Chapter 158 The Zhou Family in Chaos
Zhou Yuxiu was stunned and said, "Our mother!"
"Haha, isn't our biological mother already dead? How do you want her to come back? Tell me, how do you want her to come back?"
His sudden change of expression startled the Zhous, including Zhou Yuzhi who had just recovered in the past few days.
"Are you crazy?" Zhou Yuxiu didn't expect him to say this.
At the same time, he looked at his father nervously.
Zhou Zhili's expression was indeed very ugly, and there was no way to ignore it.
"Is this what you want to say?" Zhou Zhili finally spoke.
Zhou Yuqi wasn't afraid, but instead said in a self-deprecating tone, "I went up the mountain today and happened to meet Gu Ruanci coming down the mountain. I wanted to ask for her forgiveness, but she refused. She also told me another thing, something we had overlooked before."
In the end, no one asked him what was going on. Instead, Zhou Yuxiu asked, "The little sister you just mentioned is Gu Ruanci? Have you forgotten that she is no longer a member of the Zhou family?"
Zhou Zhili also said: "That's right, can we have some ambition? People look down on you, but you still stick to them."
Zhou Yuqi felt even more bitter when he heard that their focus was actually here.
This is the family that my mother and sister faced back then.
He was eight years old at the time, and it could be said that he was not very sensible, but his elder brother was already twelve years old, so what didn't he understand?
"Isn't it? We are siblings, born from the same mother, but how did we treat her and our mother since we were young?"
Zhou Yuxiu lowered his voice and asked, "So, the mother you just mentioned has always been Ye?"
Zhou Yuqi looked at him fiercely and asked, "Zhou Yuxiu, what mother has done for you is only more than what I have done for you, and certainly not less than you. I am young and ignorant, but as the eldest brother, you have been leading us to call her Ye all these years. Are you really a human being?"
Zhou Yuxiu was also very angry. He felt very uncomfortable being humiliated by his own brother.
Before he could say anything else, Zhou Yuqi turned around and attacked Zhou Zhili.
"Father, since when did you start telling us that Qinzhu was our only sister? What did Ruanci, then only six years old, do to deserve such disgust? Why did you cultivate hatred for her in us since we were little? Isn't she your biological daughter?"
These words made Zhou Zhili even angrier.
"You came back just to tell your family all this, didn't you? I'm your father, do you see clearly? What's the matter? Did Gu Ruanci trick you into believing it again? She dared to quarrel with me when she was only six years old, and even pointed a knife at me. How can I praise such a rebellious girl?"
Zhou Yuqi smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't she trying to protect her mother? Has her father really forgotten what he did back then?"
He didn't wait for anyone's response, he felt he should be relieved.
"Forget it. I should be able to figure these things out myself. After all, no one has ever said anything good about my mother to me. Some things, just know it in your heart."
This sentence really makes people feel uncomfortable when they hear it.
Zhou Zhili's face became even uglier. He didn't know what Gu Ruanci had said to him to make him act like this.
"After my mother and my younger sister left the Zhou family, they were hunted down all the way. Did my father know?"
Zhou Zhili was stunned, and Zhou Yuqi and Zhou Yuzhi were also confused.
Gu Ruanci had mentioned this matter before, but they had all forgotten about it.
"Did she tell you again?"
Zhou Zhili's tone was full of impatience.
"Father, is this the only question you ask, instead of answering me?" Zhou Yuqi stared at Zhou Zhili, as if he wanted to see the answer on his face.
It’s a pity that Zhou Zhili disappointed him and still didn’t give him an answer.
"If you don't want to be the son of the Zhou family anymore, I can help you."
In fact, Zhou Zhili said this out of anger. How could he bear to give up his own sons?
"Father is so angry and embarrassed, is he trying to protect the person he wants to protect?"
Zhou Yuqi did not back down, but continued to ask.
This time, he still didn't expect Zhou Zhili to answer, but asked himself: "Could it be my grandmother?"
“Pah…”
Zhou Yuzhi slapped him. They all saw how Madam Zhang treated this little grandson when she was alive.
Now Zhou Yuqi, the most favored child, actually began to question his grandmother. Zhou Yuzhi naturally couldn't tolerate it.
Zhou Zhili's eyes were about to burst into anger. He believed that his mother had never done such a thing. After all, there was definitely no secret between them.
My mother would definitely not hide such a big thing from me.
Zhou Yuxiu was frightened by his younger brother: "Go back to your room and rest, he must be possessed..."
After saying that, he dragged him out personally.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuqi was very cooperative. He had already given up communicating with these people.
No one will admit this.
The noise they made here was still heard in the main house.
Wen Zimei was settling accounts there. Ye Lanxin was away during this period, so she took over a lot of things and also placed a few of her own people there. She couldn't do it too obviously, otherwise Ye Lanxin would still clean up when she came back.
"Madam, there's another quarrel over there. The Third Young Master seems to have been really upset recently. He has been unfilial to his mother and careless about his sister for so many years, and he suddenly realized it."
The servant complained while handing Wen Zimei a new ball of thread.
Wen Zimei said calmly, "Isn't this good? The Second Branch can stir up trouble on their own, and we don't have to do anything. Back then, they snatched the title from the First Branch because they relied on their sons. Now, look at these sons being praised to the skies, aren't they also in chaos?"
She threaded the needle expertly and continued, "People, don't covet what doesn't belong to you. The Second Branch has been in power for years, but now it's not as glorious as it seems. It has a bad reputation and poor relationships. As for Zhou Zhili's official reputation, it will only get worse. The Chaoyang County Master is the greatest punishment for them. How did he get involved with Ye Lanxin back then? Does anyone outside know?"
The servant quickly replied, "Madam, when the old lady was still alive, she issued a death order not to spread this matter. Who dares to say it..."
Wen Zimei paused, looked at her, and said nothing.
The servant finally realized what was happening and said, "Madam, I think I heard people outside talking about this matter... but not many people know about it now, and the discussion is not widespread..."
Wen Zimei finally spoke: "That's strange. The Zhou family is bustling with activity right now. People are definitely willing to listen to anything related to the Zhou family. Go and find out why so few people are talking about this matter..."
