"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"That's right, don't think that you can bully us girls just because you have more people."

There are many villagers with conscience, and most of them speak in favor of Wen Meijiu.

This made Liu Kerong very anxious. Seeing everyone's angry faces, she hurriedly urged Agu to speak faster.

"What evidence? Tell me!"

Agu ignored everyone's words and said confidently:

"Miss Wen has a dagger that can cut through iron like mud. It's well made. I wonder if anyone has seen it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Wen Meijiu.

Wen Meijiu unconsciously touched the dagger hidden on her waist. If she denied it at this moment, it would make things even more obvious.

She would often take out this dagger when she was in danger, and her fellow villagers had all seen it more or less.

"What's the matter?"

Wen Meijiu took back her hand with a calm expression. She wanted to see how this Agu would frame her. She had really underestimated this Agu in the past.

"Humph, what's the matter? If I'm not mistaken, Miss Wen has already given this dagger to my master as a token of love."

Wen Meijiu wondered what Agu was going to say, but this was easy to deal with, the dagger was on her and she could take it out at any time to prove her innocence.

"Well, you mean this dagger?"

Wen Meijiu took out the dagger from his waist, turned it around in front of everyone, and then asked Agu:

"How can you say that? The thing is on me!"

Everyone who was worried about Wen Meijiu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, what Agu said was all lies, otherwise Wen Meijiu would have secretly married someone and would have been sentenced to death for this crime alone.

"What else do you have to say?"

The village chief took advantage of the victory and tried to make this Agu shut up. After that, he would have a good discussion with Art on how to deal with this Agu appropriately. He was too unruly.

"That's right, the village chief can't let him go. He spread rumors and almost ruined the reputation of our fine wine. According to our rules, beating him with thirty sticks is considered light."

Liu Kerong was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly pulled Agu beside her and asked him why he was so unreliable.

Agu was full of confidence. He was not moved by Wen Meijiu's explanation, nor was he afraid of the threats from the village chief and the crowd. Instead, he laughed loudly and said:

"Humph, since it's a token of trust, of course we exchanged it. The trick of warming up the wine can only fool others, but it's a bit childish to fool me, Agu.

Do you dare to open the dagger? "

"Why don't you dare?"

Wen Meijiu acted uprightly and immediately removed the dagger's outer shell, revealing the dagger's sharp blade.

"Ah——" The moment she saw the dagger, she screamed in surprise and didn't close her mouth for a long time.

Someone had replaced the core of her dagger. The inside had become something else and was one section shorter. Only the handle was almost the same as hers, which was black. If you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't tell.

"Well, Miss Wen, what do you have to say now?

If it weren't for our master, I would have lost my patience with your fickle behavior.

It's true that our master likes you, but that doesn't mean you can bully him."

The filling had been replaced, which was something Wen Meijiu had not expected. She racked her brains to recall when Art had done it.

Suddenly, she remembered that she had lent the dagger to Art, and he must have done something wrong at that time.

"Stop talking, there's something wrong here, go get Art over here for me."

Wen Meijiu was a little angry. She stopped Agu from continuing his nonsense and turned to Qi Wenjing beside her and said.

"Hey, I'll go right away."

"Miss Wen is afraid. Now the evidence is irrefutable. If you still don't admit it, I will produce new evidence."

As he spoke, Agu reached into his arms, where was another dagger, which was left with him by Art for safekeeping.

"No need to go, I'm coming."

Just when Agu was about to take it out, there was a sound behind him. Art came over with a serious expression, put his hand on Agu's chest, and shook his head slightly at him.

"Master, we can't be bullied like this anymore. Didn't you hear what they called us? They said we were traitors, but Miss Wen never said a good word for us and even chased us away.

Why did they call us traitors? It’s because of Wen…”

"Shut up, this is no reason for you to hurt her."

Agu tried to struggle again, but Art slapped him in the face and he fell to the side.

Agu looked back at him in disbelief. The two grew up together. Although they were master and servant, their relationship was better than that of brothers.

At this moment, Agu couldn't understand why Art acted like a master towards him just for a woman.

"Yes."

Agu was sad, but he still stood up straight and replied to Art, no longer as arrogant as before.

“If you have any questions, Miss Wen, just let me know.

I, Art, will now follow your lead, and everyone else will also have to obey your orders. Anyone who disobeys will be severely punished, even if they are my brothers."

After beating Agu, Art clasped his hands together towards Wen Meijiu, bowed his head and looked submissive.

Everyone at the scene was stunned. No one understood what was wrong with this dagger that was said to be a token of love.

Why is it that the token of love that Agu mentioned is actually on Wen Meijiu, and why is he still so confident?

Wen Meijiu was surprised and shocked.

What was surprising was that Art would say that; what was shocking was that he actually beat Agu. Everyone along the way knew that he and his men were as close as brothers.

Closing her slightly open lips, Wen Meijiu looked around. Everyone's eyes were full of inquiry and curiosity. They were probably waiting for her to explain what the problem was.

"Miss Wen, I was ignorant before. I coveted your beauty and loved to show off, so I told my brothers that you liked me too and lied that I gave you your most beloved dagger.

I didn't expect that a small joke I made would cause the girl to suffer such a great injustice and also affect her reputation.

Here, I apologize to you and admit my mistake. I will accept any punishment you want. I just hope the girl won't chase us away."

"Master, there is really no need for us to be so humble. There are many good girls in the world. Why do you have to ruin yourself and help her?"

Agu had a sad face and reached out to pull Ate, but was pushed aside by Ate's elbow.

"Shut up. I'll settle the score with you when I get back."

Art was really angry and growled at Agu. Agu shut up instantly, his face full of resentment and helplessness.

"That's right, Master. There's really no need for that."

A group of brothers who came from behind were trying to persuade Art, because in their hearts they believed that Wen Meijiu was treacherous and did not want to admit the matter.
