Zhou Le, however, took advantage of the situation to act coy and whispered in a voice that everyone could hear, "I just want to learn more practical knowledge. Even if I can't marry into a wealthy family, there will always be some plays that require these rules. So, aunt, I want to learn."

Zhou Le's attitude was very sincere, which made Duan Si feel very accomplished. She looked at Zhou Shuo proudly.

Zhou Shuo looked at her and smiled sweetly, "Since you already have a student, I won't join in the fun. I have no rules. You are already the eldest young lady. It is better for you to focus on training the candidate for the second young lady."

After Zhou Shuo finished speaking, he turned around and pushed Mu Ci into the elevator.

Zhou Le's thoughts and intentions were unintentionally revealed by Zhou Shuo, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart and turned to look at Duan Si.

Duan Si gritted his teeth, "You little bitch! Just wait and see how I deal with you!"

Seeing this, Shen Yu hurried forward and advised: "Madam, don't be angry, it's all my fault. I didn't have time to discipline her. I'm sorry to trouble you. This girl grew up like a weed. I'm afraid she can't be disciplined overnight. You must not get angry first. "

Duan Si took a deep breath, thought about what Mu En had told her, and finally suppressed the anger in her heart.

Zhou Le handed over the tea obediently, "Aunt, I think it's because of the support of the young master that she dares to be so presumptuous. Don't be anxious, let's take it slowly.

As she spoke, she stood behind Duan Si and rubbed her shoulders.

Duan Si was so attentive to the mother and daughter's persuasion that his anger subsided. Zhou Le kneaded her and made her feel comfortable. He couldn't help but say, "If she had always grown up by your side, she would probably be as well-behaved as Zhou Le."

There was a hint of regret in his tone.

Shen Yu and Zhou Le were both happy in their hearts.

Zhou Le felt that the lady acknowledged and liked her well-behaved nature, while Shen Yu felt that Madam Mu finally understood that it was not because the Zhou family had no family education, but because Zhou Shuo was not raised by her.

Duan Si put down the teacup, signaled Zhou Le to stop rubbing and sit down to listen to her.

"Do you know where the thing Mu En asked you to get is now?" Duan Si glanced upstairs and said in a low voice.

Zhou Le shook his head and whispered, "The servant Xiao Ling doesn't allow outsiders to go up to the floor where my sister and brother-in-law live."

Duan Si said coldly, "Humph! This family is becoming more and more unruly. A servant dares to call the shots!"

Both mother and daughter looked embarrassed and timid.

Duan Si thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, when they are not at home, I will go and lead them away. Zhou Le, you should be smart!"

Zhou Le nodded quickly, "Okay!"

...

Seeing Mu Ci's unhappy expression, Zhou Shuo squatted down beside Mu Ci's wheelchair, looked up and smiled, "Why don't we try to guess what they're up to this time?"

Mu Ci held Zhou Shuo's hand in his palm. "Zhou Shuo, you did very well just now. From now on, no matter how my mother bullies you, just resist and protect yourself. Between you and her, I will always stand by you."

Zhou Shuo understood what he meant and said with a smile, "People say that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult to get along with. The problem lies in the attitude of the man caught in the middle. Now that my brother has chosen to stand on my side, why should I be worried about whether it will be difficult to get along with him?"

Mu Ci smiled and reached out to rub Zhou Shuo's head.

Zhou Shuo's cleverness and confusion are just right.

"Brother, what do you think my mother and Zhou Le's purpose is?" Zhou Shuo brought the subject back.

"There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. I thought I had given the Zhou family enough warnings, but I didn't expect that they still turned a deaf ear to it and now they have even broken into their house. It seems that I was too subtle and didn't let the Zhou family learn a lesson." There was a hint of anger in Mu Ci's voice.

Zhou Shuo simply sat cross-legged on the ground.

Mu Ci frowned, pulled her up, stood up from the wheelchair, and pulled Zhou Shuo to sit on the sofa. He held Zhou Shuo in his arms and leaned his head on her, feeling very comfortable and relaxed.

"What did my brother do to the Zhou family?" Zhou Shuo was curious.

She really had no feelings for her biological parents and her half-brother, let alone family affection.

"I've made it difficult for the Zhou family's business. Every time they mess with you, I'll make it even harder for them." Mu Ci didn't hide it.

Zhou Shuo suddenly realized, "So, they wanted to come to our house and form a united front with the Mu family to put pressure on you so that you would stop making things difficult for them?"

Isn't this train of thought a bit too strange?

Mu Ci frowned, "I'm afraid not. They didn't ask me for anything, which means they have other motives."

"Another purpose?" Zhou Shuo murmured.

Mu Ci thought about it and decided not to hide it from Zhou Shuo, "Zhou Le broke up with her boyfriend, Gu Ming, because Gu Ming knew that Zhou Le had another man."

"Another man?" Zhou Shuo was surprised.

"Didn't she and Gu Ming grow up together as childhood sweethearts? The Gu and Zhou families arranged a marriage for them since childhood. When I went back, Zhou Le was very worried that I would snatch her marriage away because--" Zhou Shuo was the one who was arranged to marry.

"She actively encouraged my parents to marry me into the Mu family because she was afraid I would get in the way of her and Gu Ming's relationship. I heard from the servants that she would be engaged to Gu Ming when she turned twenty this year. The Gu family values her very much, and Gu Ming is very obedient to her. How could she have another man?"

Mu Ci tangled his fingers in Zhou Shuo's hair and slowly told him about his previous encounter with Gu Ming in the club.

"That clubhouse is part of the Mu family's business. Mu En has several fixed rooms there. Gu Ming stayed downstairs all night, and Zhou Le did spend the night there. However, Gu Ming didn't see who Zhou Le was with. He only heard rumors that it was Mu En's harem—"

Zhou Shuo was shocked and sat up straight. "You mean, Zhou Le and Mu En?"

Mu Ci looked at her and hesitated for a moment. "There is no definite evidence, but Zhou Le must have had another man."

Zhou Shuo found it unbelievable and muttered, "What the hell is going on? It's such a mess."

Mu Ci reached out and pinched Zhou Shuo's round earlobe, "So, many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface."

Zhou Shuo nodded subconsciously. "Just like Dr. Li, he is such a beloved student, but he tampered with your condition. I just have a feeling, I have no evidence."

Mu Ci reached out and hooked her hand around her head, pulling her closer to him. While she was distracted, he kissed her on the cheek.

Zhou Shuo didn't hide, but reached out to hug him and buried his head in his shoulders. "Brother, the people outside are too complicated, I don't like them!"
