Chapter 241
"What on earth do you want to do?" Zhong Qiao said with a cold face, and immediately stepped forward to "stop" them.
"What else can I do? But catch someone in adultery!" Zhong Hua had finally waited for this day, so she naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip away. She screamed, "Zhong Qiao, I still think of you as my cousin, but you're bringing disgrace upon our family like this."
"Since you don't even consider us sisters, and don't take our sisterly reputation seriously, then there's no need for me to cover up for you!"
With her indignant voice, Zhong Qiao was pushed aside by others, while Zhong Hua grabbed the quilt with a heroic and confident hand and pulled it back.
She pulled the quilt open and slowly fell down.
There was indeed someone inside.
But it wasn’t Boss Zhou, but Zhong Siqi.
At this time, he was half asleep and looked at the crowd with a confused look on his face.
"Zhong Long, Uncle Li, Aunt Xie, why are you all here? And you're all gathered around me."
Zhong Hua was stunned for a moment, clutching the quilt in her hands in a daze.
This is not right. Logically, it should be Boss Zhou. They clearly discussed it together. In this way, the money will belong to them, Boss Zhou will get the beauty, and Zhong Qiao will be ruined. It will kill three birds with one stone.
But now the plan was suddenly disrupted.
Zhong Siqi, who was supposed to be sleeping next door, suddenly ran here, and Boss Zhou disappeared.
Boss Zhou is not a generous person. On the contrary, he has always been vindictive. If he doesn't get the meat in his mouth, he will definitely not let Zhong Qiao go easily.
But now, the truth is right in front of us. What is going on?
"Zhong Qiao, you!" Zhong Hua's defenses were somewhat broken. "It must have been you who did this. How could the person in your bed be Zhong Siqi?"
Zhong Qiao looked at her, his eyes icy, "How can you be so sure that the person in my bed is not Siqi?"
Zhong Hua was stunned for two seconds, her brain working rapidly, and she immediately retorted: "I clearly saw a man enter your room last night, and that man's body shape was not Zhong Siqi at all!"
Zhong Qiao said "oh".
However, Zhong Hua felt that she would not be able to answer this question, because Boss Zhou was arranged by them. Even if Zhong Qiao refuted it, they could find other evidence.
By then, if things go smoothly, Zhong Qiao will still be in a dead end.
Zhong Qiao asked back, "You actually saw a wild man enter my room last night, so why didn't you report it until this morning?"
Zhong Hua was stunned. This question was not what she expected.
"Yes, Zhong Hua was yelling in the yard early this morning, as if she was afraid that others didn't know. I thought she had accidentally seen it, but she just said that she saw it last night. Then why did she start reporting it this morning?"
There were also some rational people among the onlookers. After hearing what Zhong Qiao said, they immediately started to murmur.
"Yeah, this doesn't make sense. She couldn't have done it on purpose, could she?"
"I heard that when Zhong Qiao was a widow living with her children in her parents' home, Cui Liu's family caused a lot of trouble. Zhong Hua doesn't seem to be very familiar with Zhong Qiao, so it's hard to say what's going on."
"I think these two people are not good people. The top beam is not upright and the bottom beam is crooked. Both of them are surnamed Zhong. One eloped with someone else, and the other framed his own cousin. They are really evil."
The person who was speaking was an aunt with a big face. She kept spitting melon seed shells on the ground and did not forget to touch the top of the head of the child next to her.
"You must never marry a woman like this in the future. The more beautiful a woman is, the more vicious her mind is. Few of them will be content."
The child didn't understand and just covered his head and watched the show.
"Let's ask Zhong Siqi first." Someone in the crowd identified the crux of the matter. "Why did he end up in his sister's bed? All of this is related to him. Let him explain."
Everyone turned their eyes to Zhong Siqi.
Zhong Siqi touched his nose and was now extremely sober: "I don't know either. I just remember that I was quite happy last night, so I drank a few more glasses with grandpa. Not long after I left, I lost my memory."
"But—" he changed the subject and said, "I can't drink much, and my drinking habits are even worse. Maybe I got drunk and acted crazy yesterday, so my sister couldn't do anything about me, so she helped me to her room."
This statement does work, and a small number of people among the masses already believe it.
Zhong Hua observed the expressions on everyone's faces and knew that the situation was no longer as smooth as before, but when she looked at Zhong Qiao's smug face, she almost lost her mind.
"There must be something wrong with them! They are just lying." Zhong Hua said in a shrill voice, "Zhong Qiao is the most vicious person. Don't believe her one-sided words."
"I clearly saw a man being affectionate with my cousin last night. I saw it with my own eyes. Why didn't I report it? Because I wanted to save my cousin's face."
She was about to cry.
"I didn't expect my cousin would drag me into this."
Maybe it was because she cried so pitifully that some people couldn't bear it.
"Zhong Hua is a college student, she's educated. How can a widow compare to her? I think Zhong Hua was framed."
Zhong Qiao remained surprisingly calm in the face of these comments: "Whether this man entered my room or not, you saw that only my brother is in my room."
"If anyone does come to see me, it's only to talk about business matters."
"What about that person?" someone called out. "Hey, Zhong Hua, since you said you saw someone enter your cousin's room, why don't you provide some evidence? How can we believe you with just empty words?"
Zhong Hua bit her lip and was about to answer when she was knocked to the ground by a child who suddenly appeared. She grimaced in pain.
"Tiger Head!" The little boy rushed in hurriedly, "A stranger has entered our yard."
The onlookers were shocked when they heard this, including Zhong Hua, who was thrown off her rhythm by this sudden situation.
Zhong Hua said, "It must be the wild man that Zhong Qiao kept outside. It's absolutely immoral, and she even brought him back."
She asked the little boy to lead the way, and with great enthusiasm, the others followed. After waiting for about 10 minutes, they finally arrived at Zhong Hua's house.
Zhong Hua looked at his yard and the gate, which seemed to have been opened by someone else. For some reason, he felt a pang of fear in his heart.
"Are you sure this is it?" Zhong Hua had already taken a few steps back. She vaguely felt that something was wrong.
But the people behind her were in a very positive mood and were determined to cheer her up no matter what.
Caught in a dilemma, Zhong Hua didn't know what to do and could only pray silently in her heart that it would not be what she thought.
However, the reality is harsh. The next second, Boss Zhou's voice was heard.
