Chu Yuning froze, the flickering flames on the torch distorting his silhouette.
"This is a family matter. Since you have already broken off the engagement with me, you have no right to interfere!"
“I witnessed this incident, and I have the right to know how the person who made the mistake should be punished!” Shen Yuan said.
Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, Zhao Shi suddenly raised her head, her face contorted with rage, and roared, "Shen Yuan, you wretched girl! It's all your fault, you're the one who ruined me, and you still dare to come here! You little bitch, I don't need your fake kindness, even if I die, I'll drag you down to hell with me! You'll get your retribution!"

"The village head has abused his power all these years, forcing the men in my family to do farm work for the Zhao family for free, and he's also embezzled a lot of our grain. Why should he only have to kneel in the ancestral hall? He deserves to die too! They both deserve to die!"
The crowd was in a frenzy, and Chu Yuning looked at Shen Yuan in disbelief.
She did it on purpose; she absolutely did it on purpose to stir up trouble and encourage people!
Shen Yuan smiled.
She wasn't pretending to be kind; she was truly wicked!
Since so much firewood has been brought, it would be a waste to burn only one person. We should burn both Zhao Shi and the village head to death!
