Ryan returned home at noon that day. He felt guilty for not coming home all night and changing his clothes, so he wanted to avoid Second Madam. He secretly found some home clothes and changed into clothes in the side room. It happened to be the time when Second Madam took the children to take a nap. But for a family like the Cheng family, it was difficult to do something that was hidden from others. As soon as Ryan took off his clothes, the maid Guihua came in to wash his face. She saw bruises of all sizes all over his body, but he was still trying to cover them up. She impatiently sent Guihua away. Guihua was very cunning, without even raising her eyebrows or eyes, and she put down the washbasin and left. Then she waited for Second Madam to wake up and reported to her in detail, saying that she saw clear teeth marks and bruises, and that her clothes were not right, so she was afraid that someone had "possessed" her.
The Second Mistress was horrified when she heard this. She felt distressed and angry. She didn't even comb her hair. She stood up suddenly to see what was going on. After thinking about it, she decided to sit down and interrogate the maid. Ryan had never been a person who would fight. When she first met him, Ryan didn't even know how to swear. Later, when he went to the border to make a purchase, he learned to curse. But he was such a delicate young man! Fighting! He had only been in Peking for a few years, but he had fought twice! Who would dare to bite someone after a fight! It must be Ervin!
The second wife was suspicious when she got in touch with the family, so she called to test Lucas's attitude. She was a very calculating woman, and as soon as the call was connected, she started to scold him: "You and your brother-in-law left the house together yesterday, and I handed him over to you! He pretends to be invincible, but are you dead set on letting that cheap guy bully him?"
Although this statement did not point to a specific person, it seemed that the perpetrator was known. Lucas was startled, wondering if Ervin had beaten Ryan after he left the table yesterday? He hurriedly asked Ryan what happened and asked Ryan to answer the phone. The second wife wiped her nose with a handkerchief and sniffed. From the other end, it sounded as if she was crying: "You don't have to use words with your brother-in-law to coax me. I know who were at the party yesterday! You are my own brother, why do you always help outsiders to deceive your sister when things come to a head? What benefits did you get from them?"
Lucas said in panic, "Don't be angry, sister. I'm just worried that you might be worried. Who knows if my brother-in-law is really hurt?"
