Chapter 120: The Farce Ends (2)

Seeing that Ling Ran had stopped, Ye Yan finally moved his gaze compassionately away. He turned his head and looked at the people in the courtyard again.

The two people who were busy talking did not notice that a figure had flashed at the end of the other side of the corridor at the same time as Zhao Youlin left. That figure instantly disappeared into the darkness without leaving a trace.

The people in the courtyard never expected Zhao Youlin to be so clear-cut. After hitting someone without explaining why, she had grabbed her child and turned around to leave. They were stunned for a while before they came back to their senses.

Sun Fengzi never expected Zhao Youlin to leave like that as well. She was surprised for a while, but she quickly came back to her senses.

Zhao Youlin had left without saying anything, so she could say whatever she wanted about what had happened. After all, everyone saw that Zhao Youlin had wielded weapons to deal with them just now.

After figuring this out, Sun Fengzi immediately became confident. She glanced at Duan Yarong who was still worried and pulled the injured Zhao Yifei up. Then, they rushed to the old master, who had the most say in this matter. She looked just like a victim who hoped the old master would stand up for her.

“Old Master, take a look. Take a look. How could Youlin do this? Yifei is her cousin no matter what. Look at how she injured him.”

Duan Yarong had a bad feeling when she saw Sun Fengzi run over. She became even more displeased when she heard her complain to the old master.

“Fengzi, you’re wrong there. You straight-up said that Youlin hurt people. Why don’t you tell us everything from the beginning to the end, and let us know why Youlin hurt people?”

Duan Yarong’s face slightly darkened. She never expected Zhao Youlin to hurt people. But no matter what, Zhao Youlin was her child now. She believed that if Sun Fengzi had not said something to annoy her, she would definitely not hurt people without reason.

Other people might not know Sun Fengzi’s temperament, but she was as easily read as an open book. She had always been one who caused trouble instead of being the victim.

“This… I just lectured her a bit, but who knew that she would… I’m an elder, so why can’t I lecture her?” Sun Fengzi replied with full confidence.

However, Duan Yarong saw a trace of guilty conscience in her eyes. She sneered and said, “Then she probably did not react kindly to your lecture.”

“I…” Sun Fengzi choked, and her face slightly darkened.

Duan Yarong was not planning to let her go easily. There were many people present. If these people really believed what this crazy woman said, her child’s reputation would be damaged.

At first, Duan Yarong was worried that Zhao Youlin would have a bad reputation in the upper-class society and be unable to find a man who was willing to treat her sincerely in the future because of her previous marriage with Mu Tingfeng.

Now that Sun Fengzi had caused this today, she was just defaming Zhao Youlin. Duan Yarong who already regarded Zhao Youlin as her own child would not let this pass.

“Why? Are you afraid of revealing the whole truth?”

“I dare, of course. It was just… I dislike her for being arrogant just because she is liked by everyone, so I lectured her as an elder. Why? I can’t lecture her?” Sun Fengzi felt even more guilty when Duan Yarong looked at her with her eyes that could see through everything.

Li Hongyu and her son who were in the crowd exchanged glances when they saw the two arguing because of Zhao Youlin. They did not want to be left behind and interrupted, “What the third sister-in-law said is right. She is Youlin’s elder, so she should lecture her. It’s fine if Youlin refuses to obey, but she is wrong for hurting people.”

“Shut up!”

“Who is your third sister-in-law?!”

Duan Yarong and Sun Fengzi turned their heads and shouted at Li Hongyu at the same time. Li Hongyu’s expression changed, and the smile on her face distorted for a moment. She clenched her fists and returned to her original place.

However, she glanced at the two women, especially Sun Fengzi, with full resentment.

Without the interruption of insensitive people, Duan Yarong immediately pointed at Sun Fengzi. “I’m curious when you said that. You rarely see Youlin, so how could you tell that she is arrogant? Even if my daughter has done something wrong, she should be lectured by me. There is no need for others to lecture her.”

“You… Anyway, she is wrong for hurting people!” Sun Fengzi bit her lip and said unwillingly. She decided not to continue engaging with Duan Yarong, so she directly pushed Duan Yarong away. Then, she rushed to the old master and shouted, “Old Master, Youlin is your child, but Yifei is your grandson as well. This time, you must stand up for Yifei. You can’t cover up for her because you like that girl.”

Master Zhao glanced at the woman who ran directly to him and yelled to let him stand up for her. A dangerous light flashed in his eyes that could see through everything. “You don’t know what decision I’ll make, so how do you know that I will cover up for Youlin?”

Sun Fengzi’s expression changed slightly. A trace of guilt and worry appeared on her face for a moment when she saw the old master’s energetic eyes.

She was secretly worried. ‘Is the old master really planning to abandon us for that witch?”

“Cough. Cough…” When the few people were arguing, Zhao Shunchang suddenly coughed lightly to remind the two women. There were many people at the side. They should go back home to solve the problem instead of getting laughed at.

“Shunchang, Yifei’s hand is injured. Quickly call a doctor over to tend to him.”

Zhao Shunchang was like awakening from a dream. Sun Fengzi also took advantage of the situation and turned her head to care about her son.

Master Zhao saw Zhao Shunrong say some cut-and-dried words with everyone present and sent all of them back to the front hall. Then, he glanced at the few people while looking dignified and said, “You guys, follow me to the study room.”

Sun Fengzi took a deep breath, and annoyance and hatred were deep in her eyes. She made up her mind to distort the truth since the other party was not there. She just had to be firm in attitude and insist that she was not wrong, and that it was the little witch’s fault. Then, there would be no problem.

With that in mind, Sun Fengzi did not panic. Unfortunately, before she could let out a sigh of relief, a figure suddenly walked out of the pavilion, where she thought it was empty.

Sun Fengzi’s expression immediately changed. She was stunned as she watched Uncle Zhao walk to the old master step by step. She subconsciously said, “Y-You have been there all the time.”

Uncle Zhao gave Sun Fengzi a smile and said, “Madam Fengzi, I have been there all the time, and I have seen and heard everything that I should see and hear.”

Sun Fengzi, Zhao Shunchang, and other people’s faces instantly turned pale. At that moment, they finally understood why Zhao Youlin was able to leave without a worry just now. It turned out that she had left a witness here, and he was a witness who would never lie.
