He Yuzhu stood there, stunned, staring at everything before him.

With a forceful tug from Qin Huairu, the buttons on her clothes popped off one after another with a series of "clack clack clack" sounds.

When He Yuzhu saw the faded cotton undershirt, he began to tremble slightly.

However, Qin Huairu didn't give him time to react and pulled hard again.

He Yuzhu covered his eyes in horror. If Zhou Weiguo hadn't noticed the light shining through his fingers, he would have almost believed that he was a gentleman.

Just as Zhou Weiguo was about to remind He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu suddenly turned around and tried to run away, muttering, "I can't let Lili down, I can't let Lili down."

Qin Huairu, however, had already gone mad, hugging him tightly from behind and murmuring, "Zhu Zi, good Zhu Zi, please keep Qin-jie company, okay?"

He Yuzhu's mind went blank for a moment, and he stood there dumbfounded, letting Qin Huairu keep stroking him.

Just then, the sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Weiguo's heart tightened. He quickly stepped forward and struck Qin Huairu hard on the back of the neck, causing her to instantly collapse to the ground.

He Yuzhu finally came to his senses and looked at Qin Huairu on the ground, panicking.

His hands stretched out and then pulled back, as if reason and evil were fiercely fighting.

A moment later, He Yuzhu trembled and, with his eyes closed, picked up Qin Huairu.

This action startled Zhou Weiguo. If He Yuzhu really lost control, he would have to intervene again to stop her.

However, when He Yuzhu carried Qin Huairu to the bedside, he accidentally tripped over a stool, throwing Qin Huairu onto the bed and falling on top of her.

After a brief pause, He Yuzhu stood up in a fluster, his face flushed, trembling as he touched his face and lips. Then his eyes turned red, and he looked extremely anxious.

Seeing this, Zhou Weiguo was also helpless. The scene in front of him was simply too devastating for a young man like Zhu Zi.

Left with no other choice, he could only gently blow a breath onto He Yuzhu's neck.

He Yuzhu froze, the hairs on his neck standing on end. He looked around frantically, then stared in terror at Lao Jia's photo on the wall. At that moment, he even had the feeling that Lao Jia was looking at him with a sinister smile.

This series of strange actions left Zhou Weiguo completely baffled. He saw He Yuzhu muttering something in a panic as he rushed to the kitchen, grabbed something and threw it on Qin Huairu's bed, then stormed out of the room.

Zhou Weiguo looked at the things on the bed and thought to himself: Who said that Sha Zhu was pure?

Just as he was about to check on Qin Huairu, he heard He Yuzhu shouting outside, "Uncle! Uncle! Open the door!"

Zhou Weiguo, disregarding Qin Huairu, used his spatial abilities to quickly return to the east courtyard and deactivated his invisibility.

As soon as the courtyard gate opened, He Yuzhu rushed in in a panic, grabbed him, and ran into the next room: "Uncle! Uncle! Help!"

Seeing the flustered He Yuzhu in front of him, Zhou Weiguo was dumbfounded and couldn't help but raise his hand and slap him. He Yuzhu was stunned by the slap.

"Speak slowly, don't make a fuss."

These words only made He Yuzhu more anxious: "Uncle! I've been poisoned! Or maybe I've seen a ghost! If I've been poisoned, it must be that kind of drug! Help me, or I'm going to lose control! I almost... I can't let Lili down! No, it could also be Old Jia! He wouldn't let me touch Qin Huairu, and he even blew air into my neck, it scared me to death!"

Zhou Weiguo suppressed a laugh and slapped him again: "What medicine? You're perfectly fine now, aren't you? When did you lose control?"

He Yuzhu was stunned by the beating. He patted himself down, muttering to himself, "I'm alright? I'm alright? Wait, was I poisoned or did I see a ghost?"

Zhou Weiguo slapped him again, this time with even more force: "Tell me what happened! If you dare to hide anything from me, I'll beat you to death!"

He Yuzhu shrank his neck and stammered out the story.

After listening, Zhou Weiguo thought to himself: This kid is honest enough. Although he skipped the part where they were cheek to cheek and the part where he almost succumbed, he didn't hide the rest. He even clearly said that he threw the rolling pin onto the bed at the end.

Zhou Weiguo looked at He Yuzhu with a puzzled expression and asked, "Yuzhu, tell me, what did you mean by throwing the rolling pin at Qin Huairu?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu looked suspicious and said, "Uncle, I didn't mean anything. I was just thinking, what if it really is Old Jia who comes back and sees Sister Qin... um... Qin Huairu's appearance and can't hold back? Sister Qin... um, Qin Huairu has a rolling pin, so she can defend herself, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo looked at He Yuzhu, whose face was full of self-righteousness, and couldn't help but curse himself as a scumbag.

After a long pause, he looked at He Yuzhu and said earnestly, "Zhuzi, don't think about those things. Don't promote feudal superstitions. What you need to understand is the treacherous nature of people. Did you just tell the deaf old lady about getting your marriage certificate tomorrow?"

He Yuzhu shrank back: "Uncle, I was so excited that I blurted something out, but I definitely didn't finish! Believe me, I definitely didn't finish!"

Zhou Weiguo rolled his eyes at He Yuzhu before nodding: "That's right, you didn't finish your sentence, but that deaf old lady isn't stupid. Given your state and your words, how could she not guess? You've most likely been drugged by Qin Huairu or the deaf old lady, but they probably messed up the procedure and drank the drug themselves. There are no gods or ghosts; you're just scaring yourself. It's called 'If you haven't done anything wrong during the day, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door at night.' Weren't your thoughts just now because you had wicked intentions?"

He Yuzhu hung his head dejectedly, putting on an innocent look, like a child caught red-handed.

He stammered, "Uncle, if I really take that kind of medicine, will it be like in the stories... will I explode and die if I don't take it in time? Is that true? If it is, wouldn't Sister Qin be..."

Looking at He Yuzhu's cowardly appearance, Zhou Weiguo reached out and lightly tapped him on the head, teasingly saying, "What, you want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? With your skills, you'd be throwing good money after bad, never to return. Are you still going to get your marriage certificate tomorrow? Are you still going to marry that virgin Yu Li? Why don't you go help Qin Huairu now and just get your marriage certificate with her tomorrow? Oh, and while you're at it, go check on the old lady in the backyard and see if she needs any help?"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu shuddered, his eyes widening in shock and disbelief as he stared at Zhou Weiguo. He stammered, "Uncle, please don't scare me! I'm going to sleep now, I'll sleep here tonight, I won't go back over there. Uncle, please lock the gate to the courtyard tightly, I... I'll go to sleep right now!"

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
