Chapter 228 Only smart people will be fooled by the frame-up
On the day of the Ye family's funeral, the people in the city already felt unlucky.
Why are there always deaths in the Ye family recently?
Some people are already discussing that this is retribution for the Ye family.
They treated Ye Hesheng like that back then, but things have changed. Now that Ye Hesheng's daughter has become successful, it's time for them to pay the price.
The Ye family didn't have the energy to care about what the people said. They had been exhausted these days.
Qin Kerou was already in a trance, completely out of energy.
She has been losing her temper these past few days, as if she were possessed by a demon.
Especially when talking to people from the second house, it was as if he had taken gunpowder.
Shang Hongmian originally thought that she had also lost her son after all. When she thought about Ye Chengyun's death, she felt that she was just as unreasonable. She felt quite sympathetic and tried to understand and repair her relationship with Qin Kerou.
Unexpectedly, Qin Kerou did not appreciate it and kept saying that Shang Hongmian was the cat crying over the mouse, but in fact she was very happy in her heart.
These words exacerbated the conflict between the first and second houses. Ye Cheng and Ye Chi were already in a difficult position being caught in the middle, and now they finally had a rift.
Ye Chi said that his sister-in-law was outspoken and should never say such things to her family, but Ye Cheng felt that they did not understand Qin Kerou enough.
Ye Keguan was too lazy to care about them. They could only pretend in front of Pan.
Gu Ruanci sat in the teahouse, watching the Ye family's team returning from the funeral, without a trace of sympathy in her eyes.
"Here it comes..." Nong Chun next to him reminded Gu Ruanci.
Sure enough, the owner of the brothel appeared nearby, acting suspiciously, and was discovered by the people from the Zhou family who came with them.
"My Lord, that person over there seems to be the one I mentioned to the steward..."
The manager was the one from the Zhou family who had a relationship with Ye Chengyao. He had now been sent to the farm, but before leaving, he explained who the boss there was and provided a portrait.
Those who were on good terms with Zhou Zhili had to carefully look at the portrait before they could form an impression of the boss.
Originally, Zhou Zhili wanted to send people to arrest him, but thinking that he did not seem to have the position to do so, he sent someone to notify the Ye family.
When Ye Cheng heard that the boss had appeared, his eyes turned red and he wanted to tear him into pieces.
When the Ye family members chased out, the boss had already run towards another block.
"Where are the people?" Ye Cheng asked excitedly.
The servant came over quickly and said, "We've sent people after him. It was seen by the old master's men. He shouldn't be able to get far."
At this moment, Ye Cheng wished he could cut that man into pieces. His son was gone, and the reputation of the Ye family was tarnished, all because of this damn man.
"We must catch him. I will make him wish he were dead!" Ye Cheng said viciously.
The men responded immediately and quickly chased after him.
The Ye family was on the verge of rage at the moment, and no one noticed that Gu Ruanci, who was sitting in a teahouse not far away, took in all of this and then slowly looked away.
"Protect that person and don't let him get caught..."
Gu Ruanci gave instructions and everything was under control.
"Don't worry, Princess..." Zang Xia looked excited. They had already arranged these things.
The Ye family chased for a long time but couldn't catch up, but fortunately they didn't let the boss escape from their sight.
In the end, they watched the boss enter the Zhou family's yard and never come out again.
The servants were confused and thought they had seen it wrong, but after confirming again and again, they realized that it was indeed the Zhou family's courtyard.
They didn't dare to go in rashly, so they could only return to the Ye family and report the matter to Ye Cheng.
"Zhou family? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
Ye Cheng, who was in grief, was extremely shocked when he heard the news.
He never imagined that this matter would actually be related to the Zhou family.
Even if he thought that Zhou Zhili would be angry and would try to take revenge because of what happened to Zhou Yuqi before, Ye Chengyun, who made that mistake, was already dead, and there was no need for him to continue to attack Ye Chengyao.
Moreover, Ye Chengyun is from the second wife!
"My Lord, what does Zhou Zhili mean? Does he want to destroy Yao'er?" Qin Kerou even doubted the people in the second house, so how could she believe that Zhou Zhili was innocent when there was evidence?
Ye Cheng couldn't make up his mind. After thinking about it, he couldn't think of anyone except Ye Chengyun who could have any other motives.
"I'll have to discuss this matter with my second brother..."
Ye Cheng knew that his brain was not enough, and the think tank in the family was still his second brother Ye Chi.
Qin Kerou also agreed with this. Although she had an argument with Shang Hongmian, she still decided to put the overall situation first.
Ye Chi came over, but Shang Hongmian didn't come because she felt uncomfortable.
Ye Cheng didn't say much and just told him what the servants saw.
"Zhou family? Are you sure it's the Zhou family?" Ye Chi's reaction was the same as Ye Cheng's.
He also felt that this matter was too unbelievable. How could the Zhou family attack the Ye family's child, and in this way?
Ye Chi was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Brother, this matter isn't that simple. We know my brother-in-law well. We've all seen his feelings for me over the years, including his attitude towards Qin Zhu and our Ye family... Although we had some disagreements because of Zhou Yuqi's incident, that's no reason for him to attack the Ye family... Especially not Cheng Yao, who has no grudge against him."
Ye Chi's analysis was the same as Ye Cheng's.
He glanced at Ye Cheng cautiously and said sheepishly, "Actually, I also think that, apart from Cheng Yun, he has no reason to hate our Ye family... Now that Cheng Yun is gone, it's time for him to hide those emotions, especially now that Ling Yue is married to Yu Xiu. Our two families are bound together even more closely, and we can say that we live and die together..."
Of course Ye Chi listened to it, as this was also his idea.
Qin Kerou was impatient: "You believe him so much, but that boss entered the Zhou family in broad daylight. Isn't this a fact?"
This fact is also what confuses Ye Cheng the most.
Ye Chi frowned and thought for a long time before speaking: "Brother, have you ever thought that this was indeed done by the Zhou family, but it wasn't Zhou Zhili..."
Ye Cheng was stunned for a moment: "If it's not Zhou Zhili, could it be my elder sister? Are you crazy..."
Ye Chi shook his head. "Brother, what are you thinking? Have you forgotten the Zhou family's original battle for the title? Zhou Zhili originally had no chance of winning... Later, it was because Zhou Zhili's brother had no sons, and Ye Hesheng gave birth to three children for Zhou Zhili, that the title finally came to him... After all these years, is the wife of the Zhou family's eldest wife really willing to accept this? She refuses to remarry or split up the family. What is she waiting for? Her own sister is the concubine of Prince Duan, and has been favored for many years. Do they think they will accept this?"
