Chapter 45 Give my wife justice

The news seemed to have grown wings and flew to every household in Changxi Village.

In a short while, the village chief's house was surrounded by three layers of guards inside and outside.

After hearing the news, Lu Mingchao's family members also rushed over in a hurry.

"Chao Chao." When Yunniang saw Lu Mingchao's pale face, tears of heartache welled up in her eyes.

"Chao Chao, you have been wronged."

Yunniang held Lu Mingchao in her arms and patted his back gently again and again.

The rest of the Lu family looked at Lu Mingchao with worry on their faces.

Even the old lady Lu who was lying on the sickbed was carried over by Li Lei, who wanted to support Lu Mingchao.

Lu Yao, the scholar, held Lu Xiaoxin, who was crying, and protected him by Lu Mingchao's side.

In this era when everything except education is inferior, the scholar standing here represents the right to speak.

Lu Chunsheng held a sickle in his hand, as if he would fight to the death if anyone dared to hurt his daughter.

Everyone in the Lu family has accepted Lu Mingchao from the bottom of their hearts. They can't help but feel guilty and distressed. They always want to make up for it in the best way possible. How could they watch their newly married daughter suffer such a great injustice before the time for her return home for the third year of marriage?

"Old village chief, you must give my Chao Chao justice and innocence today, otherwise I will kill alive the evil person who wanted to harm my Chao Chao, or at worst I will pay with my life." Lu Chunsheng, an honest man, got angry, gritting his teeth while holding the sickle, obviously very angry.

Sun Er Shao: ???

Young Master Sun, whose wet hair was already covered with a thin layer of ice, was dumbfounded.

Does this family always act so recklessly?

What's the point of losing his life? He hasn't had enough of his good life yet.

"I, I was also deceived by Qi Rui."

The old village chief and Mrs. Fang said anxiously, "Chunsheng, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"If there is anything, let's talk it out and solve it."

Old Mrs. Fang watched Lu Chunsheng grow up, and he is an honest person who only knows how to work.

But now honest people have been forced to this point.

"Xie Yan, can you please tell me in detail what happened?"

Xie Yan took out the testimony with his fingerprints from his pocket and read it out word by word. His voice was so clear that it seemed to contain ice and snow, which made people feel cold in their hearts.

After reading, Xie Yan raised his voice and scanned the surrounding villagers with sharp eyes. "Since I settled in Changxi Village, I have been kind to the ancestors of the Qi family and have never treated the neighbors badly. I repaired the house and yard of the Qi family and also took care of their daily food. I don't ask for repayment, but I can't stand the ungrateful return of kindness. I only ask for justice and innocence for my wife."

"If Ming Chao hadn't stood at the door with a kitchen knife in his hand, threatening to kill himself, and if I hadn't noticed something unusual on the way to take Grandma Qi to the clinic, the Qi family's grandson's evil plan would have succeeded."

"Will those rumors be like poisonous needles that pierce the Ming Dynasty and make it so that the Ming Dynasty and the Lu family will never be able to raise their heads again?"

"If a husband cannot protect his wife, he is unworthy of being a man."

"Since we are from the same Changxi Village, I didn't report it directly to the county capital. I have done my best."

"Today, justice must be sought."

"My wife's good name must not be damaged. The truth must be established."

Young Master Sun is completely numb.

Which hunter has such bearing and style, and speaks with reason and logic?

If he was a bit like Xie Yan, his father would support him and might even kick out his eldest brother and hand over the family business to him.

It is said that there is no friendship without fighting. So, can Xie Yan and Tian Xian'er, in view of his cooperation, make peace with him and even better, turn enemies into friends?

He can't learn Xie Yan, but he can own Xie Yan.

Young Master Sun's eyes rolled around, and his mind was busy calculating.

The old village chief coughed twice and looked at the three people tied up in a string. "Is that so?"

Young Master Sun and Ah Xing looked at each other and said passionately, "That's it."

"Qi Rui, what about you?" The old village chief suppressed his displeasure and disgust and asked in a businesslike manner.

Qi Rui shook her head. “No, it’s not like that.”

"Grandpa Village Chief, my grandmother and I depend on each other for survival and we are very careful at all times. How could I be so brave?"

"They colluded to slander me." Qi Rui closed her eyes and spoke nonsense, trying to disturb the already clear water.

Lu Mingchao raised his head from Yunniang's arms, his eyes cold and full of sarcasm, "Using my own reputation to slander you?"

"You deserve it?"

"Village chief, since Qi Rui keeps saying she's innocent, why not hand her over to the authorities?"

"The Lord of Heaven will find out the truth of right and wrong."

Qi Rui's breathing stagnated.

The second young master Sun took the initiative to show his presence. "It was Qi Rui who instigated me with ulterior motives. The other servants in my courtyard can also testify to this."

"If the village chief doesn't believe me, you can ask him anywhere."

"Village Chief, I am willing to apologize and offer compensation to Xie Lu."

"But you must not go easy on Qi Rui, this bitch!"

"She sold herself to my house as a slave, receiving monthly paychecks, but she didn't think of being loyal to her master, and instead used me as a tool."

Lu Mingchao felt strange and glanced at Sun Ershao.

This coordination is a bit too much.

The old village chief took a deep breath and said, "Qi family, what do you think?"

In the crowd, the Qi family members spat and said, "This jinx and that old immortal have nothing to do with our Qi family anymore."

"Don't ask us for any compensation."

"In my opinion, it would be better to expel this old man and child from Changxi Village to avoid embarrassment."

"That's right." Some people kept agreeing.

"Mrs. Qi and her grandson have taken advantage of Xie Yan a lot. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it clearly. But the old and the young are acting like whores and still want to build a memorial archway for themselves, saying that they took care of Xie Yan's children and that this is what they deserve."

"We dare not deal with such a venomous person."

"Why did Mrs. Qi and Qi Rui plot against Xie Yan's bride?"

"Tsk, you don't know this, right? Mrs. Qi wanted to marry her own granddaughter to Xie Yan, but Xie Yan refused."

"If you plot against Xie Yan's bride, then Qi Rui will have another chance."

"So, the young lady of the Lu family also suffered a disaster. How pitiful."

"Where is Mrs. Qi?" the old village chief said with a sullen face.

"Village chief, village chief, I'll wait for you at the village entrance." The young man who was eager to do good immediately responded.

Xie Yan frowned slightly. Calculating the time, it was about time for Mrs. Qi to return given her strength.

As expected.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two young men came back with Mrs. Qi in a mighty manner.

"Mrs. Qi, your ancestors severed ties with the Qi family many years ago. We allowed you to live at the foot of the mountain because of the third son of the Qi family."

"Now that you have done something so evil again, and have brought shame to Changxi Village, I, as the head of the village, will represent the entire Changxi Village to expel you and Qi Rui from Changxi Village. You must move out within three days."

Have reverence in your heart and know when to stop.
