He sighed and looked at the cellar with a frown.
He thought to himself, It's not easy to seize this opportunity. It's not good not to plant a seed of doubt in everyone's hearts!”
He flipped his palm and took out a non-poisonous snake from the mall in the small courtyard. He placed it on the ground.
"Ah, there's a snake!"
Qin Huairu's scream rang out from the cellar, and she rushed out of the cellar in terror.
"There's a snake, there's a snake!"
The moment Qin Huairu ran out, she rushed straight to Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai raised his hand and grabbed the snake. Qin Huiru collapsed to the ground as if she had collapsed.
The surroundings instantly fell silent.
Soon, he recalled everyone's discussion.
"Qin Huiru is in the cellar. Why did Jia Zhang-shi say that Qin Huiru isn't here?”
"Something's not right. What is First Master doing in the cellar with Qin Huairu so late at night?”
Everyone looked at Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu, and Jia Zhangshi with a sigh.
Second Uncle Liu Haizhong immediately reacted and grabbed Yi Zhonghai's hand.""Yi Zhonghai, you sanctimonious thing. What are you doing in the cellar with a widow at night?”
Yi Zhonghai's face turned ugly as he shouted,""Liu Haizhong, can you stop thinking about other people? How would I know that Qin Huairu was in the cellar?”
"Don't you know that Qin Huairu would go after you if she didn't?" Second Uncle laughed coldly.”
First Uncle Yi Zhonghai lowered his head and glanced at Qin Huairu, who had just survived a disaster and was now pale. He then looked at Second Uncle Liu Haizhong and the people around him. He sighed and said,""I really didn't know that Qin Huairu was in the cellar.”
"I was sleeping halfway when I suddenly remembered that I had to send something to Shazhu tomorrow, so I went to the cellar to get some food for Shazhu.”
Yi Zhonghai explained seriously. He had a good image in the courtyard, and many people believed his explanation.
However, there was also a portion of people whose eyes were filled with sighs as they swept their gazes over him and Qin Huairu.
Although Qin Huairu had calmed down, her expression still showed signs of shock. She explained generously,"I was indeed in the cellar, but First Uncle didn't see me.”
"Everyone knows that Silly Zhu has always been helping my family and is willing to let me use the grain in the cellar. I wanted to take some grain to cook for my mother-in-law and children tomorrow, so I went to the cellar.”
"After that, an old man came in. I was a widow. If people knew that I was in the cellar with him, it was inevitable that people would gossip, so I hid. Who knew that there were snakes in the cellar!”
The two of them cooperated and explained.
The second uncle snorted and laughed." It's the middle of the night. You're the first uncle of the courtyard and a widow. You're in the same cellar. Who knows what you're doing?”
"Yi Zhonghai, you're not doing things properly. You're not worthy of being the lord of the courtyard.”
The second uncle's bangs were like a serious leader.
Yi Zhonghai frowned." Why am I not doing things right? I didn't even know that Qin Huiru was in the cellar?”
"This is just a coincidence. How can you make a big deal out of a coincidence?”
The Second Uncle chuckled." Coincidence? Why don't I see other coincidences?"”
Jia Zhangshi stood at the side, her face so dark that her body was trembling.
"Liu Haizhong, what do you mean? My daughter-in-law already said that she hid and didn't see the First Uncle at all. Why do you have to slander my daughter-in-law?”
"What's wrong? Our Old Merchant and Dongxu are no longer around, and you're bullying us orphans and widows?”
Jia Zhang-shi made a scene with an aggrieved expression, slapping her thigh and wailing.
"Old Merchant, Dongxu, come back and take a look. How badly have your families been bullied?”
The onlookers in the courtyard had different thoughts.
Some people felt that First Master and Qin Huiru had some shady dealings. Unfortunately, no one knew what happened in the cellar.
Some people pursed their lips and watched the show, feeling that it had nothing to do with them. There were also some who felt that Second Grandpa was too much, bullying the Jia family's orphans and widows. After all, who in the courtyard did not know that First Grandpa was a good person?
"Second Uncle, this might really be a coincidence. Forget it!”
"That's right. Even if you want to be the big boss of the quad, didn't you say that it was all a coincidence?”
Second Uncle Liu Haizhong was being persuaded by a few people who sympathized with the weak and had a good impression of First Uncle Yi Zhonghai. He was so angry that he could not breathe.
"You people, Yi Zhonghai is clearly immoral, but you're protecting him and slandering me?”
Second Uncle's chest heaved up and down as he glared at First Uncle.
They had obviously gone into the cellar together, but someone did not believe it.
"Didn't I already say that it was a coincidence? Furthermore, Silly Zhu was on good terms with First Master Qin Huairu. The cellar was only open to the two of them, so it was normal for them to bump into each other!”
"That's right. It's already late. Go to sleep. You still have to work tomorrow!”
After watching half of the scene, the people around them yawned and said casually.
Fang Chengxuan stood in the distance and listened to everyone's discussion. His eyes darkened.
There was nothing to see in this scene.
He had never thought of using this matter to kill Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.
As the saying goes, it's good to catch an adulterer in bed.
Even though the relationship between men and women in this era was still very conservative, a well-known good man and a well-known diligent and kind widow in the quad.
"What a good reputation!”Fang Chengxuan muttered to himself and rubbed his fingers.
It was indeed right for him to think of safety in times of danger and plan ahead!
Otherwise, who knew what would happen to him and his family if he reported him in the future?
Fang Chengxuan carried Big Yellow back to the house and sat on the bed to stroke its fur.
"The key to dealing with First Uncle lies in Second Uncle's bangs!”
Fang Chengxuan narrowed his eyes, then let go of Big Yellow and lay down to sleep.
Outside, Yi Zhonghai followed a middle-aged woman back to the house with a sullen face.
The two of them were silent. The auntie looked into the eyes of the old man with a strong sense of anger.
Yi Zhonghai glanced at the auntie." Why are you up? Usually, after taking medicine, don't you sleep all night?”
"I slept the whole night. I didn't know you went to meet a widow in the middle of the night!"”
"Yi Zhonghai, you can hide it from others, but you can also hide it from me.”
Yi Zhonghai's expression darkened and he said in a low voice,""What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Others don't believe me, but you don't believe me either? Qin Huairu and I are innocent!”
"It's precisely because of me that I know what you and Qin Huairu were doing in the cellar," a middle-aged woman said coldly. Or do you want me to retrieve the bag of food in Qin Huairu's hands in front of everyone?”
Yi Zhonghai frowned." We didn't agree to help Qin Huairu's family!”
"I didn't discuss it with you to steal Qin Huiru! Yi Zhonghai, are you letting me down? If you don't want to live with me, then divorce me!”
"Now that women can hold up half the sky, it's not like I can't leave you!”
Yi Zhonghai looked at her helplessly and said," Don't take your temper for granted. We've been married for so many years. Would I really do anything to let you down?"”
An elder explained good-naturedly.
"Qin Huairu and I are just considering that since we don't have children, and Qin Huairu's family isn't having it easy, we should help him out a little. When he gets old in the future, he'll take care of us in our old age on account of our help!”
When the auntie heard that there were no children, it was as if a balloon had been popped. All the air inside deflated.
Not having a child was the thing that she had let down Old Yi the most.
She was still angry, but she did not lose her temper at Yi Zhonghai. She walked back to the bed without saying a word and lay down with her back facing Yi Zhonghai.
She did not notice that Yi Zhonghai, who was behind her, was secretly relieved as he watched her leave.
