Liang Weimin looked at the villagers gathered around him, then glanced at the niece who cried so hard she could scarcely catch her breath. He also became anxious.

“Yun Xi, tell Uncle what on Earth happened to you. Uncle will make things right for you.”

He had never seen her cry like this ever since she had become sensible. Even when she had been bullied outside of the home, she never had told him much. She was so sensible, it was heartbreaking to watch.

She must’ve suffered great indignation for her to cry like that!

“Uncle…” Grabbing on to Liang Weimin’s s.h.i.+rt hem, Yun Xi wiped her tears away as she purposely looked in Chen Lixue and Liang Danyi’s directions like she was hesitant to speak.

At that moment, how could Liang Weimin not have noticed that his own wife and daughter must’ve bullied Yun Xi once again?

Yun Xi noticed her uncle realize this, but she wasn’t stupid enough to make her uncle think that this was just a small quibble between two sisters.

She intended to make this incident a big deal since escalating the situation would result in entertaining drama.

“Auntie and Cousin tricked me. They said that my Grandfather in Jingdu had sent someone here to bring me home. But halfway there, they pushed me off the cliff, and I climbed back up from the bottom of the cliff…”

Perhaps she should have thanked them for certain aspects since she wouldn’t have had the opportunity to be reborn again if they hadn’t harmed her!

“What?” Liang Weimin’s expression instantly darkened, his cold eyes glancing toward Chen Lixue.

“She’s speaking nonsense!” Chen Lixue also panicked. All the neighbors and fellow villages were watching. Even if she didn’t care about losing face, Old Liang the Village Princ.i.p.al still cared about saving face!

“Who knows if the girl didn’t just run off somewhere to play and ended up falling off? How could anyone ever harm their own child?! No matter what, you’re still my niece. Would I ever do such an evil thing?”

Well said. No one would harm their own child. Chen Lixue really dared to say anything as long as she could clear herself from suspicion.

Yun Xi would’ve really believed Chen Lixue’s lies if she hadn’t witnessed it all for herself!

“I didn’t! Auntie, you clearly wanted Cousin to replace me and go back to the Yun family in Jingdu. You took the opportunity to push me off when we were on the way to Muyang! Since you’re saying you weren’t the one to do it, shall we call Cousin back here and confront her in person to clear this all up?!”
