Justice Served

Helen Parker stared at the disgraceful scene next door and at her daughter May Parker's flirtatious behavior. Suddenly, all the blood rushed to her head, and with a buzzing sound, she collapsed onto the ground.

"Ah!" May Parker realized what was happening, screamed, shoved Zhang Bin off her, and hurriedly pulled the quilt over herself.

The whole Evans family, the Village Chief's family, and the most famous matchmakers in Clearwater Village all witnessed the outrageous scene of three men and one woman.

"Tch, look at this tramp. Who knows how many men she's slept with, yet she dared to falsely accuse my husband of ruining her reputation!" Lily Evans' gaze was as cold as a knife, fixed on May Parker's face.

"Oh my, truly shameless! I've been a matchmaker for years, but I've never seen a woman this brazen!"

Lucky looked bewildered. He tugged Lily Evans's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Wife, what's going on?"

Lily Evans smiled and whispered back, "I thought Tofu Beauty was clever, but she tried framing you for sleeping with her. So I had the Village Chief trick her, saying May Parker claimed you were at their house that night. It was all Tofu Beauty's lie, and the Village Chief exposed her on the spot. Just now, I told Tofu Beauty that May Parker was lying too. Tofu Beauty got furious at May Parker for ruining her plans to marry up, so she went to settle the score."

After Lily finished, she turned to the Village Chief and said, "Village Chief, everything is clear now. You all saw it—they were after our family property and falsely accused my husband."

The Village Chief sighed, "Everyone saw it—Lucky is innocent." He glanced at the four women fighting in a heap, feeling utterly embarrassed.

"Come on, let's go eat!" Lily Evans said cheerfully. Now that May Parker had brought disaster upon herself, with those matchmakers spreading the word, not only would she never marry up—she might not even survive in the village.

This time, May Parker's scandal was so shocking that the Village Chief wanted to punish her by dunking her in the pig cage. But Helen Parker dragged May Parker from house to house, kneeling and begging for mercy until their foreheads bled. The villagers finally relented and spared May Parker's life.

Though she kept her life, May Parker's reputation was utterly destroyed. Old Lady Su, furious, expelled her from the family and drove her to a broken hut on the edge of the village, leaving her to fend for herself—worse than when Wang and Lily Evans were cast out.

Tofu Beauty and Mrs. Thompson also suffered disgrace and couldn't show their faces in the village for days.

Mrs. Thompson, not to be outdone, joined in. She grabbed May Parker's arm and slapped her face several times. "You shameless hussy! If you weren't so loose, would we have suffered such disgrace?"

Helen Parker tried to pull May Parker away, but Tofu Beauty and Mrs. Thompson joined forces to push her aside, cursing her for raising a daughter like that.

Lucky looked completely bewildered. He tugged on Lily Evans’s sleeve and whispered, "Wife, what on earth is going on now?"

Lily Evans smiled faintly and replied, "I thought Tofu Beauty was clever, but she made up a ridiculous story about you sleeping with her. So I had the Village Chief trick her, saying Su Meixiang claimed you were at the Su house that night. It was all Tofu Beauty’s fabrication, so the Village Chief exposed her on the spot. Just now, I told Tofu Beauty that Su Meixiang was lying too. Hearing that, Tofu Beauty got furious at Su Meixiang for ruining her plans to marry up, so she came to settle the score."

After Lily finished, she turned to the Village Chief and said, "Village Chief, now the truth is clear. You all saw it for yourselves—they were after our family’s property and falsely accused my husband."

The Village Chief sighed, "Everyone saw it—Lucky is innocent." He glanced at the four women fighting in a heap, feeling utterly humiliated.

"Come on, let’s go back and eat!" Lily Evans said cheerfully. Now that Su Meixiang had brought disaster upon herself, with those matchmakers spreading the word, not only would she never marry up—she might not even survive in the village.

This time, Su Meixiang’s scandal was so shocking that the Village Chief wanted to punish her by dunking her in the pig cage. But Mrs. Zhao dragged Su Meixiang from house to house, kneeling and begging for mercy until their foreheads bled. The villagers finally relented and spared Su Meixiang’s life.

Though she kept her life, Su Meixiang’s reputation was utterly destroyed. Old Lady Su, furious, expelled her from the family and drove her to a broken hut on the edge of the village, leaving her to fend for herself—worse than when Wang and Lily Evans were cast out.

Tofu Beauty and Mrs. Tang also suffered disgrace and couldn’t show their faces in the village for days.
