We were all shocked. The old man was fine. His voice was loud and clear, and he didn't seem injured at all. Damn, it looks like it's not going to be a good day to travel. However, looking at this farce in front of me, I laughed again. There is still a chance. We just need to be careful to guard against sneak attacks, and hopefully we will win in the end!
As soon as the mayor came out, the messy courtyard suddenly became silent.
I stole a glance at the bride and groom. The groom had a guilty look on his face as he was looking at the bride, but the bride had a beaded curtain on her face so I couldn't see her expression clearly.
The old mayor stared at Xiaolian and asked, "Child, stand up and speak. Tell me what's going on. As long as what you say makes sense, I will handle it impartially and will never tolerate criminals!" He said the last sentence in a stern voice and turned to look at the groom.
Xiaoqing was so scared that he lowered his head, his face full of fear.
Xiaolian didn't get up either, she was crying, she told the story of how they met and fell in love, how she cheated on him after getting drunk, and then she got pregnant. Xiaoqing was very nice to her and promised to hold the wedding soon, but Xiaoqing suddenly wanted to get married today, but the bride was not her.
Pregnancy before marriage is a shame in the entire Miao tribe, not to mention that in this clan with strict rules, it is definitely punishable. If she doesn't marry Xiaoqing, death is one thing, but after death, her family will not be able to hold their heads up in the town.
After hearing this, the old man sighed surprisingly, a look of pity appeared on his face, and he said, "Child, you have violated the clan rules and will be executed by Shen Jiang!"
"I'm not afraid of death, I just want justice. I can't let anyone accuse the baby in my belly of being a bastard! Woo woo..."
The mayor's face darkened, and he turned to look at Xiaoqing and asked, "Is the child yours?"
"Yes..." Xiao Qing collapsed immediately under the majesty of the old man, but I clearly saw the bride pinch him hard, and Xiao Qing immediately swallowed his saliva and said, "No, it's not mine."
The bride chimed in, "There are so many pregnant women in this town. Wouldn't it be unreasonable if they all looked for my husband?"
When the old man heard her speak, his face became extremely cold and his eyes were very sharp. He shouted in a cold voice: "It's not your turn to speak!"
Xiao Qing seemed to be a little bolder, and continued: "It's true that we were together for a while, but I never touched her, how could she get pregnant?"
The old man looked around with an embarrassed expression. Xiaoqing insisted that it was not him. Since there was no certification for this kind of thing, it could not be unilaterally determined that he did it.
I turned around and whispered to Xiao Qi to hold the sheep tightly and not to let it run away. Then I patted Shen Bing's shoulder and pointed at myself to tell her to watch me.
Unexpectedly, she was stunned and asked me: "Are you sick? I don't have time to flirt with you right now."
I slapped my forehead, I expressed the wrong feelings. I walked out of the crowd with my chest held high and said loudly to the old man: "In fact, there are two ways to solve whether the child is the groom's."
When the old man saw that it was me, his face instantly became extremely gloomy, and his eyes flashed with vigilance.
"Why haven't you left yet? This is our clan's internal affair, and we don't need outsiders to interfere!"
Xiaolian cried and begged, "Mayor, let this man come up with a solution!"
The old man's eyes turned cold and he said, "Okay, tell me, what can we do?"
Shen Bing walked behind me and muttered softly, "You really have a way? This is what, do you have any experience?"
