"Ms. Jiang, what I said just now was a bit harsh. I, Qi Damei, am not an ungrateful person. If you hadn't stood up to speak for me yesterday, I'm afraid I would have been driven back to my parents' home yesterday."

"But, I was forced to...that's all, I'm going back first." Qi Damei said and was about to leave.

Jiang Tuge knew that she was referring to yesterday's betrothal gift. After all, women in ancient times were just pitiful people.

Looking at the thin back, Jiang Tuge shouted, "Qi Damei, wait a moment!"

Hearing this, Qi Damei turned to look at Jiang Tuge, "Ms. Jiang, do you have anything else to say?"

"Don't worry!" Jiang Tuge comforted her, "Qi Damei, are you willing to take the blame for someone else? You did such a thing, but the person in the end didn't take any responsibility. Can you bear this tone?"

"Although I have testified for you, you also know that people in this village will not say anything on their faces, but they may be scolded behind their backs."

Upon hearing this, the originally listless Qi Damei's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ms. Jiang, you are right. I can't bear this tone. If it weren't for this despicable person, how could I have ended up in this situation."

"Let's go, let's find this person now. I will skin her and make her completely embarrassed." After that, Qi Damei pulled Jiang Tuge and started to walk down the mountain.

Seeing how anxious Qi Damei was, Jiang Tuge hurriedly stopped her and said, "This matter cannot be rushed."

"Why?" Qi Damei was confused. If she wanted to clear her grievances, she had to find this person. "Ms. Jiang, we can't wait too long on this matter."

"What if we're a little late and she runs away? I really won't be able to tell by then."

Jiang Tuge knew what Qi Damei was thinking and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm sure this person can't escape. Do you think she can feel okay if she does such a thing?"

"Really?" Qi Damei asked dubiously.

Jiang Tuge nodded, "Just trust me for once. Anyway, the situation can't be worse than now. What do you think?"

Qi Damei thought for a while and decided to believe Jiang Tuge, "Ms. Jiang, no matter what the outcome is, I, Qi Damei, will thank you."

"You're welcome!" Jiang Tuge smiled, "Ms. Qi, no matter what you want to do in the future, you must tell me in advance to avoid alerting the enemy."

"Okay!" Qi Damei nodded and prepared to go down the mountain after making an agreement with Jiang Tuge.

Jiang Tuge glanced at the road down the mountain, then pointed to the south road and said, "Ms. Qi, go down from here."

"Why?" Qi Damei was puzzled. It was clear that the path she was taking now was the shortest way home.

"There are more people here, and you have offended a lot of people now. It's better to be cautious in everything!" Jiang Tuge immediately made up a reason.

"By the way, you must pretend to be very panicked when you go down the mountain later. If someone asks you, just vaguely say that you saw Zhang Lou."

Qi Damei nodded, "Ms. Jiang, wouldn't it be better if I just tell everyone that I saw him?"

…………

Jiang Tuge was a little helpless. It was no wonder that she could become a family with Zhao Ergou. These two people were really naive.

"No, if you take the initiative to tell everyone, it seems like a lie. Moreover, when others ask you, you must not say too much."

"Okay, I'll take note of it!" Qi Damei nodded, remembering everything Jiang Tuge told her.

She walked all the way down the south side, looking back from time to time on the way, her face full of panic. Lin Yuwei was planning to go up the mountain from the south path at this time. In the past few days, she kept thinking about what Zhang Lou had said to her before.

Although that incident was regarded as ruining the woman's innocence, Zhang Lou told her that there was a way to make her famous on her wedding night.

After thinking about it again and again, she no longer resisted Zhang Lou's request. If he could really exchange his body for his marriage to Si Mubai and Jiang Tuge's departure, it would be worth it.

She looked up and happened to see Qi Damei in a panic. Lin Yuwei couldn't help but tighten her eyes and hurriedly greeted him.

If Jiang Tuge hadn't spoken for her yesterday, how could she have worried about others finding out that she was the one who said it?

"Beautiful sister-in-law!" Lin Yuwei held up her skirt and shouted affectionately.

Hearing the sound, Qi Damei paused. Looking back, it was Lin Yuwei.

"Sister-in-law Damei, where are you going? Why do you look so panicked?" Lin Yuwei pretended to be worried about her.

Seeing someone talking to her, Qi Damei hurriedly said, "I, I just came from..."

When the words came to her lips, Qi Damei suddenly looked at Lin Yuwei a little more carefully. She met many people along the way, but Lin Yuwei was the only one who took the initiative to talk to her.

Not to mention that Lin Yuwei is still discussing marriage with people in Changxing Village. Just based on what happened yesterday, she should ignore her like everyone else.

She was grateful to Jiang Tuge. On the one hand, she helped Old Man Zhao and Zhao Ergou, and on the other hand, she was indeed smart and could distinguish right from wrong.

But why is Lin Yuwei? Could it be that she, like Jiang Tuge, wanted to help him?

Soon, Qi Damei rejected her idea. In the entire Yunzhuang, Jiang Tuge was the only one who had ever seen someone meet someone from Changxing Village privately, and Lin Yuwei had no reason to help him.

Qi Damei stood there, her face changing again and again. But her change made Lin Yuwei murmur in her heart.

"Damei sister-in-law?" Lin Yuwei cleared her throat and shouted softly.

Qi Damei responded, and then looked at Lin Yuwei with a colder look in her eyes. If her guess was correct, yesterday's incident must have something to do with this dead girl.

Since Lin Yuwei framed her, don't blame her for being unjust.

"Yuwei, I...I just saw something." As she said that, Qi Damei looked around and said, "You must not tell others about this, do you understand?"

Lin Yuwei nodded, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I won't say anything."

Hearing this, Qi Damei said, "I just saw Zhang Lou, the one in Changxing Village."

"Zhang Lou?" Lin Yuwei exclaimed, then felt that her reaction was too great and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Seeing that Lin Yuwei had taken the bait, Qi Damei continued, "No, my reaction was exactly the same as yours just now."

"You said that Zhang Lou is really brave. He dares to come to our Yunzhuang at this time. Tell me, who is he looking for?"

Lin Yuwei opened her mouth and didn't know what to say for a while. She knew very well that Zhang Lou was here to find her.

"Damei sister-in-law, this...could you have seen it wrong? Maybe it was someone else?"

Hearing this, Qi Damei waved her hands, "Absolutely not. Zhang Lou and I grew up in the same village. How could I not know him?"
