Lu Yan's question sounded harmless, but Old Lady Gu broke out in a cold sweat.
Their purpose was almost exposed.
For a moment, Mrs. Gu's face looked extremely ugly.
She bit her lower lip tightly, preventing her from pointing at Lu Yan's nose and cursing. But at this moment, Song Jiao'e also slowly woke up.
"mother……"
When Song Jiao'e opened her eyes, she saw Old Mrs. Gu standing beside the bed.
I want to complain to Old Lady Gu and tell her what happened last night.
However, when his eyes met the faces of the villagers behind him, his words stopped abruptly.
"I've never seen anyone so biased."
Aunt Chen next to them also watched the excitement for a while.
He immediately spoke up: "This second daughter-in-law has been caught cheating on someone, and she still wants to throw dirty water on the fifth daughter-in-law?"
"Then who knows what's going on?" Old Lady Xue, who was standing nearby, saw the scene and immediately started to put the blame on Lu Yan: "Didn't they say that the fifth son's wife wasn't home yesterday? Maybe she wasn't in Zhang Youfu's bed, but someone else's?"
Old Mrs. Xue had wanted to take advantage of Lu Yan selling wild boars before.
Isn't it because you didn't get what you wanted that you've been holding a grudge?
His words were even more harsh.
Just as she finished speaking, a voice came from behind the crowd: "Who said my wife wasn't home last night?"
As he spoke, Gu Linbei was already standing beside the crowd.
When Old Mrs. Gu saw Gu Linbei, her face turned pale.
According to their plan, the amount of drugs yesterday would have been enough for Gu Linbei to sleep until noon.
By that time, Lu Yan's reputation was completely ruined.
But Mrs. Gu certainly couldn't have imagined that Gu Linbei had woken up that morning. And when he went to bed yesterday, Lu Yan was beside him. This made Gu Linbei a complete witness against Lu Yan.
"Mom, my second sister-in-law has been caught in bed with her husband..." Gu Linbei stood in the crowd and hooked his fingers around Lu Yan's hand.
After saying this, he almost looked away.
There was only Lu Yan left in his eyes.
Old Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth and looked at her daughters-in-law: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take the second son's wife back."
Old Mrs. Gu secretly wanted to keep things quiet.
But it was too late.
"What's going on?" A majestic voice came from outside the yard.
It was Old Man Gu, Village Chief Zhou and others.
Old Man Gu was waiting for Old Man Gu to come back and tell him the news early this morning, but there was no news.
Old Man Gu didn't want to miss the plan, so he asked Old Lady Gu to go to Lu Yan's room.
Therefore, when he didn't see Gu Laoer, he went to ask the village chief himself.
I have to say that Old Man Gu knows how to make family disgrace known to the public.
"Village Chief, it's the Gu family's second son's wife and Zhang Youfu..."
An aunt in the crowd spoke.
Upon hearing this, Old Man Gu was stunned.
However, he still didn't give up: "You are wrong, right? It was the fifth brother's wife who didn't come home all night..."
"Mom, you have to make the decision for me! It's Lu Yan, it's all Lu Yan..."
Song Jiaojiao was now completely awake.
Seeing her innocence completely destroyed, Song Jiao'e almost died of anger.
But it had already happened, and there was nothing she could do.
At this time, the only thing he could do was to drag Lu Yan down with him.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Seeing this family like this, the village head's wife couldn't help it.
She looked at Song Jiao'e with disdain: "You and Zhang Youfu are not clear about each other, and you still want to throw dirty water on your own sister-in-law?"
Zhang Youfu has been awake the whole time.
Hearing the village head's wife's words, he immediately proved his innocence: "Village head, this is not my fault. She was the one who seduced me. Otherwise, how could there be someone else in my own bed when I was sleeping there?"
As soon as Zhang Youfu said this, Song Jiao'e's eyes widened in disbelief.
Isn't this what she taught Zhang Youfu to do about Lu Yan?
How come it was used directly on me?
Song Jiao'e would never have thought that Zhang Youfu had already given up.
They've already been caught in bed, why would they still want to erect a chastity arch?
"You...you're not, mother..."
Song Jiao'e subconsciously rushed over and pulled at Old Lady Gu's trouser legs, not even caring about falling off the bed.
Looking at her like this, Old Mrs. Gu didn't know why she, who should have been angry, felt only distressed.
Not only her, even Gu Laosi who had just arrived had the same reaction.
"Mom, there must be a misunderstanding." Gu Lao Er said without hesitation: "Jiao'e is not that kind of person. She must have been framed."
Gu Laoer spoke in an extremely urgent manner.
Originally, everyone looked at him with pity.
Now, everyone looked at him as if he was mentally retarded.
It's really hard to sympathize with someone who asks for a green hat.
"Lu Yan, what did you do to Jiao'e? I won't let you go..." Gu Laoer was completely overwhelmed at this moment, looking at Lu Yan with anger on his face.
How did things turn out like this?
He really couldn't figure it out.
Hearing this, Lu Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
A pair of dark eyes were filled with teasing: "Second brother, what did you say? I was sleeping peacefully at home, how could it be me who did it? You old Gu family are really going too far."
After saying this, a voice came from the crowd.
"That's too much. It's really too much."
The person who spoke this time was Village Chief Zhou.
Xiaohe Village has two major surnames, Gu and Zhou. Logically speaking, the affairs of the Gu family should not be the responsibility of Village Chief Zhou.
However, after hearing the groundless accusations from the Gu family, and thinking back to Lu Yan's crying face and the sudden fall of the tree yesterday, the village chief felt that he could no longer ignore it.
"Village Chief, what are you doing..."
After all, Gu Laoer was going to take the imperial examination, so he was still very respectful to Village Chief Zhou.
"Divide the family." Village chief Zhou said this almost with gritted teeth.
Gu Linbei and Zhou Hao are about the same age, so Village Chief Zhou can be said to have watched Gu Linbei grow up.
I used to think that this child was sensible and that Mr. Gu had brought him up well.
Now it seems that good bamboo shoots have grown out of bad bamboo.
"Go and invite the elders of the Gu family now, and I will preside over the division of the family for you."
Village chief Zhou couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
However, when Old Man Gu heard the words "divide the family", his brows immediately furrowed.
If Lu Yan's reputation was ruined and his money was lost today, he would definitely be happy to split the family business.
But now, there is nothing yet.
How can we split the family?
Old Man Gu subconsciously wanted to refute, but Lu Yan spoke up instead: "Thank you very much, Uncle Village Chief. After all, from what my second sister-in-law said, it seems that the person lying in Zhang Youfu's bed is me. I'm really afraid that if I stay in this house, I won't be able to sleep at all."
Lu Yan's words had other implications.
Old Man Gu and others wanted to refute, but if they really refuted, wouldn’t that be a case of trying to cover up one’s own faults?
