Chapter 199 Ye Family Foreshadowing
"Don't worry about what she wants to do now. These things have nothing to do with us. I have never heard of any relationship between the Wu family and Prince Duan's Mansion. This is all just her wishful thinking. Otherwise, there would be no need to do these things to betray my little sister just to build momentum for herself."
Zhou Yuzhi is now much more sober. The Zhou family has gone through too many tests, and he knows that he has to be strong.
"That's right. With her previous reputation, it was indeed too difficult for her to marry the young master of the Wu family. Now we can pretend that we don't know and continue to prepare for Yu Xiu's marriage."
Zhou Zhili also figured it out. Since there was no way to fight back, the best way was to ignore it.
"But now my younger sister's reputation has been affected even more. How will she get married in the future?" Zhou Yuxiu thought of another thing.
Zhou Zhili said, "With the Third Prince here, are you still worried that your sister won't have a position in the future?"
After hearing this, Ye Lanxin was actually a little reluctant.
She was still waiting and watching, feeling that it was not certain who would become the crown prince between the eldest prince and the third prince.
Now, the third prince probably doesn't have this fate.
The eldest prince has a younger brother, the second prince, who helps him guard the border, and he is also the queen's legitimate son. However, his younger aunt, Concubine Rong, no longer has the honor and favor she once had, and the third prince has not made any achievements so far.
Even considering the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, the eldest prince and Gu Yutang are close friends, just like the relationship between the emperor and Gu Congyun back then.
With such a relationship, how can they cut in line?
She moved her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.
She knew that her daughter's attempt to get close to the other two princes was hopeless.
If she marries the third prince, she will be a princess in the future no matter what, and her status will be enough.
She glanced at Zhou Qinzhu and saw the inquiry in her eyes.
She nodded, signaling Zhou Qinzhu to stay calm.
Zhou Qinzhu already understood what her mother meant, so she naturally lowered her head and accepted all of Zhou Zhili's arrangements.
It's not that she hadn't thought about doing something, but if she let go of the things she had received that once belonged to Lu Wenxue at this time, the target would be too obvious. Not only would it be easily exposed, but it would also be easy for her to backfire.
As long as Lu Wenxue finds me to settle the score, not only will the Zhou family be affected, but it will also make it easier for Lu Wenxue to prove what she said, that she was the one who was plotting all these years.
She felt a little emotional, thinking that having a good background really is a headache.
"Let's leave it at that for now. Let's see if there's any other activity from Prince Duan's Mansion so we can prepare."
Zhou Zhili said this. He appeared calm on the surface, but in fact he was already extremely anxious.
He still had an obsession in his heart. Ever since Gu Ruanci came back, the Zhou and Ye families were in a mess.
Yunxiang has lived in that small courtyard in Dizhou for some time, and Zhang Jian also comes here regularly, just to pass on false information.
Now Ye Cheng and Ye Chi are still in the dark, thinking that Gu Ruanci is still testing Yunxiang.
The news Zhang Jian brought today made Yunxiang completely collapse.
"It seems that I guessed it right..." Gu Ruanci was still sitting on the rattan chair with an expected expression on his face.
Yunxiang fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, muttering, "I'm not my mother's biological daughter..."
"Indeed, very few people know about this. Even I had to inquire for a long time before I could confirm it. Your mother is Heiyan's biological sister. She died at the hands of the eldest lady in order to help Heiyan get punished... Afterwards, you were handed over to Heiyan, so over the years, Heiyan has always loved your sister more... As for the plan of the Marquis and the Second Master, Heiyan knew it from the beginning and had already thought about offering you up..."
After Zhang Jian finished speaking, Yunxiang became even more devastated.
"How can I be sure that what you say now is true?"
Zhang Jian said something particularly heartbreaking: "What's the point of deceiving you now? I need to risk my life for the County Master for my family, not for you."
Yunxiang actually knew that there was really no need for Zhang Jian to deceive herself.
But she couldn't accept that the person she sacrificed for was the one who was saved by her mother's life. Heiyan and her daughter knew the truth, but they had allowed her to continue sacrificing herself with peace of mind all these years.
She hugged her body and felt very cold.
Even when she was taken over by Ye Chengyao, when she was beaten half to death by the eldest lady, and when she was waiting to die in the dilapidated temple, she had never felt so desperate.
"Now that you are no longer a slave, I have already prepared your paperwork for you. The Ye family will never know about it. I just want to give the Ye family a great gift. It will be useful when Zhou Yuxiu and Ye Lingyue get married soon. If you don't want to, I won't force you. But if you are found by someone from the Ye family in the future, it will have nothing to do with me."
Gu Runci was calm and composed. She had not worried about this side these days and let Zhang Jian and Yunxiang communicate on their own.
She was really too lazy to spend so much time on these people and these things. After all, there was no need.
"As for Manager Zhang, your subordinates have already investigated your case. Fortunately, no one was killed, and your family members haven't oppressed anyone in the mansion. They have all fought for their own survival. After this matter is over, I will give you a new identity so that you can live a good life."
After hearing this, Zhang Jian thanked him profusely.
This result is the best for them.
He had no way of knowing for sure what the end of the Ye family would be, but no matter what, servants like them would always be slaves in the Ye family.
If they have a chance to become a good citizen, they will naturally strive for it.
Gu Ruanci looked at Yunxiang again: "As for you, do you want to leave now or take revenge before leaving? It's your choice."
Yunxiang closed her eyes and said, "County Master, I want revenge. Please help me."
Gu Ruanci nodded and told her to wait with peace of mind.
As for Zhang Jian, she still didn't teach him how to say it.
After returning to the Ye family, Zhang Jian went to see Ye Chi with great embarrassment.
"Second Master, Yunxiang is truly useless. She's been here for so many days, and her health has almost fully recovered, yet she still hasn't earned the trust of the Chaoyang County Master. When I saw her today, she actually said that the Gu family is busy these days, and the Fourth Young Master is busy preparing for the exam, so there's no chance for a new person to enter the mansion."
"Who said these words to her?" Ye Chi also felt that it was taking too long.
"It seems that the maidservant beside the county lady said it. The county lady never said anything about sympathy for her. Only the maidservant seemed to care about her."
Ye Chi did not doubt Zhang Jian's words.
They lost every time they fought with Gu Runci, which shows that Gu Runci is a cautious person. How could he easily trust someone who came from the Ye family with such a serious mind?
He thought for a moment and said, "If it really doesn't work, let Heiyan see her again..."
