Chapter 391 Who is Your Mother?
"Doesn't it feel more fulfilling to kill your own nephew than to bury your grandmother alive?"
The words on the note almost broke his heart.
He opened the window like a madman and looked carefully outside for any suspicious places.
He wanted to shout out who was outside, but he lost his courage.
Whenever he thought of the words on the note, he felt ashamed.
If the Zhou family knew that Ye Lingyue’s miscarriage was related to him, how would they treat him?
He couldn't imagine what kind of storm that would be.
Zhou Yuzhi's hands were tightly gripping the window frame, almost crushing the wood.
He held the note in his hand, but eventually crumpled it into a ball and threw it aside.
He knew that it would be impossible to find the person behind this handwriting.
He closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down, convincing himself that someone must be deliberately messing with his mind and he must not be fooled.
The more he closed his eyes, the more he thought of the pain his grandmother felt before she died, and the shocking redness of his sister-in-law's miscarriage...
He rubbed his face randomly, almost collapsing. He didn't know how to face all this.
The night gradually deepened, but he couldn't fall asleep. He kept pacing back and forth in the room, his nervous mood not allowing him a moment of peace.
He was not the only one who didn't sleep that night.
Zhou Yuxiu sighed several times as he looked at Ye Lingyue, who had fallen asleep weakly due to excessive grief.
He sat by the window in the moonlight, feeling mixed emotions.
The resolution I had made with great difficulty to live a good life for the sake of my children now seems like a joke.
Although he had no evidence, he always felt that this matter must be related to Gu Ruanci.
However, she will not take the initiative.
He recalled the situation over and over again. Zhou Yuzhi looked uneasy when he came back, and his expression when the accident happened later made people even more suspicious.
It's not that he doesn't trust his brother, but that he knows him too well.
After confirming that Ye Lingyue was asleep, he still walked out carefully.
Wandering around the courtyard late at night without sleeping, Zhou Yuxiu felt that he was sick too.
The little life that was connected to me disappeared.
That strange feeling made him feel extremely depressed and painful.
He walked out aimlessly alone and met Zhou Yuzhi who also came out because he couldn't sleep.
“Brother…”
When he saw Zhou Yuxiu, a flash of guilt appeared in Zhou Yuzhi's eyes.
It was just night, and even with the bright moonlight, there was no way to tell.
"Why did you come out too? Can't you sleep?" Zhou Yuxiu asked almost instinctively, without having to think at all.
"Yeah, how could I possibly sleep when something like this happened at home?"
After hearing Zhou Yuzhi's answer, Zhou Yuxiu simply said, "I don't blame you. After all, your master tried, but it was to no avail. Furthermore, the treatment was timely. We were not meant to be with this child. You don't need to blame yourself... I'm the one who should be blaming myself. If I hadn't protected your sister-in-law, we shouldn't have entered the palace..."
Zhou Yuzhi's eyes reddened slightly when he heard this. He lowered his head and whispered, "Brother, don't say that. This is fate, and none of us can predict it. But I really want to save that child. He is the bloodline of our Zhou family, and I really don't want him to be in any danger..."
Zhou Yuxiu patted Zhou Yuzhi on the shoulder and comforted him, "I know, we all know. But it's already happened. The only thing we can do is accept reality and take good care of your sister-in-law so that she can get over the pain of losing her child as soon as possible. As for you, don't be too sad. I believe that both your master and you have done your best. Your master also said that we still have a chance to have another child."
Zhou Yuzhi nodded. Although his heart was still filled with guilt and sadness, he still didn't dare to admit that it was his fault.
Zhou Yuxiu was actually having a psychological struggle with himself. He didn't dare to ask whether this matter was related to his younger brother.
The two of them walked side by side in the courtyard, each with their own thoughts. The night breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but it also made them much more sober.
"People from the Ye family will be here tomorrow. Are you ready for how to deal with them, brother?" Zhou Yuzhi suddenly asked.
"We'll deal with it however we have to. They won't kill me. Your sister-in-law had a miscarriage, and the Ye family shouldn't be blaming her. Instead, they should be concerned about how our Zhou family treats her..."
After Zhou Yuxiu finished speaking, his expression was somewhat intriguing.
"Brother, what are you doing..."
Zhou Yuzhi looked at Zhou Yuxiu in surprise. Under the moonlight, he still couldn't see the other person's expression clearly.
The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back. He seemed to realize something, but he was not sure.
"Brother, do you have any plans?" Zhou Yuzhi asked tentatively.
Before, the eldest brother did have some extreme thoughts, but they had been suppressed because of this child. Now that the child is gone, has the eldest brother picked them up again?
Zhou Yuxiu did not answer directly, but stopped and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.
"The Ye family is no longer the Ye family of the past, and no matter how unpopular our Zhou family is, we are still marquises. If they rely on seniority and family affection to make trouble, I may not always give them face...Haven't you learned your lesson from the previous incident? I know what to do about this matter, so you don't need to worry too much." There was a hint of unquestionable firmness in his tone.
Zhou Yuzhi felt even more nervous when he heard this.
My mistake this time not only caused my sister-in-law to lose her child, but also completely ruined the relationship between the two families?
"Brother, after all, the Ye family is our maternal family. My mother's uncle is the most important. One of those two uncles is now your father-in-law. So we shouldn't talk about status, right?"
Zhou Yuzhi reminded him with an anxious expression.
However, Zhou Yuxiu had long been skeptical of this statement.
Ever since he realized his guilt towards Ye Hesheng, his attitude towards the Ye family has changed.
The so-called maternal grandparents were also the ones who hurt my mother.
If it weren't for them, my mother wouldn't have had to marry a bastard like my father, and she wouldn't have had to choose to give in when faced with Ye Lanxin's provocation.
"My mother's uncle is the eldest. Then who is your mother?" Zhou Yuxiu asked very seriously.
Zhou Yuzhi was completely stunned and looked at Zhou Yuxiu with wide eyes.
"Brother, what did you just say?"
Zhou Yuxiu repeated, "What's wrong? Don't you understand what I'm saying? Don't you know who gave birth to you?"
"Brother, why are you still emphasizing this? What exactly do you want to do?"
Zhou Yuxiu said seriously, "Do I need to emphasize this? If you don't acknowledge your biological mother, our brotherhood will end today. Zhou Yuzhi, I'm serious. You know better than me how your sister-in-law miscarried."
Zhou Yuzhi widened his eyes, big brother knows!
