Chapter 163 - Liumao is too young and cant remember clearly. Ive never seen him."

“Oh?” Guan Chibei said, “But you said that Sixth Uncle called you to do so?”

Liumao could not figure it out.

He sucked his fingers and thought hard, but couldn’t remember anything. He could only shake his head and say, “Sixth Uncle told me to be quiet… but Sister Liu Ya said this.”

Liumao could not differentiate. At that time, it was Liu Ya who told him that his Sixth Uncle was calling for him. He could not remember clearly what Liu Ya said. He only remembered that Guan Chibei had asked him to be quiet, but it was not Guan Chibei who had said it himself.

Guan Chibei said calmly, “Then who have you seen before?”

Liumao said in a daze, “Sister Liu Ya.”

“Liumao!” The more Liu Ya listened, the uglier her expression became. Upon hearing this, she suddenly could not help but lose control and shout. Her fair face froze.

The villagers were a little confused now. What did this mean? It was Guan Chibei who asked Liumao not to tell anyone, but it wasn’t Guan Chibei who said it, but Liu Ya?

Most of the villagers were at a loss when they heard this. Only a few seemed to have figured it out and looked at Guan Chibei and Liu Ya with deep eyes.

Guan Chibei took his time and asked in a different manner, “Then who brought this headband to you?”

“Sister Liu Ya.”

Because it had just happened less than an hour ago, Liumao still remembered. This time, he said it very clearly.

“Then who tied the headband to my clothes?”

“Me.” Liumao quickly replied. He said in a daze, “Sister Liu Ya asked me for help. Sixth Uncle told me not to tell anyone.”

“Ah, this…”

The villagers looked at each other. Many of them reacted.

So it turned out that it wasn’t Guan Chibei who instructed Liumao personally, but that girl from the Liu family? Then, that girl from the Liu family said that Guan Chibei wanted to keep it a secret?

Just from hearing this, one couldn’t ascertain that Guan Chibei had nothing to do with Liu Ya.

The villagers looked thoughtful.

Guan Chibei asked again, “Did Sixth Uncle touch Sister Liu Ya’s headband?”

Liumao shook his head and said, “No. Sixth Uncle was fishing in the river back then. His back was facing Liumao, so he didn’t see Liumao.”

This was…

The current explanation could not completely prove that Guan Chibei’s relationship with Liu Ya was innocent. However, Guan Chibei’s attitude was obvious when he asked Liumao about it. It seemed that Guan Chibei was denying his relationship with Liu Ya.

Everyone’s gazes became hesitant as they looked between Liu Ya and Guan Chibei.

At this moment, Guan Chibei finally looked at Liu Ya and asked coldly, “Then, I want to ask you now. Liu Ya, when did I…”

“No!”

“I’ve never seen Liumao before. He remembered wrongly. He was too young and picked up a headband. He must have remembered wrongly that I’ve seen him before!”

Under Guan Chibei’s questioning of Liumao, Liu Ya’s emotions were finally tense to the extreme. When Guan Chibei turned to face her, seemingly about to confront her, Liu Ya could not take it anymore and suddenly blurt out. She used her trump card and pushed the blame to Liumao. Her face was pale as she said,

“I was about to tell everyone that my headband fell this morning. I wanted to rush out to work, but I was too tired and accidentally loosened it. I was still wondering where my headband went. I only came over because I heard everyone talking about Sixth Brother Guan taking my headband. Otherwise, why would I come over?”

Liu Ya’s explanation was still watertight, but her smile was very forced. She continued to fix the last flaw and said, “I think Liumao must have picked up my headband. As he was playful, he tied it to Sixth Brother Guan. However, I come out to work every day. When Liumao comes out to play, he can see me. He’s only four years old and is too young. He can’t remember clearly. He imagined that he saw me today.”
