Many people in the village knew that Zhang Gua and Xu San had a close relationship, so Zhang Gua didn't feel embarrassed when he said this.
Especially those who were curious, after hearing what Zhang Gua said, they immediately ran to look for Xu San.
At this time, Xu San was wandering aimlessly in the village. He was curious as to why he hadn't seen many people in the village after walking for so long.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps from behind him. He turned around and saw several people running towards him.
"What are you doing?" Xu San was curious about what was going on. Why were these people running so fast?
These people stopped in front of Xu San, grabbed Xu San's arm and were about to take him to Zhang Gua's house.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you pulling me here?" Xu San was a bit confused. Why were these people pulling him here so early in the morning? Where were they taking him? Had he done anything recently? No, Xu San thought about it, but couldn't think of anything he had done recently that was disgusting.
The person holding Xu San heard Xu San yelling and immediately turned around and scolded him, "Shut up. You know what you've done. You'll find out when you get there."
Xu San was extremely timid in the village, so when this man yelled at him, he immediately stopped talking and followed him obediently to Zhang Gua's yard.
When he saw the front door of Zhang Gua's house, Xu San's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his affair with Zhang Gua had been discovered?
But he thought again, this kind of thing has always been a matter of officials not being investigated unless the people report it, and Zhang Gua has no husband, so how could anyone tell this kind of thing to the village?
But what else did he do? Seeing most of the people in the village gathered at the door of Zhang Gua's house, Xu San was a little scared.
When Xu San appeared, many people in the village pointed at him and kept saying something.
"Look at this Xu San, he's been doing nothing all day. Liu Mingmei has been dead for so many years, but he still hasn't given up on her." A woman spat at Xu San.
With this woman taking the lead, others immediately followed.
For a while, voices blaming Xu San rose one after another. In fact, everyone was just watching the fun. It was just because Fu Liu was now a concubine in the palace, and these villagers wanted to please Fu Liu, so they spared no effort to blame Xu San on this matter. It seemed that if they blamed hard enough, Fu Liu would take it seriously and give them some benefits.
Unfortunately, Fu Liu was now completely focused on believing in what Zhang Gua said, and didn't take the villagers' accusations against Xu San seriously at all.
Xu San felt a little wronged when he saw these people blaming him. He hadn't done anything wrong, so why did these people treat him like this?
Although she is timid and used to being submissive in this village, it does not mean that she should happily accept the blame when others put it on her head.
"Bah, what are you all talking about? I, Xu San, am responsible for my own actions. I don't know what you are talking about." Xu San couldn't bear it any longer and finally vented.
The people in the village seemed to be frightened, but after they came to their senses, they immediately continued to accuse.
At this moment, Chen Yalan suddenly stood up and said, "I can testify for Xu San about this matter. Xu San did not buy the hairpin from Zhang Gua."
The people in the village didn't take Xu San seriously, but they attached great importance to Chen Yalan who had always been with Fu Liu, so when Chen Yalan spoke, they immediately quieted down.
Hey, this person actually testified for Xu San. She said that Xu San did not buy the hairpin. Could it be that Zhang Gua was really lying?
Everyone turned their suspicious gazes to Zhang Gua. Seeing this, Zhang Gua immediately shouted, "I did sell the hairpin to him, and you testify for him. What qualifications do you have to testify for him? Did you see it?"
When the villagers heard this, they immediately looked at Chen Yalan again. Yes, you didn’t see this incident, so how can you testify for him?
Who knew Chen Yalan? She just shook her head and said, "Go dig under the big tree at the entrance of the village, and you'll find the hairpin."
Someone heard what the two men said and immediately ran to the village entrance with a shovel. After a while, he ran back and said, "The hairpin is buried under the tree."
At this point, there is both human and material evidence, so whatever Zhang Gua says is no longer credible.
When Chen Yalan mentioned the big tree at the entrance of the village, Zhang Gua's heart suddenly sank. He stared at Chen Yalan fiercely, wondering how it could be possible. How did this person know that he bought the hairpin under the big tree at the entrance of the village?
"You followed me? Who are you? Why are you following me?" After reacting, Zhang Gua realized that Chen Yalan was following him, so she saw him burying the hairpin under the big tree.
At this moment, she no longer cared about these hairpins. She could only try her best to draw everyone's attention to Chen Yalan and the fact that she was following her.
Throwing a tantrum is a very common means of dealing out one's own tricks to the women in these villages, so after Zhang Gua's strenuous performance, everyone really turned their attention to this matter.
For people in their village, if someone follows them, it must be with bad intentions.
When everyone turned their suspicious eyes to Chen Yalan, Fu Liu realized that something was wrong and he pulled Chen Yalan behind him.
"Zhang Gua, stop talking nonsense. There's something fishy going on between you and Xu San. People like you should be arrested and thrown into a pig cage."
After saying this, Fu Liu turned his gaze to the crowd and said, "Can you allow such an indecent woman to appear in the village? A woman like this, why don't you drag her out and put her in the pig cage?"
At the beginning, Fu Liu did take into account the relationship between her mother and Zhang Gua, so she wanted to resolve the matter peacefully. However, Zhang Gua not only did not return her mother's hairpin, but instead slandered her mother and Xu San, saying that Zhang Gua bought his hairpin because she wanted to commemorate her mother. Isn't this throwing dirty water on my own mother?
Now that there is witnesses and evidence, he not only refuses to repent, but continues to try to put the blame on Chen Yalan.
After all, his mother had been dead for many years, so Fu Liu could still endure it for a while. However, Chen Yalan was a living person and had nothing to do with this matter. It was all for himself. He would never allow Chen Yalan to be implicated in this matter.
