Chapter 447 What were you thinking at that time
Wen Zhu turned around and looked at Jin Yuyao and said, "Madam, aren't you curious about who it is?"
Jin Yuyao said: "What's there to be curious about? It must be that maid. Who else could it be besides her?"
Wen Zhu asked in confusion, "Madam, how do you know?"
Jin Yuyao said, "That maid will be beaten to death anyway, so we must make the most of her and squeeze out every last bit of her value. The Zhou family will definitely not push Lin Yue out, so letting this maid out will be better for everyone."
Wen Zhu said: "That Lin Yue is really abominable. She pushed a maid out and hid behind her. If the maid didn't tell her about her, she would be fine."
Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "You are too naive. Lin Yue must have something on him. She can't escape. Even if she doesn't die this time, there will be another time."
Wen Zhu said, "I now realize that only Madam is truly kind to us. What kind of person is the Prime Minister?"
Ling Yun then said, "He's a man who's too obsessed with appearances to suffer for his life. Anyway, the Prime Minister's wife and her son won't have an easy time when they return."
Wen Zhu said with relief: "That's what they deserve."
When Zhou Shaokang, the Prime Minister's wife and the other two got on the carriage to go back, all three of them looked unhappy and didn't say a word.
In fact, the Prime Minister's wife knew in her heart that even if it was Lin Yue who did it, it would be nothing. So you should be smart and not be discovered. That's what a master does. The problem is what you do yourself.
Are you afraid that others won’t know if you’ve done something bad?
He even went to someone else's store. I don't know what he was thinking, but he insisted on trying to make a presence known. Now he looks bad.
Not only will it be embarrassing, but it will also be difficult to deal with the master when you return.
Mrs. Zhou also felt a little resentful towards Lin Yue.
He got off the carriage at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Zhou Shaokang said, "Mother, who should we send to the streets to clear things up?"
Seeing her mother-in-law's unhappy expression, Lin Yue didn't dare to speak anymore.
Madam Zhou looked at Chunliu who was tied up and came in from behind and said, "Who else can go? Let her go. Do you think you can let me go?"
After saying that, he glanced at Lin Yue and left.
Young Master Zhou also instructed the housekeeper to do it and then walked towards his own yard.
Lin Yue trotted after Zhou Shaokang: "Husband, listen to me, I don't know why Chunliu did this. You have to believe me."
Zhou Shaokang had a dark face and didn't say a word along the way.
As soon as he entered the main hall, he sat in the main seat.
Lin Yue walked in and whispered, "Husband, you have to trust me, okay? Please say something to me. Don't be silent like this, okay? I'm so scared."
Zhou Shaokang said in a deep voice: "Tell me the truth, did you send people out to spread the rumor?"
Lin Yue explained anxiously: "Husband, don't you trust me? How could I do such a thing?"
Zhou Shaokang frowned and said, "Do you think everyone else is a fool? How can a maid be so bold?"
Lin Yue was startled but immediately recovered and said, "My husband, it's really not true. Don't you know who I am? How could I do such a thing?
My husband has already withdrawn from their clothing store, and I am already very happy. Besides, you haven't been out for a while, and I know everything. How could I do such a thing? "
Zhou Shaokang said, "You think if you don't admit it, then I won't know it's yours. She's just a servant. Don't you have any responsibility for doing such a thing? Don't you need money to spread the word so widely? It wasn't you who instigated it."
Lin Yue cried out, "I really didn't do that. It really wasn't me. Husband, you have to believe me."
Zhou Shaokang looked at him crying and thought it was very annoying, so he walked out.
Lin Yue watched him walk out, then sat on the ground helplessly and burst into tears.
As soon as Zhou Shaokan arrived in the yard, he saw Mother Kang coming to his mother's side.
"Third Young Master."
Zhou Haokang asked, "What's the matter with Mother Kang coming here?"
Mother Kang smiled and said, "Where is the Third Young Master's wife?"
