Thump thump thump........
A sudden, inexplicable panic and lingering fear washed over him. Lord Wang tucked his drooping fingers in, and finally withdrew his step, saying in a deep voice, "You're right."
"Zhou Cheng doesn't come to see me earlier or later, but he comes at this exact time. I'm afraid he has nothing else to ask me for help with the Zhou family."
"At this time, the Zhou family is a hot potato; anyone who touches it will get into trouble."
"I can't go, yes, I can't go..."
Lord Wang pursed his lips tightly, hardened his heart, and thought about it again. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhou Cheng had ill intentions.
If Zhou Cheng truly cared about the relationship between the Zhou family and the Wang family, why would he come to the Wang family at this crucial moment? And why would he personally come to their door?
He knew perfectly well that meeting now would implicate the Wang family!
Even though they knew that General Zhou's matter was a big deal and that the Wang family would suffer greatly if they got involved, Zhou Cheng still came, he still came!
Lord Wang's eyes darkened slightly, and a hint of resentment towards Zhou Cheng rose in his heart.
Bowing one's head
He ordered the guard, "Go and tell Zhou Cheng to go back! Let's wait for General Zhou to return before discussing any important matters. He's just an ignorant and incompetent youth; he shouldn't meddle in these important affairs. It's more important for him to mind his own business."
"Tell him not to come to the Wang family anymore, and don't blame your uncle for being heartless."
The guard glanced at Lord Wang's gloomy and dissatisfied face, and immediately left the study.
He had intended to say something like, "Look at Zhou Cheng's calm and composed demeanor..."
They don't seem to have come to the Prince's mansion seeking help; rather, they seem to have come to deliver something important...
But seeing the master's unpleasant expression and the mistress's face full of resentment and disgust, it seemed as if she couldn't wait to sever ties with Zhou Cheng.
In this situation, it's best for a mere guard like myself to refrain from saying anything.
The guard left.
They took the measles medication with them when they left.
At this moment, Lord Wang and his wife probably did not know that what they were refusing was not a meeting with Zhou Cheng, nor their past friendship with the Zhou family, but the life-saving medicine for their precious son.
“Young Master Zhou, my master said that you should go back.”
"Also, don't come to the Wang family again... You're just an ignorant and incompetent young man, you should mind your own business." The guard relayed these words to Zhou Cheng verbatim.
That moment!
The air seemed to freeze for half a second.
Zhou Cheng's calm expression immediately turned cold.
He looked up at the Prince's Mansion. The gate to the side courtyard wasn't high, but for some reason, he felt that the gate, which was only two meters high, was so tall that he couldn't possibly step inside.
How ridiculous!
Even though his father was far away at the border, he still remembered the kindness the Wang family had shown to the Zhou family.
He was afraid that the Zhou family's rebellion would implicate these well-connected aristocratic families.
So he wrote to Zhou Cheng, urging him to help the Wang family before leaving the capital.
Zhou Cheng listened.
He's here.
Carrying life-saving medicine redeemed with points, they deliberately avoided using back channels, choosing instead a secluded, unknown route, all to deliver the medicine to Lord Wang...
But the gates of the Prince's Mansion were tightly shut, and it was too high to climb. He was going to sever ties with the Zhou family, hahaha!
