Zhou Ruhai understood better that there was a reason for his wife to be so angry, and she was just scolding him. If he met an uneducated and poorly cultivated wife, she would not just push him, she would definitely follow him. Making a big fuss by yourself, throwing tantrums and swearing at others is a routine operation.
"I just asked casually and didn't say anything else. Madam, why do you have to worry so much!" Zhou Ruhai had no choice but to give in and coax his wife.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the yard laughed heartily, and at the same time felt that their master was asking for trouble.
When Lin Ajiao saw her father-in-law's behavior, she was suddenly touched. She thought that instead of thinking of other tricks to redeem the harm she had caused to her husband-in-law, it would be better to admit her mistake directly and sincerely repent. Only in this way can the two sides be fundamentally eliminated. Gaps and misunderstandings between individuals.
Lin Ajiao nodded secretly and decided to wait until Zhou Ming finished handling the matter before going forward to admit his mistake to him. No matter what kind of punishment he gave her, she would bear it silently and never complain.
At this time, Huan'er and Chun Ni'er, who had just fainted on the ground, had already woken up under the treatment of several little sisters. They heard Yi Ming's words for the first time and were confused about the situation for a while. , so they all stood up, walked to Lin Ajiao, and asked timidly:
"Young mistress, what on earth is going on? Are those things the young master said true?"
Lin Ajiao looked back at them and nodded with a smile: "I believe in the young master's character and what he said will not be wrong. It turns out that we all wrongly blamed him. He went to Huamanlou for serious business. It’s not like some people say, I’m looking for flowers and willows.”
After receiving such a reply, Huan'er and Chun Nier felt extremely happy. The two hugged each other and jumped up and down, expressing their happiness freely.
However, after the initial good mood passed, Chun Nier felt a little disappointed. She had already made up her mind just now. As long as Yi Ming did not lose his life, even if he became disabled, she would take care of him for the rest of her life.
Now that she saw that Yi Ming was about to wash away the stains on her body, Chun Nier understood that she had lost even the chance to be with Yi Ming like this.
Feeling dejected, she could only slowly walk into the crowd of servants to hide her sadness.
Zhou Yiming knelt on the ground for so long that his knees hurt, so he wanted to explain everything clearly as soon as possible so that he could stand up early.
Seeing his father's embarrassed look, although Zhou Yiming felt that he deserved it, he felt a little relieved. He understood that his father's questioning of him just now was also a sign of caring for him.
"Dad, if you don't believe me, I can call everyone in our yamen and let you interrogate them one by one. If you find anything wrong with me, don't use family methods to deal with me. Just give it to me. It's a pleasure to take my life away, and I will have no complaints." Zhou Ming said very frankly.
At this time, after Zhou Ruhai suffered a big loss, he no longer dared to doubt Yi Ming: "Your mother is right, don't I understand my son? Dad believes what you say, just keep talking."
Zhou Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to continue his story: "Although the informant said that there were many spies in the city, the exact number and where they were distributed did not give accurate information.
The person who brought the present report only determined the location of one thief, and this person was hidden in Huamanlou. But who this person was, even the person who brought the present report did not know, so we could only check it in person. "
After hearing this, everyone present suddenly realized that it turned out that Zhou Yiming went to Huamanlou for such a noble reason. The doubts and shame they had towards Zhou Ming suddenly disappeared, replaced by admiration and gratitude. After all, faced with such a dangerous situation, few people dared to face the difficulties. Even the top leader of the inspection yamen in the south of the city, Zhou Yiming said, wanted to run away at that time.
Like a puddle of mud, Laifu sat on the ground only one step away from the gate. After listening to Zhou Ming's words, he, who had no emotion at all, immediately hugged his head and cried. I felt deeply guilty for the destructive behavior I had committed, and at the same time, I also felt that I was a smart fool.
For a small profit, he actually wanted to harm his young master. Isn't this tantamount to digging his own grave? Even if his plan is successfully completed and his young master is harmed, can Mrs. Zhou and Master Zhou spare him?
Everyone in the Zhou family has brains. Seeing that he is not a human being, they will definitely join forces to deal with him in the future. By then, it will be impossible for him to live a good life.
The two servants guarding the door were deeply moved after hearing Zhou Ming's great reason. They even secretly wiped away tears because they had doubts about Zhou Ming at the beginning. and misunderstanding, both of them felt ashamed whenever they thought about it.
Thinking that the main culprit for the young master's grievances was Laifu, the two of them were filled with anger towards Laifu.
