Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

Chapter 40 What grudges are there?

Qin Huairu was terrified at the moment. She had never expected that not only He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai were at Lu Qing's house, but other important residents were also present.

What confused her even more was that she didn't see when these people came in.

Logically speaking, He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai have such a bad relationship with Lu Qing, how could they take the initiative to show up at Lu Qing's house?

This was totally against common sense. However, this unreasonable scene just appeared before her.

Qin Huairu opened her mouth and stood there, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened and he said coldly: "Qin Huairu, do you know what you are talking about?"

As a calm person, Yi Zhonghai understands the current situation.

If he admitted everything Qin Huairu said, his status and prestige in Siheyuan would be completely ruined.

In any case, he could never admit to the charges.

Seeing this, the second uncle Liu Haizhong chuckled and said, "Qin Huairu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

He obviously stood on Yi Zhonghai's side because he knew that Qin Huairu must not be allowed to take advantage, and most importantly, Lu Qing must not be allowed to gain the upper hand.

If Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu lose their status in the compound, who will deal with Lu Qing in the future?

The reason why Lu Qing is so arrogant now is because he has not received the lesson he deserves. This situation cannot be allowed to continue.

However, the third uncle Yan Bugui had a different opinion. He said, "You all heard it. Qin Huairu just said it clearly. She didn't know we were here before, so there was no reason for her to lie."

After hearing what Yan Bugui said, the other residents nodded in agreement.

Indeed, Qin Huairu was most likely telling the truth when she was unaware that someone was present.

He Yuzhu was anxious and said dissatisfiedly: "Sister Qin, you have to have some conscience when you speak. You and I are both oppressed by the uncle, how can you drag me into the water?"

Qin Huairu lowered her head, thinking only of escaping the scene.

In this situation, all eyes were on her, making her feel like a trapped prey.

She wanted to leave, but in this situation, how could she have a chance to escape?

At this moment, Lu Qing walked in from outside. Seeing the scene in the house, he smiled playfully: "Everyone, I think the situation is very clear. Now, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes were as cold as ice, and he immediately warned: "Lu Qing, stop framing us! Did you bribe Qin Huairu to deliberately frame us?"

"Oh?" Lu Qing chuckled, turned to look at Qin Huairu, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "Sister Qin, did you hear that? They mean to put all the responsibility on you."

Qin Huairu trembled suddenly, and her face turned pale in an instant.

She never expected that she would not gain any benefits but instead become the one to take the blame.

Her mind was in a mess and her heart was filled with fear.

She knew that she had elderly and young people in her family, especially Banggeng and the others who still needed her support, and the family could not do without her.

If something happened to me, what would happen to my family? How would my children survive?

Qin Huairu kept shaking her head, her voice flustered: "No, no, this has nothing to do with me, I just followed their arrangements. If they didn't support me, how could I dare to do such a thing?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around them suddenly understood.

What Qin Huairu said made sense. In the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu were both prestigious, especially Yi Zhonghai. Almost everyone was in awe of him.

There were few who disobeyed him.

Qin Huairu has been in close contact with them for a long time, so she will naturally act according to their arrangements.

In contrast, Lu Qing had just settled down, and although his life had improved, he had not yet gained everyone's complete trust in the courtyard, and many people still treated him as a child.

How could Qin Huairu, such a smart person, believe Lu Qing and not listen to Yi Zhonghai? What she said seemed to be closer to the truth.

Someone couldn't help but say, "Uncle, we have always trusted you, but we didn't expect you to make such a vicious plan behind the scenes."

"How did Lu Qing offend you? How dare you harm him like this?"

"He has always been respectful to you. How could you do this to him?"

"We always thought you were a fair and selfless person, but you turned out to be so vicious?"

Facing these questioning looks, Yi Zhonghai's heart tightened and he quickly explained: "You can't believe her! She must have been bribed by Lu Qing!"

He continued, "You all know that I have always been fair and just in the compound. When have you ever seen me do anything excessive? Over the years, no matter what happened, I have always handled it impartially, and you have been convinced. Why do you now believe a woman's one-sided words and don't believe in my character?"

Yi Zhonghai's words sounded reasonable, and the originally angry crowd gradually calmed down.

Indeed, Yi Zhonghai did a lot of things in the courtyard that convinced everyone, and his reputation was not built overnight.

However, sometimes, he acts with his own selfish motives, which is not easy to be noticed.

Without careful analysis, his true thoughts are difficult to uncover.

Lu Qing smiled and broke the silence: "Uncle, you said you didn't do these things, so why did He Yuzhu also say that you were involved? Are they both lying? Have they been bribed by me?"

He Yuzhu was furious: "You want to bribe me? Do you have that ability?"

"Shut up!" Lu Qing glanced at him coldly. He Yuzhu wanted to refute, but under Lu Qing's sharp gaze, he felt a sense of inexplicable fear.

He realized that the Lu Qing in front of him was no longer the timid little man, but someone he had to be wary of.

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth and glanced at everyone present: "I have said everything I should say. Believe it if you want, or forget it if you don't." After that, she turned and left Lu Qing's house without looking back.

After she left, everyone's attention was focused on Yi Zhonghai again.

Liu Haizhong noticed the change in the situation and said with a provocative smile: "Uncle, Qin Huairu has said so much, it seems that she is not lying, right? Do you have anything else to explain?"

Yan Bugui also sneered and added: "Uncle, you have always taught us to abide by the rules, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing. I don't remember when Lu Qing offended you, right?"

Yi Zhonghai was forced into a corner and suddenly said in a harsh voice: "Who said he has never offended me?"
