If Ying Zi were exposed going around draining other people’s fields and cutting off their livelihood, her reputation would be ruined. Plus, why would Ying Zi suddenly go after Lin Yuelan? Was she taking revenge for her mother? If that was the case, she thought very highly of herself. But Ying Zi was too clever to do that.
Ying Zi clenched her fists tighter and tighter. She lowered her head, hiding all her expressions, and let her mother take the blame for her.
She knew that her reputation would be ruined if she admitted that she had deliberately drained the farmer’s field. The accusation of being malicious would accompany her for the rest of her life. If that were the case, who would come to her house to propose marriage in the future? Who would marry such a vicious bride?
‘Lin Yuelan, remember this. I will return to you everything you have done to me, Lin Yingzi, in the future!’
Lin Yuelan heard Gu Sanniang and curled her lips. She sneered and asked sharply, “Auntie Gu, when did I offend you? Why do you keep trying to harm me?”
The first person who called Lin Yuelan a demon was Gu Sanniang. The first person who incited the villagers to burn Lin Yuelan to death was Gu Sanniang. Gu Sanniang was one of the people who came to steal money from Lin Yuelan. Now, she wanted to ruin Lin Yuelan’s livelihood!
At this moment, everyone looked at Gu Sanniang with a strange gaze.
Gu Sanniang lowered her head, not daring to answer Lin Yuelan.
Seeing that Gu Sanniang did not answer, Lin Yuelan sarcastically said, “What’s wrong? Are you suddenly mute? In that case, please return. I am only a normal human. I don’t have expert medical skills and don’t know how to cure unknown poison. Furthermore, there’s not even a clear explanation as to what is really happening. What does your poisoning have to do with me? For all I know, you just want to frame me for the poisoning.
“But no matter, I shall take the blame. You said you were poisoned by me. Then, why should I cure your poison after I’ve taken the effort to poison you?” Since her reputation was already so bad, Lin Yuelan didn’t matter that it got worse.
Ying Zi and Gu Sanniang were shocked. They immediately shouted in panic, “no!”
Then, Ying Zi said ‘sincerely’, “Lin Yuelan, we don’t know why we were poisoned. However, someone told me that you’re the only one who can cure the poison in our bodies. Lin Yuelan, it’s all my fault. Please give me a chance to correct myself. Please give me the antidote!” She kowtowed. The sores had already grown to her face, and if she didn’t treat them in time, her face would definitely have been ruined.
Therefore, for the sake of her face, she had to kneel and kowtow to Lin Yuelan.
Lin Yuelan said coldly, “if you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? That’s right, I do have an antidote, but I was told by the King of Hell that I could only give it to the real culprit who had drained my field.”
This was a clear hint that Lin Yuelan knew Gu Sanniang was merely shouldering the blame for her daughter.
For Ying Zi, her face was more important than her reputation. If her reputation was ruined, she could move from the Lin family village.
Ying Zi, who had made her decision, said to Lin yuelan angrily, “yes, I was the one who drained your field. I directed the water to Lin Changmao’s field to frame them. Are you satisfied now?”
As soon as Ying Zi finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.
They had never thought that the matter would be more complicated and vicious than they had imagined.
It turned out that Ying Zi was really the culprit, and she even wanted to frame Lin Changmao’s family. How could she be so sinister and vicious?
Lin Yuelan nodded with understanding. She took out a bottle. “That was the truth the King of Hell told me. Thank you for corroborating that.”
Then she turned to the gathered crowd and shouted, “Thank you for coming to the show!”
Everyone looked at each other, and then they were all horrified!