One of the servants roared at Laifu angrily: "Old pig dog, did you hear what the young master said? Look at how great and brave our young master is. In order to protect my country, Dachu, and Dachuzi, He did not hesitate to put himself in danger for the safety of the people. He went to Huamanlou just to arrest people!
And you, this bitch, actually indiscriminately slandered him for going to Huamanlou and not doing any good things. You are so courageous! Do you think everyone is as nasty as you?
If I hadn't kept you for the young master's punishment, I would have kicked you to death. "
After saying these words, the two servants punched and kicked Laifu until Laifu fell to the ground and stopped wailing.
As the chief manager of the Zhou Mansion, Laifu had never been wronged like this before. Let alone being beaten, even if he wanted to hit someone, he would not do it himself because he was afraid of hurting his hands.
Laifu, who fell to the ground, was disheartened, but he felt that all the abuse he was suffering now was deserved. After all, he had done it himself.
Because everyone in the yard was listening to Zhou Ming's speech attentively, no one noticed the two men at the gate beating Laifu.
"At that time, Deng, our patrol inspector, immediately backed down when he heard that the mission was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, with my persuasion, he finally plucked up the courage and decided to lead us men to Huamen Tower to find out what was going on. "Zhouyi Ming continued, "In order to cover up people's eyes and avoid alerting others, after we arrived at Huamanlou, we pretended to have fun and secretly searched for the whereabouts of the thief.
But after searching for a long time, nothing was found, as if the thief had disappeared.
Just when everyone thought that the report might be wrong, I suddenly discovered that something was wrong with the oiran girl who was full of flowers, so I went to approach the oiran myself..."
Then Zhou Ming told all the details about how he got close to this oiran girl, how he exposed his true identity, and finally had a fight with him.
After everyone heard the whole process, their eyes widened and they were in shock.
When they heard Zhou Ming talking about a battle with an oiran girl, they were all on tenterhooks, because for most of the battle, Yi Ming was at a disadvantage and had no hope of winning.
After learning that Zhou Ming used his wit to turn defeat into victory at the last moment, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. While everyone admired Zhou Ming, they also had more confidence in his future success. After all, he has such a smart mind. Coupled with such superb martial arts cultivation, it is difficult for such a rare talent not to be taken seriously by the imperial court.
After learning that Zhou Yiming had made another great contribution, Zhou Ruhai and Mrs. Zhou were extremely happy. They supported each other and looked at each other. Their eyes seemed to tell each other that there was such an outstanding person as Zhou Ming. Son, the two of them are contented in this life.
At this time, Lin Ajiao was in the most complicated mood. She learned that her husband-in-law went to Huamanlou not only to have fun, but to risk his own life to capture the thieves of the Northern Kingdom for the sake of the safety of the country.
But after my husband made such a heroic act, he did not receive congratulations and praise from his family immediately after returning home. Instead, he was misunderstood and suffered great grievances because of some slanderous remarks made by villains. The most important thing is that at that time, even he himself They don’t understand Xianggong.
Lin Ajiao felt heartbroken when she thought about the scene where Yi Ming and the Oiran narrowly escaped death during the battle. She thought that she was not with her husband at the time, so she could just help him catch the thief. However, after her husband came home, she, a wife, did not Giving him consideration and comfort at the first time, but instead misunderstanding him and hurting him like everyone else, this is simply not what humans do.
Lin Ajiao was extremely embarrassed and angry. If she hadn't wanted to wait for the matter to pass before she could say sorry to Zhou Ming, she might have acted impulsively and committed suicide.
"Good son, let me tell you this, my biological son, Zhou Ruhai, cannot possibly do anything worse than a pig or a dog!
Ming'er, get up and talk! "
Zhou Ruhai was very excited for a moment. He quickly picked up his son and patted him on the shoulder, with a very guilty expression on his face.
Mrs. Zhou hurried forward and looked at the injuries on Zhou Ming's body distressedly: "Look at all the injuries, the clothes are all torn. I feel so distressed.
Why were you so stupid then? Seeing that you can't beat him, why don't you call someone? "
Zhou Yiming rubbed his knees, and his mother's concern for him made him feel warm in his heart: "Oh, my mother, you don't know, I am the person with the highest level of martial arts cultivation in our yamen.
It was very difficult for me to deal with that northern thief, and I couldn't take any advantage. Even if I called my companions over, I would just let them kill me. Rather than doing this, it would be better for me to fight alone. "
