C9 He Wanted to Prove His Innocence
Grandma Wu laid limply on the ground, her eyes staring blankly, as if she had really lost her soul.
Bai Ru knew very well that under fear, one's willpower was the weakest, so her gaze was even sharper.
"Did you see that? I've already captured your soul. You know what to do now, right?"
Lady Wu had never seen anything like this before. She was already out of her wits as she crawled and crawled under Bai Ru's feet, begging for mercy repeatedly.
"I know I was wrong. I will definitely tell you everything after I get out of here. Please spare me. "
She was about to run out when she was stopped by Bai Ru.
"What happened just now, if you spread it out, I will take your life at any time. Don't forget that your soul is still in my hands. "
Grandma Wu kowtowed repeatedly and promised not to reveal a single word. Only then did Bai Ru nod her head and let her out.
Mrs Wang , who was waiting outside the door, had a confident look. She had already arranged everything and dared to spoil her matters. Bai Ru, this lass, just wait to be sunk into the sea.
When she thought of this, Mrs Wang 's eyes flashed with a cruel light.
Bai Pu waited anxiously. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, he saw Granny Wu and Bai Ru push open the door and walk out.
Everyone quickly went forward and started asking questions at the same time.
"Quiet!"
Lee Hong's voice was full of energy.
"Granny Wu, tell me. "
The white hair behind her lowered her head and her expression could not be seen clearly. Mrs Wang sneered in her heart, thinking that she felt guilty and did not dare to see anyone.
Unexpectedly, that midwife Wu kept stuttering and did not speak clearly. Mrs Wang was so anxious that she stomped her feet. She was still waiting to deal with Bai Ru, take Wang Rongyang, this pupil, and sell him to everyone for money.
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and say it. "
Midwife Wu's face was pale. She looked at Lee Hong and wanted to say something, but she heard Bai Ru cough loudly behind her. Her body trembled even more violently.
She was trembling so much that she couldn't even speak properly.
"Miss Bai, you are indeed a virgin. You are not involved in human affairs. "
Mrs Wang and Lee Hong were stunned. They did not expect such an answer.
Only then did Bai Ru start to sob.
"Grandfather, I haven't even married yet and I have already suffered this. How am I supposed to meet people in the future? I don't know who is the one spreading this kind of rumor. Isn't this the same as putting me to death?"
As he spoke, his tears flowed down like they didn't need money.
Bai Pu's face revealed an angry expression.
"My Bai family's discipline is very strict. Everyone in the surrounding villages knows about it. I only want to know who created this rumor. "
Chen Sufen who was hiding behind the crowd felt her heart jump to her throat. She was the one who sold Bai Ru. She was also the one who told Mrs Wang that Bai Ru's body was dirty.
Mrs Wang absolutely did not believe that Bai Ru was still a virgin.
"What a good midwife Wu. In the blink of an eye, she was bribed by Bai Ru again. "
After saying that, she actually rushed forward and started to fight with midwife Wu. She did not notice that she had said something wrong just now.
Bai Pu had always liked Bai Ru. Today, she had suffered such humiliation, so naturally, her heart ached endlessly. When she heard Mrs Wang 's words again, how could she not be angry?
Her eyes stood up and she went forward to grab Mrs Wang 's hand.
"What did you say just now!?"
Mrs Wang was stunned and remembered what she said just now. Her eyes rolled back and forth.
"What did I just say? Why did you hit me if you didn't hit your shameless granddaughter who knows about bribery?"
Bai Pu was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Bai Ru secretly kicked Granny Wu from behind. Granny Wu had been scared badly just now, and she had been beaten up by Mrs Wang again. Her mind had already collapsed.
With a shrill scream, she pointed her rough fingers at Mrs Wang .
"It's her! It was her and Lee Hong who bribed me. When I came, no matter what the result was, I would say it was as if I was not a virgin. "
These words were very serious. As a county magistrate and an elder, she actually did something to trap the younger generation.
Seeing that there was someone angry but was about to rush up to question him, Lee Hong reacted quickly and hurriedly glared at midwife Wu.
