Zhou Ya was not easy to fool. As soon as she heard it, she knew that he didn't want to do it, and her face instantly darkened!
Before she could lose her temper, a noisy sound came from outside, and Qin Ming's voice could be faintly heard.
"Hurry up! Where's your mother? Even if your father isn't home, your mother must be at home! Look at how you beat our young master. No matter what happens today, you have to give our young master an explanation!
Even if your father is a general, our family is not to be bullied!"
"Let me go! How dare you, a servant, kidnap this young master? When my father comes back, I will definitely ask him to avenge me! Let me go!"
"Alright, go ahead and yell! Go ahead and yell! I just don't believe there's no law under the emperor's feet. It's you who's bullying our young master, and you think you're right?"
"Mother! Mother! Help! Someone is bullying me!"
Zhou Ya was so angry that she didn't care about anything else when she heard the noise outside. She stood up and ran out.
When they arrived at the door, they saw a group of people pushing Qin Ming into the yard. Qin Ming was tied up tightly with ropes.
At the end of the crowd was a hand-carried sedan chair with a child sitting on it with bandages on his legs.
Zhou Ya didn't bother to ask more questions. When she saw her son's hair was a mess, his clothes were dirty and tied up, she became furious instantly.
Coupled with the pent-up anger, he started to lose his temper before even asking anything.
"Ming'er, what the hell is going on? Who are you? How dare you kidnap someone in broad daylight? This is lynching. Aren't you afraid that I'll sue you?"
Qin Ming saw her eyes turn red. Although she was almost as tall as Zhou Ya, she still cried and threw herself into Zhou Ya's arms, crying so pitifully.
If someone didn't know this, they would think that someone had done something to him.
The group of people on the opposite side were very calm. The maidservant softly called out to the servants to slowly move the sedan chair to the ground. After giving a few gentle instructions, she took a few steps forward to face Zhou Ya and her son.
When Butler Wu saw the maid, his eyes twitched a few times.
He knew this man. He had seen him before when he went out with his general for social events. When he saw the other person's identity, his legs trembled.
"Hehehe, Miss Liu, why are you here?"
Butler Wu was quite humble and bowed deeply to the maid, which even stunned Zhou Ya.
Although she called herself the general's wife, for so long, Butler Wu had always kept his distance from her. Or rather, he had hardly shown her any respect at all.
Now he turned around and was so humble to a maid, it was simply a slap in her face!
"Wu Ping! What do you mean? Can't you see Ming'er is injured? Hurry up and help!"
Wu Ping was speechless. This woman probably only used her brain to coax men. She really had no tact at all.
When the maid saw her attitude, she sneered, "Sir, I'll call you Madam for now! Although we haven't been formally married yet, I think you're the only one who has the final say in this mansion now."
Madam, please don't be so quick to put the blame on others. Although we kidnapped Young Master Qin, we didn't use any physical force on him. Those stains were caused by his struggle.
Instead, it was our young master who was inexplicably pushed down from the high platform by him and broke his leg. No matter what, you should at least give us an explanation!
As for us, we don't ask for much. First of all, the medical expenses must be compensated. In addition, we hope that you can take our young master out to apologize in public!
As long as you can do this, we will forgive your mistakes and let you go for now. But if you insist on not doing so, then we will have no choice but to report you to the authorities!
Madam, choose!"
The maidservant explained the situation logically and then stood aside. She did not rush them, giving the mother and son enough time to discuss it on their own.
No matter how stupid Zhou Ya was, she could see that the other party was not someone to be trifled with, so she quickly pulled Qin Ming into the house.
As she untied Qin Ming's rope, she whispered, "What's going on? Whose family is this person outside? Why are they so rude?"
Qin Ming stammered for a long time and couldn't say anything. He lowered his head and frantically looked for excuses.
However, the people outside were clearly not going to leave easily, so he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. He could only hesitate for a while before slowly starting to tell the story.
"They, they are the ones who cheated our family out of 1.2 million taels!"
Zhou Ya was stunned when she heard this. "What did you say? You said the people outside are from the Yongwu Marquis family?"
Zhou Ya's voice was so sharp that Qin Ming subconsciously shrank his neck, "Well, that, that was Li Yin, I, I didn't mean to push him.
I, I just lost the bet. If I didn't go, I wouldn't be able to hang out in our circle anymore! Besides, they had screwed our family so much back then.
I, I was just teaching them a lesson for my dad! I didn't expect anyone to see me, and I didn't use much strength; he lost his balance.
Besides, my father is now a general in charge of the barracks, no less powerful than them in the Marquis of Bravery!"
The more Qin Ming spoke, the more he felt that he had done nothing wrong. In the end, he even straightened his back, acting as if he had done a good deed.
But Zhou Ya knew very well that the Qin family and the Yongwu Marquis Mansion could not be compared at all. They were not in the same class in terms of financial resources, power, and strength.
Although Zhou Ya was very scared to face them, she still did not intend to admit it.
Because once he admits it, his son's future reputation will be ruined.
And if Qin Zheng knew about it, he would probably be angry, so I have to find a way to smooth things over.
Her eyes rolled around, and after a while she went to the bedroom and brought out a box.
She forced a smile on her face and walked straight towards the maid.
"Girl, look, Ming'er is still a child after all. It's normal for children to quarrel with each other. He didn't do it on purpose. He just accidentally bumped into Master Li.
However, I just scolded him severely. Although it was an unintentional mistake, it still caused Young Master Li to be injured. I really can't bear it.
The silver in this box is a small token of my appreciation. I'll use it to buy some medicine and supplements for Master Li to take good care of his health, and then we'll be done with this matter. What do you think?"
Zhou Ya's smile was stiff, and Liu Xi almost laughed out of anger when she heard what she said.
But she finally held back, "Okay, thank you, Madam Zhou. I'll accept the compensation on behalf of our young master. I wonder when the public apology will be made?"
Zhou Ya's face froze, and after she came to her senses, she looked at Liu Xi with eyes full of anger.
She looked at Liu Xi's smiling face in front of her and wished she could just go up and tear her face off.
She took several deep breaths to suppress her anger.
"Miss, you're joking. It's just two kids playing around. Why make such a big fuss? It's just making a fool of yourself. It's not a big deal after all. As the saying goes, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. Why don't we just make a big deal out of a small one?"
