Chapter 63: The wife of the wife catches an adulterer
The guys shouted and swarmed up. A cold light flashed in Shang Wan’s eyes, and he looked like a ghost. In just a blink of an eye, all the guys were lying on the ground and howling miserably.
The woman covering her face and crying was so scared that she shrank to the corner, folded her arms and shivered.
The shopkeeper of the rice shop was so angry that his face was livid. They were a bunch of trash, and they couldn't even beat a woman!
"Stone," Shang Wan said coldly as he helped Lu Chengjing clean the wound and stop the bleeding, "whatever caused your brother-in-law's injury, I will pay him back double."
"Okay." Shitou agreed and strode towards the shopkeeper.
"How dare you! I belong to the eldest young master!" The shopkeeper glared at Shitou and threatened, "If you hurt me, the eldest young master will not let you go!"
Shitou paused hesitantly, and Shang Wan ordered: "Do it."
Shitou didn't hesitate anymore and rushed forward to fight with the shopkeeper.
He beat him hard. The shopkeeper was old, and he was too greedy for enjoyment and neglected to exercise. How could he be a match for the young man?
Shitou pulled the shopkeeper's hair and hit it hard against the sharp corner of the stone bucket. The shopkeeper suddenly howled miserably, and blood flowed from the hole on his head, covering half of his face. There was no trace of the arrogance just now. ?
Keeping in mind that there were two holes in the stone, he pulled up the shopkeeper's hair with a cold face and hit the stone bucket again without blinking an eye.
"Ah!" The shopkeeper howled as fiercely as if he were slaughtering a pig. His eyesight turned black and blood flowed even more.
If the fight continues like this, lives will be lost. Someone in the crowd saw something was wrong and hurriedly ran to report to the official.
The people watching were in an uproar.
"Didn't you bring harm to that young girl holding the baby? Why did you start beating her up?"
"Looking at me, it looks like the wife of the wife is here to catch an adulterer."
"You laughed at me. Didn't you listen to what the girl said just now? She was resting well in the house, but the young man broke in and did something inappropriate to her. The rape must be consensual, right?"
"But what the young master just said makes sense. Is there any misunderstanding?"
"Is there any misunderstanding? There are too many people in this world with human faces and animal hearts."
The people were all talking about anything. Shang Wan listened and laughed.
The person behind the plan wants to ruin Lu Chengjing's reputation. Can he come up with a clever way?
How could Lu Chengjing do such a thing if he was so embarrassed that he would almost spontaneously combust after being kissed on the face?
Well, to put it another way, even if he had the intention, he doesn't have the conditions.
The injury on his leg hasn't healed yet, so he can't let Xiaohuan and Stone carry him, right? There is also a round shape here.
"I didn't." Lu Chengjing grabbed Shang Wan's sleeves and explained hurriedly, ignoring the dizziness in his head, his face so pale that it seemed transparent.
"Okay, okay, don't get excited." Shang Wan pinched the back of his neck twice soothingly, and then said after he relaxed, "I know you don't. If you feel uncomfortable, just stop talking. I believe you."
Hearing the last three words, Lu Chengjing relaxed and fainted just as he raised the corners of his lips.
Xiaohuan exclaimed: "Sister, my brother-in-law fainted!"
"It's okay. His body is already weak. He hit his head and bleeded. It would be strange if he didn't faint." Shang Wan took away the handkerchief and found that the injury on Lu Chengjing's forehead had stopped bleeding. He thought that the spiritual spring water was the best thing.
She folded the handkerchief and put it into her sleeve, glanced at the woman huddled in the corner, and said to Xiaohuan: "Before the official comes, tell me the whole thing first."
Xiaohuan shook Yuanyuan, who was sleeping tired from crying in her arms, and said softly: "Half an hour ago, we were driving a bullock cart..."
Half an hour ago, Lu Chengjing and his party drove an ox cart to East Street. Xiaohuan went to various rice shops to ask about prices, and found that the prices of rice and noodles were almost the same.
After some discussion, the three decided to buy it at Lu's Rice Shop.
