Chapter 124 The Three Wolves of the Zhou Family Disobey
After hearing this, Zhou Zhili actually found it reasonable.
"That's right. She abandoned the three of you and left with Gu Ruanci. She already owed you something..."
Zhou Yuxiu always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put it into words.
Even though Ye Lanxin instigated them, she still felt uncomfortable.
Ye Hesheng's biological mother did leave behind some good things, better than what Pan gave her, and she was reluctant to give them away.
But this time it was the Empress Dowager who issued the order herself, and she had no way of directly disobeying it.
If Ye's sons were allowed to come forward, the situation would be different.
"This matter is not up to us to decide. Now that Gu Ruanci has persuaded the Queen Mother to support her, we should obey, otherwise it will also affect you."
Ye Lanxin said this deliberately, and then ordered the servants to count the things.
Seeing that Ye Lanxin was serious, Zhou Yuqi immediately stepped forward to stop the servant: "Don't go. I don't believe that these things are in our hands. What can she say? Did Ye only give birth to her child?"
Zhou Yuzhi hadn't wanted to say anything at first, but seeing his third brother so excited, he said, "That's right, we are born of the same mother. Even if she doesn't acknowledge it now, don't even think about monopolizing Ye's private property."
"Alas..." Zhou Yuxiu sighed, "When she left, she didn't want those things anymore. If Gu Ruanci had discussed it with us, we wouldn't necessarily object to giving her some compensation..."
"Compensation? Why? Does she deserve it?" Zhou Yuqi immediately turned hostile.
Zhou Yuxiu tried to calm him down, but Zhou Qinzhu spoke first: "Third brother, no matter what, she is your biological sister. She should have a share of those private properties."
Zhou Yuqi nodded her head. "You, that's how you reason, that's why you get bullied by a lunatic like her. You want to talk to her about kindness, do you think she'll accept it? You went out with Ye for ten years, and when you came back, you didn't even bother to greet your grandmother and father. You even recognized other people as your parents, just to show off to us for a higher status. Now she killed my grandmother, and she's still thinking about the private property. If Ye were alive, she should have used these to compensate Gu Ruanci for killing my grandmother. Why should you give them to her?"
Zhou Qinzhu, like Ye Lanxin, was not that happy either.
After all, she had some in her room, which came from Ye Hesheng's private property back then.
"Okay, this matter has alarmed the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, do you think she has the confidence to do this?" Zhou Zhili said impatiently.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's get someone to sort it out quickly..."
Ye Lanxin also knew that she had to at least put on a good show, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the people in the palace.
The more Zhou Yuqi thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and left the house.
Gu Ruanci and Gu Yuxuan returned to the mansion and told them what happened in front of the Ye family's door.
Zhuang Hefeng was also moved after hearing the Empress Dowager's decree.
"If it weren't for me, how could He Sheng have given up all that private property? Even though we've been respected over the years, we've never had the courage to ask for it. Now that you're back, the Queen Mother is willing to help you because you can treat Prince Duan. Ultimately, it all depends on you..."
She felt guilty, thinking that although their status was already so high, they had not done anything practical to help Gu Runci, and she felt unwilling to accept it.
"Mother, you and father gave me a home, and that is enough."
Gu Ruanci's words are sincere and heartfelt.
Gu Yuxuan recalled her sister's dashing appearance in front of the Ye family's gate and said, "That's right. Now she has family to share her joys and sorrows with. If mother wants to help her, there will be opportunities in the future. Even if she missed her coming-of-age ceremony, won't there still be a wedding and the baby's full-month ceremony in the future?"
Zhuang Hefeng laughed after hearing this and looked at him and said, "You always say things that are not proper. Did you not let your sister suffer any harm today?"
"Of course not, but the driver beside my sister is simply an extremely skilled fighter. He defeated all the guards of the Ye family by himself. I didn't even see how he did it..."
Zhuang Hefeng also looked at Gu Ruanci with some confusion.
Gu Ruanci said, "Before I left the mountain, my master had thought that I would definitely come into conflict with the Zhou and Ye families. To prevent any accidents, he assigned me a bodyguard, who was very useful."
Zhuang Hefeng nodded. "Your master is truly an extraordinary person. I never thought that he not only possesses a wealth of medical skills and has trained disciples like Imperial Physician Zang and you, but also has a master like Changsong by his side."
"Well, actually, when the master entered the world, he had already taken a fancy to my mother. However, my mother was in the Zhou family at the time and had a child, so she couldn't leave. If it weren't for what happened later, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to become the master's disciple."
After Gu Ruanci finished speaking, Zhuang Hefeng said, "The Zhou family is a hell of a pit for He Sheng."
Gu Yuting looked at his rather sad mother and said, "Mom, my younger sister has gotten back what belongs to her, shouldn't we be happy?
"I'm afraid they won't hand it over easily." Gu Yulou said directly.
"The Empress Dowager has issued an order. Do they dare to disobey it and fail?"
Gu Yuxuan didn't quite understand why his third brother had such concerns.
"Those three ungrateful people in the Zhou family were also born to Aunt Ye. Furthermore, Ye Chengchu, from the second branch of the Ye family, is a business genius. He might do something with the accounts. Who knows what loopholes there might be in the assets that will be returned..."
Gu Yulou came to this conclusion after a calm analysis.
Gu Yuxuan was stunned after hearing this. He had never thought about this before.
"Really?" He hoped that these were just groundless worries.
But based on his understanding of the Ye family and the Zhou family, what his third brother said was very likely right.
Gu Ruanci, however, looked relaxed: "If they were to obey easily and return it to me intact, it would actually be meaningless. During this period, the Zhou family is dealing with the funeral and observing mourning at home. Just because it is not convenient for me to go directly to provoke them does not mean that I can't involve them."
Gu Yuxuan suddenly got goosebumps all over his body: "Sister, have you been planning this from the beginning?"
"No, I didn't expect the Empress Dowager to issue an order to help me get back my grandmother's dowry. I originally planned to get it back slowly. But from the beginning, I didn't intend to let either family go. So since the Empress Dowager is helping me this time, I just need to adjust my plan."
Gu Yuxuan felt that his brain could not keep up with Gu Ruanci's thoughts, so he continued to ask: "Sister, what is your next plan?"
Before Gu Runci could answer, a servant came to report that the third son of the Zhou family was shouting in front of the door and asked Gu Runci to go out.
Gu Ruanci didn't waste any words and said to Gu Yulou, "Third brother, thank you for your help."
