Zhou Ziming felt as if he had been stripped naked. Why were they looking at him like that? He did nothing wrong. He only came here because he wanted to get what he had lost!
What he did not know was that the crowd had already made their own little judgement from the words that Xiao Chuxia said just now. From the way she was acting and treating Zhou Ziming, they all couldn’t help but think that Zhou Ziming must have done something sinister.
Like drugging the woman and making a rift between her and her husband.
Compared to Zhou Ziming, whom they only saw twice, they had seen how devoted Xiao Chuxia was towards Yu Fei. For the past few weeks, even if she was relying on watery porridge, she had bought meat and chicken for Yu Fei.
Anyone could see that Xiao Chuxia truly cared for Yu Fei, and her attention and care for him were not fake. What does it mean? It means that there was no way that a woman such as that would ever fake her care for her husband.
No matter what the fault must be with Zhou Ziming!
“I didn’t expect that an honest-looking mer like him actually had such capabilities,” someone in the crowd remarked.
“It’s always the honest-looking one,” someone shook her head in the crowd and sighed.
“He is truly shameless; even though the woman has refused, he still came to look for her.”
“It’s truly shameful.”
There was nothing wrong with a mer wanting to marry a woman, but they should at least be a bit more reserved. How can a mer do such a thing as throw himself in the arms of a woman?
“Shut up!” Zhou Ziming couldn’t bear the taunts that were being thrown at him.
He just came to see Yu Fei; why did they say so many crude things to him?
He only came to get Little Yi back.
Did these people think he wanted to put his hot face against Xiao Chuxia’s cold bottom? Even if he wanted to. He did not have the mind to do so!
After losing Little Yi, he realised that his life had taken a turn for the worse. Not only was he restrained in every single way, he was actually being forced to marry an old woman and that too as a bed servant!
His daddy made it sound like he was helping him but Zhou Ziming knew that his daddy was only handing him flowery words and nothing else.
It was so embarrassing!
He had to get Little Yi back no matter what!
Only by recovering Little Yi would he be able to live his life properly. Everyone in the family would become obedient to him, and he didn’t have to worry about anyone.
Zhou Ziming was an ambitious mer, and there was no way he was going to throw his weapons down so easily.
His eyes turned red as he glared at the people in the crowd and said to them, “Don’t speak about things you don’t have any idea about. I have done nothing wrong; I am telling you if you dare to say another word about me then —”
“Then?” A cold voice interrupted him.
Zhou Ziming raised his head and looked at Yu Dong, who was standing at the far end of the crowd. She walked over to where Zhou Ziming was standing, and the crowd parted on its own.
She came to a stop in front of Zhou Ziming before questioning, “Then what?”
Yu Dong had been waiting for a way to deal with Zhou Ziming for a long time. She was still thinking that she wouldn’t be able to deal with this mer but who would have thought that he actually came to deliver himself to her door?
She would be a fool to not take advantage of this situation!
She looked down at Zhou Ziming and asked again, “Tell me, what do you mean by saying those words, hm? We haven’t even evened out the things that you have done, and you have the audacity to come here and cause trouble? Were the days in the Yamen not good enough for you to learn your lesson?”
“You were just released a few days ago, and you dared to cause trouble so soon. What’s wrong? Do you think that your mother’s connections are so good that you can pester our family? Do you think that if I were to call the officers, your mother would still be able to insist that you are innocent?”
“You…you are threatening me?” Zhou Ziming was stunned; he had never been threatened before.
“Heh,” Yu Dong leaned down and whispered, “Not only do I dare to threaten you; if you continue to bother my uncle, then I have no qualms in dealing with your mother. I am being kind by not reaching my hands to the position that your mother is clinging to.”
“Don’t forget that even if you are the son of the village head, your mother is still a simple village head. There are more powerful and stronger people than your mother. You have a good background, so what? I feel better. Do you want to see who will come victorious if the two of us were to clash?”
Zhou Ziming turned pale with fright, he looked at Yu Dong and shouted, “You–You are using your power for the wrong means! I will sue you for abusing your power and bullying us commoners.”
Yu Dong sneered when she heard his words, “You can go ahead and do that, but if you sue me, then I will sue you right back. See how many families remain loyal to you once your mother is dragged into court.”
Her words were clear and precise.
It made Zhou Ziming terrified; no, he could not let this woman drag his mother to the court.
Zhou Ziming stared at Yu Dong and Wu Junfen before turning on his feet and running away in panic.
He would think of another way to get little Yi back!