Zhou Shaokang said: "Inside the house."
Mother Kang said, "The master asked the Third Young Master's wife and the young master to go over there."
Zhou Shaokang also heard the crying in the house and thought that Huikang's mother should have heard it too.
He said, "Okay, we'll be there in a moment."
Mother Kang left.
Zhou Shaokang turned around and went back into the room, only to see Lin Yue sitting on the ground in a disgraceful manner.
"Why don't you get up quickly? What are you doing?"
Lin Yue was originally feeling more and more sad the more she thought about it, but when she heard the voice, she raised her head and looked at Shou Shaokang and said, "Husband."
Seeing him like this, Zhou Shaokang couldn't bear to scold him anymore and whispered, "Hurry up and pack up, father is looking for us."
Lin Yue nodded and wanted to get up but couldn't for a while.
Zhou Shaokang looked at his embarrassed appearance and stretched out his hand.
Lin Yue put her hand in Zhou Shaokang's hand and then stood up.
"Then wait a moment, my dear. I'll go in and clean up."
Zhou Shaokang nodded.
Lin Yue quickly entered the inner room.
Zhou Shaokang was waiting outside.
It didn't take long for Lin Yue to change her clothes and put on new makeup before coming out.
Zhou Shaokang stood up and the two of them walked towards Mrs. Zhou's yard.
As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw the maids and old women standing in the yard.
He looked at Lin Yue and said, "Don't be afraid. It's okay if you admit it wasn't you who did it."
Lin Yue nodded gratefully, she knew that her husband still cared about her.
After they went in.
Zhou Shaokang and Lin Yue bowed their heads and said, "Father and Mother."
At this time, Prime Minister Zhou slammed the table and said, "What happened today? You have brought shame to our Prime Minister's Mansion."
Mrs. Zhou was a little scared when she saw Prime Minister Zhou getting angry, but she was afraid that her youngest son would be punished, so she said, "Master, you will scare Kang'er by doing this. Can you please talk to Kang'er nicely?"
Prime Minister Zhou said, "How can I speak properly? After something like this happened, where can I put my face?"
Madam Zhou said, "What else could it be? Wasn't it just that maid doing it to vent her master's anger? It was all done by the servants on their own initiative."
The Prime Minister snorted coldly, "You've been pampering him like this. Look at what he's become now. Do you think everyone else is a fool? This is really embarrassing. Now everyone in the capital knows about it. Will I dare to go out again in the future?"
Zhou Shaokang said, "I just found out about this matter today, father. I am sorry for bringing shame to him."
Then he knelt down and said, "Father can punish me as you wish."
Prime Minister Zhou said sternly: "The county lady has no dealings with us, and you still dare to provoke her? What are you thinking? Don't you see that she has caught the eye of the eldest princess?
I can escape unscathed from Prince Cheng's Palace."
After hearing this, Lin Yue wanted to slap herself twice. She didn't know what she was thinking at the time, but she did it. It was too late to regret it now.
She looked at Zhou Shaokang, who was already in poor health and was still kneeling there, and she also knelt on the ground: "Father, this is all my fault. It was all because of my wrong thoughts. Don't blame my husband. This is all my fault."
Prime Minister Zhou looked at Lin Yue and said, "You are a woman who doesn't take care of your husband and children at home. You did something like this today. Do you still take our Prime Minister's Mansion seriously?
If the matter is exposed, it will be our Prime Minister's Mansion that suffers. What are you thinking? Did you do it on purpose?"
Although Prime Minister Zhou was usually very serious, he had never spoken so harshly, but this time he said such vicious words.
Lin Yue could no longer stop her tears from flowing.
"Father, it was all because of my daughter-in-law's momentary thought that she made such a mistake. If you want to punish me, punish me. My husband and he don't know about it. It's all my fault."
Prime Minister Zhou shouted outside, "Someone come?"
