Chapter 266: Dowry (Requesting Monthly Pass)
"I had no other choice, I’m carrying your child, and if I didn’t listen to the elders, I would be kicked out, and the child would have no father! Plus, my parents even said that as long as I behaved well, I could marry Brother Da Wei in a proper wedding! I was blinded by love, too eager to marry you, Brother Da Wei, that’s why I did what I did! Brother Da Wei, for the sake of the child, please forgive me!"
Li Jinzhi cried as she spoke, and upon hearing her words, not only did the Cloth Store’s proprietress but also He Dawei turn their gaze toward the He Family elders.
Her accusations seemed vivid and lifelike. Could it be possible?
The way people looked at the He Family elders changed! That was too mean, using such tactics to coerce a woman who had no family to rely on and was carrying their family bloodline. How despicable!
He Laoshuan grew even more wary of Li Jinzhi. This woman was too venomous; the lies slipped off her tongue so easily. If he didn’t clarify things quickly, the He Family might lose all their dignity in town.
He immediately started swearing oaths: "If it really was our old couple who had such ideas, who let this vile woman, Li Jinzhi, do such things, then may our He Family be cursed to have no descendants!"
This really was a vicious oath.
It was common knowledge that the He Family had only one heir across generations, and He Dawei was the only one. Once this oath was taken, half of the suspicion was lifted from everyone’s minds.
Seeing how she had pushed He Laoshuan to utter such a curse, Li Jinzhi realized that this matter needed to be faced sooner or later. As everyone’s attention was on the He Family at the moment, she slowly started to slip away, trying to find an opportunity to escape first and find a place to hide for a few days.
