Hearing He Yuzhu's words, the courtyard was in an uproar, and everyone turned their eyes to Yi Zhonghai.

How could a man who always presented himself as a fair man come up with such a despicable method? This had a strong impact on everyone's impression.

"Could it be that an old man has such a vicious mind?" People were talking about it, with confusion and surprise on their faces.

Yi Zhonghai immediately felt that something was wrong and was even more annoyed. He never thought that He Yuzhu would betray him in public.

This idiot, can't he see that this is Lu Qing's trap?

Now that he has said it, how can the relationship between the two sides go back?

Yi Zhonghai immediately denied it: "Don't listen to He Yuzhu's nonsense! I never said these words."

However, He Yuzhu believed that Yi Zhonghai was shirking responsibility and putting all the problems on himself.

He said coldly: "Master, you said something yourself, but now you don't dare to admit it?"

He went on to say: "If you don't believe it, then we can call Qin Huairu out and let her explain it clearly!"

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale in an instant, and he stared at He Yuzhu coldly, his eyes full of threats.

He Yuzhu showed no sign of weakness and glared back at Yi Zhonghai in response.

The relationship between the two of them completely collapsed at this moment, and Lu Qing crossed his arms and watched the scene with a playful look on his face.

Sure enough, as he expected, the basis for cooperation between the two was already fragile, and just a slight push was enough to make them attack each other.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, He Yuzhu shouted unwillingly towards the Jia family's house: "Sister Qin, come out quickly and help me testify!"

Qin Huairu hid in the house, feeling uneasy.

Something unexpected had happened, and she had never expected the situation to deteriorate to this extent.

What's worse is that He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai fell out with each other and even asked her to come out to testify.

This puts her in a dilemma.

She knew very well that she couldn't afford to offend anyone.

If I were to come out and testify now, it would be a big problem no matter which side I stand on.

She just thought that if she could find a gap to squeeze into now, she didn't want to get involved in this conflict.

"Sister Qin, I know you are at home, come out and testify for me!" Seeing that Qin Huairu did not respond, He Yuzhu shouted again anxiously.

At this time, Chen Wenhui, who was standing aside, saw that the situation was becoming increasingly tense, and knew in her heart that if Qin Huairu got involved, there would be no good result.

She thought about it and took the initiative to say, "Sister Qin is not at home. She just left through the back door."

"She left?" He Yuzhu frowned, wondering, "Why did she leave suddenly?"

Chen Wenhui raised her wrist and gestured, "My hand was injured just now, and I asked her to go out and buy medicine for me."

When everyone looked over, they saw that Chen Wenhui's wrist was red, swollen and shiny, as if it had indeed been hit.

"This..." He Yuzhu didn't expect that Qin Huairu was not in the room, and the key witness he relied on was unable to testify.

Qin Huairu, who was hiding in the house, was also shocked by Chen Wenhui's actions. She didn't expect that Chen Wenhui would help her out of trouble.

She thought that what she had just done would lead to Chen Wenhui's blame, but she didn't expect that not only did she not blame her, but she took the initiative to help her out of the predicament.

Qin Huairu suddenly felt deeply guilty, and reflected in her heart that if she had known that things would turn out like this, she would never have agreed to Yi Zhonghai, let alone provoke Lu Qing.

Yi Zhonghai smiled when he heard this.

He turned to He Yuzhu and said coldly: "You have to do what you promised just now. This is the rule."

He Yuzhu gritted his teeth, his face turned gloomy: "Uncle!"

Yi Zhonghai continued to remind him: "You'd better think it through. If you don't do what you said today, who will communicate with you in the future? Who do you think can trust you?"

He Yuzhu sneered: "Who wants to communicate with me? Do you think I'm worth it? You can do whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me anyway, but I won't kneel to Lu Qing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to his room, slamming the door shut without caring about Yi Zhonghai's face.

"Bang!" The sound of the door closing shook the entire courtyard. He Yuzhu's move was clearly an open confrontation with Yi Zhonghai.

The people around watched this scene and started to discuss: "What's wrong with Shazhu? Why is he becoming more and more unreasonable?"

"Isn't it? He just now swore to accuse Lu Qing, but now he realizes that he was wrong and he is not even willing to apologize."

"Shazhu is really becoming more and more incomprehensible. We should stay away from him from now on."

"He even dares not to listen to the words of an old man. He is really arrogant now."

Yi Zhonghai's expression became increasingly grim as he listened to the discussions of the people around him.

He has always been the one who has the final say in the courtyard, and everyone has always respected his opinions.

However, He Yuzhu openly ignored him and completely broke off relations with him in front of so many people, which made him feel completely humiliated.

Although Lu Qing was the instigator of this situation, Yi Zhonghai also knew that He Yuzhu's trust in him had collapsed.

Even if Lu Qing wasn't there, this rift would have appeared sooner or later.

Seeing this, Lu Qing smiled and said to Yi Zhonghai, "I thought I was the only one who didn't give face to the elder, but I didn't expect so many people were unwilling to do so."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Lu Qing coldly, and said in a heavy tone: "Lu Qing, we are all neighbors. Don't play tricks like this to sow discord. We won't fall for it."

After saying this, he turned and left, his steps slightly hurried.

Lu Qing smiled and said calmly: "Anyway, it seems that your words no longer count."

Yi Zhonghai paused for a moment, but finally left without looking back.

When the other onlookers saw this, they realized that things had gotten out of hand and began to disperse.

The smile on Lu Qing's face gradually disappeared, and a chill rose in his heart.

You guys came to me before I even started causing any trouble? Do you really think I, Lu Qing, am a soft persimmon that you can easily bully?

He went home with a gloomy face.

Chen Wenhui followed closely behind him and noticed that he looked unhappy. She thought he was angry because she helped Qin Huairu.

She walked forward and whispered, "Just now I took the initiative to help Sister Qin. Are you... unhappy?"

Lu Qing suddenly raised his head and asked coldly, "Tell me, why did you help her?"

Chen Wenhui lowered her head, her voice hesitant: "I... I just feel that if it wasn't for Sister Qin's introduction, I would never have met you, and I would never have married you."

Lu Qing was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Chen Wenhui to say such a thing.

His heart was touched for a moment, but he still maintained a calm expression.

"I know she has problems, but I think helping her this time can be considered as repaying her favor." Chen Wenhui said in a low voice.

Lu Qing chuckled: "No need. Do you think she asked you to marry me for your own good? Don't be so naive."

Chen Wenhui was speechless for a moment, and agreed with Lu Qing's opinion in his heart.

Looking back over the years, Qin Huairu's behavior was certainly not out of kindness, and the guilt in her heart slowly dissipated.

Lu Qing raised his eyebrows and continued, "But what you did just now also has an advantage. Next, we can use her to deal a fatal blow to He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai."
