Chapter 386: Too Unrealistic for a Storybook
Chapter 386: Too Unrealistic for a Storybook
Shu Yu went on and on, and the villagers immediately understood. Then, they looked at the Yuan family with subtle expressions. Village Head Chen visibly sighed in relief and then blamed the Yuan elder couple, saying, "You went too far. That's your own son. You beat him unconscious, and now you're trying to frame him for a crime. Do you think your lives are too easy?" The Yuan elder couple exchanged a glance, feeling bewildered. However, they quickly shook their heads and denied, "We didn't use excessive force. She's lying." "But he's still lying in bed now. How could she be lying? When Yuan Shanchuan was spitting blood, many villagers saw it," someone outside the courtyard chimed in. "Yeah, that's right. It was only after Shanchuan heard that you wanted to sever ties with him that he got so angry that he spat blood." The Yuan elder couple was left speechless. Village Head Chen snorted coldly, "Alright, now that everything is explained clearly, Shanchuan didn't commit any crime, and he's perfectly fine. So, there's no need to talk about severing ties anymore." The Yuan elder couple glanced at each other but didn't reply. Village Head Chen frowned, "What do you mean by this?" Unable to hold back anymore, Old Yuan looked at Yuan Shanchuan and spoke with a stern face, "The matter isn't resolved yet. We were unjustly arrested and our house was turned upside down. It's all because of our fourth son's wrongdoing. Where has he been all these days?" The other Yuan family members chimed in, "That's right. Are we supposed to suffer for no reason? In the end, we're still affected by our fourth son's misdeeds." Yuan Shanchuan, leaning against the eaves, couldn't listen any longer. He slowly stood up with Xiao Zhen's support and looked at his parents and siblings. His complexion was still pale, and he coughed heavily a couple of times, quickly capturing the attention of others. The Yuan elder couple still wore unfriendly expressions toward him. "Fourth son, tell us, where have you been all these days? Why did the yamen say you committed a crime?" Regarding this matter, Yuan Shanchuan and the others had already come up with a unified explanation. In a hoarse voice, he began, "A month ago, there were three murder cases in the Zhao family in the west of the city. I believe you've all heard about it." The crowd exchanged puzzled glances. Of course, they had heard about it. It was said that the Zhao family's house was a river of blood, with a strong stench of blood that frightened the neighboring households, causing them to move away and refuse to stay there. This incident had a severe impact, and the yamen took it very seriously. Was this incident related to him? As expected, Yuan Shanchuan continued, "At that time, I happened to be nearby and saw the killer. After he killed someone, he fled, and I secretly followed him. However, he discovered me after we left the city. He attacked me, and I narrowly avoided fatal blows. I didn't die, but I was severely injured and fell off a cliff. Luckily, I got caught on a tree branch and was saved by someone." Shu Yu covered her face, finding the plotline all too familiar. Unfortunately, for the villagers of Daxu Village, Yuan Shanchuan's experience seemed thrilling, convoluted, and, above all, incredibly fortunate. He survived severe injuries, escaped a deadly fall off a cliff, and was miraculously caught by a tree branch, only to be timely rescued. It was a plotline even storybooks wouldn't dare to write. Thus, everyone listened with great interest. "What happened afterward? Why did the yamen want to arrest your family?" Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!
