The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Hearing this, Xu Zhiliang and Xu Chong looked at Liu Lichun together.

Xu Zhiliang's eyes were full of confusion, but there was no doubt.

Xu Chong was also confused at first, but when he saw Liu Lichun's evasive look, he seemed to understand something.

He said coldly, "Did Zhang Quan find you, or did you take the initiative to find Zhang Quan?"

Xu Chong said this, but Liu Lichun remained silent. If Xu Zhiliang still didn't understand what was going on, he really didn't need to be the head of the village anymore.

Xu Zhiliang looked at Liu Lichun in disbelief. "Lichun girl, the whole Xuliu Village knew that Zhang Quan was trying to ruin Xu Qiao's innocence. I'm sure you knew it too. Now you're involved with Zhang Quan and appear here together. What exactly do you want to do?"

After waiting for a long time without Liu Lichun's answer, Xu Zhiliang could not help but urge him, "Tell me what's going on. If you don't, I'll call your parents and brothers and have them question you in person."

When she heard that her family was going to be called, the previously silent Liu Lichun immediately panicked. She shook her head repeatedly, clasped her hands together and begged, "Village head, my mother is not well. She must not know about this. And my father, if he knew that Zhang Quan and I were involved, he would definitely beat me to death."

Seeing that Zhang Quan was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, Liu Lichun steeled himself, gritted his teeth, and pointed at Zhang Quan and said, "It's all his fault. He was the one who said that Xu Qiao wanted to seduce Brother Yan Zheng.

She also said that Xu Qiao's presence might affect Brother Yan Zheng's success in the imperial examination. Brother Yan Zheng had studied so hard for so many years, and he couldn't let all his hard work go to waste because of her.

Besides, Brother Yan Zheng has to stay at home for a year because of mourning. I’m afraid that Brother Yan Zheng will really be bewitched by her, so, so——"

"So I helped him ruin my reputation!"

Liu Lichun couldn't say it, so Qiao Qian said it for her.

After saying that, he looked at Xu Zhiliang and said, "Mr. Village Head, you heard it too. Do you still think I'm nitpicking with a little girl? You have children at home too. If one day someone tries every possible means to destroy your daughter's reputation, will you be magnanimous enough to let your daughter not get angry with that person?"

Thinking that someone wanted to ruin his daughter's reputation, Xu Zhiliang wanted to pick up a knife and chop that person.

As soon as he had this thought, he thought about what he had just said to Xu Qiaoshi, and lowered his head in shame, not daring to look Qiao Xi in the eye.

He couldn't bear the thought of such a thing, let alone Xu Qiao, who had already experienced it once and almost experienced it again.

No wonder even outsiders couldn't stand it and spoke out against him.

Xu Zhiliang looked at Qiao Xi with shamefaced expression and said, "Ms. Xu Qiao, how do you want to deal with these two?"

Liu Lichun originally thought that the village head could say a few words for him, but he didn't expect to hear him ask Qiao Xi this question. He immediately realized that he could only rely on himself.

She looked at Qiao Xi nervously, and when she saw the coldness in her eyes, she didn't care about anything else. She took two steps at a time and came to Qiao Xi, reaching out to grab Qiao Xi's hand, but Qiao Xi seemed to have sensed it and avoided her by fixing her hair.

She looked at her empty hand, but was not discouraged. Instead, she grabbed her sleeve, shaking it while pleading in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, I was wrong. Can you forgive me? Considering that I once brought you water, please forgive me this time.

I promise that I will stay away from Zhang Quan from now on and will never help him harm you again. If it really doesn't work, please forgive me for Brother Yan Zheng's sake!"

Qiao Qian: "For Yan Zheng's sake? Oh, Liu Lichun, you have nothing to do with my Yan Zheng, why should I spare you for Yan Zheng's sake?

"If you're asking for help, you should act in a begging manner. Don't bring up my family's Yan Zheng. Also, you said all this was Zhang Quan's fault. Is that true?"

Liu Lichun sensed an opportunity in her words and nodded hurriedly.

Qiao Xi didn't waste time talking to her and looked up at Xiao Yushan: "Military doctor, please help me for a moment."

Xiao Yushan was always by her side. Whenever his beloved disciple asked for something, he knew what she wanted him to do without her asking.

He walked straight to Zhang Quan and quickly took his hand away from Zhang Quan's neck.

Then he stood quietly aside and nodded slightly to Qiao Xi.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes stopped on Zhang Quan.

But in a moment, Zhang Quan, who was in extreme pain just now, suddenly stopped moving. Just when everyone thought he fell asleep, they saw Zhang's whole body twitched violently a few times, and then he opened his eyes.

He first looked at himself and found himself lying on the ground, and he almost crawled up using his hands and feet.

When he saw Xiao Yushan, he was so scared that he took a few steps back.

Seeing that Xiao Yushan didn't move, he looked at the others with relief.

Seeing Zhang Quan sober up, Qiao Xi didn't want to waste time on the hooligan, so she asked directly, "Zhang Quan, was the beating you received last time too light? It's only been a few days, and you're trying to do the same thing again! Tell me, who gave you the courage to come to me and act like a hooligan again?"

Hearing her ask this, Zhang Quan subconsciously looked at Liu Lichun.

Seeing the disgust in her eyes when she looked at herself, she knew that she might have told Qiao Xi the whole story.

He couldn't help but snort coldly, thinking: She was the one who came up with the idea, why should he be the only one to bear the blame?

He curled his lips, pointed his index finger at Liu Lichun and said, "It was her. She was the one who instigated me, saying that you were trying to hook up with her brother Yan Zheng, and asked me if I still had feelings for you.

I originally came to Xuliu Village just to see those military masters, but I couldn't resist her temptation, so I came here and did such a thing."

Liu Lichun guessed that he would deny it, but he didn't expect to hear him put all the blame on himself. He gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Quan, you are talking nonsense.

Yesterday, I was about to go home from Brother Yan Zheng's house when you suddenly appeared out of nowhere, covered my mouth, pulled me to a secluded place, and asked me to help you ruin my sister-in-law's reputation.

If I don't agree, you'll ruin my reputation. I'm afraid, so I have no choice but to agree to help you."

After saying that, Liu Lichun looked at Qiao Xi and Xu Zhiliang, "Sister-in-law, Village Head, you have to believe me, don't believe him, everything he said is a lie."

Seeing Liu Lichun getting anxious, Zhang Quan said nonchalantly, "When did I threaten you? You have no evidence, so don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, I will definitely report you to the Lingxiao City government office and ask the officials to give me justice."

Liu Lichun was so angry that he pointed at Zhang Quan: "You, you, you are shameless. You——"

"Who wants me to give him justice?"

Before Liu Lichun could think of how to refute, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice from outside the yard.

Everyone in the courtyard, except Xiao Yushan, looked at the newcomer.

Village head Xu Zhiliang and Xu Chong had never seen Shen Qingyan before, and they looked at Shen Qingyan with curiosity.

Liu Lichun's attention was drawn by Shen Qingyan's words "uphold justice". He looked at Shen Qingyan as if he had seen a savior.

Qiao Xi couldn't help but twitch her eyes: What's going on today? One by one, two people come here to join the crowd.

Shen Qingyan swept his gaze around the courtyard and quickly stopped at Zhang Quan: "What kind of justice do you want me to uphold?"
