Chapter 478: Like to Slander? Then Let Her Keep Slandering!

"Zhang Chengyong, what are you talking about? How can your second aunt be speaking about your father?"

Li Ping wore a questioning expression.

If it were in the past, when Zhang Guilian spoke ill of her husband De Ben, she would have had no doubt.

But now, her husband has become the Lion Ridge Mountain God, and the Du Family father and son were seized by the Weixian County Magistrate because of her husband.

Even if they aren't beheaded, there will be no good fruit to eat.

These past days, Zhang Guilian has been at their home, not only flattering Liu Dongzhu, but also flattering her, and she knows exactly what motives are behind it.

She is counting on her to speak kindly to her husband, so that he will go and petition the Weixian County Magistrate to release the Du father and son.

Even if Zhang Guilian now harbors a bellyful of resentment toward her husband, until the Du father and son are released, she will not speak ill of her husband no matter what.

Zhang Chengyong, angry, said: "Mother, if you don't believe, ask elder brother; these past days he's probably been in the Mountain God Temple, and whatever her situation is, elder brother has likely seen it all!"

Li Ping instinctively turned her head toward Zhang Chengze, saw him nod, and, angry, said: "Are you just standing there watching her speak ill of your father?"

Before the Du father and son are rescued, she doesn't understand why Zhang Guilian would suddenly change her mind and speak ill of her husband, nor can she figure it out.

What exactly is Zhang Guilian thinking?

But she is very angry; Zhang Guilian's actions are not only ungrateful but also treat the Zhang family as easy to bully.

"Mother, you think I don't want to intervene!"

Zhang Chengze snorted, looking at Zhang Guilian from afar; even from a great distance he could roughly guess what she was saying, and his face and eyes were full of anger as he said in a harsh tone:

"It's just because my father spoils me. Earlier, she suddenly ran into the Mountain God Temple, loudly spreading rumors, speaking ill of my father, fabricating all sorts of slanders. I wanted to drive her away, but before I could act, my father stopped me, saying she's angry. No matter what, she's an elder, so I shouldn't confront her!"

"She claims to be angry—on what right? Clearly those two beasts from the Du Family committed a deed worse than pigs and dogs. We haven't even been angry, haven't even bothered her, yet she still has the nerve to be angry?"

Li Ping glared at Zhang Guilian in the distance, as if she wanted to devour her alive; deep down she held some resentment toward De Ben—if he hadn't been spoiled, how could Zhang Guilian dare to act so recklessly? She said:

"Liu Dongzhu, can you find a way to drive this scum—your second aunt away? If your uncle asks you, tell him I made you do it!"

"Eldest sister-in-law, there's no need for Dongzhu to devise a plan; for the beastly deed she committed, I would go up and tear her mouth to shreds!"

Zhang Guihua snarled, angry, and said:

She wouldn't indulge Zhang Guilian; in the past, before that beast from their family rose to prominence, Zhang Guilian often flaunted herself before her, having bullied her repeatedly.

She boasted that she had married a good man!

However, ever since that beast from their family rose to fame, Zhang Guilian not only ceased flaunting before her, but suddenly became enthusiastic.

She is not the type easily fooled, yet she hasn't altered her attitude toward Zhang Guilian because of that; it's caution—being sisters of the same mother, she knows her elder brother values kinship above all and wishes for family harmony, which is why she maintains a false friendliness toward Zhang Guilian without breaking the façade.

However, she watches and remembers Zhang Guilian's attitude toward her elder brother.

If her elder brother hadn't occasionally advised her, she would have already stood up for him, and wouldn't have allowed Zhang Guilian or even the Du Family to flaunt before her elder brother.

At this moment.

Her elder brother became the Lion Ridge Mountain God, a cause for celebration for their whole family, yet that scoundrel Zhang Guilian dared to slander her elder brother before outsiders.

What kind of person is her elder brother, could she not know? He has never done anything to betray their sisters, so how could she tolerate Zhang Guilian's audacity?

"Stop!"

Li Ping hurriedly stopped the enraged Zhang Guihua; if Zhang Guihua and Zhang Guilian actually fought, it would be a true disgrace. Of course, what she cares most about is that Zhang Guilian might take the chance to hurt Zhang Guihua, and the only one who would suffer then would be her family's man. She said:

"Liu Dongzhu, if you truly have no solution, I'll have Chengze and Chengyong go up and throw her out directly!"

"What exactly is happening with her? Isn't she seeking revenge? Is this how she takes revenge?"

Wang Ping'an stared peculiarly at Zhang Guilian from a distance; even though far away, he heard every word she uttered, clear as day.

As he listened to Zhang Guilian brazenly slandering his uncle, his gaze was wordless; he hadn't forgotten the vicious remark she whispered at the doorway of the room not long ago.

At that time, he was deeply curious about what means Zhang Guilian actually had!

Now, seeing Zhang Guilian brazenly slandering his uncle in the Mountain God Temple, he couldn't help but suspect she's lost her mind; otherwise, how could she commit such a foolish act?

This novel you...

Lion Ridge is neither large nor small; he recalled that his cousin once bragged that his uncle was a renowned hunter throughout the area. Back then his uncle was ranked second, and no one dared to claim first. In such circumstances, not only Zhang Family Village, but any villagers near Lion Ridge would certainly know his uncle.

Especially after his uncle became the Lion Ridge Mountain God, the villagers near Lion Ridge would be even more inclined to probe for news about his uncle and would surely come to trust what they learned about him.

Though Zhang Guilian is his uncle's sister, whether what she says is true or false, she believes, and the outsiders in the Mountain God Temple are all fully aware.

If it weren't for the caution that Zhang Guilian is his uncle's sister, merely slandering the Lion Ridge Mountain God would make these outsiders the first to refuse to let her off.

Zhang Guilian slandering his uncle here, aside from satisfying a tongue itch, yields almost no benefit; instead it provokes everyone's disgust. Even if they later seek his uncle's help to resolve the Du father and son, even if his uncle were willing, their family—and even his uncle's family—would be the first to...

"Aunt, I think we should let the second aunt continue slandering the uncle here!"

Liu Dongzhu seemed to have thought of something, her face full of amusement, and she said with a smiling expression.

Upon hearing this, not only Li Ping but also the Zhang brothers, Zhu Lancui, and her father and mother all wore puzzled expressions, and Zhang Guihua asked in confusion:

"Liu Dongzhu, what kind of method is this, allowing her to continue slandering here? Doesn't that ruin her uncle's reputation, and how will outsiders respect your uncle thereafter?"

Wang Ping'an also asked in confusion: "Isn't my mother a clever star? What kind of method is this?"
