Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’
Chapter 46

"Stop!" Suddenly, an anxious and furious voice rang out. The villagers blocking the way automatically made room for two men in their fifties or sixties, accompanied by a dozen young men who walked in with great momentum.

 

"Father, second uncle, you must help me! I don't know what kind of drugs Ling Jingxuan, that wretched scoundrel, gave to second brother's family, making them not even recognize their own mother and grandmother. And that bastard even hit us. Look, my third sister-in-law's face was beaten by that wretch. There is so much resentment and enmity. We must send him to the sinkhole this time. It's best to sink both of those bastards too. Otherwise, who knows when he'll bite people like a mad dog again?"

 

Seeing Ling Lao Ye and Ling Er Ye, as well as his elder and third brothers and several grandsons and nephews, the old lady decisively gave up the fight. She turned around and cried out for help, accusing Ling Jingxuan of being the reason why their obedient second brother and his wife and son would act against her. In her eyes, as long as they eliminated Ling Jingxuan, they could easily control their second son's family.

 

"Dad, second uncle, you must help Mother! Jingxuan, he... has become an unbearable monster."

 

This group's arrival undoubtedly gave them courage. The previously quieted Ling Chenghua quickly burst into tears again. Ling Xiaoying, supporting her swollen-faced mother, also joined the group, not saying anything but constantly wiping her tears, leaving these big men with endless imaginations.

 

"Mother? Damn it, Ling Jingxuan, I will fight you!" Seeing his wife beaten like this, the robust and tall Ling Chenghu roared and swung his fist in anger towards Ling Jingxuan, who was not far away.

 

"Be careful..."

 

"Bang!"

 

Yan Shengrui, who was always paying attention to Ling Jingxuan, had just issued a warning. Just as Ling Jingxuan was warned, before anyone could understand what was happening, Ling Chenghu's strong body collapsed at Ling Jingxuan's feet like a collapsed mountain. His body kept twitching and everyone stared at the scene in shock and fear. They didn't understand what had happened.

 

The smile hanging on the corner of Ling Jingxuan’s mouth was exaggerated with naked coldness and killing intent.

 

"You you you... you monster, what did you do to my father?"

 

Ling Xiaoying, who was the first to react, rushed up with her two brothers. Mr. Ling and others also stepped forward worriedly. Almost everyone surrounded Ling Chenghu who fell on the ground. The only one standing beside Ling Jingxuan was his parents, brothers, and Yan Shengrui, who was slowly approaching with the help of the two children.

 

"You call me a monster, what else can a monster do?" Ling Jingxuan’s laughter spread infinitely like a deadly toxin. His narrow and charming phoenix eyes were full of evil. At this moment, he was like a real devil, dazzling and weird. The little bit of arrogance disappeared in an instant.

 

It was terrible, the current Ling Jingxuan was terrible.

 

"Presumptuous! Don't talk nonsense, what did you do to the third child?"

 

As expected of being the head of the Ling family, the old man snarled and looked at Ling Jingxuan sternly. Although he was slightly surprised that Ling Jingxuan at this time was different from the gentle and cowardly Ling Jingxuan in his memory, he didn't make much fuss. Even more, he doesn't want to get too involved with him so as not to ruin his Ling family. If it weren't for people saying that the old woman and the fourth child were making endless troubles here, even if he was killed in this life, he wouldn't step into it.

 

"Hehe... Don't talk about it. Is it sorcery? What kind of answer does Ling Laoxiu want to hear?"

 

Others are afraid of the old man, but Ling Jingxuan was not.

 

The old man saw him pulling a strand of long hair coolly and twisting it between his fingers, with a charming and bright smile on his handsome face. Didn’t they say he was a monster? Let’s show them the monster. Rather than being respected, it was better to be feared from the bottom of their heart!

 

"Bewitching words to confuse people is an insult to gentleness!"

 

The old man flicked his sleeves angrily. His old face was full of disgust.

 

In contrast, Ling Jingxuan smiled even brighter, "Bewitching words to confuse the public. I don't know who kept calling me a monster. Why? I did admit it myself but you don't believe me? Aiya, then I was not expelled by you in vain? Or you, grandparents, didn’t like me in the first place, so you deliberately found an excuse to charge me as a monster. You just wanted to put me in the wrong place. Death? Tsk tsk? Tigers didn’t even eat their cubs. You guys are really worse than animals. Take a look, folks. This is a scholar. He is a highly respected old scholar in our Lingjia Village. Sending your children to his private school might not be a good idea. Be careful, don't let him teach an unfilial monster."

 

Ling Jingxuan deliberately sidestepped the fact that he was unmarried and pregnant, blurred the focus, and imposed everything on the old man. He did not forget to raise his voice to reach the surrounding villagers outside. It's better when everyone leaves. Doesn't Mr. Ling care about reputation the most? Then Ling Jingxuan will destroy him with his own hands.

 

"You, you, you….” Mr. Ling blow his beard and stare in anger, his chest heaved violently, and he looked like he might raise his braids at any time.

 

"Enough, Ling Jingxuan. You know better than anyone what happened back then. As a man, you can conceive and have children. If it's not an evildoer, what is it? Big Brother kicked you out of the house because you were an evildoer and hooked up with wild men everywhere. So everything was caused by yourself. Don't talk nonsense here, otherwise don't blame me for inviting you to the ancestral hall."

