Chapter 759: Chapter 764: The One Who Flirts First is Cheap_1
"How dare you say that the child is his just like that? Has anyone seen him do anything to Ruo Lan?"
That night he really did see Ruo Lan, but he didn’t say a single word, okay?
He doesn’t have the power to get a girl pregnant just by looking at her!
Otherwise, wouldn’t his children be all over the place?
Old Mrs. Liu, lacking confidence, could only raise her voice, "That’s a maid she bought, there must have been premeditation. How else could it have been so coincidental? Ruo Lan just went out for a walk, how did she end up being pushed into the water by her maid?"
Qiao Duo’er said indifferently, "Without evidence, it’s just slander."
And she wouldn’t have waited until now if she wanted to take the lives of Ruo Lan and her unborn child.
"I know!" a scruffy little boy shouted loudly.
Now everyone looked at Qiao Duo’er differently. The implication of the kid’s words was that he knew some evidence, right?
Everyone understood Qiao Duo’er’s dislike of Ruo Lan, but to harm an unborn child was just too cruel.
The scruffy boy swallowed hard; he had never been looked at by so many people, and now he was stage-frightened.
Uh, if he had known this was going to happen, he would’ve kept his mouth shut.
"Well, out with it then. What do you know? Once you’ve spoken, some people won’t be able to hide their guilty conscience."
"Speak up quick, what’s going on? You’re killing us with suspense!"
The onlookers could not help but urge him.
This damn affair had been on everyone’s mind, but since Ruo Lan was at home resting, and the Tan Family had not made any statement, all they could do was speculate.
It was time to give everyone an explanation.
Tie Niu rubbed the little boy’s head, his eyes full of encouragement.
"Don’t be afraid, just boldly say who the bad guy is. We don’t need such malicious people in our village."
From his understanding of Duo’er, he knew she wouldn’t do such a thing.
So the boy had to speak clearly to clear Duo’er’s name.
The little boy, gripping his clothing hem, said, "I saw her and Sister Ruo Lan go to the riverbank together, they said they were looking for someone, then hid behind a tree and watched in secret."
He didn’t know much, but the others understood.
Granny Liu and Ruo Lan going to the pond to find someone meant they were the ones who started the trouble, the first to provoke.
And with Granny Liu watching from behind the big tree, it was certain she knew what had happened.
The accused Granny Liu hurriedly said, "Village Chief, it was Ruo Lan who said she wanted to talk to Almond, so I didn’t go over. Then I don’t know what got into that girl; suddenly, she pushed Ruo Lan in."
"It’s quite normal for Ruo Lan to be in a bad mood, considering her difficult pregnancy; even if she said something unpleasant, Almond shouldn’t endanger her life," she continued.
"Indeed, it was Almond who rescued her, but does that make her innocent? A child is also a life; anyway, if Ruo Lan’s child can’t be saved, I’ll fight them to the death!"
Granny Liu decided to spill everything, as her version of the story had no loopholes.
"Think carefully before you speak. Perjury is punished by beheading," Tie Niu reminded her.
Granny Liu’s face nearly spelled out ’guilty conscience’. What was she still holding out for?
"Village Chief, this is where you’re wrong," Granny Liu said harshly. "If you want to protect the Tan Family, if you want their favors, that’s your business. But don’t you dare wrong me!"
Is Qiao Duo’er some kind of reincarnated Buddha? Why does she always have so many people helping her?
Liu Laosan glared at Granny Liu: "You shut up!"
He really couldn’t stand it any longer; that woman harped on Ruo Lan all day, she wasn’t even acting like a person anymore!
Granny Liu glowered at Liu Laosan, but before she could speak, the door to the room opened.
