Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Just Try and You’ll Know!_1

Immediately, Lin Luye burst into a furious rage, shouting loudly, "Nonsense! There’s never been anything between Shuangquan and me in the woods... such acts!" As she spoke, Lin Luye’s face also turned red.

"Did I just specify it was you and Pan Shuangquan? Hehe, not bad, you’ve already taken it personally," An Jing said with unruffled composure.

Lin Luye’s face became even redder, her curses more vicious, "An Jing, seeing that you lived alone, we kindly came to visit you, but here you are, black-hearted, slandering us! Just because you are barren doesn’t mean you can’t have a good heart. Your current malice is clear, you’re intent on ruining Shuangquan’s and my reputation. If word gets out, how can we face anyone? We’ve seen the malicious, but never as vile as you! Aren’t you afraid of descending to hell for your evil doings?"

"Slander?" An Jing replied methodically, "Are you sure it’s just slander? Hehe... I didn’t speak up back then because you are my cousin, and had you not come to me today, perhaps I would have let this matter slide. But since you’re here, and even trying to bully me and my husband, I won’t keep this hidden anymore—while Pan Shuangquan and I were still betrothed, you were already intimately involved with him, meeting in secret consistently!"

"An Jing, you’re spouting blood! Spouting blood! Spouting blood!" Surrounded by so many onlookers, Lin Luye felt her reputation completely destroyed by An Jing and screamed hysterically, losing all of her usual composure, politeness, and sensibleness.

Pan Shuangquan was also enraged, his face dark, and forehead veins bulging as he barked fiercely, "An Jing, one must have a conscience. Don’t speak of things without evidence! This concerns Lin Luye’s and my good name!"

"I don’t have evidence," An Jing admitted readily. Then she added, "But I do have a way to prove it."

Upon hearing that An Jing had no evidence, Pan Shuangquan was at ease. As for An Jing’s claim of having a way to prove it, Pan Shuangquan simply didn’t believe her. After all this time, what could she possibly do to prove it?

Lin Luye thought the same as Pan Shuangquan and immediately challenged, "Then prove it! The government officer is here too; let him and the others listen and judge. If you can’t prove it, I’m willing to risk my life and go to the Yamen to accuse you of ruining our names, making it impossible for us to live! You’re driving us to our deaths!"

Among the onlooking government officials, one spoke up at the right moment, "Arguing is one thing, but deliberately slandering and ruining someone’s good name to the point of driving them to death, that’s a crime."

An Jing remained calm and composed, with arms crossed, she said, "The method is very simple, take a deadly oath."

Since there was such a firm belief in the existence of divine beings above, and since taking a deadly oath was so effective, she of course didn’t mind using this method once more.

Looking at Lin Luye, An Jing provocatively said, "All you have to do is swear that you and Pan Shuangquan had absolutely no involvement prior to the cancellation of our engagement. If there was any involvement, may you drop dead instantly."

Lin Luye’s face turned pale in an instant.

Pan Shuangquan’s face also turned pale. They had not anticipated that An Jing would indeed have a way, and that this method was genuinely effective. One test would tell all!

Looking at Pan Shuangquan, An Jing challenged again, "The same goes for you, take a deadly oath. If before you broke off our engagement, you were already involved with Lin Luye, may you drop dead instantly."

The crowd of onlookers nodded, "This is a good method."
