Chapter 136 Ye Lanxin's True Face
Zhou Zhili was stunned for a moment, then asked with restraint, "What do you mean?"
"Father, we have misunderstood our mother all these years. You never explained, but instead fueled the flames and even encouraged us to hate her. Do you really have no responsibility for the current situation?"
His words left Zhou Yuxiu and Zhou Yuzhi dumbfounded, and Zhou Zhili became furious.
"Is that how you talk to me?"
Ye Lanxin has realized that something is wrong. This prodigal seems to be waking up.
Zhou Qinzhu also didn't expect that her third brother, who was usually the most resistant to Ye Hesheng, seemed to be brainwashed after hearing Nan Xian's words in the teahouse.
"Third brother, how can you say that about father..."
Zhou Yuqi no longer had the same fondness for his sister as before, and he felt very conflicted.
"Don't talk for now. If my hand doesn't heal, I won't be able to talk to you properly."
Zhou Qinzhu was speechless for a moment. It turned out that this matter could not be avoided.
She didn't feel sorry for her third brother. After all, in her opinion, these brothers were just stepping stones. But now was not the time to fall out.
"I know Third Brother is resentful of me, but that incident was really an accident..."
Her aggrieved look made Zhou Yuzhi feel distressed again.
"Alright, Third Brother, it's already happened, so just think about how to fix it. What's the point of you talking back to father and scolding your younger sister?"
Zhou Yuxiu also said: "I know you are worried right now, but your hand is not really beyond saving. As long as we find the Little Medical Fairy, we can still cure your hand..."
These words did not touch Zhou Yuqi's heart.
At this moment, he was not concerned about this issue.
Zhou Zhili was also annoyed and waved his hand: "Go back to your own yard and calm down. Don't embarrass yourself here."
These words did calm Zhou Yuqi down, but he was already feeling dissatisfied with his father.
Zhou Yuzhi was worried that he would be depressed, so he followed him.
"It's getting more and more outrageous..."
Zhou Zhili said something while they were leaving.
Only at this time did Ye Lanxin dare to ask what happened in Shengpinxuan.
Zhou Yuxiu was not overly concerned, so he was also curious.
Zhou Qinzhu thought that she couldn't lie, so she recounted the story of Nan Xian appearing and telling the truth of that year.
She also looked at Zhou Yuxiu worriedly. She was afraid that her elder brother would be easily led astray by this matter and would no longer be close to her.
Sure enough, Zhou Yuxiu was stunned. This matter was completely beyond his understanding.
Even Zhou Zhili opened his eyes wide, this Nan Xian!
"Those things were done by Ye's...mother?"
Zhou Yuxiu suspected that he had heard it wrongly. No one had ever told him this in all these years.
In his impression, his grandmother took care of everything for the three brothers personally.
The smile on Ye Lanxin's face had begun to crack. For so many years, they had not called Ye Hesheng "mother", but now they had changed?
People are dead now, have these scum finally come to their senses?
She tried her best to remain elegant. After all, she had not yet married at that time, so she could just pretend that she didn't know.
Zhou Zhili couldn't remain calm anymore. He said, "This is all so long ago. How could I remember it so clearly?"
Zhou Yuxiu reacted and asked, "What did my third brother just say? What about my second brother and I? I practice martial arts and my second brother studies medicine. Were we also the ones that mother found?"
Zhou Zhili felt annoyed. "It was your grandmother who raised you back then. I was busy out and about all day, so how could I have the time to care about so many things? Besides, Ye had already given birth to Gu Ruanci, and all her energy was focused on her. How could she have had the time to care about you? That Nan Xian disappeared for so many years, and just showed up and spoke up for Gu Ruanci. Do you believe that?"
Zhou Yuxiu was in a dilemma. There was no reason for his father to lie to him. After all, he was already the crown prince. But his third brother's reaction didn't seem fake either.
At this time in Zhou Yuqi's room, Zhou Yuzhi also had a serious expression on his face.
"Third brother, you were too impulsive just now. You didn't even verify what Nan Xian said before you said that to father. Isn't this embarrassing for father?"
Zhou Yuzhi's words did not calm him down.
He had always been proud, but after suffering a series of setbacks, he heard that his mother, whom he had hated for so many years, had done such an important thing for him. How deeply had he hurt her back then to make her leave resolutely?
"Second brother, if this is true, have you ever thought about how cruel I was to my mother?"
Zhou Yuzhi hesitated. He had no way to answer this question. After all, he had no way to confirm the authenticity of this matter.
But there is really no need to say much about Nan Xian's character.
At this time, he was just hoping for a lucky break, as what happened back then was just some misunderstanding.
"This is not a reason for you to contradict your father. He doesn't know about this..."
Zhou Yuzhi is still trying to exonerate Zhou Zhili. The Zhou family is in a troubled time right now and cannot afford to have any more problems from within.
"Second brother, Father has been belittling Mother in front of us all these years, and we ourselves haven't judged it. Otherwise, how could we hate Mother so much? Think about it calmly. Was Mother's situation back then really easy? Are Father and Mother truly innocent?"
Zhou Yuzhi still didn't dare to answer, he knew that his answer would affect Zhou Yuqi's judgment.
"In short, I think you should verify what happened back then and not make a blind decision."
After saying this, he made an excuse that he was going to check out a new prescription and left in a hurry.
Ye Lanxin and Zhou Qinzhu could no longer sit still, and they plotted in Zhou Qinzhu's room for a long time.
"Mother, Third Brother seems to have noticed something. What should I do if he keeps blaming me?"
Zhou Qinzhu is young after all and has no experience in such things.
Ye Lanxin said, "Haven't we been trying to persuade them to look for Ye Hesheng all these years? When those things happened, I wasn't married yet, and you weren't officially their sister. So, it's not our fault, right? They're just stupid. That was all instilled in them by your grandmother and father, and it has nothing to do with us. If things don't work out, they can just put all the blame on your grandmother. I want to see how they can hold a grudge against a dead person."
Zhou Qinzhu nodded immediately. "That's right. Grandma raised them. Even if I did something wrong to them, what can I do? It has nothing to do with us. I can soften their stance and they will just let me use them."
Ye Lanxin stroked her head and said, "My dear daughter, remember this: these men in the Zhou family, including your father, should serve as stepping stones for you to rise to the top. Your task now is to find the right time to see which prince has the most potential and become his consort..."
