Chapter 174 Another Request from the Ye Family
Zhou Zhili felt much better when he saw that they all seemed unhappy, but he didn't say anything else in the end.
Shang Hongmian has always been like a wooden man. Since Zhou Zhili came in, no one has heard her say a word.
Zhou Qinzhu carefully hid in the distance with several cousins.
Ye Chenglei watched the movements among the adults and could do nothing but sigh.
"Let Chengyun rest in peace soon. He's been through so much trouble along the way..."
Pan finally said that now that the facts were before their eyes, there was no way they could reverse the situation.
Just as he finished speaking, Shang Shangshu and Princess Jincheng hurried over.
"My carrier!"
After Princess Jincheng came in, she started crying.
It was really sad for her to see her loved one die before her.
Shang Shangshu's body was also shaking, and it was obvious that he was crying.
"How could you bear to abandon Grandma and go away? Didn't Grandma promise you that you could stay at your uncle's house for a month and then come back?"
The voice of Princess Jincheng finally woke up Shang Hongmian, who had not responded for a long time.
"Mother, mother, Chengyun doesn't want me anymore... Is Chengyun angry with me and blaming me for sending him away? Mother, please talk to Chengyun. I'm doing this for his own good. I never wanted to give up on him..."
Her sad voice and almost crazy state made people feel very uncomfortable.
Princess Jincheng hugged her and called her her darling. The two of them cried together and there was no other movement for a long time.
Zhou Zhili looked at it and suddenly thought of his mother.
His tears couldn't stop moistening his eyes. The Ye family looked at him and thought that he had finally let go of the past and was sad with them.
In the end, Qin Kerou couldn't bear it anymore and went up to persuade them, saying that the child had already returned home and now it was time to think about the next step. Don't let the child stay in the human world, as it would be bad for him.
The old man naturally believed such words.
Even though she was reluctant, Princess Jincheng wiped her tears and said, "My dear relatives, how is your research going? When will it be published?"
She took the lead as soon as she entered the room. She first suppressed everything in the atmosphere, and then brought up the topic directly. The Shang family boy who caused the accident did not come over this time. The only one who followed him, Shang Hongyang, just remained silent. From what Princess Jincheng said, she had no intention of holding them accountable.
This made the Ye family particularly uncomfortable. Why did Princess Jincheng never mention it?
Zhou Zhili could see that the Ye family was upset, but he didn't help. He just wanted the Ye family to feel the pain he felt that day.
Sure enough, this kind of thing will have retribution, and so quickly.
He helped Princess Jincheng without saying anything, which was considered to be very graceful.
Ye Lanxin knew that she had no way to say anything. After all, she was a married girl and she couldn't get involved too much in her parents' affairs.
And judging from Shang Hongmian's attitude, he had no intention of holding his nephew accountable.
"Did my grandson die in vain?"
In the end, Pan said that she had been striving for power all her life and had never forgotten that she was a second wife and was inferior to Ye Hesheng's biological mother, so she had been plotting against Ye Hesheng since childhood.
Now someone has killed her grandson, and she, the grandmother, hasn't said anything yet, but the mother-in-law has directly cleared the people on that side. How is this possible?
Shang Hongyang knew he couldn't escape, and he also knew his sister was doing well in the Ye family, so he said, "Old Madam, this is indeed my son's fault, but he's been beaten so badly that his skin and flesh are torn apart. He's been bedridden for more than a month. This time, I didn't bring him here to apologize. I'll wait until Chengyun's funeral is over and let him recuperate for a while. Then I will bring him to apologize..."
"well……"
Pan thought about it, but there was no better way, so she could only throw her sleeves down and sigh heavily.
When the Ye family discussed the funeral, they also had to consider Shang Hongmian's occasional crying.
Zhou Zhili didn't want to leave at first, but when he saw that the Ye family and the merchant had really reached an agreement and would not discuss how to take responsibility for the time being, he felt a little tired and prepared to leave first.
As a result, when he wanted to leave, Ye Cheng stopped him.
"Brother-in-law, can you please excuse me?"
Zhou Zhili was stunned and didn't understand what was going on.
"What's going on? It's happened. I know you're sad, but I don't have any ideas. What do you want to talk to me about alone?"
Although he met Ye Cheng's request, Zhou Zhili was still eager to distance himself from the matter.
"It's not Chengyun's business, it's someone else's. If this hadn't happened today, we would have wanted to come over and discuss it with my brother-in-law."
Ye Cheng's words aroused Zhou Zhili's curiosity.
"What on earth is it that's worth you saying at this time?"
Ye Cheng hung his head and rubbed his hands, obviously brewing something.
Zhou Zhili had a premonition that he wanted something from him.
In this case, he could certainly put on airs and temper his temper.
So he was no longer in a hurry, but just sat there, leaned back, and said nothing.
Finally, Ye Cheng couldn't help but said, "Brother-in-law, what I want to tell you is about Ling Yue."
Zhou Zhili didn't understand what was going on, so he asked, "I haven't seen Da Lingyue yet. Her injury isn't on her face, so can't she see anyone?"
Ye Cheng sighed and said, "Brother-in-law, haven't you heard the rumors outside these days?"
"What rumor?" Zhou Zhili really didn't care.
He has not had time to feel sad these days. Losing two close relatives in such a short period of time is an extremely painful blow to him.
Ye Cheng then spoke, "People are saying that even if the eldest princess's dog didn't bite Lingyue's face, it did bite her scalp, which will definitely leave a scar. She also has several wounds on her body, which will definitely leave ugly scars. This incident has affected her marriage. The few families who originally helped her have stopped pursuing her have all given up. She is already old enough, and with these defects, it is absolutely impossible for her to enter the palace. So my wife and I thought that Yuxiu was raised by us, and he is young and promising. If Lingyue follows him, it won't be a grievance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Zhili became a little unhappy.
Among the families considered before, none of them included the Zhou family?
Since their son is so outstanding and will not let Ye Lingyue suffer, why didn't they consider it before?
Isn't it just that you want Ye Lingyue to get close to the rich and powerful, and want her to enter the palace and become the prince's consort?
Now that this path is blocked, they want their son to cover for them. This is really a good plan.
"I'm afraid this isn't appropriate. Yu Qi just died. Although Yu Xiu, as the eldest brother, doesn't need to observe mourning, it's uncommon for an eldest brother to discuss marriage right after his younger brother passes away. If this gets out, it will be a laughing stock. How will people view our Zhou family in the future..."
