Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

In fact, Zhou Xin had already caught up. He saw that Zhou was indeed scolded, and secretly cursed Zhou's stupidity in his heart.

Zhou Xin deliberately slapped himself in the face several times, making his face red and swollen, then he ruffled his hair and clothes and rushed out. As soon as he went out, he knelt in front of Old Lady Shen.

"Grandma Shen, Grandma Shen, please let my aunt go! I beg you..."

As soon as Zhou Xin appeared, he started howling at the top of his lungs. Before Old Lady Shen could say anything, Zhou Xin continued speaking.

"Grandma Shen, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have gotten so close to Sister Shen. I forgot for a moment and thought Sister Shen was my own sister, so I wanted to get closer. It's all my fault!

I deserved to be beaten, but my aunt said that I was a man and should not be beaten by a woman, so she dragged me here.

Grandma Shen, this is all my fault. I should have reflected on my mistakes, but I dare not disobey my aunt... If you want to punish my aunt, I will bear it for her.

Zhou Xin had such a loud voice that Old Lady Shen, who was standing closest to him, couldn't help but take a few steps back and rub her ears. Old Lady Shen looked at Zhou Xin's face and frowned unconsciously.

"The wound on your face was caused by Yiyatou's maid?"

Zhou Xin quickly shook his head.

"Sister Shen's maid is just a little girl after all. A girl of her age wouldn't hurt anyone much if she hit someone."

After saying that, Zhou Xin glanced at Zhou Shi, then lowered his head again. Although his movements were quick, everyone saw it. Among these people, there were some who did not believe that Zhou Shi had beaten Zhou Xin, such as Cheng Jinchu and the other two who knew the truth.

There were also four people who were half-believing and half-doubting: Old Lady Shen, Shen Yun, Yu and Shen An; and Shen Hao who believed it completely.

There was no way out. Shen Hao had often suffered beatings from Zhou before. That woman was completely unreasonable. She only cared about doing whatever she wanted and being in a good mood. She always beat him to add fun to life. She was just a crazy woman.

Shen Hao had thought about divorcing his wife before, but he didn't dare to do so because the people in Zhou's family beat people more severely than Zhou. The most important thing was that Shen Yun never cared about Shen Hao. Shen Hao had no one to turn to, so he just endured it.

In recent years, his business has grown bigger and bigger, and he has gained some confidence. Only then did Shen Hao dare to compete with Zhou. Of course, the change in their status made Zhou feel uncomfortable. She couldn't control her husband from going out to find women before, and now her husband directly took charge of the house outside, and it was rare for him to stay overnight when he came back occasionally.

Old Mrs. Shen didn't want to see Zhou and her nephew, thinking that Zhou would not be able to escape the family rules this time anyway. As for her nephew begging to take responsibility for her aunt, Old Mrs. Shen was willing to oblige him. After all, this boy dared to tease her granddaughter. He was simply courting death and needed to be taught a lesson.

"Boss, Zhou is your wife, what do you think?"

Shen Hao didn't want to see that fierce woman at all. Thinking back to the time when she raped him, he felt wronged. He had been bullied for so many years. Fortunately, his mother had always protected him, which made Zhou restrain herself a little and his life became better.

"Since my mother has spoken, of course we have to deal with it according to the family rules. This matter was indeed caused by Zhou Xin. In this case, let Zhou Xin bear half of the responsibility!"

Old Mrs. Shen nodded and looked at Shen Yun.

"Third brother, is this okay with your elder brother's handling of the matter?"

Shen Yun looked at Zhou and Zhou Xin who were kneeling on the ground with cold eyes and snorted.

"Humph! Since my elder brother has dealt with her like this, I can't say anything. But Zhou Xin, remember, my daughter, if you dare to touch her finger next time, I will chop you off!"

When Zhou Xin heard Shen Yun's voice, he shuddered unconsciously.

"Yes! I understand. I won't dare to do it again..."

After saying that, Shen Yun took the crying Cheng Jinchu away. Bai Mingyao watched Cheng Jinchu leave. He didn't need to stay here, so he followed her.

