Chapter 68: A Woman’s Indecency

The Gu clan leader watched Madam Jiang cry a river. He furrowed his white eyebrows, put down his great-grandson in his arms, patted his head, and signaled the child to go back to the room.

The child ran back to the room with a thump.

The Gu clan leader’s murky eyes were very wise, he stared at Madam Jiang and asked, “How did the young lady of the Gu family and Liu Guixiang cripple Song Dalang’s legs? Why did they attack Song Dalang for no reason?”

Madam Jiang made up a story, “My niece had an engagement with Gu Huaizhi, but because of Su Wan’s bad character, the royal family wanted to dissolve the engagement. The Marquis’s family had no choice but to marry my niece to the prince, and let Su Wan replace my niece to marry Gu Huaizhi.

Su Wan was not happy about it, and Liu Guixiang also resented my niece for not keeping her promise. They couldn’t take revenge on my niece, so they took it out on my Dalang because of their grudge with me!”

She hated the Gu family to death, Song Dalang was close to becoming an official, she could have been the wife of an official, but now he has become a useless person, unable to earn money, paralyzed in bed, and still needs someone to take care of him!

Although the Gu clan leader is old, he is not confused.

Su Wan has been married for over a month, she hasn’t done anything harmful in the village, at most she was not good to the Gu family.

But a rich young lady, marrying a farmer’s son, no one can accept it.

Moreover, during this period, Su Wan has completely changed, she is wholeheartedly living a good life, it is the Song family that is restless, always causing trouble for the Gu family.

The Gu clan leader spoke slowly and calmly, “Without evidence, can you prove that the young lady of the Gu family crippled Song Dalang?”

Madam Jiang choked, where did she have evidence?

Song Dalang is still unconscious.

Yesterday he went to deal with Su Wan, it must have been Su Wan who did it!

“Clan leader, I am the wife of the village head, how could I slander people without reason? There are people who can testify that it was Su Wan, if you don’t believe it, you can interrogate Su Wan, I will send people to find witnesses!”

Madam Jiang remembered a few people hired by Song Dalang, she could use money to bribe them, accusing Su Wan and Liu Guixiang of crippling Song Dalang!

On the wrinkled face of the Gu clan leader, there was a solemn look, “If you slander the young lady of the Gu family, you will be punished for your indecent words as a woman, whipped fifty times, and made to kneel in the ancestral hall.”

Madam Jiang’s face changed, but at this point, she absolutely could not back down, she gritted her teeth, got up and took the Gu clan leader back to the Gu family.

——

Su Wan came out after dressing. Madam Jiang had already left, and Mother Gu came in with a shovel.

“Wanwan, did they disturb you?” Mother Gu threw the shovel to the corner of the wall, walked towards Su Wan, with a kind smile on her face, “It’s still early, you can go back to sleep for a while, I will call you when breakfast is ready.”

“I’ve had enough sleep.” Su Wan frowned, and looked at the empty courtyard door, “Madam Jiang came to the door, what happened?”

Mentioning Madam Jiang, Mother Gu got angry, she spat and said, “Who knows what madness she’s under, biting people early in the morning! Last night Song Dalang’s leg was broken, what does it have to do with us? She thinks we’re easy to bully, dumping a shit bucket on our heads!”

A thought crossed Su Wan’s mind, and she asked, “Did anyone sell land in our village yesterday?”

Mother Gu was puzzled, “No. Why? Do you want to buy land?”

Su Wan shook her head, why did Mrs. Hu deceive her? Preventing her from going to town, even urging her to return to the village as soon as possible?

She thought of Song Dalang’s accident last night, and Madam Jiang insisted that she was the culprit, an idea gradually formed in her heart.

Song Dalang was going to harm her, this plan was known by Mrs. Hu, so she specifically came to give her a warning, wanting her to avoid this disaster.

She didn’t take Mrs. Hu’s words to heart, she didn’t encounter Song Dalang all the way, but Song Dalang ended up with broken legs.

Who did this?

Was it Qi Guang?

At this time, Madam Jiang and the Gu clan leader hurriedly came over, followed by many villagers who came to watch the excitement.

Madam Jiang’s eyes were sharp, and she said coldly, “Su Wan, Liu Guixiang, I have brought the clan leader here, you can’t deny it!”
