Chapter 20 Absurdity



"Ah! I'm going to kill you!"

The shopkeeper started fighting with a handsome pretty boy, and the shopkeeper chopped at the pretty boy with a butcher knife in his hand.

In a flash, a figure in light clothes rushed over, grabbed the shopkeeper's wrist fiercely, and forced the knife to fall to the ground.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes widened, and they all said, "Oh, isn't this the Dali Temple Minister's son, the new top scholar Cheng Shaoyuan?"

"Yeah, how come he is here? He is so handsome, and I didn't expect he is so skilled."

Gu Yunru heard all these words and snorted with disdain.

"Calm down, boss. There are so many people here. Aren't you afraid that the government will come to arrest you?"

Cheng Shaoyuan looked at the shopkeeper and said calmly.

"I'm not afraid of death, so why would I be afraid of that pretty boy?"

Qing Xing looked at the chaos in the teahouse, and cautiously approached Gu Yunru and said, "Miss, let's leave this place quickly."

"Why are you in such a hurry? The fun isn't over yet."

It's a rare opportunity to join in the fun, so Gu Yunru naturally wouldn't miss this chance.

Qingxing stuck out her tongue and had to stand behind her obediently.

"What on earth is going on?"

Cheng Shaoyuan looked very concerned, and it seemed that he would take care of this matter.

At this moment, a woman came out from the backyard crying, her hair was a mess and there were two dark circles under her eyes. She grabbed the shopkeeper's hand and said sadly, "My husband, I really didn't do anything to let you down! You have to believe me, my husband."

Gu Yunru, standing aside, understood what was going on. It turned out that the pretty boy and the shopkeeper's wife worked in the same fish restaurant. There was a famine in his hometown, so the pretty boy came to the teahouse to do odd jobs for the two of them. Over time, people spread the rumor that he and the shopkeeper's wife had something shameful going on.

Looking at the expression of the shopkeeper's wife, who looked extremely sad, Gu Yunru concluded that the woman was not lying, as her eyes were filled with helplessness and pain.

"You still dare to say that you have never done anything to offend me? People have come to your door to find you!"

The pretty boy lowered his head, his face bruised and swollen from being beaten, but he still seemed to insist that he had indeed had an affair with the shopkeeper's wife, and even the newborn child was his. He came here this time just to blackmail the shopkeeper.

"Husband, I really don't know why Hu San said that, but what he said is not true, you have to believe me!"

The young woman was heartbroken and cried like a pear blossom in the rain, which made people feel sympathy for her. The shopkeeper was so angry that his veins popped out and he swept her hand away and pushed it aside.

The little woman staggered and fell to one side, but she found a woman in white clothes behind her who helped her up.

"Thank you, girl."

Gu Yunru smiled and said, "You're welcome. Boss, this is your wife who gave birth to your children. Why do you treat her like this?"

"She is so unfaithful and has no sense of self-discipline. I have long wanted to divorce her with a letter of divorce. Now she has put such a big green hat on me. I want to kill this adulterous couple!"

The shopkeeper became more and more angry as he spoke, his eyes were bloodshot, but with Cheng Shaoyuan standing in front of him, he didn't dare to do anything else.

"Boss, you would rather listen to an outsider than trust my wife. This is too much."

Gu Yunru wanted to help the woman vent her anger, but the pretty boy straightened his chest and said to Gu Yunru: "Where did you come from, little girl? What do you know? This teahouse should belong to me. I just came back to take back what belongs to me!"

"You are talking nonsense, Hu San. Why are you trying to hurt me?" The woman was in so much pain that her eyes were already blurred with tears. A woman's innocence and reputation were her top priority. Gu Yunru patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will seek justice for you."

"Okay, if you want to talk, go to the government office."

Cheng Shaoyuan, who had never spoken before, spoke at this time. He wanted to take this group of people to the government office for interrogation, but Gu Yunru appeared in front of him and interrupted him, "Such a small matter does not need to be brought to the government office, and I believe that everything this woman said is true."

"Oh? You don't know her at all, and you just met her for the first time today. What makes you trust her?"

"Can I rely on my intuition? Without further ado, let's do a blood test. Since Hu San insists that the child is his, we can only see if the blood of these two people is compatible."

If Hu San's lies were exposed, the charge of extortion could be confirmed. Cheng Shaoyuan stood there expressionless, looking at Gu Yunru's every move curiously. It seemed that this girl was not that simple.

Gu Yunru walked to the woman's side and asked for her opinion. The woman's mind was already gray and she couldn't come up with any ideas, so she had to let her do it.

Hu San looked down with a guilty look in his eyes, touching his nose from time to time. Gu Yunru walked towards him with a smile and said slowly, "You should know about blood test to identify relatives. Although you are from the countryside, you should have heard of it. If the blood can completely mix, then they are biological father and son. If the blood cannot mix, then it means there is no relationship. Since you insist on having an affair with this woman, then this is the time to prove her innocence."

Hu San's hands and feet trembled when he heard her words, and he refused to bleed no matter what. Cheng Shaoyuan could see the cunning look in Hu San's eyes, so he pulled his hand and inserted the silver needle into his finger.

Before the blood was even in the bowl, Hu San was howling in pain, his face wrinkled into a ball, and he quickly said, "I was just talking nonsense, I made it all up, Qiuyue and I had nothing to do with each other, I was greedy, I made it up, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"

After hearing what he said, the shopkeeper's frown slowly relaxed, and he walked up to him, grabbed his collar and said, "Why did you do this? My husband and I invited you to eat and drink here, and you turned your kindness into enmity!"

"It's my fault... It's all my fault. I just wanted to cheat you guys out of some money. Recently, the debt collectors have been staring at me. I had no choice but to resort to this last resort. Qiuyue, please don't blame me. We are from the same hometown after all!"

"Now I know we are from the same hometown." The woman named Qiuyue stood up and glared at him fiercely.

Gu Yunru clapped his hands and said, "Well, now the truth is finally out. Master Cheng can arrest Hu San and put him in jail for a few days. Maybe he can be kept safe for the next few days."

Hu San nodded his head in a flurry, and said to Gu Yunru with gratitude, "Miss, you are right, young master, please be kind and put me in jail!"
