After being stunned for a moment, Laifu suddenly became elated, and even felt like he was surviving a disaster. He knew very well that if Zhou Ming denied it to the end when answering this question, he would not admit to having been to Huamanlou. , there is nothing you can do about him.
After all, he heard the news from the street, and he didn't have any evidence to directly prove that Zhou Ming had been to Huamanlou.
My young master is originally the lifeblood of the master and his wife, the apple of the eye of the whole family, and he is the only hope for the prosperity of the entire Zhou family in the future. If he does not learn well, not only will the master and his wife lose hope, but even the servants will also Very disappointed.
If I hadn't told the young master's secret in front of so many people just now, but had told my master privately, if the young master didn't learn from it, my master might not be able to make the matter public, and might even give him a stern order. Keep this secret and do not spread it to the outside world. After all, your own son's future is more important than anything else. The good-looking master must understand this truth.
Thinking of this, Laifu felt scared for a while, but at the same time he was secretly proud of his cleverness.
After his master asked that childish question just now, he thought that he would definitely lose in this confrontation with the young master. After all, everyone surnamed Zhou is a family, even if Yi Ming really made a mistake , and if he can't think of an excuse to shirk his responsibility, maybe his master and his wife will help him find an excuse to shirk his responsibility at the critical moment.
Before everyone came to their senses, Laifu quietly walked back to where he was standing. He kept patting his chest with his hands because he was too nervous just now and his heartbeat was too fast. As for his whole body, he felt uncomfortable. It felt like he hoped to relieve the discomfort in his heart and whole body with this tapping method.
He looked at the back of Yi Ming kneeling on the ground and thought to himself, Master, it's a good thing that you are straight-tempered, otherwise as long as you tell a lie, my life will be sealed.
The servants in the yard were all surprised when they heard Zhou Ming's answer. The male servants were surprised and thought that Zhou Ming was a good man who could face such great pressure at such a critical moment. Dare to admit their mistakes, just such a heroic act, most of them cannot do it.
Moreover, these male servants are very confused in their hearts. If Zhou Ming doesn't cherish such a good wife at home, why should he go to a place with fireworks to have fun? Is the saying really true? ? Are domestic flowers really not as fragrant as wild flowers?
These male servants lowered their voices and whispered to each other.
"It's really disappointing that the young master has done this. He originally had a bright future."
"What's so disappointing? He just made the same mistake that all men make. I don't believe it. You've never been to that kind of place."
"He wants to go, he must have money."
"What nonsense are you talking about? The young master dares to do what he does, unlike you, who doesn't dare to admit that he has done bad things, and then becomes a coward."
Originally, Zhou Ming had a good appearance, martial arts skills, and a very sense of justice. Therefore, he was so charming that he was the dream lover of almost all the female servants of the Zhou family.
As long as Yi Ming is at home, these female servants are full of energy and motivation, especially if there is some work in the backyard, these female servants will rush to do it, for fear of missing this opportunity to have close contact with Yi Ming.
And when they learned that Zhou Yiming had really been to Huamanlou, Zhou Yiming's perfect image was shattered in their hearts. These female servants were all heartbroken. Some young female servants felt sorry for Lin Ajiao in their hearts. She felt it wasn't worth it. After all, it was unreasonable for a woman as outstanding as her to be let down by Zhou Ming.
Although Mrs. Zhou had already determined in her heart that Yi Ming must have gone to Hua Man Lou and done bad things, so she was fully prepared in her heart, but she still felt a lot of pain when she heard Yi Ming personally admit that he had been to Hua Man Lou. Shocking, after all, she had raised Yi Ming with her own hands since she was a child. She still couldn't believe that her son, who had been obedient and sensible since childhood, would do such a rebellious thing not long after marrying his wife.
Mrs. Zhou shed tears while shaking her head and sighing. While she hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, she also blamed herself deeply. She felt that she had not taught Yi Ming well. After all, this boy had been frail and sick since he was a child, so her discipline on him was looser. So much so that today's disaster occurred.
Although Mrs. Zhou felt very uncomfortable for a moment, she did not have time to immerse herself in her pain, because she knew very well that the one who suffered the most now was not herself, but Lin Ajiao and her husband.
After all, if Yi Ming did such a scandal, the person who couldn't accept it the most was Lin Ajiao, and she was the one who was hurt the most.
It's just that Mrs. Zhou has no time to care about Lin Ajiao's feelings right now, because she has more important things to do.
