Chapter 49: A thief's heart never dies
Zhou Wensheng packed up his things and returned to the mansion in the capital, and as soon as he entered the door, he was grabbed by his wife.
"Madame, Madame, listen to me, I didn't do anything over there at all!" He was afraid that the arrogant and domineering lady would really pull his ears off, so he hurriedly begged for mercy.
"If you really didn't do anything, how could I get this letter?" Mrs. Zhou scolded and flipped out a letter, shook Zhou Wensheng's face without any scruples, and asked him to open it himself to see what was written inside.
After reading the things written on the letterhead at a glance and three lines, Zhou Wensheng hugged his wife's arm and shouted: "Madam, how can you believe the letter of unknown origin, and you don't want to believe me!" You also know that I have been promoted too quickly in recent years, and this year I was appointed by His Majesty to be a messenger, and many people hate me, why did you fall for others so easily! β
Looking at his expression, it seems that he is not speaking, could it be that the content of the letter is really slanderous?
Mrs. Zhou was skeptical, and asked again: "You really haven't messed with flowers and grass outside?" β
Zhou Wensheng saw that there was a play, he acted harder, took his wife's hand, and almost shed tears: "I really haven't done it, my wife is as beautiful as a flower, how can people outside compare to it, why should I give up my wife and take them?" β
Come to think of it, my identity background, appearance and demeanor, how can anyone compare with me outside, and my husband is not blind, how can I go back and pinch flowers and grass?
Mrs. Zhou nodded with satisfaction, and patted his head gently like a pet dog: "It's really hard for my husband to rush back to the capital this way, let's go back to the room to rest first, I will make an appointment with Mrs. Li to enjoy the flowers, and come back later." β
Zhou Wensheng, who had escaped, nodded again and again, and seeing his wife walking farther and farther, he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
There were a lot of attendants standing around, most of them heard that Zhou Wensheng was back, so they came to see the excitement, and now they are still standing in the corridor, seeing Zhou Wensheng angry, he scolded angrily: "Look at what, do you have nothing to do, one by one is very idle, stay here and look around, carefully I will let the housekeeper sell you!" β
He dared to follow people like this.
The maids looked at each other, stuck out their tongues at each other, and walked away from the scene quickly.
And Zhou Wensheng returned to his room, usually he slept separately from his wife, and no one would come in his room except for the maid who sprinkled and cleaned.
But this time, when Zhou Wensheng entered the door, he keenly felt that something was wrong, and always felt that his things seemed to have been touched by someone, but what was different and what was the location of the thing changed, he couldn't say it, so he simply didn't find it, and just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
rushed back to the capital today to deal with his wife, but he was really tired enough.
Zhou Wensheng slept directly from afternoon to night, and he slept comfortably, thinking that he had a sweet dream.
In the dream, An Xia Bai was dressed in white yarn, standing in his room, laughing or making trouble from time to time, always able to tug at his heartstrings, he chased him all over the room, and did something in the dream that he didn't dare to think about during the day, very happy.
This caused him to wake up the next day, even a little weak, and when his wife came to visit, he didn't dare to look up at all.
"I heard you've slept until now?" Mrs. Zhou's sharp voice was in stark contrast to Anxia's white and soft voice in the dream, Zhou Wensheng nodded awkwardly, and only said that he had not rested well because of overwork on business recently, and he was very relaxed when he returned home, so he slept so deeply.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhou's eyes lit up, not only did she scold, but also praised him for finally getting better.
He was not ashamed to accept his wife's praise and proposed the idea of going back to deal with official business, and his wife readily agreed.
Zhou Wensheng set off immediately after packing up, refusing to stay at home for a little more time, he got in the car and drove back to the town, and the first thing he did was not to go back to his office, but to go to Mojia Restaurant.
Everyone present was surprised to see him coming, and it happened that An Xiabai was also in the hall, she was afraid that Ruqing and Lu Li, the two more short-tempered people, would fight with Zhou Wensheng, so she forcibly endured her nausea and went to deal with him: "Why is Lord Zhou free to come over today?" β
Zhou Wensheng pretended not to see the dissatisfaction and resentment at all, and saluted with a smile: "The official thought of the tax matter, and his heart was uneasy, so he came over to apologize to Mrs. Lu, and asked Mrs. Lu to forgive the official for his dereliction of duty yesterday." β
Can a small sentence of dereliction of duty offset yesterday's sins, and if an apology is useful, what should the government do?
If it weren't for Shen Ya and Mo Qiyan suddenly appearing yesterday to relieve themselves, it is estimated that he would still be in prison now, he almost ruined himself and almost ruined the restaurant!
