Chapter 573: Escape....
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qin Zhenzhen was so infuriated that she nearly burst into laughter.
These individuals were blatantly here to seize assets, yet they managed to cloak their intentions in a veneer of self-righteousness.
Determined not to engage in further argument with them, Qin Zhenzhen assumed the air of an official’s wife.
“I have no interest in your clan rules, nor do I wish to learn about them.”
“I do know, however, that Sister Chen’s house and shop weren’t acquired solely by her parents-in-law and husband. She played a role in obtaining them.”
“Moreover, when Wang Nian coerced her into marriage with her assets, where were you to intervene and say no?”
“Your tacit agreement at that time implies that whether Sister Chen marries again or not, these assets rightfully belong to her!”
“All of you, tell me, is that not correct?”
The spectators, mainly urban dwellers with different perspectives from those in the countryside, couldn’t tolerate it any longer and echoed Qin Zhenzhen’s sentiments.
“Absolutely right! Mrs. Su speaks the truth!”
“What kind of absurd rule is this?”
The Wang clan member attempted to argue but found himself drowned out by the collective voices of the onlookers.
“Her family has suffered tragedy, and instead of offering support, you exploit her vulnerability and attempt to seize her assets?”
“This is utterly unacceptable!”
“You’ve tormented a vulnerable woman like this. Her family won’t let you off!” “I have to ask, don’t you experience nightmares when you sleep at night?”
“After committing such deeds, aren’t you afraid of raising a son with no integrity?”
“If misfortune befalls you, would you tolerate seeing your wife mistreated like this?”
“What sets you apart from the mountain bandits?”
“Mrs. Su, people of such wickedness deserve punishment, just like bandits!”
“Yes, arrest them!”
The onlookers grew more animated. In addition to ceaseless cursing, some even began hurling trash at Wang Yi and his companions.
Wang Yi’s expression turned exceedingly grim. Like his clansmen, no matter how he maneuvered, the trash found its mark. The stench was overwhelming.
“Mrs. Su, you’ve misunderstood us. We have no intention of seizing Ms. Chen’s property. We’re leaving now, and I assure you, we won’t trouble Ms. Chen again…
Having spoken, Wang Yi pushed through the crowd, making a quick escape.
His clansmen followed suit, eager to evade the risk of arrest and punishment.
Dirty and smelly, with trash clinging to them, the crowd automatically parted to let them through.
Before the onlookers could vent their fury, they launched another barrage of trash at the retreating figures.
“At least you can run fast! Otherwise, we’d make you regret it!”
“A bunch of blind villains. Don’t they realize that the heroes Governor Su invited are eradicating scoundrels like them!”
“You choose not to be virtuous, yet you fancy becoming a specter. Should you cross paths with those heroes who champion justice, do you think they’ll spare
your lives?!”
Upon hearing these words, Wang Yi and his companions were genuinely frightened, prompting them to accelerate their pace.
Indeed, how could they forget? Numerous martial world heroes had arrived in Shanglin Prefecture. These individuals were dedicated to combating injustice.
In the face of wrongdoing, these heroes were known for their action rather than words.
Should they encounter them, their lives might truly be in peril.
With this realization, they sprinted even faster.
Even if the three elderly men couldn’t match their speed, they paid little heed..
