“Son, my son…”
Old Madam Chen was still shouting in the direction of the bailiffs as if she was mourning.
When she heard that not only would her son’s title as a child scholar be lost, but it would also be difficult for him to take the Imperial Examination in the future, she immediately cried even harder.
Then, she thought of something and pointed at Liu Yuanyuan. “Yes, you, you are all jinxes. It’s all because of you that my son was arrested,” she scolded.
After cursing, she rushed forward like a madman. Her eyes were about to pop out, and she looked terrifying.
Liu Yuanyuan shivered. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts as she was embarrassed and angry.
Lin Xiujuan went up and slapped Old Madam Chen. “Your son deserves to be arrested! What has it got to do with my daughter? My daughter is truly unlucky to be related to your family!”
The surrounding people also criticized Old Madam Chen.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli sneered. “Your son indeed did this because of a woman. Stop fighting.”
Zhou Xiaoli spoke unhurriedly. Her gaze slowly fell on Lu Huahua, who had been hiding in the dark and observing quietly. She stretched out her hand and pointed. “But it’s not the Liu family’s daughter. Moreover, because of her…” Everyone immediately followed Zhou Xiaoli’s hand and looked over, only to see a frightened Lu Huahua.
“The human traffickers had already confessed that Chen Dakun and Lu Huahua had hooked up and wanted to cancel the engagement with the Liu family. However, Chen Dakun thought too highly of himself and felt that he was a
child scholar. He did not want to take the initiative to cancel the engagement as that may ruin his reputation. Therefore, he discussed with Lu Huahua and came up with a way to ruin her innocence.”
Zhou Xiaoli slowly explained what had happened. The surrounding people were shocked and angry.
They had never seen such a vicious person.
Lin Xiujuan scolded Lu Huahua for being indecent. If she wasn’t worried about her daughter, she would have rushed forward and torn her apart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLu Huahua was shocked and furious. “You, you’re slandering me. I, I didn’t…” After all, she was still young. Lu Huahua felt guilty even as she retorted.
In the end, she couldn’t take it anymore and ran away with her face covered.
Zhou Xiaoli glanced at Old Madam Chen. Seeing that she was not surprised at all, she knew that the latter had long known that her son had hooked up with Lu Huahua.
At this moment, Old Madam Chen roared, “Lu Huahua is a little b*tch, but it’s all because your daughter is incompetent and made my son disinterested.
That’s why he was seduced by a vixen and made such a huge mistake…”
Zhou Xiaoli and the surrounding onlookers were also shocked by Old Madam Chen’s shameless words.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli said, “On our way back, we heard that the county magistrate was very angry at the human traffickers for kidnapping people. He ordered all the criminals involved to be sent to the border to serve their sentence. Old Madam Chen, if you don’t hurry to see your son, perhaps you may never see him again.”
Her words were effective. Old Madam Chen immediately panicked. She shouted, “My son.” Then, she cried and headed towards the county city.
The matter was temporarily settled.
Zhou Yu and Liu Liangcai thanked the villagers who had helped them in the search all night and brought their girl home.
After returning home, they were faced with a series of questions. Zhang Lan held Zhou Xiaoli in her arms and reprimanded Chen Dakun for his evil deeds.
After this incident, Liu Yuanyuan locked herself in her room.
Lin Xiujuan was filled with regret. She blamed herself for not discovering the ugly side of the Chen family sooner.
As for Lu Huahua, who seduced someone else’s fiancé, her life was not easy either.
Her reputation had been tarnished. Her entire family was criticized by the villagers because of this. Now, they hid at home and did not dare to go out.
With this reputation, she would probably not be able to get married in the future.
However, things didn’t end then.
A few days later, Old Madam Chen came over and quarreled with the Lu family.
Old Madam Chen scolded Lu Huahua for being a little vixen who seduced others. She had caused her son to be beaten up and was now bedridden. She wanted the Lu family to compensate her with 20 taels of silver to treat her son.
Naturally, the Lu family was unwilling, so they started arguing.
During the argument, the reason why Lu Huahua seduced Chen Dakun was also revealed. Since Liu Yuanyuan always listens to whatever Chen Dakun said, she first got close to Chen Dakun and wanted to make use of him to compel Liu Yuanyuan to steal the secret recipe of making sugar for her.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yuanyuan listens to Chen Dakun in all aspects, but she would never agree to steal the secret recipe of making sugar.
That was what happened.
The Lu family did not pay, so Old Madam Chen came to the village every day to cause trouble. The two families quarreled for a few days before it ended with Lu Huahua being diagnosed as pregnant.
The next day, Old Madam Chen’s attitude changed 180 degrees. She said that as long as Lu Huahua married into the Chen family, this matter would be over.
Although Old Madam Lu was not a good person, she doted on her daughter. She felt that the Chen family was a wolf’s den. Even if her daughter could never marry in the future, they could not marry her to the Chen family. However, Lu Huahua was determined and insisted on marrying him.
Hence, Lu Huahua married into the Chen family.
The marriage ceremony was completed hurriedly without a betrothal gift or dowry. A month later, rumors spread that Lu Huahua had a miscarriage.
When others saw Lu Huahua again, she was in a delirious state. She ran back to the Lu family in a crazed manner to ask for help. Ever since this incident, Old Madam Lu had fallen ill. Now that the Lu family was controlled by her eldest daughter-in-law, she chased Lu Huahua out and even called Chen Dakun to take her away.
When she saw Chen Dakun again, Zhou Xiaoli was shocked.
Chen Dakun no longer looked like a scholar then. He had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were sunken. His eyes were fierce, and he looked like a fiend.
Rumors were that Lu Huahua had a miscarriage because of him.
‘I’SR tsk.
Zhou Xiaoli clicked her tongue and said without much emotion, “I heard that
Chen Dakun lost his ability to bear children after he was beaten as punishment.
After that, he became violent and unpredictable. Lu Huahua has suffered the consequences of her own actions.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, her vision went dark. A pair of hands blocked her vision. Wei Chiyu’s pleasant voice rang out beside her ear. “Stop looking. It’s dirty.”
Zhou Xiaoli could not help but smile and nodded naturally. “Alright, I won’t look at him anymore.”
The late autumn wind was somewhat chilly, and Zhou Xiaoli subconsciously hugged herself tightly. A cloak landed on her suddenly.
Zhou Xiaoli could not help but smile. The two of them walked side by side to their new house.
The two houses were already built. The furniture that she had customized earlier was also completed and placed inside the house. They would be able to move in soon.
“We still have to hold a housewarming banquet. The new house has to have guests coming in and out so it would be better for the occupants to stay in it,” Zhou Xiaoli thought out loud.
“But I don’t have any relatives or friends.”
Wei Chiyu spoke at the right time, and there was a trace of pity in his tone.
She turned around and saw Wei Chiyu’s amber eyes looking at her. It seemed empty but at the same time, the way he looked at her was that of an abandoned kitten.
Zhou Xiaoli sighed. She couldn’t stand the way he looked at her.
She reached out to stroke him, but in the end, she held back. “Then let’s do it together with my family.”
Soon, the day of the housewarming banquet arrived.
Only close friends and family were invited. Although there were not many people, the atmosphere was very lively.
Zhang Lan and Zhou Yu stood at the door and welcomed the guests with smiles on their faces. Zhou Junjun had also taken leave from his teacher today and stood beside Zhou Yu to greet the guests.
Everyone who came in praised him for his good manners.
Zhou Xiaoyu, the wild one, had already run out to play with a few children.
Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu, on the other hand, sat leisurely in a corner, drinking tea. It was really comfortable.
Everything was perfect.
Until an uninvited guest arrived..
