Chapter 10 Help! Murder!
"I didn't believe Yan'er's one-sided story at first, but now that I've caught them in the act, I have nothing to say."
"Look! Everyone come and see this slut! She's covered in red teeth marks from being gnawed on by some wild man, and she still claims she and her lover are innocent. If you ask me, she should be all red and swollen, and you can smell her stench from miles away!"
"I always knew Hu Li'er was no good. Sure enough, it's a good thing I stopped my man from talking to her in time. Otherwise, even if I pushed my man into a well, I wouldn't be able to wash him clean."
"Enough with the nonsense, quickly arrest this adulterous couple and drown them in a pig cage!"
Hu Lier was being gossiped about and scolded by her neighbors. She buried her head and sobbed, unable to bear looking at what was happening in front of her. She was certain that she and Hu Zhiwei had made mistakes last night, and that Cen Yan was definitely involved.
Regardless of whether Shan Jianshe will forgive her after this, right now, if she doesn't come up with a way, she will definitely be arrested by the law enforcement team, criticized, and then drowned in a pig cage as a warning to others!
Now, the only person who can save her is Cen Yan.
Thinking of this, Hu Lier rushed towards Cen Yan and pleaded in a low voice.
"Yanyan, considering I haven't mistreated you all these years, could you please put in a good word for me and get the neighbors to leave? Last night, Zhiwei and I got into trouble because we were drinking, so I don't blame you. Could you please help me smooth things over...?"
Cen Yan shoved Hu Lier away, her expression still one of frantic grief: "Hu Lier, you introduced him to me, but you couldn't resist your lust and got together with Hu Zhiwei. Now you want me to speak up for you and get out of this mess? Dream on! Just wait for the law enforcement team to come, they'll arrest you, parade you through the streets, put you in jail, and send you to the far northwest!"
"You dare! Cen Yan, if anything happens to me, you won't get away with it either! Don't forget, the Cen family is already on the enforcement team's blacklist, and soon your home will be raided and you'll be demoted. Right now, the only person willing to marry you is Zhiwei! If Zhiwei and I are really accused of having an affair, you, Cen Yan, will be the one to die with us!"
Hu Lier was rejected by Cen Yan, and she went completely mad, howling and threatening to force Cen Yan to agree to the marriage.
But did Cen Yan care? She squatted down in front of Hu Lier and smiled meaningfully.
"Aunt Hu, do you think I'll feel disappointed that I didn't marry Hu Zhiwei?"
"So it was you who did it! You little brat, I'll beat you to death!" Hu Lier was a smart woman. Cen Yan's eyes were clearly provoking her. She was unwilling to marry Hu Zhiwei and follow him back to the countryside.
Cen Yan didn't dodge, letting Hu Li'er's slap fall. She immediately bit open the blood pack she had hidden in her mouth beforehand, let out a howl, and fell backward.
"Aunt Hu, you slept with my man! And you expect me to cover for you two adulterers? It's only natural for me not to be humiliated, how could you lay a hand on me! Dad, it hurts so much, *splat*..."
As Cen Yan spoke, she spat out a mouthful of blood, startling everyone around her. Aunt Wu rushed forward, heartbroken, and hugged Cen Yan tightly.
"Good heavens! Hu Lier, you violated human ethics by sleeping with Yan Ya's fiancé, and you still dare to hit him? When the law enforcement team arrives, I will testify and make your crime even more serious!"
Hu Lier looked at her palm; she had just missed. Hearing this, she immediately protested, "No, I didn't hit Cen Yan! That brat is framing me!"
Cen Yan shook her head frantically, "No, I didn't. Aunt Hu, look at my face, you've left red marks on it. How can you say you didn't hit me? Okay, fine, I'll just pretend you didn't hit me."
"You little brat! You dare to talk nonsense? I'll kill you!" Hu Li'er was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She struggled to get close to Cen Yan, but Cen Yan hid behind Shan Jianshe and cried out for help.
"Dad, help! Aunt Hu is trying to kill someone..."
