Chapter 203 Zhou Zhili's Selfishness
The Zhou family actually received the news that night, but no one dared to disturb Zhou Yuxiu and Ye Lingyue who were being sent to the bridal chamber.
In the Hongluan Gauze Tent, Zhou Yuxiu saw the scar on Ye Lingyue's arm caused by a dog bite, which was indeed quite hideous.
However, for the stability of the two families, he still held back.
After Zhou Zhili outside received the news, he was struggling with how to explain to Ye Lingyue tomorrow.
According to Ye Lingyue's personality, she might go straight home to visit her brother.
But the bride can only return home after three days, which is considered a violation of the rules.
"Father, it would be unreasonable not to tell my sister-in-law about such a big thing happening in the Ye family. Besides, the news must have spread all over the streets. Tomorrow morning, maybe her maid will tell her."
Zhou Yuzhi said that he hoped Zhou Zhili would think about it carefully.
Ye Lanxin had been extremely worried for a long time. After all, she was Ye Chengyao's biological aunt and had watched Ye Chengyao grow up over the years.
Although she had criticized Ye Chengyao for this problem, it did not change her love for her nephew.
"Master, my eldest brother and sister-in-law will definitely not be able to bear it now. Father and mother are so old, what can we do?"
Her crying made Zhou Zhili feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhou Zhili was silent for a moment before he said, "I will let Lingyue know about the Ye family's affairs, but now is definitely not the time."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuzhi looked at his father in confusion, not knowing what he was up to.
Zhou Zhili looked at Ye Lanxin and said, "Madam, tomorrow morning, we will go to the Ye family in person to visit Cheng Yao. Yu Zhi and Qin Zhu will stay at home. We will also take this message to Ling Yue. Remember, you must let her know that we are on her side. However, she can't change anything right now. Let her be patient and hold on for another day. She will be able to return home the day after tomorrow morning."
Zhou Yuzhi finally understood his father's intention after hearing this. He nodded and said, "Yes, father, I understand."
Although Ye Lanxin was anxious, she had no choice but to accept it.
Zhou Qinzhu said nothing, she became more and more confused about her future.
She had thought about marrying the eldest prince or the second prince before. In order to achieve this goal, she tried to please Lu Hanyue, but Lu Hanyue didn't take her seriously at all.
Now that the Zhou and Ye families’ reputations have fallen, her best choice is the third prince.
Back then, my mother defeated Ye Hesheng, and she always thought she had defeated Gu Runci. She didn't expect that what they got was already what Gu Runci didn't want.
Now, Gu Ruanci has caused the Ye family and the Zhou family to suffer losses again and again, and her value is also shaky.
Gu Ruanci, why did you come back?
Early the next morning, Zhou Zhili and Ye Lanxin drank Ye Lingyue's tea with heavy hearts. After giving the couple some things, they hurriedly left and went to Ye's house.
Ye Lingyue, who stayed at home, was still quite confused. It was then that Zhou Yuzhi expressed his organized words to her.
"Something happened to Cheng Yao?"
At that time, Ye Lingyue's mind was filled with only this one thing, nothing else.
Zhou Yuxiu was also confused. Yesterday, when they got married?
Without even thinking, he instinctively guessed that it was Gu Ruanci who did it.
After Zhou Yuzhi's consolation, Ye Lingyue also had the same understanding.
"Gu Ruanci, it must be Gu Ruanci, why is she haunting me like this?"
Ye Lingyue scratched her hands, a flicker of determination and anger in her eyes. She stood up and paced back and forth, seemingly searching for a solution.
"I want to go back and take a look..."
Sure enough, Zhou Zhili guessed Ye Lingyue's decision.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuzhi hurried forward to comfort her: "Sister-in-law, I know you are worried. You two have a deep sibling relationship, but the incident has already happened, and Cheng Yao has returned home. He is taken care of by his uncle and his family, so he will be fine. You also saw that my father and mother have gone to the Ye family to understand the situation. We just need to wait for news here. If you go back now, you might cause more trouble..."
Ye Lingyue stopped and looked at Zhou Yuzhi, her eyes full of worry: "Second brother, I know you are telling the truth, but I am afraid that Cheng Yao..."
Zhou Yuxiu walked over, gently took Ye Lingyue's hand, and said gently but firmly, "Madam, you must trust your father and mother, and also trust your parents-in-law. Cheng Yao's incident happened yesterday, and they will definitely find a way to resolve it. All we need to do now is remain calm and wait for their news."
Ye Lingyue nodded. Although she was still feeling uneasy, she knew she couldn't panic at this moment. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
This kind of waiting is really hard to bear.
Zhou Zhili and Ye Lanxin arrived at the Ye family. Qin Kerou couldn't help crying when she saw her aunt, with whom she had always had a good relationship.
Ye Chengyao has woken up now, but he knows that he has become a eunuch. He has no face to live and has been seeking death.
The Ye family had no choice but to knock him unconscious.
Since last night, Ye Cheng and his wife have not slept at all, and the entire Ye family is shrouded in a dead silence.
"Sister, what should I do? My Cheng Yao is still young and hasn't married yet. What should I do with him in the future?"
Qin Kerou's crying made Ye Lanxin feel distressed.
Ye Cheng next to him was also secretly wiping away tears. His son was disabled, and he, as a father, was really helpless.
On the other side, Zhou Zhili was thinking in his heart, didn’t he defile so many maids when he was young? If he didn’t discipline them properly, who would he cry to when retribution comes?
But of course he wouldn't say these words, otherwise a fight would definitely break out.
When Zhou Yuqi died before, the anger that the Ye family had inflicted on him was not only avenged, but also given as a bonus.
"What's going on? The rumors outside are getting more and more scary." Ye Lanxin also cried for a long time before asking.
Ye Cheng hesitated, but finally told him and Ye Chi's plan.
Now that Ye Lingyue has married into the Zhou family, the two families are tied together.
After hearing this, Zhou Zhili felt a headache.
Yunxiang hasn't entered the Gu family's gate for so many days, but Zhang Jian contacts her every day. Have they never thought that Gu Runci has actually discovered it a long time ago?
I myself would have doubts about this, but Ye Chi, who is always thoughtful, didn't notice it?
He still didn't say anything, after all, anything he said would be hindsight.
Ye Lanxin asked viciously, "Where are Heiyan and her daughter?"
Qin Kerou said, "Why would I keep such a troublemaker? I sold him yesterday. I originally wanted to kill him, but the master said that too many eyes are watching the Ye family now, and we can't let anyone die. It would be a waste of their time."
Ye Lanxin said: "No matter what, this matter cannot be made bigger, otherwise it will affect the reputation of Yunyang Marquis Mansion, and then it will be over."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the voice of the eunuch delivering the imperial decree coming from the gate.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
