Chapter 1132: This Is a Snake
“Brother Qiu De, when did your young master say that he wanted Xiaoni to be his concubine?”
Qiu De said, “Half a month ago.”
Half a month ago??
At that time, there was no indication that Gu Xiaoxi and Chang Yaya were in contact.
Everyone was no fool. What was there to not understand? It was obvious that Hong Xiaoni wanted to be someone’s concubine and couldn’t wait to get rid of Gu Xiaoxi. In order to clear her name, she even set him and Chang Yaya up.
Tragic, how tragic.
Gu Xiaoxi had walked out at some point in time and probably heard what Qiu De had said. He said in a low but powerful voice, “I’ve never said that I’ll let Hong Xiaoni go, and I’ve never seen fifty taels of silver. I also don’t know that Young Master Qiu has taken a fancy to her and wants to take a concubine.”
Qiu De immediately pointed at Zhou Jingui. “Where did the silver go?”
“I, I, I…” Zhou Jingui was speechless. He was so flustered that he could only look at Chief Zhou.
However, ever since Qiu De appeared and revealed Shao Qingyuan’s identity, Chief Zhou had already broken out in cold sweat. How could he care about him?
The Zhou family’s side was terrifyingly quiet, but the Chang family’s side started whispering. The buzzing grew louder and louder.
Patriarch Chang laughed. “It’s obvious now. Hong Xiaoni is the one who’s full of lies. What Chang Yaya said is true. I knew it. Our Chang family’s girl is usually honest and dutiful. How could she do such a thing? She was tricked by Hong Xiaoni.”
“I’m not, I’m not,” Hong Xiaoni immediately denied.
Chief Chang suddenly laughed. “You didn’t? I also have a witness here. Do you want to hear what he has to say?”
He waved his hand behind him, and immediately, someone walked over with a middle-aged man between their arms.
When Chief Zhou saw him, his expression became very ugly.
This was the doctor.
Back then, in the note Shao Qingyuan had given Patriarch Chang, other than asking him to keep an eye on Zhou Jingui and Hong Xiaoni, he had also asked him to interrogate the doctors in the village.
Now, the man confessed.
The doctor stood in front of everyone. Facing everyone’s covetous gazes, he could only brace himself and say, “Actually, two years ago, Hong Xiaoni gave me benefits and asked me to lie to Gu Xiaoxi and tell her that her health wasn’t good. She had to keep recuperating for two years. Also, a few days ago, Hong Xiaoni took two packets of medicine from me and gave them to Gu Xiaoxi and Chang Yaya. After that, I listened to her and told everyone that Gu Xiaoxi was healthy and couldn’t faint…”
Everyone’s eyes widened when they heard this. The person standing beside Hong Xiaoni could not help but take three steps back.
Even the Zhou family could not help but gasp.
How much hatred did she have? She actually schemed against her husband. Not only that, but she also wanted to kill the innocent Chang Yaya.
A scorpion. This was a scorpion.
Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Gu Yundong simply said to Chief Chang, “The two of you can discuss the rest yourselves. My uncle is not feeling well. I’ll take him in to rest first. Take care.”
In any case, they didn’t need the person involved to be present when they discussed how to deal with Gu Xiaoxi and her wife last time. Now, they didn’t want to get involved.
After all, now that it was the Chang family’s turn to get benefits, they would probably have to argue with the Zhou family for a long time.
Gu Yundong and the others returned to the house. Once the courtyard door was closed, it was instantly quiet.
This time, no one looked at them anymore.
The results of the punishment were out very quickly.
