Chapter 172 Betting



Aunt Pan felt that there was nothing blocking her mouth anymore, and she immediately became delighted and wanted to speak.

But when she was about to speak, she realized something was wrong.

She couldn't speak!

Shen Yu'an secretly sneered, how could she not be on guard.

No one noticed that just as Shen Yu'an finished speaking, he had already released the poisonous insect he was carrying.

And the tiny poisonous insect crawled onto Aunt Pan's body according to Shen Yu'an's order, and then drilled into her ear.

Because the insect was too small, even if it entered the body, it did not attract Aunt Pan's attention.

Shen Yu'an has always wanted to try out the poisonous insect she made, but there has never been a suitable opportunity. Now, let Aunt Pan be the first person to try it.

This poisonous insect is called the Truthful Gu, and it started to work the moment it entered Aunt Pan's body.

This Gu also has another function, which is that as long as no one asks Aunt Pan a question, she will be unable to speak.

Aunt Pan opened her mouth in horror, why couldn't she speak?

Seeing that Aunt Pan didn't say anything for a long time, Zhu couldn't help but urge her anxiously, "Sister Pan, if you have any grievances, just tell me. I will definitely take care of it for you."

After saying this, he glanced at Shen Yu'an complacently.

Seeing that Shen Yu'an didn't even look at her, Zhu was so angry that her mouth was crooked.

Because she was so surprised that she couldn't speak, Aunt Pan forgot to stand up for a moment and just sat on the ground.

Many members of the Shen family came over to the yard and stood beside Shen Yu'an, looking at Aunt Pan lying on the ground with unkindness.

Shen Yu'an looked towards Zhu Lizheng and said calmly, "For the sake of fairness, please ask the Lizheng."

Zhu Lizheng nodded heavily, glanced at the people around with a cloudy look, and finally looked at Aunt Pan who was sitting on the ground in a vain manner.

He asked the first question: "Why did you come to the Shen family so early in the morning?"

This time Aunt Pan was finally able to speak. She subconsciously said, "I went to the foot of the mountain to pick wild vegetables, and passed by here on my way back to the village."

That's true, it's a trivial question.

Zhu Lizheng nodded and asked, "Did you come to the Shen family's yard on your own initiative, or were they forced to come in?"

Aunt Pan said without thinking: "Of course I came in by myself."

Zhu Lizheng said again: "Then tell me what happened after you came in."

Aunt Pan opened and closed her mouth as she recounted everything that had happened after she entered the Shen family's yard.

"When I came in, his third son was helping his pregnant wife take a walk. She was so spoiled. We have all been pregnant before, and we did our farm work while pregnant. She is nothing like him, who has to be waited on by others all day long."

Shen Yu'an looked at her with a half-smile, while the other family members looked at Aunt Pan with some unkindness.

Even the other people from Longxian Village who were present felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Aunt Pan said.

Having said that, they are indeed not that delicate when they are pregnant.

But it is a blessing to be treated so well by others, and there is nothing wrong with that.

It's fine to say this behind someone's back, but you can't say it to their face.

Everyone stood a little further away from Aunt Pan.

Zhu Lizheng continued with a somewhat unhappy expression: "And then?"

Aunt Pan said casually, "I just have good intentions. Why are you wandering around outside in such a cold weather? I just want to help the person inside..."

Zhu, whose heart had just been lifted, breathed a sigh of relief. She said, it must be this damn girl who was wrongly accusing others.

She sneered and said, "Look at what I said. Sister Pan was just trying to help you out, but you guys just kidnapped her."

"You are the ones who escaped from famine and are full of bandit spirit. Our village doesn't dare to keep you bandits. Village head, if you have such people in the village, who knows how much trouble they will cause. Let's drive them out."

Zhu Lizheng was looking at Zhu Shi like she was a fool and wanted someone to throw her out.

It was obvious that Mrs. Pan had not finished her words. If she continued talking at this time, she would be slapped in the face!

He was just about to scold Zhu.

But before he opened his mouth, he heard Shen Yu'an chuckle.

She glanced at Zhu Lizheng, and Zhu Lizheng instantly didn't want to talk anymore. Forget it, they were the ones who did the evil and they should bear the consequences themselves.

Shen Yu'an looked at Zhu and said, "How about we make a bet? If we have wrongly accused her, I will give you five taels of silver..."

Zhu's eyes lit up. Isn't this a good thing to give her money?

She immediately said, "Okay."

Then she stretched out her hand and said, "Give me the silver."

Shen Yuan glanced at her hand, but did not move. Instead, he said, "Now let's talk about what we should do if you have wronged us."

Seeing that Shen Yu'an was not keeping his word and was unwilling to give her the money, Zhu glared at her and said angrily, "What are you wronging? Are you planning to go back on your word and not give her the money? Everyone is watching."

Shen Yuan laughed softly, not impatient, and said, "It's a bet, of course both parties have to place a bet. I bet five taels of silver, what about you?"

Zhu didn't care about the stakes. She said, "I don't have five taels of silver!"

Shen Yu'an persuaded her, "I don't want your five taels of silver either. Don't you believe in Aunt Pan's innocence? As long as you bet one tael of silver, I will bet with you. How about it?"

Zhu rolled her eyes, thinking that what Shen Yu'an said was right, and she didn't realize that she had fallen into the trap set by Shen Yu'an.

The Shen family members behind him watched with their eyes and noses, thinking that since Shen Yu'an said so, he must be very sure, so they stood quietly behind Shen Yu'an without saying a word.

Others thought that Shen Yu'an was a little stupid. If he was wrong, he should just admit it. Why did he even give away money?

Some people even wanted to make a bet with Shen Yu'an.

Who wouldn't want to earn five taels of silver for free?

Among them, only Zhu Lizheng noticed that something was wrong.

This girl from the Shen family is very smart. How could she take the initiative to do something that is disadvantageous to herself?

But it was really hard for him to talk about this kind of thing. He thought for a while and scolded Zhu: "What are you doing? Go away."

But Zhu didn't feel Zhu Lizheng's kindness at all. Instead, she felt that he was biased towards those who had just arrived in the village.

She curled her lips and said disdainfully: "You, the head of the village, can't be jealous of me getting the money and try to stop me. For the sake of my father, please don't interfere."

The head of the village looked at Zhu with disappointment and thought, I see you are going to pay the money. If it weren't for your father, I wouldn't want to bother with you, you idiot!