Lu's Rice Shop is opposite Lufeng Rice Shop. Shitou parked the oxcart and carried Lu Chengjing off the cart. Xiaohuan was responsible for holding Yuanyuan and walked into Lu's Rice Shop. While the clerk was loading food, shopkeeper Ge from Lufeng Rice Shop sent someone to invite Lu Chengjing over, saying they had something to discuss.
Lufeng Rice Shop is the property of the Lu family, and shopkeeper Ge is from Lu Chengyuan. Lu Chengjing originally thought that Lu Chengyuan had something to do with him, so after thinking for a moment, he agreed to go.
Lu Chengjing was not good at walking, Shitou and Xiaohuan were worried, so they naturally followed him.
Shopkeeper Ge invited Lu Chengjing to talk in the backyard, and asked the waiter to entertain Shitou and Xiaohuan in the cubicle, and prepared a lot of refreshments.
Xiaohuan picked up a piece of date cake and fed it to Yuanyuan, but Yuanyuan, who liked sweetness, put her little head aside and refused to eat.
When Xiaohuan wanted to eat it by herself, Yuanyuan suddenly stretched out her little hand and knocked the jujube cake out of her hand, shaking her head at Xiaohuan.
Xiaohuan was suspicious and did not touch the refreshments. She called Shitou and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the waiter.
The stone entangled the boy and asked Xiaohuan to go to the backyard to find Lu Chengjing. Someone came to stop Xiaohuan on the way, but was scratched in the face by an orange cat that suddenly jumped out.
Yuanyuan seemed to feel something, broke free from Xiaohuan's hand, and climbed quickly towards the side room.
Xiao Huan hurriedly followed and saw Shopkeeper Ge coming out of the side room. Just as she was about to ask Shopkeeper Ge where Lu Chengjing was, Yuanyuan called out to the side room for daddy.
Shopkeeper Ge stopped Xiao Huan from letting her in. The scratching orange cat just now ran out again, jumped up and jumped on Shopkeeper Ge's face. Xiao Huan took the opportunity to hold Yuanyuan and push the door in.
There was a strange smell in the room, and some women's clothes were scattered on the floor.
Behind the screen, Lu Chengjing was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. The woman next to him, with her hair disheveled and wearing only a small coat, was reaching out to untie Lu Chengjing's belt.
Seeing Xiao Huan barging in, the woman screamed, grabbed her coat and ran out. It was too late for Xiao Huan to stop her.
Rumors spread quickly, Shitou came over and wanted to take Lu Chengjing away first, but it was already too late.
The woman just now was the sister of Fang Bao, the rice shop clerk. Shopkeeper Ge claimed that Lu Chengjing had harmed the girl and wanted to arrest Lu Chengjing and send him to the official.
Of course Shitou and Xiaohuan refused, and everyone pushed and pushed them. A group of wild cats came from nowhere and chased and scratched the Mipu people.
Shitou and Xiaohuan were overjoyed and wanted to take Lu Chengjing away, but Lu Chengjing woke up. Although his mind was still a little confused, Lu Chengjing knew that he couldn't leave now. The stigma of leaving would never be washed away.
Lu Chengjing proposed to confront the woman, but shopkeeper Ge deliberately made the matter bigger and asked the two of them to explain the matter clearly in the store, attracting a group of people to watch.
Facing Lu Chengjing's questions, the women didn't answer and just cried softly.
The woman's eyes were full of spring, and there were several red marks on her exposed neck. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what happened at a glance, and they all accused Lu Chengjing.
Of course, Xiaohuan and Shitou couldn't just watch, so they tried their best to help Lu Chengjing speak. Shopkeeper Ge asked the clerk to arrest the two of them on the grounds that they had destroyed things in the store, and they would be sent to prison together later.
Fang Bao stepped forward angrily and pushed Lu Chengjing, which was exactly what Shang Wan saw when he squeezed into the crowd. Shang Wan knew everything that happened after that.
After Xiaohuan finished speaking, Shang Wan frowned and clicked his tongue.
Although this situation was not carefully considered, in this world, if it was not handled well, Lu Chengjing's reputation would be ruined.
She retracted her words. Although this method was not clever, it was cruel enough. If the stigma is realized, Lu Chengjing will never be able to pursue an official career in his life.
