Chapter 426 Key figure Ⅱ
Chen Quanyi continued, "You don't know this, but the Xi and Huang families had an engagement. Years ago, there was a case involving a rapist, and Xi Qianhua was one of the victims at the time. Due to the relationship between the two families, Magistrate Huang covered it up with other cases and didn't hold a public trial. They never caught the perpetrator, and the matter was eventually dropped." Shen Huan understood and said, "Since then, the Huang family has had a hang-up. How could Magistrate Huang's son marry Xi Qianhua, who had been raped? But the engagement was still in place and couldn't be voided. Magistrate Huang adopted you as his foster son to fulfill the engagement. Right?" "Almost. I rejected it several times before he begged me to accept." "Was the Xi family willing?" "Magistrate Huang pressured them." "And you were willing?" "To be honest, I was extremely unwilling. What if the rapist, who hadn't been caught, came after Xi Qianhua again? My life might be in danger. May I ask, are you that rapist? Why are you here today?" "
