Chen Lixue also realized that she had reacted too strongly when she overheard the villagers’ comments.



Before she could even let go, a dark shadow ran out from the crowd and shoved Chen Lixue aside. He grabbed Yun Xi’s arm with great concern.



Yun Xi looked up. The anxious young man in front of her was none other than her only childhood friend from the village, Tang Cheng.



All the villagers had assumed she had returned to Jingdu, and Tang Cheng was the only one who had thought she was dead. Could it be…



Fortunately, she had an eye witness.



Tang Cheng’s loud voice directly proved Chen Lixue’s crime. All the villagers began pointing at Chen Lixue to scold her for her vile behavior.



In the face of all those accusations, Chen Lixue didn’t forget to defend herself. “What are you all squawking about?! Which one of your eyes saw me push her down?!”



“Uncle Liang, I don’t want to interfere with your family matters, but your wife is truly too evil. This won’t do! I need to go to town and report this to the police!”



“Report to the police? Report what to the police?! Without any evidence, it’s obviously just you two wretched children framing me! I am the wife of the Village Principal! What could you even do to me without any evidence?!”



She was basically gearing up to go rogue and act even more shamelessly!



Chen Lixue couldn’t continue lying to herself and others, so she wailed as she grabbed Liang Weimin.



“Old Liang, can’t you say something?! You can’t possibly want me to go to jail, too?”



Liang Weimin viciously shoved Chen Lixue’s hand away, his expression ruthless. “Yun Xi is my niece. How could you do such a thing?!”



How could he not have seen what Chen Lixue was plotting?



She was trying to allow her own daughter to replace her niece and enjoy a life of luxury. How could she scheme such a thing?



“Chen Lixue, I’m telling you that I won’t let this incident go! I’ll make you pay later on!”



“Brother, thank you for rescuing Yun Xi. I’m afraid I can’t repay you for your great kindness—”



Qi Yuan didn’t allow him to finish speaking before reaching out to interrupt, “That’s not necessary. We did rescue her, but she also saved our Master last night. Come to think of it, this young girl is our savior right now.”



“She saved your Master?”



Liang Weimin’s mentality as a small-time villager gave him a natural sense of respect and awe toward those holding higher rank than him.



“That’s right. Since she’s our savior, we cannot allow her to suffer from wrongdoings either. The situation is already very clear. As the Village Principal, you cannot protect this criminal!”

Qi Yuan was finally able to clearly see it all now. The uncle was useless, the aunt was evil, and this young girl had probably suffered immense amounts of bullying from this household.
