Chapter 34 Ye Hesheng's Spiritual Tablet
Gu Ruanci smiled coldly, and she guessed it right again.
Everyone made way for him, and Lu Enrui appeared in everyone's sight, supporting Ye Keguan.
"Soft words..."
Ye Keguan wanted to say hello, even though his granddaughter didn't want to recognize him at all.
Sure enough, when Gu Ruanci saw him, there was nothing but contempt in his eyes.
"Greetings to the Third Prince. On an occasion like today, we shouldn't have disturbed the Third Prince."
Gu Ruanci didn't even want to hide it and said it directly.
Lu Enrui, however, was able to dispel Gu Ruanci's tone and said with a smile, "My mother said that before she entered the palace, she got along very well with my aunt. Now that she is back and is willing to meet guests, I, as a junior, should come and pay my respects."
Gu Ruanci glanced at Ye Lanxin, whose expression changed slightly, and said, "Isn't your aunt standing over there? Everyone knows what happened back then, so there's no need to sugarcoat it. Since I promised to let you see my mother today, I never thought of breaking my promise. I only have one request: you two are not allowed to follow me. Don't dirty my mother's eyes."
Ye Lanxin and Zhou Qinzhu, who were called out, trembled, but after meeting Gu Ruanci's firm eyes, they felt powerless to refute.
"I really want to apologize to my sister..." Ye Lanxin whispered to Zhou Zhili.
Seeing Zhou Zhili's embarrassment, she added, "But if you disagree, Qin Zhu and I will prioritize the overall situation."
Gu Ruanci was too lazy to even make a sarcastic remark, but just stood there quietly.
Zhou Zhili sighed. As long as he could see Ye, he would worry about other things later.
Gu Congyun and Zhuang Hefeng looked at the people from the Zhou family, especially the three brothers, and they had not seen any guilt on their faces so far.
Zhuang Hefeng was the most angry with the three of them. Whenever she and Gu Congyun had the chance to come back from the border, they would always bring a lot of things for the three brothers and treat them as their own children.
After that incident, they actually wrote to themselves, saying that if Ye Hesheng went to the border for refuge, she must be sent back and her bad habits must not be tolerated.
Over the years, whenever she thought of this, she felt that her feelings had been wasted, not to mention her biological mother, Ye Hesheng.
Following behind Gu Ruanci, the entire Zhou family was thinking about what to say after meeting Ye.
Zhuang Hefeng was in a heavy mood. After she and Gu Ruanci placed their best friend here last time, she didn't have the courage to come again.
"Is this a guesthouse?" Zhou Yuxiu was the first to notice something was wrong.
Lu Enrui didn't say anything, but Ye Keguan, who was experienced, said, "He Sheng should be waiting for us in some hall..."
The Zhou family agreed and continued to follow.
When they arrived at the room where Ye and Sheng's tablets were placed, Taoist Qing Tuan and the Taoist boy who was responsible for cleaning on weekdays were already waiting there.
"Thank you for waiting in person, Master. It's us who don't know the rules."
Zhou Zhili said this deliberately, but Gu Ruanci only made him feel disgusted. He really could never forget the sour and hypocritical attitude.
Taoist Master Qing Tuan smiled and said, "Lay Buddhists, this is a quiet place. When you see Lay Buddhist Ye later, please remain quiet."
"Master, you are so thoughtful. Thank you for taking care of my daughter these days."
Ye Keguan also pretended to be a kind father, but unfortunately Ye Hesheng no longer needed it.
Gu Ruanci pushed open the door, and what came into everyone's sight was the solemn furnishings in the hall, and a tablet placed in the middle.
"This is……"
Lu Enrui reacted first and couldn't help but ask a question.
"Don't you want to see my mother?" There was a hint of sadness in Gu Ruanci's tone.
Zhou Zhili's expression changed instantly. He stepped over the threshold, entered the house, and saw the words on the tablet clearly.
"The spirit tablet of loving mother Ye Hesheng was erected by the unfilial daughter Gu Ruanci."
The three Zhou brothers rushed up and carefully identified the words on the tablet.
"She... is dead..." Zhou Yuxiu felt as if all the strength in his body had vanished with the wind, and all his persistence over the years was meaningless.
"She hasn't regretted it yet, and hasn't come back to apologize to me..."
While he was muttering, Zhou Yuzhi was already questioning Gu Ruanci: "What happened? How could she die?"
Gu Ruanci looked at his momentary frenzy and said heartlessly, "Who wouldn't die? Your sinful grandmother? Don't worry, my mother will never be able to come back to help you clear up what happened back then, or make the Little Medical Fairy change her mind and save your grandmother. You're dreaming."
Zhou Yuqi's reaction was different from his two brothers. He stared at Gu Ruanci intently.
"You're incredible! To make us give up, you actually cursed your own mother with something like this. Wherever she is, don't think you can escape by using this method. You must face what you have to face..."
Seeing Gu Ruanci's sarcastic and indifferent expression, he raised his voice: "Where is she? Where did you hide her?"
Gu Ruanci walked up to him and slapped him in the face while no one was reacting.
"Keep quiet in front of my spirit tablet. You don't understand what I'm saying, do you?"
Zhou Yuqi covered his face with his hands, his blood boiling.
"How dare you—"
"See if I dare."
As Gu Ruanci finished speaking, another slap landed on the same spot.
Then, the third, the fourth...
Zhou Yuqi forgot to resist for a moment and fell to the ground.
Gu Ruanci didn't stop and kicked him again, directly in the stomach.
When Zhou Yuxiu and Zhou Yuzhi came over to stop her, it was too late.
"Did anyone remind you to keep quiet just now? Tell me, did they?"
Gu Ruanci's aura shocked the Zhou family.
Lu Enrui looked at Gu Ruanci's sudden outburst. Besides being surprised, he actually found it inexplicably attractive.
"My son, it's not your turn yet..."
Before Zhou Zhili could finish his words, Gu Congyun had already walked over.
"If you dare to touch my daughter, I will wipe out your entire Zhou family today!"
Zhou Zhili was stunned. Gu Congyun had been in the army for many years, and naturally many enemy soldiers had died at his hands. That murderous temperament would not change just because he had stayed in Dizhou for a few years.
"This is He Sheng's funeral hall. She's been dead for years. If you pay a little attention, you can tell she's gone. Why haven't you noticed after Ruan Ci returned for so long? What do you want He Sheng to do? To explain what happened back then? Zhou Zhili, you're such a heartless person. You're asking your deceased ex-wife, who you hurt, to come out and explain that she left because she wasn't magnanimous enough, not because you and her stepsister did something shameful. Are you even a human being?"
Zhou Zhili was scolded by Gu Congyun like this, but he didn't have the energy to refute.
Ye Keguan's eyes were filled with tears. When he saw the name on the tablet clearly, he realized why Ye Hesheng had not appeared.
"My daughter, how could you be so cruel that you wouldn't even let me see you one last time!"
Gu Ruanci showed no sympathy or softness towards him, and said directly: "My mother is as cruel as you? Do you really want to see her so much that I will send you down? If you don't have the courage, don't wail here in front of my mother. Wait until your daughter outside dies and cry. Don't worry, with your virtue, you will definitely be able to send off all the young people with your old hair."
