Chapter 206 - 206: Dare You?
The fabric for the clothes Zhang Family had made for him was purchased from Xiangji Fabric Shop. They bought too much and didn’t use it all, so they used the leftover to make him a pair of underpants.
Now that he saw a pair of underpants, identical to his, in the hands of the Sun family, most certainly, the fabric for these came from the Xiangji Fabric Shop as well.
There are only two fabric shops in Bailu Town. One sells rough linen clothes for the common folk, and the other, Xiangji Fabric Shop, sells only fine silk and satin.
The underpants in the hands of the Sun family looked new. Therefore, there was a good chance that she went to the town herself to buy the fabric.
However, he was curious as to how she found out that he possessed a pair of underpants like these.
Upon considering the possibilities, he narrowed his eyes and curled his lips. “Sun Family, I am going to the Xiangji Fabric Shop in the town to inquire with the shopkeeper and see if this fabric was purchased by you or someone from your family.
“If it turns out it was you, then you are guilty of slander. As per the Daqi Laws, you will not get away from the punishment.”
Upon hearing this, the expression on Sun Family’s face tensed uncomfortably.
What Tong Sanlang made sense. The fabric for this underpants indeed came from the Xiangji Fabric Shop.
But, it wasn’t her who bought it—it was Sun Junyan.
After the last time Sun Junyan returned home and was humiliated by Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Tiehu, he formulated a counter-strategy: falsely accuse Qiao Meipan and forcefully push her to Tong Sanlang.
Coincidentally, Zhu Cuiying, while visiting Tong Family, accidentally found San Sanlang washing clothes, which happened to include that pair of underpants that Zhang Family had made for him.
When Zhu Cuiying returned home and found that Sun Junyan had bought the same fabric for his robe, she offhandedly mentioned it.
While the speaker had no intention, the listener took interest. What she unintentionally mentioned fell in the sharp ears of Sun Junyan becoming a poisonous scheme.
So, Sun Family made an identical pair of underpants.
They had planned to expose this matter at an appropriate time, but now that Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang dared to hold a private meeting in broad daylight, they had to execute this plan urgently, fearing that they may not get another chance.
So, in the face of such incidents as broken ties and corporal punishment, Sun Junyan did not hesitate to ask Sun Family and Qiao Meipan to implement this plan.
But now, Tong Sanlang pointed out the source of the fabric of the underpants in her hands…
Would he go to the town to confront the shopkeeper of the fabric shop?
No, no, no.
This won’t work!
According to her plan, she would dig into Tong Sanlang’s room for proof once he denied it. After finding his underpants, she would then insist that he had crafted two such underpants. Then, Tong Sanlang would certainly be unable to excuse himself.
But this was not what she had planned.
Clenching her teeth, she tightly grasped the underpants in her hand and yelled, “I don’t know where this fabric came from! I only know that you left these underpants behind during your secret rendezvous with Meipan! Are you brave enough to let me sift through your room?!”
“Alright, you can search.” Seeing the righteous indignation in Sun Family’s eyes, Tong Sanlang instantly changed his mind.
Going to the fabric shop is too much of a hassle, why not solve the problem right here, right now?
Observing the delight in Sun family’s eyes, he curled his lips into a smile and added, “But remember, if you can’t find anything, then you are guilty of false accusation.”
“Moreover, 1’11 ask Dr. Wu to examine your daughter right now and if she’s still a virgin, then you’ve falsely accused me of another crime.”
“And your false accusations are incredibly malicious. They not only tarnish my reputation but also that of Miss Qiao Xiaomai. You are certainly deserving of fifty hard whacks. Neither you nor your daughter shall escape.”
Witnessing the drastic change in Sun Family’s complexion, he deepened the cold sneer at the corner of his mouth, challenging her, “Dare you?”
