Fu Junyan felt a little reluctant for a moment, but still chose to ignore her gaze.

He shouted, "How dare you say you didn't pour sand on Chu'er's head? Didn't you pour water on her head? How is this different from murder?!"

Lin Zhuwei couldn't help but sneered: "Qian Yuechu, did you really see clearly that it was me? If I said it wasn't me at all, you would definitely think I was making excuses for myself. Haha, it's true that you can always find excuses to accuse someone of something!"

Qian Yuechu looked like a victim, so pitiful. If she insisted that it was her who did it, who would believe her no matter how much she defended herself?

Before Qian Yuechu could say anything, Fu Junyan said angrily, "Yu Shaoruo! Apart from you, who else in this mansion would be against her? Why do you always haggle over every little thing and refuse to give in?"

"Chu'er just made some five-color cakes with crab meat. You accidentally ate some. Is it worth taking her life?"

Fu Junyan's series of indiscriminate accusations made Lin Zhuwei's heart ache.

Her heart turned cold, and her face turned cold. She hid the pain in her eyes, and she was unwilling to make any more meaningless defense for herself.

So, is this how he always looks at her?

"Yu Shaoruo, do you know what the consequences will be if the Qian family reports you to the police?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Fu Junyan raised his voice a few degrees.

Lin Zhuwei said coldly: "Then report to the police."

"Yu Shaoruo! Are you crazy?" Fu Junyan became even angrier when he saw her indifferent look.

"Sister-in-law, don't say such angry words!" He Zhilan said anxiously.

Fu Lifeng, on the other hand, said calmly, "I agree with what my sister-in-law said. If we both insist on our own opinions, we might as well report it directly to the authorities. The honest officials will make the final decision on who is right and who is wrong."

Qian Yuechu's face turned pale, and she felt a little flustered. If she really had to report to the police, she would no longer be able to hide the fact that she was the first to do it.

Moreover, now that Lin Zhuwei has been pulled into the water, she has won the sympathy of everyone. If she reports to the police and it is found out that the person in the well is not Lin Zhuwei, then her crime will be in vain.

Qian Ren'an glanced at everyone and said calmly, "Brother Fu, you are too serious. It's not necessary."

Qian Yuechu also hurriedly said, "Fu Lang, I'm fine now. Don't report it to the police. It will damage the reputation of the Fu family if it gets out. Since the young lady doesn't admit it, forget it. I'll pretend that it never happened."

These sincere words made Qian Yuechu seem more generous and sensible compared to Lin Zhuwei's indifferent attitude.

Madam Fu was deeply moved: "Yuyue is sensible. I'm sorry for wronging you." At the same time, she turned around and said to Lin Zhuwei in a stern voice, "Since you don't know your fault, just kneel outside!"

Lin Zhuwei glanced at Fu Junyan, whose face was ashen, and felt a little uncomfortable, but she said nothing. She walked out with her neck stiff and knelt outside the hall.

Seeing this, Qian Ren'an didn't feel like saying anything else, so he could only say, "Madam, Brother Fu, let's just go back first."

The group of people cordially escorted the two siblings of the Qian family out of the courtyard.

Fu Junyan passed by Lin Zhuwei who was kneeling on the ground, paused, and left without saying a word.

Qian Mansion.

Xiaodie helped Qian Yuechu carefully apply the plaster and asked in confusion, "Miss, why don't you just report it to the police?"

Qian Yuechu snorted and said viciously, "Are you stupid? If we report it to the police, how can we keep the fact that we deliberately put crabs in the five-color cake a secret? It's a pity that we didn't poison her to death."

"Then Miss, your sin was in vain?"

"It can't be said that I suffered in vain. This injury is nothing if it can make Fu Lang feel disgusted with Yu Shaoruo."

Qian Yuechu paused for a moment, and said with lingering fear, "In fact, the person who dumped sand on my head may not be her."

"This..." Xiaodie looked puzzled, "Wasn't it Madam Yu who pushed you down?"

Qian Yuechu shook her head: "She did push me. But she was not wrong either. I was the first to do it, so I can't report it to the police. As for the person who poured the sand, it was too dark and I couldn't see clearly."

After a pause, Qian Yuechu's eyes flashed fiercely, and he gritted his teeth, "It doesn't matter if it's her or not. It must be her! Only if I put all the blame on her, will Fu Lang hate her, and the old lady will feel guilty about me, and I will have a better chance of entering the Fu Mansion."

"Qian Yuechu! How did you become so hateful!"

A roar came from the door, scaring Qian Yuechu so much that her face turned pale. When she looked up, she saw Qian Ren'an with a livid face, looking at her in disbelief.

"Brother..." Qian Yuechu was startled and asked stutteringly, "You, you heard everything?"

Qian Ren'an shook his head in disappointment: "Zhu Yue, I really didn't expect you to become like this! You confuse right and wrong, slander me maliciously, how could my sister-in-law offend you!"

"She was wrong because she shouldn't have snatched away my marriage!" Qian Yuechu roared angrily.

"She already had an engagement with Brother Fu. Besides, Brother Fu never promised you anything! How can you be so stubborn!"

"Then why did she show up? It's because of this ridiculous engagement that Fu Lang couldn't get away! They don't love each other at all, why should they be entangled with each other!"

Qian Ren'an looked at his grief-stricken sister and couldn't believe that she was so deeply involved in this.

Thinking back to how Fu Junyan and Lin Zhuwei were getting along, it seemed like they had already begun to fall in love. He was afraid that his sister had missed the opportunity, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"Sister, listen to my elder brother's advice, just let go of Brother Fu, I will find you a better man, and we can live a good life together."

"No! I only want Fu Lang! If you want to marry me to someone else, you can arrange a ghost marriage for me unless I die!"

"You!" Qian Ren'an was so angry that he almost went crazy. "Yuyue, you better take care of yourself, don't let yourself suffer the consequences in the end!"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave angrily, but then he heard Qian Yuechu begging behind him: "Brother, just pretend you didn't hear anything I said today, okay? Consider it as me begging you!"

Qian Ren'an paused for a moment, raised his head, sighed, and left.

"How is it?" Fu Junyan held the book, but seemed a little absent-minded.

Wu Er said cautiously: "The young lady is still kneeling."

Fu Junyan frowned slightly, looked out the window, and felt a little uneasy.

She had been kneeling all night, and now it was already three in the morning, and the sun was scorching.

But she insisted on not drinking a single drop of water, and even when she was so sleepy that she was about to nod her head to the ground, she refused to close her eyes.

Fu Junyan knew that she was angry. He just wanted to dampen her spirit, and his grandmother also tacitly agreed that she could get up.

But she was as hard as a rock and insisted on kneeling. Now it made him feel uncomfortable.

"Young Master..." Wu Er called carefully.

"Hmm?" He responded nonchalantly, but in his mind he was wondering how many hours she had been kneeling.

"Master, you hold the book... upside down..."

Hearing this, Fu Junyan lowered his head to look at the book in his hand and sighed almost inaudibly.

"Young Master! Young Master!" Abu ran in in panic.

"What's wrong?" Fu Junyan frowned.

"The young lady has fainted!"
