"Ah, yes, yes," Wang Yugui nodded.

Wang looked at her son and said hurriedly, "Gui'er, you are tired. After eating, take a shower and go upstairs to rest!"

"Okay, Mom." Wang Yugui nodded again, took a shower and went upstairs silently.

Of course I can't read the book tonight.

He couldn't fall asleep for the moment. Wang Yugui sat at the desk, looking out the window. He had to sort out his thoughts. What on earth had happened?

Mr. Zhang San died. How did he die? At present, it seems that he definitely did not die suddenly. There are rumors that he was poisoned. How did he die of poisoning?

Young Master Zhang San is not Wu Dalang. It would be enough to just call him Dalang and ask him to take medicine. He is a young man from a wealthy family. Who dares to poison him in the Zhang Mansion?

Ruan Dongmei? Impossible. Poisoning Mr. Zhang San would do her no good at all!

Given Ruan Dongmei's personality, she would never do anything that has no benefit.

Wang Yugui didn't believe the rumor that she had an adulterer. The fact that the rumor was pinned on him just proved that Ruan Dongmei had never had any contact with other men.

When he really couldn't find any evidence, he made up rumors and said that he was Ruan Dongmei's adulterer.

So, who was falsely accusing and framing himself and Ruan Dongmei?

Why did Hai Da judge himself? Did Hai Da also believe this false accusation?

It doesn't seem so. During the trial today, Mr. Hai did not make things difficult for me at all. He even let me go home after questioning me.

"Oh, what on earth is going on?" Wang Yugui sighed.

Unexpectedly, disaster struck while I was sitting in the nunnery!

Fortunately, the rumor did not say that he was the adulterer, otherwise, he would have lost his reputation in the city.

Even if he is cleared of suspicion in the future, being dragged into a case like this and being gossiped about by everyone, how can he survive in the city?

If this kind of nonsense continues, who among the wealthy families will be willing to ask me to paint their portraits in the future?

Wang Yugui broke out in a sweat when he thought of this. Alas, the shower he just took wasted!

Feeling very upset, he spread out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote a letter to Miss Tan. He recalled the whole incident in detail, wrote it down and told Miss Tan, while he also tried to calm himself down and sort out his thoughts.

After finishing the letter, Wang Yugui calmed down a lot. Looking at the moon outside the window, he sighed, "Alas, it's a pity that Miss Tan is not in the city. There is no one to help me analyze the situation!"

As for what happened in Shuijing Temple, he had no time to take care of it now as his own lawsuit was still not settled.

I have already explained clearly the three conflicts between me and Mr. Zhang San, and there were witnesses each time.

When I think about it carefully, all the rumors about me and Ruan Dongmei were caused by Ruan Dongmei. I have never taken the initiative to provoke her!

Hey, why does Ruan Dongmei have to provoke me? I can’t hide from her. It’s outrageous!

Wang Yugui lay in bed, tossing and turning, thinking and thinking, unable to fall asleep for a long time

……

The next day

"Painter Xiao Wang, Painter Xiao Wang" Wang Yugui was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.

Captain Liu's voice was heard calling from outside the door. Wang Yugui was startled and quickly got out of bed and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Captain Liu looked at Wang Yugui and smacked his lips: "Oh, Painter Wang, you are in such a good mood. It's already noon, and you still want to sleep in!"

"No, Captain Liu, I didn't sleep well last night. I was too sleepy. I fell asleep and couldn't get up. That's why I slept in and got up late." Wang Yugui smiled embarrassedly.

Alas, his mother and sisters did not wake him up. They thought he was too tired and did not dare to disturb him.

Captain Liu smiled and looked at Wang Yugui: "Master Painter Wang, won't you invite me in to sit down?"

"Oh, Captain Liu, please come in." Wang Yugui hurriedly let Captain Liu in and said with a smile, "Oh, I thought you were here to summon me to court again, haha!"

"Haha, Painter Xiao Wang, you must have been scared yesterday." Captain Liu also laughed when he heard it.

After entering the house, he looked around Wang Yugui's room and said with a smile: "Oh, Painter Wang, this is the first time I enter your boudoir!"

"Haha, Captain Liu, you really know how to joke. What boudoir? I'm not a lady." Wang Yugui also laughed

He then quickly poured a glass of water for Captain Liu: "Captain Liu, please drink some water!"

Captain Liu seemed to be in a very good mood today and even wanted to play a joke on himself!

Captain Liu sat down, looked at the teacup, and nodded: "Well, this is boiled water, very good!"

"Yes, I just woke up and haven't had time to make tea yet." Wang Yugui also sat down with a smile.

Captain Liu waved his hand and said, "No need to make tea, boiled water is good. I love to drink boiled water these days!"

After two glasses of cold boiled water, Captain Liu looked at Wang Yugui and said with a smile, "Master Wang, were you frightened yesterday? Didn't you feel well last night?"

"Well, I'm not scared. I've been to court before. I just feel very confused and there are many things I don't understand," Wang Yugui smiled.

Captain Liu nodded: "Yes, I understand. However, yesterday, Lord Hai told me not to tell you about the case!"

"Oh, Lord Hai, do you also suspect that I have something to do with Mr. Zhang's murder?" Wang Yugui asked hurriedly.

Captain Liu smiled and said, "Master Hai doesn't doubt you, but someone reported you, so we have to investigate!"

"Who reported me? What evidence does he have? Can he just accuse someone without any evidence?" Wang Yugui said angrily.

Captain Liu laughed again: "Master Xiao Wang, does Lord Hai listen to reports so easily?"

"He must have a reason for interrogating you!"

Then he sighed and said, "In fact, it wasn't just one person who testified against you, but several people. That's why the Ocean University had no choice but to interrogate you!"

"The purpose of interrogating you is precisely to help you clear suspicion, understand?"

"Ah? There are several people who testify against me? Then, how is that possible? I really didn't do anything." Wang Yugui was surprised and looked at Captain Liu in confusion.

Captain Liu drank another cup of tea and said, "Yes, but you don't have to worry about it now. After you left yesterday, Mr. Hai interrogated those witnesses again."

"Those people have confessed, saying that someone instructed them to say so. Your suspicion has been cleared!"

"Oh, really? Hey, Captain Liu, what's going on? Tell me quickly!" Wang Yugui was both happy and confused.

Captain Liu sighed and said, "Hey, Painter Xiao Wang, let me tell you, this is what happened."

"Yesterday at noon, Mr. Zhang San finished his lunch and went to Ruan Dongmei's room to rest."

"She said she ate too much at noon and was very thirsty, so she drank a pot of herbal tea that Ruan Dongmei had prepared in the morning, and ate the watermelon that Ruan Dongmei had cut."

"I didn't expect that before we finished eating the watermelon, Mr. Zhang San suddenly changed his expression and said he had a headache."
