MTL - Ci Jinzhi-Chapter 76 who
Chapter 76 Who
Zhou Ningyue was going to the east room, but as soon as she entered the main room, she heard screams.
It was a male voice coming from Westinghouse.
Zhou Ningyue rushed directly to the Westinghouse and pushed the door open forcefully.
In the house, Zhou's mother held a dagger in one hand and looked at her daughter blankly.
The dagger was dripping with blood, Father Zhou fell to the ground struggling, still breathing.
Because of this, he looked even more terrifying, staring at Zhou Ningyue who suddenly appeared with a distorted face, and stretched out his hand to her.
Zhou Ningyue didn't even scream, she rolled her eyes and fell limply.
Xin You followed Zhou Ningyue and supported her in time.
With a clanging sound, the dagger in Mother Zhou's hand fell to the ground.
"Yue'er!" Mother Zhou rushed to her daughter, reaching out her hand to help her, but the blood on her hand made her stop suddenly.
That is the blood of the husband.
Perhaps it was because she was calmer than ordinary women by nature, or perhaps she had inspired the strength of being a mother in front of her daughter. Zhou's mother was not particularly flustered by Xin You's expectation, and she looked straight at her.
"Miss Kou, why are you here?"
"Auntie, the courtyard gate is not locked."
Zhou's mother froze for a moment, rubbed her hands on her clothes vigorously, and walked out quickly.
Xin You supported the fainted Zhou Ningyue, and looked down at Zhou Tong who was lying on the ground.
Zhou Tong was already motionless, his eyes were wide open full of unwillingness, obviously he did not expect that he would die at the hands of a weak woman.
This is the opposite result from the picture. Xin You was surprised by the ending, but not so much.
Perhaps when she specifically reminded Mother Zhou, she was subconsciously prepared for different results.
It is true that men are stronger than women in physical strength, but one is defenseless and the other is wary. The diametrically opposite ending may only happen in an instant.
Xin You looked around the Westinghouse which was decorated as a study. There are many books on the shelf against the wall, and some books, paper, pens and ink are piled up on the desk. It looks like a very ordinary study room.
There must be a reason why the dispute between Zhou's mother and Zhou's father happened here, not in the east room where they lived.
Because of what?
Without time to think about it, Mother Zhou came back.
"What is Miss Kou looking at?"
Xin You heard the coldness in Mother Zhou's voice, which was not surprising.
Her appearance was indeed too coincidental in the eyes of the other party, so coincidental that it aroused suspicion.
"Auntie, do you want to help Sister Zhou to the Kang in the east room first, so that she won't wake up and be frightened?"
Zhou's mother immediately put all kinds of emotions behind her, and together with Xin You, helped Zhou Ningyue to the east room to lie down. Standing in the main room separated from the west room, her face became solemn and pale.
"Miss Kou, why are you with Yue'er?"
Xin You calmly replied: "I left my aunt's house that day, and I heard from sister Ji that there was a pastry shop nearby that tastes good and sells meaty mooncakes. I thought that tomorrow would be the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I came here early to buy some to honor the elders. I didn't expect Met sister Zhou."
Speaking of this, Xin You glanced at the door of the Westinghouse, and said calmly: "As for coming to my aunt's house, I saw sister Zhou's face and found that her parents were in danger, so I was worried, so I came with her."
After hearing this, Zhou's mother neither believed nor disbelieved, and asked in silence for a while, "Miss Kou also saw the scene in Westinghouse, what are your plans?"
"What's Auntie's plan?" Xin You asked back.
Mother Zhou looked cold and said truthfully: "I don't want to be accused of killing my husband. I don't care if I live or die, but Yue'er can't have a mother who kills her husband, otherwise her life will be ruined. I beg Miss Kou to hold her hand high. Let’s just pretend we didn’t come today.”
Mother Zhou knelt heavily as she spoke.
Xin You stood quietly, looking down at the woman kneeling in front of her for a while.
"I wonder why it's different."
Zhou's mother didn't react for a while, and her face showed doubts.
Xin You said word by word: "Looking at Auntie's face earlier, you should have been the one who had the accident."
Zhou's mother trembled all over, her expression kept changing, she was silent for a while before she said: "Miss Kou read that right, I should have been the one who had the accident. I asked him to reason about something, and suddenly remembered what Miss Kou said, and by accident, I brought the dagger with me. On my body, he strangled me during the dispute, and when I struggled desperately, I somehow—”
"Mother—" Suddenly a voice came, Zhou Ningyue supported the door frame, her face was as pale as snow, "What's the matter? What is it that made Dad kill you, and made you kill Dad after resisting?"
She let go of the hand that was holding on to the door frame tightly, and walked over step by step, looking like she was about to fall down at any moment.
"Mother, tell me, what the **** is going on!" Zhou Ningyue threw herself on Mother Zhou, shaking her arm vigorously.
Mother Zhou raised her hand to touch Zhou Ningyue's hair, touched the blood on her hand, and retracted her hand like a needle prick.
"Yue'er, don't ask anymore, this is an adult's business—"
"Mom, you still say it's an adult's business after all this?" Zhou Ningyue raised her voice, tears streaming down her eyes, "Father is dead, I don't have a father anymore!"
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Mother Zhou's heart hard.
Mother Zhou's face looked even paler, her hands trembling uncontrollably: "I should have died..."
"Mom, I don't blame you, I just want to know why!" Zhou Ningyue cried while hugging Zhou's mother.
For this little girl with a simple experience, the mother who gets along day and night with love and love is much closer than the father who leaves early and returns late or even doesn’t see him often.
are all important, but one of them is always more important when some have to choose.
"Yue'er, you just need to know that your father did something wrong. It's not that mother doesn't want to tell you, but she can't tell you. Of course, you should blame mother. Mother only hopes that you can be well..." Mother Zhou choked up, But never shed tears.
Zhou Ningyue shook her head with a dazed expression: "I don't understand..."
Mother Zhou looked at Xin You: "Miss Kou, can you keep a secret for our mother and daughter?"
"Auntie thinks it's okay to hide the news of your husband's death?"
Zhou's mother subconsciously glanced at her daughter, and said softly: "We can't hide the news of death, it's enough to hide the cause of death. Our family just came from other places, and we don't have much contact with the neighbors in the neighborhood, and his colleagues have only known each other for a while. —”
Mother Zhou paused for a moment, but did not continue.
Zhou Ningyue has already reacted, covered her mouth and cried: "What should I do if my aunt knows?"
Ji Cailan's mother is Zhou Tong's older sister.
"Wait...after packing up, report the funeral and say that she died of a sudden illness..." Zhou's mother struggled to explain the arrangement to her daughter, and looked at Xin You with begging eyes.
Xin You looked at the woman whose clothes were splashed with her husband's blood, and doubts arose in her heart.
Can an ordinary woman be so calm after accidentally killing her husband?
Or is Zhou Mu's background not simple?
Wait, Zhou's mother can recognize that her mother is the current queen who has been missing for more than ten years, so it is impossible for her to be an ordinary woman.
Who is Zhou's mother then?
Xin You looked at Mother Zhou with inquiry in her eyes.
