Chapter 172 Zhou Zhili's Heart Knot
After hearing this, Zhou Zhili felt a little disappointed.
Is that all that matters? Since he's not dead, why not just stay there? Just give him a simple punishment and let him come back?
He even began to suspect that the news of Ye Chengyun falling from the building had been deliberately told to him from the beginning.
Thinking of this, he became unhappy.
Ye Lanxin asked, "Is he okay?"
The servant did not answer directly, but said: "You will know when you go back..."
"Okay, I'll be right there..."
Ye Lanxin immediately ordered the servants to prepare the car, but Zhou Zhili said, "Madam, go ahead. I'll be there shortly."
His expression was not very natural, which made Ye Lanxin a little hesitant.
She asked the servants to go out and wait, after all, this was the Zhou family's family affair.
After the servant left, Ye Lanxin asked, "Master, do you have any concerns?"
Zhou Zhili also asked the Zhou family's servants to leave first, and then said, "Madam, have you ever thought that Chengyun has returned like this, but Yuqi will never come back. We agreed to send him away for a while so that everyone can see his punishment. What is going on now? Our Zhou family's reputation is about to be trampled on the ground."
Ye Lanxin was also surprised to realize that she had agreed too quickly.
"Master, I didn't mean that. I watched Yuqi grow up, and I'm heartbroken too. You know my two younger brothers well enough. They've never disrespected you over the years. What happened before was indeed an accident. Didn't Qinzhu say that no one reacted when the whole thing happened?"
Zhou Zhili still felt awkward and asked, "So, my son died, and their son went out for a few days and had the same accident, and then came back as if nothing had happened. I still have to go and offer my condolences, right?"
After Zhou Zhili said this, Ye Lanxin also felt a little guilty.
"Of course not, Master, you are really exaggerating..."
After she finished speaking, she added, "The servant was hesitant just now and didn't explain clearly. What if Chengyun didn't wake up, but Second Brother and Sister-in-law couldn't bear to let him go and brought him back to treat his illness? You also know that Second Brother and Sister-in-law regard Chengyun as their own life."
Zhou Zhili still couldn't forgive him. Whose son doesn't have a life?
"Could it be that Ye Chengyun's accident this time was also arranged in advance? How could it be such a coincidence that he was pushed down the stairs by his uncle's most beloved son, and it was also due to a misunderstanding..."
After hearing this, Ye Lanxin was not without doubts.
But she had no way to admit it, so she could only try to mediate.
"That shouldn't happen. Who would curse their own son like this..."
Zhou Zhili smiled a little coldly, he really couldn't believe what Ye Lanxin said.
"If Madam is anxious, please go over first." Zhou Zhili felt uncomfortable and had no way to let it go.
Ye Lanxin could also understand it. After all, Zhou Yuqi had just died not long ago. In fact, she also felt that Ye Chengyun came back too quickly this time.
Even letting him stay there for a month would be better than this.
The business people will definitely not treat him unfairly.
"If Master doesn't go, how can I go back alone? It's like we've become separated..."
Ye Lanxin still showed her shrewdness at the critical moment. After all, she still had to live in the Zhou family and could not let Zhou Zhili feel that they were not of the same mind.
After hearing this, Zhou Zhili felt a little better and said, "If we don't go, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my parents-in-law."
"Let Qinzhu go over and take a look first. If there's nothing serious, we won't go back. I believe my second brother will understand."
Ye Lanxin knew that Ye Chi had always been a smart person and must know why Zhou Zhili didn't want to go over at this time.
"good."
Zhou Zhili did not refuse again, and then asked Zhou Qinzhu to pack up and follow the servant from the Ye family who came to report the news.
When the servant saw that only Zhou Qinzhu was there, he was actually a little dumbfounded, but before he came, Ye Chi had clearly told him not to say too much, so he could only swallow his words.
Zhou Qinzhu didn't bring anything with her and went out directly.
The atmosphere in the Zhou family became awkward again, and Zhou Yuxiu had already resumed his military duties in the city defense camp.
The Zhou family is no longer what it used to be. As the crown prince, he already has a strong sense of crisis and knows that he must work hard and achieve results.
As for Zhou Yuzhi, after the previous stimulation, he now likes to lock himself up to research new drugs and read medical books.
Although they all worked very hard, Zhou Zhili simply couldn't be happy.
"Master, let me make you a pot of tea..."
Ye Lanxin found a topic, she knew Zhou Zhili was upset now.
"No, ma'am, I'm not angry with you, but I'm really in a bad mood. I previously cooperated with the Ye family and the Shang family to attribute Yu Qi's death to an accident. These days, whenever I close my eyes, I hear Yu Qi blaming me."
Ye Lanxin sighed and wiped away the tears that didn't even appear.
"Yu Qi and I have been mother and son for so many years, how can I not feel heartbroken? Such a talented person, who passed away before getting married, I can't believe it no matter what."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhili felt even more upset.
"So you should understand. I feel like Ye Chengyun's accident this time was ironic. And he came back so quickly. How dare your second brother let me go there at this time? What should I say? Congratulations to him for his good fortune and for not falling to his death like Yu Qi?"
Ye Lanxin didn't dare to answer Zhou Zhili's words, nor did she have any way to answer.
"Forget it, I'm not going. I'm going to go talk to Yu Qi first and ask him to forgive me for being such an irresponsible father."
After saying that, Zhou Zhili stood up and went to the ancestral hall where the spirit tablets of Madam Zhang and Zhou Yuqi were placed.
Ye Lanxin watched him leave without stopping him.
She felt complicated, wondering how the Ye family would handle this matter. She believed that Ye Chi and Shang Hongmian had brought Ye Chengyun back without discussing it with their family in advance.
About a cup of tea later, the maid who had gone with Zhou Qinzhu came back in a hurry, breathlessly telling them something important, and asked Zhou Zhili and Ye Lanxin to go to the Ye family immediately.
"What's wrong? What's the big deal? Is it because my father and mother didn't go to greet the murderer who returned from Longjiang City that the Ye family is angry and wants them to bear the blame?"
Zhou Yuzhi happened to come out and heard these words.
The maid took a deep breath and finally said with great effort: "That's not the case. Something really happened to the Ye family. The young master passed away..."
Zhou Zhili, who had just returned from the ancestral hall, was stunned after hearing this.
"What did you say? Ye Chengyun is dead?"
The maid nodded: "Yes, the Ye family is in chaos now, please go there quickly, Master and Madam."
