Chapter 306: Worthy of being recognized by Zimei Wen
The Ye family received accurate information that Zhou Qingdai would choose to go to the Five Dragons Palace on the same day as Gu Ruanci.
Wen Zimei has already visited Gu Ruanci at Gu's house, but it seems that she returned empty-handed.
"Has she gotten carried away by her success this time? Does she really think she has the ability to convince Gu Ruanci to help her?"
Qin Kerou was angry when she thought about her son's death because of Wen Zimei. She was exhausted after just handling her eldest son's funeral.
If she hadn't been thinking about revenge for her eldest son, she would have collapsed again.
"I'm afraid they want to use Zhou Qingdai's miscarriage to get Gu Ruanci, who has the identity of a Little Medical Fairy, to help. Zhou Qingdai can then express the pain of separation and longing for her over the years. Gu Ruanci hates the Zhou family, but excluding the truth of Ye Hesheng's death, there is only the second branch of the Zhou family. They can definitely reconnect with this relative..."
Ye Chi's analysis is exactly the same as Wen Zimei's plan.
"She wishes. Gu Runci doesn't know, but we do. I want to tell Gu Runci the truth directly..." Ye Cheng muttered.
Ye Chi said, "Brother, how can you be sure that Gu Ruanci doesn't know about this?"
"Second brother, what do you mean?"
Ye Chi analyzed calmly, "I've been thinking about this for the past few days. Gu Ruanci has so many identities, and she's hidden them all so well. I heard that she's traveled extensively with her master over the years, visiting many places and meeting many people. She must have quite a few talented people. What if she already knows about what happened back then? Wen Zimei is courting death."
After hearing this, the Ye family found it unbelievable.
"How capable is she? Even we only found out after Wen Zimei revealed such a big flaw. How could she, a young girl, have known it for a long time?" Even Shang Hongmian couldn't believe it.
Ye Chi pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "The fact that Gu Ruanci has been able to hide so many identities and remain undiscovered is enough to prove that she is no ordinary person. Furthermore, her master must have been a remarkable person who taught her many things. I don't think Gu Ruanci was completely unaware of the cause of Ye Hesheng's death. Perhaps she is even smarter than we thought."
After hearing this, Ye Cheng frowned: "Then according to what you said, isn't Wen Zimei digging his own grave this time?"
Ye Chi nodded. "That's right. If Gu Ruanci really knows the truth of what happened back then, and Wen Zimei still wants to use her to help Zhou Qingdai and deal with Zhou Zhili, isn't that courting death?"
Qin Kerou listened with fear and trepidation: "Then, what should we do now? Is it still necessary to use the plan we came up with before?"
Ye Chi didn't hesitate. "Of course we have to use it. Gu Ruanci won't be of any help to Zhou Qingdai, but we won't attack her either. If we take action now, Wen Zimei will definitely think that Gu Ruanci knows about what happened and is deliberately seeking revenge. Even if she hates us, she won't be able to trace it back to us. Besides, she will be under tremendous psychological pressure and will never be able to calm down."
After Ye Chi finished speaking, the Ye family felt that his strategy of letting things take their own course was indeed brilliant.
No matter what Wen Zimei fights for, they do not stop him and just do what they should do.
"Won't Gu Ruanci realize that we are the ones who framed her?" Ye Cheng reacted.
Ye Chi said, "When we find out, regardless of whether she knows the truth of the past or not, we should tell her again that Wen Zimei killed Cheng Lei. This time we took action purely because we saw the opportunity when Zhou Qingdai left the city. It's just a coincidence that it's related to her. She can't really do anything to us."
"If we admit these things directly, won't she be able to deal with our Ye family better?" Qin Kerou panicked.
She felt like her brain wasn't enough, as if she couldn't understand what Ye Chi was saying anymore.
Ye Chi said, "We know who killed Cheng Lei when Wen Zimei did it, but all the evidence is gone and there's no way to investigate further. The Ye family does the same thing. Even if we tell Gu Ruanci, we still don't know who did it and who will take the blame in the future. Is this still new? Gu Ruanci is a smart person. If we tell her openly, she'll know that this matter can't bring us down."
The Ye family fell silent again. They needed to digest these ideas.
In the end, it was Ye Cheng who figured it out first: "If Gu Ruanci didn't realize it was us, then there's no need for any explanation. If she did, we just need to admit it generously. She'll know that our Ye family has a solution and won't complain again. After all, it's not a good thing for her, a county lady, to go through so much trouble only to find a scapegoat that our Ye family had already chosen. So, whether she realizes it or not, our Ye family is safe. As for Wen Zimei, as long as she thinks that Gu Ruanci already knows about what happened back then, she will only conclude that it was Gu Ruanci's doing. She will focus on how to protect herself and will not have the time and energy to deal with us..."
Sometimes, he really wanted to exchange brains with his younger brother.
At this moment, Ye Chi seemed to be glowing.
A hint of admiration flashed in Ye Cheng's eyes, and his look towards Ye Chi became complicated.
"Then...what should we do now?" Qin Kerou, who was still confused, asked anxiously.
Ye Chi smiled slightly, a cold glint in his eyes. "Don't do anything. The plan remains the same. As long as there are no changes on Gu Ruanci's side, there will be no changes on Zhou Qingdai's side, so naturally we don't need to make any changes."
In the evening, Zhuang Hefeng went to Gu Ruanci's room.
"Mom, are you worried about me?"
When Zimei Wen arrived today, Zhuang Hefeng seemed to have something to say.
She was a person who handled swords and guns, and she suddenly spoke hesitantly, which showed that she had a lot of concerns in her mind.
"I really can't hide anything from you." Zhuang Hefeng smiled bitterly and walked to the window with Gu Ruanci.
"Mother should have known that the Ye family will definitely take action this time. She must be worried that I will feel guilty about it, right?" Gu Ruanci said directly.
Zhuang Hefeng nodded, then held Gu Ruanci's hand.
"If the Ye family takes action, Zhou Qingdai will be in great danger. Mother is worried that you will feel a psychological burden. After all, you didn't seek revenge on her, but you ended up killing her."
Gu Ruanci remained calm and truly did not feel guilty or embarrassed.
"If something really happens to her, it's all due to the hatred between the Ye family and Wen Zimei. I didn't stop Wen Zimei from dealing with Ye Chenglei, and I won't stop the Ye family from taking revenge on Zhou Qingdai. Even without me, the Ye family will find another opportunity to make Wen Zimei regret it. Mother, don't worry. No matter what happens to Zhou Qingdai after she goes to the Five Dragon Palace, it's all due to the sins committed by Wen Zimei. She doesn't deserve the sympathy of a victim like me."
