Everyone was suddenly stunned, unwittingly staring wide-eyed and gaping.
Zheng Kuan, broad-shouldered and rotund, even though he was missing an arm, still belonged to the strong type. Imagining the power it must’ve taken to knock him down, one could infer how strong Xiaobai was.
Zheng Kuan thought to himself this was bad. If he hadn’t come out to testify to begin with, then accusations of him being involved with Wang Baozhu wouldn’t have mattered much—after all, that girl was no saint. If she was willing to marry him, he would’ve wed her; if not, he would’ve let it be. But he had to testify, and now... wasn’t this clear defiance against Yang Ruxin?
But who could have anticipated that little minx was plotting against the Yang family? What was even more unexpected was that Yang Dani, having severed ties with the Yang family, would yet choose to act. And even more surprising was how formidable Yang Dani was.
After knocking down Zheng Kuan, Xiaobai hopped aside and whimpered twice at Yang Ruxin.
"You beast, why tackle me?" Zheng Kuan, guilty and defensive, bellowed, "Are you picking on a disabled man?"
Xiaobai ignored his angry shout and instead growled at him, baring teeth in a grimace.
Zheng Kuan was so frightened that he shivered and dared not speak again.
"What’s this..." Yang Mancang looked towards Yang Ruxin.
"Lady Baozhu who was previously asleep, it wasn’t Yang Rusong but Uncle Zheng," Yang Ruxin said with a smile, "Because the scent of him holding the lady is still lingering on him..."
The crowd was shaken once more, Wang Baozhu and Zheng Kuan? How could this be? Wang Baozhu was only three years older than Zheng Kuan’s daughter Xiaohua—this...
"No, you’ve got it wrong..." Wang Baozhu quickly shook her head, "It’s not him..."
"What’s all the fuss about?" At this point, Dao Xuzi walked out impatiently, "Keep it up and I’ll poison every one of you into silence..."
Silence immediately fell over the surroundings. Everyone previously thought of this old man as a relative of the Gu family, but now they knew he was not just that but a Divine Doctor, and their attitudes quietly changed to one of profound respect. Some even involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Do you not know your noise has disturbed this old man’s sleep?" Dao Xuzi scanned the crowd disapprovingly, "It’s just a man and a woman sleeping together. What is there to fuss about?" He glanced at Yang Ruxin, "Have you been calling me master for nothing?"
Yang Ruxin spread his hands innocently.
Pointing at Yang Rusong, Dao Xuzi stated, "What is all this commotion? He’s still a Chuchu."
The expressions of the people present abruptly turned peculiar. Chuchu? That meant he hadn’t slept with a woman yet. So, that said... all eyes fell on Wang Baozhu.
"And you, girl, you are already showing signs of a slippery fetus..." Dao Xuzi looked disdainfully at Wang Baozhu. "Already pregnant for two months and still fooling around with men? Do you not value your life or the future of the child?"
"What?" Feng Caie burst into anger upon hearing this, "You disgrace! Who knows how many men you’ve been with, yet you dare associate yourself with my Rusong. You’ve lost your damned mind..."
The Wang family members were also dumbfounded. How did it come to this?
"You’re talking nonsense, I’m not pregnant, I’m not..." Wang Baozhu was on the verge of breaking down after Dao Xuzi’s words. She had started her period quite early, but no one had ever told her what a girl should be cautious of, nor did she take any notice. She hadn’t gotten her period this month but didn’t pay attention, thinking the spotting earlier was her period coming. But now... she couldn’t admit to it.
