Chapter 378: Chapter 378: My Brother and I Are Innocent

At first glance, there appeared to be nothing valuable in this room. If there were valuables, they must be in the cupboard, which was locked. As long as the lock was intact, everything should be all right.

She sighed with relief in her heart.

However, she still had an angry expression on her face, "I warn you, don’t get any crooked ideas! Who do you think you are, to be fit to enter my sister’s room? And touching my sister’s cupboard? Laosan is really muddle-headed, trusting someone like you to come in."

"I’m telling you, regarding today’s matter, when my sister returns tonight, I will have her check thoroughly. If nothing is missing from her room, then this matter can be dropped. But if there is anything missing from my sister’s room, I’m telling you, even Laosan won’t be able to protect you!"

Lady Sun’s gaze shifted slightly, now that she had the prescription in her hands. Once Wang Yonggui returned and the two brothers compared notes, the truth would inevitably come out.

That would be troublesome.

The most important thing now was to make sure Wang Yongfu couldn’t speak up to accuse anyone.

With this thought, the old animosity toward Lady Lin, who had scratched her face with a bamboo broom that day, welled up in her heart.

Immediately, an idea formed.

Suddenly, her eyes reddened, tears on the brink of falling, and she put on an appearance of someone who had suffered great injustice. She choked up, "I know, all of you look down on a widow like me. I will leave right now, so as not to dirty the young lady’s room——"

Just as she took a step to leave, her leg gave way, her body swayed, and with a cry of "Aiyo," she collapsed onto Wang Yongfu.

Wang Yongfu was startled, feeling a soft bundle crash into his arms. The place where they touched felt as if it had been scalded, and he wanted to push her away. But as his hand reached out, he immediately drew it back.

He tried to step back, but Lady Sun clung to Wang Yongfu’s arm like a boneless snake, with a delicate cry of pain, "Big brother, my leg hurts, I can’t stand, please support me——"

"Stand up properly and speak properly. What sort of behavior is this?" Wang Yongfu truly didn’t know where to put his hands.

Especially with Lady Sun, who in the process of leaning and falling, somehow loosened her clothes, baring a patch of snowy whiteness at her chest.

Lady Sun’s face and hands might have been sunburnt these days, but her body remained a white skin. At a glance, it was blindingly pale.

Wang Yongfu didn’t dare look anymore and just raised his head toward the ceiling while protesting, "Stay away from me, what kind of decency is this?"

But Lady Sun was not ready to give up. Seeing how Wang Yongfu was unable to resist, she pushed even harder, while continuously saying, "Big brother, I’m trying to stand, wait, aiyo——" Then her hands, at some unknown point, had reached Wang Yongfu’s waist.

Wang Yongfu’s body shuddered, his voice tense, "Where are your hands wandering?"

With a smile on her face, Lady Sun’s words were full of grievance, "Big brother, I need to stand up straight, I need to hold on to something! Please bear with it a little longer, I’ll be fine in a moment!"

Wang Yongfu simply shut his eyes, his face hot with embarrassment.

In his entire life, he had only been with Lady Lin, and had never encountered such a situation. He really didn’t know what to do.

He kept asking Lady Sun to stand properly.

In the past, with just a little flirtation from Lady Sun, men would leap at her like dogs upon seeing a bone, their eyes red in eagerness.

But this Wang Yongfu, even though she was half yielding already, still kept his eyes closed, refusing to take another look.

Her heart filled with increasing annoyance and jealousy.

Lady Lin, just a common country bumpkin, broad and ordinary-looking, old and rough, without a hint of femininity.

And her man wouldn’t even spare her an extra glance for someone like her.

Why? Why does Lady Lin get such a good man?

Lady Sun’s eyes flashed with malice, "Lady Lin had scarred her most important face, and now she wanted to take the man Lady Lin valued most.

With this thought, her hands became restless, and began to wander up from Wang Yongfu’s waist.

Wang Yongfu shuddered as his blood rushed, and in his panic, he pushed Lady Sun outwards, "You... what are you doing?"

Lady Sun had anticipated this move from Wang Yongfu and clung tightly to his waist, rubbing her chest against his arm and cooed, "Big brother, why won’t you spare me a glance? Do I not look as pretty as your wife? Is my skin not as fair as hers? Or is it because I’m not soft enough, not firm enough?"

As she spoke, she grabbed Wang Yongfu’s hand and pressed it against her chest.

"Big brother, see for yourself if I’m fair, if I’m soft -- touch me..."

Wang Yongfu had never seen such a bold woman and was stunned for a moment.

Just then, an angry woman’s voice came from the doorway.

"Lady Sun! Husband, what are you two doing?" It was Lady Lin.

Lady Lin had come back to fetch some tea water; it was hot, and the tea water they brought to the fields in the morning had already been finished.

Old Granny Zhang originally considered sending Lady Jiang back, also to urge Laosan to hurry back to work.

But upon reflection, considering Lady Jiang’s meek nature, she wouldn’t have made much difference had she gone back, so it would be better to send Lady Lin. Lady Lin, who was looking to prove herself at the time, was also more fierce.

So, she assigned the task to Lady Lin.

When Lady Lin returned, she found the courtyard gate wide open.

Not a soul was in the yard, her husband was nowhere to be found, and although Lady Sun’s door was open, nobody was seen.

It was strange, and upon hearing Lady Sun’s voice,

She silently approached the door of her sister-in-law’s room. Peering in, she saw Wang Yongfu’s hands on that whore Lady Sun’s chest.

Instantly, she felt like her lungs would explode with rage.

Only then did Wang Yongfu snap back to reality. Turning his head and seeing Lady Lin’s eyes red with fury, he panicked and, without concern for propriety, pushed Lady Sun away.

He was about to explain, "Xinghua, it’s not what it looks like --"

Lady Sun, pushed onto the ground by Wang Yongfu, wore a pained expression on her face, but a hint of satisfaction flickered in her eyes.

Through her tears, she pleaded, "Sister-in-law, you’ve misunderstood, there’s nothing between your husband and me. It’s just that my leg hurt and I nearly fell, he was just helping me up, sister-in-law, please don’t get the wrong idea, it’s the truth! There’s nothing between your husband and me..."

Her words only added fuel to the fire. The more she spoke, the more it seemed to Lady Lin that there was something between Lady Sun and Wang Yongfu.

Lady Lin stepped forward and yanked Lady Sun’s hair, "Cut the crap! Do you think I’m blind? Helping you by touching your breast? You shameless hussy, any man that comes by, you try to seduce. I’ll tear your face off —"

With that, she slapped her across the face.

Lady Lin’s hand was strong; with a slap, Lady Sun’s face swelled on one side.

Still not satisfied, she mounted Lady Sun and started beating and cursing and pinching her.

Lady Sun, covering her face and crying, tried to mumble explanations, which only convinced Lady Lin more that their affair had been going on for some time.

"That’s nonsense! I... we haven’t done anything, Xinghua..." Wang Yongfu felt utterly wronged and hurried to explain.
