Zhao Xin raised her head suddenly. She didn't know when two men appeared quietly in the study. She clearly closed the door, so why was there no sound at all?

Zhang Kaiping and Shen Jiming...why did they appear in Pei's house?

The person holding Zhao Xin's hand was Zhang Kaiping. Zhao Xin wanted to shake his hand off, but she couldn't struggle. She roared in a low voice: "Let me go!"

Zhang Kaiping sneered: "The fox's tail is finally exposed, right?"

Zhao Xin argued, "I don't understand what you are talking about. The door of the study was not closed just now, so I came in to take a look out of curiosity. But you said that I was showing my true colors. Who are you? Why are you here?"

Shen Jiming leaned against the door with his arms folded across his chest. He chuckled when he heard Zhao Xin's words: "Aunt Zhao, we were already at Pei's house before you came, you just didn't know it. You said you came in curiously because you saw the study was not closed, but how did we see you knock out Grandma Wu and sneak into the study to look for something?"

"You don't have to deny it. Your words 'I came in out of curiosity' are untenable. This is a military compound. The study rooms of the leaders are not places that you can just walk into. You have been married to Uncle Song for many years, so you must understand this. Moreover, we saw you rummaging around as soon as you entered the room, so it is natural for us to suspect you."

Outside the door, Jiang Yu helped Wu's mother up from the ground and pinched her philtrum. After a while, Wu's mother woke up and covered her head, saying, "What happened to me? Did I fall asleep?"

"Grandma Wu, you were knocked unconscious." Jiang Yu helped her up.

"Fainted? Hiss..." Mother Wu rubbed her neck and muttered, "Why does my neck hurt so much? Who the hell knocked me out?"

At this time, the door of the study opened, and Shen Jiming, Zhang Kaiping and Zhao Xin walked out of the study.

Mother Wu was startled and quickly walked to the stairs and shouted downstairs: "Nong Nong, come quickly, something big has happened."

The sound reached downstairs. Lu Nong and the others downstairs heard Mother Wu's call and hurried upstairs. Lu Nong didn't know what had happened. She expected that Zhao Xin would definitely do something, but thinking that there were three men secretly protecting the family, Lu Nong was not too worried.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong.

The others looked at each other and followed Lu Nong upstairs. It turned out that there were not only Mother Wu and Zhao Xin upstairs, but also Zhang Kaiping, Jiang Yu and Shen Jiming. Jiang Yu was supporting Mother Wu, while Zhang Kaiping, Shen Jiming and Zhao Xin were standing in the study. Zhang Kaiping was holding Zhao Xin's wrist with one hand and holding a file bag in the other.

Lu Nong walked quickly to Wu's mother's side, carefully checked her condition, and asked worriedly, "Mom, are you okay?"

"Nongnong, I'm fine. I just got knocked unconscious by someone, and I'm still a little dizzy." Mother Wu said weakly, covering her head.

Sister Zheng frowned and asked Zhang Kaiping and the other two, "What's going on? Why are you three here? Who knocked Aunt Wu unconscious?"

"She was the one who knocked Grandma Wu unconscious," Zhang Kaiping said, holding up Zhao Xin's wrist. "She also ran into Uncle Pei's study to steal something and was caught by us."

Lu Nong testified for Zhang Kaiping and the other two at the right time: "Sister, the three of them have been here a long time ago and have been playing with my little Huai on the second floor."

"I didn't," Zhao Xin shook her head with tears in her eyes, looking speechless, "I only saw Zhang Kaiping and the other two suddenly appear and knocked Mother Wu unconscious from behind. Before I could react, they covered my mouth and dragged me into the study..."

"Oh my God!" Huo Xiaoling's eyes widened in disbelief. "Does this mean that the three of them are going to do something indecent to Xiao Zhao?"

When Zhao Xin heard what Huo Xiaoling said, her body shuddered and her tears flowed even harder.

