Su Qingyue glanced at Xiao Yuchuan; he was not happy that others were talking like this. Instead, he was furious.
âWhat nonsense are you all talking about!â Xiao Yuchuan said solemnly, âItâs only me who is not worthy of my wife, how can she be unworthy of me?â He coldly scanned the villagers, âRemember, in this life, I only want one woman, my wife, and I will never have a change of heart!â He stared at Liu Xianglianâs face, âLiu family girl, regardless of whether or not you have feelings for me, give up!â
âBrother Chuan, Iâ¦â Liu Xianglian tightly held the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, her face weak and pitiful.
Ding Er began to care for her, âChuan, itâs your good fortune that Liu family girl fancies you, and you still donât cherish itâ¦â
âIf you want to cherish her, go do it yourself.â
âIâd like to, but only if the Liu family girl has eyes for me.â Ding Er pointed at Liu Xianglian, âLook at the way she gazes at you, full of admiration.â
Xiao Yuchuan was not moved by her weak appearance. Instead, he became impatient, âLiu Xianglian, I am a married man, and you are an unmarried girl. Have some shame! If you want to degrade yourself, find someone else and donât cause my wife to misunderstand me.â
Then, he turned to Su Qingyue and showed a pleasing smile, âWife, you must believe me, my heart is absolutely devoted to you and you aloneâ¦â
âOh my, Liu Xianglian really is shameless, blatantly seducing a married man, truly despicableâ¦â As one village woman spoke, many people agreed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Liu Xianglianâs face turned red and she ran away with tears in her eyes and her hand covering her mouth.
âWhatâs wrong with liking someone? Is Liu Xianglian worse than Su Qingyue, a woman who steals other peopleâs husbands?â Xiao Ailiu, hiding behind Xiao Yishan, couldnât help but say, âChuan, second brother, and fourth brother, if you have any dignity left, you should catch Su Qingyue today and soak her in a pig cageâ¦â
âXiao Ailiu, you!â Chuan was furious, the villagersâ words nearly drowned Su Qingyue alive, âYes, corrupting the villageâs atmosphere, such women should be soaked in a pig cage!â
Xiao Ailiu took the lead in shouting, âCapture Su Qingyue and soak her in a pig cage!â
âCapture herâ¦â
âTake her awayâ¦â
âYou are all too lawless and godlessâ¦â Wang Cuihua spoke up indignantly, âSoaking in a pig cage can kill someone; are you not afraid of heavenly retribution for wronging Qingyue?â
Aunt Zhang also chimed in, âQingyue is not that kind of personâ¦â
Xiao Yuchuan was furious, pushing away the crowd, âMy wife would never steal someoneâs husband! This is a matter for the Xiao family, all of you get lost!â
Xiao Yishan also sternly stated, âEveryone get out, Xiao family business is none of your concern!â
âI believe my wife is not that kind of person, all of you are falsely accusing her!â Xiao Qingheâs eyes also turned red with anger.
Seeing this, Su Qingyue truly felt the horror of the damage to oneâs reputation and public opinion in ancient times, âA bunch of ignorant fools!â Apart from her own three men, Cuihua, and Aunt Zhang, not one sensible person could be found in the crowd.
Her voice was clear and melodious, like a songbird emerging from a valley. Her sweet voice was very audible amidst the clamorous debate.
âWhat are you saying!â Aunt Qi scolded, âYou already have three men and still dare to curse others?â
âIf theyâre not stupid, why would they so easily believe your words, Aunt Qi, and take them as the truth after a few spits of saliva?â Su Qingyue coldly glanced at the people present, âIâm too lazy to explain to you, regardless of what I say about my relationship with Li Gui, even if I talk till my throat is sore, I would still be drowned by your saliva. See for yourself!â
