Upon hearing their intention to end his life, Mu Erlaizi couldn't help but panic and yelled, "It was your shameless daughter who seduced me, why should I be punished for it."
Mu Zhongli kicked him and harshly spat, "Take a good look at yourself in your piss, my daughter would never be interested in an old bachelor like you."
Mu Erlaizi pointed at Cai Ping and shouted, "Fellow townsfolk, look! His daughter came to my house dressed like this, layered with makeup. If she didn't come to seduce me, what did she come for?"
The people looked and indeed, Cai Ping's attire today was different from her usual. She was wearing a conspicuous red silk beizi which was tailored to accentuate her slender waist and bust. The white powder on her face had been partially washed away by tears, but the remainder was still highly visible.
Immediately, people started whispering amongst themselves. Although their voices were low, they were still audible.
