Chapter 382: Li Shi's Change of Face
Chapter 382: Li Shi's Change of Face
On that day, Shu Yu took Xiao Zhen and Quan Quan the county yamen, and the three daughters-in-law of the Yuan family failed to catch up with their cart and could only wait at home for news. They had initially thought that Shu Yu, who seemed to be familiar with the official, might have a way to rescue the Yuan family. They had some expectations in their hearts. But to their surprise, the village chief who went to the county yamen returned in the evening. He repeated the same old story, saying that they had to find Yuan Shanchuan, or everything would be in vain. Only by finding Yuan Shanchuan and uncovering the truth of the matter could the Yuan family be released. Upon hearing this, the three daughters-in-law of the Yuan family were almost in tears. They had thought that the young lady from the Lu family had great capabilities and could bring their family members back home. But in the end, they could only meet briefly outside and had no way to bring anyone back. Not only could she not save the Yuan family, but she also couldn't do anything for her own aunt, Lu Sixing. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. The three daughters-in-law of the Yuan family, who had initially anticipated and feared Shu Yu, now vented their anger. They not only blamed Yuan Shanchuan but also placed all the blame on the Lu family. Since the day Lu Sixing was arrested, the three of them had claimed that she was a jinx. Now, the rumors were becoming more intense. At first, the villagers of Daxu Village knew that they were simply shifting blame and found some of their words unreliable. But the three daughters-in-law confidently discussed and brought up some of the family's past secrets. They claimed that Lu Sixing had brought misfortune upon her maternal family, which caused their lives to deteriorate. After marrying into the Yuan family, this bad luck followed them. While the Lu family was slowly improving their lives, the Yuan family was declining. They attributed all of it to Lu Sixing. They cited several incidents, connecting every misfortune that happened in the Yuan family to Lu Sixing. Lu Sixing's reputation as a jinx was solidified. The village chief had spoken with them, but it was difficult to stop such rumors. Moreover, with their husbands all arrested, the three daughters-in-law had become reckless. They argued that they hadn't physically harmed or cursed anyone; they were just speaking a few words. So what? Did they have to sew their mouths shut? The village chief couldn't resort to force, and there was no news coming from the yamen. Those rumors reached the ears of Li Shi, who was a relative from Shishi Village. Li Shi, as a relative, found those rumors somewhat reasonable, let alone the villagers of Daxu Village. Upon hearing this, Da Niu furrowed his brows tightly. "Mother, we shouldn't delay. Let's go to Daxu Village now and see for ourselves." Originally, he had planned to wait until his Fourth Uncle's health improved before returning to the village. He wasn't in a hurry. However, his Fourth Uncle insisted that after being missing for several days and causing such a big incident that even the Yuan family was being talked about, he should appear and clarify the situation as soon as possible. Now it seemed that they should indeed show up sooner. If they delayed for another two days, the rumors would become even more severe, and his Fourth Aunt's reputation would be completely ruined. Li Shi had the silver in her hands. Although she was still unwilling in her heart, she didn't say much. She just nodded and followed Da Niu out. In the courtyard, Yuan Shanchuan was talking to Lu Dasong, who had some understanding of the situation. When they saw Da Niu and Li Shi coming out, Lu Dasong immediately glared at Li Shi. He wanted to say something, but Li Shi had already approached and smiled, "Take care on your journey, and return early." Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!
