"Zhou Siyun felt she had to teach Su Xingran and Comrade Xiao Xue a lesson, so she conspired with Zhu Yan to find some thugs on the street, had them kidnap the two women, and then had them ruin their reputations."
"Comrade Zhou, matters of the heart cannot be a reason for a person to commit a crime. Besides, the marriage of Gu Moting, the eldest son of the Gu family, is known to all the prominent families in Beijing, and your Zhou family certainly knows as well. The eldest son of the Gu family willingly married his wife, so there is no question of whether or not he should have fought over her."
"As for Comrade Su Xingran, the leader of the Huang family said she is his sister. That's the situation with Comrade Zhou. I have other work to attend to now."
The policeman didn't tell Zhou Liren that the matter could be settled privately if the victim expressed their forgiveness. Recalling Chief Huang's expression that night, he knew there was no possibility of forgiveness.
Zhou Renli hurried home with heavy steps, unsure if he could save Zhou Siyun. The child was usually spoiled and arrogant, but he never imagined she could do something like this behind his back.
None of the Zhou family members left the house; they all sat in the living room waiting for news. When Zhou Renli returned home and saw his large family, he didn't know how to begin.
"Renli, have you found out anything? What happened?" Old Master Zhou was eager to know.
“Father, I asked her, and Siyun confessed. According to her statement, she believes that Mo Ting married a woman who was not her cousin Du Juan, and that Mo Ting’s wife stole him away.”
"Siyun wants to teach Moting's wife a lesson. There's also another girl who thinks someone else is trying to steal Moli away. Dad, do you remember the bridesmaid who was with Moting's wife on his wedding day?"
Grandpa Zhou frowned, recalling the events of Gu Moting's wedding day. He remembered that when Moting was toasting with his wife, Mo Li and a very pretty but young-looking girl were with them.
"I remember now, it was when Mo Ting came over with his wife to offer a toast, followed by Mo Li and that girl. What's going on? What does that girl have to do with this?"
Zhou Renli gave a wry smile. "Father, do you know who she is? I just learned from the police that Huang Taihe said that girl is his sister. Father, do you remember the rumors circulating recently? That Uncle Huang has taken on a female apprentice."
"That girl was the bridesmaid, and also one of the girls that Siyun hired to murder. According to the rumors, Uncle Huang doted on this apprentice very much, and that apprentice got into Peking University and was the top liberal arts student."
"Father, as you know, Uncle Huang and Aunt Gu were highly sought-after masters by the children of powerful and wealthy families in Beijing. But the couple refused to accept any of them. Later, Aunt Gu passed away, and Uncle Huang disappeared from Beijing. Now he's back, and he's brought back a disciple with him. Do you think those rumors are true?"
Old Master Zhou and his second son, Zhou Renyi, grew increasingly grim. "Brother, this is a difficult matter to handle. Let's not even talk about the Huang family. The Gu family is also in trouble. Siyun is trying to harm the Gu family's eldest daughter-in-law. She's aiming to ruin her reputation. Isn't that just putting a green hat on Mo Ting?"
"Mo Ting's marriage has only been going on for a little over a week. Do you think the Gu family will let it go easily? Or will Mo Ting let it go once he finds out? Over the years, have you ever seen him associate with any daughters in Beijing? He's almost thirty when he finally married this woman, who is five or six years younger than him."
Zhou Renyi's words struck a heavy blow to the hearts of Old Master Zhou and Zhou Renli. For a moment, the entire Zhou family fell silent.
