Zhou Yiming became anxious and ignored the bowls in his hands. He threw both bowls to the ground and smashed them into pieces.
He grabbed Chunni's shoulders, pushed her back, and asked nervously: "Chunnier, what happened? Did you really go out with the young lady? Where is the young lady now? Why are you alone? Is a person back? Stop crying and tell me quickly!"
When Lin Ajiao went out to look for Zhou Ming last night, she originally planned to go alone, but Zhou Ruhai was worried that she, a woman of a family, would go out alone at night, so he assigned Chun Nier to go with her.
Although Lin Ajiao kept telling Zhou Ruhai that she was highly skilled in martial arts and did not need anyone to accompany her, Zhou Ruhai could not listen at all and still insisted that Lin Ajiao must bring a companion, otherwise she would not be allowed to go out.
Seeing that the old lady was resolute, Lin Ajiao could only reluctantly agree and take Chun Nier out with her.
Lin Ajiao had her own reasons for not wanting to bring her companions out. She was extremely skilled in martial arts and had very strong legs. If she was alone, she could search a large area in a short time. , but once Chunni is around, her search speed will be greatly reduced.
After all, Chunni was still a child, and she did not have any martial arts skills, and her body was still very weak. In order to take into account her speed, Lin Ajiao had to slow down her pace, because she knew in her heart that once she only focused on looking for Zhou Ming, Chunni's safety was neglected, and if Zhou Ming was finally found, but Chun Ni'er had an accident, then Lin Ajiao would really not be able to explain herself in front of Zhou Ming.
The first place Lin Ajiao took Chun Nier to look for was the inspection yamen in the south of the city, because Lin Ajiao knew in her heart that although Yi Ming was not old, she usually did not have much recreational activities, and would go straight to work when she got off work. Go home and never wander outside. If you don't go home so late today, the most likely scenario is that there is an emergency in the yamen, so they are left here as errands to handle urgent business.
It is precisely because of this idea that even though Zhou Yiming did not go home so late, Lin Ajiao was not too anxious. She thought that as long as she went to the south of the city to inspect the Yamen, all the mysteries would be revealed. Even if she could not find it by then, Zhou Ming, as long as we find out why he didn't go home, his family will feel at ease.
However, after arriving at the yamen in the south of the city to inspect the yamen, after some inquiries, the yamen on duty at the door told Lin Ajiao and the others that Yi Ming and Deng Tong had left long ago. As for where they had gone, these yamen had no idea.
It was only then that Lin Ajiao really panicked. She knew very well that for a calm-minded and smart young man like Zhou Ming, ordinary unexpected situations could rarely cause him trouble, and he had been away from the Yamen for so long. , actually did not go home, and did not even send someone to report that the family was safe. These abnormal situations showed that Yi Ming must have encountered big trouble after leaving work.
While Lin Ajiao was aimlessly searching for Zhou Yiming in Huijing City, she also kept analyzing in her mind what kind of trouble Yi Ming would most likely encounter, and what would be the worst outcome after encountering these troubles.
After thinking about it, Lin Ajiao came up with the most terrifying possibility, that is, Yan Qiu might have taken the opportunity to attack Yi Ming. Yan Qiu was ruthless and inhumane. As long as he wanted to kill anyone, that person would never survive. hope.
Lin Ajiao's heart was twisted when she thought that Zhou Yi Ming might die. She really wanted to speed up her pace, leave Chun Ni'er and go find Zhou Yi Ming, but she couldn't bear to leave Chun Ni'er behind, for fear that she would be alone. Encountering danger in the middle of the night, I finally gave up the idea and took Chun Nier to search slowly in Huijing City.
Chun Nier and Lin Ajiao spent the night searching in the city. They searched many places where Zhou Ming might go, but they didn't find Zhou Ming at all.
After finally waiting until dawn, there were gradually more and more pedestrians on the street. Only then did Lin Ajiao feel relieved and separated from Chun Nier to look for Zhou Ming.
Chun Nier's physical fitness was very weak, and she hadn't eaten since last night, so she quickly exhausted her energy and didn't have the energy to continue searching. So she decided to go back to Zhou's house to inquire about the news. If Zhou Ming Still not home, she replenished her strength and continued to search until she found Zhou Ming.
When Chun Nier dragged her tired body slowly to the door of Zhou's house, she heard the silence inside Zhou's house, and the door of Zhou's house was also open. From the outside, no one could be seen inside.
Chun Nier, who was still full of expectations, suddenly fell to the bottom of her mood, because she knew very well that based on the analysis of the situation in front of her, not only did Yi Ming not come home, but maybe the servants sent out last night to look for Yi Ming, a None came back.
