Chapter 302: Wen Zimei is still complacent
The result of the Ye family's discussion was naturally to take action against Wen Zimei, even if it meant letting Wen Zimei realize that they already knew what happened that year.
Now, Wen Zimei doesn't have any trump cards in his hand.
After the Zhou family returned, they did not continue the discussion.
After Zhou Zhili tacitly agreed with the Ye family's idea, he remained silent along the way.
Zhou Yuxiu felt very conflicted. Ye Lingyue kept holding his arm. He wanted to push her away many times, but in the end he couldn't bear it.
"Mother, I'm sorry."
After Zhou Zhili returned to his room, Zhou Yuxiu said something to Ye Lanxin, who was still angry.
Ye Lanxin was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Yu Xiu, you..."
"It's okay, mother. Go to bed early. There are too many things to do today. You are exhausted."
Zhou Yuxiu had no way to continue speaking, so he turned around and went back to his room.
He clearly didn't think so before he came back.
He thought of his mother's death, the grievances his mother had suffered, and the hardships Gu Ruanci had endured outside over the years, and he just wanted to break up with Ye Lanxin.
But when he saw them today, he hesitated.
Ye Lingyue truly treated him as her husband. In the first half of his life, the three women who accompanied him the longest were his grandmother, Ye Lanxin, and Ye Lingyue.
Mother, does he really want to give up everything he has now for the so-called truth of that year?
Fortunately, Ye Lingyue did not come back tonight to comfort Qin Kerou, otherwise he would be in even greater trouble.
Lying in bed, thinking about what his mother said to him before she left, he sighed deeply and persuaded himself to go to bed early and stop thinking about it.
At this time, in the yard of the main house, Wen Zimei was so happy that she couldn't sleep at all.
Over the years, except for hunting down Ye Hesheng and his mother, she hasn't been this crazy for a long time.
Of course, she was responsible for Ye Chenglei's death.
"Madam, the Marquis is back, but he doesn't look too happy. And it's said there's been no communication over there. The Marquis went straight to bed, leaving Ye Lanxin and Zhou Qinzhu staring at each other in bewilderment."
The nanny's report was very vivid.
Wen Zimei felt more relieved. "This is as it should be. The Ye family has already lost three children, so they must have some feelings towards the Zhou family. If it weren't for Ye Lanxin and Ye Lingyue, the relationship between the Ye and Zhou families would have broken down long ago. Zhou Zhili has even stopped caring about Zhou Qinzhu's marriage, and has obviously shifted his attention to his son."
The nanny's smile became even more triumphant: "They certainly haven't considered that since Madam has taken action, she hasn't considered releasing the two remaining young masters of the Zhou family."
Wen Zimei nodded. "Zhou Yuzhi is already in jail. Although Zhou Yuxiu and Zhou Zhili didn't become enemies yesterday, a rift has already formed, and their relationship will definitely not be able to return to the way it was before. When the eldest branch's sons are all dead, Zhou Zhili will also be gone. By then, the title of the Zhou family will still belong to our eldest branch. If Qingdai can give birth to a son in a few years, he will be adopted into Jizhi's name. That will be the real blood of my father and me, and the title will return to us..."
The nanny said flatteringly: "At that time, Madam was truly an old lady..."
By that time, she would be the real mistress of the Zhou family and would no longer have to act according to anyone's wishes.
Wen Zimei felt extremely happy just thinking about it.
She felt extremely disgusted because she had been suppressed by that bitch Ye Lanxin for these years.
"Those people still need to be taught a lesson. If they dare to betray me, they will definitely not have a good ending." Wen Zimei said coldly.
Madam nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Madam. Even if those people are really arrested, it will never be traced back to you. Madam has never appeared directly from beginning to end. They are all pawns in Madam's hands. Even if they die, at most they will only destroy another move in Madam's hand."
Upon hearing this, Wen Zimei smiled with satisfaction.
She has done so many bad things over the years, all by staying out of trouble.
Thinking of this, Wen Zimei felt even happier.
She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the moonlight outside.
"The moon tonight is so round and beautiful. Master, if you were watching from the sky, please bless all my plans to succeed and bless Qingdai to have a boy."
There was a hint of sadness in her tone.
She secretly swore in her heart that she would make sure that everything in the Zhou family would be in her hands and no one could stop her.
Everything the second branch of the Zhou family has now was taken away from her and her daughter.
Wen Zimei clenched his fists, with a determined glint in his eyes.
She must make those people pay the price, and everything in the Zhou family must return to her and Qingdai's hands.
Thinking of this, Wen Zimei's mood became heavy again.
Mammy looked at Wen Zimei's heavy face and knew that she was beginning to hate again.
She spoke cautiously, "Madam, what should we do next? Should we wait for them to fight among themselves, or add fuel to the fire?"
Wen Zimei said: "Let's wait and see what happens. We can't keep attacking in a short period of time, otherwise we will expose ourselves."
"yes."
The nanny left, and Wen Zimei fell into her own beautiful fantasy. Her life plan had made better progress.
The full moon sets and the sun rises.
After daybreak, the authorities suddenly received a new clue that someone had seen the gang of bandits at the place where they were last seen.
This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for the prefect who wants to solve the case.
He immediately sent people out, and following the clues, they found the trace of the group.
Although not all of them were caught, some stupid thieves were still caught.
When this news came back, Wen Zimei's good mood was ruined.
"These guys are definitely not as effective as my sister's regular troops. They were caught after just one day..." Wen Zimei complained. Nanny quickly said, "Madam, it doesn't matter. They don't know who's behind this anyway. Even if they really want to investigate, there are people below them to back them up. Madam, don't worry. No one can destroy the reputation you've worked so hard to build over so many years."
Wen Zimei nodded slightly, and the irritability in her heart subsided a little.
We have reached this stage, and every step must be taken with caution, and every action must consider the consequences.
Those stupid thieves who were caught had become discarded pieces on her chessboard from the moment they were caught. For the sake of the overall situation, sacrifice was inevitable.
She gently stroked the exquisite teacup in her hand, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
"Mammy, go make some arrangements. Have the remaining people be more cautious and absolutely not make any more mistakes. As for those who were captured, give their families a generous pension. They will know what to do."
