There was an uproar inside and outside the county government office; no one had ever seen anything like it before.
The first to react was Chen Feng's wife. Seeing that this little bitch she hated so much was being protected by two men, her anger surged even more.
Seeing that the county magistrate did not stop her, she immediately crawled over on her knees and began slapping Dong Juan's drooping head repeatedly.
She had tried to make a move on the street earlier, but the little bitch dodged it.
Now that she's seriously injured and immobilized on a chair, it's the perfect opportunity for him to take revenge.
Even if she ends up being arrested and detained for a few days, she'll accept it.
She's happy as long as she can play to her heart's content!
So, while the two constables were pulling at the man above, the woman slapped Dong Juan across the face with both hands, one after another.
In no time, that face, which was quite pretty, was slapped until it swelled up like a pig's head.
The woman was panting heavily from exhaustion, but her face was beaming with a joyful smile.
"You shameless slut, how are you going to seduce men with that pig-headed face of yours!"
She smeared blood on her hands with disgust on the face of the man being beaten next to her, and spat on him fiercely.
"Bah! Adulterers and adulterers!"
After spitting out the insult, his face fell, and he turned to the magistrate, kowtowing and pleading:
"Please, Your Honor, do me justice! This man won't even raise his child; he only has eyes for that slut. I want a divorce from him!"
"If they return the money, I, a humble woman, can raise my child on my own. Please, Your Honor, grant me this favor!"
The voice was shrill, filled with hatred and sorrow, and it deeply moved the listener.
The magistrate glanced at Shen Xingmian's expression and, seeing that she showed no displeasure, knew how to handle the situation.
What he didn't know was that even though Shen Xingmian had experienced a lot, this scene was still enough to shock her.
In terms of appearance, Dong Juan is not particularly outstanding.
How could she have captivated two men so much that they were driven mad by her?
She was genuinely confused.
Confused, their expressions turned somewhat serious.
Xiao Yanyue, standing beside her, frowned slightly, completely unable to understand what was going on between the two men.
Why would they risk their lives to protect a woman who is so promiscuous?
However, he has never been interested in other people's affairs.
Only because Shen Xingmian was by my side did I have the patience to continue watching.
The magistrate suddenly slammed his gavel, startling everyone.
What happened today was truly unbelievable; they were so engrossed in watching that they almost forgot they were in the county government office...
"My lord, I've been wronged..."
Dong Juan's cheeks were swollen and red, her lips were covered in blood, and her teeth were loosened from the beating.
After gathering his strength for a while, he finally calmed down and shouted, "I'm innocent!"
But in this situation where two men are going crazy for her.
Who would believe that?
Hearing that she dared to cry out for justice, the woman immediately began to cry out her own grievances, completely drowning out Dong Juan's voice.
Dong Juan nearly vomited blood.
She was in excruciating pain in her cheeks and buttocks, and the man who came to her aid did little to help.
Now that he was on top of her after being beaten, the pain made it hard for her to breathe.
What terrible things have they done?
If she had known things would turn out this way, she wouldn't have coveted Chen Feng's little bit of money.
When her father was still a county magistrate, she didn't have much money, so why would she need to pretend to be aggrieved and smile ingratiatingly to cheat him out of this?
That's not even enough to buy one of her hairpins.
But it was precisely for this small amount of money that she suffered such a humiliating disgrace today.
I've completely lost face in front of so many people.
Dong Juan closed her eyes, unable to face this despairing situation any longer.
She was in so much pain that she was too weak to argue.
Moreover, that damned woman next to her wouldn't give her a chance to argue.
How did things turn out this way...?
She was just out buying some things.
It was no different from any other day.
Why... did I encounter such bad luck?
The woman beside her had no idea what she was thinking. If she had, she would have laughed heartily and exclaimed that retribution was just as it should have been.
The magistrate acted with remarkable speed today. After giving the men who barged in later a beating, he ordered them to return all the silver to the woman.
The divorce was processed directly.
Since the two men had been flogged and needed to go back to raise money, they weren't locked up in jail.
As for Chen Feng, the woman looked at him like he was dog excrement and ignored him completely. After kowtowing to the magistrate, she decisively got up and went home.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to give the two men a fierce warning:
"Hurry up and get some money for your mother, or I'll continue to file lawsuits. If you don't want to be locked up in jail, you'd better send the money back to your mother as soon as possible!"
Dong Juan was practically grinding her teeth to powder, but she was completely helpless against this person.
She was in so much pain that she didn't dare get up from the stool and moved around very carefully.
The bailiffs nearby thought it was too slow, so they simply grabbed her and threw her outside the county government office.
Her two men received the same treatment.
Finally, the man who received the lightest punishment managed to hire an oxcart and take all three of them home.
This caused many people to point and whisper behind his back.
"This is utterly indecent and immoral!"
"If you ask me, that woman definitely shouldn't keep this man. Those three scoundrels should just live together to avoid harming others."
"Exactly, knowing he's such a good-for-nothing, who would still marry their daughter to him?"
The murmurs of the crowd were not suppressed at all, and the three people on the oxcart could hear them clearly.
No matter how angry they were, they couldn't refute anything at this moment.
It's really...
My butt hurts so much.
Shen Xingmian watched the whole thing from the back of the crowd and still found it incredible.
Are there really men who still love their wives terribly even when they cheat on them?
She tugged at Xiao Yanyue's sleeve and asked curiously, "Daodao, if I were to seduce another man, would you act like this person?"
Just hearing this hypothesis made Xiao Yanyue want to draw her sword and kill someone.
His lips were pursed, and the way he looked at Shen Xingmian made her shiver involuntarily.
I quickly reached out and patted his back:
"No, no, if I could find someone else, why would I have waited for you for so many years?"
It would have been better if this hadn't been brought up; the more it was mentioned, the more Xiao Yanyue felt cheated.
He really couldn't understand why he had to wait until he was eighteen, when fifteen would have been enough!
No, I'll have to make up for it tonight.
With their own thoughts, the two bid farewell to this interlude and continued on their way.
As she walked, Shen Xingmian suddenly stopped.
"Why don't we go and see what happens? I'm really curious how these three will get along after they go back."
"Aren't you curious? These kinds of things happen all the time!"
