As soon as Xia Mo said this, everyone present turned their heads instantly and looked at the woman who had nowhere to hide. After all, for a topic as gossipy as this, most people just wanted to watch the show.

As a result, the woman became the focus of everyone's attention for a while. Under the burning gazes, she looked around and finally found that no one wanted to speak for her. She shrank her neck in panic and stammered: "I... I didn't see it, but... but, everyone said so."

"So, you didn't see it with your own eyes? So, what you said... there is no evidence that I really saw Wang Mazi? How can you... how can you be so mean? You are older than me, and you have eaten more rice than I have walked. You should also know how important this reputation is to me as a brother and a husband!"

Xia Mo became more and more excited as he spoke. He clenched his fists and stared at the woman, until he almost became hoarse.

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes even more sadly. His crow-feather-like eyelashes trembled a few times, and immediately two lines of tears fell. Seeing this, others instantly felt sad for him, and they all looked at the woman in condemnation.

"Ze'er, don't cry. Don't be afraid." Ling Chuan felt depressed upon seeing this. He didn't care whether his little brother was acting or not. He took a few steps forward, held the other's clenched hand, lowered his head and comforted in a deep voice, while glaring at the woman fiercely.

The woman was frightened by him and felt her legs go even weaker. The condemning looks from the people around her, as well as the mocking and criticizing whispers, made her very embarrassed.

So she could only stiffen her neck, raise her hand and point at the two people above, trembling and saying: "I, I didn't see it, but I heard it from them! They said they saw it with their own eyes..."

"Ah! You damn bitch, don't think about putting the blame on me! When did I say I saw it with my own eyes! You shameless thing!" The woman who was hung was already feeling very unbalanced. Why did they both say the same thing but suffer?

The husband was the same. He glared at the lowly woman and cursed her before accusing her, "You shameless old man, you said you saw it with your own eyes, and you said he took off his clothes..."

"Shut up!" Ling Chuan suddenly raised his head, interrupted him with a cold look, and said viciously: "If you dare to say another word, I will pull out your tongue."

The middle-aged man fell silent as soon as he saw it, because he felt that what the man said was true... Oh! How could he be so unlucky to meet such an evil star...

"So... you didn't see it with your own eyes? Then why do you still say that about me? Slander me? I have no grudge against you, why on earth are you doing this? Do you want to force me to death?" Xia Mo looked at them in disbelief with tears on his face, and asked sadly with red eyes.

"It's really too much to slander my husband like this..."

"Yeah yeah……"

Gradually, some people couldn't stand it anymore and their voices became louder.

"What do you want to do? Put my wife down now!"

At this moment, several figures ran hurriedly, shouting at Ling Chuan and the others from a distance, but Ling Chuan and Xia Mo were too lazy to even glance at them...

……the other side……

Mr. and Mrs. Liu Zheng were sitting at home with their daughter-in-law Xiao Liu and their brother's wife Huang, playing with their baby and chatting about family matters, when they suddenly heard panting and anxious sounds coming from outside.

"Oh no, this is terrible! Village chief, Ling Chuan...he hung someone up!"

The sound arrived before the person arrived. When the people in the room heard it, they all raised their heads and looked outside at the same time.

Liu Zheng's wife raised her eyebrows and hissed, uncertainly: "This voice... sounds a lot like the Liu Wu family kid. He's so anxious, is there really something wrong?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Liu Zheng, but saw that he had already stopped smiling. His eyes, which were full of wisdom and calmness, were slightly narrowed, and he was staring at the figure that gradually appeared at their door.

Xiao Liu picked up the child and was about to go out with Huang to take a look when she saw someone running in. They both stopped and took a closer look. It was really the youngest son of the Liu Wu family, Liu Changgong.

Seeing the out-of-breath Liu Changgong, Liu Zheng's wife asked, "Changgong, what happened? Why are you running so fast?"

Hearing this, Liu Changgong nodded vigorously, then turned to look at Liu Zheng, who had a serious face, and panted: "...Yes, it's like this, Ling Chuan tied up Liu Ping's husband and Liu Min's wife, and hung them on the banyan tree."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zheng and the others were all shocked. He tied someone up and hung him on the banyan tree? Did they hear it right?

Liu Zheng stared at him, examining him and said, "Changgong, are you sure you are not kidding us?"

"That's really not the case, Village Chief. How could I possibly joke with you about such a big thing? When I came here, quite a few people had already gathered there to watch." Liu Changgong slowed down and spoke much more fluently.

Liu Zheng and others looked at him several times, and seeing that he did not look like he was lying, they were immediately even more shocked and confused.

"No... farmhand, let me ask you, do you know why Lingchuan hung them on the tree?" Huang said, directly answering the confusion in the hearts of several people.

Liu Changgong scratched his head and said awkwardly: "It seems that they were talking about Ze Ge'er cheating on someone and being caught by Lingchuan on the spot..."

"Bang!" Before Liu Changgong finished his words, Liu Zheng suddenly stood up, slammed the table with a sullen face, and made a loud noise, which instantly scared several people nearby.

He was furious and said, "Okay, it seems like they really ignored my words. I've told you so many times that Ze Ge'er won't do that. He grew up with everyone, and it's impossible for him to... do they want to force Ze Ge'er to death?"

Seeing Liu Zheng's angry face, his wife immediately comforted him: "Zheng, don't get angry yet. You had a headache the day before yesterday."

"Yes, yes, father-in-law, hasn't Lingchuan returned from the mountains now? Brother Ze will be fine." Xiao Liu also quickly agreed.

Huang pursed her lips and looked annoyed. "He really deserves to be hanged. I have told them before that Ze Ge'er did meet Wang Mazi that morning, but he was almost blackmailed by that scoundrel. Fortunately, I passed by at that time and the scoundrel didn't succeed. Why are these people still spreading rumors?"

Seeing that they were still talking and Liu Zheng had no intention of taking charge, Liu Changgong hesitated for a while and said, "What should we do now? The people have been hung up by Lingchuan, and it seems that someone has gone to look for their families."

Liu Changgong's meaning was very clear. Liu Zheng was about to walk out with a stern face, but he suddenly stopped after taking two steps, then he held his forehead and turned to look at Huang, as if he had a headache, and said: "Shuzhen, you go."
