Chapter 1680: I Am Also a Victim (6)

Liang Xiaoyu took a deep breath and finally stopped.

Yang Xiaoliu looked at Yang Ruxin worriedly.

Before Yang Ruxin could say anything, a woman rushed in from outside and lunged at Qiu Meifan: "You wretched woman, you’ve bewitched my son, making him spend Silver every day on you. In the end, you don’t even talk about marriage, turns out you’re juggling several men! See if I won’t kill you, you whore..." As she spoke, she started hitting.

Before long, Qiu Meifan was scratched across the face, bleeding, and had clumps of hair pulled out, looking as miserable as could be.

The originally suave gentleman stepped aside, watching with interest, as if he wasn’t the one being affectionate with Qiu Meifan a moment ago.

"Help..." Qiu Meifan looked towards Yang Ruxin.

"Yang Ruxin shrugged: I’m just the county magistrate’s foster daughter, the type who abuses power, how could I save you?"

Qiu Meifan immediately showed a face full of despair, finally looking towards Liang Tie.

Liang Tie’s eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but he opened his mouth then eventually turned his gaze away.

Qiu Meifan looked towards the gentleman again, only to find he wasn’t even looking at her, leaving her heartbroken, forcing her to curl up in a ball.

"Serves her right!" Liang Xiaoyu spat, feeling greatly relieved.

Soon, a man caught up outside, pulling the woman: "Mother, stop hitting, someone’s going to die..."

The woman was already exhausted, using her son’s hand to stand up straight, but she still wasn’t satisfied, giving Qiu Meifan another kick.

Since the door was open, people outside heard the commotion and gathered around, clamoring for information.

No one needed to ask before the woman started speaking rapidly: "I’ve never seen anyone so despicable, worse than a brothel girl..."

The woman was from Huangshi Village, her surname was Wang. Her husband died two years ago, and she lived with her son. Her son reached the age to discuss marriage, and a matchmaker brought up Qiu Meifan. Both sides were satisfied after meeting, but the girl’s side claimed her father was ill, and her brother was unmarried, and asked for a betrothal gift to ease their minds when she got married.

The Wang Family thought the request wasn’t excessive and believed this girl cared for her family, so they gathered ten Silver for the betrothal gift. However, the girl’s side went quiet afterward. The son went over to hurry the marriage, but the girl’s side kept making excuses, claiming family issues...

The Wang Family sensed something was off and sent someone to inquire about the girl’s family, discovering different circumstances. Today, the mother and son intended to visit the girl’s family to cancel the engagement and reclaim the betrothal gift, but unexpectedly found the girl elegantly leaving with another man, so they followed...

They never expected the woman was really having an affair with another man.

Upon hearing this, everyone was outraged, shouting to report to the authorities and demanding harsh punishment for the adulterous pair.

Just then, someone came upstairs, and it was arrest officer Xie with two government officers coming up: "What’s this commotion about?"

"Officer, this has nothing to do with me." The gentleman quickly jumped over, "I’m a victim too... I’ve spent over thirty Silver on her... If they hadn’t burst in, I wouldn’t have known this woman was juggling so many men..." Saying this, he went over and yanked a gold bracelet from Qiu Meifan’s wrist. "I just gave this to her today... By the way, her brother Qiu Rang was here earlier, we’ve even had the engagement drink..."
