Chapter 255

The couple had just finished their mutual bowing ceremony when someone interrupted them, causing an uproar at the scene.

"Who dares to cause trouble here? They're asking for death!" Old Master Shen roared in fury.

The sound, amplified by internal energy, reverberated throughout the entire plaza, even causing those with weak martial arts skills to experience a surge of blood and qi.

Old Master Shen pressed hard on the edge of the table, which was shaking incessantly, as if it would explode into wood chips and vanish into thin air at any moment.

The entire room was completely silent.

"It's me!"

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and saw a middle-aged man with a scar on his face walk out from the crowd.

It's the scarred man who yelled at Cheng Xiaoman at Juxianlou that day!

Rong Rong recognized the other person instantly.

As soon as the scarred man appeared, the disciples of Lingyun Manor rushed towards him like a whirlwind, ready to take him down.

The scarred man was not afraid at all. Several figures immediately flew out from behind him and blocked the disciples of Lingyun Manor for him.

The two groups of people started fighting.

The scarred man shouted, "Cheng Xiaoman appears to be a chivalrous hero, earning a great reputation, but secretly he killed my wife and children. I just want everyone to know the truth!"

The scarred man's face was full of resentment, and his voice echoed throughout the square, immediately sparking a flurry of discussion among the crowd.

Unlike Juxianlou, this place has many reputable and upright families who are not afraid of the power of Lingyun Manor and love to uphold justice.

This also meant that people no longer overwhelmingly supported Lingyun Manor and Cheng Xiaoman, and the scarred man had the opportunity to tell his story.

He quickly recounted what had happened, and then roared, "I'm not blaming Cheng Xiaoman for the deaths of my wife and children! I just don't want to see her gain a good reputation through deception!"

"Brother, don't blame me! I blame you! My sister was killed by Cheng Xiaoman! My sister was still alive when she was buried by her! She even said she was burying her out of kindness because she felt sorry for her!"

"And me too! My leg was crippled because of her. I borrowed money from Young Master Luo for treatment, but she withheld it, causing me to delay treatment and have to have my leg amputated!"

"Me too!"

......

The group of people who helped the scarred man stop the disciples of Lingyun Manor shouted angrily and vehemently as they fought.

They were all people who were directly or indirectly harmed by Cheng Xiaoman. Originally, after learning that Cheng Xiaoman had married into Lingyun Manor, they were prepared to swallow their hatred.

As a result, someone approached them, saying they would help them seek justice. That person had considerable power behind them and was not afraid of Lingyun Manor.

Without hesitation, they rushed over immediately.

The group quickly listed Cheng Xiaoman's various misdeeds.

Old Master Shen's face grew increasingly dark, while Shen's parents had solemn expressions and furrowed brows. Shen Yanbai, on the other hand, did not react much, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Cheng Xiaoman trembled with anger. She never expected that her wedding would be ruined like this. She ripped off the beaded curtain in front of her, revealing a pretty and lovely face.

But this face is not cute at all now; in fact, it looks somewhat distorted due to anger.

"You're lying! I didn't!"

Cheng Xiaoman retorted loudly, glaring hatefully at the scarred man and his companion.

She was determined to deny it to the death, but everyone present was shrewd, especially the leaders of various sects. Which of them hadn't been involved in the martial arts world in their youth? How could a little girl fool them with just a few words?

Many people noticed Cheng Xiaoman's guilty conscience, and the discussions at the scene grew even louder.

Some people looked at Cheng Xiaoman with surprise and skepticism. Cheng Xiaoman had a simple and cute appearance, like a girl next door, and easily won people's favor.

"You can know a person's face but not their heart," someone secretly sighed.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her strangely, Cheng Xiaoman became more and more anxious. She grabbed Shen Yanbai's arm with both hands and shook it urgently.

"Brother Yanbai, I really didn't! You have to believe me!"

Cheng Xiaoman tried her best to explain, tears welling up in her eyes.

