Chapter 610 Witness
They just thought that Zhou Chenghe was trying to uphold justice, but they didn't expect that the Zhou family has never been easy to deal with. Even if Miss Zhou's good reputation is spread everywhere, it can't cover up the Zhou family's nature of doing evil.
This time, Zhou Chenghe was not here to uphold justice for them, but to act for the reputation of his young lady. As for the means... haha, he would naturally use what he was best at.
The people at the back were still trying to find out what was happening in front: "Hey, what happened?"
"Oh my God, Zhou Chenghe actually started fighting with the eldest son of the Lu family." Someone with bright eyes said quickly.
"What kind of family is this? The eldest son of the Lu family is so thin and weak, and Zhou Chenghe actually dared to harm him?" Everyone exclaimed.
The man quickly explained, "No, no, I think it was the eldest son of the Lu family who started it. The two of them fought back and forth, and Zhou Chenghe was even beaten back!"
"You are not lying, are you?" Many people who couldn't see clearly gathered around and looked at him with questioning eyes.
Although the Lu family did not know Mu Qing well because they had only been here for a short time, they knew Zhou Chenghe very well.
Zhou Chenghe is a man with a vicious heart and unpredictable mood. He is a well-known ruthless character in Qingzhou City.
He was used to bullying people in Qingzhou City. Even when collecting protection fees on the street, he would give them two dates.
On the other hand, when Mr. Lu came, I had a vague glimpse of him. He was a thin and weak young man, and he was still sitting in the carriage. How could he have beaten Zhou Chenghe back?
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!
But the facts are as clear as iron before them.
Mu Qing stood firmly in place, his green sleeves spread out as he stretched his arms, blocking Hu Xiner.
His eyes were like knives: "Since you don't dare to fight me, let Zhao Si go quickly."
Zhou Chenghe's eyes were unfriendly, but he didn't seem to want to confront them head-on, so he said hypocritically, "Okay, then let's give Mr. Lu some face—why don't you quickly bring a chair over for Zhao Si?"
Zhao Si finally broke free from the others' control. He shook his aching arms and took a few deep breaths. He didn't even bother to wipe the sand and gravel off his face. He smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, sister, and thank you, brother-in-law!"
After Mu Qing and Zhou Chenghe clashed, the witness was also brought up.
Hu Xiner looked closely and saw that it was actually a woman, and her face looked somewhat familiar.
Before she could figure out who this person was, she heard Zhou Chenghe say in a sinister tone, "Others may not know this Sister Li, but you should all know her, right?"
Sister Li...
Hu Xin'er frowned. "Are you Li Ju? The one who used to be the kitchen manager in the old lady's room, and was later transferred to serve the young lady?"
Mu Qing also remembered. He and Hu Xiner looked at each other, and their eyes became solemn at the same time.
Originally, it was thought that this incident was just revenge by the Zhou family, or that the Zhou family saw that the matter had become a big deal and was afraid that it would affect the reputation of Miss Zhou, so they wanted to find a scapegoat for the rumors and chose Zhao Si to find fault.
But no one expected that this matter would be related to the internal traitor that was bothering the Lu family.
I remember that when Lu's mother had just fallen into a long coma, Yin Li came to remind Hu Xiner that there was a traitor in the Lu family.
At that time, the two targets locked on by Hu Xiner and others were Li Ju, who worked as the kitchen manager in the old lady's room, and another maid who served tea and snacks.
But before their identities could be found out, things happened one after another. Later, Jiang Ning was instigated by the servants to throw herself into his arms. Hu Xiner cut the Gordian knot and drove them both out.
Who could have thought that today he would see this old servant in the hands of the Zhou family?
Moreover, she came to accuse Zhao Si!
Hu Xin'er moved her mouth, but no sound came out.
At the same time, her voice echoed in Mu Qing's mind. It was she who used the secret transmission method: "Husband, could this Li Ju be the traitor in our family? Otherwise, why would she be able to get close to the Zhou family so quickly?"
Mu Qing, despite being the victim of the poisoning, remained calm about the matter. "Not necessarily. Ever since that incident, we've been keeping a very strict control over her. Now that she's being used by the Zhou family, it's very likely she was coerced or bribed."
Mu Qing's words calmed Hu Xin'er down a bit, but she still looked at Li Ju with an inquiring look.
Li Ju's eyes shrank and flickered. She nervously twisted her two rough hands in her cloth sleeves and refused to say a word.
Zhou Chenghe kicked her directly and said, "Tell me, how did you follow Zhao Si's instructions and frame the young ladies of Zhou and Du families?"
Li Ju seemed to be very afraid of him. After being kicked by him, she fell to her knees with a thud. Her movements were so skillful that it was frightening.
Hu Xin'er looked at her coldly, wanting to see what she could say.
As if she noticed the gaze, Li Ju lowered her head even lower, almost hitting the muddy ground.
Zhou Chenghe said in a slow but sinister tone, "Li Ju, you are an elder of the Lu family, but you were kicked out yesterday because you discovered the Lu family's secrets. Today, you must tell the truth. Don't hide the facts just because she is your old master. Otherwise, I, Master Zhou, will feel embarrassed in front of so many people."
Li Ju shivered with fear. Just as she mustered up the courage to speak the words she had rehearsed, Zhao Si finally saw her face clearly and cursed loudly, "Oh, it's you!"
Zhao Si also knows Li Ju?
Hu Xiner frowned slightly, feeling that she was increasingly confused about the direction of events.
Although this group of servants was originally brought here by Zhao Si and the human traffickers, they never had the chance to meet again after she recruited these servants.
Because the Lu family only enjoyed dividends once a month, and Zhao Si's shop was relatively far away from their house, and his business was also very busy, it was even more impossible for him to have any dealings with the Lu family's servants.
Zhao Si was a very thoughtful person. At this moment, he pointed at Hu Xin'er to help him clear his name. Seeing Hu Xin'er's face change slightly, he hurriedly explained: "Sister, don't misunderstand me. I just saw this aunt yesterday. At that time, she was beaten by her husband and wandered to the front of my shop. I gave her food out of kindness, but who knew——"
He stamped his feet in anger, pointed at Li Ju and said aggrievedly, "But who knew she would be such an ungrateful person today and bite me back."
His expression and movements at this moment were like that of a child who had been wronged, which was consistent with his appearance.
