Mrs. Zhou ran desperately behind Zhou Ruhai and grabbed his hand holding the iron rod. After hearing Zhou Ming's words, she also froze on the spot and looked at Zhou Ming with dull eyes.
Ever since Laifu told Zhou Yiming's scandal, Mrs. Zhou has been convinced of the matter because she felt that although her son had always been obedient and well-read, and his character was very guaranteed, this was all In the past, my son was in poor health and could only stay at home every day and do what he could. Even if he wanted to go out and do mischief and attract bees and butterflies, he was more than willing but not powerful enough.
As for the well-behaved image he displayed at the time, it might have been a deliberate show-off in order to please his parents. After all, with his physical condition at the time, it was simply impossible for him to live independently. If he offended his parents, It's like breaking your own job.
But the situation is different now. Since his son has recovered his health, he has also developed martial arts skills. With his clever mind and strength, he has made great achievements within a few days of going to the Yamen. If it hadn't been for the unforeseen circumstances that offended the most powerful official in the dynasty, he might have been promoted to a noble position by now, and his fame would be endless.
A young man who has just entered the official career and has achieved such great achievements may not be able to control himself. If there are some friends who instigate him, it is not surprising that he makes mistakes in a place like Huamanlou.
And more importantly, although my son has already married a daughter-in-law, he is still in his prime of life. It is understandable that he can't control himself when he suddenly sees the warblers in Huamanlou.
It is precisely because of these thoughts that Mrs. Zhou does not believe that Yi Ming is innocent from the bottom of her heart. She only hopes that Yi Ming can have a better attitude when confessing his mistakes and try her best to win the forgiveness of her father and Lin Ajiao. She was satisfied if she could achieve this level. As for letting Zhou Ming escape punishment, she couldn't even think about it.
At this time, Mrs. Zhou was surprised when she heard Zhou Yiming said that she went to Huamanlou to arrest people, because she had never thought of this possibility before. If her son really went to Huamanlou to enforce the law, then Laifu said Aren’t those words purely false accusations?
Seeing that her son had hope of clearing his grievances, Mrs. Zhou was more excited than anyone else. On the one hand, she controlled her master's hands to prevent him from rashly harming her son before his son told the truth. On the other hand, she , she encouraged her son emotionally:
"Ming'er, don't be afraid of anything. Tell the truth about the matter quickly. When the time comes, my mother will make the decision for you. No one who hurt you or framed you can escape."
Seeing his mother being so protective of him, Zhou Yiming was deeply moved. He observed the expressions of Lin Ajiao and his father, and thought that in this world, it seems that the most reliable person is his mother. As for other people , when you are at the height of your glory, you may not be able to detect it, but when you hit rock bottom, the true colors of these people will be exposed.
"Mom, don't get excited, or you may hurt yourself. Don't worry. When has your son ever let you down?" Zhou Yiming said confidently with a smile on his face.
When Lin Ajiao saw this scene and thought of what Zhou Yiming said before, she suddenly felt confident. She thought that there really was something hidden about this matter, but why did her husband not reveal it until now? Are you going to tell the truth? If he had spoken earlier and explained the matter clearly, the matter would not have gotten into this mess, and he would not have been so angry.
Lin Ajiao felt that it didn't matter if she was a little more idle. After all, she was in good health and young. But what she couldn't accept was that Zhou Yiming actually looked at her parents so angry and remained indifferent. You know, they The two old people are old and not in good health. If they get angry because of this incident, Zhou Ming's charge of unfilial piety will never be washed away.
After Lin Ajiao thought about this, she sighed helplessly and shook her head. She felt that Zhou Yiming was too childish and immature at all. But when she thought about it, she immediately felt cold in her heart and the hairs on her hair stood on end.
Because she suddenly thought that the reason why Zhou Ming had not told the truth just now was to test the reaction of everyone, so as to determine whether the people around her had deep or shallow feelings for her. After thinking of this possibility, she was frightened. She immediately trembled all over and lost all strength, because it was obvious that in such a test, her performance just now was unqualified.
After all, when Zhou Ming was framed, she did not choose to believe it immediately. Instead, like everyone else, she felt that Zhou Ming was a heinous and dirty person. She did not even give him a chance to explain, but she had already concluded that he had committed the crime. Those mistakes.
