Chapter 1092: Chapter 1091: Seize the Opportunity 1

Wang Lingzhi’s behavior was not just bad, it was downright malicious to the extreme. To prevent the situation where Xiaoli would not like Xiaowang but would have to marry him because Xiaowang claimed she harassed him, everyone unanimously agreed that Wang Lingzhi deserved no mercy.

Especially the eldest elder of the Wang Family, slamming his walking stick on the ground, "We must make an example of her!"

With the elder of the Wang Family speaking out like this, not to mention everyone else.

"Third Elder, Lingzhi is still young; she is an unmarried girl! Please spare her, all she did was speak a few careless words, didn’t she? In all the neighboring villages, who hasn’t gossiped behind someone’s back? Why must she be punished when it comes to her?" Wang Xinlai’s wife cried desperately, snot and tears running down her face, shielding the Wang Lingzhi who was being denounced by everyone behind her.

Lu San Grandpa squinted his presbyopic eyes and sneered, "Just because others gossip behind people’s backs and don’t get punished, it doesn’t mean their actions are right! Your girl has quite the nerve; to achieve her goal, she went to the commune to falsely accuse Lu Jiang’s family of exploiting and oppressing two adopted children, and she accused Guan Cheng of harassing her, coercing Guan Cheng into becoming your family’s live-in son-in-law. Don’t blame me for repeating it over and over, but your daughter is exceedingly vicious! If it weren’t for the two commune cadres who came to conduct a thorough investigation, revealing the innocence of Lu Jiang’s couple and Guan Cheng, wouldn’t your family have succeeded?"

Wang Xinlai’s wife immediately knelt down, pulling Wang Lingzhi to kneel with her, "Lu San Grandpa, Lingzhi is young and doesn’t understand the ways of the world. Look, the Lu Family and Guan Cheng didn’t suffer any loss, so can’t you and everyone else spare Lingzhi? After we go home, her father and I will certainly scold her, punish her, and make sure this kind of thing never happens again!"

Wang Lingzhi had only wanted to destroy the reputation of the Lu Family and Guan Cheng to make Guan Cheng compromise and marry her, but she never expected the situation to take such a sudden turn, and now she might even be punished!

Her face, at that moment, was as white as snow, with a look of terror in her eyes.

She clutched her mother’s hand tightly, "Mom, please save me, I don’t want to be punished, I don’t want to be punished, I’m willing to marry Guan Cheng to compensate him, to restore his reputation!"

At this point, she was still unable to let go of Guan Cheng.

Hearing her daughter’s suggestion, Wang Xinlai’s wife immediately crawled to Guan Cheng’s feet, "Guan Cheng, Guan Cheng, please say something. Considering Lingzhi’s heartfelt devotion toward you, she had no ill intent toward you. Please forgive her. You’re the one involved here; if you say you forgive her, no one will punish Lingzhi!"

Guan Cheng had already dodged her as she approached him, swiftly moving to stand beside Father Lu.

After he stood firm, he looked at Wang Lingzhi and her mother with cold eyes and said indifferently, "The Lu Family who raised and nurtured me suffered a grave injustice, and I, a decent young man, had my reputation tarnished, and you call that having no ill intent? That’s utterly ludicrous!"

If it weren’t for the responsible actions of the two commune cadres, who did not blindly believe accusations but came to investigate and gather evidence, then, with such a stigma, the Lu Family and he himself would have faced endless trouble, endless criticism, and conflict. He had seen too many incidents in the city where people were arrested for rumors and hearsay, most of which were caused by a casual remark by someone else.

"It wasn’t me, it wasn’t my idea, it was Wu Lijuan, it was Wu Lijuan!" In her attempt to escape blame, Wang Lingzhi immediately shifted the accusation onto Wu Lijuan, "It was Wu Lijuan who told me to do this, she said that as long as I did, Guan Cheng would be with me!"
