Chapter 186 Smiling Sister-in-law
The nanny exaggerated the story of the old lady's meeting with Gu Runci, their conversation, and the arrogance of the maidservant beside Gu Runci.
Ye Keguan just sighed. Gu Ruanci had reminded him twice that he would have to send off all the young people when he was old.
It seems that she will not give up until she achieves her goal.
"This is simply too much. Her mother is so old, and she is the one who raised her. How could she speak to her in such an attitude?" Qin Kerou said directly.
She was Pan's niece from her mother's side, and later married into the Marquis's family at Pan's arrangement, so the two of them were naturally of one mind.
Ye Cheng was also unhappy after hearing this: "Father, we used to take her into consideration because she is your granddaughter after all, but now it seems that she really doesn't consider us as her family. The more she denies, the more I am sure that whether it is Yu Qi's matter or Cheng Yun's matter, it must be related to her. Isn't she the Little Medical Fairy? Maybe she has some hidden identity."
Ye Keguan did not answer immediately. He knew clearly why Gu Ruanci did this.
"I must make her pay the price..."
Shang Hongmian, who had not yet recovered from the pain of losing her son, said this with gritted teeth and red eyes.
Ye Chi patted her shoulder gently, then pulled her into his arms.
"Madam, as a father, I will naturally avenge my son. Don't worry, I will make Gu Ruanci lose everything she relies on."
After saying that, he glanced at Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng's eyes were equally determined. They would continue to implement that plan.
After a while of complaints from the Ye family, the Ye brothers finally got together.
"Things with Yunxiang won't go smoothly..."
Ye Chi said directly that based on the report Zhang Jian brought back today, this was the only conclusion he could come to.
He had no doubt from beginning to end that Zhang Jian at this moment was no longer the Zhang Jian of the past.
"That's good. If things go too smoothly, I'll think Gu Ruanci has discovered something... She's able to do things so flawlessly. She hasn't failed since returning to Imperial State. She's also a calm and steady person, so she must be very cautious in everything she does."
Ye Cheng was not anxious, but thought it was a good thing.
"As for Yun Duo and Hei Yan, let's ask Sister-in-law to hold off on making any decisions yet. We should at least give Yun Xiang some peace of mind."
Ye Chi reminded her that Qin Kerou could do anything to protect Ye Chengyao.
"Well, don't worry."
"Let Zhang Jian go again tomorrow to check on the situation. We have other things to do and can't delay. Cheng Yun has been buried, and Gu Ruanci hasn't stopped her revenge on the Ye family. I will definitely not let her have an easy time."
Ye Chi thought of his youngest son and felt sad.
His hatred towards Gu Ruanci became even stronger.
"How is Lingyue?" Ye Chi asked.
"She has a bad mentality, and those ugly scars on her body make her extremely irritable. Everyone knows that it was Gu Ruanci who did it, but they can't do anything about it. This is what drives her crazy the most." Ye Cheng sighed after he finished speaking.
The two fathers had their children in trouble because of Gu Ruanci, but they had to wait for an opportunity to retaliate. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
"No matter what, Lingyue is already older now, and it will be difficult for her to stand out in a marriage with a noble family. It would be better for her to settle down with the Zhou family. If her brother-in-law really has other candidates, it would not be a good thing."
Ye Chi mentioned this and then remained silent.
Ye Cheng did not answer, but looked into the distance and nodded slightly.
The Zhou family has been relatively quiet these days. Ever since Ye Chengyun died, Zhou Zhili's mood has become more balanced.
The Zhou family lost their son, and the murderer of the Ye family deserves to die as well.
Ye Lanxin and Zhou Qinzhu could both clearly feel that the Zhou family no longer had the fortune it once had, and seemed to be on the verge of recovery.
Zhou Yuzhi has regained some vitality. Recently, Zhang Songming gave him a few medical books for him to study so that he would not give up on himself at home.
Zhou Yuxiu also worked harder in the city defense camp. As the prince, he felt a sense of urgency.
When Wen Zimei came over, Ye Lanxin was worried.
"Sister-in-law is here..."
She stood up to greet him, feeling a little expectant.
There has not been much contact between the two over the years. After all, when she got married, Zhou Zhili's eldest brother had already died, and Wen Zimei had long since handed over the power of housekeeper and retreated to her own yard, rarely going out.
She has been a frequent presence in the mansion over the years. When Zhou Qingdai got married, she did not hold a grand wedding and was very low-key.
The Zhou family had been in trouble frequently during this period, which made the sister-in-law of the eldest wife feel uneasy.
"I was bored in the courtyard, and I thought my second brother and the others were busy these days. You probably wanted to talk to someone, so I came here uninvited. I hope my sister-in-law doesn't mind?"
Wen Zimei's smile was warm and non-aggressive.
"Of course not. I actually hope my sister-in-law will come over more often."
Ye Lanxin had many things in her heart that she couldn't tell the other party, but she could still vent some of her complaints.
As expected, it didn't take long for Ye Lanxin to start complaining after the two of them sat down.
"Sister-in-law, that Gu Ruanci is really too vindictive. No matter what, the Zhou family is her roots. Without the Zhou family, where would she be? Moreover, Yu Xiu and his brothers are her biological brothers. When Yu Qi died, she didn't even show up. What kind of person is this? Such a cold-blooded person, and she still says that we were wrong in this and that back then. Ye Hesheng doesn't know how to teach children at all."
Wen Zimei responded gently and said, "This may be related to her experiences over the years. After all, she was only six years old when she left, and now she is only sixteen. Sister-in-law, a sixteen-year-old girl must have suffered a lot to have such skills."
Her understanding look made Ye Lanxin feel uncomfortable.
Shouldn't she be considerate of herself at this time? Why is she feeling sorry for Gu Ruanci?
"I don't object to what my sister-in-law said, but Ye Hesheng is dead. Aren't the people closest to her in this world the master, Yu Xiu and the others? Of course, there's also my father... But she refused to acknowledge them all and insisted on staying in the Gu family. She even got included in their family tree, giving up everything from her first name to her last name. She also kept targeting Qin Zhu... No matter what, Qin Zhu hasn't done anything to let her down over the years, right? How old was Qin Zhu back then?"
Wen Zimei nodded: "That's right, Qin Zhu has grown up under my care. Since she is loved by so many people, she must have her reasons..."
The sneer in her heart was not shown on her face at all.
Ye Lanxin was in a very low mood, and Wen Zimei's attitude made her let down her guard.
"My mother met her a few days ago. Her arrogant attitude was truly infuriating. Not only did she hit the nanny who was with my mother, she also said she would find out who was hunting her mother down. I really don't understand. They were already destitute back then. Who would waste the energy to hunt them down?"
