C206 face-to-face

Mian Niang's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to shock the entire audience. Everyone's gazes were focused on her, and Aunt Wang's jaw almost dropped from shock.

She was the first to react. "Mian Niang, do you think us big families are fools? Since you and Mistress Yun are so close, there's no need to use such a foolish method to help her speak up, right?"

"Aunt Wang, you can't be like this. You have to let me finish speaking first so you can distinguish the truth from the lies."

Mian Niang's gaze swept across the area, moving from Aunt Wang's feet all the way to her legs and then to her waist. She immediately recalled the bucket of water she had splashed on her body before. Naturally, it would not cause too much damage, but it made Aunt Wang's heart turn cold.

This Mian Niang who had a good temper could do anything.

When they heard the Elementary Scholar next door crying like ghosts and howling like wolves, and that Mian Niang did not even count as a wife, they did not know if that was true or not. Aunt Wang was always suspicious of what had happened recently, after all, this woman did not say a single word, when she attacked, she really did not care.

There were some misgivings in Aunt Wang's heart, and she was full of unwillingness, but she still said: "Then tell me."

Everyone was surprised that she looked so weak and powerless in front of Mian Niang.

Only the father and son knew what had happened to her. The father lowered his head, unwilling to speak. There was a little unease on his face, but it was still Mistress Yun's innocence that was more important.

Mian Niang also didn't have any intentions of making things difficult for the Aunt Wang. She was Mistress Yun's mother-in-law, so if she were to say something too much against her mother, it would only make things difficult for her.

"In the past two days, Mistress Cloud went with me to the city, and the people of our village could testify to this. Initially, it was just an outsider misunderstanding that we were a couple, but later on, for convenience's sake, we simply called each other husband and wife, and there were also many intimate contacts between us. If your niece is right, then she might be referring to me.

When she finished speaking, Mian Niang coughed lightly. She really didn't know how she got such a shifty eye.

Furthermore, other than her facial features that were different from the "adulterer" in the legends, the rest of her characteristics fit as well. Aunt Wang still wanted to argue with her but he could not argue with her husband and son since he had to return Mistress Yun's innocence no matter what. He immediately ran off with his four elders, leaving behind the words "I'll go fetch her".

The villagers were still spectating, when A Yunniang shouted, "Everyone disperse." After inviting a few highly respected people into his house to testify, the rest of the people left.

Fu Zi's parents were still in the courtyard. A Yunniang did not invite them to go inside the house to sit, he just wanted to watch them get frozen to vent his daughter's anger. On the contrary, he just wanted to pull Mian Niang into the house with him to warm her.

"Mm, then go and busy yourself. Come back later."

He would definitely come back in a moment. After he brought the person with him, he would have to come back to confront him.

As Mian Niang walked out of the front door of Mother Yun's house, she heard A Yun's father calling for his mother and father to enter the house.

A Yunniang was still angry, unceremoniously snorting before entering the house. A Yun's father was helpless, in the end, he was still his daughter's mother-in-law.

He couldn't let his parents stand here forever just because he wanted to protect his mother and father.

Aunt Wang didn't want to go in yet she was forcefully dragged in by his husband. "Enough, stop embarrassing yourself, don't you think that it's enough?"

She grumbled and followed him into the house.

Mian Niang laughed as she shook her head, it was a good thing that the plug was directed towards Mistress Yun, if not, she would not be able to live such a life for her mother-in-law who was like Aunt Wang.

Mian Niang was not in the mood to fight with his mother. She had woken up too early this morning and was tired out. If she did not have anything to do in a while, she would definitely go to sleep first.

But now, Mian Niang unloaded the donkey cart and the things inside the carriage. She glanced at the two empty vats, changed into her usual clothes, and took her carrying pole and went to fetch the bucket of water.

There was someone at the edge of the well. When they walked in, they realized it was Chen Daniu.

He was also fetching water, but the way he bent over looked a little unnatural.

After greeting him twice, Mian Niang calmly waited at the bottom of the well. However, she wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but she felt a sense of being measured by four or five fingers.

His expression seemed even more unnatural and his movements even more rigid.

Mian Niang looked at the rapidly shaking wheels and couldn't help but to be a little worried. "Big Brother Daniu, are you alright?"

"Ah, it's fine. What can I do for you? Of course I'm fine."

Chen Daniu denied again and again, and then left before the two buckets of water were filled to the brim.

Mian Niang looked at his back which looked even more strange, and couldn't help but think of what his wife had said to him this morning. She was a little worried that there might be some conflict between the two of them due to this matter, hence Sister-in-law Da Niu started fighting with him.

