As a woman who had never even left her own home, she didn't think too much and only saw the immediate benefits. Now that the Zhou family was in trouble, she naturally didn't want to get involved with Zhou Cheng.
"Husband, what are you still hesitating for? Just let him go..."
"Cough cough—"
Before Madam Su could finish speaking...
Young Master Su slowly woke up. His face was flushed red from the fever, he was dizzy and lightheaded, and his whole body was covered with a dense rash.
"Mother." Although young Master Su was young, he could see further than his mother.
In his drowsy state, he vaguely heard the conversation between the gatekeeper and his father, and guessed that his parents would probably choose to protect themselves: "Father...you can't..."
"Son! Son, you're awake! Waaah, you scared your mother to death!"
"What did my son just say? What do you mean it's not allowed?"
Young Master Su coughed until his insides ached. He looked at Lord Su standing not far away and said, word by word, "Father, let, let Brother Zhou in. Don't kick him out."
Upon hearing this, both Lord Su and Madam Su were stunned.
Both of them knew how high their son's IQ was. Despite his young age, every major decision he made regarding the Su family in the past had ultimately turned out to be correct.
But this time...
This time it's different!
The Zhou family is truly facing a great calamity. Anyone who tries to intervene now will ultimately suffer the consequences.
"Son, don't worry about this. Just rest and recover. Your father will handle it. The Zhou family's affairs are too complicated; we won't get involved..."
"No!" Young Master Su shook his head firmly and said, "It's not a matter of getting involved, Father. The Su family cannot be ungrateful. Mingzhe cannot protect himself."
"What people do is seen by Heaven; everything has a cause and effect."
"Brother Zhou's visit to the Su family this time is probably not to seek help. If he were a little more ruthless, he could have made a big show of it by entering through the main gate, leaving the Su family in a dilemma, having to consider the relationship between the two families."
“But Brother Zhou didn’t go through the front door. He chose the back door, which means that he has always been on the side of the Su family and doesn’t want to drag them down.”
"He must have something important to discuss with us."
"If you want to see him, Father, go see him."
After saying this, Young Master Su collapsed back onto the bed, panting heavily as if he couldn't breathe properly.
These words struck a chord with Lord Su.
He paced back and forth with a heavy heart, sighed, and said with a hint of shame and self-mockery, "My child, you're right. I'm really getting worse as I get older. The higher my official position is, the more constrained I become in doing things."
"Now that something has happened, I'm afraid the Su family will be implicated."
"They've even abandoned their old friends!"
"General Zhou has fought valiantly on the border for many years, remaining utterly loyal. All of Zhou's ancestors died at the hands of the Xiongnu. How could such a person betray his country? It's simply that someone wants to get rid of him."
"At this time, if I don't even want to see Zhou Cheng, how disheartening would that be!"
Now everyone in the capital is avoiding the Zhou family like the plague.
But the Su family can't.
The Su family had previously received favors from General Zhou, how could they do such a despicable thing?
If it weren't for his son's words that awakened Lord Su, he might have actually done something against his conscience.
After feeling guilty, Lord Su immediately stood up and looked at the gatekeeper with a solemn expression: "Where is Young Master Zhou now? Quickly invite him into the manor!"
