bear the brunt!

“This is impossible!” Old Madam Gu immediately denied.

Old Madam Fang was also somewhat surprised.

Fang Zhuoran had always been filially pious and excellent in all aspects, could he really have done such a malicious thing?

Old Master Fang was silent for a moment before he instructed the butler to call Fang Zhuoran and the other members of the Fang family.

He glanced at Ming Yao and said kindly, “Yao girl, Uncle Grandfather won’t let you be wronged. Whoever wants to frame you, today Uncle Grandfather will certainly give you an explanation!”

Ming Yao slightly curved the corners of her lips, “Uncle Grandfather, don’t get agitated. Your health is what’s most important right now!”

Old Madam Gu looked at Ming Yao with a complex expression.

She would rather believe that it was Ming Yao who had jinxed her than believe that it was Fang Zhuoran who had intentionally released the snake.

Not long after, Fang Zhuoran and the members of the Fang family arrived.

Seeing that the old master’s spirits were still fairly good, Fang Zhuoran and his parents said a bunch of pleasant and flattering words.

Old Master Fang didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point, “Zhuoran, was it you who released the snake on the day of the ancestor worship and tomb sweeping?”

Fang Zhuoran’s expression suddenly stiffened.

He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, “Grandfather, how could it possibly be me who released it?” After that, he glanced at Ming Yao and Gu Siting, “Who wants to frame me for something I didn’t do?”

Old Madam Gu spoke up for Fang Zhuoran, “Big Brother, Zhuoran couldn’t possibly do such a thing!”

Gu Siting looked at Old Madam Gu, his lips curling up in a cold sneer, “What, now Grandmother doesn’t even believe what I say?”

Old Madam Gu, “…”

Spending all day siding with Ming Yao against her, could she still trust him?

Fang Zhuoran’s complexion changed dramatically as he glared at Gu Siting, “Fourth Brother, why are you framing me?”

Fang Zhuoran’s mother, Liu Lan, was filled with righteous indignation, “Ah Ting, are you framing our Zhuoran for the sake of your wife? The master from Huafa Temple has already said that she is your grandmother’s bane. To clear her name as the jinx, you’re actually resorting to such dirty tricks to frame our Zhuoran!”

Liu Lan was looking forward to the day Fang Zhuoran would inherit the Fang family. If he were to bear the blame for releasing the snake during the ancestor worship and tomb sweeping, given Old Master Fang’s character, he would certainly disqualify him from the line of inheritance.

She couldn’t possibly let the second branch of the family benefit.

Fang Zhuoran’s father, Fang Zhentao, also pointed at Gu Siting and cursed in anger, “Our Fang family has always treated you well, yet you want to harm our Zhuoran like this? Go on, our Fang family doesn’t welcome you and your wife. Ever since you two came here, how much trouble have you brought us?”

After Fang Zhentao finished yelling, they heard Old Master Fang’s uncontainable rage, “Shut up! Ah Ting is like my own grandson to me—who dares to speak to him like that again, try it! And Yao girl, without her, would I still be alive?”

Old Master Fang glowered sharply at Liu Lan and Fang Zhentao, “Are you two hoping for me to pass away sooner?”

Liu Lan and Fang Zhentao’s pupils shrank in fear, and they hurriedly knelt down.

“Dad, we would never have such intentions!”

Old Master Fang ignored them and turned to Gu Siting, “Ah Ting, talk is cheap. Show the evidence. If it truly was Zhuoran who did it, I will punish him without mercy!”

Gu Siting clapped his hands, and before long, Lu Zhou pushed in a man covered in bruises and cuts.

Seeing the man who came in, Fang Zhuoran’s complexion drastically changed.

Could it be the snake breeder?

The snake breeder had a certain rapport with Fang Zhuoran; it stood to reason that he wouldn’t betray him.

Fang Zhuoran looked at the wounds on the man’s body—could he have been tortured by Gu Siting into confessing?
