Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Hearing that voice, Madam Guo was somewhat regretful for bringing in that girl Jingjing. She initially intended to use her to teach Xiaotian a lesson, but now she had to bite the bullet and coax Jingjing.

Although she knew why Jingjing had come running, Madam Guo pretended to be clueless, "Oh, Jingjing, what happened? Did someone bully you? Tell Aunt Pei."

Jingjing suddenly dove into Madam Guo’s arms with an obedient look and said in a grievance-filled tone, "Aunt Pei, Aunt Pei, Jingjing was bullied. Sister-in-law, she, she actually pushed me into the lake, and she even drugged my food. Aunt Pei, Aunt Pei, your daughter-in-law is so vicious. She is jealous of my good relationship with Brother Feng and tries to harm me like this. Aunt Pei, you must stand up for Jingjing."

At this moment, Xiaotian followed behind into the room, dropped to her knees in front of Madam Guo, and said, "Mother, it indeed was the daughter-in-law’s fault that Sister Jingjing fell into the lake. Please punish your daughter-in-law. At that time, I lost my footing and nearly fell into the lake, so I thought of grabbing something, but I didn’t realize it was Sister Jingjing that I dragged into the lake."

Xiaotian wiped a tear and continued, "But I really didn’t do it intentionally. I was in shock and didn’t know what I was grabbing. However, as for Sister Jingjing’s claim that I drugged her, that is simply not true. Sister Jingjing must have caught a chill after falling into the lake and got diarrhea from the cold water. It definitely wasn’t me who drugged her."

Although Xiaotian was crying, her eyes carried determination as she looked at Madam Guo.

At this point, Jingjing shouted, "You’re lying! The diarrhea must be because you did something to the food. It was you who made lunch."

Faced with Jingjing’s questioning, Xiaotian looked at her mother-in-law and denied, "Mother, I really didn’t. I ate lunch with Jingjing. If there was something wrong, I would have been affected too, but I am fine. It must be because she fell into the lake and caught a chill."

Seeing Xiaotian trying to defend herself like this, Jingjing was furious and quickly continued, "Aunt Pei, Aunt Pei, she definitely harmed me. You must stand up for me, boohoo."

"Mother, you must believe me. Perhaps we should get a doctor to examine Sister Jingjing; the doctor will know at a glance."

"You..."

The two continued their back-and-forth conversation like this.

Hearing this made Madam Guo and Master Guo’s heads hurt, and eventually, Master Guo spoke up, "Since that’s the case, let’s get a doctor."

Madam Guo also comforted the Jingjing girl in her arms, "Jingjing, rest assured, if your sister-in-law really did harm you, Aunt Pei will definitely get justice for you. You’ve fallen into the water and have diarrhea; let’s get a doctor to check on you first."

Jingjing felt more embarrassed than ever, infuriated, and at this moment her stomach acted up again, writhing in pain. She shot a glare at Xiaotian and ran to the lavatory.

Seeing this, Madam Guo quickly instructed a house servant to fetch the doctor.

Meanwhile, Xiaotian remained kneeling there, head down. Seeing this, Madam Guo snorted coldly, "Jingjing is a distinguished guest of the house. You must act with propriety and not bring shame to the Guo Family. In any case, you still bear the title of the young mistress of the Guo Family."

"Yes, Mother, I acknowledge my mistake."

"Alright, stand up!"

"Yes!"

Only then did Xiaotian stand up, standing neatly to the side, waiting for the doctor to arrive.
