Chapter 63: The Wife Catches an Adulterer
The guys rushed forward shouting, a cold light flashed in Shang Wan's eyes, and his figure was like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, all the guys were lying on the ground howling in pain.
The woman who was crying and covering her face was so scared that she shrank into the corner, hugging her arms and trembling.
The rice shop owner was so angry that his face turned blue. What a bunch of losers, they couldn't even beat a woman!
"Stone," Shang Wan helped Lu Chengjing clean the wound and stop the bleeding, and said coldly, "How did your brother-in-law get hurt? On him, pay him back double."
"Okay." Shitou agreed and strode towards the shopkeeper.
"How dare you! I'm the young master's man!" The shopkeeper glared at Shi Tou and threatened, "If you hurt me, the young master won't let you go!"
Shitou paused hesitantly, and Shang Wan ordered, "Do it."
Shitou didn't hesitate any longer and pounced on the shopkeeper to fight with him.
He beat him hard. The shopkeeper was old and indulged in enjoyment and neglected exercise. How could he be a match for the young man?
Shi Tou grabbed the shopkeeper's hair and slammed him hard against the sharp corner of the stone bowl. The shopkeeper howled miserably, and blood flowed from the wound on his head, covering half of his face. Where was the arrogance he had just now?
The stone remembered that there needed to be two holes, so he grabbed the shopkeeper's hair with a cold face and slammed it into the stone bowl again without blinking.
"Ah!" The shopkeeper howled as miserably as if a pig was being slaughtered. His vision went dark and more blood flowed.
If the fighting continued like this, someone would definitely die. Someone in the crowd saw that things were not going well and quickly ran to report to the police.
The onlookers were in an uproar.
"Wasn't it the one holding the baby who caused trouble to the young girl? Why is he hitting her?"
"It looks to me like the wife of the principal wife has come to catch the adulterer."
"You're making me laugh! Didn't you hear what the girl said just now? She was resting peacefully in the room when that young man broke in and did something indecent to her. Catching an adulterer has to be consensual, right?"
"But what the young master said just now makes a lot of sense. Is there any misunderstanding?"
"What misunderstanding is there? There are so many people in this world who are beasts in disguise."
The people were talking at once, saying all sorts of things. Shang Wan listened to everything and couldn't help but laugh.
The person behind this plot wants to ruin Lu Chengjing's reputation. Can he come up with a smarter way?
How could Lu Chengjing, who was so shy that he almost combusted himself when being kissed on the cheek, do such a thing?
Well, let's take a step back and say that even if he wants to, he doesn't have the conditions.
His leg injury hasn't healed yet, so we can't let Xiaohuan and Shitou carry him there, right? There's also Yuanyuan.
"I didn't." Lu Chengjing grabbed Shang Wan's sleeve, ignoring the dizziness in his head, and explained hurriedly, his face so pale that it seemed transparent.
"Okay, okay, don't get excited." Shang Wan pinched the back of his neck twice soothingly, and waited for the person to relax before saying, "I know you didn't. If you feel uncomfortable, don't say anything. I believe you."
Hearing the last three words, Lu Chengjing felt relieved, and just as he raised the corner of his lips, he fainted.
Xiaohuan exclaimed: "Sister, my brother-in-law fainted!"
"It's okay. He's weak to begin with, and he hit his head and is bleeding. It would be strange if he didn't faint." Shang Wan took away the handkerchief and found that the wound on Lu Chengjing's forehead had stopped bleeding. He thought to himself that the spiritual spring water was indeed effective.
She folded her handkerchief and put it in her sleeve. She glanced at the woman huddled in the corner and said to Xiao Huan, "Before the police arrive, tell me the whole story from beginning to end."
Xiaohuan rocked Yuanyuan, who had fallen asleep from crying herself to sleep, and whispered, "Half an hour ago, we were driving an ox cart..."
Half an hour ago, Lu Chengjing and his party drove an ox cart to East Street. Xiaohuan went to various rice shops to ask for prices and found that the prices of rice and flour were similar.
After some discussion, the three of them decided to buy it at Lu’s Rice Shop.
