Chapter 286
Shi Fengju thought for a moment and said, "It's half true and half false! At first, Mistress Zhou did ask someone to help for a while, but then she suddenly stopped. Anyway, you can rest assured about this matter for now! "
Shi Fengming was stunned and sighed, "I know why. It must be because Jingyi is unwilling. Big Brother, Jingyi must still be thinking of me in her heart. "
Shi Fengju looked at him and said, "Perhaps! I'm afraid that Lord Zhou and Mistress Zhou will be very angry because of this. I'm afraid you'll have to suffer more tomorrow! Be mentally prepared! "Shi Fengju patted his shoulder as he spoke.
Shi Fengming stiffened and his face turned pale. He was very dissatisfied and thought to himself, You should be mentally prepared too. Cousin Gu is still in our residence eyeing us covetously!
The next day, the two brothers rode their horses and rushed to Zhou Residence with three or four of their trusted servants. When they arrived at the entrance, Shi Fengming, who had been nervous all the way, almost lost his balance. He looked at Shi Fengju for help, but Shi Fengju smiled faintly and calmly.
Shi Fengming gritted his teeth and could only go forward and knock on the door.
The gatekeeper did not recognize him. He sized him up and asked politely with a smile, "May I ask who young master is? What business do you have in our residence? "
Shi Fengming coughed and said, "The Shi family of Qingzhou requests an audience. Is your Lord — in?"
"Qingzhou's Shi family?" This gatekeeper was quite clever. He was startled for a moment before his eyes suddenly lit up. He said, "You, you are our young miss's son-in-law —"
Shi Fengming's words were vague. He said that he wanted to see Lord Zhou because he knew that Lord Zhou was easy to talk to. Who knew that this gatekeeper would be so clever and immediately pointed out his identity? Of course, he could not hide it and could only say, "Yes, quickly go and report!"
"You, please wait a moment!" The gatekeeper was very surprised and quickly ran back to report.
Coincidentally, Lord Zhou and his son were both not in today, so only Mistress Zhou was in charge. When Mistress Zhou heard that someone from the Shi family had come, the anger in her heart surged. She carefully asked about the appearance of the person who came and found that he did not look like a servant. She thought to herself. Who would have thought that Shi Fengming would be so bold as to come knocking on her door? He thought that Shi Fengju's visit was most likely related to his family's business with the Shi family, so he nodded and invited him in.
When Fengming and Shi Fengju appeared in front of her, Madam Zhou was stunned. Her face immediately darkened. She pointed at Shi Fengming and shouted, "Why did you let this person in? Men, throw him out! Get a rag and wipe the floor! "
"Mother-in-law! I — "Shi Fengming panicked.
"Shut up!" Old Mistress Zhou shouted and sneered, "Second Young Master Shi, who are you calling mother-in-law? Our Zhou family has nothing to do with you! Who is your mother-in-law? The Zhou family doesn't welcome you. Get out! Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you face! "
Madam Zhou thought about how her daughter had been stripping herself of all her adornments, wearing plain clothes and no longer touched meat or fish in her meals. It was obvious that she had sworn to become a monk. Her heart ached and she felt helpless. Rijeong felt uneasy. When he saw Shi Fengming, his eyes were about to spit fire.
"Young Master Shi! My master and my son are out. If you have anything to say, I'll tell them to look for you! Forgive me for not being able to entertain you. Young Master Shi, please go back! " Madam Zhou was quite lively with Shi Fengju. She turned to Shi Fengming and said fiercely, "Why aren't you getting out! Why are you still standing here? Hmph, don't think that I don't dare to hit you! "
"Madam Zhou, actually, I'm here with my second brother to apologize to Madam Zhou and Master Zhou. There's no other reason! On account of my second brother's sincerity, Madam Zhou, why don't you let him finish his words? "Shi Fengju hurriedly said with a smile.
Madam Zhou sneered and raised her hand to stop him, "Young Master Shi, we can't accept your words! The past is the past, and our families have nothing to do with each other. What's there to apologize for? Hurry up and leave! If you don't leave, don't blame me for being impolite! When the time comes and things get ugly, you asked for it. Don't blame me! "
"Mother-in-law!" Shi Fengming took two steps forward and knelt down in front of Madam Zhou, "It was my fault for causing Jingyi to be wronged. Mother-in-law, please forgive me!"
A soft gasp could be heard in the hall. Madam Zhou was also stunned. Shi Fengming had always disliked their family and their daughter. It was normal for him to be sarcastic and not say a word with a cold face. He actually knelt down in front of her?
Madam Zhou tilted her head to look at the nanny beside her and sneered, "Is there something wrong with my eyes and ears? Why did I see the second young master of the Shi family kneeling in front of me and calling me 'Mother-in-law' and 'Mother-in-law'? "
The nanny bowed and replied, "Madam, you didn't see or hear wrongly. The second young master of the Shi family did kneel in front of you and say that."
