Chapter 568: The Fake Buddha Statue

Mrs. Hong whispered to Rong Qi, “Madam, that’s Ms. Liang, Liang Silai, Master Shen’s uncle’s second wife.”

‘Ms. Liang? Since Ye Shaochen and Ye Shaoxian weren’t married yet, that left only Ye Nanshen’s uncle. That makes sense.’ Rong Qi thought.

Rong Qi finally figured out who Liang Silai was. Liang Silai was Ye Nanshen’s uncle’s mistress.

Rong Qi raised an eyebrow, looking at Mr. Liu with a playful gaze before turning to Mr. Liang, saying, “The matter isn’t settled yet, so of course I had to wake up on time.”

Rong Qi’s lips curved into a smile, her eyes crinkling with amusement. She added, “Mr. Liang looks so young, gentle, and beautiful. Standing next to Ms. Liu, one might mistake you for her daughter! No wonder uncle is so fond of you, always wanting you by his side.”

As Rong Qi spoke, Liang Silai’s face turned red, and she turned to look at Ms. Liu. Sure enough, Ms. Liu’s face had darkened and her fingers tightened slightly.

Ever since Liang Silai married into the Ye household, she had always kept a low profile, especially since she had no children. Ms. Liu was already in her fifties, naturally unable to compare with Liang Silai in her thirties. Coincidentally, what Ms. Liu hated most was people remarking on her age.

Rong Qi’s words, seemingly complimentary, were actually placing Ms. Liu on the hot seat. Ms. Liu clenched her teeth, unable to hide the jealousy and hatred in her eyes.

Old Master Ye coughed, looking at Rong Qi, and said, “Your grievances have been avenged by your husband. What else is there that you haven’t dealt with? Don’t you see the chaos here? Why haven’t you left?”

Rong Qi smiled, “The issue started over a Buddha statue, and it hasn’t been resolved yet.”

“What do you mean?” Old Master Ye asked as he squinted his eyes.

Rong Qi walked over, glanced at the Buddha statue on the ground, and turned to Mrs. Ye Sr., asking, “You said this statue came from Cloudsurt Temple? And breaking it is bad luck?”

Mrs. Ye Sr.’s eyes flickered, and she huffed, “Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made such a fuss.”

“Heh, a real Buddha statue breaking might be bad luck, but what if it’s a fake? Using a fake to deceive people, aren’t you afraid of the Buddha punishing you for blasphemy?”

“Wh-what nonsense are you talking about? What fake?” Mrs. Ye Sr. asked.

Rong Qi smiled, repeating, “I said this Buddha statue is fake. Could it be you deliberately set this up to frame me for breaking it?”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Mrs. Ye Sr. looked unsettled.

Rong Qi continued, “As far as I know, the Buddha statues from Cloudsurt Temple are all made of Aventurine, with alluring color and special optical phenomena. But this broken statue on the ground is made of ordinary jade, crudely crafted, nothing like the ones from Cloudsurt Temple by Master Zenith. Ma’am, using a fake to deceive others, aren’t you afraid of divine retribution?”

“You’re just trying to clear Hong Yu’s name. This Buddha statue is definitely from Cloudsurt Temple. You’re just a naive girl, stop spouting nonsense!” Mrs. Ye Sr. said.

However, before Mrs. Ye Sr. could finish, Rong Qi pulled out a small jade Buddha from her person, clear and sparkling, with bright spots on it.

“Unfortunately, I happen to have a small Guanyin token from Cloudsurt Temple right here,” said Rong Qi. She placed her small Guanyin token next to the broken statue, instantly highlighting the difference in quality.

Mrs. Ye Sr.’s face changed, her eyes darting away.

Rong Qi took back her small Guanyin token, looking straight at Mrs. Ye Sr., her smile freezing slightly, and said, “Ma’am, you exaggerated the significance of a fake Buddha statue to frame me and Mrs. Hong.. May I ask, what are your intentions?”
