I became the villain's deceased wife

"Vanguard, stop shouting! Vanguard...be obedient Vanguard!"

Haoer tried to persuade Song Tian for a long time but to no avail, so he had to give up and explained to Song Tian with a handkerchief in his hand:

"Mother said that Aunt Jiu's handkerchief was left at home and asked me to bring it to her."

As a result, I saw my sister-in-law arguing with a group of people, and the vanguard somehow lost control.

Song Tian patted his head to comfort him, then turned back to the group of silent elders and took out a piece of brown cloth from her arms:

"This is the cloth found where my mother fell. It must have been left by the murderer, and this person is in this meeting hall right now!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was surprised, except... one person.

The patriarch didn't quite believe it:

"Wife Yunzhe, how did you know he was here? Who is this person?"

He had just been awakened by Song Tian's scolding and felt that he should no longer stand idly by and watch Liu's affairs.

But the incident happened several days ago, and he really didn't know where to start.

Song Tian held up the cloth and showed it to the people outside the door, saying with a smile:

"My dog ​​never barks randomly. When I went out just now, he stole the harmful rope and went out to play with it. I guess he smelled the scent left by that person..."

Everyone then looked at Xu who was confronting the dog.

"You are slandering me. It's just a dog. How can you treat me like Bao Gong?"

Xu's face turned blue with anger.

Song Tian didn't want to waste any more time talking to her, so she bent down and lifted up her crimson skirt, revealing the brown petticoat underneath. The threads on the petticoat were uneven, and there was a missing piece.

"what--"

Xu screamed like a pig being slaughtered and quickly squatted down to cover her skirt.

"You...you...you...bullying the elders!"

Her face flushed red, she felt ashamed.

"Could you please explain to me why there is a piece of fabric missing from your petticoat?"

Song Tian didn't care about her crying and wailing. She still lifted up her petticoat and compared the piece of cloth in her hand with the broken piece - it was a perfect match!

The women surrounding him all gasped.

I didn’t expect it was really her!

“Oh, Xie Bocheng, I can’t survive this time!

I, Xu Maoting, have been married to you for so many years, and have never been humiliated like this by a little girl. It would be better for me to die!"

Seeing that her plan was exposed, Xu changed her strategy and started crying and shouting as if she was about to bang her head against the pillar.

Her husband, Xie Bocheng, shuddered with fear and hurried over to stop the man, staring at Song Tian with wide eyes:

"You slut, she is your aunt, how dare you lift her skirt in public, it's simply treasonous!

Patriarch!

Put this disrespectful bitch into the dungeon!"

Xie Boqing's face was completely black.

Inverted!

They are all rebelling!

Xu actually dared to harm people!

And this Song Tian, ​​actually...actually lifted someone's skirt in public!

"Oh, I'm afraid I'm not the one who should go to the dungeon, am I?"

Song Tian naturally refused to give in and looked at Xie Boqing angrily.

"The evidence is solid, so I just want to ask the clan leader whether to take action or not. If the clan elders can't take care of this matter, I will report it to the government and ask the officials to investigate it thoroughly!"

Xie Boqing really has a headache.

He shouted at Xu who was still yelling:

"enough!"

Xu was just pretending to cry, and was frightened into silence by the roar.

"Xu, can you tell me what's going on?"

Xie Bocheng kept winking at her, and Xu understood. She wiped away her non-existent tears and said aggrievedly:

"Chief, it is true that my skirt is missing a piece, but I have never been to that forest, and I don't know how Song Tian got that piece of cloth.

And even if it matches my petticoat, it doesn't mean that I was the one who harmed Liu. Who can prove that she really picked it up in the woods?

She might have stolen the fabric from my petticoat to frame me!"

Song Tian laughed when she heard it:

"Third Auntie is really good at making arguments. I have no grudge against you, why would she want to frame you?"

As she spoke, she suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xu's hand. There were several fine scratches on her palm, covered with black blood scabs.

"Even if you deny the cloth incident, how do you explain the scratches on your hands? They must have been caused by the rope when you tripped my mother."

Xu quickly pulled her hand back. She had been trying to hide it carefully, but she didn't expect that it was still seen by this sharp-eyed girl.

"I accidentally scratched myself while doing housework. What's the matter? Is it bad enough to have a wound?"

As she spoke, her eyes clearly looked guilty.

Song Tian gritted her teeth in hatred.

Has Xu made up her mind to deny it?

There is no DNA identification technology these days, and no one saw her go to the woods, so it's really troublesome.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Xie Yunzhe suddenly pushed through the crowd and walked in, followed by a thin, teenage boy.

It turned out that he told Song Tian that he came back late today just as an excuse.

When he found the piece of cloth left by Xu, he knew that Liu's fall was not that simple.

But this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly with just a piece of cloth and a straw rope. It would be best to find an eyewitness.

So he took a day off today and visited the nearby tenant farmers to see who had passed through the woods that day.

At the same time, he offered a reward of ten taels of silver to anyone who dared to come to court to testify for him.

"There are witnesses who can prove that my mother was indeed tripped by Xu on purpose."

As he said this, he pushed the young man to the front.

“Isn’t this Gensheng?”

Someone recognized it.

Gensheng was a vagrant in the village. He fled here two years ago to escape famine. Some tenant farmers took pity on him and gave him food to eat. Sometimes when they were too busy in the fields, they would ask him to do odd jobs. The wages he got were barely enough for him to make a living.

"I...I had to pee that day, so I went to the woods to relieve myself, and I saw...her..."

Gensheng was a little scared, but still pointed at Xu.

“She used a hoe to dig a hole in the ground. I was curious and wanted to know what she was doing. After a while, a lady passed by with a load on her shoulder. She saw the hole in the ground and avoided it.

She took the hemp rope she had prepared earlier, hid behind a rock and tightened it, causing the lady to trip…"

Gensheng's words caused a cry of surprise, but Xu went forward madly and hit Gensheng on the back.

"You're talking nonsense, I've never been there!"

He was pulled away by Xie Yunzhe.

"I... I was scared at the time and made a noise. She heard me and I was afraid of being discovered, so I... I ran away!"

It was because Xu noticed someone and rushed over to check that her petticoat was scratched by a branch.

Xie Boqing looked at Xie Bocheng angrily:

"Take good care of your wife!"

Xie Bocheng didn't know that his wife was doing this behind his back, but he couldn't get angry in front of so many people, so he could only listen quietly.

Then he turned to Xie Yunzhe:

"My dear nephew, your uncle is also very sad about your mother's matter, but the matter has already happened, and we can't really take it to court and let outsiders laugh at it.

I think it would be better if you ask your uncle to compensate you for the money your mother spent on her treatment, and then have Xu personally come to your mother's house to apologize, and the matter will be over. How do you think?"

Song Tian wondered why it happened like this, her mother almost couldn't be saved.

But Xie Yunzhe had already smiled warmly:

"Just as the patriarch said!"
