Chapter 404 Jade Pendant
“.”
Liang Mingxuan's mind buzzed for a while, his face flushed with anger and he pushed her away: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Bai Yunxian had used up all her strength after saying those words, and her body was trembling slightly. Liang Mingxuan pushed her hard, and she fell to the ground involuntarily.
"Cousin Mingxuan!"
Bai Yunxian burst into tears and looked at him pitifully, "Cousin Mingxuan, how could you do this? Help me up quickly."
Liang Mingxuan pursed his lips, not daring to go forward to help her, and turned around and left in a hurry.
He did not go to Sixth Master's house, but hurried home.
How could he not understand? The Sixth Master's visit to him was simply a pretext.
At that time, he felt something was a little strange. If the Sixth Master really had something to do, he could have gone to his eldest brother and sister-in-law, but why would he go to him?
Liang Mingxuan didn't notice that the jade pendant on his waist accidentally fell to the ground and was tightly grasped by Bai Yunxian.
"Mingxuan! Mingxuan!"
"Ah? Hmm? Sister-in-law!"
Liang Mingxuan's heart was still pounding. He only heard Xu Zhichun after he called him twice and hurried over.
"Sister-in-law, do you have something to ask me?"
Xu Zhichun looked at him with some doubt, thinking that he might be overthinking it. Entertaining so many guests today was very tiring and it was amazing that he had persisted at such a young age. It was normal for him to relax and feel tired now.
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "Ning An was looking for you just now. Why don't you take him back to the study to rest? You don't have anything to do outside. If anyone asks me, just say you and your classmates were discussing academic matters in the study."
After all, the guests have not all left yet, and it would not be appropriate for the host Liang Mingxuan to go back to the room to rest in such a dignified manner. It would be acceptable to have an excuse.
Liang Mingxuan felt warm in his heart, nodded and said "hmm", "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Bai Yunxian acted quickly. He was determined to make a big deal out of this before the guests left. The more people knew about it, the better.
The more people know about it, the harder it will be for the people from the third room to deny it.
This is also what her good aunt taught her.
Although the development of the matter was somewhat different from what her good aunt had expected, it did not seem too far off, because she picked up Liang Mingxuan's jade pendant.
Holding this jade pendant seems to be not much different from holding Liang Mingxuan's handle.
Bai Yunxian covered her face and sobbed pitifully.
Her brother Bai Yunsong stood there in a daze, somewhat dumbfounded, having no idea what was going on.
Her mother, Bai Lan, was also dumbfounded, but she quickly reacted and realized that this was a great opportunity sent by God.
"You must give our family an explanation! Our Yunxian is a good girl, and we can't let your Liang Xiucai bully her for nothing!"
Everyone was stunned, and some couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh out loud.
Relatives and friends were whispering to each other, and everyone in Liangjia Village was so angry that they didn't give them any face.
"Sister-in-law of the Bai family, right? Are you confused? A scholar bullies your daughter? How can you say that!"
"How ridiculous! Our scholar has a bright future. He will surely be worthy of the well-educated and well-mannered daughter of a wealthy family. How is that possible?"
"That's right, this guy should have some self-awareness and stop making a fool of himself."
"Really? I'm dying of laughter!"
Relatives and friends couldn't help laughing.
It's not that everyone doesn't give us face, it's just that we can't hold it in any longer.
This is ridiculous!
Bai Yunxian hadn't expected the situation to unfold completely differently than she'd imagined. She was clearly the one who'd been wronged, wasn't she? How precious was a girl's reputation? Even if Mingxuan's cousin was a scholar, could he be free from responsibility for ruining someone else's reputation?
She did all this for him, but he didn't even show up and let these people ridicule her like this.
How could she, a girl, endure all this?
Bai Yunxian, who was originally pretending a bit, felt more and more wronged the more she thought about it, and couldn't help but cry sadly.
Bai Lan's face was also burning, but she was already in a difficult situation and had no choice but to go forward.
"You are bullying me! Too much! My Yunxian is a famous beautiful girl in the whole village. Matchmakers are lining up to propose marriage to her. What's wrong with the scholar? It's normal for the scholar to like her! Liang Minglang, Xu, you two, say something!"
"If you don't give us an explanation today, are you trying to force our Yun Xian to death? My poor child, why is your life so miserable?"
Liang Minglang's face was as gloomy as iron, and he clenched his fists, wishing he could punch someone to death.
He hated such tantrum-throwing women the most in his life, and he felt like punching them whenever he saw them.
Xu Zhichun was also very angry. He gently pulled Liang Minglang and shook his head slightly.
The anger in Liang Minglang's eyes gradually subsided, and he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "This is really outrageous."
How dare they?
Xu Zhichun: "I'll do it."
Xu Zhichun stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law Bai, what you two are saying is interesting. You are singing the same tune. It's not that easy to rely on my Mingxuan."
"What do you mean? You—"
"Catch the thief and seize the stolen goods, catch the adulterer and the couple, what else? Whatever you say is true?"
Liang Lizheng sneered: "Mrs. Xu is right! It's totally unreasonable!"
"That's right, whatever you say is what it is. If that's the case, then everyone can say that the scholar is having an affair with his daughter. Oh, bah, bah, bah, you can't ruin our scholar's reputation like this."
"That's right, who can't speak plainly?"
Bai Lan yelled angrily, "Who said we were just empty talk? Our Yunxian family has a jade pendant! A jade pendant! It's the jade pendant given to us by your scholar!"
Xu Zhichun sneered and looked at Bai Yunxian: "Did our Mingxuan give you a jade pendant?"
Bai Yunxian's face flushed and she didn't dare to look up at Xu Zhichun. She just said "hmm".
Bai Lan raised her eyebrows proudly: "See? I told you so!"
"That's what you said. You said the jade pendant was given to me by my Mingxuan."
"you--"
"Who saw it?"
“.”
"If my Mingxuan really did something to you, and gave you the jade pendant, you didn't keep it properly, but instead came to our house and cried like this in front of everyone. Isn't that strange?"
"Yeah, if you talk about what young people really give each other as gifts, then they should just keep the treasures. Who would cry like this after giving it to someone else's house?"
"That's right!"
Bai Yunxian cried, "I, I was so happy, I just wanted to settle the matter quickly."
"I think you're deliberately trying to make this a big deal so that Mingxuan can admit to this mess, right?"
"I don't!"
"But you're mistaken. Our Mingxuan definitely didn't give you any jade pendant! You must have picked it up, right? But with so many guests here today, how can you be sure it's from our Mingxuan?"
"Do you have any evidence?"
"No, it's slander!"
"If you slander a scholar, you will be beaten with a stick and imprisoned."
