Chapter 400 Zhou Yuxiu is leaving the Zhou family
Ye Lanxin was confused and didn't know how to talk to him.
"you……"
She tried to organize her words for a long time, but couldn't say anything.
"From now on, I won't call you mother anymore. As for how you tell father, I don't care. Over the years, I forgot I had a mother and recognized the woman who took everything from her as my mother. I feel ashamed of myself."
Ye Lanxin knew that since Zhou Yuxiu said this, she had no hope at all.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, but her trembling voice still revealed her panic: "Zhou Yuxiu, do you know what you are saying? You are going to destroy the Ye family and yourself! I can pretend that I didn't hear about the problems between us. After all, I haven't done anything to offend you. But now the Zhou and Ye families are one, and you are already married. Are you still so willful?"
Zhou Yuxiu's eyes were firm and cold. "The Ye family? The Ye family that only considers its own interests and doesn't care about my mother's life or death? So what if it's ruined? Does the Ye family have any relatives of my mother? They've asked me to call them grandpa and grandma all these years, but do they really treat me as one of their own? Which of those two uncles hasn't bullied my mother? As for me, I was ruined a long time ago. From the moment my mother died, I was no longer that innocent child. Now, I just want to do what I think is right and seek justice for myself and my mother."
Ye Lanxin's whole body was numb, and she could feel Zhou Yuxiu's determination.
Even without being hysterical, what he said was still shocking.
Zhou Yuxiu turned around and ordered them to leave: "You'll have to take care of yourself, Madam Jing'an."
No matter what Ye Lanxin wanted to say, it was meaningless.
She walked out expressionlessly without accepting help from anyone.
Originally, she wanted to go directly to Zhou Zhili and ask him to teach her son a lesson.
But she was still afraid that Zhou Zhili's condition would worsen and the Zhou family would be in chaos.
After much thought, she went to find Zhou Yuzhi.
Zhou Yuzhi has been exhausted these past two days. Last night's conversation with his elder brother and his father made him feel guilty.
What worried him most was the content on the note.
He knew that the note must have been written by Gu Ruanci.
"Yuzhi, do you know that your elder brother is going to give up the throne?"
At this point, Ye Lanxin also realized the value of time and didn't want to beat around the bush with him.
After hearing this, Zhou Yuzhi's already irritable mood became even more chaotic.
"What? Big Brother said that again?"
Ye Lanxin caught the word "again".
"It seems like this isn't the first time he's said this... But this time he told your sister-in-law directly. I just went to see him, and he broke up with me, saying I was the one who took everything from your mother and that he would never call me mother again... I know I'm not worthy of his constant respect, but whether he becomes the Crown Prince or not can't be a matter of impulse. This already concerns both the Zhou and Ye families. I don't dare to provoke your father, so I had to come here to discuss this with you..."
When Ye Lanxin said this, her eyes were slightly red and her voice was choked with sobs.
Her condition made Zhou Yuzhi feel depressed.
The eldest brother is serious. He actually fell out with his mother?
"My sister-in-law hasn't been feeling well lately. She's already in the period of confinement after giving birth. If my brother keeps making such a fuss, I'm afraid she'll suffer from sequelae, and it might even be a question of whether she'll be able to have children in the future..."
"What? What should we do?" Ye Lanxin asked anxiously.
Zhou Yuzhi shook his head, his expression solemn: "I'm afraid our Zhou family is really going to be in chaos."
Ye Lanxin became even more anxious upon hearing this: "What should we do? Yuzhi, you must think of a solution. You can't let your eldest brother continue to be so willful."
What she was really worried about was that no one would support her daughter, and Zhou Qinzhu would be alone in the palace and be bullied in the future.
Zhou Yuzhi was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll go talk to my eldest brother. Mother, don't worry too much. We should keep it a secret from Father for now."
Ye Lanxin felt relieved after hearing this. She nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Yu Zhi."
After saying that, Ye Lanxin turned and left. Zhou Yuzhi watched her leave with mixed feelings. He knew that this matter was far more complicated than he had imagined.
He could feel that Ye Lanxin was actually under a lot of pressure now, but she just couldn't express it all.
He was also certain that his elder brother must have said a lot of unpleasant things, and he had heard a lot of them before.
When he rushed to Zhou Yuxiu's study, the other party was not surprised.
"You're here? Yeah, she can't find anyone else."
Zhou Yuxiu's nonchalant words made Zhou Yuzhi feel upset again.
"Brother, could you please stop making a fuss at this moment? Our Zhou family can't afford any more trouble. Can't you wait until Father recovers and then think it over carefully? Do you really have to sink your own grave?"
Zhou Yuxiu said nonchalantly, "When my mother left, did anyone consider her situation? Did anyone think about what she would do if she left the Zhou family and didn't return to the Ye family, taking her sister with her? She didn't even have any money back then. I was so cruel to my own mother when I was eleven years old, so why can't I be a little cruel to others now? What kind of responsibility do you expect from someone like me? If you want to take responsibility, why not just take over the throne as the prince?"
Zhou Yuzhi was choked by these words and was speechless for a long time. He looked at the extremely cold elder brother in front of him and felt a sense of strangeness.
"Brother, you have changed." Zhou Yuzhi finally couldn't help but whispered.
Zhou Yuxiu sneered upon hearing this, "Everyone changes. I made the wrong choice back then, leaving my mother disheartened. Over the years, I've been filial to my father, and even to that bitch from the Ye family. Now that I've come to my senses, of course I'll change. It's just that you don't want to change, even though you know you did make a mistake back then. In that case, I don't want the Zhou family anymore."
Zhou Yuzhi's face changed drastically. He didn't expect Zhou Yuxiu to say such a thing. It was as if the affection and tacit understanding between them as brothers over the years had vanished into nothingness at this moment.
"Brother, do you know what you are saying? How sad will father be if he hears you say this?" Zhou Yuzhi's voice trembled. He tried to impress Zhou Yuxiu with the father-son love.
However, Zhou Yuxiu just looked at him coldly. His eyes, which were once full of warmth, were now like ice, making people feel cold.
"Father? What right does he have to be sad? If he weren't shameless and ungrateful, how could he have hurt Mother to this extent? All of this is because of him. Mother married him when he was not favored, and gave birth to three sons in succession, completely changing his life and allowing him to inherit the title. But then he listened to Ye Lanxin, who had looked down on him in the past, and joined forces with her to force Mother away, causing her to die outside and leaving my sister wandering for ten years! Over the years, I have been filial to him. From now on, I will not care about him or the Zhou family. It's just that you are here, so please give this divorce letter to your sister-in-law. From now on, we will each live in peace and happiness..."