Lin Ajiao recalled her childish behavior just now, and couldn't help but feel guilty. She wanted to rush over and apologize to Zhou Ming, but firstly she couldn't help herself, and secondly, doing so might interrupt Zhou Ming. She proved her innocence, so although she realized her fault, she did not choose to take any action at the first time. Instead, she stood there honestly and thought about what to do next.
After all, his behavior just now must have caused great harm to Zhou Ming. If he can't find a way to make up for it, it will undoubtedly cast a huge shadow on the relationship between the two of them. The relationship between a couple is difficult to maintain, but if it is destroyed, But quite easy.
If they don't nip the misunderstanding in the bud when it first occurs, then in the days to come, the couple will definitely become estranged and slowly drift apart until they become the most familiar strangers.
After having the idea of making up for her mistakes, Lin Ajiao did not act recklessly. After all, she had already suffered a loss once. This time she wanted to wait for the situation to gradually become clearer and everything was certain before taking action to ensure that nothing went wrong.
The servants in the yard who were worried about Zhou Ming when they heard Zhou Ming said that he went to Huamanlou to arrest people, they were all overjoyed, because based on their understanding of Zhou Ming, his arrogant His character has been determined, and he will definitely not deliberately fabricate reasons to deceive others in order to absolve himself of his guilt.
The servants came out of their hiding places one after another, intending to get closer to Yi Ming, so that they could not only hear his explanation clearly, but also share the young master's joy immediately. It could be said that it was a double kill.
Laifu, who was originally hiding behind the gate, was in a state of panic. He didn't expect that Yi Ming had a back-up plan, and that this damn boy could persist until the end to get this trump card. If you come out as an envoy, you are simply cheating yourself to death.
Because if Zhou Ming had taken out this trump card early, Laifu would still have a chance to make the most of it.
In that case, although he would not get a generous reward, at least he would be able to keep his position as housekeeper and his life would not be in danger.
But Zhou Yiming showed his trump card at the last moment, which made Laifu not even have the chance to jump over and over again, because he had already done things so well before, even if he was eloquent and wanted to turn things upside down. Black and white, in the end, it was useless. After all, everyone in the yard was not a fool. Everyone saw what he had done before.
Even if he desperately defends himself, he will not win everyone's trust. In the end, in the eyes of everyone, he will only become a ridiculous clown, and a clown whose life will not be long.
Laifu understood Zhou Yiming's character and knew that once he explained his grievances clearly, he would be the first to settle the score with him.
Normally, Yi Ming is a person who hates evil and takes revenge. He had hurt him so miserably just now. If he lost his mind, he might kill himself immediately.
The reason why Laifu had the courage to harm Zhou Ming like that before was because he thought he must have done no good by going to Huamanlou. Secondly, he thought that if Yi Ming could not wash away his grievances and was punished by his master, after the incident, My master will definitely protect himself, so his own safety is guaranteed.
But everything has changed now. If Yi Ming can really prove his innocence after a while, Laifu will become a heinous villain. By then, he will not only become the culprit who harmed Yi Ming, but also become The target of public criticism from top to bottom of the Zhou family.
If that really happened, not only would his master not be able to protect him, he might even become the first person to kill him.
The more Laifu thought about it, the more frightened he felt. He looked at the big house in front of him and thought that it seemed that the ill-gotten gains were not so easy to get. He had racked his brains and thought carefully and came up with such a good idea. He thought it was foolproof, but it turned out that In the end, it still fell short.
It's better now. He didn't get any of the benefits he thought about before. Instead, he was about to lose his life. If he had known this, wouldn't it be nice for him to just work as a errand and make a living?
Although he regretted it in his heart, Laifu knew very well that it was too late to say anything at this time. He could no longer stay in the Zhou family. For this reason, he should escape as soon as possible. If he hesitated a little, wait until Monday. After Ming made his words clear, everyone's attention turned to him, making it difficult to run away.
While paying attention to everyone's every move, he quietly stepped back, preparing to secretly open the door latch and sneak away quietly when no one was paying attention.
Because his back was to the door, he could only find the location of the door latch by touch and feeling. His hand searched here and there, but never found the right place, and finally he suddenly touched a hand.
He jumped up in fright. He quickly turned around and found that two strong servants suddenly appeared on both sides of the door. I don't know when.
The two servants looked at Laifu with evil intentions and said with a smile: "Butler, the house is so busy. If you don't tell me to watch the show at home, where are you going out in such a hurry?"
