Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 173 Taking the blame

"We absolutely cannot let Zhang Zhitong leave!"

"When will Locksmith's men arrive?!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuechu finally understood why Lin Mengyu felt so wronged. It turned out that her cheerful demeanor on the other day was just an act, and she had managed to suppress this matter for so many years!

Moreover, Madam Lin doesn't have much time left. If her past is exposed at this time, regardless of whether it's true or not, her "reputation" built up over a lifetime will be ruined, and she will surely die with her eyes wide open in disbelief!

If Madam Lin dies with her eyes open in dismay, Lin Mengyu will blame himself for the rest of his life and may even be unable to face his family.

It's impossible to predict what terrible things might happen then!

"The lock probably won't arrive for a while! How could things have turned out like this!" Granny Fang was truly taken aback!

Liu Yuechu grabbed a stool from the carriage and rushed over, shouting, "No matter what, we can't let him take Lin Mengyu away!"

Seeing that she was heading straight for the alley, Granny Fang had no choice but to have the coachman and Liu Tao follow her!

She stood there waiting for Fang Suozi, only regretting that her son was so slow to arrive, wishing he had a pair of wings to fly over!

At this moment, Zhang Zhitong had already kicked the two little beggars away and was about to hug Lin Mengyu.

But before he could even make a move, he felt a sharp pain in his forehead. Liu Yuechu picked up the stool and smashed it over his head!

"I'll beat you to death, you shameless scoundrel!"

She grabbed a stool and started smashing it, but Zhang Zhitong reacted quickly and snatched the stool away!

"Liu Yuechu, I advise you to stay out of this, otherwise your Liu family will be tainted, and your man will divorce you!"

"Pooh!"

Liu Yuechu stood in front of Lin Mengyu, hands on her hips, and started cursing, "Do you think everyone is as heartless and stupid as you? You deliberately made up rumors to slander your own aunt's reputation and forced your cousin to marry you. People like you should have their tongues cut out. You're so rotten you're practically oozing pus!"

Regardless of whether the matter is true or false, she must treat it as false. Otherwise, Madam Lin's reputation will indeed affect Lin Mengyu.

Zhang Zhitong gave a sinister sneer, "Slander? Ask your best friend, she saw it with her own eyes!"

Lin Mengyu had slowly regained consciousness. Seeing Liu Yuechu there, she couldn't help but shed tears. "Yueniang, you should leave quickly. Don't let this matter implicate you!"

"Are you alright?" Liu Yuechu quickly stepped back to check on her. "Don't worry, I'm here, you'll be fine! You didn't see anything at all, he was just making things up!"

She squeezed Lin Mengyu's hand hard, signaling her to stick to this story to the end!

Lin Mengyu gasped, "Yes, slander, it was him who slandered me!"

"Could it be that the person who knelt down and begged me not to tell anyone is a slut, a lying bitch?" Zhang Zhitong's fierce eyes were already bloodshot, and he never expected Liu Yuechu to appear at this time.

"Liu Yuechu, you'd better not get yourself into trouble. You already have a bad reputation, and your husband just passed the imperial examination with top honors. Don't ruin your good life!"

"What right does a rat crossing the street have to threaten me? Not to mention you, I've remembered all of your lackeys as well." She looked at the people around Zhang Zhitong with icy eyes.

The servants were instantly terrified and tried to run away. "Master, don't delay, let's go quickly..."

If we don't leave soon, this woman might really take it from us.

Besides, things are already hopeless given the current situation, so what are we waiting for if we don't run away now?!

Zhang Zhitong knew it would be difficult to succeed. Liu Yuechu had already arrived, but who knew who else might be on their way?!

"You bitch, just wait until the Lin family, young and old, are all scorned and called whores!"

He was dissatisfied.

They were going all out!

Lin Mengyu panicked, "No, you can't leave, you can't tell anyone about Mother's matter..."

She suddenly pulled a hairpin from her hair and rushed towards Zhang Zhitong!

Before Zhang Zhitong could react, he was slashed, and bright red blood gushed out, which immediately enraged him!

"You bitch, how dare you hurt me! Do you believe I'll beat you to death?!"

He shook off Lin Mengyu's hand and grabbed her neck tightly.

Meanwhile, Lin Mengyu, holding the hairpin, kept stabbing Zhang Zhitong's arm repeatedly!

Liu Yuechu was terrified!

I never expected this to happen!

When she ran over, Zhang Zhitong had lost too much blood and had already let go of her hand; he was now unable to get up.

Lin Mengyu remained pinned to him, relentlessly stabbing him with the hairpin, crying, "No, you absolutely cannot tell anyone, you absolutely cannot..."

"Sister Yu, that's enough, stop!" Liu Yuechu didn't expect her to be so brave!

Moreover, Zhang Zhitong had already collapsed to the ground and was not getting up; he was clearly already dead!

Lin Mengyu was terrified and didn't know what to do, hugging Liu Yuechu and trembling uncontrollably. Suddenly, she realized that Zhang Zhitong seemed to be dead. "You have to leave quickly! I killed someone! I'm the murderer! You have to leave as if you were never here!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly abandon you? We'll go together!" Liu Yuechu couldn't lift Lin Mengyu; she was completely powerless, like a lump of dead mud.

Lin Mengyu sobbed hysterically, "I should have agreed to marry him first, and then killed him after my mother passed away!"

"Now everything is ruined, I've ruined everything!"

She doesn't know why her mind went blank at that moment, and she just rushed up and killed him!

Liu Yuechu was also at a loss for what to do, but Yuan Cuo was not around, so she had no one to give her any advice!

Suddenly, a dark figure approached. Liu Yuechu turned her head and looked on in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Lu Bingyang slowly walked into the alley. Without answering Liu Yuechu's question, he walked to Zhang Zhitong's side, checked his breathing, and then took out the dagger from his waist and slashed his neck again.

"What are you doing?" Liu Yuechu really didn't understand him.

Lin Mengyu also hid in Liu Yuechu's arms, looking completely bewildered.

Lu Bingyang looked at the two of them with a cold expression. "Doesn't this solve the problem? I killed this person; it has nothing to do with her."

"Just take her away, I'll handle the rest." Lu Bingyang's usual playful demeanor had vanished, replaced by a sudden seriousness that left everyone speechless.

"How are you going to handle this?" Lin Mengyu asked in surprise. "Aren't you trying to take the blame?"

"I don't like him, so what if I kill him?" Lu Bingyang said impatiently. "Hurry up and leave, I have my own way of getting away."

"Nonsense, how can I let you take the blame!" Lin Mengyu immediately refused.

"I like you, so it's okay if I'm being shameless and doing this for you, right?" Lu Bingyang kept urging, "You guys hurry up and leave. I'm just a spoiled brat. If I kill a useless member of the Zhang family who has lost his official position, I'll only be locked up for a while. Anyway, I won't lose my life."

"Besides, this matter was caused by my recklessness; I proposed marriage without properly investigating, which made you suffer. I can't owe a woman a favor, so consider this my repayment of a debt of affection!"
