"Second brother, the person who injured you has been caught."

This was probably the best news Liu Fang had heard today. Not only her, but also Grandma Xu and Xu Mao were very excited.

Where is he/she?

Xu Mao couldn't wait to see this person so he could ask him why he had injured him.

Fu Man'er gave Lu Sheng a wink, and Lu Sheng walked outside.

Everyone eagerly awaited Lu Sheng to bring the person in, but Chun'er clenched her fists.

They caught someone? That means Zhou Baojin was arrested.

At this moment, she naturally did not want Zhou Baojin to be arrested, so she prayed in her heart that the person she brought in would not be Zhou Baojin.

Unfortunately, God only grants your wish once; He won't grant it a second time.

Lu Sheng led two guards in, who were carrying a person who was bound hand and foot.

Even though his face had been beaten up like a pig's head, Chun'er still recognized him; it was Zhou Baojin.

Her face turned pale instantly, and her mind went completely blank.

She clearly told Zhou Baojin to leave early in the morning, so how could he still be caught?

Zhou Baojin had already been thrown to the ground, and the Xu family members all craned their necks to look at the ground.

Xu Mao frowned and looked at him for a while, probably because he had been beaten too badly. Then he put his hand under the man's nose to check for breath. Fortunately, the man was still alive.

Fu Man'er nervously clenched her fingers. "Um, I couldn't stop myself when I was hitting him."

Not only did he not stop, but if Shuangxi hadn't intervened in time, Zhou Baojin's life would have been taken by Fuman'er.

"Sister Lu Sheng." Fu Man'er called out, and Lu Sheng understood. She touched Zhou Baojin's acupoint with her finger, and Zhou Baojin slowly woke up.

Suddenly found himself in an unfamiliar environment, he hadn't quite registered what was happening yet, his eyes darting around unconsciously.

When his gaze fell on Fu Man'er, his pupils dilated, his body involuntarily shrank into a ball, and he mumbled something incomprehensible.

Xu Mao leaned closer to hear more clearly what they were saying: "Don't spill it, or we'll pay you back."

The sentences don't connect, they're nonsensical, and I can't understand them.

Seeing that Zhou Baojin was awake, Xu Mao grabbed him by the collar and demanded, "Why did you hurt me? Who are you?"

Zhou Baojin was stunned for a moment when he saw Xu Mao. Then he looked at Chun'er behind him, and his head, which was aching from being hit, started to throb again.

"Speak!" Seeing him standing there blankly, Xu Mao tugged at his collar and shook him.

Chun'er kept giving Zhou Baojin meaningful glances, signaling him not to tell the truth.

Fu Man'er saw all of this. "Zhou Baojin, you'd better tell the truth, or you'd better consider how many more blows your body can take."

In just a short while, Zhou Baojin had already suffered several broken bones, and upon hearing this, he shuddered again.

He swallowed hard, finally succumbing to Fu Man'er's tyranny, "I, you~"

Seeing that he was stammering and didn't want to speak, Fu Man'er frowned. "Hmm?"

Zhou Baojin was terrified of her. "I'll talk, I'll talk."

He closed his eyes and rattled off everything: "I was having an affair with Chun'er, and you just happened to come and disturb us. I didn't like you, so I knocked you out."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deathly silence again.

The only sound was the gentle chewing of Fu Man'er's hands as she held the pastries; she was hungry.

When she finished eating the pastry in her hand, Chun'er finally reacted.

She stopped covering her baby belly and knelt down on the ground with a thud, shouting.

"Nonsense, you're talking nonsense."

"Madam, Madam, this person is talking nonsense. I don't know him."

"Yes, yes~" After holding back for a long time, the topic suddenly turned to Fu Man'er, "It must be you, you hired someone to frame me, didn't you?"

Fu Man'er picked up another pastry, and without saying a word, just watched Chun'er perform.

Grandma Xu didn't say anything, but judging from her expression, she was happy.

Xu Mao looked at Chun'er, who kept explaining, and after a long while, he finally asked, "Chun'er, is everything he said true?"

