Chapter 345: Heart

"So this is the peerless genius you two were talking about. He is truly extraordinary."

Li Zong: Aba Aba.

Li Shanglian and his wife felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed. They could no longer hear the sarcasm of their neighbors.

All their confidence came from their expectations of Li Zong. Now that a fool has returned, Li Shanglian and his wife don't even want to acknowledge this person as their son.

But the facts were before their eyes and they had no choice but to admit it.

Several people were punished and returned home in disgrace.

Li Shanglian looked at his foolish son and discussed with his wife: "When our Zong'er left, he was fine, but he turned into a fool after returning from his Zhang family."

"This must be the Zhang family's problem. Maybe Zong'er has done something meritorious and that's why he has become stupid."

"They are responsible anyway, and we have to go after them to demand compensation."

They did what they said and went to the house to make trouble.

Leading the stupid Li Zong to block the door and make trouble.

But at this time, the Zhang family had no idea who had destroyed the Tibetans' lair, so it was time to be cautious.

Li Shanglian went to their house to seek justice, but how could they dare to admit it?

People were blocking the door, and the Zhang family did not dare to use a domineering attitude to drive them away. Soon a group of people gathered to watch the excitement.

The door opened, and the butler who came out had a kind face and smiled politely at Li Shanglian who was causing trouble.

"Mr. Li, this child is one that we in the Zhang family have never seen before."

"As for what you said, your son became stupid because he worked in our Zhang family, it is totally false."

"We in the Zhang family are good-natured, but you can't just go and dirty the water."

He also took out two silver coins and handed them to Li Shanglian, acting like a good guy.

"The child is pitiful. Take this little money home and use it to treat his illness. Please turn back to the right path as soon as possible and stop being a rogue."

This kind look contrasted with the unreasonable behavior of Li Shanglian and his wife. Anyone who came would believe that it was the Zhang family's misfortune to be entangled by two unruly people.

The steward ordered his men to take the two men and Li Zong away, and whispered a threat in their ears: "If you cause trouble again, I will kill you."

As he spoke, he patted Li Shanglian on the shoulder. To outsiders, it seemed that he was comforting them with good intentions.

Li Shanglian was frightened and calmed down.

The couple returned and looked at their squandered property.

My son was still looking at the table curiously, then he started to take a bite.

The couple are very harmonious when they are committing adultery, but when they fail, they start to blame each other.

"Why are you going to break off relations with Zhou Huanjiu and the others? He is the only promising relative in our family."

Li Shanglian was so angry that he pointed at Li Zong who was chewing on the table and cursed back: "He is your good son. If it weren't for him, would I have such a quarrel with my own sister?"

"You're talking as if I'm not your son. Why? When Zong'er was successful, you kept calling him my son, as if you were so loving. Now that he's become a fool, you're saying he's my son and has nothing to do with you, right?"

The two men started fighting.

In Wan Garden, after Li Zong was sent away, Bei Huan and Bei Jingchu stayed behind and took Zhou Huanjiu out for tea and relaxation.

Since that incident, Zhou Huanjiu has been staying at home except for the necessary court meetings and roll calls.

Zhou Huanjiu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"I'm fine. I'm not shutting myself off, and I'm not always sad."

"I just don't want to talk to people, socialize, or put on a smiling face to socialize."

"Anyway, I have my own abilities, and my future doesn't depend on anyone to promote me."

Bei Hua: “I don’t believe it.”

Bei Jingchu: "I...I do believe in this theory, but I don't believe it applies to you."

The child used to be a lively person!

She couldn't help but pull Zhou Huanjiu's shoulders, trying to shake her mind and restart.

Zhou Huan was almost vomiting from drinking so much wine, and he escaped from someone's murderous clutches with great difficulty.

Continue to persuade: "I found that if you make too many friends, you will be sad every time you see them go away one by one."

"It's better to make more enemies. Every funeral is worth setting off firecrackers."

"......"

With this mental state, who would believe him if he said he was fine?

Zhou Huanjiu didn't realize how wonderful his mental state was, and tried to instill his logic in Bei Jingchu and the others.

"But if I walk ahead of my enemies, won't that make them happy too?"

"So I just don't make friends, and I don't make enemies,"

She clapped her hands.

"Hey, I'm a genius!"

Bei Jingchu and Bei Huan looked at each other.

It's over. I'm in a very serious condition.

The two of them pulled Zhou Huanjiu and ran out in tacit understanding.

Madam Li came out from around the corner, smiling with relief.

The two of them pulled Zhou Huan out to listen to some music, while the actors downstairs were singing on the stage.

Beihua got her skirt dirty so she went to the carriage to change it.

In the private room, Zhou Huanjiu suddenly asked: "Chu Chu, are you worried that I will blame you?"

"It's your fault that you didn't save him."

Bei Jingchu paused and didn't answer, but she didn't deny it either.

She did feel that they were not as close as before.

If they became distant naturally, she could still think that it was because everyone worked hard and met at the top. Although they didn't spend as much time playing together as they did when they were children, their hearts had never become distant.