She and Zhou Ruhai have known each other for so many years, and she understands his temper best.
Zhou Ruhai is usually indifferent to fame and fortune, and he has no attachment to money. The only thing he cares about is face. In order to take care of face, he often offends people in the officialdom, so much so that he often wears other people's shoes, but he doesn't care at all. , because he often feels that in life, all that matters is face. If face is lost, life would be worse than death.
Zhou Ruhai, who values face more than his life, was furious after learning that his son had actually been to a place like Huamanlou. You can imagine what terrible things he would do in such a furious situation. Things, no one knows.
In order to protect Zhou Yiming's safety, Mrs. Zhou endured great grief and walked slowly between Zhou Yiming and Zhou Ruhai, for fear that her master would lose his mind and do something irreparable.
After all, no matter how useless Zhou Yiming is, he is still his only son. When he gets old, he is the only one he can count on.
After Lin Ajiao heard her father-in-law asked that question, she felt nervous and expectant. She knew Yi Ming very well and knew that he would never lie under any circumstances. As long as he could answer this question, everything would be the truth. The truth will come to light.
And after the initial impulse, Lin Ajiao gradually calmed down. She carefully examined the whole matter and found that there were many doubts in it, so the balance in her heart was tilted. Before Zhou Ming gave the answer, When answering, she felt that Yi Ming was innocent. After all, no matter how beautiful the girl in the building was, she would definitely not be able to compare with her.
It's just that the answer given by Yi Ming disappointed him. This kid actually admitted that he had been to Huamanlou, and his face did not change when he did so, as if he did not realize how shameful this was.
Lin Ajiao felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Huan'er had quick eyesight and quick hands and hugged her.
Lin Ajiao turned her back, not wanting to see Zhou Ming's face. She cried secretly and felt very pathetic. When Zhou Ming didn't give an answer, she actually still had fantasies about this man, and even I found countless reasons for him in my heart, and used these reasons to help him find the rationality for not going to Huamen Tower.
But these efforts seemed so feeble and ridiculous in the face of Zhou Ming's cruel answer.
Lin Ajiao had given up completely at this time. Not only did she no longer have any illusions about Zhou Ming, she even felt disgusted with the entire Zhou family. The reason she didn't leave immediately was because she wanted to see Zhou Ruhai meet later. How to deal with Zhou Ming.
After knowing the outcome of the whole matter, she left this home without hesitation and would never have any nostalgia. If her parents' family did not take her in by then, she would wander around the world with her little maid Huan'er and never marry again. The little maids find a place to live in seclusion together.
"Ah!" After hearing Zhou Ming's answer clearly, Zhou Ruhai opened his mouth in shock and couldn't close it for a long time.
The reason why he just asked a question that everyone thought was stupid actually had his own thoughts behind it. The two protagonists in this matter, one is his son and the other is his old housekeeper, who is kissing which one? Recently, no matter how old and confused he is, he still has a clear mind in his heart.
It's just that Laifu did something too great just now. As soon as he returned to the house, he exposed the young master's scandal to the public in front of everyone. Even if he had the intention to stop it at the time, it was of no avail.
Zhou Ruhai had the best face in his life. The scandal his son had done was suddenly made public. Even if he wanted to protect his son again and was forced into this situation, he could only punish Yi Ming severely.
But before punishing Zhou Ming, he thought of a clever plan. When interrogating Zhou Ming, he planned to ask a leading question. Under the guidance of this question, he would follow the instructions step by step and let Zhou Ming slowly excuse himself. , and then sing a double act with him to nip this scandal in the cradle.
After the limelight of this matter has passed, he will find an opportunity to deal with Zhou Ming in private. This can not only save the Zhou family's face, but also make Zhou Ming's memory long. After all, with the recent increase in strength, this kid has become more and more lawless. , if things continue like this, even if he doesn't get into big trouble this time, he won't be able to tell for sure in the future.
Originally, he thought that after he asked that question, Yi Ming would say without hesitation that he had never been there, and then he could follow the trend and ask why such rumors spread about Yi Ming not being there.
At that time, Yi Ming only needs to give a reason that is not too far-fetched, and he can make this matter a big deal and a trivial matter.
But what he never expected was that this boy Zhou Yiming was so courageous. Not only did he not feel ashamed at all after going to Huamanlou, but when he pressed him, he actually dared to tell him without hesitation Admitting that he had been there was not only a slap in Zhou Ruhai's face, but also made all his thoughts go down the drain.
