Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten (Book 1)

16-20

"What belongs to your uncle belongs to me; we don't separate the two! I'm also your auntie, so shouldn't you repay me?!"

Yun Xi latched onto Chen Lixue's sore spot and smiled. "I already told you earlier: bring Cousin back, and I'll naturally repay you!"

"That's not necessary! You can repay me by staying in our home!"

"Since Auntie is so reluctant to bring Cousin back, doesn't that mean you're guilty? I'm a daughter of the Yun family, not your Liang family! You had Cousin replace me and return to the Yun family. But if you can't get rid of me, Liang Xinyi can only use the last name of Liang and she can't change into a Yun! That's why you did such an evil thing and pushed me off the cliff!"

Yun Xi was a child who had been fostered by the Liangs to begin with. However, Chen Lixue was so adamant about her not leaving and had desperately latched onto Yun Xi to forbid her from going back to the Yuns.

Also, Liang Xinyi wasn't even there. The spectating villagers could figure out what was going on.

They dared to assume that Chen Lixue really had committed an atrocious act in order to allow her own precious daughter to replace the real Yun Xi and enter the Yun family. She had pushed the real Yun heiress down a cliff!

How abhorrent!

Everyone instantly changed the way they looked at Chen Lixue. They whispered to each other and showed all sorts of contempt and disdain.

Chen Lixue also realized that she had reacted too strongly when she overheard the villagers' comments.

Before she could even let go, a dark shadow ran out from the crowd and shoved Chen Lixue aside. He grabbed Yun Xi's arm with great concern.

"Yun Xi! It's really you! You're still alive! This is great!"

Yun Xi looked up. The anxious young man in front of her was none other than her only childhood friend from the village, Tang Cheng.

She was destined to bring bad luck to her entire family as the star of death; this was originally just something the fortune teller had said. However, Chen Lixue the big mouth had publicized this so none of the other children in the village had dared to approach her. Tang Cheng had been the only exception.

As soon as Tang Cheng opened his mouth, it allowed Yun Xi to latch onto the main point.

All the villagers had assumed she had returned to Jingdu, and Tang Cheng was the only one who had thought she was dead. Could it be...

"I clearly saw your Auntie push you off the cliff, and I thought you had died. Luckily, you survived. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had anyone else to play with!"

"Tang Cheng, it was really you..."

Fortunately, she had an eye witness.

Tang Cheng's loud voice directly proved Chen Lixue's crime. All the villagers began pointing at Chen Lixue to scold her for her vile behavior.

In the face of all those accusations, Chen Lixue didn't forget to defend herself. "What are you all squawking about?! Which one of your eyes saw me push her down?!"

"Both my eyes saw it! It was right next to the banyan tree; there are still footprints there! Should I bring everyone there to take a look?"

After having learned about Chen Lixue's brazen shamelessness and having personally witnessed how Yun Xi had been pushed off, Tang Cheng was filled with indignation.

"Uncle Liang, I don't want to interfere with your family matters, but your wife is truly too evil. This won't do! I need to go to town and report this to the police!"
