Daya was so angry at these words that she burst into tears, clutching the earring and repeating, "This was a gift from my third sister, not from you."

Li held the person in her arms with heartache.

Who can say for sure? She, as the mother, believes it, but what about the neighbors? That skinny guy relied on that to inquire all the way here today.

The thought of Da Ya facing all these rumors and gossip in the future made her feel like her heart was being ripped out.

Wang Yi suppressed her anger. She didn't know how this skinny monkey dared to come, but now was not the time to think about such things. The most important thing was not to let the skinny monkey confirm this matter.

Otherwise, my eldest sister definitely wouldn't have survived!

She whispered a few words to the two heads.

Er Tou was shocked for a moment, but quickly composed himself and opened the courtyard gate as instructed by San Mei.

When Li saw the door open, she wanted to scold her son, but then she thought of her daughter and stopped talking, pulling her closer to her.

As soon as the door opened, the villagers all gathered around.

A secret engagement is something you won't find anywhere else in the entire Shangyun Town. No one wants to miss out on this explosive gossip.

Wang Yiyi shouted, "You say these earrings belong to my sister, what proof do you have?"

The skinny monkey looked at the villagers watching with even more smugness: "What evidence do you need? Everyone in the village has seen your older sister wear these earrings. They belong to your older sister."

Wang Yiyi took two more steps towards the door, making sure everyone could hear her, before saying, "Just because someone saw my older sister wearing earrings doesn't mean they can claim they belong to her. That's ridiculous! I saw you wearing clothes, so those clothes are mine, aren't they?"

The skinny monkey pointed at Wang Yiyi: "Your argument is sophistry, it doesn't make any sense..."

"So you're right?" Wang Yiyi interrupted him. "Even if we take a step back, why can't you have stolen this earring? Could it be that you found it and are trying to extort money from my family?"

Skinny Monkey felt a little guilty after hearing what she said. This earring was given to him by Jiang Chengzong. The earring he had picked up before had disappeared.

But Jiang Chengzong was the magistrate's future son-in-law, and he dared not disobey his words. This was far more terrifying than any person who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He puffed out his chest and waved his hand: "What do you know, you little brat? Your older sister has deep feelings for me, that's why she gave me the earrings. I can't explain this to you."

"So you returned the earrings to my older sister?"

The skinny monkey immediately perked up again: "Yes, I'm the one who gave it to him."

Wang Yiyi sneered, "You gave them to me? Do you know how much a pair of earrings costs? You couldn't afford them even if you sold yourself. Everyone knows you're still single because your family is poor. If you could afford earrings, would you still be a bachelor?"

She added, "You know Jiang Chengzong, right? Even he can't afford it, so how could you possibly afford it?"

Skinny Monkey felt a little guilty. He really didn't know how much those earrings cost, and subconsciously said, "You're talking nonsense. Jiang Chengzong is going to become the county magistrate's son-in-law. How could he not afford such a small amount of money?"

It was indeed Jiang Chengzong who was behind this.

They've already helped him climb the social ladder; they could have just broken off the engagement peacefully, but he insisted on both profit and fame, leaving his elder sister no way out at all.

A cold glint flashed in her eyes. He was being given a way out, but he wouldn't take it. Well, then he'd take the path to his death.

Jiang Chengzong is going to become the county magistrate's son-in-law?

The crowd was once again shocked by the news; the Jiang family had really struck it lucky.

Suddenly, the crowd fell silent for a moment, followed by an even louder gasp.

The men all opened their eyes wide, then hurriedly covered the children's eyes, while the women covered their own eyes, peeking openly through their fingers. The only thing they had in common was that each of them could stuff an egg into their mouth.

This skinny monkey.

he!

He was actually a eunuch!

The eldest daughter of the Wang family and a eunuch secretly pledged their lives to each other!

Er Tou glanced at Wang Yiyi with a smug look on his face. He had chosen a good time, hadn't he?

That's right, Er Tou pulled down the skinny monkey's pants.

As soon as Wang Yiyi smiled, Wang Dashan came over, covered her eyes, and glared at Er Tou fiercely.

This kid is too reckless.

Li covered Da Ya's eyes with one hand and Er Ya's eyes with the other, while her own eyes were wide open.

Then she laughed again: "A eunuch dares to say he's pledged his life to my daughter?"

She was full of confidence at that moment.

Skinny Monkey stood there stunned for a moment, looking at his lower body and then at his pants on the ground, before finally remembering to pick them up.

Upon hearing Li's words, his face turned bright red, and he couldn't utter a single word.

What could he say under the watchful eyes of everyone?

Even if someone believes him when he tells what happened that day, the fact that he is a eunuch cannot be denied.

Jiang Chengzong, county magistrate—he didn't care about anything else now; all he wanted to do was run.

He thought it that way, and that's what he did.

Before he could run two steps, Big Head punched him to the ground: "A eunuch dares to try and scam me?"

Skinny Monkey was beaten and curled up on the ground. At that moment, he even hoped that Big Head would really beat him to death.

In this way, he wouldn't have to face all of this, and wouldn't have to hear people call him a eunuch.

Wang Yiyi came over and pulled Da Tou back: "Brother, don't kill him. This skinny monkey definitely wouldn't be that bold. If we take him to the authorities, we'll definitely find the mastermind behind it."

Wang Datou finally stopped what he was doing. "Consider yourself lucky, kid."

Wang Dashan immediately went to find the village head and wanted to take the skinny monkey to the county government.

Jiang Chengzong had been watching all this from the shadows. He never expected that this skinny monkey was actually a eunuch. What a waste of his money!

Seeing that the Wang family was going to send the man to the authorities, he calmly went home, showing no intention of saving the skinny monkey's life.

The village head, along with the Wang family and some gossipy villagers, rushed to the county government office.

A eunuch was trying to force a respectable woman to be his wife. Magistrate Li took the matter very seriously and immediately opened a court hearing.

The skinny monkey was terrified when he saw the magistrate, and without being asked much, he confessed everything.

"It wasn't me, it was Jiang Chengzong. He said that as long as I went to the Wang family to propose marriage, he would give me a sum of money. I was bewitched. Magistrate, please forgive me."

Jiang Chengzong?

Magistrate Li frowned. He knew this man all too well; he was quite talented, and Magistrate Li had always valued talent, so he had given him a few pointers. Who would have thought that greed would lead him to set his sights on Magistrate Li's daughter?

His daughter was destined to marry a nobleman, and Jiang Chengzong almost ruined his plans.

He had kept quiet about the matter for fear of ruining his daughter's reputation, but now that the opportunity had come, he immediately ordered his officers to arrest Jiang Chengzong.

When the skinny monkey saw the magistrate's face darken, he became even more frightened and dared not mention that Jiang Chengzong was his son-in-law.

Jiang Chengzong was leisurely drinking tea at home when two government officials suddenly entered and, without saying a word, tied him to a horse.

Enraged, he roared, "I'm the magistrate's son-in-law! How could you treat me like this?"

"You've got some nerve, trying to claim kinship with our county magistrate." The officer punched him twice, then stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth, threw him onto the horse, and took him to the county town.