"You! You are talking nonsense. It was clearly you who knocked Mother Wu unconscious and sneaked into the study to rummage through things. We caught you and the things you stole are still here." Zhang Kaiping let go of Zhao Xin's wrist. He didn't expect that Zhao Xin not only turned the tables on him, but also framed them in such a vicious way.

"Bullshit! I'll tear you to pieces, you little bastard with a mouth full of shit." Sister Cui couldn't bear to hear others slandering her son, so she rushed in front of Zhao Xin and Cui Xiaoling and was ready to fight them to the death. She knew her own son well and knew that he would never do the beastly thing that Zhao Xin mentioned.

Sister Zheng stopped Sister Qin and said, "Stop it. You can't hit anyone no matter what."

"Then let them slander my son?" Sister Qin shouted back.

Jiang Yu's biological mother Li Lingyi also glared at Zhao Xin very angrily, her chest felt stuffy and she was breathing heavily. She turned her gaze to her son Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu shook his head at her, and Li Lingyi became even angrier.

"It's not certain whether it's slander or not." The woman with triangular eyes said sarcastically.

A chill ran through Lu Nong's heart. Zhao Xin was too vicious and too daring.

Her scheme obviously hurts her own side while hurting the enemy. Slandering Zhang Kaiping and the other two will incur the wrath of the Zhang, Jiang, and Shen families, who will fight her to the death in the future.

But if the matter is not investigated clearly today, even if there is a little ambiguity, and Zhao Xin's people are present, they may go out and reveal a few words to others. Even if there is no evidence, Zhang Kaiping and others will be branded as rapists, and their future will be ruined.

Lu Nong's expression changed. "You said that the three of them wanted to hurt you, but why are your hair neat and your clothes tidy?"

Presumably, Zhao Xinpo came up with the basin of dirty water in a hurry in response to Mrs. Zheng's questioning, and she didn't have time to think about the details of her hair and clothes.

The others looked at Zhao Xin. Yes, if she was forced, why was she clean and pure, without even a wrinkle on her clothes?

Sister Qin questioned Zhao Xin in a stern voice, "Yes! Tell me, other than the tears you shed, what else about your body looks like you've been hurt?"

Zhao Xin clenched his fists. "I... they hadn't arrived yet. Aunt Wu woke up, and Zhang Kaiping hurriedly took out a document from Chief Pei's drawer and stuffed it into my hand, accusing me of stealing something... and then you came up."

After saying this, Zhao Xin lowered his head and sobbed.

Huo Xiaoling couldn't bear it, so she walked over and held Zhao Xin in her arms. She glared at Zhang Kaiping fiercely and patted Zhao Xin's back gently, "Don't cry, Sister-in-law Zheng will give you justice. None of these three beasts will get away!"

Sister Qin turned her angry gaze towards Huo Xiaoling. Li Lingyi also narrowed her eyes. This Huo Xiaoling really didn't know what she was talking about.

Lu Nong slowly chewed over Zhao Xin's words, and suddenly discovered a fatal problem in her words. She slowly said, "You said my mother woke up on her own, but she didn't."

Lu Nong moved aside, exposing Mother Wu to everyone's sight. They saw an obvious pinch mark on the philtrum under Mother Wu's nose, which meant that Mother Wu was indeed pinched awake by someone.

"Yes, I was woken up by Xiao Jiang, and he told me that I was knocked unconscious," Mother Wu nodded repeatedly.

Everyone looked suspicious. If Wu's mother was woken up by Jiang Yu, then it would contradict what Zhao Xin said. Logically speaking, since Zhang Kaiping and the other two had knocked Wu's mother unconscious and wanted to harm Zhao Xin, why did Jiang Yu wake Wu's mother up?

If they wake up Mother Wu, their evil deeds will be exposed.

Mother Wu slapped her thigh and said "ouch!", as if she had thought of something, and then said, "It's impossible for the three of them to hurt anyone. Zhao Xin and I went upstairs together, and just as I turned the corner, someone knocked me out from behind. The rooms are all in the front. There's not much room here, how could three grown men hide? It must have been Zhao Xin who knocked me out."

