Chapter 229 The Man Behind the Scenes
The expressions of Ye Cheng and Qin Kerou changed.
"Wen Zimei, that stinky widow!" Qin Kerou's words had already begun to become vicious.
She had no intention of showing any mercy to the man who dared to attack her own son.
Ye Cheng also said: "I actually forgot about her. No, I have to remind my sister quickly, otherwise she will still think that Wen Zimei is a good person..."
Ye Chi also felt that this was very necessary, and after thinking it through, many things seemed to have the truth.
"What happened between Ye and Sheng back then..." Ye Chi mentioned.
Ye Cheng quickly understood the tacit understanding between him and him.
"Yes, she doesn't have this ability, but Concubine Wen does..."
The three of them sorted out the events of the past few years and the various things that happened during this period, and quickly asked the servants to invite the Zhou family over.
In the end, the Zhou family and the Ye family all appeared in the Ye family's front hall.
"Boss, why are you suddenly gathering everyone together?" Ye Keguan was a little confused.
Recently, he has been a little nervous, fearing that something big might happen to the Ye family again.
It took a lot of effort for Mrs. Pan to stabilize her life, but now her health is not very good and she is old. The deaths of her two grandsons in succession were still too much of a blow to her.
"We've discovered something very important. We must tell everyone. Otherwise, our losses will only get worse. The enemy is always lurking in the shadows..."
Ye Chi's words made everyone even more nervous.
Zhou Yuzhi rarely participated in such an event, so he was very serious.
"Uncles, what's going on?"
Zhou Zhili glanced at him and signaled him to shut up.
In such a big occasion, as a junior, he should take care of himself.
Ye Chi took a deep breath, his eyes swept over everyone present, finally settling on Ye Keguan's face. He slowly spoke, "Father, regarding the series of misfortunes that the Ye family has been experiencing recently, especially the matter of Cheng Yao, we have found the real culprit behind it."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire front hall fell into deathly silence, and everyone's breathing seemed to have stopped.
Ye Keguan widened his eyes and looked at Ye Chi in disbelief. Wasn’t it Gu Ruanci?
What she said to herself at the beginning is now being realized step by step.
Pan held the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, her body trembling slightly.
Zhou Zhili and Ye Lanxin were also shocked. They really couldn't imagine that, apart from Gu Ruanci, there was anyone else who could treat the Ye and Zhou families in this way.
Ye Chi looked at their state and said, "I know everyone thinks Gu Ruanci must have done all this. I admit that she must have had a hand in this, but today we found another person."
"Who is it?" Shang Hongmian was anxious.
Ye Chi said: "Zhou family, the eldest lady."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.
"Sister-in-law?" The first person to react was Ye Lanxin.
During this period of time, she told the other party a lot of her true feelings.
"How is that possible..." Zhou Zhili also felt it was unrealistic.
Even Shang Hongmian said, "Husband, did you make a mistake?"
Ye Chi sighed and said, "After my brother-in-law's men saw the boss today, our people followed him and saw him enter the Zhou family yard and never come out again... But we believe that this must not have been done by my brother-in-law. After all, our Ye family and Zhou family are inseparable."
Zhou Zhili originally wanted to say something, but the following words shut his mouth.
He widened his eyes and looked at Ye Chi in disbelief, as if he wanted to see something from the other person's expression, but Ye Chi's expression was too serious, forcing him to face the problem.
"This...how is this possible?" Ye Lanxin stammered. "Although my eldest sister-in-law doesn't talk much, she has never caused any trouble. When I inherited the title, she didn't object, saying she had no choice but to do so because she had no son. She has never caused me any trouble in all these years. Since my mother-in-law passed away, she has been trying to help me solve my problems...How could she do such a thing?"
Ye Chi shook her head and said, "Sister, I know this is hard to believe, but the facts are before us, and we have to accept them. Moreover, I think there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this. Think about it, that sentence that Gu Ruanci kept emphasizing, that someone was hunting them... The Ye family has never done such a thing, and I believe the Zhou family has done the same. So who else would hate them so much?"
Zhou Zhili became even more flustered when he heard this.
He looked at Ye Lanxin, hoping that she could give him some comfort, but Ye Lanxin's face was full of worry at this time, and she was obviously shocked by the news.
"Uncle, what's the motive? What's the motive for my aunt to do this?" Zhou Yuzhi asked.
Ye Chi looked at Zhou Zhili and asked, "Brother-in-law, you don't understand either? If Ye Hesheng hadn't given you three sons, I'm afraid Wen Zimei would have persuaded the old lady to adopt a son for herself, right?"
Zhou Zhili felt powerless. All these years, Wen Zimei hated their second branch?
"Just for a title?" Zhou Yuzhi probably couldn't understand.
Ye Chi asked, "What else? Do you think a title is worthless? Who else could have had the power to hunt down Gu Ruanci and her daughter without being discovered, except for the people in Prince Duan's Mansion?"
Zhou Zhili was silent, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He had never imagined that Wen Zimei would go to such lengths to deal with their second branch just for a title.
She has been acting for so many years.
The people in Prince Duan's Mansion were naturally mobilized by Concubine Wen, and Wen Zimei did have this ability.
"Now, these things are just speculations, there is no actual evidence..."
Zhou Zhili refused to give up. If such a major conflict arose within the Zhou family at this time, their titles would be in jeopardy. Ye Chi sighed, "Of course I understand. That's why I invited you all here so carefully to discuss countermeasures. All the troubles facing our Ye and Zhou families are related to Gu Ruanci. I believe you all will not deny it..."
The Zhou family members did not say anything, indicating their agreement.
Ye Chi continued, "What made Gu Ruanci keep targeting our two families wasn't the divorce, but the hunt. If Ye Hesheng were still alive, she would have had weaknesses and people to rely on, and wouldn't have been so cruel to us... So I reasonably suspect that someone is trying to follow Gu Ruanci's lead and deal with us... There's really no way to resolve the conflict between us and Gu Ruanci, but the scale of the conflict shouldn't be decided by the person behind the scenes."
