Standing behind Lu Qing were several ordinary residents of the Central Courtyard, all of whom were awakened by Lu Qing's gentle voice.

Lu Qing told them that two sneaky people appeared in the central courtyard at night, and he didn't know if they were thieves from outside.

Hearing this, they immediately became alert and followed Lu Qing to check the situation.

What they never expected was that the sneaky people were not thieves, but Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.

When they saw the figures of Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu clearly, Qin Huairu had already thrown herself into Yi Zhonghai's arms. Not only did Yi Zhonghai not push her away, but he hugged her together and even said some ambiguous words to each other.

This scene completely overturned their understanding of Yi Zhonghai.

They could never have imagined that the old man in the courtyard, who always claimed to be morally upright and fair, would be involved with a young widow like Qin Huairu.

After all, Yi Zhonghai is old enough to be Qin Huairu's father, and Qin Huairu is actually willing to have anything to do with him?

This makes people feel that she is really too hungry to be picky about food.

Qin Huairu covered her feet and her eyes widened in anger when she heard Yi Zhonghai's words of shirking responsibility.

Is Yi Zhonghai planning to put all the blame on himself?

Just like he pushed all the blame onto He Yuzhu yesterday, he didn't care about other people's situations at all and was only concerned with preserving himself.

As long as something goes wrong, he will sell others out without saying a word.

At this moment, Qin Huairu finally saw the reality clearly: there was no point in relying on Yi Zhonghai.

He would only betray her in times of crisis.

If she didn't fight back in time, her reputation would probably be completely ruined.

"You're talking nonsense! It was clearly you who molested me!" Qin Huairu endured the pain in her feet, angrily got up from the ground, and fought back without hesitation.

She turned to Lu Qing and the other residents, her voice tearful, "You saw it just now, he was the one holding me tightly. If you hadn't arrived in time, I really don't know what I would have done! I never thought that the old man I had always respected would be such a person."

After saying that, Qin Huairu began to wipe her tears, looking extremely aggrieved.

Lu Qing secretly sighed in his heart that Qin Huairu was really a smart woman.

She knows how to use her strengths and how to take advantage of situations.

The current situation is very unfavorable to her, but she chooses to stand on Lu Qing's side, obviously because she knows that this may be her only way out.

If she didn't do this, she would most likely be completely betrayed by Yi Zhonghai.

Qin Huairu's words not only caught Lu Qing's attention, but also resonated with other residents.

They never imagined that Yi Zhonghai was such a person.

At this moment, everyone's trust has been shaken, and many people have begun to feel doubt and disdain for Yi Zhonghai.

Facing Qin Huairu's counterattack, Yi Zhonghai panicked and shook his head repeatedly to deny: "No! It's not like that! I didn't do what she said, don't believe her!"

Lu Qing asked calmly, "If I don't believe her, then should I believe yours?"

Yi Zhonghai was obviously frightened by the situation and explained anxiously: "I am the eldest uncle of the Intermediate Court. How could I do such a thing!"

If it were in the past, everyone might have believed him.

However, after the incident at Lu Qing's house during the day, everyone has serious doubts about Yi Zhonghai's image of fairness.

At this moment, after hearing Yi Zhonghai's explanation, the people around him just smiled reluctantly, and no one was willing to speak for him anymore.

Their attitude is very clear - Yi Zhonghai's words have now lost most of their credibility.

It was not just because He Yuzhu had exposed his problems before, but now the ambiguity between him and Qin Huairu was caught red-handed by them.

Want to defend yourself? That's impossible.

Lu Qing had spent so much effort setting up the plan just for the current situation, and at this moment he felt very satisfied.

For the current situation, he has achieved the expected results.

He said calmly, "Master, you designed Qin Huairu to frame me. It seems that you found inspiration from your own behavior, right?"

Yi Zhonghai was extremely shocked to find that his words no longer carried any weight.

Hearing Lu Qing's words, he narrowed his eyes slightly, with anger and uneasiness in his tone: "Lu Qing, you just want to kill me, right?"

Lu Qing chuckled and said, "Uncle, you are exaggerating. What do you mean I want to kill you? I just heard some noises over here and was worried that a thief might come in, so I called the neighbors to help check. How could I have known I would run into you? If I had known it was you, would I have let you go?"

The neighbors standing behind Lu Qing also felt that Yi Zhonghai's reaction was a bit unreasonable, and they all nodded in agreement: "That's right, we came here because we heard there was a thief, we didn't target you at all."

Another neighbor also said: "Uncle, you can't blame others for what you did. Don't you think you did something wrong?"

Their conversation attracted more people's attention, and gradually more residents came over to check out the situation.

The third uncle in the front yard, Yan Bugui, also rushed to the scene. After seeing Lu Qing, he walked up to him and asked, "What is going on? What happened again?"

Lu Qing smiled coldly, pointed at Qin Huairu, and said, "Widow Qin was molested by a master."

"What?!" Lu Qing's words were like a bombshell, which immediately shocked the people around him. Everyone widened their eyes and looked at Yi Zhonghai in disbelief.

Yan Bugui was even more incredulous. He opened his mouth wide and looked at Yi Zhonghai in disbelief.

Didn't he always claim to be righteous and moral? How could he do such a thing and have an affair with Qin Huairu?

"Lu Qing, stop talking nonsense here!" Yi Zhonghai felt a splitting headache. He never expected things to develop to this point.

He hadn't recovered from the humiliation of the day yet, and such a big scandal happened in the evening, which almost made him collapse.

Lu Qing looked at Qin Huairu and said calmly, "This is what Qin Huairu said herself. It has nothing to do with me."

Qin Huairu met Lu Qing's gaze and knew in her heart that she had no way out.

If he didn't do as Lu Qing said, he would get into trouble.

She knew clearly the difference between being molested and being involved in an improper relationship between men and women, and the choice was obvious.

Qin Huairu lowered her head in grievance, tears flashing in her eyes: "It's true, they saw it clearly just now."

Several neighbors nearby nodded in agreement: "Yes, when we came, we saw them hugging each other, and Qin Huairu was struggling."

"Yes, I knew at first glance that he was molesting her."

Hearing these words, Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale instantly, his eyes widened with fear.

He opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but he couldn't find any convincing words.

He really wanted to continue arguing with Lu Qing, but the current situation made it impossible for him to refute.

Not only Lu Qing was present tonight, but other residents as well, and everyone witnessed it all.

Under such circumstances, he was unable to convince others to believe in himself, and instead seemed even more powerless.

Lu Qing said coldly: "Master, don't you always teach us to respect and love each other? But you actually used your status to force Qin Huairu, this is too much."

Yi Zhonghai roared: "Lu Qing, shut up!"

Lu Qing smiled, with sarcasm and complacency in his eyes, and was extremely satisfied with the current situation: "Uncle, at this point, don't you have anything else to say?"
