Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 320 - 319: Curse

Ye Zhi and the others listened to this conversation and could guess the entire process.

It was clearly an immoral stepmother forcing a young maiden to marry a playboy for money~

The world is getting worse, Ye Zhi felt her blood boil, could this be her first step to becoming a heroine??

No matter what, she had to intervene in this matter.

After walking two hundred meters, they finally saw the perpetrators. Several onlookers were already gathered, but none stepped forward to help.

It was an hour past noon, and the sun was not as fierce as at midday.

The curious onlookers gathered and refused to leave.

A farce was happening under the branches and leaves of an ancient tree.

A plump and rough-skinned woman was holding a delicate-looking girl, who was crying incessantly.

A tall and strong middle-aged man stood nearby, with a big beard and many wrinkles creeping across his face, speaking coldly: "Luo’er, just listen to your stepmother. Landlord Liu has everything. Miss this village, and there won’t be another shop like this. Whoever you marry is the same."

This was the father the delicate girl just called out to, his name was Xu Gang.

With his support, the woman became even more unscrupulous: "Look, your father has spoken. Besides, your brother still needs to go to school. If you don’t marry, where will the Silver come from for your brother to attend the academy?"

The delicate girl’s expression was slightly stunned, her bright eyes full of sorrow.

Clearly, her brother was her soft spot.

The woman with the fleshy face pressed the point: "You don’t want him to miss out on school at such a young age. That day, he was so excited seeing Yuan Ge’er from next door go to the academy, shouting he wanted to go too."

The delicate girl moved her bloodless lips but did not speak, lowering her head.

Resigned to her fate!

She was slender, not stunningly beautiful, but delicate and pleasing to the eye overall, with honey-colored skin and double eyelids.

"According to Daqing’s laws, forcing a woman to marry for money seems illegal."

A passionate and resonant voice came through, loud and penetrating.

Many eyes turned to look for the source.

A lean man in a dark grey cloud-pattern embroidered robe, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a slightly dark face, sporting a mustache, appeared before everyone.

Xu Hou Niang wondered who it was, only to find it was a little thin guy with a rather funny appearance.

She spat and scolded with her purple thick lips: "My daughter is marrying someone by the order of her parents and a matchmaker’s word, happily marrying and enjoying a peaceful life. What law is being broken?? Moreover, even an honest official finds it hard to settle family matters. Who dares speak ill of me marrying off my daughter?"

Her reasoning was expressed with spittle flying, vividly portraying the image of a shrewish woman.

Ye Zhi sank Qi into the dantian and used Inner Strength to change her vocal cords, speaking in a voice no longer that of a delicate woman, but in a man’s voice:

"She does not want to marry, and you threaten her with her younger brother. Indeed, a shrewish woman."

The nearby audience reacted with a light patter of laughter, as if mocking the comical, weak man.

The fat woman before them was notorious for her unruliness, famous for her ferocity in arguments in the neighboring ten villages.

Rarely did neighbors willingly provoke her, fearing being entangled with this aggressive woman.

This was the first time they had seen someone willingly come and take insults.

Xu Hou Niang’s face was livid, with a look of resentment and hatred, wishing she could tear him apart alive: "Where did this brat come from? Your looks are strange, neither male nor female, and you have a foul mouth too, daring to call me a shrew. I curse you to die without descendants."