Zhao Xin's expression twisted for a moment, and she forced herself to return to normal after a moment. Just now, she, Zhang Kaiping and Shen Jiming were in the study room and did not notice that Mother Wu was woken up by Jiang Yu.

But she reacted very quickly and immediately changed her words, saying, "I was wrong. I don't know how Aunt Wu woke up. After the three of them dragged me into the study, Jiang Yu went out alone. I think he felt guilty... That's how he woke up Aunt Wu."

Sister Qin sneered, "You've said everything. Earlier you said that three of them cheated on you, and now it's changed to two of them cheating on you. Are you going to change it to just one person next time?"

Huo Xiaoling looked at Zhao Xin, who was still crying with her head down, and then looked at Sister Qin, who was filled with indignation. For the first time, a look of hesitation appeared on her face.

"Actually, it's very simple to know the truth of the matter. There is someone who can prove it." Shen Jiming suddenly said.

Sister Zheng asked, "Who? Is there anyone else at the scene?"

"he."

Everyone looked in the direction Shen Jiming pointed, and saw behind them, in the room at the end of the corridor, a little head poking out of the door, staring at everyone with big eyes, with a little white dog lying at its feet.

Shen Jiming said calmly, "Sister Lu Nong also said that we are here to appease Xiao Huai. Xiao Huai saw everything that happened just now. Children will not lie. Let him tell everyone who is lying."

Triangle Eyes is now half-believing and half-doubting Zhao Xin. Although she is powerful and mean and likes to gossip about others, whether it is raping a woman or framing three children to rape herself, these two things are too vicious and she cannot bear it.

The woman with the triangular eyes secretly didn't want Zhao Xin to be a bad person, so she said, "How can you take a child's words seriously? How can he speak clearly at such a young age? Besides, there's no guarantee that you can trick him into telling lies."

"Auntie Su, whether Xiao Huai can explain it clearly or not, can't we just let him explain it and see if it's proven?"

"We had to knock Mother Wu unconscious, take Zhao Xin to the study, wake Mother Wu up, and trick Xiao Huai into telling a lie. We did so many things in just ten minutes. Do you think we are gods?"

The woman with triangular eyes choked, took one last look at Zhao Xin, and said nothing more.

Lu Nong pursed her lips. As a mother, she selfishly didn't want her child to be involved in such things, so when she let Zhao Xin in, she asked Zhang Kaiping to ask one of them to stay in Xiao Huai's room to accompany Xiao Huai.

But if this matter is as Shen Jiming said, and Zizi saw it from beginning to end, then only Xiaohuai can explain it clearly. She took a breath and waved to Xiaohuai, "Xiaohuai, come here, come to mommy."

After hearing this, Xiao Huai nodded vigorously, ran to Lu Nong and hugged Lu Nong's calf.

Lu Nong held her belly and squatted down, "Xiao Huai baby, mommy wants to ask you, was the baby there just now?"

The cub nodded.

"Then who did you see woke up Grandma Wu?" Lu Nong continued to ask softly.

The boy raised his head, searched among the adults, and then pointed accurately at Jiang Yu.

"You're right," Sister Qin said in surprise and pride, "Just wait and see, will I get a slap in the face? I wonder who dares to say that our little Huai is an ignorant child again!"

Mrs. Zheng nodded and motioned Lu Nong to continue asking questions. Lu Nong stroked her baby's hair and asked, "Baby, did you see the three brothers take this aunt into the study?"

This time, the kid shook his head and said in a baby voice, "It was Auntie who knocked Grandma unconscious. Auntie went into the study, and the brothers went in."

Lu Nong: "You mean, Auntie went into the study first, and my brothers went in after Auntie?"

The cub nodded.

As soon as Zizi nodded, Sister Qin couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, "Look, look, children won't lie. Now the truth is out. This woman not only came to Lao Pei's study to steal things, but also framed good people. What a shameless liar..."

