Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 269

Old Mrs. Lu accused Lu Ting and Sheng Fei by scolding them, while Xu Yuxia at the side wore a lecturing expression. She shook her head and looked at Sheng Fei.

“I say, Lu Ting and Sheng Fei, it’s not that mom is blaming you two. It’s one thing for you to be out earning money. After all, Lu Ting is a man, but what about you, Sheng Fei? You’re at home all day fiddling around. You could have done some work yourself, but instead you made Sanya do it. Now look, Sanya has gone missing. I really don’t understand what’s in your head.

I see you as a stepmother who doesn’t care about Sanya at all. If Sanya doesn’t come back, just wait and see how worried to death our parents will be.”

Xu Yuxia and Old Mrs. Lu took turns criticizing Sheng Fei, while Lu Ting watched his mother and sister-in-law.

“Mom, dad, sister-in-law, please stop saying these things about her. It’s all my fault.

It’s my failure to fulfill my responsibilities as an uncle that made Sanya going missing. Besides, Sheng Fei has already done so much. We can’t blame Sheng Fei for Sanya’s disappearance.

What’s more, taking care of five kids can overwhelm even a biological mother. How can you put all the blame on Sheng Fei?”

“If not her, then who? My grandchild is missing. Isn’t it all Sheng Fei’s fault?

I’m telling you, Sheng Fei, it’s definitely because you didn’t take care of her properly. How can you still have the face to shift the blame? Sheng Fei, why haven’t you left yet? Just seeing you irritates me. Let me tell you, if my granddaughter isn’t found, I won’t let this go.”

Old Mrs. Lu scolded harshly and pointed a finger at Sheng Fei’s nose.

Sheng Fei said and had done so much, but so what?

No matter how much Sheng Fei had done, it was clear she hadn’t taken proper care of the child, which led to this mistake. Sheng Fei stood there, expression uncertain, replaying the details in her mind.

She had already asked Lu Er and many villagers about those details, which suddenly sparked a thought in Sheng Fei’s mind.

But what was that thought? Under Old Mrs. Lu’s scolding, it slipped from her memory.

Sheng Fei’s face darkened, and she felt anger rising within her.

Old Mrs. Lu and Xu Yuxia had always acted as if it didn’t concern them.

When her grandsons Jixiang and Ruyi had an accident, they were so anxious. But when Lu Sanya got into trouble, Old Mrs. Lu was surprisingly the first to lash out at her. Now, searching for the granddaughter was just a hindrance.

“Enough. You all shut up.”

Sheng Fei looked at Old Mrs. Lu and furrowed her brows deeply, clearly fed up with her. This old lady was always like this.

“You dare yell at me? If it weren’t for your mistake, how would Lu Sanya go missing?”

“Mom, is Sanya really missing? Have you not seen her? Why did I just hear Aunt Zhang say that the last person to see Lu Sanya was you? She saw you with Sanya, and it seemed you were holding her hand. Why don’t you just admit it? The last person Sanya saw must be you.

Don’t deny it or make excuses because Aunt Zhang clearly saw you with Sanya.”

“What are you talking about? I didn’t see Lu San Ya at all.”

Old Mrs. Lu’s heart skipped a beat. She instinctively denied it.

But the guilt in her eyes was evident to Lu Ting and Sheng Fei.
