Transmigrated only to be buried? To voluntarily commit suttee for her husband? Xu Zhichun, terrified, lifted the white shroud and sat up, tearfully telling everyone that King Yama wouldn't take...
Chapter 349 Bullying the Dead
Uncle Liang was so annoyed by Zhang's stupidity that he said, "Just shut up!"
Stupid and talkative!
What sin has he committed?
Xu Zhichun: "You guys chat slowly, I'm leaving first."
Uncle Liang gritted his teeth and said, "You can't leave until the matter is sorted out."
Xu Zhichun: "I think it's very clear. Without any evidence, this person is a fake. You may not be afraid, but I am. I'm afraid that my husband will come to me in a dream in the middle of the night and say that someone has messed with his bloodline!"
Xu Zhichun left without caring about the couple's dumbfounded expression.
Zhang started to talk nonsense again: "Look, look, what's Xu's attitude? She feels guilty. Yes, she feels guilty!"
Liang Lizheng said calmly, "Mrs. Xu's status is different now. She is the Shanci Madam granted pardon by the Emperor and praised by Mr. Songquan. Of course, we must be extremely cautious about her affairs. If it were an ordinary country family, it would be a mistake to recognize the bloodline, and it would not be a big deal. Even if they are unrelated, they will at least have more labor in the family when they grow up, which is not bad, right?"
"But Madam Xu is different! So this matter really can't be dealt with haphazardly. We can't just let it go based on a few words from someone. Oh, if Minglang were still here, it would be great. If he said it was true, then it would be true. But unfortunately, he's gone, and we can't even do a paternity test."
Uncle Liang had a gloomy face.
"But this is indeed the bright bloodline—"
"Where's the certificate?"
"This child is clearly——"
"Forget it, forget it. Forget about the resemblance. We can't even see Minglang now, so how can we remember clearly what he looked like as a child? Whether he looks alike or not is just based on people's own opinions, and there's no evidence!"
"How about this, you take the person back first, and then see if there is any other way."
Qingniang was about to cry, and looked at Liang Lizheng, wondering whether to cry or not: "Lizheng, I——"
Liang Lizheng waved his hand. "Don't tell me that. I'm just a small Lizheng in Liangjia Village. I'm only in charge of trivial matters in our village. I can't say anything about people and things I don't know or am not familiar with without solid evidence. If I say anything, wouldn't that be nonsense? You can't be so casual, right?"
Qingniang was suddenly embarrassed, and struggled pitifully and weakly: "But Chang'er is really Minglang's bloodline."
Liang Lizheng sneered in his heart, but said coldly: "Oh, then you can talk to Minglang. After all, I don't know either."
So why tell him?
You really just say whatever you want with your mouths, and you insist on having others acknowledge it after you say it - is there such a cheap and good thing in the world?
Qingniang's thin body swayed weakly, and she covered her mouth and sobbed, as if she was extremely sad.
Zeng Xiaoyan, who was peeking through the window, clenched her fists and was burning with anger. She wanted to rush in and beat the shameless man to death. Liang Mingliang almost couldn't hold her back.
Liang Lizheng: "Okay, take the people away first."
Zhang was anxious: "How can that be? Qingniang is Minglang's concubine, so she is a Liang family member. Chang'er is also Minglang's bloodline. They have to live in Minglang's house."
Zeng Xiaoyan could no longer tolerate it. She slapped Liang Mingliang away and walked in, sneering, "Are you being too shameless? Brother Minglang admitted with his own mouth that this woman is his concubine and the child is his? Did you see it with your own eyes and hear it with your own ears?"
Zhang was annoyed: "If it wasn't Qingniang, how would she know Minglang? Why would she come here? This child also-"
"Then there isn't any! You sound so sure, I thought you saw it with your own eyes and heard it with your own ears. Why did you come here? Oh, that's interesting. Maybe someone was obsessed with seizing Sister Zhichun's property and colluded with others to tell her!"
Zhang was furious and said, "Zeng Xiaoyan! What do you mean?"
"What? I can't doubt something without any evidence? You guys are trying to force Sister Zhichun to suffer such a huge loss just by talking. You're really dreaming!"
"you--"
"Shut up!" Uncle Liang glared at Zhang fiercely. This idiot was getting more and more stupid. He kept talking and talking. If he continued, Zeng Xiaoyan might set him up.
"Village head, let's talk about this later. There has to be a proper solution. We were a little anxious. After all, Minglang still has a blood relative alive. We were really happy for him, and we didn't think much about it. No wonder Xu and Xiaoyan were suspicious."
"But what if this child is really Minglang's blood? Are we just going to let him wander around out there? Not to mention being sorry for Minglang, we can't bear it either."
Zeng Xiaoyan sneered, "Haha!" How shameless!
Liang Lizheng also complained in his heart: How shameless!
But he certainly couldn't say that.
It was truly disgusting. Liang Lizheng, who was known for his fairness, prestige, and honesty, couldn't help but sneer, "You have a point. Take the man back first. We must investigate this matter thoroughly. We can't let an honest man suffer any loss."
Zeng Xiaoyan sneered: "Some people are just bullying Brother Minglang because he's dead and can't speak!"
Zhang was furious: "Hey, how can you say that?"
Liang Mingliang, the wife's slave, firmly defended his wife, saying, "My wife is absolutely right. The dead can't defend themselves. Wouldn't that make them vulnerable to bullying? Is Brother Minglang that irresponsible? If he really had a concubine, he would have brought her back long ago. This child looks four years old, right? Add in the one year of pregnancy, that's five years. Haha!"
Five years ago, Liang Minglang was still in the village. Even if he really had something going on with this woman outside, with his personality, he would not have turned a blind eye to it.
Qingniang's face suddenly looked a little unnatural, she lowered her head, and her body stiffened.
Uncle Liang also felt a little uneasy. "No one knows what happened at that time. Maybe there is something else going on."
He couldn't possibly say Minglang was a bad person, could he? If he slandered his dead nephew, everyone would only despise him.
Zeng Xiaoyan: “Haha!”
Uncle Liang couldn't stay any longer. "Village head, I'll take the man away first. Please find a way to find out the truth."
"Oh!"
Zhang was furious all the way. "That Xu is such a piece of shit! I think she just wants to take the family fortune for herself. Why don't you let Qingniang take the child and kneel at her door? Qingniang cried and begged, and I don't believe that Xu is shameless enough to refuse her entrance!"
Qingniang immediately showed her agreement.
She had long heard Zhang describe how wealthy Xu's family was. Just now, although she was dressed in ordinary clothes, she had two servants, many rewards from the emperor, so much land, and an excellent reputation.
She would do anything for her son.
Once she enters that house, no one can drive her away.