Li Lingyi finally let go of her worries.

Huo Xiaoling slowly let go of Zhao Xin's hand, with a look of disbelief on her face, "Why did you lie to me?"

The people who had helped Zhao Xin before also moved away from her and avoided her as much as possible.

Zhao Xin had been keeping his head down since the moment Xiao Huai appeared. His lips were trembling and his hands were constantly tearing the mantis skin on his nails. He did not respond to Huo Xiaoling's questions.

She was anxious. Lu Nong slowly stood up and protected Xiao Huai behind her. Seeing her actions, Shen Jiming, whether intentionally or unintentionally, walked to Lu Nong calmly and protected her and Xiao Huai.

Sister Zheng had a serious expression and asked the most important question: "You knocked Aunt Wu unconscious in order to steal something from Pei Ji'an's study. What exactly did you want to steal?"

Zhao Xin raised her head, no longer showing the grievance and weakness she had just shown. She laughed and said, "What can I steal?"

Zhao Xin was caught in a trap. She had never expected that Zhang Kaiping and the other two would hide in the room on the second floor. She had never expected that her actions of knocking out Mother Wu and sneaking into the study would be discovered.

If these three people were not here today, and someone downstairs had held Lu Nong for her, Zhao Xin could have found a document and then woke up Mother Wu. Even if Mother Wu had doubts afterwards, she couldn't do anything to Zhao Xin without evidence.

But unfortunately, one wrong move led to a complete loss.

In order to defend herself and frame Zhang Kaiping, she made a wrong move. She didn't know that Mother Wu was awakened by Jiang Yu. She made one wrong move after another. It was really ridiculous that she was so smart but failed over such a small matter.

Lu Nong pondered her words carefully. What Zhao Xin said was very interesting. It sounded like she was admitting defeat, but if you think about it carefully, it is also self-deprecating.

Sister Zheng said solemnly, "No matter what you stole, your behavior today is very suspicious. Xiao Shen and Xiao Jiang, you two restrain her. Xiao Zhang, go downstairs and call the guard at the door in. Then go and call all the men back. This is a big deal."

"Okay." Zhang Kaiping ran downstairs. Sister Zheng looked at Huo Xiaoling and others with suspicion. Before Sister Zheng could speak, the woman with triangular eyes was already scared pale. She was not stupid and understood what it meant for Zhao Xin to steal things from the study of a chief of staff. Two words flashed in her mind - spy.

Zhao Xin is a spy, then who are these people who are close to Zhao Xin?

Then she thought about how she had been speaking for Zhao Xin everywhere and had helped her find opportunities to go upstairs. If she said she knew nothing and did nothing, would others believe her?

But she really knew nothing. It was Zhao Xin who heard that Lu Nong had a lot of cosmetics bought by Pei Jinan, and that Sister Qin's drastic change in appearance at the ball was due to the use of Lu Nong's cosmetics. Zhao Xin envied Lu Nong's life and wanted to see Lu Nong's room. As Zhao Xin's good sister, she naturally had to satisfy her. Of course... she also felt a little jealous of Lu Nong.

Who knows...

"You're hurting me!" Triangle Eyes realized in an instant that he was being used by Zhao Xin. He screamed and beat Zhao Xin, but was separated from her by Sister Zheng in disgust.

"What were you doing earlier? Stay here quietly. You guys should think about how to tell your husbands. We have to investigate. Whether your husbands will be affected or not depends on what the investigation shows."

Huo Xiaoling and the others were dejected, and the woman with triangular eyes collapsed directly to the ground.

After the guards arrived, they took Zhao Xin away. Huo Xiaoling and several others who had a good relationship with Zhao Xin were also sent home and isolated one by one. The matter came to an end.

Pei Jinan called and told Lu Nong that Pei Zheng was fine. At this point, Lu Nong finally put his mind at ease.

In the evening, Pei Zheng and Pei Ji'an went home together. Lu Nong hurriedly went out to greet them. "How is it? Did you catch that guy? And, did you know that Zhao Xin was arrested?"

