Chapter 442 - 241
Qian Manhe was infuriated and bellowed, "Whether I’m talking nonsense, let’s have the Master County Magistrate decide tomorrow."
Old man Li also grew angry and shouted with a coarse voice, "Then let’s go, I’ll see it through to the end. With so many witnesses to the fact that this woman shamelessly seduced others first, I’d like to see what the Master County Magistrate will rule. Hmph, unable to resist loneliness while her husband is away at war, she’s sure to be sentenced to a beating."
People outside the courtyard also began to curse Qian Mandua for being loose and shameless.
Upon hearing this, the cries of Qian Mandua and her son grew even louder.
Qian Manhe had never felt such a sense of helplessness as he did today, with the Li family inverting right and wrong, Old man Li making a hasty and misguided decision, onlookers who knew nothing of the truth stirring things up, and the cries of his sister and nephew...
He was completely powerless!
He had thought that by catching the Li family in the act and then intimidating them with a dozen people, he could easily take his sister and nephew away...
Huang Tie came over, patted Qian Manhe on the shoulder, and bowing to Old man Li, said, "Uncle Li, although I’m an outsider, my lord sent me here to back up Second Shopkeeper Qian. May I say a few words?"
Old man Li, whose eyesight was failing and with evening approaching, hadn’t initially noticed Huang Tie standing in the courtyard. Upon hearing Huang Tie’s offer, he immediately put on a smile and bowed back, "Butler Huang jests. Ah, you’ve really caught us in a farce. Please speak, go ahead."
He had not expected that even Landlord Qian would get involved in this matter, sending Butler Huang to intervene.
