Probably because she was afraid that the man would run away, Chu Run, who usually traveled by carriage, directly carried Yu Atu onto the horse and galloped straight to the farmyard she mentioned.
Since Yu Atu had deliberately memorized the route when walking, they arrived at the place she mentioned without much effort. However, after the two dismounted, Yu Atu was dumbfounded on the spot, "How could this happen? That room
Where’s the farmhouse?!”
Chu Run narrowed his eyes and stood calmly watching her "performance".
Yu Atu walked around in circles. She clearly remembered that the farmhouse was here, and that there were several rooms in it. She was locked in the cellar of one of the rooms, but now all of these were gone.
All that was left was a pond overgrown with grass.
"Impossible...this is impossible!" Yu Atu looked at the pond in front of him in disbelief, and even couldn't help but step forward and began to test the depth of the water.
But before she touched the water, she was pulled back by Chu Run, "That's enough, there is only a pond here. Maybe you remembered it wrong!"
"Impossible!" Yu Atu became anxious, "The trees around here are all the same as in my memory. I definitely remember it correctly!"
As she said that, she raised her eyes and looked at Chu Run. Seeing the intriguing look on his face, she couldn't help but shed tears, "You don't believe me at all, do you?"
Chu Run's eyes deepened and he said expressionlessly: "Of course I believe you, maybe you remember it wrong."
He had tried his best to keep his tone gentle, but in Yu Atu's ears, it was chilling to the bone, because this perfunctory tone seemed familiar to her. Not long ago, Shi Cui also used such a tone to express trust.
"I remember correctly." Yu Atu's tears welled up, "I don't know why the other party did this, let alone how this place turned into a pond, but I am sure... every word I said
It’s all facts, I really didn’t lie to you!”
"Yes, I understand." Chu Run brushed away her tears perfunctorily, "I just believe you."
Just like he did to Weng Xiaohuan, he will always be a competent husband, but if he wants the tenderness from his heart, he really can't deceive himself, let alone others.
Yu Atu felt his indifference, and her whole body was more desperate than ever before. At this moment, she seemed to understand the reason why the man did nothing, because even if he did nothing, no one would believe that she was innocent.
, the farmhouse turned into a pond, and the man had long since disappeared. She would never be able to cleanse herself of her filth in Chu Run's eyes in this life.
Seeing that she was silent, Chu Run said nothing and picked her up on the horse again.
Since we can't catch anyone, we might as well go back to the inn and rest early.
Yu Atu sat on the horse and suddenly said, "You can ask Po Wen to check me out."
She and Chu Run have not yet consummated their marriage, and she is still innocent. As long as Wen Po tests, the truth will be revealed.
The method was a bit humiliating, but in order to clear her impression in her husband's eyes, she didn't care about anything.
Chu Run's eyes darkened and he said coldly: "I already told you that I believe you, so what's the test?!"
Not to mention that the test may not necessarily mean she is innocent, but so what if she is really innocent. As long as she has been seen and touched by other men and has not done anything, can she still maintain the so-called "innocent body"?
Chu Run didn't want to think about these possibilities. He only knew that he couldn't let the matter spread and affect his reputation.
Yu Atu didn't expect that he would refuse to agree, and thought that he really believed in her. A glimmer of hope ignited in her originally despairing mood, "Do you really believe in me?"
She sat in Chu Run's arms and couldn't see his expression clearly.
Chu Run hummed, then raised his whip and whipped the horse. The horse's hooves clattered loudly. Yu Atu wanted to ask a few more questions, but had to swallow it down his throat.
The two returned to the inn, but Shi Chunfen and Shi Cui were still awake and waiting for their return.
Seeing them coming back so quickly, both of them looked a little surprised. Shi Cui subconsciously looked behind them and asked, "Where are they? Have they been sent to the Yamen?"
Yu Atu's face looked very ugly, and he bit his lip and said nothing.
Chu Run, on the other hand, said calmly: "Yes, he has been caught and sent to the Yamen. Mother doesn't have to worry."
Shi Cui breathed a sigh of relief, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face, "That's good. This means that what Usagi said is all the truth, and she really didn't lie to us!"
Compared to her excitement, Shichun Equinox was much calmer. She could tell at a glance that Yu Atu was in a bad mood, but she didn't expose it. "Now that the matter has come to an end, let's go back to our rooms and rest first." She said,
She turned to look at Shi Cui and said, "Auntie, you are tired too. Go back and rest quickly."
"Hey!" Shi Cui was so excited that she didn't notice everyone's faces. She gave Yu Atu a few more words before returning to the room with Shi Chunfen's help.
After Shi Cui settled down, Shi Chunfen went downstairs again and saw Chu Run drinking in the lobby. She immediately stepped forward and asked, "Where's Usagi? Have you gone back to your room?"
Chu Run nodded slightly and said calmly: "I asked Cai Die to wait for her to go back to rest. She should have fallen asleep by now."
Shi Chunfen breathed a long sigh of relief and sat down opposite him naturally, "What about you? Why don't you go back to rest and drink alone here?"
Chu Run looked at her and smiled faintly, "Aren't you the same...you didn't sleep last night, and you still had the thought to go downstairs to find me. It seems you have guessed what happened?"
When he said this, Shi Chunfen's expression became solemn, "No one was caught?"
Is Yu Atu lying, or has the man run away?
Chu Run lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly: "There is no such farmhouse at all. When we arrived at the location she mentioned, there was a pond overgrown with weeds. Not to mention the farmhouse, we didn't even see a hut."
"How could this happen?" Shi Chunquin said with surprise on his face.
She knew that although Yu Atu lied a lot, he would not do anything that was uncertain. Even if the whole thing was made up, she could have found a vacant farmhouse to deceive Chu Run on the way back instead of
Take him directly to another location.
Chu Run shrugged, "How do I know? It's probably a lie..."
From the beginning to the end, he never believed Yu Atu.
From the moment this woman teamed up with his father and brother to force him to marry her, he had no good impression of her. The reason why he pretended to be considerate in front of her was just for the sake of the 10% profit he signed with Shi Chunfen.
.
Now that she had an accident, he would not blame her for anything, but he could not act as if nothing had happened.
Shi Chunfen understood his mood, and it was not easy to argue too much with him at this time. After all, the whole matter was full of doubts, and she was not sure that what Yu Atu said was definitely the truth.
