It's time to untie this knot in my heart.
Zhou Cheng didn't want to drag things out; if it was a misunderstanding, he wanted to clear it up quickly. He immediately looked at Zhou Shiying with a firm and sincere gaze and revealed the secret that he had been unable to explain back then:
"Lin Jiaoyun's matter is all in the past. You did nothing wrong. I have never blamed you, really not."
“I know that everything you did was for my own good. You went to Pingyang City against all odds and didn’t contact me for two years. You were afraid of hearing about how I humbly tried to please Lin Jiaoyun.”
"But I'm telling you this too! Zhou Cheng has never let you down."
"Back then, I abandoned my dignity and disregarded my reputation to please Lin Jiaoyun, all to save the Zhou family. I have explained many times that there were other reasons, but you all thought I was just making excuses to comfort you."
"Now, do you see? The Zhou family, which has now turned the tables against all odds, is the reason I pursued Lin Jiaoyun back then!"
What?
Zhou Shiying, who was already feeling dizzy, momentarily lost consciousness for a few seconds.
She looked up in a daze, and it took a while for her eyes to regain focus.
If I heard correctly...
Cheng'er said!
He said that there was a reason why he flattered Lin Jiaoyun back then. It wasn't because he really liked her, but to help the Zhou family turn the tide, like now.
Now?
As soon as Zhou Shiying turned his head, he could see the long spears carried by the Zhou family members. That small weapon could kill people from hundreds of meters away invisibly, and it was even more feared by Emperor Yan!
Things I couldn't understand before, I can now suddenly see through the clouds.
Zhou Shiying pointed a trembling finger at the rifle, her voice weak and shaky as she asked what was on her mind: "So, so, is this why you refuse to give up, Cheng'er?"
"yes!"
"You knew back then that the Zhou family would suffer this calamity?"
"yes!"
"So when I rushed to the Lin residence and beat up Lin Jiaoyun, you stood on Lin Jiaoyun's side and spoke up for her. Actually, that wasn't your true intention, was it?"
"yes!"
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is... God, what have I done...?"
Zhou Shiying felt her blood rushing.
A wave of overwhelming regret washed over Zhou Shiying, and her heart began to race. She clutched her chest and took several deep breaths.
Finally, due to extreme physical weakness and emotional agitation, he fainted.
Zhou Cheng was startled and quickly checked Zhou Shi's breathing. He was relieved to find that Zhou Shi was only temporarily unconscious. He then sent someone to urge the doctor while he helped Zhou Shi to his room to rest.
However,
I just pushed the door open.
A slender maid with barely any clothing rushed out.
She must have been observing in the room for a long time; as soon as she rushed out, her target was Zhou Cheng, and she naturally threw herself at his feet, crying, "Young Master, waaaaah..."
"Young master, you have pity on me..."
"Who are you?" Zhou Cheng squinted.
Black Rat walked over and leaned down to say, "Young Master, she is the personal maid of Marquis Pingyang. It seems that Marquis Pingyang doesn't like her much, as he didn't even take her with him when he fled."
Yeah?
A murderous glint flashed in Zhou Cheng's eyes.
"Young master, sob..." The slender-waisted maid suddenly let out a sob.
