Chapter 350 The Second Prince Returns
When Zhou Yuxiu arrived at the Ye family, he already felt that the atmosphere was not right.
He had been apologizing since he entered the door, and everyone he met looked at him unpleasantly, but he didn't care.
He already knew what the Ye family was like, and his behavior at this moment was consistent with their image.
"Yu Xiu, even though the Ye family is now in decline, you shouldn't be so disrespectful to Ling Yue. Your mother is also from the Ye family. If you treat Ling Yue badly, you are looking down on the Ye family, understand?"
It was Pan who spoke up and told everyone to shut up.
Ye Keguan didn't want to take care of anything during this period. He didn't manage it well back then, so now he simply gave up.
"Yes, what Grandma said is..."
Zhou Yuxiu did not refute, nor did he have the impulsiveness he had when he argued with Zhou Zhili yesterday.
He knew that arguing at this point was pointless and would only make the atmosphere more awkward. He silently endured the Ye family's accusations, while thinking about how to quickly bring Ye Lingyue back and end this dispute.
He glanced at Ye Lingyue, who was sitting beside him in silence, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
He knew that all this was because of him, because his momentary impulse led to the current situation.
What happened back then could not be blamed on Ye Lingyue in any way, and he shouldn't have said those words to Ye Lingyue.
He took a deep breath, decided to humble himself, and apologized sincerely: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have done such a thing on impulse. Please forgive me, grandmother, and all the elders. I will definitely treat Lingyue well and never do it again."
Mrs. Pan looked at him, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.
She knew that Zhou Yuxiu was a smart man who knew how to make choices.
Moreover, Zhou Zhili had already come yesterday and showed them the Ye family's sincerity, so they didn't want to make things difficult for them.
Ye Lingyue looked at Zhou Yuxiu and felt relieved.
It was the right decision for me to cover up for him. If I had been outspoken and said everything, things would not have ended so smoothly.
He knew that what Zhou Yuxiu said yesterday was all due to impulse.
Looking at Zhou Yuxiu's expression, she knew that after returning this time, the relationship between her and Zhou Yuxiu would be different.
In the end, the Ye family did not keep them for lunch and asked them to go back quickly.
After watching their carriage leave, Ye Cheng sighed again and said to Qin Kerou, "Yu Xiu must have learned his lesson this time. He no longer has the same attitude as he did the first two times..."
Qin Kerou said, "After all, my sister is still there, and she's still very important to the men of the Zhou family. Now that our Ye family has fallen, we must make a comeback. I hope that with the help of Lingyue and Chengchu, we can bring the Ye family back to life... Master, I accept your proposal that day. Let's give the throne of the crown prince to Chengchu. My second brother and sister-in-law are both smart people. Sometimes I can't keep up, so I won't adopt any children and will train them myself..."
Ye Cheng nodded, feeling quite touched.
"Madam, I know that the sudden loss of your two sons must have been a huge blow to you, but we must always look forward..."
Qin Kerou smiled bitterly and said, "Now that Wen Zimei and her sister are gone, even if I want revenge, I don't know who to turn to. I feel empty inside."
Ye Cheng had no way to comfort her for the moment, after all, he himself felt uncomfortable.
Zhou Yuxiu and Ye Lingyue had a conversation on the way back.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry. I was emotionally unstable yesterday, which is why I said those words. What happened back then has nothing to do with you. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you..."
After Zhou Yuxiu finished speaking, Ye Lingyue felt a little more relaxed.
"After I returned yesterday, I didn't tell anyone about your proposal for divorce, whether at the Ye family or in front of my father and mother who arrived later. I know you were also suffering inside, and that you said it on impulse. But please don't say such things again in the future; it can easily hurt feelings."
Zhou Yuxiu was moved, and his sense of guilt increased.
"I understand, ma'am."
After they got home, they were busy again.
Zhou Yuzhi had already prepared everything, from the furnishings in the room to the tea and food, he had explained everything one by one.
However, when Zhou Yuxiu saw him, he would still avoid looking at him.
He felt a little embarrassed when he thought about the heated conversation between the two brothers last night.
Life at the Zhou family had returned to stability. What they didn't know now was that the second branch of the Marquis of Qingyang's Mansion, Ye Lanxin's former brother-in-law, also came with the Yamato delegation.
The Zhou family's trivial matters will not affect the trend of Dizhou City.
The Yamato delegation was still on the way, but the second prince Lu Enlian had already entered the city.
The task of escorting the Yamato delegation this time fell on Gu Yutang. Lu Enlian was also a gatekeeper and his identity was indeed a prince. The emperor did not want to give Yamato too much face, so he let him come back early.
It just so happens that he can also discuss the wedding date between him and Wen Haiyue with the Queen.
Wen Haiyue went to the Gu family specifically to visit Wu Yixuan and Gu Ruanci.
"Sister Yixian, soft words, I'm suddenly preparing for my wedding, why am I so nervous? I'm even more nervous than when I first learned about the arranged marriage..."
Wen Haiyue has always been outspoken, so what he expresses is indeed his true emotions.
Wu Yixuan chuckled softly and comforted her, "Haiyue, I've been in your situation before. I was actually more nervous before I got married than when we were first engaged. My marriage was agreed upon by both families, so I was mentally prepared and found it easier to accept than yours. Your situation is really different. But don't worry, the Second Prince is a very good person and will treat you well. It just so happens that you also like to wield swords and guns, so your personalities are compatible."
Gu Ruanci also echoed: "Yes, Sister Haiyue, getting married is a good thing, you should be happy."
Wen Haiyue nodded. Although she was still nervous, she felt a lot more relieved with the comfort of her sisters.
"By the way, Sister Yixian, Ruanci, do you think we can still meet often after I get married?" Wen Haiyue suddenly asked.
Wu Yixuan thought for a moment and said, "I think so. After you get married, even though you'll be the Crown Princess, the Second Prince will be stationed at the border and probably won't take you with him. If you stay in Dizhou, we can often get together for tea and shopping."
Gu Ruanci saw through Wen Haiyue's thoughts and asked, "Sister Haiyue, do you want to go with the Second Prince?"
Wen Haiyue was slightly startled, then nodded, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes: "I really want to go with him. Don't they say that the husband sings and the wife follows? Besides, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. In fact, what I yearn for most is the border. I want to see the country's territory and experience the outside world..."
Wu Yixuan frowned slightly upon hearing this, and said with some concern: "Haiyue, the conditions at the border are harsh. Although you have practiced martial arts since childhood, you have never experienced such hardship..."
Wen Haiyue said, "Don't the soldiers at the border always endure this kind of hardship? I can endure it too. The Second Prince is the legitimate son of the Emperor and Empress, and he can endure this hardship as well. If I marry him, I don't want to lose to anyone..."