Shen Yanbai remained aloof, seemingly unaffected by the words of the scarred man and his companions. However, only those who knew him well could discern the coldness in his eyes.

If Shen Yanbai was initially indifferent to Cheng Xiaoman but married her out of a sense of responsibility, intending to live a good life with her, then now he has developed a deep aversion to her.

He had initially thought she was at least a simple and kind girl.

"Stop!" Shen Yanbai brushed Cheng Xiaoman's hand away and shouted in the direction of the scarred man.

The Lingyun Manor disciples who were fighting immediately stopped and flew back to their previous positions.

"Why don't you gentlemen go to your guest rooms and rest first, and we can discuss this matter later?"

Even if Shen Yanbai disliked Cheng Xiaoman, Cheng Xiaoman was a descendant of the Lotus Sword Immortal and now belonged to their Lingyun Manor. He couldn't let her lose face, and their Lingyun Manor couldn't afford to lose face either.

The best solution is to resolve the issue through private negotiation.

Cheng Xiaoman was secretly delighted. The panic on her face vanished, and she became full of confidence. She even unconsciously tightened her grip on the butterfly jade pendant on her body.

She knew that the jade pendant had been a great help, and she also knew that there were many big shots in the martial arts world who recognized the jade pendant.

Although she didn't know who those people were, as long as she kept wearing the jade pendant, she would be recognized and receive help.

Cheng Xiaoman was overjoyed. Shen Yanbai waved his hand, ordering someone to ask the scarred man and his men to leave.

The disciples of Lingyun Manor stepped forward, but the scarred man glanced discreetly into the crowd, as if he had received some order.

He, who had quieted down, shouted again, "No way! Who knows if you'll kill me to silence me?"

The scarred man's accomplice also shouted, "We're not leaving! We dare not leave! We demand an explanation from Cheng Xiaoman! We demand that Cheng Xiaoman pay with her life!"

"Yes! It's only right that a murderer should pay with his life! Your Lingyun Manor shouldn't even think about protecting evildoers!"

"The prestigious Lingyun Manor, a paragon of righteousness, could it be that all its members are hypocrites?"

......

Rong Rong was surprised by the scarred man's audacity this time, but the bigger the commotion, the happier she would be, as it would be to her advantage.

Jiang Yetang looked down and saw Rong Rong's upturned eyebrows and eyes; the smile on his lips was even deeper than Rong Rong's.

Rong Rong was unaware that the scarred man, who was about to leave, had only made a point of eye contact with Jiang Yetang before continuing to shout relentlessly.

But Old Master Shen saw it all clearly.

These people were recruited by Chuanshanlou!

Grandpa Shen immediately turned to look at Grandpa Jiang, and saw that the other man was looking at the woman next to Jiang Yetang with a big smile on his face.

Old Master Jiang was much more perceptive than Jiang Yetang. Almost as soon as Old Master Shen looked at him, he immediately turned around, and the two met each other's eyes.

Old Master Jiang raised his head defiantly, and Old Master Shen's face suddenly darkened.

This is just another trick by the Jiang family!

Old Master Shen immediately came to this conclusion. He turned his scrutinizing gaze to Rong Rong, thinking that this must be the true descendant of the junior sister that the Jiang family had mentioned.

Old Master Shen remained silent. To be honest, he didn't quite believe it. He didn't trust the Jiang family's character. If Cheng Xiaoman was really fake, and the Jiang family had discovered the truth first, would they be so kind as to come and tell him before the wedding?

He still leans towards the idea that the Jiang family is deliberately staging this charade, intentionally smearing Cheng Xiaoman to make them dislike and hurt her, so that the Jiang family can then play the good guys and abduct Cheng Xiaoman.

Isn't this old man Jiang's usual specialty?

When he was young, he and his junior sister were deceived by Old Man Jiang in the same way, and they went further and further astray. He would never be fooled again!
