Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

“I-I ran down your big auntie… and she bled a lot! It seems that she died!” Liu Yan blurted out, the watch in her hands falling to the floor.

Pei Shishi was also shocked by her mother’s words.
Taking a deep breath, she looked at the watch on the floor and her mother who was having a mental breakdown.

“Mom, calm down! Calm down! You need to calm down a bit!” She grabbed her mother’s arms and shouted.

The older woman calmed down at her daughter’s shout.

“Mom, when did you run down big auntie? Was there anyone around at that time?” her daughter asked hurriedly.

“I-I heard your cousin threatening you, so I drove to look for your big auntie.
I wanted to take the watch from her before that lass got home.” She slowly recounted the incident, but the more she spoke, the ghastlier her expression was.

“For whatever reason, when I saw your big auntie, I stepped on the gas to run her down… I also don’t know why… I did that…”

She pursed her lips tightly, her head a total mess.

“Then… she started bleeding a lot; My original intention for getting out of the car was to check on her condition, but when I saw the watch on her wrist, I only took it…”

Once her mother finished telling her about it, Pei Shishi was silent for a moment before she spoke, “…Mom, you shouldn’t have done that.
Although their neighborhood is old, there are still CCTVs installed around.”

Deep down, she knew that her mother would likely be suspected.

“Good daughter, as long as you and your father are all right, it doesn’t matter if I’m arrested! Anyway, we now have evidence that your cousin threatened you with.
That is enough.”

The older woman finally recovered from her shock.

She seemed to have thought things through and smiled in the end.

“Mom…”

Seeing her mother like this, a lump came into Pei Shishi’s throat as warmth gushed in her heart like a dam.

“Silly child, as long as my family is fine, it doesn’t matter what happens to mom.”

Her mother grinned at her.
There was no more fear in her eyes.

“Mom, rest assured; I’ll make sure that you don’t go to jail! I’ll definitely save you!” Taking a deep breath, she promised her mother this.

“Shishi, don’t worry about me.
I’m okay with anything, as long as you’re fine.”

Amid this mother-daughter pair’s talk upstairs, they heard the housekeeper make a ruckus downstairs.

“Who are you people? Madam! The police are looking for you!”

Hearing the shouts coming from downstairs, the two on the second floor showed an ugly expression on their faces.

“Madam?”

When there was no response from Liu Yan, the housekeeper downstairs called out again.

Only at this time did the mother-daughter pair return to themselves.

“Mom, go wash the blood in your hands right now! Later, when you go down, don’t ever admit that you drove to Pei Ge’s neighborhood! Even if the police have evidence, you should never admit!”

As she said that, Pei Shishi pushed her mother into the bathroom; she then tidied up her hair and clothes and headed downstairs.

Despite her ankle being injured, every movement of hers remained elegant and composed.

“What’s going on for you to make a din like this?”

She appeared as if she were awoken from her sleep by the housekeeper’s shouts and walked down in displeasure.

Hearing her mistress’s complaint, the housekeeper, who had gotten frightened by the police’s sudden appearance, quickly found her confidence again.

“M-Miss, these two police officers said that they need to discuss something with your mother.”

“Ah? Police?”

Pei Shishi showed perplexity at the housekeeper’s words and gazed at the police officers with eyes filled with confusion.

“You are the police?”

She raised a brow at the two men in plain clothes standing in the living room.

Her expression suggested that she had no idea why the police were in her house as she shot them a confused look.

“That is right, miss.”

As they confirmed this, the two showed their IDs.

“It’s already late; what brings you two officers here?”

She blinked and showed no signs of panic as she looked in surprise at the police.

“Miss, we are here to ask your mother some questions.”

The two nodded and explained seriously.

“Your mother is under the suspicion of attempting to murder Zhang Manhua, so we are obligated to bring her in for questioning.”

“What? How could that be?! My mom is usually on good terms with my aunt.
It’s impossible for her to kill my aunt!” At police’s words, she shook her head resolutely.

“I’m sorry, but even if your mother didn’t do that, we’re still duty-bound to bring her in for questioning.
That’s why we’d like to ask you where your mother is.
Can you please call her down to make a trip to the police station?”

She panicked when the police said that.

“D-Do you have evidence for claiming that my mother is a suspect? If you don’t have, you can’t bring her with you!”

She stared fiercely at the two police officers, albeit her words did not make sense.

“Cough! Miss, we do have evidence.
From the security footage, the vehicle used to run down your aunt belongs to your family.”

“A car doesn’t say much! Someone else could’ve driven our family’s car to commit that crime…”

Just as she was being unreasonable with the police, a commotion was heard at the entrance to the house.

“Xiao He, why wasn’t the house door locked?! What would happen if thieves were to—”

Before the person could finish asking that, it was interrupted by the housekeeper.

“Master, it’s not my fault; I didn’t close the door because the police came over.”

“Dad?!”

She was stunned to see her father return home so early.

Meanwhile, Pei Zhenghui was equally surprised to see two unexpected guests in their house.

“Police?!”
