Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 355: Sha Zhu's face turns red

Suddenly, she heard a noisy sound coming from the yard. She quickly got up and walked to the window. Through the small hole in the window paper, she saw a group of people gathered in the yard, seemingly arguing about something.

Qin Huairu was shocked, and quickly put on her clothes and went out. When she came to the yard, she saw Jia Zhang pointing at Sha Zhu's nose and cursing: "Sha Zhu, you dare to seduce my daughter-in-law, do you still have a conscience?"

Sha Zhu said with a wronged look on his face: "Mom, I didn't seduce Huai Ru, I just care about her."

"Care? Why would you go into her room if you care about her? Do you think I'm a fool?" Jia Zhang roared angrily.

The neighbors around started talking about it. Some accused Sha Zhu of being immoral, while others thought that Jia Zhang was being unreasonable.

Qin Huairu was filled with helplessness and pain when she saw this scene. She knew that all this was caused by her. She didn't want Sha Zhu to be wronged because of her, and she didn't want Jia Zhangshi to continue making trouble.

She took a deep breath, walked up to Jia Zhang, and said, "Mom, please stop making trouble. I was the one who let Sha Zhu into the house."

Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then she said even more angrily: "Qin Huairu, you dare to hook up with Sha Zhu behind my back, do you still take me seriously?"

Qin Huairu's tears flowed again, and she choked and said, "Mom, I didn't hook up with Sha Zhu, I just..."

"You just what? You just want to take advantage of Dongxu's paralysis to elope with Shazhu, right?" Jia Zhang interrupted Qin Huairu viciously.

Qin Huairu was frightened by Jia Zhang's words. She quickly shook her head and denied it, "No, Mom, I have never thought of eloping with Sha Zhu."

"Then why did you let him into your room? Why did you let him wipe your tears? Do you dare to say that you have no interest in him at all?" Jia Zhang pressed on step by step, aggressively.

Qin Huairu was forced into a corner by Jia Zhang. She could only cry silently, not knowing how to explain.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Enough!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the eldest master Yi Zhonghai coming over. He looked at Jia Zhang with a serious face and said, "Jia Zhang, have you had enough of the trouble? Don't you know what kind of person Huairu is? How could she do something to let Dongxu down?"

Jia Zhang was frightened by Yi Zhonghai's momentum. She didn't dare to speak anymore. She just glared at Qin Huairu fiercely, then turned around and went back to the house.

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said to Qin Huairu: "Huairu, don't be sad, I believe you."

Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai with gratitude, then returned to her room silently.

It was late at night, and Qin Huairu lay in bed, but she couldn't fall asleep. She thought about what had just happened, and her heart was full of grievances and helplessness. She didn't know what her future would be like, nor did she know how to face Jia Zhang and Sha Zhu.

Suddenly, she heard a series of crackling sounds coming from the window paper again...

The noise on the window paper made Qin Huairu's heart jump suddenly. She held her breath and pricked up her ears. The sound was light and continuous, like something scratching gently. Could it be a mouse? She thought to herself, but she didn't think it was possible. A mouse wouldn't make such a quiet sound.

Fear entangled her heart like a vine. She clutched the corner of the quilt tightly, her whole body stiff. The room was dark, and only a faint moonlight came through the hole in the window paper, allowing her to barely distinguish the outline of the room.

The sound came again, this time clearer, like the sound of fingernails scratching on paper. Qin Huairu's heart beat faster, and she felt as if her throat was strangled by an invisible hand, and it became difficult to breathe.

She threw back the quilt, mustered up her courage, and walked towards the window. The moonlight shone through the hole on her pale face, reflecting the fear in her eyes. With trembling hands, she gently poked a hole in the window paper.

In the moonlight, she saw a face. A man's face.

The face was stuck on the window paper, peeping at everything in the house through the small hole. With the weak light, Qin Huairu recognized the owner of the face - Sha Zhu.

Seeing Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, and then a surge of anger surged in her heart. She suddenly tore open the window paper and shouted angrily: "Sha Zhu! What are you doing!"

Sha Zhu was frightened by Qin Huairu's behavior. He took a few steps back in panic and stammered, "I...I...I..."

"What are you talking about! Why are you lying on my window in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? You're a peeping Tom!" Qin Huairu could no longer suppress her anger, which erupted like a volcano.

Sha Zhu's face turned red. He hesitated for a long time before he managed to utter a sentence: "I...I...I'm worried about you..."

"Worried about me? Do you need to lean on the window to peek at me if you are worried about me? Who do you think I am?" Qin Huairu's tears burst out. She felt greatly insulted.

When Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu crying, he suddenly panicked. He hurried forward to comfort her, but was pushed away by Qin Huairu.

"Don't touch me! Go away! Get out of here!" Qin Huairu cried, pointed at the door and yelled hysterically.

Sha Zhu was frightened by Qin Huairu's reaction. He stood there, looking at her at a loss. He wanted to explain and apologize, but he didn't know how to say it.

"Go away! Why don't you leave!" Qin Huairu's crying became louder and louder, attracting the attention of the neighbors around.

Soon, several lights were lit in the yard, and people came out of their houses and gathered around Qin Huairu's house.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai heard the noise and rushed over. He saw Qin Huairu crying and Sha Zhu standing aside with an embarrassed look on his face, so he hurried forward to ask about the situation.

"What's going on? Huairu, what's wrong with you?" Yi Zhonghai asked with concern.

When Qin Huairu saw Yi Zhonghai coming, she felt like she had found a savior. She hugged Yi Zhonghai and cried, "Uncle, Shazhu...he...he peeped at me!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, his face suddenly darkened. He turned to look at Sha Zhu and asked sternly, "Sha Zhu, what's going on?"

Sha Zhu's face turned even redder. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but he didn't know what to say. He just murmured, "I...I...I'm worried about her..."

"Worried about her? Do you need to lean on the window to peek at her if you are worried about her? You are being a hooligan!" Yi Zhonghai's tone became even harsher.

The neighbors around also blamed Sha Zhu. Some said he was morally corrupt, some said he had bad intentions, and some said he was a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.

Sha Zhu was accused by everyone and couldn't even lift his head. He felt like he had fallen into a bottomless abyss and couldn't climb out. He wanted to explain, but no one was willing to listen to him.