Mian Niang shook her head. The two had been married for more than a year, although Sister-in-law Da Niu looked a little fierce, she didn't seem like such a strong person.

The water on the well had formed layer after layer of ice. There was not much for children to play with, as they would often come here in the winter to skate, and adults had to be careful when walking up to prevent themselves from falling. However, it was unknown who cleaned up the ice today, so it was not as slippery as before.

Two large vats of water, Mian Niang walked back and forth eight or nine times and finally filled up all the vats. Just as she put down her carrying pole and picked up her broom, she heard the sounds coming from the courtyard next door.

The bolt returned with an unfamiliar woman.

The woman was dressed very plainly. If one looked closely, they would notice that she looked similar to the woman with the plugs. She must be the second cousin that the plugs were talking about, but she had a face full of reluctance, as if she was forced to come here.

Mian Niang thought for a while, put down the broom in her hand, changed back into her men's clothes, and entered the Yun Mother's courtyard.

Second Cousin was forced by the bolt to bring her here. The bolt was so afraid that she would run away, so it kept her in sight that it almost tied her up in the car with a rope.

The bolt didn't say what it was, but she could tell from its posture that it wasn't a good thing.

When she reached the Tian Jia Wan, she would completely understand it in her heart.

This time, he wanted to run even more.

When he turned around, he saw the bolt in his hand, standing behind him, looking as if he would dare to attack if he dared to run. When he saw that familiar figure behind the bolt, he felt like there was nothing else he couldn't understand, and his hope slowly faded away.

She looked at the plug and begged, "Thug, it's elder sister's fault, elder sister's wrong, alright? Please let elder sister go home."

Mian Niang frowned, people who liked to gossip were all like that, they had the drive to spread messages, but did not have the courage to confront others.

Naturally, the person inside the house wouldn't let him go. When the people inside heard the noise outside the door, someone quickly came in to pull them in.

Mian Niang could only stare dumbfoundedly as her elder cousin, Lei Zi, was pulled in with one hand.

If she was not mistaken, the one pulling them was none other than the Aunt Wang.

The cotton door curtain dropped down once again after her cousin, Lei Zi, entered the room. He signalled to Mian Niang with a hand gesture, telling her to go in first.

Mian Niang modestly allowed him to enter, but she pushed the door curtain and entered the room.

The second cousin had been guilty ever since she saw the plug. Now that she was being stared at by the people in the house, she was even more guilty. She kept hiding behind her aunt and was pushed out by her aunt a few times.

They didn't know what these people had talked about after the tit for tat had left. In the end, the tit for tat lady and A Yunniang had stopped, but the atmosphere was still tense.

Mian Niang greeted the few elders politely. Mistress Yun glanced at Yanzi, then stood beside Mian Niang, both of them holding hands. Mistress Yun looked at the Second Cousin Sister very impolitely, "Cousin, you must watch carefully.

As she spoke, she especially held onto Mian Niang's arm. The two of them really could not get closer.

In front of the crowd, Mian Niang felt a little uncomfortable being so close, but she did not push Mistress Yun away.

She still wanted to hide behind her aunt, but Aunt Wang pushed her away in front of Mistress Cloud. The three of them almost put their faces together.

"You've finally steadied yourself."

Mistress Cloud did not hold back her words. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was uncultured of her to go against her elders, but this person in front of her who was making trouble for her, she did not want to give her face.

Lei Zi Cousin took a step back, but was held by the waist by A Yunniang: "If you're closer, you should be able to see clearly whether it's right or wrong. Give me the exact words, you should clear My daughter, and don't let me think that we two aren't good at teaching children."

"That's right, this is related to Mistress Cloud's reputation. Er Ni, don't be muddle-headed." Father Thug finally spoke.

He carried the sternness and righteousness of a senior.

Cousin Yanzi finally nodded under the gaze of the entire room, "That's right, the people I see are them, but my aunt, this is not my fault, look at them standing together with their arms around each other's shoulders, I didn't know she was a girl, I just thought that my wife was restless, and was just going home to give you a reminder, and was thinking that you should ask her if there's any misunderstanding here, but you guys just didn't ask clearly, that's all." You know what your wife is, don't you? My aunt and my uncle are both old and a little muddle-headed. Why do you think you're confused too? "I went to your house this morning to talk about this matter. Do you think you came looking for me afterwards?"

With just a few words, she had pushed all the blame onto the Tulip Family. Aunt Wang patted her on the back and said, "Stop talking nonsense, if not for you, would we even be able to find this place?"