Chun Ni'er knew that the old lady didn't eat last night, and the only one left to serve her was a little maid Huan'er. This child was so young that she couldn't cook at all while taking care of the old lady.
These people who have been living in wealthy families are so pampered that they cannot go hungry at all. She can imagine that the old lady and Huan'er, who have not eaten for several meals, must be starving at this time.
Chun Ni'er planned to return to Zhou's house, cook a meal for the old lady first, and eat some for herself, and then go out to find Zhou Ming after her physical strength recovered.
But what she never expected was that as soon as she walked into the door of Zhou's house, she saw a familiar figure from behind.
She didn't believe her eyes at all, so she rubbed her eyes vigorously with her hands and opened them again. Not only did the background not disappear, but it turned around and faced her head-on.
And Chun Nier will never forget this man's face. He is the brother Zhou that she misses deeply.
She was so excited at the time that she forgot about the difference between men and women, and put aside worldly views. She threw herself into Zhou Ming's arms and burst into tears.
Chuni thought that Zhou Yiming would definitely comfort her gently, but what she didn't expect was that after Huan'er's reminder, Zhou Yiming only cared about Lin Ajiao's safety and didn't say a word about herself.
Although this made her feel a little disappointed, she also understood that this was human nature. After all, she was in the Zhou family's house. She was nominally Mrs. Zhou's goddaughter, but in fact she was just a servant. With her status, , how can it be compared with Gillian Lin?
Chun Ni'er did not dare to slack off at all. She hurriedly recounted the search process between herself and Lin Ajiao last night. She did not dare to hide anything in the process: "My young mistress and I searched all night and found nothing. Although the young mistress has been She acted very calmly, but I knew that she must be anxious. Occasionally, I saw her a few times secretly wiping her tears.
After dawn, I originally wanted to look for the young master with the young mistress, but the young mistress said that it would be too slow for two people to search like this, so it was better to search separately. This not only improved the efficiency, but the young mistress could also take advantage of her fast feet.
I was originally worried that my young mistress would go find you alone, but seeing that she was too anxious, I had no choice but to agree in the end. "
After hearing this, Huan'er was so worried that she almost cried. She knew the character of her young lady best. She did not find Yi Ming when inspecting the Yamen in the south of the city. Her young lady must have thought that Yi Ming was in great danger. If there was, This way of thinking, if she didn't find Zhou Ming, she would never go home.
Huan'er wanted to continue asking about what happened next, but when Mrs. Zhou in the study heard the movement, she immediately shouted loudly: "What's going on outside? What happened? You must not hide it from me, you must tell me. ."
Huan'er was afraid that the old lady would be anxious and get nervous, so she could only hold back her anxious mood, turned back to the study, and served Mrs. Zhou attentively.
After Zhou Yiming listened to Chuni's story, he stood in the yard for a long time without coming back to his senses. After he recovered, his eyes were filled with tears. He was deeply moved by everything Lin Ajiao had given to him.
Originally, he planned to take good care of his old mother first and wait for her to regain her strength before going out to find his wife, but at this moment, he couldn't wait any longer.
He helped Chun Nier up and comforted her with a smile: "Okay, don't cry. I'm back now, right? It's nothing big. Last night, the people in the Yamen and I went to do a secret errand. The reason why we didn't When I reported the news to my family, I was afraid that the news would leak out.
You haven't eaten all night, so you must be hungry. I have already prepared a pot of porridge in the kitchen pot. Go and eat some quickly. Remember to fill a bowl for the old lady and Huan'er when the time comes. They are also starving.
Anyway, I will leave the house to you. I have to go out immediately to find our young mistress. Otherwise, if I continue to let her search like this, she will definitely become anxious. "
Chun Nier nodded sensibly: "I understand, young master, go quickly."
Zhou Yiming said no more, turned around and walked straight towards the gate, wanting to find Lin Ajiao as soon as possible.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw two people walking from a distance. Both of them were elderly. One was dressed in fine clothes, and the other looked like a servant from the way he was dressed.
Because they were too far away, Zhou Yiming did not recognize who these two people were at first. When the distance was slightly closer, he realized that the old man in rich clothes was looking directly at his old father Zhou Ruhai.
The person who was helping Zhou Ruhai was an old servant of his own family. This servant had been in the Zhou family longer than Laifu, and he had always been loyal. Even when the Zhou family was in the most difficult times, he was always loyal. Never thought about leaving.
Zhou Yiming hurriedly greeted him, knelt on the street, and quickly kowtowed and confessed: "Dad, you are finally back. My son deserves to die. You made your old man worry about me last night. It was all because of my lack of consideration in doing things, which almost led to death." Blunder.
If you are angry, I will accept the punishment. Please don’t take it personally and make yourself angry. "
