Chapter 145: The Grand Show
Zhou Wangshu watched Su Yaoguang blowing on his wound. When her red lips were slightly pursed, they were moist and glossy, like soft, sweet, fragrant rose flower cake, making one want to take a bite.
She raised her eyes to look at him, her palm-sized little face full of heartache, muttering nonstop in her mouth, all of it cursing Xiao Yanci, her voice crisp like an oriole singing.
Zhou Wangshu felt a bit guilty.
The reason the soup spilled on him was, of course, because he did it on purpose.
He didn’t know if Xiao Yanci had also had that kind of dream, but lately he kept making strange moves toward Su Yaoguang and saying strange things. In his view, those moves and words were seducing.
He had to make that shameless guy completely give up. The simplest way was to shatter his delusions. Now everyone knew his intentions, so he would have to think twice before trying to seduce Su Yaoguang again.
“Luckily it’s not serious, otherwise I would pour a pot of boiling water on him.” Su Yaoguang put away the medicine and said, “Don’t work today, rest well.”
“This little injury is nothing.” Zhou Wangshu said, “I’m not Mr. Xiao, I’m not that fragile.”
He wasn’t stupid, how could he really hurt himself? This scald wouldn’t even blister; a bit of medicine and it would be gone.
Zhaodi said she notified Zhong Lanhua and her daughter to come take care of Xiao Yanci, and an hour later Jiang Yihuan came up the mountain. Not long after, Wen Shi also heard the news and came up the mountain.
Zhaodi lay at the doorway watching the two women fight over one man, and saw Xiao Yanci being forcibly fed a lot of soups and liquids by the two women, her eyes full of the excitement of watching a show.
At night, a scream pierced the night’s silence.
Su Yaoguang was sleeping soundly when she was woken by this scream.
Jing’er beside her said, “What happened?”
Zhaodi threw on clothes and got out of bed: “I’ll go take a look, you all stay put and don’t move, maybe it’s nothing big. Yesterday a rat crawled onto Granny Wang’s face, she screamed just as miserably, really scary.”
Once they heard this, indeed it was like that.
The more people there were, the more incidents. Yesterday it was Granny Wang, the day before Granny Zhang, the day before that Uncle Li, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhou…
Su Yaoguang had been woken up and couldn’t sleep anymore. She rolled over a few times on the bed, got up, put on her shoes and said, “I’ll go take a look too.”
Once she left, Zhang Yingdi and Zhang Pandi couldn’t stay idle either.
Jing’er also followed Su Yaoguang.
The female relatives in the room had just gone out the door when they saw many people coming out from other zen rooms too.
“What happened?”
“Don’t mention it.” A woman said, “That bitch Wen Shi actually seduced Zhang the Cripple, pressed down on Zhang the Cripple to do filthy deeds, and was caught by a young master.”
Su Yaoguang and the others: “…”
They looked at each other, passing along one message: “Jiang Yihuan made her move.”
Though Wen Shi was a widow, she had good looks, a figure that this young girl Jiang Yihuan who took the white flower route couldn’t compare to. If left by Xiao Yanci’s side, given her an opportunity, she would surely succeed. As for her fancying Zhang the Cripple, that old, ugly bachelor, not one of them believed it. Wen Shi had her eyes on Xiao Yanci, how could she fancy Zhang the Cripple?
In other words, even if she couldn’t succeed and couldn’t climb the high branch Xiao Yanci, with her looks she would pick someone with decent conditions, how could she lower her own status?
They hurried to the place where the incident happened.
Wen Shi sat on the ground with her clothes disheveled, crying pear blossoms with rain.
“This woman seduced me.” Zhang the Cripple said, “While I was at the outhouse, she pounced on me like this, my lifetime of purity ruined by her.”
Wen Shi struggled to get back up, looked toward Xiao Yanci’s figure in the crowd, her eyes full of determination: “I didn’t seduce him. I don’t even know what came over me. Young Master, I admire you, how could I do such a shameless thing? I’m wronged in today’s matter, but with evidence solid, I can’t quibble. I can only prove my innocence with death.”
With that, Wen Shi lunged toward the pillar opposite.
The women nearby hurriedly stopped her.
“To tell the truth, though very angry, but…” That woman looked at Xiao Yanci, then at Zhang the Cripple, her expression odd. “Unless her eyes are blind, she shouldn’t…”
Seduce Zhang the Cripple.
Everyone was thinking that.
“Xiao Gege, is there some misunderstanding?” Jiang Yihuan said to Xiao Yanci, “Maybe this person wanted to do something to Wen Sister?”
Zhang the Cripple shouted loudly: “Bullshit. I went to the outhouse, she suddenly rushed out and hugged me, even undid my belt.”
Xiao Yanci’s face had been dark from earlier until now.
He didn’t like Wen Shi, but everyone knew this woman was his admirer. Now such a scandal happened, everyone was watching his joke, putting him together with this old, ugly, dirty, smelly Zhang the Cripple.
This was humiliation to him.
“Eldest Sister-in-law, did you feel any discomfort just now?” Su Yaoguang asked.
She had no dealings with this Wen Shi, nor any grudge. The enemy’s enemy is a friend; this Wen Shi’s enemy was Jiang Yihuan, she didn’t mind helping her out along the way.
She couldn’t let Xiao Yanci be too complacent, right?
“I felt very hot just now, my brain foggy, like I had no reason.” Wen Shi said, “Am I sick?”
“Jing’er, help her take the pulse.”
Jing’er nodded, stepped forward, and took Wen Shi’s pulse.
“How is it?” The people nearby were even more anxious than Wen Shi.
“Xiao Gege, what do they mean by this?” Jiang Yihuan said softly, “Even if sick, she wouldn’t do something like…”
“I don’t know, let’s see first!” Xiao Yanci said, “Were you asleep just now?”
“I was asleep, the scream scared me half to death!” Jiang Yihuan frowned, “How could Wen Sister do such a thing, really beyond my imagination. I wonder if that Zhang the Cripple forced her?”
Regardless of whether Zhang the Cripple forced Wen Shi, once this matter was settled, Wen Shi’s reputation would be ruined.
“She’s been drugged.” Jing’er said, “A potent drug.”
“Oh my god…” The crowd was shocked, “Who gave it to her?”
Everyone looked toward Jiang Yihuan.
Jiang Yihuan’s face changed drastically, anxiously saying: “Why are you looking at me, it has nothing to do with me.”
“Your feud with Eldest Sister-in-law Wen is known to all, if not you, who else would harm her like this? She has no grudge with us, we wouldn’t hurt an innocent woman.”
“Exactly, who else but you would want to ruin her reputation like this?”
“Maybe this person wanted to take advantage of her, but worried she wouldn’t comply, so drugged her?” Jiang Yihuan pointed at Zhang the Cripple.
“Bullshit to your mother, though I’m a bachelor, I’ve never forced a woman. My reputation in the village is very good. This is a Buddhist Holy Land, I dare profane gods and Buddha here, aren’t I afraid of dying and going to hell?” Zhang the Cripple yelled, “I absolutely won’t admit to something I didn’t do.”
