Just now, Zhou was still able to keep his mind steady, even a little proud, but now his face was pale and his mind was in chaos...

Seeing her like this, the maid didn't know whether she should let Wei Jing in.

After hesitating for a moment, she could only say cautiously, "Madam, the Second Master wants to see you. Do you want me to ask him to leave?"

"You bastard, don't you see that the old lady is in poor spirits? Why are you still asking questions here? Get out now!"

Seeing that something was wrong with Zhou, Nanny Wang stepped forward with a ferocious look and twisted the maid's arm fiercely.

The maid screamed, sobbed, trembled and dodged, and finally ran out crying.

Zhou slumped down on the chair, her face pale and muttering.

"How could it be? How could he still be alive? He should be dead. He disappeared for a few days, so how come he is back now?!"

Nanny Wang sighed helplessly upon seeing this. She had told Zhou at that time that if she really wanted to kill Wei Jing, she would have to go ahead and stab him a few more times to prevent any accidents!

However, Zhou was very sure, and as a servant, she couldn't say much.

Now that Wei Jing has come back, how can one not regret it?

But now, there's no point in saying anything.

The most urgent task is to get this matter over with!

Otherwise, if Wei Jing really knew that the person who assassinated him was related to the old lady, it would be terrible.

"Madam, you have to cheer up! Now that the Second Master is back, we can only look for another opportunity. You have to keep your mind steady and make sure he doesn't notice anything wrong, otherwise it will be difficult for you to take action next time!"

"Bastard thing!"

With a slap, Zhou stood up and slapped Nanny Wang hard in the face.

She covered her face, her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

He stammered, not coming to his senses for a long time, not knowing why he was slapped in the face.

"Madam, what are you doing?"

Zhou stared at her fiercely, "It's all your fault! Why didn't you persuade me a little more and find a killer to kill him completely?"

"That's great. Now that he's back, all our efforts have been wasted!"

Nanny Wang's eyes were red with grievance. She had not expected that she would suffer the consequences after she had just taught the little girl a lesson.

Zhou was the master and she was the servant. How could a servant order the master around?

Besides, she didn't want to get too involved in this matter!

What else can she do if she doesn't listen after being advised twice?

I didn't expect that I would be beaten for this reason. It's really hard to accept!

"Madam, this servant..."

"It seems that mother is in a bad mood today. She even scolded Nanny Wang who has always been loyal to you. I don't know what happened. Can your son share your worries?"

Just as Nanny Wang was about to explain, a cold voice reached her ears.

She turned her head and saw a tall figure walking in from the door. His dark robe made him look tall and straight, and he looked very imposing.

Nanny Wang was so frightened that she trembled and quickly knelt on the ground without raising her head.

It’s really Wei Jing, he’s back!

Not only is he back, but he is as high-spirited as ever!

Zhou's pupils constricted as she stared at Wei Jing, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Even if she didn't believe it, Wei Jing was standing in front of her. The bastard was indeed not dead. He was back and the group of killers failed to kill him.

But how can he come back?

If he were still alive, then his...

With a dry throat, Zhou sat down again, gripping the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, veins bulging on the back of her hands, and staring at him fiercely.

"Where have you been these days?"

"At the banquet, I met several colleagues and had a great time chatting with them. I went out with them for a few days without telling my mother. I am here today to apologize."

"But mother has always been disgusted with me. I guess she is happy not to see me?"

Wei Jing raised his eyebrows and asked in a cold voice, his words were filled with sarcasm and suspicion, without his usual respectfulness.

Zhou's face turned pale and she wanted to stand up and slap the bastard hard. Let's see if he dared to talk to her like this again. He was truly lawless.

"I am your mother, how dare you speak to me like this? Don't go too far."

"The son didn't even know what words had upset his mother?"

Wei Jing's dark eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a dangerous light.

He still suspected Zhou and was unwilling to let go of any clues. So today, he came here to test her! As expected, he came to the right place.

Zhou felt that something was wrong with Shen Qing and the look in her eyes towards him was even more hateful than before.

He has only been away for a few days, why is this happening?

Unless she was filled with joy, in the end it was all in vain.

What on earth could make her so sad?

Apart from the fact that he was not dead, which disappointed her, Wei Jing could not think of anything else.

His tone gradually became colder, he was questioning Zhou, trying to make her reveal her flaws!

Zhou was mad at not being able to kill him, and her hatred was aroused by just a few words.

"You are truly lawless. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know..."

"Second Master! The old lady has been missing the young master so much lately that she is naturally sad. Why do you have to force her like this?"

"Even if you two are not biological mother and son, the old lady has raised you for so many years, please don't forget it!"

Just when Zhou was about to go crazy with anxiety, Nanny Wang suddenly raised her voice and interrupted the conversation between the two.

She hung her head to the ground, but every word she spoke was sonorous and powerful.

Zhou suddenly came to his senses, broke out in a cold sweat, and realized that he had almost been exposed.

He quickly sat up straight and coughed lightly to hide the strange emotions in his eyes.

"Madame Wang is right. I am your stepmother after all. Even if I ask you a few questions, what's the harm? Watch your attitude when you talk to me!"

"Don't forget, if Zhi'er wasn't here, you wouldn't have been able to take on such a glorious position now! How dare you talk back to me like this? You really don't understand what it means to respect your elders!"

"My son wouldn't dare."

Seeing tall hats being put on one head after another, Wei Jing's face became gloomy, and he bowed and whispered.

"My second brother is here too. Wow, there are so many people. It's so lively!"

Just as the situation in the house was at a stalemate and the quarrel was getting intense, Jiang Mingwei lifted her skirt and stepped over the threshold.

Seeing Zhou's face turned pale, there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

Wei Jing, who was standing in the hall, had a serious look on his face, with a hint of doubt on his face.

Jiang Mingwei paused for a moment and suddenly wanted to run away. What was going on?

Didn't she come at a bad time?

How about... leaving now?

But it was obviously too late, Zhou looked at her coldly.

"You still remember to come back! You are a married woman, and a newly widowed woman, but you ran away without telling your mother-in-law. How could my son marry a woman like you who is so fickle and unruly?"

"Mother-in-law, calm down. Isn't your daughter-in-law here to admit her fault?"

Jiang Mingwei curled her lips, knowing that she was going to be scolded.

She stepped forward and bowed, but asked, "It's just that the Grand Princess's kindness is hard to refuse. Does my mother-in-law want me to go against her wishes?"
