Chapter 613 Zhou Bailian's Purpose

Hu Xiner didn't know much about martial arts, but she still knew to look at the number of people. The disciples of the Du family came prepared, with nearly 20 of them, while the disciples of the Zhou family were about half as many!

The contrast between these lineups is extremely huge.

Just as the atmosphere between the two sides was tense, a small sedan chair covered in green gauze suddenly rushed out from the side. The curtain of the sedan chair swayed slightly. Before it was opened, a crisp voice like an oriole was heard from inside: "Everyone, wait a minute!"

Immediately afterwards, a hand as soft as white jade gently pinched the curtain of the sedan chair and slowly lifted it up.

The person inside was wearing a moon-white dress and a fur collar around her neck. Although the veil on her face was light, her features could not be seen clearly.

Who else could it be but Miss Zhou if she behaves like this?

Someone in the fleeing crowd cried out in surprise, "Miss Zhou, Miss Zhou is here!"

More than half of the onlookers quickly ran back.

Miss Zhou frowned slightly, covered her handkerchief with her hand, and coughed softly a few times. There was a hint of reproach in her beautiful eyes: "Brother Zhou, how could you be so reckless?"

Zhou Chenghe breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Miss Zhou arrived in time, otherwise their Zhou family would have lost face today and would have been killed by the disciples of the Du family.

But on the surface, he said in a rough voice: "Junior sister, I want to seek justice for you. This Zhao Si bullied you before, and now he is even more like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, using the reputation of falsely accusing you to marry you!"

Zhou Qingyan's eyes flickered with suspicion, and she fluttered her long eyelashes slightly with a hint of shyness, making all her admirers stare blankly. "But, why did I hear that it was you who went to the comic book shop to embarrass Zhao Si?"

"Hmph!" The Du family disciples looked at them singing the same tune and curled their lips, their expressions very dissatisfied. "You two should stop playing double-act here. It's not the first time you've bullied others by taking advantage of your power."

"That's right, are you going to fight or not? Are you Zhou family members going to back down?"

"It was you who beat up our Du Xiaowu and Du Xiaoliu last time! Now that you can't beat us, you're scared?"

…

Zhou Qingyan heard the clamor and timidly approached the other disciples, "Greetings to all the brothers of the Du family. I came here to stop you because I heard you were behaving inappropriately."

Zhou Chenghe stepped forward with concern: "Hey, Junior Sister, if you're weak, don't go out in the wind. Besides, those people from the Du family are so fierce. They just said they wanted to eat you alive."

"No, Senior Brother Zhou, I think these brothers from the Du family are all good people." Zhou Qingyan said very simply.

The conversation between the two was still going on, but the people around them were already exclaiming in admiration.

"I never thought that a pure and innocent flower like Miss Zhou could bloom in the quagmire of the Zhou family."

"This may be the meaning of being untainted by the mud."

"Actually, Miss Zhou is quite pitiful. Perhaps it's because her family has done too many bad things that she has suffered retribution, but she has a pure and kind heart..."

Even the Du family members were a little confused, and those who didn't know Miss Zhou's true identity softened their attitude.

Only Hu Xiner, Mu Qing and others looked at each other, with speechless expressions on their faces.

Knowing that Hu Xin'er was clever, Hu Lao San sent a voice message and asked, "Mrs. Lu, you can't trust her! We need to see what she's up to. Nothing in the Zhou family's affairs is beyond the control of Miss Zhou."

Now that the master of the Zhou family is away, outsiders say that Zhou Chenghe is in charge of the Zhou family, but in fact it is the seemingly fragile Miss Zhou who takes care of all affairs.

So why did she personally send Zhou Chenghe to cause trouble and then pretend to stop it?

"I was wondering why the Zhou family suddenly thought of picking on Zhao Si," Hu Xin'er complained, "so they're trying to clear their name."

They originally thought that Zhou Qingyan would be extremely upset because of her damaged reputation, and they would naturally be able to have some peace and quiet for a while. However, they did not expect that Zhou Qingyan would simply give up on competing with her by continuing to spread the message, and instead chose to clear her name directly.

In other words, she showed that she was the only white lotus in the Zhou family, and all the blame belonged to the Zhou family and had nothing to do with her.

I have to say that this move is really mean, but considering the situation of the Zhou family, it is also a good move.

After all, the Zhou family's reputation is already dark enough, so they don't care about that little bit of blame.

"What does whitewashing mean?" Hu Laosan asked in confusion.

Hu Xin'er briefly explained the meaning of the word to him, then said, "Look, in just two or three sentences, the onlookers already think Miss Zhou is innocent. After today's incident, Miss Zhou can plant someone among the crowd to clear her name."

"Hmph! She has ruined our young lady's reputation like that, and now after her bad deeds were exposed, she wants to whitewash herself?" Hu Laosan clenched his fists, wishing he could smash Miss Zhou's face with one punch.

"Don't be impulsive," Hu Xin'er warned. "If you act impulsively, she'll immediately collapse. She's deliberately putting on this show for us and the people of Qingzhou City."

At this moment, Miss Zhou seemed to have just discovered Hu Xin'er and called out to her affectionately, "Sister, why are you here too?"

Hu Xin'er really wanted to reply, "Who is your sister?" Is the Zhou family's reputation so worthless? Or is it that the Zhou family lacks relatives, which is why the eldest daughter of the Zhou family calls everyone brother or sister?

But if I say this, all the previous performances will be in vain.

Then, she also revealed a very surprised expression: "Miss Zhou actually recognized me?"

Miss Zhou smiled and said, "Of course, but my sister is so pregnant, why is she still out alone?"

Hu Xin'er smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your concern, sister. I rushed here in a hurry because I heard that my own brother was framed."

"My dear brother?" Miss Zhou showed some surprise and gently covered her mouth. "Please don't blame me, sister. I'm just wondering how someone like you can have such a brother."

Hu Xiner thought that Miss Zhou would be a kind person to the end and be a complete innocent person. If that was the case, she would not know how to expose Miss Zhou's true face.

But, after just a few words, Miss Zhou actually started to mock Zhao Si's past record, both openly and covertly!

Her smile faded a little: "Yes, it's because my brother was ignorant in the past that he was easily framed."

Zhao Si responded very cleverly: "Sister, it's all my fault. It's all my fault for not being sensible!"

As he spoke, he began to wipe away his tears in grievance: "But I have turned over a new leaf, who knows..."
