When Madam Liu heard this, she refused to accept it. She believed that there was something between Chen Mengtian and Chen Qing, because at that time, she was the first to see Chen Baozhu and Chen Mengtian arguing with each other.

Chen Qing’s name kept coming out from between their lips and popping up in the argument.

If two women argued while shouting a man’s name, what other reason aside from love would cause them to argue?

That was why she immediately retorted, “Lad, are you saying that Chen Baozhu is lying?”

Jiang Zebei cast an indifferent and aloof glance at Madam Liu.

He ignored her question and spoke to the villagers again. “If anyone gossips about Tian Tian behind my back and destroys her reputation, even if I have to risk my life to do it, I will bring that person to court.

“If anyone has questions, you can come and question me. Tian Tian is terrified after she fell into the water. If she suffers any losses because of certain people due to certain things, I will also look into this until the very end.

“Time will reveal to us just who is lying in the future.”

Once he finished speaking, he did not even look at Madam Liu. He grabbed Chen Mengtian’s hand, and they went toward the mountains.

He was angry now, and he showed it clearly.

It had to be said that the villagers were actually not familiar with Jiang Zebei.

He was sent to be enlightened from a young age, and he spent long amounts of time in school. Whenever he came back, he would only stay for a few days before he went back to town.

The only person who was quite familiar with Jiang Zebei was Chen Qishan, the village chief’s son.

If Chen Mengtian was really falsely accused, then even if the son of the Jiang family was angry, he was still being magnanimous.

The villagers could not help but start reflecting on what happened. Madam Liu was the only one who spat at Chen Mengtian’s back.

When the villagers around her saw this, they left.

In truth, the villagers were most worried that if Jiang Zebei really passed the imperial examination in the future and became a civil servant, he might remember this event and take revenge on them in the future.

…

Jiang Zebei strode away with Chen Mengtian, who just kept smiling while she was dragged around.

She did not say anything before. One of the reasons was because she noticed that she knew most of the villagers, and she could even identify them.

The other reason was because she had just arrived and did not know what to say. She was worried that she would say something wrong.

Earlier, when Jiang Zebei explained the situation to the villagers and threatened them, he had also given her a hint by pressing her hand down to not act rashly.

As for the threat? Chen Mengtian was not an idiot.

There was no way she could not figure out the underlying meaning behind Jiang Zebei’s words.

He was going to take the imperial examination in the future, and he believed that he was definitely going to pass it, so he said he was going to officially marry her at that time.

And the villagers were terrified of people who became civil servants.

She did not expect that the boy holding her hand had a pretty good head on his shoulders.

Because of it, the rumors in the village would indeed lessen, and as time went by, this matter would be left to its own.

Chen Mengtian giggled, and when Jiang Zebei heard it, he could not help but stop. He turned his head and gave her a puzzled look.

When he saw how brightly she smiled, he cocked his eyebrows. “Why are you so happy?”

Chen Mengtian’s sweet smile grew wider. “You told the villagers that you will marry me when you pass the imperial examination and become a civil servant. If you don’t manage to do it, won’t that mean that you were lying to them? What if they bring this up again at that time?”

She asked this question with a smile, without treating it too seriously.

After all, since Jiang Zebei was the one who asked her the question, she could not just say directly that she had managed to vent her frustrations when he threatened the villagers.

That was why she gave a casual reply to answer his question, but when Jiang Zebei heard her words, he could not help but overthink things.

His rather pleasant countenance instantly sank.
