Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 477: Let Someone Else Take the Fall_1

They were far away and hadn’t listened carefully to what the two were saying, so they just described what they saw.

Lin Zhenyu said, "Ji Yunhuan had Aunt Liu hit me. If it weren’t for her, her servant wouldn’t have dared to do it."

Qi Cheng said, "It’s obvious that you went to find Yunhuan on your own, didn’t you?"

"All in one family. Is it wrong for us to chat with her?" Lin Zhenyu said righteously, "Even Grandpa wouldn’t think there’s a problem with that, right?"

Qi Cheng wanted to say something, but Grandpa interrupted him, "You weren’t there, Qi Cheng. I only want to hear from Ji Yunhuan herself."

Qi Cheng still wanted to speak, but Qi Ling signaled him with his eyes not to rush to Ji Yunhuan’s defense. It would make Grandpa think Qi Cheng was shielding Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan understood Qi Ling’s message and squeezed Qi Cheng’s hand secretly, reminding him not to argue with Grandpa.

If they enraged Grandpa, both she and Qi Cheng would suffer.

Qi Cheng quickly understood what Ji Yunhuan meant. So, she wanted to handle it herself?

He wanted to protect her, but he also wanted to respect her.

Ji Yunhuan took the initiative to say to Grandpa, "Today’s incident was indeed my fault."

Originally expecting her to argue, Lin Zhenyu looked at her in surprise.

Hearing what she said, Grandpa also stared at her.

Ji Yunhuan explained, "Although Madam Zhou took the first swing at Aunt Liu and angered her, I should have stopped Aunt Liu and prevented her from retaliating against Madam Zhou. Things turned out this way. Half of it is my responsibility for not managing my household servants properly. I caused trouble for Grandpa. Therefore, I am willing to apologize. I’m sorry, Madam Zhou."

Even though her apology was so sincere, Lin Zhenyu was not at all appeased.

Because Ji Yunhuan was just talking nonsense.

With Aunt Liu’s character, if not for Ji Yunhuan’s insistence, she wouldn’t have dared to hit her. Ji Yunhuan was now pushing all the blame onto Aunt Liu to absolve herself.

Lin Zhenyu angrily said, "You were clearly the one who had the servant hit me, and now you are blaming your servant. Ji Yunhuan, you are shameless."

Ji Yunhuan innocently said, "I can’t accept that. I scolded Aunt Liu for a long time after returning. Not managing my people properly was my mistake. She was audacious enough to offend Madam Zhou. I have decided to fire her."

"You are just confusing everyone!" Lin Zhenyu was furious, as she didn’t want Ji Yunhuan to brush things off with just an apology. She said, "Bring out that servant of yours!"

She knew Aunt Liu acted under Ji Yunhuan’s orders. When Aunt Liu appeared, the truth would come out. Then, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t argue her way out.

Ji Yunhuan cooperated, "Then bring her here! Even in front of her, I will say the same."

Aunt Liu was quickly brought over.

Lin Zhenyu had no appetite.

After Aunt Liu arrived, Grandpa asked, "I heard you hit Ms. Lin today?"

Grandpa’s presence was intimidating. Aunt Liu had never met him in person. Nobody in front of Grandpa would dare to lie.

Luckily, they didn’t need Aunt Liu to lie.

Aunt Liu nodded, "Yes."

"You’re just a servant. How dare you hit the young lady of the Lin Family?"

Aunt Liu lowered her head, "She insulted my Lady first. I was just doing my duty as a servant, standing up for my Lady. Who knew Ms. Lin would hit me without reason? I was very frustrated and acted impulsively... Mr. Qi, I was just following orders. Please stand up for me!"

Aunt Liu looked at Qi Cheng.

Qi Cheng looked at Lin Zhenyu, "Madam Zhou, what do you have to say about this?"

Lin Xiang stood up to testify for her sister, "This matter was clearly Ji Yunhuan’s doing. Grandpa, don’t be deceived by Ji Yunhuan. She is a liar!"

In that situation, it was understandable that Ji Yunhuan didn’t act herself. She had thought this far ahead from the beginning!

One had to admit that this woman was very scheming. At that moment, she had already considered the long term.

"Who saw me hit your sister?" Facing Lin Xiang’s accusations, Ji Yunhuan’s expression turned cold, "I have already apologized and taken responsibility. Yet, you keep throwing mud at me. I know you are guests of the Qi Family. Grandpa will naturally protect you both. But there’s no need to slander me like this! Aunt Liu did it all for me. Firing her is already excessive. What more do you want?"

Grandpa observed Ji Yunhuan’s reaction.

No sooner had Ji Yunhuan finished speaking than Aunt Liu’s eyes widened in surprise, "My Lady, I did this for you. Even if I did wrong, please don’t let me lose my job! I rely on this job to eat!"

Aunt Liu cried miserably. Ji Yunhuan thought Aunt Liu’s performance was excellent. Ji Yunhuan had told her beforehand that only by doing this would it seem genuine and make everyone believe it was a punishment.

Lin Zhenyu said to Aunt Liu, "If you don’t want to lose your job, don’t take the blame. Just tell the truth..."

"Madam Zhou!" Ji Yunhuan coldly interrupted Lin Zhenyu, "Or should I call you Ms. Lin? Are you still throwing mud at me?"

"What do you mean by throwing mud? I just want her to tell the truth! What, are you feeling guilty?" Lin Zhenyu swept a triumphant glance at Ji Yunhuan, satisfied to see her so nervous.

In Lin Zhenyu’s view, Aunt Liu was the key. She said, "Aunt Liu, look. She doesn’t care about you. Why take this blame for her?"

"You..."

"Enough!" Ji Yunhuan wanted to speak, but Grandpa suddenly cut in, "That’s it for this matter. Since Aunt Liu did it, fire Aunt Liu!"

Hearing Grandpa say this, Ji Yunhuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt Liu started crying beside her. She did not want to lose this job, "Sir, my Lady..."

"Take her away," Grandpa ordered.

Lin Zhenyu glanced at Ji Yunhuan, unwilling to let it go. Grandpa’s stern expression stopped her from continuing the topic.

She unwillingly sat down, fists clenched. Damn it, she had taken that slap for nothing.

Ji Yunhuan, however, calmly said to Grandpa, "Thank you, Grandpa, for being so fair and just."

Grandpa looked at her. It wasn’t that he was fair; it was that he knew Qi Cheng would argue with him if he pursued the matter further.

He had given an explanation to Lin Zhenyu, and that was enough.

After dinner, Lin Zhenyu stormed off, with Lin Xiang following behind her, "Second Sister."

"Don’t worry about me!" Lin Zhenyu was fuming.
