Chapter 345: Chapter 346: He’s Too Worthless, There’s a Reason for the Disdain

Shi Yiqing listened to these words, her face turning green.

The person speaking, in front of her, used her own words as an example to explain the subtle language of tea, which was to say, wasn’t she just being called a scheming woman?

The key point was that many people already believed it.

Her face grew even uglier, "Stop talking nonsense here!"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion when she let out a sigh of relief and looked towards Shi Yaoguang.

"Don’t think that by doing this, you can divert the topic!"

As she spoke, she shouted loudly, "You’ve all been deceived by Shi Yaoguang, she’s intentionally trying to shift your attention!"

"Shi Yaoguang isn’t my sister at all, she’s just a stranger who took my sister’s place. Do you know why she would do this?"

The crowd: "We don’t know."

Shi Yiqing spoke with righteousness, "The reason she has taken over my sister’s identity is to gain power and influence!"

Immediately someone retorted, "For power? If I remember correctly, she was kicked out of the Shi Family quite early on, right? Having been kicked out of her family, what power is there to talk about?"

"Exactly, to speak the truth, the one who seems to be craving power and influence should be you, right?"

Mu Tiantian chimed in loudly, "You’ve occupied Yaoguang’s identity for so many years, and it was fine when we didn’t know, but even after finding out about Yaoguang’s true identity, you still refuse to step aside. Everyone knows what’s in your heart, okay? Don’t think you can convince us you didn’t do it on purpose with just a few words."

"If you really didn’t care about any of these, you could leave the Shi Family, or go make a property declaration! If you dare, then we will all believe you! I, Mu Tiantian, lay my words here today—if you dare to break away from the Shi Family immediately and give up everything the Shi Family can offer you, I’ll stand by your side unconditionally!"

Others joined in the jeering, "We feel the same as Mu Tiantian!"

Shi Yiqing’s face turned black.

Shi Yiqing’s face turned green.

Shi Yaoguang’s face turned white.

After a series of changes like a color palette, she finally found her voice again, "When I said she wanted power, it wasn’t the Shi Family’s! As an imposter, she didn’t dare to have too much contact with the Shi Family members! If it weren’t for this, she wouldn’t have intentionally angered mom and dad and got herself thrown out."

Although...

But...

There was some truth to her words.

If what Shi Yiqing was saying was true, that Shi Yaoguang intentionally angered the Shi Family and got herself thrown out.

In that case, she would indeed avoid having relations with people connected to the Shi Family.

She had only been brought back recently, and those who were more familiar with her were the Shi Family members.

If the Shi Family members couldn’t detect anything wrong with her, then naturally, others wouldn’t notice either.

With this thought, the crowd started to understand.

There’s something fishy!

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Shi Yiqing knew that her words had taken effect.

She continued to persist, "I hope everyone will believe what I say, it’s all true."

"At first, my relationship with my sister was very good, but it deteriorated drastically later on, all because of her deliberate sabotage!"

"If it wasn’t for her meddling, our relationship would never have become what it is now..."

"If you don’t believe me, I can prove it to everyone."

"Prove?" Someone looked at her skeptically, "How are you going to prove it?"

Shi Yiqing said, "Of course it is to prove it with facts!"

"You say she impersonated my sister’s identity but was immediately kicked out of the Shi family, not getting any benefits at all, which is actually what you think."

"However, it’s not really like that."

Her tone was full of sadness when she spoke these words.

"Actually, this is all my fault, I was careless for a moment and fell for her tricks."

At this, she began to sob softly, looking so pitiful like a pear flower bathed in rain, inevitably arousing people’s sympathy.

Some people were already wavering at the scene.

Shi Yiqing had explained it so clearly that she must be innocent.

If there was a problem, it definitely lay with Shi Yaoguang.

Shi Yiqing, seeing the moved expressions of the crowd, immediately continued, "I know, because of my behavior before, you all have some concerns about me, I can understand that, and I know I did wrong, but..."

"I was also very angry at the time; if it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have made such a mess with my sister."

She said, then sighed deeply, "At the start of the school term, people doubted me because of the engagement our families had agreed on and even questioned my character."

"I don’t want to explain whether I am of bad character or not, but... I still want to say in my defense, I really am trying to change for the better."

Listening to her saying these empty words, someone grew impatient, "What’s the use of saying all this?"

"Even if Shi Yaoguang did something wrong, the biggest mistake is still with you!"

"If you hadn’t seduced Quan Sicheng and got together with him first, Shi Yaoguang wouldn’t have done what she did afterward, right?"

Shi Yiqing pursed her lips, "This is where everyone has misunderstood me."

"I also only found out not long ago... my sister," she said, her face mournful and aggrieved, "she disappeared just the day before the engagement."

"At the engagement banquet, when the time came, my sister still hadn’t appeared, and we were all very worried."

"But there was no choice; time was pressing, and we had to complete the engagement process, so I had to step in for my sister and go through the ceremony with the fourth young master Quan, but then..." Shi Yiqing paused for a second, pointing at Shi Yaoguang and said, "That was when she appeared!"

"At that time, I didn’t think in other directions and didn’t know it was my sister’s intention; I even felt very guilty, thinking it was my own fault that made her so upset..."

Shi Yiqing described the scene at the engagement banquet tearfully, "My sister... no, this fake, she came up and slapped my face as soon as she arrived. At that moment, I was stunned and didn’t notice anything different about her. If I had realized earlier, maybe I could have saved her from misery sooner."

"But no matter, it’s still not too late to find out now."

Shi Yiqing pointed at Shi Yaoguang, "Impostor, tell me, where exactly is my sister!"

Shi Yaoguang took a moment to clean her ears, with a look of disgust on her face, "Is that all?"

Shi Yiqing was startled, "Huh?"

Reacting subconsciously, she was met with Shi Yaoguang’s disdain again, "I mean... have you finished your performance?"

Shi Yiqing kept a straight face, "I’m not performing!"

Shi Yaoguang waved her hand dismissively, "If you say there’s no performance, then there’s no performance. I don’t care about that. Since you’ve finished your performance, I will unapologetically take the next turn, okay?"

Shi Yiqing: "..."

God damn unapologetically taking over.

Who is unapologetic to her?

Shi Yaoguang, however, seemed completely unaware of her displeasure, showing her a smile, "Let’s talk about how I supposedly impersonated you, shall we?"

Shi Yiqing was somewhat skeptical, clearly not believing that Shi Yaoguang would be so cooperative.
