Chapter 1104: An Arrow
Gu Xiaoxi closed her eyes. “Xiaoni, someone set me up.”
Hong Xiaoni was stunned. She looked up and rushed forward. “Someone set you up? Who was it? Was it her? It was Chang Yaya who framed you, right?”
She pointed at the woman leaning against the wall and shouted.
Gu Xiaoxi replied, “It’s not her.”
“You even said that you didn’t have an affair with her. Even at this time, you’re still defending her. You still say that you don’t have her in your heart?”
Gu Xiaoxi fixed his gaze on Hong Xiaoni. “I don’t feel good blaming her for something I didn’t do.”
“You have a guilty conscience? In order to protect her, you don’t even want me anymore, right? Have you forgotten how you promised my father?”
“Enough.” Chief Chang was dissatisfied. He looked at Chief Zhou. “We had a good discussion in the house previously. Both sides are at fault in this matter. Are you going back on your word? Are you pushing the blame on us?”
Chief Zhou shrugged and said helplessly, “You can’t blame me for this. Xiaoni is too heartbroken. Women always refuse to believe that their husbands betrayed them.”
Chief Chang was furious. This had happened too suddenly. Before the Chang family could react, the Zhou family had captured the two of them and locked them in the ancestral hall.
For the past two days, they had been discussing how to resolve this matter. However, the matter was beneficial to the Zhou family, so they were very passive.
In particular, the scene of the adultery was at Gu Xiaoxi and Hong Xiaoni’s house. In other words, the Chang family’s daughter had taken the initiative to come to their house and slept with Gu Xiaoxi, only to be caught by Hong Xiaoni on the bed.
The Zhou family insisted that Chang Yaya had seduced Gu Xiaoxi and wanted to snatch the son-in-law from the Zhou family to humiliate the Zhou family.
They even laid out a few pieces of evidence to prove that Chang Yaya was at fault.
Chief Chang asked Chang Yaya, but Chang Yaya said that it was Hong Xiaoni who invited her to her house.
The relationship between the Zhou and Chang families was so bad, how could Hong Xiaoni invite Chang Yaya as a guest? Everyone thought that she was looking for an excuse, and Chief Chang thought so too.
Therefore, the two sides argued for two days. Chief Chang was at a disadvantage. In the end, he finally reached a consensus with Chief Zhou.
It could be said that Gu Xiaoxi was stronger than Chang Yaya and raped her. This way, the other ladies of the Chang family would be less affected.
As for Gu Xiaoxi, he was not a member of the Zhou family anyway. He was only the husband of Zhou Jingui’s niece and had only come to Great Rock Village two years ago after escaping from the famine. He was the one at fault and did not affect the Zhou family much.
However, the Chang family had to compensate the Zhou family with 600 catties of food, and some places had to give in.
After all, Chang Yaya had a relationship with Gu Xiaoxi and still had to be dealt with. Chief Chang actually believed that Chang Yaya had not done such a thing. However, for the sake of the entire Chang family, Chang Yaya had no way out.
After the discussion, the two clans came to take these two people out to deal with them, and this matter was over.
“The two of you have been convicted of adultery. The clans have decided to burn Gu Xiaoxi to death and sink Chang Yaya into the pond.”
Chang Yaya’s face was numb.
However, after glancing at her eldest uncle, Zhou Jingui, Hong Xiaoni suddenly burst into tears. “Gu Xiaoxi, you’ve let me down. You’ve let me down.”
Gu Xiaoxi laid on the ground and looked at the ceiling. He suddenly smiled and said, “It’s good that I’m dead. I’ll go down and apologize to my brother and my sister-in-law and my nephews and nieces.”
Chief Zhou waved his hand. “Take them away.”
Immediately, two people came in and wanted to grab Gu Xiaoxi who was on the ground.
With a swish, the sound of air being torn apart suddenly sounded. An arrow instantly streaked past in front of them and nailed to the wall with a clang.
