CHAPTER 92: CHAPTER 92: GET OUT OF MY HOUSE

"Jiang Xue, I made the mistake, I’m sorry. Today we came to ask you to go with us to retrieve the letter from Cheng Li. Please forgive me for my neglect at work."

Only now did Jiang Xue understand why the two had come so early in the morning. First, they feared she would pursue the matter, and second, they wanted to retrieve the letter from Cheng Li.

The letter certainly had to be retrieved; after all, it was her letter. How could it be left in the hands of Cheng Li, that scheming woman?

As for forgiving Cheng Ying, Jiang Xue did not want to escalate the matter. Besides, she wanted to befriend Cheng Ying, which would make sending and receiving letters convenient in the future. So she immediately smiled and said, "Sister Ying, this is not your fault. If anyone is to blame, it’s Cheng Li for deceiving you."

"Yes, yes, you’re right. It was that damned girl Cheng Li who tricked me, claiming she was a good friend of yours and assuring me that she would get the letter to you. That’s the only reason I gave it to her. Had I known she was deceiving me, I would never have given it to her no matter what."

Jiang Xue gave her an out, and Cheng Ying immediately took it. She knew that Jiang Xue intended not to pursue the matter. For this, she was very grateful to Jiang Xue and thought more highly of her, seeing her as someone worth befriending.

Seeing that Jiang Xue forgave his wife, Song Anping was relieved. As long as Jiang Xue did not pursue the issue, things would be easier to handle with Mu Qiancheng.

"Wife, Jiang Xue, it’s getting late, and we still have to go to work later. Can you come with us to Cheng Li’s house now?"

"Sure, I’ll let my parents know." After saying this, Jiang Xue found her parents-in-law, informed them, and then left with the two of them.

The couple both rode bicycles, with an extra bike for Jiang Xue, while they rode on another, heading towards Cheng Li’s house.

The village where Cheng Li’s family lived, called East Field Village, was connected to Huanglong Village where the Mu Family lived. It didn’t take long to get there.

The group headed familiarly towards Cheng Li’s house, occasionally greeting people they met on the way.

The Cheng Family lived at the east end of the village. A few years ago, Cheng Li’s parents had an accident and passed away, leaving only Mrs. Cheng and her daughter Cheng Li in the house.

When the three arrived at the Cheng Family’s house, Mrs. Cheng was making breakfast, while Cheng Li was still sleeping soundly in her room. Despite not having a father, Cheng Li’s life was rather pleasant. Being the only daughter, Mrs. Cheng treated her with all her heart.

Especially after Mr. Cheng passed away, she feared Cheng Li would suffer any grievance, raising her like a princess.

Cheng Ying also knew that Cheng Li was unlikely to be up this early. So as soon as she entered the Cheng Family home, she headed straight for the kitchen.

Upon entering the kitchen, she indeed saw Mrs. Cheng making breakfast, so she called out, "Auntie, making breakfast?"

"Yingzi, why are you back?" Mrs. Cheng looked surprised to see Cheng Ying. It was a workday, so why was she back at this hour?

"Auntie, I’m here to see Xiao Li for something. Is she home?"

"Yes, she’s asleep in her room." After speaking, Mrs. Cheng put down what she was doing and planned to call Cheng Li up.

However, when she left the kitchen and saw Jiang Xue, her expression changed immediately, and she pointed at her, cursing, "You wretched girl, what are you doing here at my house?"

"You think I want to be here?" Jiang Xue coldly looked at Mrs. Cheng, as if coming to her house was something special. If Cheng Li hadn’t taken her letter, she wouldn’t be there even if begged.

"If you don’t want to, then why are you here? Get out, get out of my house!" Mrs. Cheng shouted loudly and reached for a piece of firewood on the ground, intending to hit Jiang Xue with it.
