Zhou Ruhai sighed: "Now that the matter has come to this, what can I do? If Ming'er offended an ordinary person, I might be able to find some connections to help him avoid this disaster.
But the person he offended happened to be the most powerful person in the court today. Let alone me, a small general judge, even the current prince would find it even more difficult to save him. "
"What should we do?" Mrs. Zhou was desperate for a while, looking at Zhou Ming, her eyes filled with tears.
After hearing Zhou Ruhai's words, the servants at home were all frightened out of their wits. Laifu and a few clever servants had already begun to plan, pack up and leave.
Zhou Yiming saw his parents patronizing him and worried about him, and even forgot to ask why he suddenly became so strong and was able to kill powerful enemies one after another.
He was not busy explaining the pros and cons of the current situation, but instead felt a sense of joy.
Mom and dad, they are so busy and anxious that they don’t even notice the most obvious problems. It’s really speechless.
But that’s fine, lest I lie to my wife and then my parents, which would make me feel even more guilty.
Just when Yi Ming was about to tell him how to solve the crisis, after a brief panic, Zhou Ruhai and Mrs. Zhou realized a problem at the same time. They looked at Yi Ming with their eyes wide open, their lips trembled, and they couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Ming'er, you have killed powerful enemies one after another, has your martial spirit recovered?" Finally, Zhou Ruhai asked excitedly.
Mrs. Zhou had already stood up and walked to Zhou Ming. While touching his shoulder, she looked at him carefully: "Is what your father said true?"
At this time, Lin Ajiao next to her was smiling and wanted to explain to Zhou Ming, but Zhou Ming raised her hand to stop her.
There are some things that he must do himself, such as lying to others.
Zhou Yiming helped Mrs. Zhou to sit back in her original position, then sat upright and said seriously: "Mom and Dad, actually I should have told you this a long time ago. My martial spirit has indeed recovered, but it is not as high as before. Now it is only Bronze level.
I was secretly practicing martial arts before, so last night I was able to stay calm and kill powerful enemies in the face of danger.
The reason why I haven't told you about this for so long is just to test whether Gillian is sincere to me. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, I can tell the secret in my heart. "
After hearing this, Zhou Ruhai and Mrs. Zhou both stood up happily. They walked up to Yi Ming, looked at him carefully, with tears in their eyes.
"Son, are you telling the truth?" Zhou Ruhai burst into tears.
Zhou Yiming nodded, his heart filled with infinite emotion.
Dad is really worried about himself.
Mrs. Zhou was a little jealous. She looked at Lin Gillian and asked, "Gillian, do you already know about this?"
Lin Ajiao smiled and nodded: "Mother-in-law, I just found out that my husband has been hiding this from me before."
The old lady finally regained her mental balance.
The servants in the family were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene, and they were full of doubts about Zhou Ming.
Our young master looks so weak, is he really that powerful?
Zhou Ruhai and Mrs. Zhou, after a brief period of happiness, began to feel sad again.
Because this good news comes at the wrong time.
Zhou Yiming beheaded Yan Qiu's grandson. This disaster was so great that Zhou Ruhai, who had been in officialdom for many years, felt desperate and could not think of any way to save his son.
Zhou Yi Ming and Lin Ajiao looked at each other. They both knew in their hearts that the atmosphere at home could not continue like this. Otherwise, the two elderly people in the family would be worried to death before Yi Ming's plan could succeed.
Zhou Yiming quickly said: "Mom and dad, don't worry, I have my own way to solve this matter."
Zhou Ruhai and Mrs. Zhou thought that Yi Ming was afraid that they would be worried, so they deliberately said these words to comfort them.
"Ming'er, you don't need to comfort your mother and me. We have lived to this age and are not afraid of death. But you and Gillian just got married and haven't given birth to a boy and a girl to our Zhou family. If you two just ……well!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Ruhai felt desolate in his heart and couldn't speak any more.
Zhou Yiming wanted to say something, but suddenly he understood that at this moment, in this situation, no matter what he said, his parents would not believe it.
Lin Ajiao was even more afraid of worrying her parents-in-law, but there was nothing she could do about it.
When everyone was feeling gloomy, Laifu and several servants secretly moved outside the house, hoping to pack their bags and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
"Laifu." Zhou Ruhai suddenly shouted.
Laifu trembled, stopped, and quickly agreed: "I'm here, sir. Do you have any orders?"
"Hurry and pack your bags for the young master and young lady." Zhou Ruhai said helplessly.
Zhou Yiming immediately understood that his father was letting him and Lin Ajiao escape for their lives.
"Yes." Laifu didn't dare to neglect, turned around and wanted to run away.
Zhou Ruhai stopped him again: "Wait a minute, Laifu, go to the accounting room and see how much silver is left at home. Bring it all to the young master and the young mistress."
"Yes." Laifu turned around.
"Dad, why are you doing this? Even if we escape, where can we escape to? Besides, Gillian and I have escaped, what will you and mother do?" Zhou Yiming said helplessly.
