Chapter 590: Death as Proof

They burst into laughter, completely unaware of how vicious their laughter was.

"Hmph, a bitch like you, even a thousand deaths wouldn't be enough to atone for the sins you've committed!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Du said in a trembling voice, "Alright, then I'll die in front of you. I can swear on the lives of my entire family that I have never framed Miss Zhou. If I lie, I will be struck by lightning, my appearance will be completely destroyed, and I will go to the eighteen levels of hell after I die!"

Before everyone could react, they saw a determined figure crashing into the wall.

"Bang!"

Xiao Cui screamed miserably, "Miss!"

She hurried to the wall and helped Miss Du up. Seeing that Miss Du's eyes were closed, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

The whole place was silent, everyone looked at the scene in disbelief. They actually...really forced Miss Du to death?

Blood slowly flowed from Miss Du's forehead, winding down, extremely eye-catching.

She lay in Xiao Cui's arms, and said with her dying breath: "I hope... you can fulfill your promise... and clear my name..."

After he finished speaking, he fainted.

Xiao Cui couldn't stop crying: "Doctor, go find a doctor quickly——"

Seeing the opportunity had arrived, Hu Xin'er stumbled a few steps, turned around, and angrily questioned everyone, "You forced Miss Du to commit suicide to prove her innocence. Are you satisfied now?"

"Who, who knows whether it is real death or fake death..." someone muttered in a low voice.

"It's just a small thing, is it necessary to commit suicide? Besides, it's not us who made her bang her head against the wall." Someone suddenly said loudly.

Many people nodded silently. They were still in shock, but subconsciously wanted to shirk responsibility.

Hu Xin'er sneered, "You grown men are forcing a weak woman like Miss Du into submission. You've already ruined her reputation, preventing her from getting married, and now you're pointing fingers at her and hurling obscenities at her. Aren't you just forcing her to death?"

"How can you say that?" Everyone tried to argue.

Hu Xin'er cursed directly: "Do you still have any conscience? Don't you have a mother or sisters?"

She spat fiercely, "If someone were to slander or even insult your female relatives without any evidence, would there be any other recourse except death to prove their innocence?"

"This...this..." The leader was just arrogant and swearing, but now he could no longer withstand Hu Xiner's questioning.

Someone at the end of the crowd muttered, "How can you say we're slandering her? Miss Zhou's reputation... who else would do such a thing besides Miss Du?"

"She wants to die on her own, what does it have to do with us?"

"Maybe he's feeling guilty..."

Hu Xiner was almost amused by the shameless faces of this group of people. They had been used as tools by others from the beginning to the end, but when they really killed others, they didn't even have the slightest bit of reflection.

She looked at the group of hideous men as if they were some alien species, and none of them dared to look her in the eye.

She chuckled sarcastically and asked, "Ms. Du has already sworn such a vicious oath. What exactly do you want in exchange for believing her?"

"Do you dare to swear an oath that if you slander Miss Du, your entire family will die miserably? Do you dare?"

"If you still have any conscience, you should get out of the way now and go find a doctor!"

The tears on Xiao Cui's face had dried, and she suddenly screamed, "I want these people to pay for our young lady's life."

She drew the soft sword from her waist and stabbed it towards the door with a swish.

No one dared to fight back and fled in all directions.

Amid the hurried footsteps, some people didn't even bother to pick up their shoes that had been stepped on, while others were in a trance and were pushed aside.

After running a few steps, a scholar in blue clothes was knocked to the ground. He stared blankly at his fallen shoes, then stretched out his hands. Thinking that he had just killed someone, he couldn't help but burst into tears: "How...how could this happen...Miss Du, did I really misunderstand you?"

A piece of green clothing appeared before my eyes, and it was Xiao Cui who said with a murderous look on her face: "Now you know you are wrong? It's too late. I want you to pay for our young lady's life!"

Hu Xin'er hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "Xiao Cui, calm down. Actually..."

Before he finished speaking, the scholar, not knowing what he was thinking, suddenly hugged Xiao Cui's thighs and said with tears in his eyes, "It's all my fault. I killed Miss Du. Xiao Cui, please kill me. I am willing to be Miss Du's live-in husband and fulfill her lifelong regret."

Hu Xiner was confused. What kind of train of thought was this?

Even Mu Qing couldn't help but hold his forehead: "This scholar has a beautiful idea."

Xiao Cui was originally ready to chop off his head with a sword, but at this moment the tip of the sword was shaking.

I was angry.

She kicked the scholar away and cursed, "A piece of rag-and-bone trash like you is worthy of my lady? Go take a piss and look at yourself!"

The scholar had not expected that he would escape death in such a way. He got up from the ground crying and ran away in a panic.

Hu Xiner coughed twice and said, "Xiao Cui, please come back soon. Miss Du doesn't seem to be dead yet."

She asked Mu Qingqiang to drag Xiao Cui in and quickly closed the door.

Xiao Cui said bitterly, "If she's completely dead, why would you still call me a doctor? If you delay me from saving the young lady, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

At this moment, Miss Du wiped the blood from her forehead and stood up with energy. "This trick really works. Look how scared these cowards are. Xiao Cui, get me a handkerchief to wipe my face."

Xiao Cui stood there stupidly, subconsciously groping for the handkerchief at her waist: "Miss, please don't move. What if you hurt yourself?"

Miss Du chuckled: "Silly girl, I was just pretending. What, can't you even tell the difference between human blood and chicken blood?"

She said with a hint of disdain: "Then all these years of learning Kung Fu would have been in vain."

Xiao Cui frowned slowly. She walked to Miss Du's side, dipped her hand in a little blood, and after careful identification, found that it was really chicken blood.

"So you're not injured, and you didn't actually hit the wall?" she asked uncertainly.

Miss Du nodded.

Xiao Cui threw herself into her arms and burst into tears: "Miss, you really scared me to death just now!"

Miss Du patted her back and said, "Okay, don't cry. It's my fault for not telling you about this in advance. But that's mainly because we were pressed for time and didn't have time."

She winked at Hu Xin'er and said, "Now, there shouldn't be any blind people coming over to scold me anymore, right?"

"When those cowards saw you dead, they were afraid of taking responsibility and ran away faster than anyone else." Hu Xiner sneered at the group of men.

The news that Miss Du was forced to commit suicide to prove her innocence quickly spread throughout Qingzhou City.
