Chapter 17 (2/2)

“I am still the son of the clan elder! What I witnessed is still evidence! Just you wait. I’ll make you go to jail, no matter what!”

“You, you…”

Chen Lixue couldn’t continue lying to herself and others, so she wailed as she grabbed Liang Weimin.

“Old Liang, can’t you say something?! You can’t possibly want me to go to jail, too?”

Liang Weimin looked at Chen Lixue, who was so thick-skinned even bullets couldn’t get through to her. He had truly lost all face before the villagers today.

Liang Weimin viciously shoved Chen Lixue’s hand away, his expression ruthless. “Yun Xi is my niece. How could you do such a thing?!”

How could he not have seen what Chen Lixue was plotting?

She was trying to allow her own daughter to replace her niece and enjoy a life of luxury. How could she scheme such a thing?

“Old Liang! Don’t believe the nonsense they’re spouting. I’m your wife! Won’t you help me?”

Chen Lixue was frantic and angry after seeing Liang Weimin disrespect her before all those other people. She was deathly afraid that Yun Xi the little b*tch would really make her go to jail!

“Chen Lixue, I’m telling you that I won’t let this incident go! I’ll make you pay later on!”

Liang Weimin snorted derisively before sternly warning Chen Lixue. He then turned around to look at Qi Yuan, who was standing on the side.

“Brother, thank you for rescuing Yun Xi. I’m afraid I can’t repay you for your great kindness—”

Qi Yuan didn’t allow him to finish speaking before reaching out to interrupt, “That’s not necessary. We did rescue her, but she also saved our Master last night. Come to think of it, this young girl is our savior right now.”

“She saved your Master?”

Liang Weimin’s mentality as a small-time villager gave him a natural sense of respect and awe toward those holding higher rank than him.

“That’s right. Since she’s our savior, we cannot allow her to suffer from wrongdoings either. The situation is already very clear. As the Village Princ.i.p.al, you cannot protect this criminal!”

Qi Yuan was finally able to clearly see it all now. The uncle was useless, the aunt was evil, and this young girl had probably suffered immense amounts of bullying from this household.
