Chapter 834 The Truth
"What can I do to him? You saw what he did to my pigs! My family is going to have a wedding to marry our daughter-in-law today, and she is a hero of the whole village. And you are slandering me like this?" The old woman sat on the ground and began to slap her legs and cry.
"If it weren't for Lanzhi, we wouldn't be able to find her in the village..." Before she could finish her words, the young man behind her covered her mouth.
The village chief glanced at everyone, his eyes moved slightly, and his expression was very majestic.
"Hurry up and drag this evil creature away. Don't let him be tainted by bad luck on today's happy event!" The village chief looked at the man on the ground viciously, feeling furious and furious.
This man is the most scoundrel in his daily life. He eats both meat and vegetables. Many girls in the village have suffered at his hands.
Today, you actually dared to attack the sacrifice.
The man was dragged out, leaving a hideous bloodstain all over the ground.
There were red double happiness stickers everywhere inside and outside the courtyard, which looked festive but also had a sense of... weirdness.
"Sister Lanzhi, I sneaked out. This is a wedding gift for you." Yuanjun carefully took out the gold leaf and gold ingots from her arms, which amounted to a total of two hundred taels of silver.
"You left in such a hurry. When I was a child, my father said he wanted to give you some makeup. I still remember it. But you came in such a hurry that I didn't have time to ask for it."
Lanzhi pursed her lips, as if she was thinking of something, and a hint of hostility appeared in her eyes.
A man came in from outside the door. He looked a bit old, but he looked at Lanzhi with joy and caution.
"Lanzhi, the wedding is about to begin."
Lanzhi nodded lightly, without much joy in her brows.
"You have come all the way here to attend my wedding, Yuanjun. Let's dress up together today and send me off happily and grandly." Lanzhi said with a smile.
Yuanjun pursed her lips and said, "Sister Lanzhi, what nonsense are you talking about? The wet nurse treated me very well, and she died because of me. It's my duty for me to treat you well." She held Lanzhi affectionately, which was also the reason why she was very nice to Lanzhi.
On the anniversary of Yuanjun's mother's death, she went to the temple to pray for her mother.
But halfway through the journey, he realized that the eulogy he had written for his mother all night was missing, so the wet nurse went back to get it herself.
But he never came back after that.
When he was found, he had drowned in the river. Probably because he was in too much of a hurry, he accidentally fell into the water.
This also led to Yuanjun being particularly tolerant towards Lanzhi. Before leaving, she even had a quarrel with her father for Lanzhi.
My father promised to give me a dowry, but now he is unwilling to give it anymore.
"I think mother will be happy to see it." Lanzhi squeezed her hand, and Yuanjun and Lu Chaochao were led to the next room to dress up.
Several women in the room looked at Yuanjun and Lu Chaochao. One of the women with a round face pointed at Yuanjun and said, "Is this the one?"
"No, no, she's too young. She doesn't even look like an adult yet."
"This one is almost the same, with an excellent appearance and a graceful figure." The woman looked at Lu Chaochao with satisfaction and walked around her in a circle, as if she was examining a piece of merchandise.
The thin woman next to him frowned: "Lanzhi decided it."
"Even though she brought it back, what if something bad happens to the village? Okay, both of you send it over."
Yuanjun was uneasy: "What do you mean? Where is Sister Lanzhi? I want to see Sister Lanzhi."
The door slammed shut.
Yuan Jun looked at them fiercely and shouted, "What do you want to do? My father is an official here, why don't you open the door quickly!"
"I am the only daughter in the family. If anything happens to me, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
"If you open the door, I'll pretend nothing happened!" She stood in front of Lu Chaochao, her little hands clenched into fists nervously, but still did not step back.
The women looked at each other, with a hint of fear in their expressions.
"No, we can't open the door. We are in a remote and poor place. During the chaos in the world, our village was not discovered. If we let her leave, we will invite disaster!"
"As long as she dies here, who will know?"
"Little girl, we might as well tell you. We are marrying a bride for the mountain god. It is a blessing for you to serve the mountain god."
Hearing the undisguised words of the few people at this moment, Yuan Jun panicked: "Let Lanzhi come over! She and I are like sisters, let Lanzhi come over!!"
The women laughed: "Lanzhi? She was the one who sent you here. What do you want to see her for?"
"She said that you have a very good fortune. If she gave you to the mountain god, he would definitely be satisfied."
Yuanjun staggered, gritting his teeth, his eyes full of disbelief: "Impossible, I treat Lanzhi as a sister, she has everything I have, how could she treat me like this? Are you intimidating her? Are you threatening her?"
With a creak, the door opened.
Lanzhi, who was supposed to be wearing wedding clothes, was not wearing any makeup and walked in holding two wedding clothes.
"You guys stand guard at the door." She said softly, and the women retreated outside.
Yuanjun couldn't understand what was happening, and tears started to fall down her cheeks: "Lanzhi, are you blaming me for harming the nurse?"
Lanzhi couldn't help but laugh out loud, with a look of sarcasm and coldness in her eyes: "I guess the master hasn't told you about mother yet?"
"Yes, he protected you very well. You lost your mother when you were young, and he didn't want you to lose the love of your wet nurse again. At least, he would rather let you live in the illusion that your wet nurse loves you than tell you the truth." She looked at Yuan Jun with malice. Why should Yuanjun be protected like this?
"My mother did not return home to offer sacrifices. She stole the lady's belongings and sold them. The master caught her red-handed and she was thrown into the river and died!"
Yuanjun's face suddenly turned pale, completely bloodless.
Steal, mother's relics?
"You said you and I were like sisters, and you wanted to take care of me even though I lost my mother. Ha, what a joke..."
"I wash my hands and cook for the master every day, and you, all day long, instigate him to marry a stepmother! If you could speak up for me, how could the master drive me out?"
"You would rather have someone else be your stepmother than me, and you still talk about good sisters!" Lanzhi's face was full of resentment, and she almost hated her.
Yuanjun looked at her blankly. Sister Lanzhi, with a face full of hatred, was no longer the same as she remembered.
Suddenly I remembered that day when she ran back to her room crying, looking at me with some resentment in her eyes. She originally thought that she was to blame for causing her to lose her mother.
Thinking about it now, she was wearing a thin pink skirt that day, and her fair skin could almost be vaguely seen through the skirt.
"You, went to your father's room that day!!"
"So, you wanted to leave the next day?!" Yuan Jun looked at her coldly.
Lanzhi couldn't help but sneer: "If he hadn't cared about you, he would have thrown me out of the house that day! He even forbad me to tell you the truth..." That day, she took off her clothes and hid in his bed.
But he dragged her out naked and threw her out. The way the servant looked at her made her feel extremely humiliated!
"I treat you as my own sister, but you want to be my stepmother?!" Yuan Jun suddenly jumped up...
