However, Yueru did not get up, so all Xiao Lingyu could see was her fair neck and blushing face.
Xiao Lingyu did not feel stunned, nor did he leave the room in a hurry. Instead, he realized that something was amiss.
Yueru rarely invited him over at this time. Most of the time, the door to the house was closed, and Mo 'er would be guarding outside.
Today was different, so there was a high chance that something was amiss.
Xiao Lingyu was calm, but Yueru gasped when she saw Xiao Lingyu.
Yue Ru's reaction was rather quick. She did not make a loud sound and soon stopped.
Even so, her voice was heard outside the door. At this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
"How dare you, pervert! How dare you peek at Yueru's medicine master!"
A few people rushed into the house, and one of them shouted loudly.
Xiao Lingyu had already closed the door to the side room. He turned around and frowned at the people in the house. He smiled and said, "You came just in time."
"If we didn't come in time, I'm afraid you would have succeeded!" someone shouted.
The person who shouted was Xi Wei. Recently, Xi Wei had been appointed by the village chief and deputy village chief to form a patrol team to patrol the village for the safety of the village.
"Haha, do you know what happened?" Xiao Lingyu asked with a smile.
"Of course. You came to Yueru's room in the middle of the night and startled Yueru's medicine master. You must have bad intentions!" Xi Wei said righteously.
"So you're just guessing? Based on your guesses, you called me a pervert the moment you came in? "Xiao Lingyu asked again with a smile.
"Pervert, you still want to quibble? When Yueru's medicine master comes out, we'll know when we ask him," Xi Wei said coldly.
Xiao Lingyu was too lazy to argue with Xi Wei. He calmly sat on a chair in the living room and waited quietly.
This side was originally very quiet, but after Xi Weida shouted a few times, it naturally attracted a lot of villagers to come over and watch. After all, this was a very special time in the Linggu Valley, and many villagers were very sensitive. If there was even the slightest movement, they would come out to check.
"What happened inside?"
"I'm not sure. I heard that a perverted thief broke into the Yueru pharmacist's room."
"Pervert? No way, how could there be a pervert in our village? Could it be a mistake? "
"Who knows? The patrol team is still investigating inside. I think the village chief and deputy village chief will come in a while."
The villagers who were blocked outside by the patrol team were whispering in front of Yueru's house.
In the room, Yueru was already neatly dressed as she walked out of the side room.
"Medicine Master Yueru, did you scream because he broke into your room just now?" Xi Wei asked Yueru loudly. Everyone outside the house could hear clearly.
"Yes." Yueru, who never lied, nodded with a complicated expression.
"Everyone heard it, right? Medicine Master Yueru has already identified him! "Xi Wei shouted loudly, looking a little proud.
At this moment, the village chief and deputy village chief also heard the news and came over. The old village chief asked Xiao Lingyu, "Why did you come here in the middle of the night?"
The old village chief naturally didn't believe that Xiao Lingyu was a pervert, but he still had to clarify the matter.
"Mo 'er said that Medicine Master Yueru invited me here," Xiao Lingyu replied.
"Medicine Master Yueru, is this true?" the old village chief asked Yueru.
"Uh …"
Yueru hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said in a low voice, "Yes."
"Since Medicine Master Yueru invited Xiao Lingyu here, then it must be a misunderstanding," the old village chief said.
"Haha, I think Medicine Master Yueru is purposely making excuses for him."
The deputy village chief smiled and interrupted, "Let's find Mo 'er and ask her."
The old village chief glanced at the deputy village chief and said loudly, "Where is Mo 'er?"
Not long after, Mo 'er was invited in. However, she looked very surprised and said, "No, Medicine Master Yue Ru didn't ask me to invite Xiao Lingyu. Could it be that I've forgotten what she told me to do before?"
Mo 'er's answer made Xiao Lingyu laugh coldly, and also made Yueru lower his head in shame.
"What do you have to say?" the deputy village chief asked Xiao Lingyu.
"I can't do anything if she doesn't admit it, but the truth is that she said that Medicine Master Yueru invited me here," Xiao Lingyu said calmly.
At this moment, he was a hundred percent sure that someone had colluded with Mo 'er to frame him.
It was obvious that the deputy village chief was the one who had schemed against Xiao Lingyu.
"Mo 'er, this is no small matter. You have to tell the truth," the old village chief said to Mo' er sternly.
Mo 'er's eyes flashed a few times. After glancing at the deputy village chief, she nodded solemnly and said, "Mo' er knows, but I'm not lying. You can ask Medicine Master Yueru. She really didn't ask me to invite Xiao Lingyu."
Yueru lowered her head, not daring to look at everyone. She was obviously guilty.
