Chapter 390 Try yelling at my daughter again
When he saw Gu Ruanci appear, an idea flashed through Zhou Yuzhi's mind, but he was not sure.
His eyes widened and his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no sound came out.
He was filled with doubts and fears, unsure whether Gu Ruanci's appearance was a coincidence or intentional.
Gu Ruanci just stood there quietly, with a deep gaze, as if he could see into people's hearts.
Zhou Yuzhi was in a panic. He didn't know what to do next. He could only stand there blankly and let fate take its course.
When Zang Jizhi saw Gu Ruanci, he walked over calmly.
"Junior Sister, you're here too?"
Zhang Songming raised his head immediately when he heard his name.
"Little Medical Fairy, look..."
Gu Ruanci refused without a second thought: "Don't tell me anything. The Zhou family's affairs have nothing to do with me. If I get involved, the responsibility for not saving the child will fall on me. I can't accept that..."
There was an unquestionable determination in her words, which stunned everyone present.
Zhou Yuzhi was even more panicked. He didn't expect Gu Ruanci to refuse so directly and even completely shirk any possible responsibility in advance.
Zang Jizhi, however, remained calm. He had long thought about his junior sister's attitude, and this was what the Zhou family deserved.
He didn't take any action just now, he was just taking the pulse. He didn't want to get involved with the Zhou family.
Zhang Songming was stunned. He had originally hoped that Gu Ruanci could help him, but now it seemed that this hope had been shattered.
"You are a Little Medical Immortal after all, you should let go of your prejudice..."
Gu Ruanci said, "Doctor Zhang should just control himself and not always ask others for help."
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and everyone was silent, seemingly thinking about their next move.
Seeing this, Gu Ruanci knew that it was not suitable for her to stay any longer, so she said directly: "You guys can handle it yourselves, I'm leaving first." After that, she turned and left, leaving behind a chic back.
Zhou Yuzhi looked at the direction where Gu Ruanci left, wondering if she would stop if he shouted, and whether his sister-in-law could still be saved?
After all, Gu Ruanci has so many medicines, and they are all very expensive.
Before she could even utter a word, Zhou Zhili called out, "Gu Ruanci, are you just going to leave like this? Are you really going to watch someone die without helping?"
Gu Ruanci paused, turned around and looked at him, and asked, "Marquis Jing'an, don't you understand what I'm saying? Imperial Doctor Zhang and my senior brother have already said that the baby has been aborted. Why do you want me to save it? The little cub belonging to your Zhou family is already dead, not dying. Why do you want me to save it? Are you so anxious to put the responsibility of losing this child on me? What? Have you had enough of being in the wrong here before, and you want to gain the upper hand? You think too much. If the Zhou family has another child in the future, you should first think about your sins and whether you can let the child be born safely and grow up healthily."
Zhou Zhili was choked by Gu Runci's words and his face turned red. He didn't expect Gu Runci to refute him so sharply in the palace. He was speechless for a moment.
Everyone present was shocked by this conversation and fell into silence. They didn't think it was Gu Ruanci's fault, but instead thought Zhou Zhili was sick.
Zang Jizhi sighed softly. He knew the Zhou family's style of doing things very well and understood Gu Ruanci's position.
Zhang Songming walked forward, gently patted Zhou Yuzhi's shoulder, and comforted him, "Yuzhi, don't be too sad. Things have come to this, and we still have to look forward."
Zhou Yuzhi nodded slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. He knew that at this time, only his master was willing to give him some comfort.
Zhang Songming also understood that the grievances and hatreds involved were far beyond his ability to interfere.
The atmosphere fell into silence again. Everyone had their own thoughts and didn't know how to break the awkward situation.
The commotion here finally alarmed the emperor and the empress. They were very angry when they heard the news, and even more so, they felt it was bad luck.
Both sons were very happy today, but then something like this happened in the Zhou family.
Fortunately, the emperor is a benevolent monarch, otherwise the entire Zhou family would be exiled based on this crime.
"Everyone in the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion must leave the palace immediately and reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors. You are not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned. The Marquis of Jing'an will be fined three months' salary and will not be allowed to attend court."
The eunuch announced the emperor's oral order. Zhou Zhili swayed a few times before he finally managed to steady himself.
He knew very well how much trouble this farce had caused the royal family, and he also understood that the emperor's magnanimity was a great blessing.
Gu Ruanci snorted coldly and looked at Zhou Zhili without any sympathy.
Gu Congyun, who hurried over after hearing that the Zhou family was making trouble again, glared at Zhou Zhili.
"It was your son who got beaten up two days ago, and I think you're just itching for trouble. There's not a single good person in your family. You're a filthy den of thieves and whores, a bunch of ungrateful bastards. You can't even muster a single kind heart, and you're even trying to force my daughter to take the blame for your family. I think you've lived too long and have too many teeth in your mouth. If you dare to mess with my daughter again, I'll beat you to death!"
Zhou Zhili was so shocked that he didn't dare to say anything back and could only stare blankly.
Ye Lanxin originally wanted to say something, but Gu Congyun did not let her go just because she was a woman.
"You too, shut up! You dare to talk to me without even considering your own worth? If my wife knew I was talking to a slut like you, who would attract flies even if she died a thousand times, and she despised me, would you be able to bear the responsibility?"
Ye Lanxin was so embarrassed that her face turned red. It was too humiliating to be so embarrassed in public.
Zhou Yuxiu seemed to have lost his soul. He didn't know what was wrong with him, or even what he was thinking. In short, he just wanted to escape.
If Ye Lingyue beside him had not been too weak, I'm afraid he would have abandoned these people and left.
Zhou Yuzhi supported his father and walked out of the palace step by step. Each step seemed particularly heavy.
The other guests also said their goodbyes one after another, and this wedding banquet, which was supposed to be joyous and lively, ended in an unhappy way.
After returning to the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, Zhou Zhili locked himself in the study and never came out.
Zhou Yuzhi stood outside the study door, listening to the sighs coming from inside, and felt extremely tormented.
As night fell, Zhou Zhili finally opened the door of the study, his face full of fatigue.
"Yuzhi, your father is tired, you should rest early too."
Zhou Yuzhi nodded silently and turned back to his yard.
He must have been unable to sleep, and when the night crept into his room, a note appeared along with a feather arrow.
He was startled, but still took the note. When he unfolded it, he was filled with despair.
