Chapter 231: Still Concerned About Soft Words
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Yuxiu.
"Of course, it's to throw us off balance. The less united we are, the easier it will be for her to find loopholes... Also, I suspect what Second Uncle said about someone hunting down my mother back then is true. It was my aunt who used Concubine Wen's men to do it..."
Everyone agreed with this analysis.
I'm afraid Gu Ruanci has already known what happened that year and wants to use their power to deal with Wen Zimei.
However, Ye Lanxin felt a little uncomfortable because Zhou Zhili used the word "mother" when he mentioned Ye Hesheng just now.
For so many years, these three sons always addressed Ye directly in front of anyone, never calling her mother, let alone mother.
Now, he was indeed shaken.
Ye Lanxin was in a complicated mood, and there was a bit of scrutiny in her eyes when she looked at Zhou Yuxiu.
Zhou Zhili also noticed the address of the eldest son and felt a chill in his heart.
He quickly looked at Ye Lanxin's face and found that she was indeed a little confused and unhappy, so he reminded her: "Ye is no longer your mother..."
Zhou Yuxiu said, "Father, do you still care about these things at this time?"
Zhou Zhili had no idea what to say, and even Zhou Yuzhi didn't think it was a big deal.
He could even call out "mother".
"That's right, Father. Since she gave birth to us, she deserves to be called Mother. I believe Mother wouldn't be unhappy about this. After all, she's been emphasizing to us all these years that she did give us life, and we shouldn't hold a grudge against her."
When Ye Lanxin heard this, she felt even more uncomfortable.
When I said that, I didn't mean for you to be so obedient.
However, she still said, "That's right. Now is not the time to dwell on this issue. We should think about how to solve the current situation... If we follow Yu Xiu's idea, Gu Ruanci must have solid evidence and know who did it back then. Then she must have done what happened to Cheng Yao. She put the blame on my sister-in-law and let us kill each other... If there is no such speculation, then my sister-in-law really wants to make things difficult for our Zhou and Ye families and avenge the loss of the title..."
After she gave a brief summary, Qin Kerou became excited again.
"So, my son was killed by that bitch Gu Ruanci?"
"Yes, I think so..." Ye Lanxin did not avoid the question and answered directly.
Zhou Zhili didn't say anything. Ye Lanxin and the others called her a little bitch, and she originally had the opportunity to become the pride of their Zhou family.
Even if she marries the eldest prince, it may not be impossible for her to become the queen in the future.
Over the years, they relied on Zhou Qinzhu, which was really blind.
He glanced at Zhou Qinzhu secretly. For some reason, he didn't seem to have any preference for her that he had felt for her during this period of time.
Her actions and all the recent rumors made Zhou Zhili feel that his daughter was far inferior to Gu Ruanci.
He didn't dare admit that he regretted it.
Zhou Yuzhi felt a little uncomfortable when he saw his father staring at Zhou Qinzhu.
From the look in his father's eyes, he roughly understood what his father was thinking.
But there is no medicine for regret in this world. They drove their sister away and chose Zhou Qinzhu. They are determined to continue on this path even if they have to kneel.
He coughed lightly, interrupting Zhou Zhili's thoughts.
Zhou Zhili finally woke up and said, "If you have this doubt, you might as well verify it."
Qin Kerou thought what he said was nonsense. She walked past him and said, "I'm going to find Gu Ruanci and find out why she did this. If she really is the one who harmed Cheng Yao, we absolutely cannot let this bitch go."
Ye Cheng immediately said, "Go ask her clearly? How do you want to ask? Putting aside our current relationship, even if you can see her, as long as she denies it, what can you do to her?"
At this time, Qin Kerou had already lost some of her mind.
"Why wouldn't she admit it? Isn't she very proud? If she really did it, she would definitely want to admit it sooner and show off to us..."
Ye Lanxin listened to her incoherent words and knew that there was no way to communicate with her.
"Since she wants to blame the Zhou family, she will definitely not admit it, at least not now. So we can't alert them, we still have to find a way to investigate secretly."
After Qin Kerou heard this, she found that everyone agreed, so she had to stop going crazy.
Ye Chi pondered for a moment and said, "I think we can secretly investigate Gu Ruanci's whereabouts first to see what she has been doing recently. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the movements of the Wen family to see if she has any unusual behavior. Although she is also considered a member of the Zhou family, it is only her and Zhou Qingdai who are married. What kind of feelings can she have for the Zhou family? Brother-in-law, I hope you won't be angry if I say this."
Zhou Zhili immediately responded: "Of course not..."
Zhou Yuxiu said, "Why don't we take care of the aunt? She seems to be very concerned about Lingyue now. If you have time, just ask her to come over and talk to her."
Ye Lingyue also said: "That's right, I thought she was a good person before."
Zhou Zhili felt a little comforted after hearing what the children said.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, you must be careful and don't let the other party notice our actions."
As for Gu Ruanci, the Zhou family probably doesn't have much spare energy.
If the Ye family wanted to do it, he would definitely not stop them.
After much discussion, everyone decided to wait and see how the situation would develop regarding Gu Ruanci.
After all, no one has the ability to infiltrate the Gu family nowadays. The previous plan not only failed to send anyone in, but also went around in circles and killed Ye Chengyao...
Their suspicion of Wen Zimei made the relationship between the Ye family and the Zhou family become more delicate.
Almost everyone was thinking that this time the plan must be more thorough and no mistakes could occur. They were also afraid that the other party would act carelessly and give the other party an opportunity to counterattack.
After all, Wen Zimei has been hiding for so many years, and he must be very scheming.
Gu Ruanci has too many identities, and who knows what kind of strength she has hidden behind her.
Ye Keguan didn't say anything meaningful from beginning to end, just watched these younger generations talking there.
In fact, he was in a bad mood. After all, whether it was Ye Hesheng or Ye Lanxin, the third generation of the Ye family, the grandchildren of the Zhou family, and Gu Ruanci, which one of them was not his blood?
However, these children are now killing each other, and he can't do anything.
He had no way to stop Gu Ruanci from taking revenge, nor could he stop these children from protecting themselves.
He glanced out the window and thought to himself, when will days like this end?
