Chapter 345 Where Your Brother Fell
As usual, the affairs of the Zhou family reached Gu Ruanci's ears.
At that time, she had just given Lu Enyan an acupuncture and wrote a new prescription for him.
During this period, Lu Enyan's physical recovery reached a bottleneck and began to slow down.
But he himself was not in a hurry. He felt it was unrealistic that all the pain he had suffered over the years would be cured suddenly.
The reason I got better so quickly before was because I was bad enough, so the contrast was obvious.
Now he lives like an ordinary person. Although he cannot practice martial arts or other strenuous exercises, he has indeed reached a relatively stable state.
It is indeed still a long time from the time Gu Ruanci mentioned at the beginning.
"Zhou Yuxiu seems to be regretting his decision and wants to draw a clear line with the Ye family..." Lu Enyan said as he straightened his sleeves.
Gu Ruanci remained unmoved: "This belated affection can't even reach my mother's tablet. I won't give him any assumptions. I will forgive him for whatever he can do. This option has been completely closed to the Zhou family since the day my mother died. No matter who it is, no matter how much they regret it, I will not forgive them. If I hadn't come back alive, and hadn't lived a dazzling life, would they regret it?"
Gu Ruanci spoke very clearly. What she wanted was not the Zhou family's repentance, but pure revenge.
She had never heard that the victim could be resurrected because the murderer regretted his actions.
"The county lady is indeed calm..."
Gu Ruanci said, "What if I'm not calm? Are you really being impulsive and expressing sympathy for his current situation? When my mother was betrayed by Zhou Zhili, she didn't feel heartbroken. Being betrayed by the three sons she carried for ten months was the most painful. Do they feel this pain now?"
Her tone remained calm. She did not feel that Lu Enyan did not understand her, nor did she feel that Lu Enyan was trying to plead for the Zhou family.
Lu Enyan thought about what his mother had gone through over the years. No wonder his mother would never forgive his father's absurd behavior.
Although the misunderstanding was resolved, the harm done to my father was real.
"Your mother will definitely be proud of you..." Lu Enyan sighed.
Gu Ruanci's expression remained calm, which was obviously not what she wanted.
But she also didn't want to be pretentious in front of Lu Enyan. After all, his praise was genuine.
Moreover, she does not need anyone's approval to prove her worth.
She has her own goals and her own persistence, and the experiences she has gained over the years have made her strong and independent enough.
"I know that the prince is worried that the current behavior of the Zhou family will make me waver. What happened before is like a joke. Even if the Zhou family kneels in front of me with Ye Lanxin's head in their hands, they can't move me. I will naturally deal with the Zhou family's affairs, but I will never let my emotions affect my judgment, and I will never let anyone hurt me." Gu Ruanci said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Enyan nodded. He knew that Gu Ruanci was a sensible person and he didn't need to worry too much.
"That's good. If you need any help, just let me know." Lu Enyan said the same thing.
Gu Ruanci smiled slightly as a response.
There was a noisy sound coming from downstairs. Soon the shopkeeper came up to report that the Zhou family's eldest son was drunk and had a fight with someone downstairs.
"Don't worry about it. Just count the losses and send the bill to the Zhou family. Their prince smashed other people's shops, and they, as a noble mansion, will definitely not deny the responsibility."
Gu Ruanci didn't want to go down and take a look, and there was no need to care about what had happened.
"yes……"
After hearing this, the shopkeeper finally understood what was going on.
He knew the relationship between Gu Ruanci and Zhou Yuxiu, so he came up to ask.
"What's the fight about? If the Zhou family's heir is in the wrong, my people can go over and help. Dongting, go take a look first."
Lu Enyan was curious, so he asked.
The shopkeeper's soft words did not mean to stop him, so he stopped and explained to Lu Enyan.
"Someone was saying something bad about the Marquis of Jing'an's wife. He didn't take it seriously at first, but then they started talking about Ye Lingyue, the Crown Prince's wife, saying she was also from the Ye family and must be as shameless as the Marquis of Jing'an's wife. Maybe in a few years when the Zhou family fell on hard times, she would find someone else to have an affair with and then remarry... Only then did he come out from the partition, told the person to shut up, and then took action."
"Xiyan, you should go too."
After hearing this, Lu Enyan felt that Zhou Yuxiu deserved a beating even more.
He stepped into the restaurant owned by Gu Ruanci and dared to be so presumptuous.
The Ye family, what can't be said? Isn't this the good reputation that Ye Lanxin has earned for them?
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he looked at Gu Ruanci, and when he saw that she had no other instructions, he retreated.
Lu Enyan looked at Gu Ruanci with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"I'm afraid your restaurant won't be able to do business today."
Gu Ruanci smiled faintly, "It's okay, the Zhou family will compensate for the losses. As for the business, it's better not to do it today."
Lu Enyan nodded, admiring Gu Ruanci's calmness in the face of adversity.
"You are quite patient. I hope the county lady will forgive my curiosity just now."
Gu Ruanci did not answer, but just stood there quietly, looking downstairs, as if thinking about something.
After a while, she said, "Looks like I need to go down and take a look..."
Downstairs, Zhou Yuxiu had been controlled by Xu Dongting, and the talkative person was pulled aside by Xu Xiyan.
Zhou Yuxiu was not convinced and wanted to struggle, but he happened to see Gu Ruanci coming down from upstairs.
For a moment, he forgot what he was about to do, and his eyes kept following Gu Ruanci, trying to move forward.
"Little...little sister..."
Under the influence of alcohol, he still shouted what he wanted to shout the most.
Gu Ruanci walked slowly downstairs and went straight to him.
"Young Master Zhou, what brings you to my restaurant? Are you here to pay your respects to your third brother who fell to his death?"
After Gu Ruanci finished speaking, Zhou Yuxiu was stunned for a moment.
These words pierced his heart without a trace, making him feel pain even when breathing.
When he walked in casually in a daze, the servants wanted to remind him of something, but he scolded them. It turned out that they wanted to remind him of this.
"How could it be..." He couldn't believe it, and couldn't figure out what he didn't believe.
"Prince Zhou was just arguing with someone. Did you want to go upstairs to see where your brother fell? Then you should tell the waiter instead of making things difficult for the other guests."
Gu Ruanci's words were still cold and distant, without any warmth.
Zhou Yuxiu looked at Gu Ruanci and finally asked, "The Zhou family has become like this now. Is this what Mother wanted to see? What do you want in return for forgiving us?"
