Chapter 021 Things must be solved one by one
"What evidence?" Xie Changgen asked.
"I wonder if the clan leader will handle this impartially?"
Xie Changgen glanced at Li Sheng and saw that he looked extremely confident. He said, "That's my own fault. I just said it before, I'll stick with what's right, not my relatives. As the head of the clan, I've always been fair in my dealings."
"Okay. With so many tribesmen here, I believe the clan leader won't go back on his word." Chen Heng didn't believe it, but she had to ask anyway. She said to the women, "Aunties, please follow me and my sister-in-law into the house."
The women looked at each other. They didn't want to get involved in the Xie family's affairs, so they looked at their men. These men all looked at the patriarch.
Chen Heng took in all their expressions, her expression unmoved. Despite her workload, she understood that relationships between people were often driven by profit. There was no need to dislike them, or get angry about them. If she were in their shoes, she might simply remain indifferent.
But she did not lose herself under the rules of the adult world. She still maintained a pure heart, a strong sense of justice, and a deep love for life. She would not give up because of troubles, nor would she become numb.
"Why are you looking at me? Just go when I tell you to." Xie Changgen felt that it was impossible to stop what was happening in front of so many people.
Xia also looked at Chen Heng anxiously, not understanding what her sister-in-law was going to do.
Chen Heng took Xia and several other women into the inner room and came out after a cup of tea.
"Auntie, tell me what you just saw." Chen Heng said to one of the younger women.
The woman glanced at Xia, whose eyes were red from crying, then looked at the clan leader and clan members who were looking at her. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Xia's arms, neck, and wrists have pinch marks and some wounds."
The hatred in Xie Jian's eyes had originally faded a little, and it resurfaced at this moment, but compared to before, the murderous intent in his expression had been hidden a lot, and his emotions seemed to have calmed down a lot.
"If what Li Sheng said is true, where did my sister-in-law get the injuries?" Chen Heng glanced at everyone and thought that if she hadn't wanted to go to the toilet, her sister-in-law might have... She didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Each member of the Xie family avoided her gaze, lowered their heads and said nothing.
"Xia injured herself." Li Sheng was anxious. He didn't expect that the evidence he was talking about would be this.
The clan leader's wife, Mrs. Li, winked at Li Dou, asking him to think of a solution.
Li Dou really wanted to cover Chen Heng's mouth fiercely. This woman seemed like a different person. When did she become so smart?
Chen Heng looked at Xie Changgen and said, "Patriarch, you just said you would handle this impartially. Please don't break your promise."
Xie Changgen was choked, and cursed Li Sheng several times in his heart, and winked at the tribesmen around him.
The tribesman understood and came out, saying, "Wife Xie Jian, how about this? It's getting late. Let's all go back to bed first. We'll talk about Li Sheng tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, yes." Many people agreed.
Chen Heng had expected this: "No, since there is solid evidence, Li Sheng should be sent to the authorities. My sister-in-law cannot be bullied like this for no reason." Having said that, she also knew that no conclusion could be reached tonight. There were only three of them, and the other side had so many people.
"Sister," a woman came over, looking like she was trying to persuade him, "Why send him an official? The fewer people who know about this, the better. If you don't consider your sister-in-law's reputation, you should also consider the reputations of Xie Jian, Xie Min, and the others."