"You are slandering me! Be careful, I will punish you for falsely accusing me! As a county magistrate, there is no reason for me to frame a junior!"
The initially restless crowd quieted down once again. That's right, he had no reason to frame Bai Ru!
Bai Ru knew that midwife Wu was just borrowing someone else's knife to kill someone, so she did not know much.
She stepped forward at the right time to wipe away her tears, looking extremely aggrieved.
"I really don't know what made Aunty unhappy. If I didn't ask you to take Wang Rongyang away just now, you would have misunderstood Bai Ru. "
Seeing her sad face, everyone was moved.
On the other hand, Wang Xiucheng's mouth twitched. She had changed, as if she wasn't the one who had hit people.
Mrs Wang had never seen Mrs Wang act so bossy and domineering in her entire life. She had never seen anyone like this before. Bai Ru was so angry that she was gasping for breath, but she could not say a word.
"If you take Rongyang to sell him, it will be a real harm to you. "
As soon as she finished speaking, it was no different from a clap of thunder. No one would have thought that Lee Hong and Mrs Wang would actually plan to sell pupil.
Bai Pu looked at Lee Hong in shock. He believed that Bai Ru was telling the truth.
"Selling pupil in the dynasty is against the law. As a county magistrate, how can you know the law and break the law!"
How could Lee Hong admit it?
"Don't listen to her side of the story. Everyone knows what I do normally. "
Lee Hong had maintained his fair and impartial image all these years. All these years, everything had been smooth sailing. Who would have thought that he would suffer a loss at Bai Ru's place?
"Lord Li Zheng, I dare not do it no matter what. If everyone feels that what I say is not enough to be trusted, then I will not believe it. Bring Wang Rongyang out and ask him. He is a scholar, so he naturally won't lie. "
Wang Rongyang was a clever and clever person. As soon as Bai Ru finished speaking, she walked to Bai Ru's side and cried.
She cried as she cried, causing others to feel anxious when they saw her.
"Aunt wants to sell me to the city, and she wants to hit my mother. "
In this era, scholars were the holy representatives. No one would think that Wang Rongyang was lying, and what he said was the truth.
Wang Rongyang's complaint, coupled with Granny Wu's testimony, made it impossible for Lee Hong and Mrs Wang to deny it.
Lee Hong lowered his head in anger, but Mrs Wang gritted her teeth and stared at Bai Ru, wishing she could cut her into a thousand pieces.
Hu Sanchun seemed to be infected by Wang Rongyang. She rushed over from the door and hugged him and cried.
The villagers who were filled with righteous indignation looked at this pair of poor mother and son. The anger in their hearts grew even more, and they shouted for Lee Hong to roll down the position of the county magistrate.
When Bai Ru saw this, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion in her heart. As expected, the masses were the easiest to incite.
The farce was about to end. Bai Ru thought that it was time to tell Bai Pu about her and Wang Xiucheng.
Bai Ru looked at this petite granddaughter, and her heart was filled with endless guilt.
"I have wronged you. Go home with grandpa. I will protect you. I want to see who dares to say anything to you. "
"Grandpa, don't worry. Granddaughters are not unreasonable people. Granddaughters don't mind. "
His tone was full of sincerity, but his gaze faintly swept towards Chen Sufen.
Bai Ru's parents had both died, and she was so sensible. Bai Pu nodded his head in relief.
"It's just that I have already decided to have an affair with Wang Family's big brother for the rest of my life. Grandfather, please agree. "
As he spoke, he bent his knees and was about to kneel down.
In her previous life, she and Wang Xiucheng had missed each other. In this life, she would never let go of her hands again, and this could be considered as making up for the obsession in her heart that she could not let go.
Not to mention, the two of them had a common characteristic. They had given her a different kind of warmth.
Wang Xiucheng, who was standing at the side, felt touched. Bai Ru's innocence had already exceeded his expectations, and her current actions had touched him even more.
Under the gazes of everyone present, he knelt down in front of Bai Pu with Bai Ru.
"Grandpa of Bai family, I will treat you sincerely. Please accept my request. "
