Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 616: Chapter 616: What, You Think You Can Just Leave After Wronging Someone?

She was fuming inside but couldn’t curse out loud; after all, they were right.

But there’s a saying that goes, ’Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes to phoenixes, and rats make burrows.’

Even though Zhang Wenjuan grew up in the Ye Family, she inherited Fang Zhichun’s nature in her bones — selfish, self-interested, and lacking confidence, always blaming others to achieve a sense of psychological balance.

Seeing so many people standing up for Huo Jingrui, Zhang Wenjuan felt utterly confused and began to doubt whether there was something wrong with her mind.

As for the companions that Zhang Wenjuan was pointing at, not to mention they truly hadn’t seen clearly, but given the current situation, they didn’t dare to side with her.

They could only tell what they saw truthfully, not daring to add a single extra word.

Deputy Chief Geng squinted his eyes again: "Zhiqing Zhang, none of them saw clearly who was chopping wood in the distance. How can you be so certain it was Comrade Huo?"

Zhang Wenjuan forced herself to be calm and said, "Of course, I saw it clearly when he was harassing me."

Deputy Chief Geng could see through her lies and couldn’t help but recall the previous incident, when Ye Wenhui was led by her to find Doctor Chu, and then got captured by enemy agents in the mountains.

At that time, due to insufficient evidence, this female educated youth was released, but today’s events made him wonder: was that just a coincidence?

Hearing her say, "You also said it happened while you stepped aside to relieve yourself, and it was then you realized it was Comrade Huo. So why do you need others to stand up and testify for you?"

Zhang Wenjuan turned red and stammered for a long time, without making any coherent argument.

At that moment, the town police arrived.

Deputy Chief Geng briefed the situation to the two officers: "That’s the situation."

Zhang Wenjuan hadn’t expected things to escalate this far and panicked: "I, I might have been mistaken. Can I drop the charges?"

She said that and immediately turned to run.

But Huo Jingrui wasn’t going to let her off that easily: "Stop, what, falsely accuse someone and just leave?"

Zhang Wenjuan went pale: "I already said I won’t pursue it, what more do you want?"

Huo Jingrui replied, "Someone like you, with such impure intentions, can’t just be let off like that. Otherwise, you’ll never learn. Since your own parents didn’t teach you right, let me do it."

He then turned to the two officers: "You two are aware of the situation, I’m pursuing her for defaming my reputation."

This time, Zhang Wenjuan was truly flustered: "No, I just made a nervous mistake. How can you, a grown man, be so petty? Are you trying to ruin my life?"

Huo Jingrui stepped back to Yunyi’s side: "Isn’t this exactly what you wanted? Of course, I’ll fulfill it. We’re all adults and should be responsible for our actions."

Zhang Wenjuan was taken away by the police and detained for seven days.

Now, she neither achieved her goal nor salvaged her reputation, and the seven-day detention was a bolt out of the blue for her. But who could she blame but herself?

Yunyi was still pondering on a way to teach her a profound lesson before she left.

But that person seemed to have gone mad, as the day after returning from the town station, she was already eager to harm Yunyi.

With most things wrapped up, Doctor Qiu wanted Yunyi to make one last batch of pills before she left. Having worked together for so long, this was the first time Doctor Qiu asked for such a favor, and she naturally agreed, so early in the morning, she headed up the mountain with a basket.
