Chapter 136: Madame Bao, the one real Devil.

"Madame Bao, you are very gracious but not everyone deserves your kindness. Jing Lihua is a part of my family but I am morally upright. Just because of kinship I won't hide anything from you." Su Donghai's head was high. 

He glanced at Jing Lihua when she didn't raise her voice in objection. When he saw the strange expressions on Jing Lihua's face, he was confused at first. However, it didn't take him long to assume that she was scared. Establishing that in his mind, he was very satisfied.

However, fear wasn't the reason behind her funny expressions. She was just feeling helpless about whatever Madame Bao was planning.

"What do you mean to say, Elder Su? What did she do?" Madame Bao continued to pretend to be curious.

"Just before you arrived she had been disrespectful towards me. When she came into the house, she didn't pay any heed to the household rules."

Every family had rules in it. Some families put importance on those rules while some did not. Su Donghai assumed that Madame Bao was also one of those who put importance on their family rules. After all, that was what he had heard about her through rumors. During her tea parties, Madame Bao had a set of strict rules and anyone who made the slightest mistake would be forced to leave at once. 

"Is that so?" Mamdae Bao glanced at Jing Lihua with a suspicious gaze. "I thought that Xiao Jing was a very obedient child. Elder Su, can you tell me what exact rules did she break?"

When Su Donghai saw the suspecting look in Madame Bao's eyes and lack of response and denial from Jing Lihua's side, his confidence was strengthened. He felt a great deal of accomplishment when he saw himself putting a crack in their trust.

"According to the family rules, the House Master should be the one she should have greeted first after one enters the House after a long period of time. This rule had been followed and respected in Su household for generations. However, she totally ignored me."

"If not you then who did she meet after she entering the house?"

Su Donghai fell silent for a while. "Her father-in-law." Saying it like this didn't feel like Jing Lihua was in the wrong. To turn the tables, he quickly said. "But that doesn't matter. I am not a petty person I would have ignored such small detail. Considering that my younger brother is her father-in-law, it was only right that he was the one she went to greet first. What she did later enraged me. When I told her to take th

e family rules into an account, she openly disrespected me."

"Elder Su, how exactly she disrespected you. I am quite interested in this matter." Madame Bao said.

Looking at Madame Bao's serious expressions, Su Donghai wondered maybe she was reconsidering her choice of forming a close relationship with Jing Lihua. He was quite pleased to see his actions bearing fruit and ventured further.

"She had used indecent and vulgar language in front of me. And when I had asked her to reflect on her words, she had arrogantly denied." Su Donghia said with a high head.

Madame Bao gasped and placed her hands over her face. "Xiao Jing did you really..." Madame Bao appeared to be truly shocked.

At this, Jing Lihua broke out of the trance and looked in Su Donghai' direction in shock. "Elder Su, I could expect anything from you but I couldn't expect you to lie so openly. Please at least take your position and age into account when doing such a low thing. You make me feel ashamed."

"Wait, what do you mean Xiao Jing? Is it Elder Su who is lying?" Madame Bao looked totally confused. looking at her expressions, Jing Lihua felt a sudden chill. This woman... deserved an oscar in her acting skills. And that Li Zhiqiang was a complete replica of her; just the male version.

"Silence! How dare you try to mislead Madame Bao? She had given you such respect and this is how you pay her back? If you did something wrong you should admit it than misleading her. Maybe she finds it in her heart and forgives you. You already don't give me the respect of Elder. But Madame Bao treats you so well. Why do you try to mislead her?" Su Donghai quickly said.

At his words, Jing Lihua looked from the scary Mother towards Su Donghai. she almost wanted to caution him secretly that Madame Bao was plying with him. Seeing him so eagerly engaged in this blame-shifting game, Jing Lihua thought it would be unfair if she didn't say her part. "What proof do you have that I used vulgar language against you?"

"You are the young generation while I am house Elder. Whose words hold more credibility? Do I need to teach basic rules to you? Even if you ignore the age, all these servants are proof. They all witnessed your crude language." Su Donghai shook his head. At his words, dozens of servants rushed forward to attest, But Su Donghai stopped them by raising his hand. Appearing magnificent and not wanting to humiliate the other party with his actions. "I just wanted you to be honest and admit your

guilt in front of Madame Bao. I thought you would take her into an account. It was my wrong to drag Madame Bao into this. I suppose Madame Bao's trust for Jing Lihua would have made her think twice. Please forgive if you feel insulted by her behavior. I am the one to blame for dragging you into this."

"Elder Su, Elder Su, why do you keep dragging Madame Bao into this conversation. This matter is between you and me." Jing Lihua didn't know whether to laugh or to cry at his desperate attempts. But she had to admit, this person was a smooth talker. If Madame Bao was a simple person, she might have held a grudge against Jing Lihgua by now.

However, this was Madame Bao, the one real Devil.
