CHAPTER 732: CHAPTER 728: NO TURNING BACK (PART 4)

"Someone, come quickly, catch the adulterers, Luo Xiu’er is cheating!" Mrs. Li shouted at the top of her lungs.

Mu Shuangshuang knew it was right to bring Mrs. Li into this.

This matter needed someone like Mrs. Li, who enjoyed the drama and gossip.

Otherwise, she’d have to step in personally.

Mrs. Li’s shout brought out Yu Liulang, Mu Dashan, and Old Sir Luo from the front yard.

The three men rushed quickly towards the backyard.

Several nearby neighbors, clearly hearing Mrs. Li, also hurried out of their houses, spreading the news everywhere.

Since nothing big usually happened, everyone ran faster than anything else when something big did occur.

By the time Mu Dashan and the others burst into the backyard, the walls of the Old Luo Family’s yard were already lined with people watching the drama.

Some even held torches and climbed over the walls into the Old Luo Family’s house.

Mu Shuangshuang took a torch from the kitchen to illuminate the courtyard.

Mrs. Li, taking advantage of the light, was the first to rush inside.

Still shouting, "Catch the adulterers!"

On the bed, Wang Dali had rolled himself into a quilt, leaving Luo Xiu’er’s naked body exposed.

The few people who’d followed in saw the people inside the room but weren’t yet sure it was Luo Xiu’er.

Mrs. Li stepped back two paces, snatched the torch from Mu Shuangshuang, and went to the bedside of Luo Xiu’er, straightening her face before shouting.

"It’s Luo Xiu’er! Luo Xiu’er and Wang Dali are together, conspiring against the Old Yu Family!"

Everyone was a bit stunned.

Especially those who arrived later in the courtyard, who didn’t hear Wang Dali’s voice inside and only knew Luo Xiu’er and Wang Dali were together.

The villagers didn’t think of Wang Dali as a good person, and with Luo Xiu’er being with him, naturally, she wasn’t seen as a good person either, so some women began to curse Luo Xiu’er.

Old Lady Luo’s face had gone ashen in fear.

She murmured, "Why is it Xiuxiu? Wasn’t it Feng Xiaohua?"

"Shut up! What are you saying?" Old Sir Luo shouted loudly.

Old Lady Luo suddenly realized what she’d said.

She turned to look at Yu Si Niang and Mu Shuangshuang.

Realizing both were looking at her with hatred, particularly Yu Si Niang, who was gritting her teeth like she wanted to fight her.

Old Sir Luo was almost collapsing.

He and Old Lady Luo had been planning in the afternoon, thinking about what to do with the tea plantation once it was in their hands—sell it or hire people to manage it themselves.

Now, everything was gone.

His daughter had taken a fancy to that Wang Dali, the rascal.

The tea plantation was out of the question.

"Old lady, explain to me, what’s with what Wang Dali said, and why did you say it wasn’t Xiuxiu? How much wrong has your Old Luo Family done to our Old Yu Family?"

Old Lady Luo wanted to explain but didn’t go to help Luo Xiu’er dress.

She let Luo Xiu’er roll around on the bed, dazed and confused.

Mrs. Li watched with great interest.

She deliberately looked at the crucial parts, cursing in her mind while watching.

[This little whore acts so righteous usually; who would have thought she’s got quite the skill in cheating, even bringing it into her own home.]

Mrs. Li was determined to ruin Luo Xiu’er this time.

How dare she set her sights on the Old Yu Family’s tea plantation.

That was Li Juhua’s asset, anyone who dared to touch it was going against Mrs. Li.

"What’re you all standing around for? Hurry up and see what this slut has done; you won’t want to miss it."

Some bold women from the village came in, pointing and gossiping about Luo Xiu’er.

One even boldly suggested, "Let’s take this little slut out and dunk her in the pig cage."

Some women stepped up to touch Luo Xiu’er’s body.

Luo Xiu’er was burning up; when one woman touched her, she quickly withdrew her hand.

At Luo Xiu’er’s door, Yu Si Niang continued to stare at Old Lady Luo.

"Speak up, old lady!"

Old Lady Luo still said nothing, so Yu Si Niang told Yu Liulang, "Sixth Son, go call the village chief and a few elders from the village to mediate tonight’s affairs."

"No, you can’t call the village chief! If you do, Xiuxiu will die." Old Lady Luo realized, blocking Yu Liulang.

Inside, Mrs. Li led a few women to carry the undressed Luo Xiu’er outside.

Old Lady Luo rushed in, trying to stop them.

"What are you doing? Put my daughter Xiuxiu down, put Xiuxiu down!" Old Lady Luo charged into the room, pushing away the three women carrying Luo Xiu’er.

Luo Xiu’er fell onto the ground with a thud.

The dampness from the ground helped relieve some of her heat.

She writhed like an old buffalo rolling in a mud pit, back and forth.

The women were still ready to move, but Old Lady Luo had already thrown herself over, using her body to shield Luo Xiu’er.

"Xiuxiu, what are you doing? This is..." Old Lady Luo shouted in the room.

Old Sir Luo held Yu Liulang, not allowing him to call the village chief.

Inside and outside, a stalemate ensued.

Mu Shuangshuang stood face to face with Old Sir Luo.

"Everyone, Old Luo Family invited us to dinner tonight because Aunt Xiuxiu said she was going to the county to work as a laundry worker.

She wouldn’t interact with the Old Yu Family in the future. My Aunt Xiao Hua couldn’t resist Aunt Xiuxiu’s pleading. Who knew, tonight Aunt Xiuxiu left us and did this in the backyard.

But that’s not the most important thing. The most important is that Luo Xiu’er’s lover admitted she framed my uncle."

Mu Shuangshuang raised her voice to recount the events.

Meanwhile, Old Lady Luo was still pressing on Luo Xiu’er.

But Luo Xiu’er was squirming so much; like a worm, she slipped past Old Lady Luo in a flash.

Luo Xiu’er rolled into a corner, knocking over the room’s chamber pot.

Half a pot of urine spilled out, splashing onto Luo Xiu’er’s face.

The stench of urine combined with the icy sensation brought Luo Xiu’er slightly back to her senses.

She shivered from the cold and looked down, realizing she wasn’t dressed, and screamed in fright.

Luo Xiu’er instinctively recalled the past events, remembering the pill that had entered her stomach.

"Ah... Wang Dali, it’s you, you harmed me!"

Luo Xiu’er, not caring about her nakedness, yanked the quilt off Wang Dali, only to be kicked in the stomach by him.

"You woman, stop nagging me. I’m not playing with you anymore."

With Luo Xiu’er pulling down the quilt, everyone could see Wang Dali’s face, and several women stepped back fearfully.

Even Old Lady Luo was scared.

Wang Dali climbed up from the bed, addressing the crowd, "This woman is no good; she seduced me and now claims I harmed her."

The situation had completely spiraled out of control.

Wang Dali openly accused Luo Xiu’er of her misdeeds.

Luo Xiu’er would not take it lying down. "Wang Dali, you dared to break into my room; I’ll go to the government and accuse you of insulting a woman, have you imprisoned for life."

Wang Dali hated legal trouble; upon hearing he’d be imprisoned, he thought to himself, might as well eliminate the problem entirely.