Old Mrs. Shen was already tired after going out today, and she encountered such a thing when she came back. She felt not in good spirits. She was supported by Yu and returned to her own yard. Shen An followed Old Mrs. Shen and the others and left together. Only Zhou, Zhou Xin and Shen Hao were left there.

"Husband, really, I am innocent..."

Zhou raised her head and looked at Shen Hao with tears in her eyes. Shen Hao frowned even more tightly as he looked at Zhou's round face covered with tears and snot.

"Don't say that. I just want to ask you, is it true that Zhou Xin bullied Yi Yatou?"

Zhou was stunned. She wanted to refute, but Bai Mingyao had just said that there were witnesses. She just couldn't get angry that the wild girl who came back from the countryside actually beat her beloved nephew.

In fact, Cheng Jinchu's previous reflection was correct. Her weak and vulnerable appearance made others feel that anyone could punch her. Zhou had a very deep memory of the time when Cheng Jinchu was tied up and thrown to the ground and bullied. If the princess had not been there that day, she would definitely have suffered a bad fate.

"But, look at the wounds on Zhou Xin's face and body. He hasn't hit anyone yet. How can he be so dignified to be beaten by a little girl in public..."

The more Zhou spoke, the lower her voice became, and Shen Hao's expression became more and more gloomy.

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm telling you, no matter how much Yi came back from the outside, she is still my third brother's biological daughter. You're going to teach her a lesson? Are you dissatisfied with our eldest wife's life being too good?"

Zhou didn't dare to say anything for a moment. She knew of course that the good life of the Shen family now depended on Shen Yun. Who of them dared to act rashly in front of Shen Yun? Although they were his brother and sister-in-law, Shen Yun was the real head of the family.

Also, Old Lady Shen always stands by her son first, and Old Lady Shen doesn't love any of them, whether it's her or Yu, or the former Mo or the current Sun Manman;

If Old Lady Shen had to choose among her children, she would first side with her youngest son, then her youngest daughter, then her second son because he is sweet-talker, and finally her eldest son.

"I, I, I just want her to apologize, and I didn't force her to apologize if she didn't apologize!"

"Really? Do you feel guilty for saying that?"

Shen Hao would never trust Zhou. Even if the evidence was right in front of him, he would first wonder whether the evidence was forged by Zhou.

"You don't know, that girl is very powerful, she deliberately came close to me and said some irritating words to me!"

Zhou felt aggrieved. She didn't have the chance to refute just now. No one gave her a chance to speak. Although she was not smart, she knew that at that time, saying these things without evidence would only make her worse.

“What did she say?”

Shen Hao asked with a frown. He was reluctant to talk to Zhou, but since everyone had left, he had to stay and watch them being punished.

"She said I couldn't keep you, that I was a shrew, that I was ugly..."

Zhou felt very aggrieved. What she hated most was people saying she was ugly. In fact, to be fair, Zhou was not ugly when she was young. At most, she was just ordinary. She was too tall, which gave ordinary men a sense of oppression. That was why she could never get married.

When Shen Hao heard this, he laughed first. No matter whether what Zhou said was true or not, or whether Shen Jinyi said this or not, these words had entered Shen Hao's heart, and that was the truth. Zhou did not have any self-awareness at all.

“She really said that?”

Shen Hao stared into Zhou's eyes and asked. Zhou thought Shen Hao was going to make the decision for her, so she nodded vigorously.

"That's what I said, husband. I am her elder after all. How can she say that..."

"Isn't what she said the truth? Can't you accept the truth?"

Zhou originally wanted her husband to make the decision for her and wanted to talk about her grievances, but before she could finish her words, Shen Hao said this in a light tone. She was stunned and stood there until the people called by Old Lady Shen came and made Zhou lie down on the bench.

When the first board fell and the pain came, she came back to her senses and tears kept falling. She looked at her husband who was looking at her indifferently in the distance. The pain in her heart was much more painful than her buttocks.
