Because a wealthy businessman had built a road and a school, the villagers had great respect for businessmen to begin with.

Even though this man was only a stranger, his outfit and extraordinary temperament carried the best commanding power. As soon as Qi Yuan opened his mouth, all the other villagers also found their courage to help Yun Xi.

“Village Princ.i.p.al, you can see how badly Yun Xi was injured. If it wasn’t for someone intending to harm her, how could she have fallen off a cliff?!”

“That’s right! Attempted murder isn’t a trivial matter; there will be a second try if there was a first try!”

“Old Liang, if your wife really pushed Yun Xi off a cliff, then our fellow villagers really have to be careful from now on!”

“That’s right! Who would want to be neighbors with such an evil person?! Who knows if we’ll be victimized someday, too?!”

All the villagers began to clamor and point their fingers as they pushed the blame on Chen Lixue.

Chen Lixue wasn’t the only one panicking then; even Liang Weimin was nervous, too.

The more anxious Chen Lixue became, the more vehemently she denied the accusations!

As long as she refused to admit she had done this, then it would be merely Yun Xi’s words against hers! Without any evidence, Yun Xi couldn’t do anything to her!

Also, Yun Xi hadn’t even died, so how serious of a crime could this have been?

“What are you all clamoring about?! Who attempted murder? Is there any evidence? Don’t get involved just because that wretched girl is speaking nonsense! How is this any of your business?”

A soft person feared a hard approach, and a hard person feared an aggressive approach. Aggressive people only feared those who had nothing to lose.

If Chen Lixue didn’t act more aggressively, then they would really think she was guilty!

Chen Lixue had lived in Yang Village for so many years, but this was the first time she had faced public accusations like this. She glared daggers at Yun Xi and wanted nothing more but to stab her to death!

Yun Xi was really a little b*tch! Chen Lixue had raised her all those years, but she was actually so ungrateful!

She scanned around at the villagers who were eager to watch the commotion and escalate the situation, her eyes full of indignation.

“Also, isn’t she well and alive right now? This wretched girl is speaking nonsense, so what’s the meaning of you people pus.h.i.+ng all the blame on me?!”

Liang Weimin’s blood ran cold when he watched Chen Lixue’s fearless face like she wasn’t concerned at all.

After fiercely glancing at Chen Lixue, he immediately dragged her back inside.
