Liu Xiuhong's eyes flickered uncertainly as she said, "I... he was too strong. He covered my mouth so I didn't have time to scream..."
"Oh, even if you didn't have time to scream, if someone violates you, you should at least fight back, right? I don't see any trace of resistance in this patch of grass," Song An'an pressed on.
"I...I have it, of course I have it," Liu Xiuhong said hurriedly.
Song Anxin's face was cold: "A woman who is suddenly dragged into the bushes and about to be violated, panicked and struggling, would notice a mole on the other person's chest? Could she even tell if it's on the left or right? You even know it's near the armpit!?"
Song Anxin's three consecutive questions sent a chill down Liu Xiuhong's spine, leaving her momentarily speechless and unsure how to defend herself: "I...I..."
Grandma Song chimed in, "That's right, Anbang's mole on his chest is so small you can't even see it unless you look closely!"
Song Anxin turned to the village head and the Liu clan chief and said, "Uncle, Elder Liu, Anbang said he only felt a pain in the back of his head and then fainted. When he woke up, he was like this. I suspect that the Liu family knocked Anbang unconscious first and then dragged him here. Maybe the stick used to kill him is still nearby."
Her eyes suddenly turned to Liu Fangtou. How could Liu Xiuhong, a woman alone, possibly do such a thing? The Liu family must have been involved as well. As for Liu's two sons, they were tightly controlled by their wives and would definitely not help Liu Xiuhong do such a thing.
When Liu Fangtou heard that Fengnian Niang had actually guessed that the stick was nearby and was staring intently at him, he panicked and immediately looked towards where he had hidden the stick.
Song Anxin smirked and pointed in the direction Liu Fang was looking, saying, "You guys, Fengnian Fengshou, go look over there. The stick might be there."
Lin Fengnian and the others immediately went to look for it, and eventually Ah Si found the stick.
He immediately ran up and said, "Second Aunt, you were right, there really is a stick."
Seeing the truth come out, Old Liu was so angry his face turned green: "Fang Tou, what have you done! You, you have utterly disgraced the Liu family!"
When the surrounding villagers saw this, they realized that things were really as Aunt Lin had said. Aunt Lin was really amazing; she could even guess where the stick used to commit the crime was.
Their gazes toward Liu Xiuhong became strange. Some were angry, furious that she had framed Song Tongsheng and dared to dream of marrying him. Song Tongsheng had almost died to prove his innocence. These were naturally the young girls and women who admired Song Anbang.
Others expressed disdain and contempt, feeling that Liu Xiuhong not only had a reputation for bringing bad luck to her husbands, but was also shameless!
Immediately, everyone started pointing and whispering about Liu Xiuhong.
Lin Gangzi also came to see, but he stood far behind the villagers. Seeing this, he curled his lips. Liu Xiuhong was really stupid. Such a good plan was ruined by her.
When Liu Xiuhong realized that her scheme had been exposed and that the clan chief and the villagers were mocking and blaming her, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body freezing cold.
Aunt Fang hugged her, her voice trembling, and said, "Daughter, what should we do now? Should we just let it go? Oh dear, this is so embarrassing, how can your mother ever go out in public again?"
Liu Xiuhong immediately stood up, her eyes filled with fierce determination. She absolutely could not let this go! She had to make Song Tongsheng marry her. If she let it go like this, it would be tantamount to admitting that she had plotted to frame Song Tongsheng. How could she ever face anyone in Linjia Village again?
She suddenly shouted, "No, no! None of that! It was Song Tongsheng who humiliated me! What can a stick prove? Don't be misled by Aunt Lin. Everyone in the village knows that Aunt Lin is eloquent. This stick is probably just something they picked up randomly to deny that Song Tongsheng abused me!"
She burst into tears again: "Waaah... How could I, a woman, have thought of doing such a thing... My innocence is ruined, my reputation is ruined, I might as well just die..."
The villagers watching immediately agreed that it made a lot of sense. What good woman would joke about her reputation and innocence? Besides, Aunt Lin was indeed much more eloquent and intelligent than them.
Song Anxin and his group were so angry they were practically dripping with rage. This Liu Xiuhong was just taking advantage of the fact that she had been married once and couldn't possibly have a medical certificate to try and extort money from Song Anbang.
Old Mrs. Song said angrily, "How could you be so vicious? We've found evidence of your plot to frame my Bang'er, but you still stubbornly refuse to admit it. Even if you die, we will never let you into the Song family!"
Although Song Anxin found the evidence and exposed Liu Xiuhong's lies, this kind of scandalous news occurred in feudal ancient times. As long as the woman insisted on it and there was no way to verify her innocence, it was a dead end.
Song Anbang's face was grim, his eyes dark and unfathomable. If there was really no other way, she could only prove her innocence by dying, but if she did that, he would be letting down his mother and older sister.
Just as the matter reached a stalemate, Liu Xiuhong, who was crying more and more agitated, suddenly started gagging.
The villagers were baffled by her continuous gagging; why was this girl suddenly vomiting?
When Aunt Fang saw her daughter suddenly vomit, she quickly patted her back and asked, "Girl, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Erxi, seeing this, curled her lip and said, "Why is she vomiting all the time? I remember my eldest sister vomiting like this when she was pregnant with Da Xiaocao."
The commotion here was so bad that Brother Lin was afraid of scaring Xiao Cao and her two children, so he took them home long ago.
Sister-in-law Lin also found it strange: "Yes, she looks like a pregnant woman."
Song Anxin: "...!!!??"
Lin Erxi, you really are the queen of truth! She thought it was highly likely that Liu Xiuhong was here to find a father for her child.
The conversation between Sister-in-law Lin and Lin Erxi was overheard by some women nearby. Women are very keen on gossip, and they immediately became suspicious as well.
"Yes, the eldest daughter of the Liu family is vomiting in a way that doesn't resemble morning sickness at all!"
"Yes, I also vomited like that when I was pregnant with my baby, especially when my husband argued with me and I got angry, I vomited even more."
"....……"
The women discussed these things without any restraint, and the villagers present naturally heard it all, looking at Liu Xiuhong with suspicion.
Liu Fangtou asked blankly, "Girl, you're not really pregnant, are you?"
Aunt Fang glared at him: "Are you brainless?! How could you ask such a question? How could your daughter be pregnant? She doesn't have a man."
