Liu Cui had just woken up, but when she heard the second son of the Chen family’s words, she almost fainted again.

“Shut up! What wife?! Get lost!” After Mrs. Chen glanced at Liu Cui and Shi Yan, who were on the ground, she hurriedly reprimanded the second son of the Chen family.

the second son of the Chen family was afraid of being beaten, so he ran out. When Mrs. Chen saw that her son was still naked, she was anxious. However, she didn’t dare to chase after him. After all, the matter at hand was even more difficult to resolve.

“Yan’er, see if your second brother is dead or alive!” Liu Cui’s eyes were filled with tears and she didn’t know what Shi Tu’s situation was.

Although Shi Yan was unwilling, she had no other choice. When she put her finger under Shi Guang’s nose, she realized that she was still breathing. Then, she moved her hand away.

“Mom, he’s still alive.” Shi Yan didn’t know what to do, but she glared at Bai Lan, who was at the door, since she felt that this matter had something to do with Shi Sen.

“Sister Liu Cui, I don’t know what’s going on either. Why don’t we ask Shi Tu when he wakes up?” Mrs. Chen didn’t know what to do. They had clearly said that Shi Sen would be sent over, but who knew that it would become Shi Tu instead?

Liu Cui took a deep breath. She was at a loss at this moment. After she suppressed her dizziness, she said to Shi Yan, “Bring your second brother back to his house. We’ll settle this matter in the future!”

Liu Cui wasn’t in the mood to deal with this matter now. She had already lost all her dignity. If Shi Song found out, who knew what would happen?

Liu Cui only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, so she ignored the apologetic Mrs. Chen. After Shi Yan found a blanket and wrapped Shi Tu tightly, she said to Fang Rou, “Let’s carry your second uncle back through the remote path. Be quick and don’t let anyone see us.”

Fang Rou wanted to refuse, but after looking at her mother and grandmother, she didn’t know what to say. After looking at the thin Bai Lan at the door, Fang Rou knew she couldn’t ask her for help, so she resigned herself to fate and helped Shi Yan lift Shi Tu.

Fortunately, Shi Tu was relatively thin to begin with, so it wasn’t that difficult for Shi Yan and Fang Rou to carry him.

Bai Lan didn’t speak. After she turned to the side to make way for Shi Yan and Fang Rou, she glanced at Liu Cui, who was slowly getting up from the ground. Bai Lan wanted to leave. After all, she was still worried about Shi Sen.

“Help me back.” Liu Cui was a little unsteady, so she waved at Bai Lan and was helped out by her.

Mrs. Chen had a bitter smile on her face as she wondered if Shi Tu would be able to survive after he woke up. Mrs. Chen sighed as she looked at her crazy son in the courtyard and shook her head helplessly. She must have been delusional. How could her crazy son be so lucky as to marry someone as beautiful as Shi Sen?

Mrs. Chen gave up on this idea completely and dragged the naked second son of the Chen family back to the inner room.

When Shi Sen and Chu Liu, who were on the courtyard wall, heard the screams in the courtyard, they knew that their plan had succeeded. However, when they saw the second son of the Chen family running out naked, they were shocked.

“You even took off their clothes?” Shi Sen looked at Chu Liu in surprise. He had only been inside for a minute or two last night. She didn’t expect him to be so agile as to take off their clothes during that short period.

“No.” Chu Liu was also in disbelief. He had only thrown the two of them onto the bed. How could he have the mood to take off their clothes?

After Chu Liu thought for a moment, a bold guess flashed through his mind. “Could it be that the second son of the Chen family woke up in the middle of the night?”

Upon hearing Chu Liu’s words, Shi Sen felt that it was very likely. After seeing the naked second son of the Chen family, Shi Sen felt that Shi Tu’s situation probably wasn’t much better.

“Stop looking. They’ll come out later.” Chu Liu pulled Shi Sen down from the courtyard wall and hid in the grass again.

Indeed, shortly after, the crowd walked out one after another. After a while, Shi Yan and Fang Rou walked out quickly with a bedroll.

“Could he be dead?” Shi Sen was a little shocked. Although Shi Tu had reaped what he sowed, Shi Sen didn’t expect him to die because of this.

“I don’t think so.” Chu Liu glanced at Shi Sen and said to her, “Go home first, or else it won’t be easy to explain later.”

Shi Sen nodded. She felt that if she went home before Liu Cui, the expression on her face would definitely be very interesting.

After Shi Sen rushed home, she didn’t see anyone, so she walked straight into the back room. Not long after, Shi Sen saw Bai Lan helping Lu Cui into the courtyard.

“Grandma, why do you look so pale? Did something happen?” After Shi Sen walked out of the room calmly, Liu Cui and Bai Lan widened their eyes in surprise.
