Chapter 392: One vs. Three
Zhou Yuzhi's performance made Zhou Yuxiu even more certain that he was indeed involved in that incident.
"Brother...I..."
Zhou Yuzhi hesitated, not knowing how to explain.
"It's not me, it's Gu Ruanci..."
Zhou Yuxiu didn't respond and let him continue.
Anyway, Zhou Yuzhi is already panicking now, so it’s better to let him confess himself.
Seeing that his elder brother was indifferent, he was indeed confused.
"Brother, it's not like that... Really, you have to believe me."
Zhou Yuxiu still didn't say anything and continued to ask him to explain.
Zhou Yuzhi finally spoke out: "I wanted to make Wu Yixuan have a miscarriage, but she didn't drink the tea I gave her. She was too wary of me, so I had to use some powder and left quickly. But Gu Ruanci didn't know when to put a strong musk pill on me. I've been staying with you all the time, so my sister-in-law..."
After hearing this, Zhou Yuxiu closed his eyes.
This is probably God's will.
He was silent for a long time, as if thinking about how to respond.
Finally, he opened his eyes, revealing a hint of fatigue.
"Yuzhi, how could you become like this? You actually wanted to attack General Gu's wife?"
Zhou Yuzhi lowered his head, not daring to look his elder brother in the eye.
He knew that he had made an unforgivable mistake.
"Brother, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I just wanted Wu Yixian to have a miscarriage. I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
Zhou Yuxiu sighed and shook his head.
"Yuzhi, do you know that if you succeed, you will not only harm Wu Yixuan, but also yourself and our entire Zhou family. Do you think the Gu family will really let us go? Or do you think the Gu family does not have the strength to uproot our Zhou family?"
Zhou Yuzhi's body was trembling slightly, and he didn't know what to say.
He was indeed out of his mind at that time, and he has been afraid since he did that thing.
Fortunately, the medicine he put in the teacup will dissipate after a while and cannot be detected, otherwise it will definitely bring disaster to the Zhou family.
"Brother, I didn't think so much at the time. If I had thought about it, I wouldn't have done it. Now it's too late for me to regret it. I ended up hurting my sister-in-law..."
Zhou Yuxiu fell into silence again. He closed his eyes. The Zhou family really made his life very difficult.
"Rebellious son, it's actually you!"
At this time, Zhou Zhili's voice sounded from behind.
Both Zhou Yuxiu and his brother were stunned. They didn't expect that Zhou Zhili was not asleep either and happened to hear their conversation.
"Father……"
Zhou Yuzhi turned around and saw Zhou Zhili, who was so frightened and angry that he was standing there unsteadily.
Zhou Zhili walked up and slapped Zhou Yuzhi hard.
"You prodigal son, all of this happened because of you. Do you hate my Zhou family for not being destroyed?"
Zhou Yuzhi was hit so hard that his head tilted to the side. His face instantly became red and swollen, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He covered his face but didn't dare to refute.
He remembered the note. The accusations of burying his grandmother alive and killing his nephew were suffocating him.
Zhou Zhili was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Zhou Yuzhi and his voice changed tone: "Look at you, what have you done! Our Zhou family finally had some happy event, but because of you, it completely turned into a bad thing!"
Zhou Yuxiu helped Zhou Yuzhi and looked at Zhou Zhili calmly.
His tone was even more unexpected to Zhou Zhili: "Father, calm down first. It has already happened. We will find a way to solve it later."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhili became even angrier. As the father of that child, his eldest son could remain so calm, which only showed that he had never expected the child to be born.
He angrily said, "Zhou Yuxiu, do you want to listen to what you are saying? That's your child, the hope of our Zhou family!"
Zhou Yuxiu, however, seemed relieved and said, "Father, what hope is there for our Zhou family? As a son, I can't even erect a memorial tablet for Mother. Filial piety is the most important virtue, but Father has directly castrated our filial piety to our biological mother. My second brother has faithfully carried out Father's wishes. What hope is there for the Zhou family in the future?"
"What did you say?" Zhou Zhili became even angrier.
"If it weren't for this child, I wouldn't have this attitude now. Since he doesn't want to come to the Zhou family and face this dire situation, it's a good thing. We can resolve the problems within our Zhou family. Father, I still say the same thing. Do you acknowledge my mother?"
Zhou Zhili's face instantly turned pale. He hadn't expected Zhou Yuxiu to question him so directly about his mother. He pointed at Zhou Yuxiu with a trembling finger, speechless for a long time.
Zhou Yuzhi watched from the sidelines, feeling a mixture of emotions. He had always followed his father's wishes and never complained, but at this moment, he felt as if every word Zhou Yuxiu said hit him hard.
Zhou Zhili finally spoke, his voice trembling slightly. "You... you unfilial son, you're still so stubborn! I thought you'd figured it out, but you're still so stubborn! I know what's going on with your mother, and it's not your place to interfere!"
Zhou Yuxiu refused to back down. He looked Zhou Zhili in the eye and said, "Father, if that's the case, please appoint a new heir. I no longer want to be the heir of the Zhou family."
Zhou Zhili was speechless after hearing what Zhou Yuxiu said. He stared at his two sons with wide eyes, and suddenly felt so unfamiliar to himself.
Especially when Zhou Yuxiu threatened him with the position of crown prince, he really couldn't bear it.
"puff……"
He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.
Zhou Yuzhi was frightened. After a scream, he immediately woke up the servants and carried Zhou Zhili into the house.
When Ye Lanxin woke up and saw Zhou Zhili like this, she was stunned.
"What's wrong? Isn't everything fine?"
She was exhausted. The bad luck that had befallen the Zhou family these past few days seemed like a dark cloud hanging over their heads. It was too thick.
The Zhou brothers didn't have time to explain too much to him, as rescuing Zhou Zhili was their top priority.
Zhou Yuzhi's medical skills still came in handy at this time, but he already had a demon in his heart. After all, his grandmother and the child in Ye Lingyue's belly both died at his hands.
After he gave Zhou Zhili emergency treatment, he still sent someone to invite Zhang Songming.
"What's wrong? How is your father?" Ye Lanxin was also very worried.
After all, the Zhou family still relies on him for support. If something happens to him, Zhou Yuxiu will inherit the title. In the future, he will definitely not care about himself as much as he does now.
Zhou Yuzhi said worriedly, "Father is just anxious. Let's see when he wakes up. If he wakes up in time, everything will be fine..."
Ye Lanxin immediately asked, "What if he can't wake up for a while?"
