Chapter 34 Perjury

"I'll listen to you." Seeing the light in Scarface's eyes, Shen Wan sighed slightly, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have gone to the kitchen to see how the medicine was boiling."

"Actually, I'm just worrying about nothing. What does this have to do with me?"

"I spent a lot of money and effort along the way, but in the end, not only did I not get any benefit, but I was even suspected of being a thief!"

Seeing how smart she was, Xie Mubai let out a faint smile.

He likes to deal with smart people, especially those who are quick to learn like this ugly woman.

"Sir, this woman is lying!" the prisoner said anxiously, "She went to the kitchen to steal food!"

"If you don't believe me, look! The evidence is right here on the table!"

Scarface glanced at the table and saw two bowls of fragrant beef noodles and a plate of vegetarian dishes on it.

His face darkened and he slapped her in the face.

"Nonsense!" He cursed with a gloomy face. "There was no beef in the kitchen of the post station. How did she steal it?"

"Are you tired of living? Why are you playing tricks on me?"

Scarface didn't want to delve into it, but the couple obviously didn't intend to let it go easily.

There's nothing we can do about it, since this ugly girl is the hottie in Hu Dahai's eyes.

After one slap, the prisoner's face felt a burning pain.

He covered his swollen face, but still said with a stiff upper lip: "Even if this ugly woman didn't steal anything, the injuries on my body were definitely caused by her!"

He was beaten for nothing, and he couldn't swallow this humiliation.

"Why would my wife hit you for no reason?" Xie Mubai asked coldly.

The prisoner hesitated for a long time but didn't know how to answer.

Scarface cursed angrily, "Damn it! How dare you frame a good person!"

In a rage, he took out a whip from his waist.

"He didn't make a false accusation. I saw it with my own eyes. It was this woman who beat him!"

Suddenly, a soft voice came from outside the door.

Following the sound, I saw Erbao standing at the door.

Qian's death dealt him a heavy blow. In less than a day, his round little face quickly became sunken and his complexion became terrifyingly pale.

At first glance, he looks like a little devil that just crawled out of a grave.

"Children shouldn't lie!" Seeing that he was so pitiful, Scarface's voice softened a little.

Erbao shook his little head and said in a baby voice, "I didn't lie!"

"I was so hungry that I went to the kitchen to find something to eat. As soon as I got close, I saw this woman beating someone."

The prisoner's eyes lit up.

After hearing this, Shen Wan burst out laughing.

Although she was framed, she still felt sympathy for Erbao, who became an orphan at a young age.

She walked forward, bent down, and smiled at the dirty little cute kid in front of her: "Erbao, did you see me beating people?"

Erbao made a stern face and nodded vigorously.

He saw nothing.

But in order to avenge his mother, he had to lie!

Shen Wan couldn't help but smile cunningly, which reminded Erbao of the cunning little fox in the story.

Although he was a little scared, he still puffed out his little chest and tried to stay calm.

Shen Wan smiled and asked, "Then let me ask you, did I hit him with a fire stick or a rolling pin?"

The prisoner was about to interrupt when he saw Xie Mubai staring at him fiercely.

That cold gaze made him feel uneasy.

Erbao blinked his big eyes and thought about it seriously.

Both things are available in the kitchen, but a rolling pin is still needed. This ugly girl is new here and not familiar with the place, so a fire poker would probably be more convenient.

"Fire stick!" he said with certainty.

After hearing this, Shen Wan's smile became even brighter.

"Erbao, if you want to frame someone, it's best to do it without revealing anything." Xie Mubai said coldly with a gloomy face.

Upon hearing this, Erbao immediately retorted, "I didn't wrong her!"

"You'd better go back." Scarface said impatiently, "Since you are young, I won't bother with you."

"If you do that again, I'll spank you!"

Erbao still said unwillingly: "I didn't lie!"

"Then do you dare to swear by your mother?" Seeing that he was still quibbling, Scarface became annoyed.

Erbao’s face turned pale.

He doesn't dare.

Mothers are for loving, not for swearing by.

If his mother still can't rest in peace in the afterlife, he will never be at peace in his life.

"Erbao." Xie Mubai sighed slightly and said earnestly, "A fist injury is a compression injury, while a stick injury leaves a linear injury, which is easy to distinguish."

Erbao has never been beaten by anyone, so he naturally doesn't understand the difference.

But he knew clearly that his lies had been discovered by them.

"Do you want to avenge your mother?" Shen Wan asked.

Erbao didn't deny it and nodded vigorously.

His mother was killed by these two men, and he wanted to avenge her.

"You saw what happened that day, didn't you?" Shen Wan sneered and asked, "If your mother succeeded in poisoning and really killed your fifth uncle, would you avenge your fifth uncle?"

How can my uncle compare to my mother?

Erbao didn't want to lie anymore and shook his head seriously.

Shen Wan put away the smile on her face and asked seriously: "Your mother's life is precious, so your fifth uncle and others' lives are worthless?"

"You feel sorry for your mother, but I also feel sorry for your fifth uncle. I won't allow anyone to hurt him, including you!"

Erbao was silent.

Although he was young, he vaguely knew one thing, that is, other people's lives are also important.

This was something his mother never taught him.

"You'd better stop doing these little tricks in the future." Shen Wan frowned slightly, with a strong chill between the lines. "People will eventually pay the price for doing wrong things, and your mother is no exception."

"If your mother knew about this, I believe she would want you to be an upright person."

These words are too profound, and Erbao's little head cannot understand them.

"Damn it, just as vicious as his mother!" Scarface was really angry. "Come here, drag this kid away and give him twenty lashes!"

I had felt sorry for him because he had just lost his mother and was quite tolerant of the child, but I didn't expect him to be so hateful.

Upon hearing this, Xie Mubai's expression suddenly changed.

Erbao is still young, and he certainly won’t be able to withstand twenty lashes.

"Forget it." He stopped immediately, "After all, he is still a child."

Qian just died, Erbao must be very sad.

If it weren't for the hatred supporting him, he doubted that this little person would not be able to hold on, just like himself now.

Scarface heard this and yelled at Erbao angrily, "Get out of here!"

Erbao stared at Xie Mubai for a while before he straightened his short legs and left.

After Erbao left, Scarface turned his attention to the prisoner.

The prisoner's face turned pale, and he shook his head in fear: "My injury was not caused by Miss Shen Er, I fell down myself."

"Yes, I fell down by myself!"

"I was confused in my sleep just now and said something nonsense!"

I wanted to vent my anger on this ugly woman, but it backfired.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have gone to Scarface to complain.
