What?
Zhou's mother was completely bewildered, unable to understand what the clan elders were saying.
Just then, Zhou's father returned home and saw a group of people gathered in front of his house from afar. His eyelids twitched.
You know, recently there have been people watching their family's antics from their doorsteps time and time again. His first reaction was that Yuan Zhao was up to something again, but when he got closer, he found that it was a group of elders from the group.
Mr. Zhou frowned and stepped forward, saying:
"Uncles and elders, what's going on?"
Upon his return, one of the clan elders said directly:
“Your wife has done something terrible; our Zhou family has lost all face.”
"Don't make false accusations. What did I do?"
Zhou's mother finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but yell.
"You still dare to argue!"
The elder angrily threw a piece of clothing at Zhou's mother:
"Look, isn't this yours?"
Zhou's mother was hit in the face with the clothes. She angrily took them away, and then her expression changed.
How did this end up with you?
These are naturally her clothes, made of the finest silk gauze, which she gave to Yuan Zhao just yesterday.
"You admit it?"
"You shameless slut."
The elder spoke without any politeness.
The Zhou family is a large family, but only Zhou's father's side has achieved success.
Previously, Zhou's father was very cold to them, and Zhou's mother even called them poor devils and said they came to their door to freeload.
Later, Zhou's father was stripped of his title of Marquis, and they were implicated as well.
Now, news of what Zhou's mother did has spread throughout the streets and alleys, and they have also been implicated. The thought that it would be difficult for the daughters of the clan to get married and for the men to find spouses in the future fills them with unforgivable rage.
With both old and new grudges combined, they spoke without any politeness.
"You shameless woman, how dare you have an affair with another man!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Zhou's mother panicked. What kind of crime was it to have an affair with an outsider?
If word gets out, not only will her position as the Marquis's wife be in jeopardy, but she'll also be too ashamed to show her face in public.
"I'm talking nonsense? Everyone knows now!"
"Not only are your outer clothes in someone else's hands, but even your underwear is..."
The elder could no longer continue, his face filled with anger.
Upon hearing these words, Mr. Zhou's expression instantly changed, and he looked coldly at Mrs. Zhou:
"What exactly happened?"
At first he didn't believe it, but their story was so convincing and dramatic, and then he thought about how he hadn't been home for three years...
Thinking of this, Zhou's father's face grew even more grim.
Zhou's mother panicked completely:
"My lord, my lord, I am innocent! How could I have done such a thing?"
"It's Yuan Zhao, it's her!"
“I gave her this dress; she’s wronged me.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou's father managed to calm himself down for a moment, then had the clan elders invited inside, and then sent someone to invite Yuan Zhao.
Yuan Zhao was having his meal when he heard Zhou's father summon him. He calmly replied:
"No rush, let me finish my breakfast first!"
The servant could only go back and report the truth. Upon hearing Yuan Zhao's words, Zhou's father slammed his fist on the table.
"Shiyuan, go and invite them yourself!"
"yes!"
Zhou Shiyuan's face turned cold; at this moment, he wished he could strangle Yuan Zhao to death.
She actually dared to slander her own mother's reputation; she's really asking for it.
He was about to go find Yuan Zhao when Yuan Zhao arrived.
"No need, Lord Marquis, Young Master, Yuan Zhao is here."
As Yuan Zhao spoke, he bowed to Zhou's father:
"Please don't blame me, Your Excellency. You know that my health is not good. If I don't finish my breakfast, I might faint again. If word gets out, it will damage the reputation of the Marquis's mansion!"
Her words silenced Zhou's father's impending question. He stared at her for a moment, suppressing his anger, and then said:
"I called you here today because I have something to ask you."
"Are these clothes familiar to you?"
