After receiving her affirmative reply, Xuemei covered her face.

How to do?
What should she do?
If this matter spreads out, what will Brother Siqi think of her?

Do you think she is a mean woman?

Do not!
No!
Absolutely not!
She can't live without Brother Siqi!
She can't live without brother Siqi...

Compared to her confused thoughts, Zhu Laosi had already weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

"Your Majesty! The villain and Xuemei were in love with each other and couldn't help themselves for a moment, so..." Zhu Laosi licked his face and smiled: "...it's the villain's fault for dirtying your eyes!"

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

If they hadn't watched the whole thing, they might have believed his lies!
"Your Highness! You see, it's already getting late. The villain and Xuemei won't be in your way anymore. Will the villain and Xuemei go back first?" Zhu Laosi asked, but he didn't forget to pull his hand quietly. Xuemei.

Xuemei suddenly came back to her senses from her chaotic thoughts, and knew that the most important thing at this moment was to leave here first to avoid more people discovering what happened between her and Zhu Laosi.

not to mention……

He is a majestic prince and will leave their small village sooner or later. Once they leave, no one will know what happened between her and Zhu Laosi. By then, she still hopes to marry brother Siqi!
Thinking about this, Xuemei's eyes rekindled hope.

But the next moment...

The sound of rapid footsteps coming from a distance instantly shattered the hopes that had just risen in her heart.

"Why, how come there are so many footsteps?" Xuemei was completely panicked. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, her eyes full of resentment fell on Dugufan and Lu Zhaozhao: "It's you, it's you." The noise you just made attracted them, right? It was you, right?"

Lu Zhaozhao ignored the resentment in her eyes and said calmly: "You have certain suspicions about Yu'er's death. These are the county magistrate and government officials who are here to take you back to the county office to inquire about the case!"

Xuemei's pupils shrank suddenly: "Yu, Yu'er is my best friend, how could I harm her?"

"Yes!" Zhu Laosi hurriedly agreed: "Xuemei and Yu'er are good friends. Xuemei was also very sad about Yu'er's death, so how could she be suspicious?"

"You can tell the county magistrate yourself these words!" Lu Zhaozhao said.

When Zhu Laosi heard this, he quickly retracted his hand holding Xuemei and said with a dry smile: "Since the yamen servant wants to take Xuemei back to the county yamen, I won't interfere here anymore. I will go first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted his legs and walked away.

However, before he could take a few steps, he was confronted by the county magistrate and government officials who were rushing over.

Behind them, there were villagers who heard the commotion and came to watch the excitement.

When Zhu Laosi saw this, he subconsciously stepped back.

"Eh? Isn't that Xuemei from the old Shen family? Why are you here so late at night?"

"That's right! Not only is she there, but also Zhu Laosi, and look at them both, they are still disheveled!"

"Could it be that Xuemei was ruined by that bastard Zhu Laosi?"

"I look like it!"

……

Under the light of the torch, the disheveled appearance of Zhu Laosi and Xuemei could not be hidden.

And the whispers of the surrounding people were like sharp knives, pushing Xuemei's despair to its peak.

"Your Majesty!" Qian Xun stepped forward and called respectfully.

Dugufan nodded lightly: "This should be the place where the deceased was buried in the river. Let the government officials search around to see if they can find any clues?" "Yes!" Qian Xun responded and waved to the government officials.

The officials immediately dispersed in all directions, looking for clues.

"Xuemei! Tell my aunt, did this bastard Zhu Laosi ruin you?" A woman wearing a green dress asked: "Don't be afraid! The county magistrate is here, as long as you If you say yes, we will ask the county magistrate to arrest him directly!"

"Yes! As long as you say yes, we will ask the county magistrate to arrest him!" The surrounding villagers agreed.

Xuemei's face was almost transparent and she opened her mouth, but no words came out.

But Zhu Laosi on the side suddenly became anxious.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Which of your eyes saw me ruining Xuemei?" Zhu Laosi cursed.

"You look disheveled right now. If you say you have nothing, who would believe you?"

"Yes! You didn't ruin Xuemei, could it be that Xuemei did it voluntarily?"

"You don't want to see what a bear you look like? Can Xuemei like you?"

"that is!"

……

The villagers kept talking to each other, but they just missed spitting on Zhu Laosi.

Zhu Laosi was so angry that he walked quickly to Xuemei and pulled her sleeves: "Xuemei and I are in love, what does it have to do with you if something happens?"

"A person like you, who has no family background, no good looks, and is drunk all day long, is Xuemei blind, so she can fall in love with you?"

"I'm afraid not, he's not sober yet, right?"

"I think [-]% of the time it is, otherwise how could you say such shameless words?"

……

Facing the ridicule, ridicule, and abuse from the villagers, Zhu Laosi's face turned red with anger, and he pulled Xuemei up from the ground with a strong hand.

"I want you to open your eyes today and take a closer look. Are I and Xuemei in love?" After saying this, Zhu Laosi put his arm around Xuemei's waist with one hand and pinched her chin with the other. , lowered his head, and was about to kiss her.

Xuemei, whose mind had been filled with despair, looked around in confusion until she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye. The despair in her heart was instantly filled with panic and fear, and she immediately broke away from Zhu Laosi's grasp at all costs. bondage.

"Brother Siqi..." Xuemei staggered and ran towards the familiar figure: "...Listen to me, it's not like what Zhu Laosi said. I am not in love with him. I don't..."

The surrounding villagers were not surprised by what she said, and they criticized and abused Zhu Laosi again.

Zhu Laosi's eyes were red with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't force her anyway. Believe it or not, I will pull her down if you don't believe me!"

Si Qi looked at the pale and trembling person in front of her, as if she would fall to the ground at any time. Finally, she couldn't bear it and reached out to hold her arm: "Did he bully you?"

Xuemei bit her pale lips lightly and said nothing, just looking at him with red eyes.

Si Qi gave her a reassuring smile: "It's okay! You can rest assured that the county magistrate is here and I will definitely give you justice!"

"Shen Xuemei! If you dare to talk nonsense, I won't let you go!" Zhu Laosi threatened loudly.

Xuemei's body trembled, and her eyes suddenly turned red again.

Seeing this, the surrounding villagers thought she was frightened and shouted, asking the county magistrate to arrest Zhu Laosi quickly.