Thinking of this, An Xiabai's already unpleasant face became worse: "Lord Zhou, a small dereliction of duty of yours almost ruined my life." β
"Mrs. Lu, it's not right for you to say that," Zhou Wensheng raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile on his face, "People are looking forward, and if they grasp a little mistake of others, they won't let go, not only for themselves, but also for others, right?" β
An Xiabai sneered and said, "Lord Zhou's words are really interesting. β
"The official is telling the truth, the people don't fight with the official, Mrs. Lu, you are a businessman, you should understand this truth better than me." Zhou Wensheng said, and couldn't help but walk in the direction of An Xiabai.
Seeing An Xia Bai Li getting closer and closer to him, he couldn't help but recall the dream he had last night, in which An Xia Bai was wearing a translucent gauze skirt, like a little goblin, far more feminine than the one in front of him.
Just when An Xiabai frowned and was about to scold Zhou Wensheng desperately, Lu Li jumped out of nowhere, and happened to rush to Zhou Wensheng's side.
But the latter was taken aback, and he hurriedly jumped a few steps away, and said angrily: "You don't have long eyes? β
Lu Li was not afraid of his angry reprimand, and even smiled, stood beside An Xiabai, and in front of everyone, took An Xiabai's hand and pulled her into his arms.
"I don't think the person with long eyes is you, right?" Lu Li said coldly.
Seeing this, everyone immediately understood that Mrs. Lu and Lu Li in the restaurant were a couple, and they all raised their middle fingers at Zhou Wensheng, and those who had good deeds even cheered for him, but Zhou Wensheng was angry, and his face turned white: "Why do you slander other people's innocence?" β
"In front of the public, you deliberately approached my wife to plot against him, this was seen by everyone present, do you think you can still deny it, Lord Zhou?" Lu Li raised his voice and reprimanded angrily, "It's because there are too many officials like you, there will be such unjust, false and wrongful cases in the world, and how many families have been harmed by your dog officials!" β
"You don't spray people with blood!" Zhou Zhouwensheng still wanted to die and struggle, but what he never expected was that the more he refuted, the more energetic Lu Li said.
"All the fathers and fellow villagers take a look, what kind of virtue does Lord Zhou have, don't say anything about the bad intentions of ordinary women, things can't be done, and want to wear the loopholes of the national law to make our restaurant unable to open, everyone should remember yesterday's incident, the restaurant that should have opened was temporarily closed, just because this adult secretly broke it, insisted on saying the trumped-up charges, and put it on the top of my wife's headββ"
Lu Li still wanted to continue, but Zhou Wensheng was anxious, and hurriedly covered his mouth: "If you continue to speak, be careful of this official-"
"If you haven't done any of these things at all, why should you be afraid of what people say?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from not far behind him, and Zhou Wensheng seemed to be frozen in place and couldn't move.
Taking advantage of this trance, Tang Luoying hurriedly pulled Lu Li away.
Everyone stared in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a large number of carriages slowly moving towards this direction, and the voice just now belonged to the people in the carriage.
The carriage is from his own house, and he doesn't have to think about it to know who the one in the car is, Zhou Wensheng was dripping with cold sweat, and looked at the carriage while touching the sweat, only to feel that his body was itching terribly.
And it's still tickling more and more.
It was like thousands of caterpillars crawling over his body, he felt extremely painful, and subconsciously raised his hand to tickle, and accidentally touched the belt, and the belt was directly loosened.
Zhou Wensheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to lift his pants, his movements were so coincidental that he was being seen by Mrs. Zhou, who got out of the car.
Mrs. Zhou's face was innocent, and she held back her anger and hatred for a long time, and finally scolded shamelessly!
Everyone hurriedly followed her gaze and stared away, just in time to see Zhou Wensheng lifting his pants and looking like dirt, some people were amused by his ugly appearance, some people were full of disgust, and more people were talking about something one after another, looking at their interested, An Xiabai knew that Zhou Wensheng's ugly matter should soon spread to every corner of the town, and it may even spread to the capital!
In short, she can make Zhou Wensheng embarrassed, and she is very happy in her heart!
"Ma'am, why are you here?" Zhou Wensheng lifted his pants, subconsciously took a few steps back, and shrunk his neck.
Compared with his weakness and incompetence, Mrs. Zhou was obviously more heroic: "I have long suspected the purpose of your return, so I followed you to take a look, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing!" β
It's just a matter of messing with flowers and grass, but it's still a married woman who is provoked!
Mrs. Zhou glanced at An Xiabai hatefully, and scolded her husband from head to toe with a gloomy expression, and Zhou Wensheng, who was scolded, didn't dare to raise his head, and he didn't dare to take a breath: "Madam, this is the contradiction between the two of us in the public, let's talk about it after we get home, don't argue here, save others from seeing our jokes." β
"You still know the word joke, so why didn't you think about your family when you were ashamed in public?" Mrs. Zhou twisted his ears and roared angrily, "You are doing nonsense outside, and the disgraced person is not only you, but also me, you don't understand!" β
