A farmer has a shrewish wife; he's busy making money every day.

All the villagers turned to look at Ye Qingxue.

Ye Qingxue saw fear, blame, and anger in their eyes.

The only thing I didn't see was trust.

Ye Qingxue shook her head.

Look at the kind of place its predecessor was in.

This further strengthened her resolve to leave.

Ye Qingxue dismounted from the donkey, tied Debao up, and then walked over.

Only after pushing through the crowd did she truly understand the situation.

Almost all the men in the village had gathered here, each carrying farm tools—hoes, sickles, kitchen knives, and so on—and looking nervously at the hillside in front of them.

There stood a white tiger, its snow-white fur gleaming golden in the sunlight, the white stripes above its eyes majestic and mysterious.

It was lowering its body, staring at everyone in the deserted village, its narrow tiger eyes gleaming with a dangerous light.

It is waiting for the right moment, waiting for the best time to attack.

Li You, his face full of anxiety, asked Ye Qingxue, "Was the herb you gave your parents yesterday the Purple Bamboo Grass?"

Lu Meng's expression also turned somewhat grim: "Xue girl, if you stole it, hand it over."

Even if Lu Meng wanted Ye Qingxue to give him a grandson, he couldn't withstand the wrath of so many people.

Hearing this, Ye Yu's heart skipped a beat.

If this girl really fed the Purple Bamboo Grass to Third Brother, then they wouldn't die!

"Third daughter! Take it out now, or I'll force you to resort to family discipline!"

Ye Qingxue almost laughed out loud. Did they suddenly feel like they were family again?

Granny Wang chimed in, adding insult to injury: "You shameless girl! I knew you were greedy the day you got married. No one else could have taken this purple bamboo grass but you!"

Granny Wang held that slap in her heart and had been looking for a chance to get revenge. Today, she finally got her chance!

Ye Hua'er walked out with a frown and grabbed Ye Qingxue's wrist: "Sister, I know you didn't mean it. Just take it out. No one will blame you."

This is how she is condemned.

As Ye Qingxue's thoughts shifted, all the villagers looked at her, their gazes even more terrifying than those of the white tiger.

"Ye Qingxue, take it out!"

"Hurry! I don't want to die!"

"You bitch, you tried to seduce my husband but now you want to kill us all!"

All the blame was directed at Ye Qingxue.

Inside the house behind them, Lu Chuci also looked out through the window nervously, her eyes somewhat dark.

I didn't expect the white tiger to arrive so quickly.

Ye Qingxue, what would you do?

“I admit, I took the grass.”

A forlorn voice came from outside.

Lu Chuci raised an eyebrow: ?

Ye Hua'er was somewhat shocked. How could she admit it so quickly?

Ye Qingxue then said, "Since everyone thinks I took it, then I shall have taken it."

Ye Hua'er frowned, something seemed amiss.

Immediately afterwards, large tears streamed down Ye Qingxue's face: "Yes, I took that damn purple bamboo grass. I went into the depths of the mountains alone, found that place accurately, and recognized it as purple bamboo grass with my sharp eyes. I even sold it all and only brought a bag of millet home!"

Now, everyone realized something was wrong.

"Yes, how did Lu's wife get into that area all by herself?"

"That's right, she didn't recognize any herbs either. We only found out because Dr. Li told us."

"The basket on her back was empty! She only had a bag of millet on her body, and even her money bag was flat."

Ye Qingxue seemed to be furious, tears streaming down her face. Yet, she was also beautiful, and her pitiful appearance made many people feel sorry for her.

Ye Hua'er watched as things took an unexpected turn and was about to say something when Ye Qingxue suddenly spoke up.

"I have no purple bamboo grass on me, but I can give you my life!"

After saying that, Ye Qingxue turned around and rushed towards the white tiger, running into the forest.

The white tiger had never been provoked by a mere human before. It roared twice and then turned to chase after Ye Qingxue!

All the villagers were shocked!

Was she risking her life to lure the white tiger away to prove herself?!

For a moment, the villagers who had just been doubting Ye Qingxue were speechless, and guilt welled up in everyone's hearts.

This does not include the second branch of the Ye family, of course.

Ye Yu frowned: "What tricks is this girl up to now?"

Wu Shuang also said with disgust, "How naive of her to think that this would make everyone believe she wasn't the one who stole the purple bamboo grass!"

But at this point, no villagers echoed their sentiments; instead, some voiced their opposition.

"Hey, Brother Ye, that's not right. Who would risk their life to prove their innocence?"

"And Wang Po, don't just say things carelessly, or you'll cause everyone to misunderstand."

"Yes, your intention to smear us is all too obvious!"

Ye Yu's family was in an awkward situation for a moment.

Large beads of sweat dripped from Granny Wang's forehead, and her hands trembled slightly.

This was the first time she had ever been criticized like this, a woman who was always respected.

Ye Hua'er felt even more ashamed; her parents were incredibly stupid! How could they speak ill of Ye Qingxue at such a critical moment!

Li You finally realized what was going on: "Xue girl, could it be that you're going to the county to sell rabbits?"

A villager asked, "Sister-in-law Li, what do you mean?"

Lu Meng seemed to have seized the opportunity. "She ate roasted rabbit at home yesterday."

Aunt Lu raised her hand in the crowd: "Yes, that girl rented the donkey from me for two rabbits."

Now, even Aunt Lu testified, and everyone believed that Ye Qingxue really had gone to sell rabbits.

Wu Shuang's lips twitched: "This girl is really lucky, she caught a whole nest of rabbits."

The villagers, already feeling guilty and with a lump in their throats, suddenly found a way to break through.

"The Lu family's daughter-in-law is already like this, why are you still talking so strangely!"

"Yes, are you her second sister-in-law?"

"Judging from her behavior today, she doesn't seem as useless as you've portrayed her to be."

"Could it be..."

Ye Hua'er panicked a little and forced a smile: "Everyone, don't worry. We have never thought that our third sister is useless. We value our third sister the most. The most important thing is to find her first."

Lu Meng's face flushed red, and he said anxiously, "Yes, let's go find Xue Yatou quickly!"

Since Ye Qingxue did nothing wrong, then his grandson cannot be lost!

The villagers were calmed down, but each of them had their own judgment and no longer completely believed what the second branch of the Ye family said.

They took their weapons, gathered together, and went up the mountain.

Inside the Lu family's house, Lu Chuci was also somewhat surprised. He couldn't imagine what Ye Qingxue was going to do!

He quickly made a gesture towards the shadows.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, a figure flashed by quickly.

……

Deep in the mountains, Ye Qingxue was running fast, her eyes no longer filled with grievance, but instead with a confident and determined look!

She glanced back at the white tiger that was following closely behind her, a smile playing on her lips, and then abruptly turned around and stopped in her tracks.

The white tiger was startled by her sudden pause, and it scraped the ground with its paws, stopping just in front of Ye Qingxue.

Ye Qingxue stared intently at the white tiger, her eyes showing no sign of panic, but rather a hint of eagerness.

Come on, let me show you my full strength!
