Chapter 23 Green Tea's Bitch
Lu Wenxue was instantly stunned by Gu Ruanci and was speechless.
"you……"
She was angry. He was indeed the one who dared to contradict his biological father and grandfather. He was used to having no rules. He must have been thinking about how to fight back against her from the beginning.
"Wen Xue, I'm sorry, it's all because of me..."
When Zhou Qinzhu arrived, Gu Ruanci was a little surprised.
Although they haven't seen each other for ten years, and they look very different from when they were children.
However, her eyes and eyebrows are becoming more and more like Ye Lanxin of the past.
"Qinzhu, your sister is truly sharp-tongued. After climbing up the social ladder and becoming a county lady, she's really bold in saying anything. I know what happened between you two. You were only five years old back then, how could you have made the decision? She targeted you the moment she came back. How despicable! You've been defending her in front of me all this time. I really feel sorry for you."
Lu Wenxue's words made Gu Ruanci want to laugh.
Just as Gu Yulou was about to say something, Gu Ruanci reminded him, "Third brother, don't worry. This is just a discussion between us women. Since County Master Mingyue is so determined to help Zhou Qinzhu and isn't afraid of her coming-of-age ceremony, which nearly killed my grandmother, even if it's out of admiration for her courage, I should have a few words with her."
Zhou Qinzhu's expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Sister, Mother said that what she did back then was indeed inappropriate and hurt Auntie's feelings. I just didn't expect her to disregard the family's reputation and insist on destroying everyone. She has proposed to look for you many times over the years, but my brothers and Auntie are very angry, and Mother is reluctant to insist."
"After all, the three young masters of the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion were all born to my aunt. Even if I don't want to mention my aunt because of misunderstandings over the years, they are still mother and son. Should we always be estranged?"
Every word Zhou Qinzhu said seemed to be from the Ye family's perspective, but it made people feel that the Ye family was indeed making a fuss out of nothing.
Gu Ruanci didn't interrupt. It was a free performance, so just watch it for fun.
"Now my grandmother is old and seriously ill, and her life is in danger. I had originally accepted my father's invitation and came to Dizhou, but because of a misunderstanding back then, I was unable to treat my grandmother's illness."
"During my aunt's absence, it was my grandmother who painstakingly raised her three sons. For this reason, shouldn't my aunt come forward to clarify what happened and ask the Little Medical Immortal to change her mind?"
Zhou Qinzhu sighed and gave Gu Ruanci a deliberately resentful look before adding, "If Sister needs conditions before agreeing to help, I'm willing to do anything. And please, Sister, for the sake of Grandmother's love for you for six years, save her life."
Gu Ruanci let her finish her words, but her heart was calm.
Lu Wenxue felt the same way again, and looked at Gu Ruanci with even more displeasure.
"Gu Ruanci, compared to Qin Zhu, you are not even worthy of being on the stage. You have no tolerance at all. No matter what happened back then, your grandmother and your father's status will not change, and your three brothers also have the right to teach you."
Many of the people who gathered around had already been persuaded by Zhou Qinzhu and Lu Wenxue.
The way they looked at Gu Ruanci was also different.
"It seems that County Lady Mingyue really knows more. Not only can she dissuade me from going to the palace to express my gratitude tomorrow, she can also change the laws of Dayao. After a man and a woman divorce, if the children's ownership is clear, it has nothing to do with the other party. Such a law was completely ignored by the County Lady with just one sentence."
Lu Wenxue was stunned again. This Gu Ruanci always used something that she couldn't refute to suppress her eloquent talk.
"You've been talking for so long, as if it was us who stopped the Little Medical Fairy from treating the old lady of the Marquis of Jing'an. Especially you, Zhou Qinzhu. If I remember correctly, if your Zhou family hadn't used your coming-of-age ceremony to hype up the Little Medical Fairy's attendance, and even tacitly agreed that your second brother would become her disciple, you wouldn't have been so embarrassed that day, and the old lady wouldn't have been so furious."
"You're the ones who caused this trouble, and now you're asking the victims to come forward and clear the air. You're even using your three brothers to try to convince my mother. I'd like to ask, when my mother was wronged, I was only six. They weren't, were they? Zhou Yuxiu was ten at the time, already well into school. Yet, at that moment, you told your own mother she was jealous and intolerant. What do you want my mother to thank you for?"
"Are you thanking the old lady for snatching away her three sons as soon as they were born, never letting her interfere in their upbringing, and raising them all to be ungrateful wolves?"
Seeing Zhou Qinzhu's embarrassed expression, Gu Ruanci continued bluntly, "On the day I returned to Dizhou City, I went to the Shouguo Mansion. It was the Second Young Master who insisted that I kneel down and apologize before he would consider letting me work as a servant. He said that you were his only sister in this life. So, what was your reasoning to convince us to help save your grandmother, who fell ill because of you?"
"Also, please answer me seriously this time. Have we ever stopped Xiao Yixian from treating your grandmother? Or do you think we can influence Xiao Yixian to treat your grandmother?"
After Gu Ruanci finished speaking, Zhou Qinzhu knew that she couldn't win the argument, so she simply shed a few tears.
"Everything my sister says is right now. She's just taking her anger out on me because of something I couldn't have done anything to prevent ten years ago. It's okay, I can handle it. After all, it was me who enjoyed the care and love of my father and brothers over the years. My mother was a widow, raising me as her only daughter. Even if she didn't end up with my father, we're just cousins. Doesn't that mean my three brothers can't care about me? It was my sister who gave up this relationship herself."
When she cried, Lu Wenxue, who was already a little conflicted, couldn't stand it anymore.
"That's right, Gu Ruanci. No matter what you say, she can't be blamed for what happened back then. As the county lady, she has no tolerance for others."
Gu Ruanci did not indulge her this time: "As the county lady, it is best not to meddle in other people's affairs, not to mention that you are not fair."
"How dare you talk to me like that!"
They were arguing when the three Zhou brothers arrived.
"Gu Ruanci, why is my little sister crying? Did you bully her again?"
Zhou Yuxiu didn't understand anything and just asked directly.
"Nothing good ever happens when you're around. You think you're great just because you're the county lord, right?"
Zhou Yuzhi's voice was also gloomy. He had been exhausted these days because of his grandmother's illness.
Zhou Yuqi even said directly: "Why don't you die outside——"
Before he could finish his last word, Gu Yulou had already slapped him.
"You dare to hit me?" Zhou Yuqi covered his face and asked.
Zhou Yuxiu and Zhou Yuzhi were also excited, but Gu Yuting said to Gu Ruanci calmly, "Don't be afraid, little sister. Your third brother can beat three of them alone."
After hearing this, Zhou Yuqi said angrily, "What third brother? I am her third brother, and we are her brothers!"
After hearing this, Gu Ruanci laughed sarcastically.
"I have an older brother and a younger brother. These are the real ones. You three are nothing to me."
