As for Zhang Yumei, the matter was not so easily resolved. After all, with Xie Zhaochi, whom Qing'er had heard outside the courtyard that afternoon, it was not easy for Zhang Yumei to escape. Furthermore, everyone present at the time saw Zhang Yumei's panic, and Zhang Yumei herself couldn't explain herself clearly. Therefore, it was already established that she was the mastermind behind this matter.
That night, when Xie Heng questioned Zhang Yumei, wanting her to explain the situation, she simply shook her head and said, "It wasn't her." She also didn't explain anything clearly.
Zhang Yumei hugged Xie Heng and said slowly: "Xie Heng, please believe me. I really didn't do this. Someone really wanted to frame me, and I really didn't know about Zhao Wenbo and Wang Xiuying. If I knew, how could I have been deceived? How could I have been so stupid as to introduce Jiang Xiufen to Zhao Wenbo?" As she spoke, Zhang Yumei felt even more aggrieved.
At this moment, Xie Zhaochi, who had been listening to the noise in the house, slowly walked into the living room, stood in front of Xie Heng and Zhang Yumei and talked about what he heard and saw in the yard that afternoon.
At this moment, after hearing what Xie Zhaochi said, Zhang Yumei's face instantly turned ugly.
"Xie Heng is not like that. He is lying. Xie Zhaochi is lying. I really didn't say that." As she spoke, the expression on Zhang Yumei's face became even more panicked.
Xie Hong looked at Zhang Yumei who was still stubborn and said quickly, "Xie Zhaochi is only a few years old. He's such a young child, and he's lying. And he's telling lies so confidently and tells all his experiences. If it were you, would you believe it? Would you think Xie Zhaochi is lying?"
And Zhao Chi has only been in the family compound for a short time. He hasn't even recognized everyone yet. What lies can he tell? What good will it do him? "
Seeing that Zhang Yumei was still stubborn, Xie Heng spoke to Xie Zhaochi again and asked him to repeat what he had just said.
After Xie Zhaochi heard what Xie Heng said, he seemed not to notice the expressions on the two people's faces and repeated himself, "Dad, that afternoon I saw with my own eyes a sister come to our house, and she was looking for Aunt Yumei. I was standing in the yard playing at the time, and I clearly heard what Aunt Yumei and the sister said in the house. They talked about Doctor Zhao and how he and Wang Xiuying had separated a long time ago and that they had no relationship at all.
Aunt Yumei was still talking to the other woman, saying that this was such a great opportunity and that we couldn't let it go. I didn't catch what she said after that, but I did hear that the woman agreed to stay with Aunt Yumei until the end, and then she left our home.
But after that sister left, Aunt Yumei just stayed in the house and smiled. She didn't go to the kitchen to cook or eat. She just sat in the living room, thinking about things and smiling. I wonder what she was thinking about?
However, Aunt Yumei suddenly said something while she was cooking. "Jiang Xiufen, I wonder how you can fight me this time. From now on, your reputation will be ruined, and you can only go back to your hometown and marry a peasant." As she said that, Xie Zhaochi saw Xie Heng's face turn ugly. Xie Zhaochi quickly shut up, stood aside, and continued to watch the scene.
Some of these words were true and some were lies. After all, when Jiang Xiufen left, Xie Zhaochi immediately found Jiang Xiufen.
Originally, Xie Zhaochi wanted to tell Jiang Xiufen not to believe what his stepmother said, but after he finished speaking, Xie Zhaochi saw with his own eyes the surprise and confusion on Jiang Xiufen's face.
Xie Zhaochi used some tricks and words to get information out of Jiang Xiufen. After that incident happened, Xie Zhaochi slowly deduced the whole story. He knew that Jiang Xiufen had never believed what Zhang Yumei said. She was setting a trap for Zhang Yumei, and she was willing to be the last step in this trap to completely overwhelm Zhang Yumei.
After hearing what Xie Zhaochi said, Zhang Yumei quickly shook her head and said, "No, I didn't, Xie Heng, I really didn't. Don't listen to this kid's nonsense.
Xie Heng, think about it carefully. I gave up my job for you. I was willing to take care of the children and clean the house at home for you. I did so much for you. How could I possibly damage my reputation and hurt you at such a critical moment?
So it really wasn't me. I really didn't know anything about Wang Xiuying and Zhao Wenbo, and I didn't introduce Jiang Xiuying to Zhao Wenbo. If it weren't for the last time our Zhao Rui fell ill, I wouldn't even know Zhao Wenbo.
Xie Heng, believe me, I can swear. Although I have been with Sister Da Mi for a long time, I really don't know. After all, this is someone else's family matter, and I didn't feel comfortable asking. "
Xie Heng looked at Zhang Yumei crying in front of him and felt disgusted. He wondered why Zhang Yumei was becoming more and more hypocritical. Obviously, Zhang Yumei was not like this before. She was considerate of him and gentle and considerate at home.
Looking at Zhang Yumei's face, Xie Heng was actually worried about Jiang Xiufen. He was worried that Jiang Xiufen was still crying, worried that Jiang Xiufen would really be driven back to her hometown by her sister and brother-in-law, and worried that Jiang Xiufen would not be able to continue living in the family compound in the future and would be laughed at.
Xie Heng looked at Zhang Yumei, whose face was covered in tears and snot, and sighed. In the end, for the sake of their four children, he stopped arguing with her. But he also didn't listen to Zhang Yumei's explanation. After all, in his heart, this matter had already put Zhang Yumei in a death row.
Even if Zhang Yumei didn't do this, who made Zhang Yumei so unlucky that she appeared at the scene and became the sinner in everyone's mouth?
Besides, Xie Heng was too busy worrying about this matter to even consider Zhang Yumei's involvement. Besides worrying about Jiang Xiufen's safety, he was also dreading the upcoming martial arts competition. After all, the incident had become so publicized that everyone in the hospital and the family compound knew about it. Xie Heng was truly terrified that someone would sue him during the competition, or that Wang Degui would directly target his character and family background, which would make his chances of competing in the competition even more difficult.