"Perhaps Medicine Master Yueru didn't ask you to invite me, but perhaps someone else did," Kang Ping stood out and said.
"Big Brother Kang, what do you mean by this?" Mo 'er looked puzzled.
"You know what I mean. Don't play dumb here!" Kang Ping said bluntly.
"I really don't know," Mo 'er said with her head tilted.
"Mo 'er, let me ask you. What were you doing just now? Who were you with?" the old village chief asked Mo' er.
"I was in my own house. Oh right, Sister Li 'er was with me the whole time. She can testify for me. I was in my own house the whole time," Mo' er said confidently.
Li 'er was also invited over, and she did testify for Mo' er.
"If Mo 'er isn't lying, then Xiao Lingyu is lying. Mo' er has Li 'er to testify for her. Xiao Lingyu, do you have a witness?" the deputy village chief asked Xiao Lingyu.
"Although I don't have evidence, how can you be sure that Mo 'er and Li' er didn't collude?" Xiao Lingyu retorted.
"Collude? Why would they collude to harm you? "the deputy village chief asked with a strange smile.
"I'm afraid the deputy village chief knows better than I do?" Xiao Lingyu said without backing down.
"Village chief, how do you think we should deal with this matter? The villagers outside are all watching and waiting. "The deputy village chief didn't argue with Xiao Lingyu. Instead, he threw the question to the old village chief.
"There are still many suspicious points in this matter …"
"Suspicious points? What suspicious points? His sophistry can't be used as suspicious points. We have to pay attention to real evidence before doing anything. "
Before the old village chief could finish speaking, the deputy village chief had already interrupted. It was the first time in many years that he was so anxious.
The old village chief obviously wanted to cover up this matter and didn't want to deal with it now. Moreover, he did suspect that there was something wrong with this matter, so he needed some time to investigate carefully. However, the deputy village chief didn't want to do that.
"Punish the pervert!"
"Burn him!"
"Chase him out!"
The villagers outside began to shout loudly, attracting the attention of many villagers who didn't understand the situation.
Most of the villagers outside Yueru's house didn't know who the so-called pervert was. In fact, many of the villagers had just run over and didn't know what was going on, so they began to shout together.
If everyone knew that the pervert was Xiao Lingyu, they probably wouldn't have shouted so loudly and in unison.
But no matter what, the commotion outside had already been heard. In front of so many villagers, the old village chief did indeed have to give an explanation.
As one of the parties involved, Yueru didn't know what to say. She naturally didn't believe that Xiao Lingyu had any ill intentions towards her. Moreover, she had always felt that Xiao Lingyu was an upright and trustworthy person.
Although Yueru was naive, she could also guess that the deputy village chief had schemed to frame Xiao Lingyu. However, no one had any evidence to prove it.
"How should we deal with this matter?" the old village chief asked the deputy village chief.
"According to the village rules, such a despicable act should be burned at the stake!"
"Of course, he is the benefactor of our village and has made a lot of contributions to our village. Naturally, we can't execute him. However, in order to prevent people from getting hurt in the future, we must expel him from the village." The deputy village chief replied without hesitation. "Of course, he is the benefactor of our village and has made a lot of contributions to our village.
The old village chief was in a difficult position. Yueru exclaimed softly, "No!" Both of them knew that the reason this village could survive until today was because of Xiao Lingyu.
If Xiao Lingyu was chased out of the village, then if the Argent Legion attacked the Linggu Valley again, the Linggu Valley wouldn't be able to survive as easily as last time.
However, this pervert's crime wasn't small. It wouldn't be right if they didn't punish him.
Outside the house, the shouts were still coming one after another, especially from the deputy village head's faction. From the beginning until now, they had almost never stopped.
"Haha."
At this moment, the old village chief suddenly laughed.
"Previously, I said that there was definitely a traitor in the village. At that time, I wasn't sure who the traitor was, but now …"
The old village chief looked at the deputy village chief and continued, "Now, I can confirm who the traitor is."
The deputy village chief was stared at by the old village chief, but he still straightened his back. He didn't look guilty or afraid at all.
"Kang Xun, I don't know why you want to be a traitor, but your actions this time are too obvious."
The old village chief turned to look at the villagers outside the house and said, "Our Linggu Valley relied on Xiao Lingyu's various heroic performances to get through the previous difficulties. Xiao Lingyu is a powerhouse of our Linggu Valley. At this moment, the people who want him to leave our village the most are naturally our enemies. Today's pervert incident was obviously deliberately set up by Kang Xun to frame Xiao Lingyu. "
"Haha!"
Deputy village chief Kang Xun laughed loudly and said, "Old village chief, do you have proof that I'm a traitor? You said that I framed Xiao Lingyu, but how do you prove it? I think you're purposely trying to clear his name! "
