Chapter 367 Zhou Yuzhi Could Actually Die
Lu Wenxue naturally knew that what her brother said was true, but she still felt unwilling to accept it.
She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms, but she still tried hard to control her emotions and not let her resentment and anger show completely.
"Brother, I understand what you mean. I won't act impulsively. It's just that when I think of Gu Ruanci's smug look, I..." Lu Wenxue's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that her emotions had not yet completely calmed down.
Lu Ennan gently patted the back of her hand, his eyes full of pity: "I know, I know everything. But you must remember, a gentleman's revenge is never too late. What we need now is patience and waiting for the best opportunity. Also, we do need to be cautious with the eldest princess. She has a deep mind and we must be on guard."
Lu Wenxue nodded. Although she still felt unwilling, she also understood that impulsiveness at this moment would only bring greater trouble to herself and her brother. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Brother, don't worry, I won't do anything rash. I will wait patiently for the opportunity for us to avenge our previous shame." There was a determined light flashing in Lu Wenxue's eyes, which was the expectation for the future and the desire for revenge.
Worried that his sister wasn't completely resolute, Lu Ennan added, "Just look at how our father treats us now. We're already insignificant. If we really become pawns because of the eldest princess's instigation, we'll be expelled from the palace. Have you ever thought about what we'd be like without the palace?"
Lu Wenxue wanted to cry: "Brother, I miss mother..."
This sentence directly touched Lu Ennan. Thinking of Concubine Wen, they hated Gu Ruanci even more.
On the Zhou family's side, Zhou Yuxiu and Zhou Yuzhi did not notice Xue Chenglun's eyes, because Zhou Yuxiu and Zhou Yuzhi had another disagreement.
When Bailixi proposed to Gu Runci before, Zhou Yuxiu also wanted to stand up and curse. Even if Gu Runci did not recognize him as her brother, it did not mean that her grandson Yamato could insult his sister like this.
However, Zhou Yuzhi stopped him and asked him what he wanted to do.
"Of course I'm scolding that so-called Third Prince. He's so shameless! He doesn't even take a piss to reflect on his own behavior, but he wants to marry someone soft-spoken."
As a result, Gu Yuxuan had already stood up at this time, and he scolded Bailixi so confidently that he had no chance to reply.
"Brother, you see, they don't need our help, and they might even think that we, the Zhou family, are meddling in their affairs..." Zhou Yuzhi added.
Zhou Yuxiu felt even more uncomfortable when he saw Gu Yuxuan talking so eloquently and Gu Ruanci sitting next to him with a satisfied smile on her face.
After talking with Gu Ruanci that day, he knew that he would never be able to have this sister again.
But his mother is already dead, and if he wants to make up for his mistake, he can only be nice to Gu Ruanci.
"Stop talking."
He was in a bad mood and didn't want to pay attention to Zhou Yuzhi.
Finally, Zhou Yuzhi said, "But it's not bad to let her marry to Yamato. Otherwise, what will happen to Qinzhu? If the Third Prince really wants to marry Qinzhu to Yamato, she won't be able to bear it..."
Zhou Qinzhu, who was standing next to him, had just felt uncomfortable because of Xue Chenglun's gaze, but she immediately became happy when she heard these words.
When Zhou Yuxiu heard what Zhou Yuzhi had just said, he became angry again.
"Did you just say something sensible? Why should I sacrifice Ruanci? I understand that you don't want Qinzhu to marry over there, but how dare you say that Ruanci should marry over there? Don't you know what Yamato is?"
Seeing his elder brother angry, Zhou Yuzhi lost his nonchalant attitude and asked seriously, "Brother, wasn't it the Third Prince of Yamato who took the initiative to ask for Gu Ruanci's hand in marriage? He's already specifically asking for the Little Medical Fairy. Isn't she capable? So why not save herself?"
This sentence angered Zhou Yuxiu, and he cursed directly: "Zhou Yuzhi, are you a beast?"
Zhou Yuzhi was scolded to the point of bloodshed, but he refused to back down, still stiffening his neck and saying, "Am I wrong? Since she has the ability, she should find a way to save herself. Does she want our Zhou family to sacrifice for her? Is it Gu Ruanci that the Third Prince is seeking to marry? Does this have anything to do with our Zhou family? Did I interfere? Big brother, you want Qinzhu to replace Gu Ruanci to satisfy you. I'm not a beast, am I?"
Zhou Yuxiu's face turned livid with anger. When had he ever said that? Was this what made him angry?
"You," he pointed at Zhou Yuzhi, his fingers trembling slightly, "you are simply hopeless! Ruanci is our sister after all, how could you say such a thing? You know what the customs are like in Yamato, and what Ruanci would encounter if she married there! Even if Ruanci refuses to recognize us because of what happened back then, why can't we forgive her when we did something wrong? When did I say that Qinzhu should replace Ruanci? Do they have to go? Don't we in Dayao have the confidence to refuse the marriage?"
Zhou Yuzhi, however, didn't take it seriously. He sneered, "Brother, why are you so excited? I'm just telling you the truth. Besides, Gu Ruanci isn't necessarily a weak woman. Isn't she a skilled doctor, known as the Little Medical Goddess? She can also play the zither, so she's called the Qin Ji. How do you know she doesn't have another identity?"
Zhou Yuxiu was furious. He raised his hand, wanting to teach Zhou Yuzhi a lesson.
"You two evil bastards, have you had enough of this?" Zhou Zhili really couldn't help it. No matter how low his two sons had lowered their voices, he was right next to them, so how could he not hear them?
Ye Lingyue looked at Zhou Yuxiu worriedly and gently put her arm around his.
"Husband, there are so many people watching, please be mindful of the situation."
"Hmph..." Zhou Yuzhi has been feeling a little uncomfortable lately because of his capricious elder brother.
He felt that Zhou Yuxiu was very strange during this period, repeating himself over and over again, like a little child.
Zhou Yuxiu looked at Zhou Yuzhi's face and felt disappointed.
He suppressed his anger and said coldly, "Zhou Yuzhi, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will be rude to you."
When Zhou Yuzhi heard this, he was about to say something in rebuttal, but seeing Zhou Zhili's expression, he dared not say anything and could only shut his mouth in indignation.
At the Zhou family's side, the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment, and no one spoke again.
Even though Gu Yuxuan's words just now made all the officials laugh, this emotion did not move the Zhou family at all.
Ye Lanxin was in a complicated mood at this moment. The children close to her were now fighting among themselves, all for the sake of soft words. The situation of her and her daughter had changed, especially with her sister-in-law restored to the throne. The Third Prince was still the one who could not be shaken. What they had done before had consumed his feelings for her daughter. If her daughter really married into the family in the future, she was afraid that it would be difficult...
What made her most uncomfortable was actually the looks from Xue Chenglun and Liu across from her...
