They were clearly in the wrong, but they weren’t about to leave empty-handed after coming all this way.
The woman’s eyes darted around. Wiping away tears, she began to speak. "Oh, young comrade, it’s not like we forced Song Zhenbao to marry our youngest son."
"It’s just that the girl has a crooked mind. Back in the village, she saw people fooling around in the woods and got curious. She tricked my son into bed with her, and they were caught red-handed. We had no choice but to arrange a wedding..."
"It’s the absolute truth! Everyone in the village knows about it..."
More drama! And it was explosive!
The crowd was completely floored by this revelation.
It wasn’t just the guests; the Song family, the Tong family, and even Song Zhenbao herself were left completely stunned.
Song Zhenbao felt the world spin. It was as if the universe held a deep-seated grudge against her.
’Why is my life so miserable? If I was going to be reborn, why couldn’t it have been before any of this happened?’
’It was clearly their idiot son who watched other people in the woods, then came home and forced himself on me.’
After her rebirth, she had considered poisoning the entire Zhang family. But she wasn’t willing to risk her own life in the process. Instead, she intimidated them, threatening to have their son face a firing squad. She had successfully made the Zhang family swear they would never speak of it.
And because she was afraid Tong Yuanbin still had feelings for Xia Zhaoyun, she had used a few tricks to make sure something happened between them. That way, she wouldn’t have to explain the loss of her virginity.
’This engagement is only happening because I’m pregnant. If the Tong family tries to back out, I’ll take them down with me!’
With that thought, Song Zhenbao took a page from her mother’s book and adamantly denied everything.
"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, can’t you just leave me alone? You’re the ones who spread all those vile rumors in the village just to ruin my reputation and force me to marry your idiot son!"
Song Zhenbao covered her face, crying, "Why are you so determined to see me miserable?"
"If what you’re saying were true, would I have just swallowed my pride and kept quiet? Wouldn’t I have reported your son long ago and had him face a firing squad? You can’t just make up lies like that."
The onlookers were now confused. Both sides seemed to have a point.
