Chapter 64 The person who is more terrifying than Zhou Jibai is Zhou Jibai’s wife
Shi Huai had completely restored the original work. When she learned that Zhou Jibai was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall again for helping her keep the secret, her heart was clenched with guilt and she wanted to tell the old lady the whole story.
But the response she got was that the old lady had gone to bed and was not seeing anyone. She did not even enter the door of the old lady's house.
Seeing that the old lady's approach didn't work, she hurried to the ancestral hall.
There were many bodyguards surrounding the ancestral hall, all of whom were there to prevent Zhou Jibai from sneaking out.
As soon as Shi Huai walked into the entrance of the ancestral hall, he was blocked by rows of bodyguards.
"Second Young Madam, the old lady has specifically instructed that even if you come this time, you cannot see the Second Master."
Shi Huai took a deep breath and clenched his fists slightly, "Who said I came to see him?"
"And you?"
"I'm here to kneel as punishment." Shi Huai spoke solemnly, his eyes frank, without a trace of guilt or evasion.
Who in the entire Yunding Manor didn't know that the Second Young Madam was still pregnant? Even the most powerful old lady wouldn't let the pregnant Second Young Madam kneel in the ancestral hall.
The reason the second master of the Zhou family was punished to kneel this time was because he stole the painting "Spring Mountain with Birds on the Branches" which old lady Zhou cherished as her life.
"Second Young Madam, we know you're eager to protect your husband. But you're pregnant now. If we let you in to keep the Second Master company, we won't be able to bear the consequences if the old lady blames us."
Shi Huai remained calm in the face of danger: "The painting 'Birds on the Branches of Trees in Spring Mountains' was not stolen by Zhou Jibai. I am the real instigator behind it."
"W-what?"
Why would the Second Young Lady have such a free time as to steal the old lady's "Spring Mountain, Birds on Branches"? The Second Young Master said he had hired a master to restore it, and in a moment of impatience, he stole it without the old lady's consent. That's understandable.
But it makes absolutely no sense for the Second Young Lady to take this painting!
Shi Huai: "If you don't believe me, you can come with me to the study to see the original painting."
But the bodyguards did not want to listen to Sui Shihuai's opinion and kept their heads down in silence.
Shi Huai: ...
She originally wanted to be reasonable.
Suddenly, Shi Huai bent over and covered his stomach with a look of pain. "If you don't let me in, I will tell grandma. You didn't let me in and pushed me to the ground!"
Although Shi Huai would not actually do this, some things still need to be obtained through fraud and rogue means.
When the bodyguards heard Shi Huai's words, their faces turned pale: "Young Madam, you can't be so dishonest!"
Shi Huai raised his chin and said with a straight face, "I have no morals."
Bodyguards: ...
It's true that two different people can sleep in the same bed.
Shi Huai took two more steps forward and stood in front of a lucky bodyguard. The bodyguard thought Shi Huai was trying to scam him, so he reached out and gently pushed Shi Huai away, trying to distance the two of them.
As a result, as soon as his hand touched Shihuai's wrist, the next moment Shihuai started crying out in pain!
"My stomach aches, my stomach aches!"
Her acting was full of flaws. Anyone who saw it could tell that Shi Huai was putting on a show. She wanted them to let her pass so that she could find Zhou Jibai.
But what if Shi Huai lied and made a complaint, or even exaggerated the situation? None of the dozens of bodyguards outside dared to take the risk.
The bodyguards blocking the door hesitated for a long time, swallowed their saliva, and with a gloomy face, they finally chose to make way for Shi Huai and open the door.
After achieving his goal, Shi Huai curled his lips into a triumphant smile, his eyes narrowed into slits: "Thank you, brothers."
The bodyguards were scattered in the wind: ...
The person who is even more terrifying than Zhou Jibai is Zhou Jibai’s wife.

I had some family matters to attend to, so I've been running around all day. The 38-degree sun has been beating down non-stop, and I'm starting to feel a bit like I'm getting a heat stroke.
I'm feeling dizzy and nauseous, so I've had to take today off. Please forgive me, girls! I'll resume normal updates tomorrow!