Pei Jinan frowned slightly, held Lu Nong's body firmly, and walked into the house half-carrying her.

"What happened?" Seeing that Pei Jianan didn't tell him, Lu Nong turned around and asked Pei Zheng.

Pei Zheng looked at Pei Ji'an cautiously. Pei Ji'an had made great progress now and knew how to act according to his father's expression. His father's expression was not very good at this moment, so he shrugged to show that he could do nothing to help.

Lu Nong snorted and sat down on the sofa angrily, "You have no conscience. You made me worry about you all day."

Pei Ji'an was helpless, "Just sit still and don't get startled again, or I'll tell you."

Lu Nong made an "OK" gesture, slowed down his movements ten times, gently leaned towards Pei Jinan's broad arms, rubbed his shoulders with her shoulders, blinked and said: "Can we talk now?"

Pei Ji'an always had no way to deal with Lu Nong, so he said, "They were caught, but neither of them confessed."

"Is it over?" Lu Nong looked at Pei Jinan with a confused look on his face. Pei Jinan also turned his head to look at Lu Nong. The two stared at each other for a long time.

"Oh my God, I finally understand what it means to be concise and to the point." Lu Nong covered his face.

Pei Zheng tried to hold back his laughter, but Pei Ji'an glared at him. Lu Nong loosened his grip on Pei Zheng's buttocks and said fiercely, "You say, don't be brief!"

Pei Zheng coughed lightly and recounted what happened that day from beginning to end. Lu Nong was shocked and looked at Pei Zheng with new eyes. Is this still her eldest son who was born out of wedlock?

Smart, witty and brave, a perfect hero in a novel. Oh, yes, he is the hero in the novel.

Pei Zheng's mouth was dry from talking, so he took a sip of water and concluded, "Zhong Daren was stubborn. He didn't explain his relationship with Zhao Xin after a whole day of interrogation, and he insisted that he didn't know Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin was even more outrageous. She insisted that she ran into Dad's study and looked through things just out of curiosity. I think these two still have a way to go."

"But now that they've been arrested, it's only a matter of time before we get to the bottom of it."

Lu Nong sighed after hearing this. He didn't know whether they could find out whether Zhao Xin was a spy before leaving Beijing, and why she was targeting him. No matter what, Zhao Xin's danger was completely resolved.

By the way, when it comes to leaving Beijing, Lu Nong looked at Pei Ji'an, lowered his head and asked him in a low voice: "Have you told Pei Zheng that we are leaving?"

Pei Ji'an paused, "You didn't say it?"

“……” Please, isn’t this kind of thing something that the father should be responsible for?

Lu Nong shook his head stiffly.

Pei Zheng was speechless when he saw Lu Nong and the old man whispering in front of him. He asked Lu Nong curiously, "Lu Nongnong, what are you whispering about?"

Lu Nong nodded to Pei Ji'an, who coughed softly, "We are talking about moving our whole family to the south next month."

"What?" Pei Zheng only heard the word "South" at first, thinking that the whole family was going to travel to the South. "Go to the South? Okay, when the time comes..."

It was only halfway through his speech that he realized something was wrong and was sure that his father was talking about "the whole family moving to the south."

Pei Zheng cracked, "Then... what about me?"

Pei Zheng was smart and realized that the old man had been ordered to transfer to the south.

"With my whole family, you left me alone in Beijing. Can you bear it?" Pei Zheng looked at Lu Nong with resentment. At this time, it was basically useless to ask his biological father for help. Only by asking Lu Nong would there be a slight chance...

Dad is there to be cheated. Pei Zheng's smart mind turned and he came up with a good idea. He let the old man go to the south alone, and the whole family stayed in Beijing first, and then go to the south to join the old man after he graduated.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Nong immediately stood up, holding his waist, and said seriously, "I suddenly remembered that my painting is not finished. I will go to the study to finish it."

Pei Zheng: “…”

Pei Ji’an: “…”
