Chapter 31: Liang Shi's Scheming

 Chapter 31: Liang Shi's Scheming

Shu Yu and Ruan Shi turned their heads at the same time and saw that Lu Laosan and his wife Liang Shi had somehow sneaked into the yard.

Without saying a word, Liang Shi took advantage of Ruan Shi and the girl's inattention and grabbed the girl by the back of her neck.

Unfortunately, the girl either really was unkempt or was intentionally making herself look pitiful. Her neck was black with dirt, as she hadn't bathed for several days.

Liang Shi spat a mouthful of saliva on the girl's neck, then vigorously rubbed it a few times, removing a layer of mud. Satisfied with her work, she laughed and said, "I took a look and there's no birthmark on this girl's neck. She's a fake."

Shu Yu was shocked by this move. She had only seen Liang Shi twice before, but each time Liang Shi had surprised her with her unexpected actions.

Old lady Ruan finally reacted and rushed over to hit Liang. "What are you doing? Spitting on someone's neck? Do you have a serious illness?"

Liang Shi was not someone to be trifled with. She pushed Ruan Shi away and said, "What am I doing? I'm helping Second Sister-in-law prove whether this girl is Second Miss or not. Miss Shu openly and straightforwardly showed us her neck. You guys are hiding something, aren't you afraid of being guilty?"

Lu Laosan also chimed in, "That's right, that's right. You came knocking on our door when my mother and second brother weren't home, thinking that no one was here and you could deceive us."

As he spoke, Lu Laosan and his wife stood beside Ruan Shi and Shu Yu, looking as though they would kill old lady Ruan if she dared to say another word.

Shu Yu looked at the two of them suspiciously. What were they trying to do? She hadn't seen them act so righteous before. Weren't they just squatting at the gate to watch the excitement a little while ago?

But she didn't have time to think about it now. She walked towards old lady Ruan and the girl step by step and asked, "Now you can tell us what you're trying to do by bringing this fake here?"

Old lady Ruan couldn't help but take a step back. "I, I..."

She looked at Ruan Shi and Shuyu, the Lao San couple, and Lu Dasong who were standing in the courtyard, and her heart sank.

Old lady Ruan regretted not bringing her son over. At the time, she thought that since the old lady of the Lu family was not there and Lao Er of the Lu family had gone to the county, the two of them coming over would be enough. It would also be a good opportunity to show weakness and soften her daughter's heart.

Who knew that a Miss Shu would suddenly appear, and this Miss Shu was actually the real Er Ya.

Old lady Ruan was furious, but looking at the Lu family's eager eyes, she suddenly closed her eyes, her legs went weak and she sat down on the ground, then slapped her thighs and cried, "Oh, I'm really unlucky. I had good intentions but was taken for a fool. How could I have known that this girl was a fake? I'm the one who was deceived. Oh, woe is me!"

Shu Yu looked at her and smiled, then turned to the girl and asked, "She says she was deceived by you, so you're the one who cheated her? Where did you come from? What do you want to do? Are you trying to deceive the Lu family by pretending to be Lu Er Ya? If so, what's next? The Lu family is living a difficult life, and there's nothing worth deceiving here. Could it be that you want to stay in Shishi Village and do something to the villagers under the guise of being Lu Er Ya? Tell me, do you have any accomplices? Where are they, and what's your plan?"

The girl was stunned. She didn't want to do anything, where would she find any accomplices?
