Chapter 778: 778 Fragrant Lotus Entwined in Death 7
“What a shameless woman Liu’s daughter is…”
“Oh dear, Liu Xianglian is so evil, neither her face nor her reputation are worth anything, and she still tries to frame Chuan…”
People chatted and chattered, Liu Xianglian’s face turned whiter and whiter as she listened. She had already been seriously injured by Chuan’s kick earlier, barely holding onto her shaky body. The shock of it all was too much for her. She vomited blood and passed out.
“My daughter, my poor daughter!” Liu Zheng’s wife cried out loudly.
Liu Laoshi himself wasn’t much better. He had tried to stop his wife and daughter from coming, but they wouldn’t listen. “I told them not to come…”
“Oh?” Su Qingyue smiled, “Which father in the world doesn’t care about his daughter? If my third brother really bullied Liu Xianglian, her father would be the first one to chop him with a knife. Her father trying to stop them from coming proves that there’s really nothing going on between my third brother and Liu Xianglian. Guys, don’t be fooled by the Liu family’s performance.”
After listening to her, Xiao Yuchuan, who was still angry that his wife pushed him away, realized that she trusted him. His resentment vanished. “Wife, you’re so good. Don’t worry, my heart and body belong to you, and no other woman can take them away.”
She looked at her third brother’s handsome face, “With a face that attracts women like yours, there are definitely more women who will try to steal you away.” She felt that Liu Yuhong from last night would definitely not give up so easily.
Liu Xianglian’s goal was clear, she wanted to marry Xiao Yuchuan.
As for Liu Yuhong… she was the village chief’s wife and was having an affair with Liang Ping’an. After last night’s feast, village chief Liang Lizheng was drunk and unconscious.
Although Liang Ping’an was drunk, he managed to walk back to the Liang family’s home on his own.
With her husband and lover both in the room, Liu Yuhong daringly tried to seduce Third Brother, which must mean she had some ulterior motives.
As the village chief’s wife, she couldn’t and wouldn’t leave her marriage for the third brother. Moreover, considering the “ghost” who had haunted Hanging Neck Mountain for seven years and the sweet nothings she’d heard from Liang Ping’an and Liu Yuhong during their intimate moment last night.
The two had been committing adultery for seven years.
Liang Ping’an was also quite handsome, and one of the few educated talents in the village, so it didn’t make sense for Liu Yuhong to change her heart so easily.
People’s motives can be divided into two types: love or wealth.
It was clear that Liu Yuhong wasn’t after love. So that only left the latter possibility.
Third Brother’s recent streak of bad luck with romantic entanglements meant that he needed to be more cautious himself.
Xiao Yuchuan saw her looking lost in thought and asked worriedly, “What are you thinking about, dear? Don’t misunderstand me.”
She nodded her head. She had always believed that there was nothing between him and Liu Xianglian. Just from the disgusted look in his eyes when he looked at her, she could tell.
Li Wang’s wife said on the side, “Wife of the Xiao Family, didn’t you say it’s up to your third brother whether he marries or not? Why are you going back on your word now?”
“I did leave it up to my third brother. If he doesn’t marry her, what can I do?” Her voice was indifferent.
Li Wang’s wife said, “If you’re really so magnanimous, you should persuade him to marry her.”
To her surprise, she actually did. “Third Brother, why don’t you just marry Liu Xianglian? I really don’t mind on my part.”
His face was full of anger, “Su Qingyue, did you get hit on the head by a door? Which woman would ever encourage her husband to marry someone else?”
“Yeah.” She nodded. No such woman exists, but she had never planned on being his wife in the first place.
Her gaze found Xiao Qinghe, who was blocked by the crowd for a moment.