So much happened today that he can't keep up. His mind is a complete mess right now.

Chun'er quickly turned around, "Second Young Master, you have to believe me. He, he's just talking nonsense. I didn't do it. I'm devoted to you, Second Young Master."

She tried to convince Xu Mao, but when Chun'er reached out her hand, Xu Mao chose to step back and avoid her hand.

"Zhou Baojin, keep going," Fu Man'er urged, swinging her legs. "Let's finish this quickly so we can eat."

"Oh." Zhou Baojin glanced at Chun'er before continuing, "I'm the son of the former owner of that estate, and I've known Chun'er for a long time."

In general, Chun'er was also a woman kept in the manor by the landlord, but she only worked for Zhou Baojin. When the manor was sold, all the women in the manor were dismissed.

Only a few remained, hoping to live a better life through their next owner.

So when Chun'er met Xu Mao, she had this idea, but she couldn't stop Zhou Baojin from coming back to find her.

The two of them secretly flirted countless times.

Xu Mao was often away from the estate, so he had no way of knowing what Chun'er was doing.

After Zhou Baojin finished speaking, he realized that Xu Mao was so angry that his hands were trembling. He silently took a step back, afraid that Xu Mao would hit him.

After all, this would be an utter disgrace for any man.

Chun'er was going crazy. She wanted to make excuses, but she didn't know where to begin.

Finally, in desperation, she pleaded, "Second Young Master, the child I'm carrying is yours, it's your flesh and blood!"

She knew that nothing she said now would make a difference; the only thing she could rely on was the baby in her belly.

Liu Fang snorted coldly, "Someone like you dares to say that this child belongs to the Xu family. Who knows whose man it is?"

“It’s true. I’ve been counting the days. Second Young Master, think about it. According to the dates, it was that one time.”

Chun'er stared intently at Xu Mao; this was her only bargaining chip, and she had to hold onto it tightly.

Xu Mao's lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

Fu Man'er had just finished eating another pastry when she gave an order to Shuangxi behind her, and Shuangxi ran out.

A little while later, she brought in a few more people, and Chun'er looked ashen-faced when she saw them.

These were the people who stayed in the estate with her, but were later driven out by her.

Fu Man'er also stood up and said to Xu Mao, "Second Brother, don't take some things to heart. The truth of the matter is still unknown."

"Man'er?" Xu Mao stammered, raising his head and looking at his younger sister helplessly.

Fu Man'er gently patted his shoulder, "Let's hear what they have to say first."

When Chun'er saw these people, her body went limp. She knew that today was the end for her.

These people all knew what she had done before, which is why she tried every means to drive people out of the estate, just in case she was discovered one day.

In fact, she never shared a room with Xu Mao. She simply spent money to buy some sleeping pills and put them in Xu Mao's wine so that he would drink it.

After Xu Mao fell into a coma, she went to have an affair with Zhou Baojin, and then pretended to have physical intimacy with Xu Mao.

It was from that time that she began to use this matter to ask Xu Mao for more things: a maidservant, a higher status in the estate, and more gold and silver jewelry.

But she wasn't in a hurry to ask Xu Mao to marry her. She wanted to wait until Xu Mao felt guilty and took the initiative to ask him.

Now the day has come, but it has also come to the point where the whole truth is revealed.

She was filled with resentment. Everything was perfectly fine, so how did everything suddenly come to light?

They're both blessed, yet they're both cursed; with her around, nothing good ever happens.

A surge of hatred welled up in Chun'er's eyes, and she suddenly lunged at Fu Man'er.

Lu Sheng hurriedly pulled Fu Man'er aside, and was about to kick Chun'er away when Xu Mao pushed her away first.

Xu Mao, his eyes red, yelled at her, "What exactly do you want? You've already messed with me, now you want to hurt my sister!"

He was furious; his fist was already clenched, about to smash it at Chun'er, when Chun'er cried out in surprise.

The fist finally slammed into the ground next to her, leaving bloodstains immediately.

Grandma Xu and Liu Fang rushed over, calling for help and searching for medicine, making quite a commotion.
