CHAPTER 733: CHAPTER 729 CAN’T ESCAPE (FIFTH UPDATE)

Wang Dali told everyone in the village what Luo Xiu’er had him do.

Luo Xiu’er kept refuting.

"No, Wang Dali framed me..." Luo Xiu’er shouted loudly.

After shouting, Luo Xiu’er’s emotions started to get agitated, and the medicine that hadn’t fully taken effect before began to act again.

"Mom, quickly get me a bucket of cold water." Luo Xiu’er climbed onto the kang and said to Old Lady Luo.

Old Lady Luo, coming to her senses, rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a water bucket, and entered Luo Xiu’er’s room.

With a ladle of cold water poured on her, Luo Xiu’er regained her senses.

She shivered with cold, feeling as if she’d stepped into an ice cave, but at least she could argue with people.

"Luo Xiu’er, you bitch, you’ve done the shameless deed of adultery." Mrs. Li cursed.

Luo Xiu’er picked up the ladle, scooped half a ladle of water, and yelled to those in the room, "Get out, all of you get out. If anyone stays in this room, I’ll pour a ladle of water and freeze her to death."

In the dead of winter, no woman wanted to be doused with cold water.

Thus, a few women retreated, Old Lady Luo and Wang Dali still remained inside.

Luo Xiu’er raised the ladle and splashed Wang Dali with cold water.

Wang Dali shivered with cold and cursed, "Vicious bitch, just you wait, you wait for me..."

Wang Dali was no one to be trifled with, he wouldn’t let himself freeze.

Wang Dali rushed out of Luo Xiu’er’s room, found Old Sir Luo’s room, barged in, and rummaged through Old Sir Luo’s cabinets for clothes.

Even so, Old Sir Luo didn’t dare to stop him, because he was afraid of Wang Dali.

After Wang Dali changed into Old Sir Luo’s clothes.

Luo Xiu’er also put on clothes in her room.

Luo Xiu’er stood in the middle of the courtyard, holding a bucket, the effect of the medicine not yet lifted. Tonight, she either had to find a man or pour water on herself periodically.

In such a situation, clearly, she could only choose the latter.

At this point, Luo Xiu’er knew it was a matter of life or death for either herself or Feng Xiaohua.

She had to fight with all her might.

"Everyone sees my situation, I must keep pouring cold water, because someone drugged me with the fierce tiger medicine.

If I don’t douse myself with cold water, I’ll lose consciousness. Earlier, when you all came in, wasn’t I ignoring you? That’s the best proof." Luo Xiu’er logically defended herself.

Some women noticed that at the start, Luo Xiu’er did indeed appear to be out of her mind.

"Xiuxiu, you said someone drugged you with the fierce tiger medicine, who was it?" Yu Liulang, who hadn’t spoken before, asked.

"Who else could it be but your good wife, Feng Xiaohua? Because of what happened between us, Feng Xiaohua lost face. She didn’t want me to enter the door, so she enlisted Wang Dali to harm me.

Everything Wang Dali said was to protect Feng Xiaohua, to engineer my demise." Luo Xiu’er finished, pointing at Feng Xiaohua and crying bitterly.

"Feng Xiaohua, you are so cruel. I was willing to leave Yu Family Village for you, you’re inhuman..." Luo Xiu’er lamented pitifully.

Several women believed Luo Xiu’er’s words and pointed fingers at Feng Xiaohua.

Feng Xiaohua, already lacking the experience to handle such matters, coupled with being wronged, began to cry as well.

Feng Xiaohua said, "It wasn’t me, I have no idea what’s going on. I just borrowed clothes from Sister Xiuxiu to wear.

When I arrived in the courtyard, Xiuxiu was inside with Wang Dali, doing who knows what. This matter has nothing to do with me."

Luo Xiu’er said, "Feng Xiaohua, at this point, you’re still throwing dirt on me? I know you blame me for leaving Liulang before, going to the county, and now coming back in front of Liulang.

You’re afraid I’ll steal your happiness, afraid that Liulang has feelings for me. But I’ve already suffered my punishment. Isn’t that enough? Must I die to satisfy you?"

Both sides held their ground, and most of the villagers didn’t know who to believe.

At this moment, another group of people arrived outside the courtyard, all carrying torches. The person leading them made Luo Xiu’er tremble with fear at first sight.

It was Housekeeper Zhang, confidant of the Zhang Family’s First Lady.

Luo Xiu’er let the bucket in her hand slip, spilling the water inside.

Housekeeper Zhang walked up to Luo Xiu’er.

"It’s been a long time, Aunt Xiuxiu. When will you come back to the Zhang Family in the county with us?"

Luo Xiu’er screamed and shouted wildly.

"I don’t know you, I don’t know you... I’m not part of the Zhang Family, I’m not..."

"Whether you are or not is not up to you!" Housekeeper Zhang said coldly.

Then, he addressed the villagers, "Everyone listen up, Luo Xiu’er is a concubine of our Zhang Family in the county, given leave by our lady under the pretense of visiting relatives.

Who knew she wouldn’t return, after all, she’s a woman our master bought with money, and our lady insists on bringing her back to the Zhang Family in the county."

The crowd erupted.

Luo Xiu’er declared she was abandoned and now free in the village, not yet officially concubined.

This was a big deal in the Da Ning Dynasty, possibly leading to lawsuits.

"No, no... I’m not the Zhang Family’s concubine, I’m free.

Brother Liu Lang has agreed to marry me, to marry me..." Luo Xiu’er said as she suddenly crashed into Housekeeper Zhang.

Housekeeper Zhang fell down, and Luo Xiu’er seized the moment to escape.

The Zhang Family’s servants chased after her, and the Old Yu Family became lively.

At this point, everyone saw the truth clearly.

Luo Xiu’er was not a good person, but Yu Liulang’s reputation still needed Old Sir Luo and Old Lady Luo to clarify.

"Sir, you should tell the villagers yourself, Liulang doesn’t want you both, at your age, to be driven out of Yu Family Village," Yu Liulang said.

Old Sir Luo sighed and revealed the truth clearly and thoroughly.

The matter reached a conclusion, and just as everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, Wang Dali, who hadn’t caused trouble, suddenly kicked Old Sir Luo.

When the crowd went to help Old Sir Luo, he ran towards the courtyard gate, but as he passed by Lu Yuanfeng,

Lu Yuanfeng brought him down with a punch, intending to restrain Wang Dali.

Mu Shuangshuang stepped forward.

"Fengzi, let me help you!" Mu Shuangshuang said, scratching Lu Yuanfeng’s palm with her fingers.

Lu Yuanfeng instantly let go of Wang Dali, who quickly ran out of sight.

...

...

Mu Shuangshuang, Lu Yuanfeng, Yu Si Niang, and Mu Dashan didn’t care about how things were handled.

Luo Xiu’er’s plot was exposed, restoring Yu Liulang’s reputation, that was enough.

As for the rest, that was for the people of Yu Family Village to figure out.

While Yu Liulang was still at the Old Luo Family’s place.

Mu Shuangshuang took Lu Yuanfeng to the kitchen, bringing out dishes that Old Mrs. Yu had cooked and kept warm in the pot.

A few steaming dishes were set on the table, and Lu Yuanfeng’s face beamed with happiness.

"I knew you’d be running around all day and wouldn’t have had dinner, so I kept the food for you."
