Chapter 23: Aunt Cui Came Again (2/2)
“What? If a man entering my house is a toy-boy. There are so many men here, so they are all toy-boys?” Xie Mengxuan said in a cold voice.
Aunt Cui’s face darkened. “We are upright and appear on public occasions. Nevertheless, you’ve stayed in a room with another man for such a long time when Geng Zhishan was not at home. If you don’t follow female virtues, you’ll be drowned to death in a pig cage.”
Upon hearing the pig cage, Xie Mengxuan got angry and stood up. Pointing at them, she roared with anger, “Pig cage? Are you all pigs? Do you have any other way of punishment apart from drowning a girl to death in a pig cage? Well, if you want to be pigs yourselves, then please let me go.”
She directly put everyone on the pan, which made others wear a gloomy look. They were unlikely to grapple with her, but for Aunt Cui, they had to do it.
Full of anger though she was, Aunt Cui kept in mind what she had learned these days. She sneered. “If so, we might as well check whether you are a virgin.”
“How dare you?” Xie Mengxuan’s face paled. Were these people going to confirm her virginity? What for?
Were they so warmhearted to care about Geng Zhishan? No. What was the real intention of Aunt Cui?
Xie Mengxuan was on the alert while Aunt Cui showed a subtle smile. Although she didn’t know the reason why that one asked her to do so, she would still have it done perfectly.
As Aunt Cui waved her hand, three women stood out, appearing full of strength.
Xie Mengxuan tried to dodge. If she was not injured, she would have succeeded in her attempts. However, how could she make it when she was not fully recovered from her injuries? She was like a fish on a cutting board, helpless in front of so many people against her.
Aunt Cui was aware of this, as well. She wore a subtle smile. “It has nothing to do with our emotions. Instead, it’s a matter of your innocence. If you are innocent, there’s no need for worries. Since we are all women, it doesn’t matter whether we make sure.”
Xie Mengxuan had no faith, but with an angry look, she said in a low voice, “Who dares to touch me?”
Her reproach stunned the people in front of her.
However, the face of Aunt Cui turned dim as there was many a slip between the cup and the lip.
She said with anger, “This girl deceived Geng Zhishan and kept a lover behind his back. We have all lost face due to her since we belong to the same village. How can we put up with such conduct? Are we going to let others point at us in the back?”
When Aunt Cui put the interests of the whole village at the front, everyone turned furious.
“Yes! She must have an inspection! If she’s innocent, we’re ready to make an apology and treat her in a good manner in the future.”
More and more people chimed in.
Looking at the villagers around, Xie Mengxuan felt as anxious as a cat on a hot brick. ‘Where are you, Geng Zhishan? Why haven’t you come back yet?’
She was not aware that the first person who appeared in her mind was Geng Zhishan.
“Let’s help her since she’s injured.”
With one order, Aunt Cui, together with the other three women, pressed near her with a grim smile.