"Is that so?" Madam Zhou sneered, "That's strange! The sun really rose from the west this time! I say, second young master of the Shi family, I don't dare to be called 'Mother-in-law'. Don't say that and ruin my daughter's reputation. Otherwise, my boss will give you a slap! You've wronged yourself today. What are you trying to do now? If you have something to say, just say it! If you're done, quickly get lost! "
"Yue —" Shi Fengming had only said one word when he saw Madam Zhou's cold warning gaze. He changed his words abruptly and could only say, "Zhou, Madam, I'm here to bring Jingyi back … Everything that happened before was my fault. I will definitely treat Jingyi well from now on. I beg you to fulfill my wish!"
"What did you say!" Madam Zhou stood up immediately. Her face was tense due to anger and her face was snow-white. She said sternly, "Say it again!"
Shi Fengming was shocked by her anger, but he still braced himself and said it.
Madam Zhou was so angry that her legs went soft and she took a step back. She pointed at him and scolded, "Shi Fengming, you're shameless! Do you think our Zhou family is easy to bully? The black and white ink of the divorce agreement hasn't even dried yet, and you're here to say this? Do you think this is child's play? No matter how worthless my daughter is, she can't be teased by you over and over again! Come, throw him out! "
"Madam Zhou!" Shi Fengju hurriedly said, "Madam Zhou, my second brother is sincerely remorseful. Madam, please give him another chance!"
Madam Zhou sneered and said to Shi Fengju, "No!" She raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you waiting for?!"
All the maidservants and grannies agreed and immediately swarmed over, pulling Shi Fengming in a flurry of hands and feet.
"Madam Zhou! Madam Zhou! "Shi Fengming shouted anxiously." I'm serious, this is not child's play! I really regret it. I will treat Jingyi well in the future, Madam Zhou! "
"Throw him out! Quickly throw him out! "Madam Zhou was even more angry. She thought to herself, You regret it? If you regret it, we should regret it with you? My daughter finally escaped from the fire pit. Unless I'm stupid, I won't send her back.
Shi Fengju was very calm. If this matter was too easy to settle, it would be abnormal. It was good to let him suffer a little! Wasn't it just throwing him out? It was already good enough that he didn't hit him!
"Cough, what are you doing!" A dignified middle-aged man's voice sounded from the side.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over. It was Lord Zhou and Young Master Zhou.
"What a scandal! Leave now!" Lord Zhou scolded, and all the maids and older female servants bowed their heads and left.
"Lord!" Madam Zhou angrily stepped forward and said, "This bastard —"
"Shi Fengming! You still dare to come to our house! " Only then did Young Master Zhou see that the person being pushed by the maidservants was Shi Fengming. In a moment of anger, he rushed forward and grabbed Shi Fengming's collar and said angrily, "You bastard, you bullied my sister and broke her heart, yet you still dare to come here! I'll beat you to death! "After saying that, he punched Shi Fengming's cheek.
Shi Fengming closed his eyes and took the punch. It was so painful that the bones in his cheek were almost dislocated. Young Master Zhou saw that Shi Fengming didn't dodge or fight back. He was only stunned for a second and waved his fist again. "Shi Fengming, don't think that I won't dare to beat you just because you don't fight back! I won't be able to vent my anger even if I beat you to death! "
This punch was stronger than before. Shi Fengming couldn't help but stagger backward. He groaned and a fishy taste welled up in his mouth. A trace of blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth.
"Second Brother!" Shi Fengju hurriedly went forward to support him. He smiled bitterly at Young Master Zhou and said, "Young Master Zhou, no matter how bad my second brother is, your anger should have subsided by now, right? If you continue, he'll die! "
Only then did Young Master Zhou see Shi Fengju. He stopped and said, "Young Master Shi is also here! I'm not afraid to say it in front of you. This bastard won't be able to vent my anger even if I beat him to death! For your sake, I'll let him off for today. Let him get out of our residence and never appear in front of me again. Otherwise, I'll beat him up every time I see him! "
"Brother-in-law —"
"Shut up! Who are you calling Brother-in-law? "Young Master Zhou glared at him. He was even angrier than when Madam Zhou was called" Mother-in-law ".
Shi Fengming was so scared that he subconsciously hid behind Shi Fengju. He said, "Young Master Zhou, I'm here to admit my guilt. If you're still angry, you can beat me a few more times! Let me see Jingyi! I — "
"You still dare to mention my sister!" Young Master Zhou was furious. He rushed over to pull him out and continue beating him.
Shi Fengju hurriedly tried to persuade him. Madam Zhou, however, shouted from the side, "My son is helping your sister vent her anger. Don't be polite to such a shameless person!"
Seeing this, Lord Zhou glared at her and hurriedly shouted, "Stop! What are you doing!"
Young Master Zhou glared at Shi Fengming and retreated. However, his eyes were still staring at Shi Fengming. His face was cold, as if he was ready to pounce on Shi Fengming and beat him up again.
"He's a guest. Is this how you treat your guest? Since when did our Zhou family become so unruly? " Lord Zhou glared at his wife and son. He then cupped his hands and smiled at Shi Fengju. "My son is being rude. Young Master Shi, please don't lower yourself to his level."
Shi Fengming secretly let out a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that Lord Zhou was the only reasonable person in the Zhou family! Shi Fengju, who knew Lord Zhou's character well, secretly cursed. He could only cup his hands and return the greeting. He smiled and said, "It was my second brother's fault. You can't blame Young Master Zhou! This is what he deserves! "
