Although Aunt Cui was imperious, she always pretended to be elegant rather than rude in front of Xie Mengxuan. However, regardless of her face, she was crying her heart out on the ground.

Furrowing her eyebrows, Xie Mengxuan wanted to walk away but still felt unease. She took a deep breath for several times. “Aunt Cui, let’s have a sincere talk. What’s wrong?”

Aunt Cui had a look at her with sobs, and let out several loud cries. “Young lady, I want to tell you the truth while you have no desire to listen to me. I…I could not help crying for the future tough life. Go away. I’ve offended that man, and it seems to be impossible for me to seek connections with you. Why not let me die?”

Xie Mengxuan yielded to neither persuasion nor coercion. However, she failed to come up with any solution to this means of trick. It was unfeasible to sob her heart out on the ground like Aunt Cui. She would appear to be an idiot.

Staring at Aunt Cui, she let out a long sigh in the heart while she didn’t give in. She was not so silly as to be deceived by her appearance.

Aunt Cui turned her eyes. “As well it’s not our idea to force you to accept the trial of the River God. What’s more, your horoscope was said to be unfortunate, which was also the idea of the one behind the scene.”

All of a sudden, her words made Xie Mengxuan pull a long face. She squatted and lowered her voice. “What did you say?”

Aunt Cui wiped the tears on her face and took a deep breath. “Young lady, we’re staying outside, where it isn’t convenient for an important conversation.”

Xie Mengxuan glanced around. “There’s no one else in the village. Just tell me. Nobody could hear it.”

Aunt Cui was on the alert. “There are many people in the village. Who could claim to be definitely sure? Wall has ears. You must be better aware of this point than me.”

However, Xie Mengxuan glanced at the house behind her. “Your house must be safe?”

Aunt Cui let out a sigh and stood up. “The evidence has been hidden inside the room. It’s too noticeable to directly take it out. There might be some people who already came back instead of ascending the mountain.”

She had made a good sense. Worried about the several events, Xie Mengxuan desired to know the one behind the scene, with whom she could square the whole accounts.

“I’ll stay here instead of entering in. Why don’t you go to fetch the evidence? I’m going to enter in when seeing the evidence.”

Aunt Cui nodded and then returned to the room. She searched under the pillow in a careful way and took something out from her sleeve in secret. “Come to have a look, young lady.” She said in a hushed voice.

Xie Mengxuan squinted her eyes. Nevertheless, because of the bad weather and dim light, it took her some efforts. Shortly afterwards an incredulous expression flashed across her face. She could not help striding forward. The instant she entered in, she got a hit on her head so that she fell onto the ground with no strength.

Behind the door, Cui Zhuang was still holding up his hand. When he stared at Xie Mengxuan, a terrible look showed in his eyes.

“Mom, are we really going to do such a thing?” A little hesitant, Cui Zhuang frowned and put down his hand.

Aunt Cui went forward to lift Xie Mengxuan onto the bed with all her might. “She has reminded that we’re just in cooperation with that gentleman. When it’s over, he won’t cooperate with us. He only gives me a hand to leave here, but there is a lot of trouble outside. Considering this girl’s identity, if we could attach ourselves to her, we will live a wealthy life.”

Aunt Cui thought that if Xie Mengxuan knew it was she who had given the reminding, she must have been disturbed by a feeling of unease.

As long as she felt unease, Aunt Cui was at ease.

A little bit hesitant, Cui Zhuang was in fear that ruthless man rather than Xie Mengxuan. “But she…She seems to be attached great importance to by that man.”

Aunt Cui was not afraid at all. In her view, girls were inclined to put their reputation at the first place. It seemed that everything was under her control. “Take it easy. If it is done, how could she announce it to the public? She needs to take her face into consideration. At that time it will be her business to deal with that man. All we have to do is to reap where we haven’t sown.”

“Hurry up. Seize the time when others are in the mountain.” After thinking for a while, Cui Zhuang was no longer worried. He nodded. “Okay. She’s a pretty girl. After all, I have no loss.”

Aunt Cui stood up with a bright smile. She went out and closed the door. “I’ll watch out for you. Whether you succeed or not, make her think that she has lost the virginity to you.”

Outside the house, Aunt Cui was eating melon seeds. On such a gloomy day, she was still in a good mood.

However, she failed to notice what occurred inside the house. The moment Cui Zhuang was going to take action, Xie Mengxuan gave him a hard hit so that he fainted.

Cui Zhuang did hit her but on the wrong place so that Xie Mengxuan didn’t lost consciousness. He pretended to be taken in by their trick to figure out their purpose. Beyond her expectation, they turned out to be so disgusting.

Xie Mengxuan carefully moved to the ground. Although the friction sound among her clothes was extremely subtle, she was still prudent.

She remembered where Aunt Cui had put away the evidence. She bent and reached out to search carefully. Eventually she found a sachet inside the pillow.

The sachet looked simple. Only the embroidery made it a bit colorful. Her eyes darkened. She put away the sachet and ran away from the window.

As for the plot of Aunt Cui, just let it go away with the water.

Xie Mengxuan was running in a hurry. She was desperate to ascend the mountain as soon as possible to have a look at Geng Zhishan.

It was raining heavily and her umbrella had been left where Aunt Cui stayed. She was soaked in the rain.

She arrived at the house of Geng Zhishan. People had already gone. Only the scattered footprints washed away by the rain remained here. She looked around and then ran to the mountain.

All present seemed to believe in the tradition of offering sacrifice to the Mountain God. Everyone was kneeling piously. On a platform of the cliff top, the coffin in the center stood out.

Xie Mengxuan dimmed her eyes and bent over to hide herself in the forest. She observed them for a moment and felt anxious like a cat on a hot brick. Gu Yusheng held her back and said in a hushed voice. “They keep heavy guard on him, and we fail to find a chance.”

Xie Mengxuan frowned and her low voice was full of anxiety. “We should make a chaos to get Geng Zhishan out of the coffin. If we don’t take action, he’ll be stifled to death.”

Gu Yusheng held her tightly. “Take it easy. There’s a hole on the coffin so that he can breathe.”

Xie Mengxuan was relieved but still anxious. “As time flies, the matter allows no delay.”

“Hang on. Don’t worry.” Gu Yusheng seemed to be concerned about something else.

At this time, the folks opened their arms and looked up at the sky. All present yelled: “Congratulations to the Mountain God.”

Xie Mengxuan turned her head, only to see Zhao Long and Zhao Hu push the coffin down the cliff top.

Xie Mengxuan was in a daze and then yelled. “No!”
