Chapter 151: Forced Marriage (7)
Chapter 151: Forced Marriage (7)
Since all three of them have problems, and Li seems to have a grudge against Wang Mazi, why not start from there?
Liu Zheng had an idea and narrowed his cloudy yet unfathomable eyes. After thinking for a moment, he said word by word:
"True or false, false or true, both of you say that what you said is true. For the sake of the truth and the common reputation of the people of Liujia Village, the two of you should confront each other."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked straight at Wang Mazi, his sharp eyes seemed to see through him.
However, Wang Mazi already had an idea in mind, so he met his gaze without any fear, and responded with a little excitement, "Okay."
Although the situation had taken some twists and turns just now, after all the twists and turns, wasn't it finally under his control? God was really helping me, hahaha.
Wang Mazi couldn't help laughing in his heart, thinking that he could complete the task and would soon be able to break free from Yingying's control.
Thinking of this, his eyes moved slightly and he quickly glanced at the matchmaker he had invited.
The matchmaker, who had been watching the show for most of the day, also raised her eyelids slightly. The moment her eyes met his, her eyebrows flickered, and then her exceptionally bright red lips slightly raised, as if everything was self-evident.
Here, Liu Zheng glanced at Li again, his deep black eyes moved slightly, his sight passed over Liu Dazhi's face, and then he frowned and said to Liu Baolian who was still crying:
"Don't cry yet. Forced marriage is not allowed in Liujia Village. So you can rest assured. As long as you don't want to marry him and your family doesn't agree with this marriage, no one can force you."
When Liu Baolian heard this, her eyes relaxed. The heavy stone in her heart instantly fell, and she slowly stopped sobbing.
Wang Mazi was not only a gangster, but also much older than her. He had even beaten his wife to death. Liu Baolian was going to be a wealthy lady in the future. How could she, a beautiful girl, be stuck in cow dung and ruin her bright future?
So she nodded, but before she could respond, Yu, who had already made plans, raised her chin, glared at Wang Mazi and shouted:
"Of course I don't agree. Is he worthy of it? Besides, he slandered Bao Lian and we can't just let it go. Village chief, you also said that the reputation of this girl is the most important, so he has to pay compensation..."
When Wang Mazi heard this, he also wanted to speak, but he saw that Liu Zheng had pursed his lips and was looking at him with cold eyes, as if to say, "If you want to say it, then let you say it first." So he moved his lips and swallowed the words he was about to say.
Seeing this, Liu Zheng continued, "Don't worry, Old Lady Liu. I, Liu Zheng, will never tolerate anything that insults morality, so I will apologize and we will naturally wait until the matter is clear before we talk about it."
"Well, then let's do as the village chief says. If my daughter is proven innocent later, this bastard will not only have to apologize, but also be paraded around the village with a sign." Seeing that Wang Mazi had agreed, Liu Dazhi said with a stern look in his eyes.
In his heart, his daughter was innocent and had absolutely nothing to do with that damn bastard Wang Mazi. As long as there was a confrontation, this guy would reveal his true colors sooner or later.
"Okay!" Liu Zheng agreed immediately, and while saying this he looked at Li deeply a few times.
If Liu Baolian was really slandered, Liu Zheng's point was not excessive. Otherwise, her reputation would be even worse.
You reap what you sow.
No matter who it is, they should be held accountable for their actions. I hope that what this mother and daughter are hiding is not something out of the ordinary, Liu Zheng thought to himself.
Here, seeing that her son had agreed, Mrs. Yu said nothing more, but Mrs. Li and Liu Baolian were not in a very good mood.
As they looked at Wang Mazi who seemed confident in his decision, they felt increasingly uneasy.
Especially Li, Liu Zheng frequently cast inquiring glances at her, which made her heart tighten for no reason.
Although this old man is old, his eyes are sharp and his mind is flexible.
She might be suspected by him...
If possible, Li would like to pretend to be unconscious, but Wang Mazi's threat to her yesterday is still vivid in her mind. If she pretends to be unconscious, what will she do if this deadbeat gets angry and becomes desperate?
The fact that she and her daughter bribed him to destroy that little bastard Ze Ge'er was enough to make them suffer. If she also had an affair with him, got pregnant, and then even wanted to take his life...
If all these were to be exposed, not only would she be ruined, but her daughter would be ruined as well.
At the same time, Liu Dazhi and that old woman will not let her go. They value the child in her belly so much. And the old man too, he values the reputation of Liujia Village so much, how could he tolerate what she did.
Li no longer dared to imagine the consequences of being exposed, so even though she pretended to be unwell, she would not stay there any longer.
So she stood up by supporting herself on the table, and then walked over slowly with a pale face.
It was obviously a short distance, but Li found it extremely difficult to walk, and even a faint fishy and sweet taste seemed to surge in his throat.
Seeing her approaching quietly, Liu Zheng did not say anything, but instead looked at the two parties with sharp eyes, moving over them. After a while, he said in a deep voice:
"Okay, since both parties have no objection, you two can now tell us when and where your relationship started."
Wang Mazi's eyes lit up for a moment, and he suppressed his excitement and said, "Lian'er, should you speak first, or should I?"
Liu Baolian frowned when she heard this, and she suddenly felt that this statement was not quite reasonable.
Since there was nothing between her and Wang Mazi, why would she say it first? Moreover, this damn scoundrel agreed so readily, was he plotting against her?
Seeing that Liu Baolian was silent and frowning, Liu Zheng asked, "Is there anything unusual?"
For a moment, Liu Baolian, who was afraid of falling into the opponent's trap, was in a dilemma.
There was definitely something wrong, but she couldn't prove her innocence, and if she hesitated for too long, she would be suspected.
After much thought, it seems that the only way out is to refute Wang Mazi.
So she turned her head to look at her family, and then said in a hoarse nasal voice: "...No, let him speak first."
Liu Zheng nodded, "If that's the case, then Wang Mazi will speak first. If you have any objections, you can directly refute them. I and everyone else will watch and we will know who is true and who is false after a debate."
Wang Mazi responded and said slowly: "Just as Lian'er said just now, I almost married Ze'er before, and everyone knows this, but in fact, the person I wanted to marry at the beginning was not him, but Lian'er."
"You're talking nonsense. I had never met you at that time, and my parents never told me about this." Liu Baolian retorted, suppressing the anger that was rising up again.
This damn dog, it turns out that a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, how dare it talk nonsense like this!
"Yes, we didn't have any contact at that time, but I have always been watching you from afar." Wang Mazi smiled faintly, "So when Ling Chuan offered a higher price to buy Ze Ge'er, I was lucky, so I didn't compete with him for her."
"What nonsense! It's not true at all." Li rejected it subconsciously.
After she finished speaking, she instantly became the focus of everyone's attention. She felt like a thorn in her back, and even her palms were sweating.
Li didn't dare to look at Wang Mazi, let alone Liu Zheng whose face suddenly turned cold.
Damn scoundrel, actually mentioning that little bastard at this time, does he want to tell that thing?
Li was suddenly frightened by his own thoughts, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart was growing infinitely.
