Chapter 2889
Zhu Zhibin nodded after listening. "Then let us watch the show. It is true that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If he gets into trouble while settling scores with Zhang Baozhu, we can help a little."
She said this with a grin.
Zhang Weixi naturally agreed. "I will listen to you."
"Zhang Linshan, why are you here?" Zhang Baozhu’s eyes seemed to flicker.
Zhang Linshan spoke directly. "I am here to expose your true face as a beauty snake."
"Zhang Linshan, do you know what you are doing?" Zhang Baozhu glared at him.
Zhang Linshan sneered coldly. "I know exactly what I am doing. If I had not been afraid of your family’s status and stayed silent about the truth back then, my uncle’s family would not have been destroyed. My father developed a heart demon because he felt guilty towards his brother. So today, I will say the truth no matter what."
Then Zhang Linshan turned to the groom. "Groom, why do you want to marry Zhang Baozhu? Is it because she saved you? But are you sure she was the one who saved you?"
"Zhang Linshan!" Zhang Baozhu called out.
The groom was stunned. He looked at Zhang Baozhu, then at Zhang Linshan. "What do you mean? Did Baozhu not save me back then?"
"Of course it was me," Zhang Baozhu said hurriedly.
"If it was you, then tell me what you looked like when you met him. How did you save him? Where did you save him? And what did you do afterwards?" Zhang Linshan looked at Zhang Baozhu with a cold smile.
Zhang Baozhu looked at Zhang Linshan. The redness on her face was gone, replaced by a hint of panic.
"Could it be that Zhang Linshan really came here for me?" Zhang Weixi was stunned.
"Probably," Zhu Zhibin said calmly. "Didn’t you hear him? Because of his silence, your eldest uncle felt guilty towards your family and developed a heart demon. A cultivator with a heart demon has reached the end of their path."
Zhang Weixi understood and sighed. "They say if a man does not look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him. I can understand Zhang Linshan’s actions. Although our families had some friendship, it was not deep. It was impossible for him to speak up for me back then. But this matter affected his own father, so it became a problem."
Zhu Zhibin smiled lightly. "There is no right or wrong. If she had spoken up from the beginning, none of this would have happened. Because she did not speak, the groom did not appear in time, and your family was destroyed. I guess Zhang Baozhu had already claimed your merit of saving someone. She was afraid you would reveal the truth, so she persecuted your family. Forcing you to marry the Liu family’s fool was just a strategy."
Zhang Weixi raised her eyebrows slightly. "I only saved her casually. I did not expect any reward."
"Wife, not everyone thinks like you," Zhu Zhibin smiled.
Many people in this world like to use kindness to seek rewards. Zhang Baozhu claimed Zhang Weixi’s favor towards the groom only for the groom’s family power.
Zhang Baozhu was nervous, but she said, "Zhang Linshan, you are drunk."
"Drunk?" Zhang Linshan sneered. "I came only to reveal the truth. I did not even eat breakfast. How could I drink wine?"
"Sir, you say Baozhu, no, Miss Zhang, did not save me?" the groom asked. "But I vaguely heard that the girl who saved me had the surname Zhang. She was from the Zhang family."
"That is correct. She was from the Zhang family," Zhang Linshan said seriously. "But the Zhang girl was not Zhang Baozhu. The Zhang family has main branches, secondary branches, and collateral branches. The one who saved you was from a secondary branch. Her name is Zhang Weixi."
"Then, where is my savior?" the groom asked urgently.
"You have to ask your bride about that," Zhang Linshan said with a cold smile.
"What do you mean?" The groom had a very bad feeling.
"Zhang Baozhu wanted to claim this merit. She was afraid Zhang Weixi would reveal the truth. So she urged the main branch of the Zhang family to betroth Zhang Weixi to the Liu family’s fool, who has been stupid since childhood. Zhang Weixi’s parents, my uncle and aunt, naturally refused and resisted. Because their cultivation was low, the main branch of the Zhang family killed them all. Zhang Weixi was forced to jump off a cliff."
Zhang Linshan looked at Zhang Baozhu, his eyes full of hatred. "I watched all this happen but dared not speak. I thought it would be fine. But my father knew the truth. He knew I saw everything. So he felt guilty towards my uncle’s family. He went astray in his cultivation and developed a heart demon. Our family was destroyed too. So whether for my family or for my father, I must reveal the truth."
After saying this, Zhang Linshan looked at the groom. "I do not know if you believe me. But I want to say, I never lie."
"I believe you," the groom said helplessly. "The first time I heard Miss Zhang’s voice, I felt it was different from the girl who saved me. But Miss Zhang insisted it was her. And there were no other girls in the Zhang family. I thought I heard wrong. Now I know I did not hear wrong. Someone just claimed the credit."
The groom lost his previous gentleness. Instead, he had a killing intent. "Your Zhang family deceived our Hu family like this. You had better give me an explanation. Otherwise, I will destroy your Zhang family."
Seeing this, Zhu Zhibin whispered to Zhang Weixi. "It seems we do not need to act. The Zhang family is finished."
"I never expected my cousin to come out to clear my name. It is really unexpected," Zhang Weixi said. She could not believe Zhang Linshan would go this far.
Zhu Zhibin thought for a moment. "After things here are over, let us go see your uncle. I have medicine given by my sister, the Heart-Clearing Pill. It will surely eliminate his heart demon instantly."
"Good." Zhang Weixi smiled gently at Zhu Zhibin.
The two continued to watch the situation below. The situation below gradually developed.
"Groom Hu, please believe me. It was really me who saved you," Zhang Baozhu said. She knew she could not deny saving her at this moment. If she denied it, the blow to her family would be huge.
"Then answer me. Where exactly did you save me? What method did you use? Who was with you at that time? Who can prove you saved me?" The groom asked several questions, each sharper than the last.
Zhang Baozhu had falsely claimed the merit. Usually, she would just say that saving someone is not something to brag about every day. That was considered modest. So everyone thought she was humble.
Now that everyone knew she did not know the details, they all looked at Zhang Baozhu.
