"Why? Just because you brought this Daoist here," the village chief said sternly, unable to fathom that such a malignant family existed in his jurisdiction.
Mrs. Sun quickly glanced at Mrs. Lin and shouted loudly, "We didn't bring him! It was Mrs. Lin who asked her brother to bring him. She said her brother is acquainted with the Temple Master of the White Cloud Temple. It was Mrs. Lin who told me she felt something was off with Meng Yao and Zhao Xiaohua, that they must be possessed by spirits. I was instigated by her!"
Mrs. Lin was dumbfounded, thinking of ways to extricate herself, only to find her mother-in-law dumping all the blame on her.
"So, just arrest Mrs. Lin and her brother and send them to the authorities; our family has nothing to do with this," Mrs. Sun struggled, "Release us quickly; we are victims too, all incited by this venomous woman."
Mrs. Lin cast her gaze towards Meng Cheng.
Meng Cheng glanced at her briefly and quickly turned his head away.
