Chapter 1652: Chapter 1652 They Are Jealous!

"We’ve come here also hoping that your family would take out that red gemstone and let this young lady return it to the shrine in the cave."

"What red gemstone, what red orb? There’s no such thing!"

Huzi’s mother, hearing what Shan’er’s father said, raised her voice again.

How could she admit it? If everyone knew that this incident was caused by her son’s mischievousness, her son would end up being killed by the people in the county.

You must know, many people in the county were killed by the hailstorm.

"Head of the family, don’t listen to their nonsense! There’s no such red orb; our Huzi is mischievous, but he never took any red orb. They’re making it up; they’re talking nonsense," she said.

She pointed at Lin Caisang, Shan’er’s parents, and the sibling pair.

"They’re just trying to pin all this on our Huzi, you can’t let them harm him like this, can you?

Our Huzi is still young; he doesn’t understand anything. They just want to harm our Huzi. These people must have black hearts. What red orb? I’ve never seen such a thing.

Head of the family, you have to believe me, we’ve been husband and wife for so many years, I could never lie to you," she pleaded.

"Shut your mouth!"

Huzi’s father barked at her once more.

Compared to his wife’s tears, he had more faith in his son’s nature—what couldn’t that boy do?

"Where’s that red orb, bring it here quickly!"

He reached out to his wife, demanding the red gemstone.

"What red orb? I’ve never seen it," she kept repeating, shaking her head, refusing to admit she had seen any red orb, least of all to take it out.

If she handed it over, her son would indirectly become a murderer, and the people in the county wouldn’t let her son off.

No matter what, she had to protect her own son. As for the others, whether they lived or died, what did it have to do with her? Why should she care about them?

"You—"

Huzi’s father was infuriated by this ignorant woman.

He raised his hand, wanting to slap her hard, but remembering their years together as husband and wife, he could not bring himself to do it.

"Head of the family, you really can’t listen to them," Huzi’s mother continued to proclaim her innocence, her eyes reddened as she glared at Lin Caisang.

"Such a young girl, who knows where they found her from. The people from Wuzhu Teahouse are all very capable; it’s impossible that they would have such a young-looking girl.

Head of the family, this little girl is definitely not from Wuzhu Teahouse, she must be a swindler! It’s these people, using this little con artist to frame our Huzi!

They just can’t stand to see our Huzi doing well. Our Huzi is too clever, they’re just jealous!"

The crowd: "..."

So Huzi is too clever?

How come they never knew this ’fact’?

This household’s Huzi, aside from knowing how to do bad things, what else is he good at?

"Huzi’s mother, what are you saying? This young lady is indeed from Wuzhu Teahouse. I wouldn’t dare make a joke of the Wuzhu Teahouse people even if I were bolder," Shan’er’s father said to Huzi’s mother.

Does she think that just because she lies every day, everyone else does too?

"Who knows if she’s really from Wuzhu Teahouse, hmph, in any case, what you’re saying is not true. I’ve never seen any red orb; believe it or not!"
