Ji Xinhe looked at Ji Dashan picking up a stick and beating Ding Hui until he crawled around miserably, and snorted lightly, "I always thought our dad was completely useless. This is the first time I’ve seen him so ruthless."
Xiao Bei said angrily, "He only gets ruthless for himself. When has he ever been ruthless for us? Anyway, he still lets Lady Ding bully us, right?"
Ji Xinhe’s gaze was cold, and even the things Xiao Bei understood, how could she not? The main reason Ji Dashan got angry today might not necessarily be because Ding Hui almost lost his mind and took advantage of Lady Ding.
After all, Ji Dashan, who was so selfish and image-conscious, how could he value Lady Ding like a precious gem, going to the point of yelling and killing if someone touched her?
It’s just that this time, in order to resist Ding Hui, Lady Ding rushed out of the house with her clothes disheveled, and attracted all the villagers to watch and laugh. This was a direct insult to Ji Dashan’s face.
Ji Dashan was furious at the moment and naturally wouldn’t treat Ding Hui kindly.
Ding Hui was so scared that he escaped all over the courtyard. Wearing only a thin outer garment on his upper body, he looked extremely embarrassed. Holding his pants in his hand, they would fall off if he loosened his grip just a bit. This was truly a miserable sight.
Unfortunately, the aphrodisiac he took hadn’t worn off yet. He was so restless and desperate to find a woman to sleep with. Unable to find a woman, he had to avoid Ji Dashan’s beating instead.
The villagers watching the drama at the courtyard entrance were all discussing with horrified faces, "What on earth is going on? I heard that Lady Ding had an affair!?"
"That’s Lady Ding’s own younger brother! How could they have an affair?!" An old man with a white beard looked so angry that his face turned green. He had never heard of such an absurd matter in his life. How could he not be angry?
"Who knows? Lady Ding is really shameless. Just look at her and Ding Hui’s disheveled appearance now. Anyone with eyes can see what happened. Just now when Ji Dashan hadn’t come back, Ding Hui was really chasing and pouncing on Lady Ding!"
As soon as these words came out, even the villagers who didn’t believe it before, now looked at Lady Ding and Ding Hui with strange expressions. They didn’t know what to say, but their disgust and contempt couldn’t be hidden.
"Our Yangluo Bay actually has such a scandal. This is truly a disgrace!"
Lady Ding hurriedly tidied her clothes and immediately heard the murmurs and discussions in the crowd. She got so angry that she stomped her feet and cursed, "Who’s talking nonsense here?! I was clearly framed!"
"Ha! Who else could have framed you? Could it be that someone forced you and Ding Hui to do such indecent things?!" Aunt Guixiang had never liked Lady Ding, so she naturally didn’t hesitate to refute her now.
Lady Ding quickly looked up to search in the crowd and saw Ji Xinhe standing there unharmed. With her eyes wide open and trembling, she pointed at Ji Xinhe, "You, you, you ..."
She should have been the one who drank the medicine, but she was fine!
Realizing a little too late, she understood that Ji Xinhe running out of the house angrily and saying Ding Hui chased her away, was deliberately forcing her to leave and luring her into the trap!
Lady Ding only understood at this moment that she had been fooled by this shameless girl again!
However, Ji Xinhe made a wronged expression, "You’re not going to try to frame me again, are you?"
She then took out a handkerchief and wiped the imaginary tears on her face, "It must be my bad luck. Just a few days ago, Dad suddenly mentioned that when I was young, he had arranged a marriage between me and Ding Hui. Since there was a marriage contract, I thought I should marry him, and even my big brother was planning to discuss the marriage with the Ding family. But who would have thought, who would have thought Ding Hui would do such a ridiculous thing, secretly having an affair with his own sister... How could I accept this marriage now?!"
Lady Ding was so angry that she cursed loudly, "Bah! It’s clearly your fault, clearly you’re the shameless girl who deliberately harmed me! That water..."
Ji Xinhe innocently said, "You have to show evidence to back up your words. Today Ding Hui came to develop a relationship with me, and we met in my mom’s room. Everything was prepared by my mom, and I just followed my parents’ wishes. But Ding Hui was very disdainful of me, and even drove me out. I was originally heartbroken and crying on my way back home.
Not long after that, the news that my mom and Ding Hui had an affair spread. It seems that Ding Hui came to see me today, but his real intention was not to drink wine. Mom really ruined me. Today, Ding Hui did such a despicable thing. If I really marry him, what would that make me?"
Lady Ding shivered all over, wanting to refute but not knowing how. Ji Xinhe’s seamless argument left her no room for counterattack. To overthrow Ji Xinhe’s statement, she could only admit to drugging the water. However, she was the one who drugged it, so how could she say it?
Meanwhile, Ji Xinhe was sure that Lady Ding wouldn’t dare to bring up the drugging, so she dared to make up such lies and seal the deal on Lady Ding and Ding Hui’s "scandal".
The villagers all had a look of sudden realization, "So that’s how it is! Poor girl Xin He, her reputation was ruined for no reason."
"Tsk, tsk, I’ve lived my whole life and I’ve never heard of such a disgraceful scandal before. Lady Ding even wanted her stepdaughter to marry her own younger brother whom she had an affair with. This is really...unacceptable!"
Ji Dong directly stepped forward and said angrily, "My sister from the Ji family is not so pathetic to be married to someone as dirty and ugly as him. Even if there was a marriage contract between the Ji and Ding families, I, Ji Dong, would never acknowledge it now. Village Chief, please stand up for my sister and seek justice for her!"
Since there was a marriage contract, it was naturally the parents’ decision. Even the village chief had no right to interfere. But now it’s different. Ding Hui did such a disgraceful thing with his own sister, and openly so, which was a slap in the face for Yangluo Bay. As the village chief of Yangluo Bay, how could he tolerate Ding Hui’s "marriage scam" to taint the innocent girls in his village?
Now it’s no longer a family matter, but a matter of village face, or even a lawsuit in the county office.
The village chief’s face darkened and said solemnly, "This marriage matter is not only something the Ji family can’t accept, even Yangluo Bay cannot accept it! The girls in Yangluo Bay are not so lewd. If you Ding family have any complaints, just let your village chief come to me. We’ll settle it in the public court and see if it’s our village that loses face or Yangluo Bay!"
As soon as the village chief said this, the villagers also started to yell, "Scoundrel Ding Hui! Get out of Yangluo Bay! Get out of Yangluo Bay!"
While yelling, they even threw rotten leaves at him.
Ding Hui was scared to death, and without understanding the situation, he didn’t even have a chance to explain. He just crawled away with his head in his hands.