Zhou Ruhai burst into tears: "Your mother and I depend on each other for life and death, and we have no regrets in death. But if something unexpected happens to you and Gillian, my Zhou family will be cut off, and I will die in peace."
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Yi Ming decisively shut up and began to think about what he should do to make his parents believe that he was sure to save the lives of his family.
"God damn Zhou Yiming, you have tricked us. Give me my daughter back!"
Before Zhou Ming could come up with a solution, there was a cry outside.
The Zhou family hurriedly came out to take a look, and suddenly they all had big heads.
It turned out that it was Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin who came with their families to investigate.
The Lin family also heard about something big happening in the city early in the morning. They originally wanted to see the excitement and went to find out what happened.
In the end, it was revealed that it was their son-in-law Yi Ming who had killed the grandson of the most popular man in the dynasty, which had caused a sensation in the capital.
Mr. Lin immediately realized the danger. If this matter was not handled well, not only would his daughter lose her life along with the Zhou family, but even the entire Lin family might be executed.
Because if the nine clans are destroyed, the wife clan will also be implicated.
So Mr. Lin did not dare to delay and immediately led his family to the Zhou family. Firstly, he wanted an explanation, and secondly, he wanted to see if the Zhou family had a complete plan to deal with this crisis. If not, he would take his daughter away and force her to leave. Zhou Ming wrote a letter of divorce.
Although doing this would inevitably lead to the suspicion of being pushed down by everyone, Mr. Lin can no longer control so much at this moment. After all, this is the only way to completely cut off from the Zhou family. If he wants to save the lives of his family, he has no choice.
Mrs. Lin and the rest of the Lin family were originally opposed to Lin Ajiao marrying Zhou Ming. Now, Yi Ming has caused a big disaster and is about to implicate them. You can imagine the anger in their hearts.
When the Zhou family came out to greet them, the Lin family ignored them and wanted to take Lin Ajiao away by force.
Zhou Yiming understood their mood at this time, so he just tried to persuade them and did not get angry.
The Zhou family talked hard and finally let Mr. Lin and his family into the house to entertain them.
As soon as he sat down, Mr. Lin cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Brother Zhou, our families have been friends for generations, and it goes without saying that I have a good relationship with you.
Ming'er risked his own life to save his little girl that day. I always remember this kindness, so I betrothed my little girl to Ming'er despite the opposition of my family.
Is this considered repaying a favor? "
When the elders were talking, Zhou Yiming and Lin Ajiao naturally couldn't interrupt casually and could only listen silently.
"Brother Lin, what are you talking about?" Zhou Ruhai naturally knew the other party's intention, so he could only deal with it as best he could, "Between you and me, do you need anything more to repay your kindness?"
Mr. Lin raised his hand angrily, meaning to let Zhou Ruhai listen to him: "Originally, the young couple could live a stable life. I have nothing to say. I have even planned that if Ming'er is on an errand in the Yamen, If it doesn't work out, I will provide the capital to let him start a small business, so that my daughter will have someone to rely on in the future."
"What a good intention that fed the wolf." Mrs. Lin couldn't help but curse.
"Brother Zhou, let me tell you for yourself, for a father-in-law like me, to reach such an extent, I have done my best, right?" Mr. Lin continued, "But I never expected that Ming'er would get into trouble within half a month. such a big disaster.
Whether he is right or wrong, I don’t want to say anymore. Today I just want to take my daughter away.
I hope Brother Lin can let Ming'er write a letter of divorce to me, so as not to let my daughter lose her life in vain. "
Mr. Lin's tone was calm and his attitude was calm, but every word he said was heart-wrenching, leaving the Zhou family unable to refute.
"What Brother Lin said is absolutely true. It's all my son's fault for being impulsive and making a big mistake." Zhou Ruhai's face was full of shame.
Looking at the scene happening in front of him, Zhou Yiming felt his scalp numb.
Could it be any messier? This is not the time when the family has been destroyed, but it has already turned into a pot of porridge.
He couldn't write a divorce letter. Such a good wife was hard to find even with a lantern, so there was no way for him to divorce her on his own initiative.
However, he was not in a hurry to express his position, but wanted to see Lin Ajiao's attitude.
Due to her parents' dignity, no matter how unpleasant the words they just said were, Lin Ajiao kept silent.
At this time, Lin Ajiao was really anxious when she heard that her father asked Yiyi Ming to write a letter of divorce.
She stood up, looked at everyone in the room with a puzzled look, and shouted angrily: "What's wrong with you? Why are you treating me like this?
Last night he risked his life to fight a powerful enemy, personally beheaded Yan Shikuan, who had committed many crimes, sought justice for the innocent victims, and saved six victims. Don't you know what a great achievement this is? "
Lin Ajiao became more and more excited as she talked, and her tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yiming was greatly touched. Even if the whole world is against you, there will always be someone on your side. This is the dream of many men.
He was able to marry a wife like Lin Ajiao because he had cultivated his virtue and talent over several lifetimes.
Everyone in the room, after being shouted at by Lin Ajiao, was stunned and said nothing.
