To Wu Zhenhai's utter surprise, a quick investigation revealed that he had already been cheated on with a woman.
When his subordinates told him that Zhou Xu was having an affair with someone else, Old Cabbage Stalk thought he had misheard.
He's not old enough to satisfy Zhou Xu to that extent!
No, there must be a mistake in the query.
He berated his subordinate—"I told you to hurry up and check, I didn't tell you to check the wrong thing!"
There must be something wrong with receiving a report in just one day.
Only a trusted confidant could investigate such a secret matter for him.
This trusted confidant was a distant cousin of his, named Wu Guang.
Wu Guang gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, there's no need to investigate this matter. I know."
Wu Zhenhai: "..."
You know, how could I not know?
"... Zhou Xu has become involved with one of the guards in the manor."
a bolt from the blue.
Wu Zhenhai didn't believe it.
But he also felt that Zhou Xu was capable of doing such a thing.
Wu Guang explained that he often accompanied Wu Zhenhai to and from the Zhou Family, so he became acquainted with the Zhou Family's guards.
Wu Zhenhai is still struggling.
How could anyone tell you something so private?
Wu Guang said, "That Gao Dasheng, he's from our hometown, so we're good friends. He told me privately that one day he saw Zhou Xu kissing and touching a guard...!"
Wu Zhenhai slapped him across the face. "Nonsense!"
Wu Guang covered his face and choked on his words, "That's exactly how it is!"
He originally thought that since the adults were just playing around, he shouldn't cause them any trouble.
But now he felt more and more that something was wrong; the adults were paying far too much attention to Zhou Xu.
This is not a good sign.
Wu Zhenhai stared at him with bloodshot eyes.
Wu Guang went all out, gritting his teeth and saying, "This isn't over yet. Later, I went to ask Gao Dasheng, and he said it didn't happen, that I remembered it wrong."
Wu Zhenhai, like a drowning man, suddenly grasped at a straw.
It's a rumor!
Someone is slandering Zhou Xu.
What was that guy's name again? Gao Dasheng? Okay, just you wait!
Boasting about his woman is just asking for trouble.
But before he could get angry, Wu Guang added, "I felt something was off about this. How could he deny it after saying it? So I kept pressing him for answers. You'd never guess..."
Wu Zhenhai might not have guessed it, but upon hearing this, a thunderbolt suddenly struck his mind.
Then he heard Wu Guang say, "Zhou Xu discovered that Gao Dasheng was spying on her and the guard's secret rendezvous, so she seduced Gao Dasheng as well!"
Wu Guang was so angry he couldn't continue speaking.
Wu Zhenhai's face flushed red, veins throbbing on his forehead. "Then why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Your subordinate, your subordinate..." Wu Guang stammered, "Your subordinate felt that you hadn't visited him for a while, perhaps you had let it go, so..."
Which man wants to be cuckolded?
Although his name is Wu Guang, he can't afford to embarrass the adults!
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xu came looking for him again.
Wu Guang thought to himself, "Our adults have already let you go, let's wait..."
You unfaithful woman, you've met with setbacks.
As a result, Zhou Xu simply beckoned with her finger, and her master, like a lapdog, fawned over her again.
He could see it all; Zhou Xu was completely using the adults. Why couldn't someone as intelligent as the adults see through it?
Wu Zhenhai asked him to investigate, and he did.
He went to find Gao Dasheng and found out about several guards who had ambiguous relationships with Zhou Xu — Zhou Xu didn't have the opportunity to meet more men outside, so she specifically targeted the women near her.
Wu Guang immediately provided several more names.
Thus, Wu Zhenhai's "waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump" scene came about that night.
He hid in the shadows and, by the moonlight, clearly saw Zhou Xu's intimate interaction with the guard.
Wu Zhenhai was furious.
How dare Zhou Xu!
Wu Zhenhai rode his horse to one of his private residences with Zhou Xu, roughly pulled her off the horse, practically dragged her into the house, and threw her onto the bed.
Zhou Xu adjusted to a more comfortable position—having her hands tied behind her back was uncomfortable no matter what.
"Untie me first," she said. "The whip is rough and prickly. If you want to play with it, change to a strip of cloth."
Wu Zhenhai's face turned ashen. "Explain yourself! Zhou Xu, if you can't give me a clear explanation today, I'll beat you to death!"
What man could endure such an utter disgrace!
Zhou Xu was nervous, but she didn't lose her composure.
She feigned innocence, raising an eyebrow and saying, "I don't know what you want me to say. Uncle Wu, could you give me a hint?"
Unable to get up, she nudged Wu Zhenhai with her foot, her eyes sparkling with an unmistakable seductive intent.
Wu Zhenhai raised his hand and slapped her ankle, his eyes bloodshot as he searched for something.
He saw the feather duster stuck in the vase, picked it up, and pointed it at Zhou Xu: "Do you need another hint?"
Zhou Xu winced in pain, but smiled broadly, "So Uncle Wu was planning something big today. This won't do, it'll leave marks. How about you try a silver needle or a candle?"
Wu Zhenhai: "You, you shameless!"
Especially when he thought about how she also faced other men in the same way, a crazy thought of taking her down with him arose within him.
Zhou Xu said casually, "What's the point of saving face in bed? When it comes to matters between men and women, once you're dressed, who still has the nerve to go to bed with their clothes on?"
Her heart was pounding, but she dared not reveal a word.
She must not move unless the enemy moves.
Only she knew that her back was soaked with cold sweat.
No matter how ruthless she is, it's only in her heart; Wu Zhenhai, on the other hand, truly trampled on countless lives.
Wu Zhenhai never imagined that one day he would be humiliated by a woman.
Is this the retribution for belittling women?
"Then when you were having affairs with other men, where was your shame?!" Wu Zhenhai's voice changed.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xu breathed a long sigh of relief.
She wondered what it was about; it turned out to be this.
She came back to life!
"You saw it?" Zhou Xu raised an eyebrow.
Her calm and composed demeanor only fueled Wu Zhenhai's anger.
Don't you have any shame?!
Zhou Xu smiled.
She's a beauty that's one in a hundred, as long as she doesn't demean herself.
What's even more captivating are those mesmerizing eyes.
"Uncle Wu, if I had any sense of shame, would I still be hanging around with you? That's just you being hypocritical, isn't it?"
This guy is really a tough nut to crack!
Wu Zhenhai gripped her small, fair chin tightly, almost crushing it. "You dare to have an affair!"
"If I don't leave the house, how will Uncle get his way?" Zhou Xu licked her lips, wrapped her legs around his waist, her breath sweet as orchids, and her eyes alluring, "Uncle..."
Wu Zhenhai immediately felt the changes in his body.
No woman has ever made him feel like he's being played with in bed.
--Except for Zhou Xu.
This naturally alluring enchantress!
He almost couldn't resist the urge to come first, and then interrogate her.
But he held back.
He grabbed a feather duster and slammed it against the bedside. "Give me an explanation! Zhou Xu, right now!"
