Zhang Tao obviously noticed that something was wrong and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

He Yushui suddenly came back to his senses, nervously grabbed Zhang Tao's arm, and said hastily: "No...no problem, let's go first and ignore him."

Although Zhang Tao has a simple personality, as a policeman, he is very alert. He Yushui's panic reaction made him more suspicious whether there was something wrong with Lu Qing's words.

"But the matter has not been resolved yet. Let's wait until it is resolved before leaving." Zhang Tao was unwilling to give up halfway, and his sense of responsibility drove him to stay.

He Yushui quickly turned to Yan Bugui and said in a hurried tone: "Uncle, everyone says that Lu Qing's medical expenses are indeed high. Please stop making things difficult for him, okay?"

She just hoped that Yan Bugui would give up and stop making trouble.

However, He Yushui's words completely angered Yan Bugui.

"Yu Shui, what do you mean? Are you on Lu Qing's side?" Yan Bugui was indignant. He didn't expect that she would suddenly speak to Lu Qing.

"I... I was just repeating what everyone said. I didn't mean anything else." He Yushui explained quickly, fearing that he would anger Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui was reluctant to uncover the past affairs of He Yushui's family, but now that he saw that she was on Lu Qing's side, his suppressed anger finally erupted.

"Yu Shui, think carefully! Your eldest brother's house has been occupied by Lu Qing, and your family has no place to live. You are still speaking for him? Are you confused?" Yan Bugui said angrily.

He Yushui's face turned pale instantly and she looked at Zhang Tao in horror. The thing she feared most finally happened.

Zhang Tao was surprised when he heard this and asked in confusion: "The house was occupied by him? You have no house? The house in the backyard..."

Yan Bugui simply told the whole story, pointing to the house nearby and said, "This clinic originally belonged to her eldest brother. Because her eldest brother lost the bet with Lu Qing, the house belonged to Lu Qing. The house in the backyard belongs to the deaf old lady, and it doesn't belong to her eldest brother at all."

He continued to reveal more, "That old lady has no children, she is not their grandmother at all. A few days ago she asked everyone to help her buy candy, just because she didn't want us to tell you the truth, she was deliberately lying to you!"

Zhang Tao's face became increasingly gloomy. He had thought that today was a beautiful and special day, but he found himself deceived by a carefully woven lie.

Zhang Tao looked at He Yushui coldly and asked, "Is what he said true?"

He Yushui was in a panic and quickly explained: "Zhang Tao, don't listen to his nonsense! I did... I did it, but I was just afraid that others would look down on me!"

Zhang Tao's tone was full of disappointment: "When did I ever say I looked down on you? It's your behavior right now that makes me very disappointed!"

He Yushui apologized hastily: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I was just afraid that you would feel that I have no one to rely on at home..."

Zhang Tao said coldly: "I always thought you were an honest person, but I didn't expect you to lie to me."

At this moment, He Yushui felt a great sense of uneasiness. From the corner of her eye, she saw Lu Qing crossing his arms, looking at her with a smile, his eyes full of mockery.

She suddenly felt that all her efforts and lies collapsed at this moment.

"Enough, stop talking." Zhang Tao's face was gloomy. Anger and humiliation were mixed in his heart. He felt extremely painful to be deceived by someone he trusted.

Finally, he shook off He Yushui and walked out of the courtyard quickly.

He Yushui wanted to chase him, but found that Zhang Tao had disappeared. She stood there, at a loss, with a blank heart.

Yan Bugui also felt that things were out of control. He didn't expect that a few words of truth would cause Zhang Tao to leave.

Now that Zhang Tao is gone, how will his problems be solved? Who will speak for him?

He stared at Lu Qing unwillingly and said angrily: "Lu Qing, don't be complacent, this matter is not over yet!"

Lu Qing crossed his arms and responded with a faint smile: "Bad marriage, be careful of retribution."

Yan Bugui snorted and turned away angrily.

The neighbors who were watching gradually dispersed, and soon He Yushui was the only one left standing there in the yard, with a dazed look on his face.

Lu Qing walked slowly towards her, looked at her embarrassed appearance, and said with a smile: "I warned you a long time ago not to provoke me. Now look, you are in trouble, right?"

He Yushui finally came to his senses and glared at Lu Qing angrily, his eyes full of blame.

Lu Qing shrugged indifferently and said with a smile: "Why are you glaring at me? It's not me who exposed it. Don't forget, the truth was told by others."

He Yushui said anxiously: "If it weren't for you, how could I stop the Third Master?"

"Me? What does this have to do with me?" Lu Qing said indifferently.

"I was just afraid that you would expose the truth, so I asked the third uncle to stop making trouble. Who knew..." He Yushui covered her face, feeling that the more she feared something, the more it would happen.

Lu Qing said slowly: "You have to bear the consequences of your own decisions, don't blame others."

He Yushui put down her hand, glared at Lu Qing fiercely, and was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"However, judging from what happened between you and your boyfriend just now, this marriage is probably going to be called off, right?" Lu Qing said nonchalantly.

He Yushui's face changed and he suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.

Zhang Tao was so angry just now, would he really break up with me?

She shouted angrily: "If he really breaks up with me, I won't let you go! This is all your fault, you have to take responsibility!"

Lu Qing looked her up and down, showing a meaningful smile, and replied lightly: "Okay, as long as you are willing to find me, I will of course take responsibility."

"You!" He Yushui's face suddenly changed with anger, and he turned and ran away like a frightened rabbit.

After running out of the yard, she still felt her heart beating faster and her cheeks burning.

What surprised her even more was that she felt a sense of inexplicable expectation in her heart - Lu Qing was clearly just joking, but she actually had a feeling that she hoped what he said was true!

She shook her head vigorously, trying to calm herself down.

The most important thing now is to coax Zhang Tao back as soon as possible.
