Shao Yan and Wu Mingde were heading towards the Shao family's house. That alley was where they had lived together for many years and they would walk along it even with their eyes closed.
When Shao Yan was about to reach the alley, she always felt that someone was following her, but when she turned around, there was no one there.
But she became nervous and even her breathing became rapid.
"Husband," Shao Yan nervously grasped Wu Mingde's hand, "Do you think Xu Min will retaliate against us because of that incident?"
Wu Mingde thought of something and his expression became serious.
"Given Xu Min's personality, it's not impossible for him to do such a thing," said Wu Mingde.
Wu Mingde had earned dozens of taels of silver by solving a puzzle in the town before. Xu Min, who had looked down on the Wu family, was suddenly blinded by the money and stayed at Wu Mingde's house every day hoping that he would come back.
But Wu Mingde never showed up once.
Everyone thought that Shao Yan had become the ghost bride of a short-lived ghost, but Xu Wen met Shao Yan on the street and said that Shao Yan was walking with Wu Mingde, talking and laughing.
Xu Min didn't believe it so she ran to the town and waited for several days. Unexpectedly, she actually caught him.
But she only saw Wu Mingde, but not Shao Yan.
But she was originally waiting for Wu Mingde and didn't care about Shao Yan.
She rushed forward happily and tried to hold Wu Mingde's hand but was pushed away by Wu Mingde.
When Wu Mingde saw her, he didn't show any surprise at all. Instead, he said something like "men and women shouldn't touch each other" as if he had seen a ghost.
Xu Min was annoyed. Any man she liked had to be hers no matter what.
Not only Wu Mingde must be hers, but even Wu Mingde's fifty taels must be hers!
So she didn't get up, but sat on the ground and burst into tears, saying that Wu Mingde insulted her but didn't want to take responsibility.
If this crime really fell on Wu Mingde, he would not be able to pass the imperial examinations, and he would not even be able to survive in the town.
If Wu Mingde doesn't want to be disgraced, he has to marry her.
Wu Mingde has a dull personality and can only talk about propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, so he is definitely no match for her.
She had a good plan, but Xie Yunjiao happened to pass by and was naturally displeased to see her relying on Wu Mingde.
"You said Wu Mingde molested you. Do you have any evidence?" Xie Yunjiao said.
Xu Min remembered Xie Yunjiao, who was Shao Yan's former boss. She was rich and dressed very beautifully. She must be very good at hooking up with men.
Could it be that she also has a crush on Wu Mingde?
That won’t do. Wu Mingde is hers.
So Xu Min hurriedly said, "Of course I have evidence. The toad blood in my body disappeared after what happened with Wu Mingde."
As Xu Min spoke, she lifted her sleeves, revealing her fair and slender arms.
Although she was not very good-looking, her arms hidden under her clothes were so white that many men stared at her.
However, everyone also clearly saw that the toad blood on Xu Min's arm was indeed gone, proving that she had indeed had physical contact with a man.
Everyone looked at Wu Mingde, thinking that it was Wu Mingde who did it. Otherwise, why would the girl not say anything about others but him?
"I didn't expect this guy, who looks like a decent human, to be a beast in human clothing!"
Wu Mingde was so stunned by what he said that he could only mutter to himself, "No, that's not the case."
Xie Yunjiao looked towards Xu Min and saw Xu Min smiling triumphantly.
I didn't expect that this little girl, so young, would have such thoughts.
Since she was so shameless as to bring this matter up in the open, don't blame her for being rude. She asked Xiao Liang, who accompanied her to deliver the goods, to go back to find Shao Yan, while she stayed to deal with Xu Min herself.
"You keep saying that Wu Mingde molested you, so tell me when and where it happened?" Xie Yunjiao said.
"I..." Xu Min was obviously stunned.
She had decided to do this on a whim without giving it any thought. Now, if she was asked to name a date and place, she wouldn't know what to say.
"What? You can't say it? I've never seen a girl like you, so shameless that you casually expose your skin in front of a group of people, and you even slandered them by picking on an honest-looking scholar. Are you trying to make him the cheap father of your unborn child?"
As soon as Xie Yunjiao finished speaking, everyone looked at Xu Min differently.
They felt that Xie Yunjiao's words made a lot of sense, especially the women who were watching the fun. They already thought that Xu Min's behavior was too shameless.
"She's probably been molested by some man and is looking for a scapegoat."
"That's right. Just look at her foxy face and you'll know she's not a good person."
The tone of public opinion suddenly changed, from sympathizing with Xu Min at the beginning to belittling Xu Min.
Xu Min couldn't help but get anxious. She couldn't let this opportunity, which she had finally gotten, slip away.
So she hurriedly said, "It was the sixteenth of last month."
Sixteen last month? Doesn't that mean...
Xie Yun raised her eyebrows, and couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth and said, "Are you sure?"
Xu Min looked at the smile on Xie Yunjiao's face and couldn't help but feel puzzled. What did Xie Yunjiao mean by that smile? Could it be that Xie Yunjiao knew something?
But Xie Yunjiao and Wu Mingde should not know each other, so what could she know?
"Yes, I'm sure," Xu Min gritted her teeth. "He even told me at the time that I was his sweetheart, his honey pot, and he couldn't live without me."
"I can tell you with certainty that you must have remembered the wrong man. The person you slept with was definitely not Wu Mingde." Xie Yunjiao said.
"Why do you say that? Were you with him at the time?"
"I'm sorry, it's true. I went to his wedding." Xie Yunjiao said.
"Married?" Xu Min looked at Wu Mingde in shock. How could it be possible? Wu Mingde was already married. Who was he married to? Why didn't she know?
She hasn't seen Wu Mingde since the Wu family moved out of the old house overnight.
She never expected that Wu Mingde would marry another woman.
"You can't marry another woman!" Xu Min shouted.
"If I can't marry another innocent girl, do I have to marry you, a dirty woman who doesn't even know who she lost her virginity to?" Shao Yan rushed over and slapped Xu Min when she saw her.
Xu Min was stunned and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
"Bitch, you hit me?"
When Xu Min saw that the person coming was Shao Yan, she was shocked, as if she had seen a ghost: "Shao Yan! It's you? Aren't you dead?"
"You naturally hope that I will die, but fortunately, I am lucky enough to survive. Not only that, I also married Mingde. The 18th of last month was our wedding day." Shao Yan said as she took Wu Mingde's hand.