 

Seeing that even Mr. Ling, the head of the family, was shocked, Lizheng Ling Qicai had no choice but to stand up. He is an official, but his courage is different. In a few words, Ling Jingxuan's intentional slander was cleared up.

 

"Who said that he hooked up with wild men everywhere? His man, from beginning to end, was only me."

 

In front of Ling Jingxuan, Yan Shengrui braced his body and stood forward. His domineering aura instantly crushed everyone present. Even Li Zheng was temporarily shocked, let alone the others.

 

Ling Jingxuan held his forehead speechlessly. Uncle Yan, what are you making a fuss about? You don't think it's messy enough, do you?

 

Standing behind them, Ling Chenglong and his wife had weird expressions on their faces. Although they were very happy that Yan Shengrui stood up to defend their son if it wasn't for him, why would Jingxuan come to this point?

 

On the contrary, Ling Jingpeng and the two Baozi actually showed their childlike nature at this weird moment. All kinds of admiring looked were focused on the domineering and powerful physique.

 

"So what? A man who is pregnant is already evil. He has no matchmaker but the womb is secretly knotted. Fortunately, he is still a child. He is simply a shame for the scholars in the world."

 

As expected of Li Zheng, he was stunned for a moment and quickly retorted calmly. Except for himself, no one knew how shocked he was. The man looked like a ruthless character at first glance. His demeanor was even more graceful and domineering. Especially with those eyes, even he dared not meet him. Could it be that he is really the adulterer they couldn't find no matter how hard they searched?

 

Thinking of this, Ling Qiyun couldn't help but look suspiciously at the little bun hiding behind Ling Jingxuan. With only one glance, he was sure of their father-son relationship. They looked so much alike that they were printed from the same mold.

 

"Young master, don't be arrogant. Ling Jingxuan was pregnant by someone when he was less than fifteen years old. If you get involved with him, you won't be able to raise your head in the village in the future."

 

No one knew whether she was deceived by the lard, but Ling Chenghua ignored the presence of her parents and elders at home. She seemed to have forgotten the previous humiliation. She walked up with twists and turns and said delicately. It can be seen that she was springing up.

 

"Shut up, come back here." Ling Lao's face darkened. He dragged his beloved daughter back. Ling Qicai and other men from the Ling family couldn't lose face. They just reprimanded Ling Jingxuan for doing those shameful things. What happened, in a blink of an eye, my unmarried girl openly hooked up with men in public, isn't this a slap in the face for them?

 

"Father, did I say something wrong? That bitch Ling Jingxuan has already harmed our Ling family, how can we let him harm other people?" Ling Chenghua was so dazed but she was still self-righteously retorting.

 

Ling Jingxuan, who had been watching for a long time, turned to look at Yan Shengrui with a weird expression. Indeed, he was very handsome, with a good temperament, not to mention his figure, so it was no wonder that he could be fascinated.

 

Sensing the sizing up gaze beside him, Yan Shengrui turned his head. But seeing the playful face, Yan Shengrui’s face couldn't help turning cold. His big hand grabbed Ling Jingxuan’s hand without thinking. His bright peach eyes swept away and instantly focused in Ling Chenghua's face.

 

"A big girl who hasn't left home, is it fine to openly seduce me? Is she a slut? I can't help but wonder how your parents taught you. Since ancient times, the female lead, when was the unmarried girl allowed to do such?”

 

He continued, “you keep saying that my family’s Jingxuan corrupted the Ling family. From my point of view, you have no family face to speak of. How can you talk about corruption? Let me just talk about the facts I saw with my own eyes today. Over there, that pig-faced woman and the ugly monsters around her came to our house to make a fuss. Jingxuan understands righteousness and knows that he is the one who was expelled from the house by the Ling family. He dared not ruin their reputation. They are the ones who came here. Jingxuan and Jingpeng went to dig for wild vegetables in the mountains. They took the opportunity to bring a more powerful old lady to call the door. They searched everywhere in this house like bandits and robbers, even at noon. Do you want to take away the fried meat from me, tsk tsk? Such a family, where does it come from?”

 

But he was not done. “The so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. The old lady is disrespectful and the young one is not better. Here, I really appreciate you from the bottom of my heart for expelling my Jingxuan and my children from the family. Are you worthy of being called the home of scholars? Don’t make me laugh to death.”

 

Unexpectedly, he looked domineering and mighty. Prince Sheng is actually a smooth-talker. Listen to this long line of crackling, his every word pokes people's hearts. Black is also white. Isn’t it really crazy?

 

Everyone in the Ling family was blowing their beards and staring with anger. Ling Jingxuan also forgot to take back his hand. He put aside the relationship between them and stood aside secretly laughing. This man is actually quite cute.

 

"That's enough. You, an adulterer, are not qualified to gossip about my Ling family. Ling Jingxuan, let me ask you, did you beat the third daughter-in-law? What's the matter with the third son? If you don't make it clear today, don't blame me for asking the head of the Ling family to open the ancestral hall."

 

Relying on being Li Zheng, Ling Qicai straightened his chest but subconsciously avoided Yan Shengrui. His stern gaze fell on Ling Jingxuan in an instant instead.
