CHAPTER 570: CHAPTER 344: FALSE ACCUSATION

The first rehearsal ended, and upon seeing Su Sha, Qiao Xiaowan was like a child seeing her own mother, rushing over to hug and sob. Luo Ye curled her lips as she saw people sticking their heads in curiously, so she let the curtain at the entrance fall.

Although backstage was in a giant tent, each area was divided into small separate spaces with thick canvas, and the use of each space was marked on the door curtains.

Such a design was originally intended to prevent mutual interference during rehearsals, but now it just made it convenient for Miss Qiao to act spoiled.

Su Sha, puzzled by Qiao Xiaowan’s crying, patted her back and asked, "Xiao Wan, what exactly happened?" Qiao Xiaowan choked up and pointed at Luo Ye.

Luo Ye fluttered her large eyes, looking at Su Sha with clear pupils and saying nothing, curious to see how her future mother-in-law would deal with the situation.

With a sigh, Su Sha said, "Xiao Wan, you mean Luo Ye bullied you, but how did she bully you? Explain clearly."

"Look at my arm, and my legs..." As Qiao Xiaowan spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and pant legs, revealing two large, swollen bruises on her arms and legs!

Bai Yan, who was leisurely sipping water from a bottle, choked and began coughing continuously, waving her hand as she ran outside. Luo Ye glanced at the swaying curtain, indifferent.

It was normal for the other party to avoid the situation; nobody wanted to wade into these muddy waters. However, she didn’t expect that Qiao Xiaowan, this woman, would actually play such dirty tricks on her!

"What in the world happened? How did you get hurt so badly?" Su Sha helped Qiao Xiaowan sit properly and quickly found some medicine to apply to the injuries.

"Luo Ye looks down on our dance troupe’s performances. After I argued with her a few sentences, she pushed me down. Brother Xiao Xuan saw it, but didn’t stop her, even siding with her.

After Brother Xiao Xuan left, she took advantage of my time on stage to stab me in the leg with a needle. It hurt so much I fell and hit the edge of the stage," Qiao Xiaowan narrated the "reasons" while hissing in pain.

"A needle?" Su Sha looked doubtfully at Luo Ye.

"This..." Luo Ye cooperatively showed the wrist guard on her wrist, taking out a thin silver needle and swinging it back and forth.

"Yes, it’s this kind of needle." Qiao Xiaowan shrank back, looking pitifully at Luo Ye, "Brother Xiao Xuan and I grew up together, I can’t just stop seeing him because of you. How can you be so cruel to me just because I like Brother Xiao Xuan?"

After Su Sha finished applying the medicine to Qiao Xiaowan, she told her not to roll down her sleeves and pant legs for the time being. Once everything was done, she turned to Luo Ye, "Is what she said true?"

Luo Ye smiled faintly, "Auntie, you’ve known her for a long time. Based on your understanding, do you think what she’s saying is true or false?"

"This..." Su Sha hesitated.

Luo Ye added softly, "Or should I say, does Auntie trust her own son’s judgement?"

Qiao Xiaowan hurriedly said, "Aunt Shasha, Luo Ye is just trying to change the subject. Sister Bai was there when it happened. If you don’t believe it, you can verify with Sister Bai."

"Luo Ye, I trust my son, but right now, my position is Vice Commander Su, and I’m in charge of the three of you, so I naturally can’t show favoritism to any party.

I’ll verify with Bai Yan afterwards. If what Xiao Wan said is true, you’ll have to apologize to her. If Xiao Wan has wronged you, then she deserves it, how about that?"

Luo Ye chuckled, "Auntie, the harm caused by false accusations can be not much less than actual physical injuries!"

Su Sha nodded, "Alright, if Qiao Xiaowan has wronged you, she will apologize to you. This is how I’ll handle it officially, and personally, I don’t want my daughter-in-law to be a cruel, petty person!"

Luo Ye nodded and smiled, "Auntie, I have no objections to you handling this matter impartially, but before you handle it, you’ve already taken sides. I just hope that when you verify things, you won’t be so clear-cut."

Su Sha frowned, "Are you suggesting I’m biased towards Xiao Wan?"

"What do you think, Auntie?" retorted Luo Ye.

"I..." Su Sha stopped, unable to continue. Indeed, she subconsciously saw Qiao Xiaowan as her own child, whereas she always unconsciously pushed Luo Ye away.

"Su Sha, the new program list is out." Lin Tuanzhang lifted the curtain and walked in, handing the new program list to Su Sha, "Rehearsal this afternoon, the second rehearsal is tomorrow, we’ll go by this list."

"Okay, I’ll arrange it right away." Su Sha nodded her head and pushed Lin Tuanzhang towards the exit, "Go busy yourself."

Lin Tuanzhang gave her a suspicious glance, jokingly saying, "Why so eager to get rid of me? Afraid I’ll steal your daughter-in-law, huh?"