Lu's Rice Shop was just opposite Lufeng Rice Shop. Shitou parked the ox cart and carried Lu Chengjing off the cart. Xiaohuan was responsible for holding Yuanyuan and walked into Lu's Rice Shop.
While the clerks were loading the grain, Ge, the shopkeeper of Lufeng Rice Shop, sent someone to ask Lu Chengjing to come over, saying that he had something to discuss.
Lufeng Rice Shop was owned by the Lu family, and Shopkeeper Ge was Lu Chengyuan's man. Lu Chengjing initially thought Lu Chengyuan had something to ask him, so after a moment's thought, he agreed to go.
Lu Chengjing had difficulty walking, so Shitou and Xiaohuan were worried and naturally followed him.
Shopkeeper Ge invited Lu Chengjing to the backyard to talk, and asked the waiter to entertain Shi Tou and Xiao Huan in the compartment and prepared a lot of tea and snacks.
Xiaohuan picked up a piece of date paste cake and fed it to Yuanyuan, but Yuanyuan, who loved sweet things, turned her head away and refused to eat it.
When Xiaohuan wanted to eat it herself, Yuanyuan suddenly stretched out her little hand and knocked the date paste cake out of her hand, shaking her head at Xiaohuan.
Xiaohuan became suspicious and didn't touch the snacks. She called Shitou and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the waiter.
Shitou entangled the servants and told Xiaohuan to go to the backyard to find Lu Chengjing. On the way, someone came to stop Xiaohuan, but was scratched on the face by the orange cat that suddenly jumped out.
Yuanyuan seemed to sense something, broke free from Xiaohuan's hand, and crawled quickly towards the side room.
Xiaohuan hurriedly caught up and saw Manager Ge coming out of the side room. Just as she was about to ask Manager Ge where Lu Chengjing was, Yuanyuan rushed straight into the side room and shouted "Daddy".
Shopkeeper Ge stopped Xiaohuan from entering. The orange cat that had been scratching people ran out again, jumped up and pounced on Shopkeeper Ge's face. Xiaohuan took the opportunity to hold Yuanyuan and push the door open to go in.
There was a strange smell in the room, and some women's clothes were scattered on the floor.
Behind the screen, Lu Chengjing was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. The woman next to him had her hair loose and was wearing only a small dress. She was reaching out to untie Lu Chengjing's belt.
Seeing Xiaohuan rushing in, the woman screamed, grabbed her coat and ran out. It was too late for Xiaohuan to stop her.
The rumor spread quickly. Shi Tou came over and wanted to take Lu Chengjing away first, but it was too late.
The woman just now was the sister of Fang Bao, a clerk in the rice shop. Manager Ge said that Lu Chengjing had harmed the girl and wanted to arrest Lu Chengjing and send him to the authorities.
Of course Shitou and Xiaohuan refused. Everyone pushed and shoved, and a group of wild cats came out from nowhere and chased and scratched the people in the rice shop.
Shitou and Xiaohuan were delighted and wanted to take Lu Chengjing away, but Lu Chengjing woke up. Although his mind was still a little confused, he knew that he couldn't leave now, because if he left, the stigma would never be washed away.
Lu Chengjing proposed to confront the woman, but Shopkeeper Ge wanted to make a big deal out of it, so he asked the two to talk it out in the store, which attracted a crowd of onlookers.
Faced with Lu Chengjing's questioning, the woman did not answer, but just cried softly.
There was still a hint of spring in the woman's eyes and eyebrows, and there were several red marks on her exposed neck. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what had happened and they all blamed Lu Chengjing.
Xiao Huan and Shi Tou naturally couldn't just stand by and watch, so they tried their best to speak up for Lu Chengjing. Shopkeeper Ge had the two arrested, claiming they had destroyed the store's items, and would later send them to the authorities.
Fang Bao walked forward angrily and pushed Lu Chengjing. Shang Wan happened to see the scene when he squeezed into the crowd, and he knew everything that happened afterwards.
After Xiaohuan finished speaking, Shang Wan frowned and sighed softly.
Although this plan was not well thought out, in this world, if it was not handled properly, Lu Chengjing's reputation would be ruined.
She took back her words. Although this method was not brilliant, it was cruel enough. If the stigma was carried out, Lu Chengjing would never be able to pursue a career in the government.
