My Kid Can Read Minds, and Now the Evil Stepmom's in My Grip

Top assassin Jiang Xueying suddenly finds herself transported into another world, becoming the infamous "evil stepmother" to two children. Jiang Xueying, who has been single her whole life,...

Chapter 27: Falsehood

Jiang Xueying really couldn't find anything to refute for a moment. These ignorant villagers only knew how to judge others by their own mean standards. Naturally, it was impossible for everyone to be as magnanimous as her.

Moreover, they just watch the fun. Who cares who pushes whom? As long as they are not from their family, it’s fine. They have no right to interfere with other people’s families.

"This matter has escalated to revenge murder. We must report it to the authorities and let them handle it!"

The person who rushed to join in the fun immediately suggested that the government should solve the problem, and the other villagers immediately started clamoring as if they were injected with chicken blood.

"Report to the authorities! We must report to the authorities. This kind of person must be severely punished. Otherwise, everyone in the village will be in danger. Who knows if there is someone behind this? Come on! Everyone, follow me and take her to the government office."

The leading man was about to come over to pull her. Jiang Xueying's face darkened and she subconsciously dodged and grabbed the man's hand and twisted it hard.

The man suddenly screamed in pain, and the villagers around who wanted to move forward were frightened by the noise and looked at her with fear in their eyes.

Jiang Xueying swiftly pushed the man back, glanced at everyone coldly, pushed away the people in front of her and planned to go home. However, she was blocked again just as she was about to leave.

"There are so many of us, don't be afraid of her. If we don't send her to the government office and punish her severely today, won't our village be full of murderers in the future? We can't let this be a precedent!"

After hearing this, everyone became excited again, and their sense of justice suddenly overflowed. They all reached out to grab Jiang Xueying, as if they were catching a bad guy, and this was exactly the result that Gu wanted.

"Yes, everyone. Today, this vicious woman just pushed me into the water. She must have jumped into the water to save me out of guilt because she saw someone coming. But if we don't pursue the matter, she might even stab someone with a knife in the future. We must not let her go easily, otherwise, who among us will dare to go out alone in the future!"

This scene happened to be seen by Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin who hurried over after hearing the news. That was all thanks to their former playmates who came to tell them that Jiang Xueying was going to be sent to the yamen by the villagers. The two children ran over without stopping.

If Jiang Xueying had done something evil before, it would be understandable. The two children would have wanted the villagers to hand her over to the authorities. However, the person in charge has been replaced now, and they simply cannot believe that the person's personality would harm others.

At this time, the two children were panting and had no time to rest. They pushed through the crowd and rushed in, trying to pull Jiang Xueying out.

But there were adults everywhere, and the two children were squeezed so hard that they couldn't breathe. Amid the pushing and shoving, someone pushed Ye Xiaojin to the ground with a slap.

When Jiang Xueying saw the figure in the crowd, her eyes suddenly widened and her expression changed.

"What are you two doing here? Get out!"

But there was so much noise all around that the two children could not hear anything. They squeezed and shoved to stand up and were pushed to the ground again. Ye Xiaoyu's palm was cut by the impact of the impact on the ground and blood was flowing out.

Jiang Xueying's eyes turned red when she saw this. She pushed away the villager who was holding her and picked up a stone from the ground and waved it.

"Get out of here, or I'll let you see if I dare to kill anyone!"

For her, killing someone is as easy as cutting radishes and cabbages. If they weren't simple villagers, she would have killed them long ago. Why would she say all this nonsense?

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. When the villagers saw her like this, they took two steps back in fear, as if a stone would hit them in the face in the next second.

Jiang Xueying released the clamps and hurried forward to help the two children up. Ye Xiaojin didn't have any serious problems, just some scrapes on his hands, but the big cuts on Ye Xiaoyu's hands were shocking to see. The child was very strong, biting his lips to stop himself from crying, which was even more heartbreaking to see.

"Xiaoyu, are you okay? Does your hand hurt?"

In this situation, she couldn't say anything. Ye Xiaoyu pursed her lips and shook her head.

Jiang Xueying quickly took off a piece of cloth from her body and wrapped her up.

During the stiff period, a sharp voice sounded behind everyone.

"What's going on?"

Seeing the village chief coming late, everyone dared not act as presumptuously as they had just done, and made way for him.

Jiang Xueying's eyes were a little red and her tone was stiff and cold.

"Village chief, I just came out of your house and heard someone shouting for help. Who knew that I came over to save the person, but she slandered me and said that I pushed her down. Now everyone is forcing me to report to the police without knowing right or wrong."

When Gu saw that it was the village chief who came, she was a little panicked, but she still pretended to be calm. No matter whether he was the village chief or someone else, she was the victim now. Since no one could prove it, as long as she insisted that it was Jiang Xueying who was behind the murder, who could refute it?

"You're talking nonsense! If you hadn't pushed me down, why would you have saved me out of a guilty conscience? There were only two of us here at the time. Did I jump down without caring about my life to slander you? The village chief won't believe your lies!"

Jiang Xueying had indeed just come out of his house, which the village chief could prove, but he had no idea what Jiang Xueying had done in the meantime.

After all, almost an hour had passed, and the village chief didn't know who to believe for a moment.

"Gu's wife, why did the Ye's wife push you into the water for no reason?"

The village chief's eyes were cloudy, but his voice was firm.

"Village head, she just can't stand me having a good life. Besides, everyone knows about our past. Jiang Xueying is a mean person to begin with, and today she even wanted to kill me. Why are you keeping her around if you don't report her to the police? Will our village still have a peaceful life in the future?"

Gu's clothes were wet and water was still dripping down. Coupled with her aggrieved and frightened look, she did look a little pitiful.

The village chief stroked his gray beard and looked at Jiang Xueying, whose clothes were also wet but whose face showed a clear conscience.

"But if the Ye family's wife really wanted you to die here, why would she risk her life to save you? You said she pushed you, did anyone see it, or did you two just have an argument here?"

The village chief asked one question after another, and Gu was overwhelmed. But if she wanted to get the money today and keep her reputation, she could only lie with gritted teeth.

"She must have been afraid of being taken to jail, so she decided to rescue me on the spur of the moment. We didn't have an argument just now. I was standing by the river and she pushed me in."

Jiang Xueying, who was standing by without saying a word, sneered. It seemed that this Gu was determined to take a bite of her today.
