Chapter 205 Two Women Serving One Husband
"marriage?"
Zhou Yue scratched the bridge of his nose, pretending to be clueless. "What marriage?"
"Of course it's the marriage between your grandson Zhou Qi and Zhao Sheng'er." Zhao Hu also put on a fake smile. "Minister Zhou, are you cruelly trying to break up this couple?"
Zhou Yue's expression changed slightly, but he still refused to admit defeat. He argued even though he was wrong. "How can you say that? As the saying goes, it's better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage."
Zhao Hu curled his lips, and his expression became better. "Then——"
"But Zhou Qi really has no interest in Miss Zhao." Zhou Yue spread his hands, a look of helplessness on his face. "My family's situation is well known to everyone in the court. My son and daughter-in-law are gone, and the one I love the most is this grandson. If he truly loves someone, how could I not agree?"
"He has no interest in Zhao Sheng'er?" Zhao Hu couldn't help but sneer and asked loudly, "Then what's his intention in breaking into my Zhao family's backyard at night?"
"It's just a joke between young people." Zhou Yue waved his hand and patiently advised, "Zhou Qi is a scoundrel. He's still undetermined. How can he be ready to get married?"
"you!"
Su Cheng stopped Zhao Hu, who was about to explode in anger, and asked with a frown, "Minister Zhou, from what you said, do you want to play the game of eating and vomiting?"
"What do you mean by vomiting? I don't understand." Zhou Yue looked her up and down, a flash of surprise in his eyes. "Miss Zhao, your appearance and temperament are simply one in a million. If you stay calm and law-abiding, you will have no trouble finding a good home. Why do you have to cling to my Zhou Qi?"
"I've lived for so long, but this is the first time I've seen a girl come to my house in person to force a marriage."
It was obvious that he mistook Su Cheng for Zhao Sheng'er.
"Old Minister, please open your eyes and watch carefully!" Zhao Hu couldn't sit still after hearing his words. "This is my daughter, Zhao Hu, not Zhao Sheng'er. If it were my daughter, she would definitely not be tricked into bed by Zhou Qi with just a few words!"
"What do you mean, Minister Zhao?" Zhou Yue snorted coldly, his attitude becoming even more arrogant. "Zhou Qi is a bit of a playboy, but he wouldn't go so far as to deceive an innocent girl. This scandal has happened, and I haven't even said that it was your daughter from the Zhao family who paid for her, but you're the first to complain?"
"...The Zhao family's daughter is throwing herself at him?" Zhao Hu was no match for the old man in front of him, his face flushed with anger. He said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhou, you better make your point clear to me today!"
"Father." Su Cheng held his arm, looked up at him, and blinked her innocent eyes. "Since Minister Zhou is unwilling to acknowledge her, let's not force him."
"Listen." Zhou Yue grinned, his eyes glittering with shrewdness. "You are not as sensible as your daughter."
"Let's go find Lord Zhang." Su Cheng pursed her lips and smiled, looking back at Zhou Yue. "There's always a place in this world where our Zhao family can reason with us. If the old minister doesn't recognize us, then so be it. I just hope that when the matter reaches the court, he can handle it with such ease in front of all the officials."
"You—" Zhou Yue nearly fell off his chair, his face gloomy, "Miss Zhao, don't try to scare me. How can you cause trouble in the imperial court whenever you want?"
"If the old minister has no guilt in his heart, why would he allow us father and daughter to enter the mansion?" Su Cheng raised an eyebrow at him, smiling charmingly, "Isn't the old minister ill? But I see that your face is rosy, and you speak with full energy. You don't look like someone who is bedridden."
Zhou Yue's eyes were gloomy, and the wrinkles on his face drooped, showing his displeasure.
He really didn't expect that the most difficult person to deal with was not Zhao Hu, but the girl in front of him.
"Miss Zhao, I always keep my word. If they really are interested in each other, how could I refuse?" Zhou Yue shrugged, his cloudy eyes fixed on Su Cheng. "As I said earlier, Zhou Qi has an unpredictable personality. One day he likes Miss Zhao, and the next he likes a prostitute from a brothel. He's so undecided, how can I ask for your approval?"
Zhou Yue compared the Zhao family's daughter to a prostitute in a brothel, clearly looking down on the Zhao family.
Zhou Qi didn't dare to show up, so Zhou Yue put all the blame on him. Even if the Zhao family wanted to debate, they couldn't say anything.
"Is this the Zhou family's rule?" Su Cheng smiled, but his eyes were as sharp as knives. "Today, it's our Zhao family that should be taking the high ground. Zhou Qi is the Zhou family's legitimate grandson. If this gets out of hand, who will be affected the most? The old minister must be aware of this, right?"
The smile on Zhou Yue's lips paused, his gaze fell on Su Cheng, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.
"We came here just to discuss a foolproof plan." Su Cheng sat in a dignified manner, and his words were impeccable. "If your Zhou family still wants to save face, you should go to the Zhao family to propose marriage and agree to this marriage. If you don't even care about your dignity, you can make a big fuss and let everyone know. Then it will be extremely difficult for Zhou Qi to arrange marriage in the future."
Zhou Yue couldn't help laughing and looked down at her. "Miss, as far as I know, Zhao Sheng'er is not a direct descendant of the Zhao family. Her father used to make a living by farming. Since you mentioned the word "legitimate daughter", then I want to ask, what right does Zhao Sheng'er have to marry a man from the Zhou family?"
"I've made it clear just now. Our Zhao family won't force anything." Su Cheng raised his eyes, a smile not visible in his eyes, and stood up. "Father, let's go. Let's go and speak for justice in front of Lord Zhang."
Zhao Hu stood up very obediently and pretended to leave.
"etc."
Before Su Cheng even lifted a foot, Zhou Yue, who was standing behind him, couldn't sit still anymore. He spoke in a deep voice, "If I want Zhou Qi to marry Zhao Sheng'er and preserve the Zhao family's reputation, it's simple. I only have one request. If you agree, then this matter can proceed smoothly."
Hearing this, Su Cheng became interested and looked back at him, "What's your request? Tell me about it."
Zhou Yue raised his finger and pointed at her, his eyes gleaming with brilliance, "I want you to marry Zhou Qi as my legal wife."
Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, then a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stared coldly at the old man sitting in the seat.
"Zhao Sheng'er comes from a humble background. It's simply a pipe dream for her to want to become the mistress of the Zhou family." Zhou Yue raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "But if you, the legitimate daughter, are willing to marry me, then I will agree to let Qi'er take her as a concubine. It would be a beautiful thing for you two sisters to share the same husband."
"If you agree, I will send someone over to propose marriage immediately."
"Bullshit!" Zhao Hu couldn't hold it in any longer, wishing he could stab this shameless old man to death with a sword. "Zhou Qi is such a playboy, he wants to sleep on every bed in Wanhuafang. Why don't you take a piss and look at your father and son? Your grandson must be a rotten cucumber that has turned into a spirit. How dare you open your mouth!"
Su Cheng's eyes were deep as he looked at Zhou Yue, who was sitting at the head of the table with a smile on his face. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, "You old fool, aren't you afraid that I will destroy your grandson?"
