CHAPTER 699: CHAPTER 695: LUO XIU’ER FAKES AN ACCIDENT (SECOND UPDATE)

Luo Xiu’er’s hair was yanked by Old Lady Luo, and her face was slapped a few times.

If it weren’t for the people of the Old Yu Family and Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang stepping forward to pull the two apart.

Luo Xiu’er would have likely been beaten even more severely.

"Old sister, let’s not pressure the children on this matter anymore. Our Old Yu Family will certainly give an explanation, okay?"

Old Mrs. Yu couldn’t stand it any longer and spoke up.

Old Lady Luo then patted the sunflower seeds shells off her clothes.

She smiled and said, "If you had done this earlier, wouldn’t it have been fine! I’m taking my daughter back today; you all can go discuss whether to marry my daughter or bring out the tea garden.

Remember, you must act quickly. The words of those gossipers in the village aren’t pleasant to hear. If it ruins my reputation, I won’t let it go so easily."

After Ms. Luo finished speaking, she stepped forward, grabbed Luo Xiu’er’s arm, and forcefully dragged her out of the Old Yu Family’s door.

Mu Shuangshuang exchanged a glance with Lu Yuanfeng.

Lu Yuanfeng immediately followed.

The others didn’t understand Mu Shuangshuang’s intention, only thinking that Lu Yuanfeng was heading to the outhouse.

Finally, the room quieted down.

Yu Liulang sat in a chair, continuously pulling at his hair, looking very remorseful.

"Shuangshuang, do you have a way to help your Sixth Uncle?" Yu Si Niang asked.

With such a big incident, none is more worried than Yu Si Niang.

Yu Liulang was brought up by her, her own younger brother now facing such a predicament; as a sister, how could she just stand by and watch?

"Mother, this matter is really difficult to say. You and Grandpa and Grandma should go to the backyard to rest. I have a few things to ask my Sixth Uncle."

What Mu Shuangshuang wanted to ask next was something she didn’t want more people to know.

To avoid failure at a critical juncture.

"Alright, Mother will go out with Grandpa, Grandma, your First Uncle, and Aunt."

Yu Si Niang communicated with the people present, leaving only Mu Shuangshuang and Yu Liulang in the main room.

Yu Liulang remained in his previous posture, motionless.

"Sixth Uncle, what exactly happened? Can you tell me the whole story?"

Mu Shuangshuang had heard some things from Feng Quezi’s mouth, but that was only the result; she didn’t know the process and development of the matter.

Yu Liulang raised his head, took a deep breath before saying, "Ever since Luo Xiu’er returned, she has been despised by her parents, either beaten or scolded every day.

Do you remember when she said she wanted to move out and live alone? She actually found an abandoned house in the village, but it leaked whenever it rained.

I refused Luo Xiu’er at that time, but no one in the village helped her. Whenever it rained, she would get soaked."

Yu Liulang fell into deep recollection, speaking of those matters as if they were still vivid.

"So ultimately, it was Sixth Uncle who helped her? Fixed the house for her?" Mu Shuangshuang paused before speaking.

"Yes, but I was afraid Xiao Hua would misunderstand, so I called Xiao Hua over. Unexpectedly, Xiao Hua was angry.

At that time, Luo Xiu’er voluntarily told me not to go anymore; she said even if she got soaked in the rain, it wasn’t a big deal.

Upon hearing this, I felt uneasy, so I simply continued helping her with the work, eventually fixing the house’s cracks.

The furniture that needed to be added, I also helped carry it in, and Luo Xiu’er invited me for a meal to thank me, which I didn’t agree to."

Listening to this, Mu Shuangshuang felt like she was hearing a melodramatic tale of a scheming woman.

This Luo Xiu’er is not easy to deal with.

Pretending to be pitiful in front of men.

Clearly, she could have paid someone to fix the house, yet she deliberately troubled her Sixth Uncle.

And the most crucial part is, she exploited her Sixth Uncle’s sympathy and Aunt Xiao Hua’s kindness.

"Later, did she use this excuse to bring you some food in front of the whole family?

Then later, she told you she had genuinely no intentions towards you, that the matchmaker was already arranging a marriage proposal, and she wanted to live well, right?"

Mu Shuangshuang casually made a guess at Yu Liulang, who, to her surprise, opened his eyes wide with shock.

Looking at Mu Shuangshuang with a face full of amazement.

"Shuangshuang, how do you know this so well? Did Xiao Hua tell you?"

Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t help but laugh.

These scheming tricks are still the same, really well done.

"No, I guessed. I came to see Aunt Xiao Hua, but hadn’t talked yet before she ran into the room."

Mentioning seeing Feng Xiaohua, Yu Liulang’s emotions became excited.

"Shuangshuang, how is your aunt? Did she cry?"

"She cried, surely cried. Feeling bad is only natural, but Sixth Uncle, this matter is indeed troubling. When you were with Luo Xiu’er the other night, did you drink or what?"

Mu Shuangshuang, at this point, was almost certain that Luo Xiu’er is responsible for this incident.

And she is likely the instigator of the whole affair.

"We didn’t drink. Ever since that incident, Luo Xiu’er has always wanted to be my younger sister.

The night before the incident, she said Matchmaker Zhou found her a marriage proposal, and the man came over for dinner.

But she was afraid, so she wanted me to support her as her elder brother.

After waiting and waiting, Matchmaker Zhou didn’t show up, and Xiuxiu told me not to starve and to eat first.

While eating, I began to feel dizzy, and after that, I don’t know what happened."

Mu Shuangshuang was genuinely frustrated at this point.

This Luo Xiu’er is truly bold, using a trap to harm her Sixth Uncle.

The food must have had issues, right?

How could a normal person forget everything after just one meal?

"Sixth Uncle, do you remember which dishes Luo Xiu’er ate herself at that time?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"She did. At that time, she kept eating vegetables. I asked her to eat some meat, but she refused, saying she needed to maintain her figure, or else she couldn’t get married!"

"Sixth Uncle, you were genuinely naïve. When the matchmaker wasn’t there, you should have come back!" Mu Shuangshuang exclaimed, a bit exasperated.

Yu Liulang was also somewhat guilty of negligence in this matter.

Considering their previous relationship with Luo Xiu’er, he should have avoided it, making things easier.

Now the matter was seen by village people, jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t clear it.

"I was really foolish at that time, feeling sorry for her. But I swear, I never touched her, absolutely never!"

On this point, Yu Liulang is very certain because he... couldn’t.

The follow-up events are pretty clear to Mu Shuangshuang.

The two of them were disgraced in Yu Family Village.

Luo Family demanded Yu Liulang marry Luo Xiu’er.

But this matter is exasperating; Yu Liulang was unfortunately trapped.

"Sixth Uncle, have you told Aunt Xiao Hua about this?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"No, the event just happened. She went home and sent someone with the divorce papers..."
