Chapter 242 The description becomes darker and darker
After hearing this, Ye Yu smiled. He looked at Yi and was about to turn around to explain to the shopkeeper.

But he found that the shopkeeper was staring at Ziyi intently, and after a while Ziyi came down.

Ye Yu coughed twice, and the shopkeeper's eyes returned to him.

But not long after, the shopkeeper's eyes continued to stare at Zi Yi, which made Ye Yu feel a little puzzled, and at the same time, a trace of vigilance arose in his heart.

He felt that instead of waiting until the truth was revealed to try to salvage the situation, it would be better to make things clear now.

"This is my friend. No matter how much you like her, I hope you can respect yourself and not have too many unreasonable expectations."

As Ye Yu spoke, he patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder, with an obvious warning.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately became very flustered, took a few steps back, and waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I was staring at this girl for other reasons. Please don't misunderstand me."

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Fan Shusheng suddenly felt like being a jerk again. He reached out and patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder and said.

"Come on, if you like her, just say it boldly. There's no need to be so secretive. Our Miss Ziyi is indeed a very nice person, and there are many people who like her. Just tell the truth."

After finishing speaking, Fan Shusheng turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Ziyi, as if he was taking credit from Ziyi, or even provoking her.

When Zi Yi saw him like this, she just clenched her fists in anger.

If there hadn't been outsiders present, Zi Yi would have punched Fan Shusheng in the eye.

After hearing what Fan Shusheng said, the shopkeeper quickly denied it.

"No, no, no, you all misunderstood. I don't have any improper thoughts about this girl, nor do I like her. I stared at her just because she is very beautiful, and there are other reasons."

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, his wife came over.

As soon as she came over, she heard the shopkeeper praising Ziyi for her beauty, and heard what Fan Shusheng had said before. She immediately took three or two steps forward in anger and grabbed the shopkeeper's hair.

He was jerked back and slapped in the face.

"Well, you actually dare to do this outside, and now you are still in the inn. If you leave the inn, you will be even more arrogant and go straight to my bed to praise my beauty."

After hearing what the shopkeeper's wife said, the shopkeeper wanted to continue explaining.

But the shopkeeper's wife didn't listen at all. She slapped him twice again, put her hands on her hips, and glared at him.

The guests found it very funny to see the shopkeeper's wife acting so tough.

They didn't expect that such a tall and strong shopkeeper could be so subdued by his wife and beaten like this.

Thinking of this, everyone below burst into laughter, without caring at all about the shopkeeper's face.

When Ye Yu and the others saw this, they just felt confused and scared. They didn't expect that the shopkeeper had such a good temper, but his wife had a bad temper.

But the shopkeeper seemed to be used to it and didn't bother to care about the looks of people around him.

Instead, he pulled Fan Shusheng aside and wanted him to explain to his wife on his behalf so that the shopkeeper's wife would not misunderstand so deeply.

"Mr. Fan, you must quickly explain to my wife that this is not the case. There is no such thing at all. There is nothing going on between me and Miss Ziyi."

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Fan Shusheng wanted to explain for him, but the shopkeeper's wife simply refused to listen.

She slapped Fan Shusheng away, dragged the shopkeeper in front of her, and glared at him fiercely. "Don't try to find excuses here. I heard everything you two talked about. How could I be wrong? I tell you, you are dead today, no one can help you."

After saying that, the shopkeeper’s wife slapped the shopkeeper twice on the face and continued to beat him violently.

The shopkeeper was beaten by the lady the whole time and did not dare to fight back. He could only squat on the ground, holding his head and crying out "ouch, ouch".

When the guests of the inn saw this scene, they became very excited and kept cheering, asking the innkeeper's wife to hit the man harder.

He even made up some unfounded stories to make the shopkeeper's wife even angrier.

Seeing this, Fan Shusheng wanted to explain for the shopkeeper, but before he could open his mouth, he was suddenly dragged away by someone.

He was about to scold the person who was pulling him when he saw Ye Yu looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Don't rush to explain. They will definitely refuse what they want. Besides, the shopkeeper's wife is someone who won't listen to advice. If you explain, you will get yourself into trouble."

After hearing Ye Yu's words, Fan Shusheng also felt that it made sense and didn't want to explain anything anymore.

The shopkeeper was severely beaten by his wife. He lay on the ground with a bruised face and nose, and kept crying out in pain.

It was the first time for Mr. Fan to see a man beaten like this by a woman. His head was swollen like a pig's head.

Fan Shusheng originally thought that this incident was caused by himself and did not dare to laugh boldly, but later he really could not help it.

He burst into laughter and, like the other customers around him, mocked the shopkeeper.

Fan Shusheng's laughter was very obvious and loud among the crowd, which seemed particularly abrupt. This also made the shopkeeper who was lying on the ground immediately lock his eyes on Fan Shusheng.

If he had not been Fan Shusheng, he would never have suffered such a punishment, nor would he have been surrounded and laughed at by so many people.

The shopkeeper was very angry, his face turned red with anger, and he climbed up from the ground with trembling legs and hands.

He walked up to Fan Shusheng angrily, pulled him out, and explained everything in front of the crowd.

In fact, the people in the crowd did not misunderstand that he was cheating. They laughed because they just thought it was funny that he was beaten by his wife.

After the shopkeeper had finished explaining to the people, he thought about going to his wife to explain. He grabbed Fan Shusheng and prepared to go find the shopkeeper's wife.

At this time, the shopkeeper's wife had already turned around and left to work by herself.

When the shopkeeper appeared with Fan Shusheng, his wife was busy washing the sheets and quilts in their inn.

The shopkeeper saw his wife, who had just been angry one second and was doing these chores the next, and he couldn't help feeling distressed and regretting what he had just said.

He pulled Fan Shusheng and brought him in front of the shopkeeper's wife, tugged at her sleeve, motioned her to look at Fan Shusheng, and began to speak.

"My dear, I really didn't lie. I really don't have any thoughts about Miss Ziyi. If you don't believe me, just listen to his explanation. He said those words as a joke. I just said Miss Ziyi was beautiful for the sake of explanation."

As he said this, the shopkeeper looked at Fan Shusheng with some embarrassment, and just as Fan Shusheng was about to explain, he heard the shopkeeper's wife interrupt him and said something with a hint of sarcasm.

"What can he explain? I think he was bribed by you and came here to tell lies. Judging from his fat head and big ears, he is not a good person. You come here to explain for him, but you will only make things worse. I heard others say that you are a scholar, but you don't look like one at all."

After saying this, the shopkeeper's wife rolled her eyes, and after hearing what she said, Fan Shusheng was very angry.
