CHAPTER 33: CHAPTER 33: WHO ELSE COULD I BE

EDITOR: CTCTRANS

Mrs. Hong was reprimanded by a little girl who seemingly appeared out of nowhere, and angrily pointed at Shen Qinglan, scolding, "What kind of thing are you?"

Shen Qingzhu wanted to pull Shen Qinglan away, but was held back by Li Wei.

He turned his head to look, only to see Li Wei slightly shaking his head at him.

For some reason, Li Wei felt that Shen Qinglan could temper Mrs. Hong’s arrogance.

"Me?"

Shen Qinglan sneered, "Who else could I be but that fool you keep talking about?"

"You are Shen Qinglan?"

This time it wasn’t Mrs. Hong speaking, but Li Yan’s wife, Mrs. Rong.

"You are Shen Qinglan? How is that possible?"

Mrs. Hong was somewhat shocked. Although she had heard the news, she always thought the Shen Family deliberately said that, maybe they locked that fool up and claimed her madness was cured.

Shen Qinglan said softly, "Whether you believe it or not doesn’t change the fact that I am Shen Qinglan."

Mrs. Hong was so intimidated by Shen Qinglan’s stare that her legs weakened slightly.

The way this girl stared at her was like gazing at a dead person, incredibly frightening.

"You...even if you are cured, it doesn’t erase the fact that you were once a fool!

And your sister, she’s so fierce. Our Ah Wei is going to be an official in the future. If he marries, it’ll be the young ladies from the town, not your sister, that village girl!"

After Mrs. Hong finished speaking, her initial fear instantly vanished, and her arrogance surged back.

Shen Qinglan’s lips curled, her voice still cool, "My family are farmers, my sister is a village girl, then what is your Li family? And what are you?"

Mrs. Hong put her hands on her hips, "Our Li family is of course the family of a future official, and I’m naturally the mother of a future official!"

"Whether or not Li Wei can pass the exam, even if he does..."

Shen Qinglan looked Mrs. Hong up and down, "Having someone like you, a useless, hip-swaying shrew as a mother, would be the first insult of his official career."

"What did you say?"

Ignoring her shouting, Shen Qinglan continued, "Besides, marrying the girls from the town? Whether your son is willing to marry, it also depends if the girl is willing to marry, even if your son is willing and the girl is willing, do you think they would be fond of having a village shrew like you as a mother-in-law?"

Shen Qinglan gave her a contemptuous glance and added, "Ladies from prestigious families value face the most, they wouldn’t let anyone know that their in-laws are mere farmers, what do you think they would do?"

Shen Qinglan laughed coldly again, "They would definitely make sure her husband cuts ties with the in-laws, never to interact for life!

Of course, that’s the lighter side. If they were harsher, they would hire a few martial arts experts to secretly deal with you."

The more Mrs. Hong listened, the wider her eyes opened, her face faintly pale.

"You...you’re talking nonsense. Our Ah Wei wouldn’t treat us that way!"

"I’m talking nonsense?"

Shen Qinglan gave her a cold look, "You know whether I’m talking nonsense or not."

If it wasn’t for Shen Qingju, Shen Qinglan wouldn’t bother wasting her words frightening people.

Shen Qingzhu was shocked and relieved to see Shen Qinglan speak so much for the first time.

Shen Qinglan’s words not only terrified Mrs. Hong but also made both Mrs. Rong and Li Yan anxious.

Li Yan said seriously, "Ah Wei, all your school fees and book money came from the Li family, you mustn’t forget the family just because you become an official!"

Mrs. Rong agreed, "Exactly, little uncle, your elder brother worked hard to support your education, up and down the mountains, don’t be ungrateful."

Li Wei’s face was very unpleasant. His school fees were given by his grandfather, and thereafter, he earned money himself by writing letters for people or doing temporary jobs, never using a penny from anyone else?

They really have the nerve to claim those credits!
