Chapter 297 A relationship of hatred but inseparability
Gu Ruanci smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"Well, there's no need for the prince to show up for now. After all, the more people there are, the greater the risk of being exposed. If Wen Zimei wants to hide behind, I definitely won't agree."
Upon hearing this, Lu Enyan curled up his lips into an awkward smile.
In fact, he should know the answer. If he needed him, Gu Ruanci would naturally not be polite to him.
Even the guards outside felt that their own prince was a little abnormal.
But they can also understand it, after all, people who are moved sometimes tend to do stupid things.
Xu Dongting and Xu Xiyan glanced at each other, both with expressions as if they were watching a show.
Nong Chun and Zang Xia had long understood the prince's intentions towards their own county lady, but they would not ask about it. After all, Gu Ruanci always had his own rules for doing everything.
If she also likes Lu Enyan, she will naturally respond generously.
"Did your county lady mention our prince after she returned?" Xu Xiyan couldn't help but ask.
Nong Chun looked at him and knew that he was helping Lu Enyan spy on military intelligence, so he said directly: "I have no comment. These things should not be passed between us."
Zang Xia also said, "That's right. After all, this kind of thing is too harsh for a woman. If you're not careful, there will always be rumors. Please don't ask anymore. If you do, we won't be able to tell you."
Xu Dongting patted Xu Xiyan on the head and said apologetically, "Sorry, both of you. Just pretend he didn't say anything."
Xu Xiyan touched his head and pretended to be hurt, saying, "Brother, the county lady saved my life. I was already fragile, and you hit me on the head..."
Lu Enyan and Gu Runci ignored the noise outside and just looked out the window towards the court.
All the evidence and clues can only be examined here for now, and there is no way to go further. In addition, the attitudes of the Ye family and the Zhou family also need to reach a consensus.
The prefect was very sensible and asked the Ye family to take the body back and put Zhou Yuzhi in jail.
The Zhou family promised to fully cooperate in finding the truth in the next few days, while the Ye family had to go back to prepare for Ye Chenglei's funeral.
The Ye family was naturally the one most affected by this incident. After all, the prince they had trained for so many years died just like that.
Even though the Ye family's title is now irrelevant whether one inherits it or not, Ye Chenglei is the descendant they most hope for.
With so many children in the Ye family, the eldest wife no longer had any sons, and only Ye Chengchu, the legitimate son, was left in the second wife. As for the other two illegitimate sons, they had no chance of making a name for themselves.
Over the years, both branches of the Ye family actually had concubines, but Qin Kerou was ruthless, and none of the concubines could give birth to a son or keep a son.
The second wife, Shang Hongmian, is simpler. As long as they don't have any bad intentions, she can tolerate illegitimate sons and daughters.
Ye Chenglei's death dealt a fatal blow to Qin Kerou.
Now she has something to support her, so she can't fall down.
She wants to find out the truth for her son, seek justice for him, and also take care of his funeral.
Once all these things are done, she will probably fall ill in an instant.
It was destined that the truth would not be hidden from Ye Keguan and Pan.
Pan collapsed crying, but Ye Keguan, who had been so upset that he almost collapsed in the past few days, stood firm.
Last night, he had already remembered the curse that Gu Ruanci had used on him before, that he would live and send away all the young people in the Ye family with his old hair.
He even thought that it was Gu Ruanci who did it.
But everyone said it must be Zimei Wen, and he was also shaken.
He also did not express his suspicion of Gu Ruanci.
The Zhou family members did not go home directly, but followed to the Ye family. Zhou Zhili was no exception this time.
Everyone gathered together, Zhou Yuxiu said nothing and hid in the corner.
"Brother-in-law, what do you want to do about this?" Ye Cheng spoke.
The dead person was his son, so he must have an explanation.
Zhou Zhili looked at him seriously and said, "Brother Cheng, you should know that no matter what Yu Xiu or Yu Zhi said or did in the Ye family yesterday, they will not take action against the Ye family."
"I know. We pretended not to know Wen Zimei's true identity and attacked Zhou Qingdai. What's the result now? The harm she brought us will always be greater than what we brought her..."
When Ye Cheng said this, his voice was a little choked. He looked up at Zhou Zhili, with less complaints and more pleading in his eyes.
"Brother-in-law, shouldn't Wen Zimei pay the price?"
Zhou Zhili nodded. He was well aware of the seriousness of this incident. In any case, it had seriously damaged the relationship between the two families.
He didn't dare to say it, but in his heart he felt a little gloating over Haihui Temple's misfortune...
Because when his son Zhou Yuqi died, Ye Chengyun was also present, and although he was clearly a suspect, he was sent away by the Ye family.
Even though Ye Chengyun died in the same way later, this incident always left a lingering thorn in his heart.
Now that Ye Chenglei is dead and his son was present at the scene, his worries have finally been healed. Now it is the Ye family's turn to feel bad.
Of course he knew that the Ye family was begging him at this time only because his title was still there, and it was difficult for the Ye family to improve.
"Brother Cheng, don't worry. Since she has taken action, there must be clues. We will eventually find out. I even left my son in the cell, which shows my determination this time."
Zhou Zhili's words did not completely reassure the Ye family.
At this time, Ye Chi said: "Brother-in-law, have you ever thought that this might have been done by someone else..."
"You mean Gu Ruansi? No. If she takes action, she will not show mercy to Yu Zhi's men."
Zhou Zhili already knew that Gu Runci had absolutely no feelings for the Zhou family, and his analysis was very thorough.
Ye Chi said, "It would be more appropriate to just kill Yu Zhi directly than to use this incident to stir up conflict between our two families..."
Zhou Zhili remained silent. This possibility was not impossible.
However, he still felt that if Gu Ruanci had spoken out about this matter, there wouldn't be so many flaws.
This was clearly a random incident, and the events from Zhou Yuxiu's falling out with his family to the Ye family's falling out required continued attention. Between Gu Ruanci and Wen Zimei, Wen Zimei clearly had a natural advantage.
He did not refute Ye Chi immediately, but said: "It's okay to regard this as a possibility, but more power should be concentrated on Wen Zimei..."
Ye Lanxin stayed with Qin Kerou all the time, fearing that she would have a mental breakdown.
Listening to these analyses, she felt only resentment: "Whoever it is, they will be buried with my son."
In the evening, someone from the government came to deliver a message.
"My dear gentlemen, the prefect is worried that everyone is waiting too impatiently, so he sent me here to inform you that we have found a new clue at the crime scene. It should be left by the real murderer. If anyone has seen it, please feel free to identify it..."
