At this moment, Wong Qiao lifted the gauze curtain and walked in. He heard that Zhou Biyao was called to the room by her mother and knew it must be about the workshop issue, so he hurried over.
Upon entering, he saw the expressions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, combined with the snippets he overheard earlier, Wong Qiao knew that his mother had probably already uncovered the truth.
Wong Qiao stepped forward, sat on the edge of the kang, and comforted Lady Zhao, saying, "Mother, don't worry. Although I am an official craftsman, I am merely employed by others and obey orders in the workshop; I am not involved in anything else. Now, the Ministry of Justice is not allowing me to leave at will, but it's just for convenience in summoning me for questioning during the investigation, not because I've truly been convicted."
