Chapter 410 Endless Regret
In the end, Zhou Yuzhi did not listen to Zhou Zhili and went to Gu's house to find Gu Ruanci.
This time, Gu Ruanci did not refuse to meet him, but she did not let him in either. She just met him at the door.
The three older brothers and one younger brother of the Gu family all follow Gu Ruanci.
This situation made Zhou Yuzhi feel sad.
This is their biological sister, their only biological sister, but because of Ye Lanxin and Zhou Qinzhu, she is now at odds with them.
"I haven't congratulated the Second Young Master on his succession to the throne yet, but I didn't expect him to come to my house on his own. However, considering our relationship, you wouldn't find it strange that I didn't prepare a gift for you, right?"
Gu Ruanci looked at the hesitant Zhou Yuzhi below and spoke directly.
Zhou Yuzhi felt even more upset. He said, "Little sister, I know I was wrong. Now my father has had a stroke and has difficulty speaking. My eldest brother has become a Taoist monk. My third brother is dead. My grandmother is also dead. The Zhou family has received enough retribution. Can't you let go of your anger? Ye Lanxin, the one you hated the most, was divorced by my father and I heard she has gone crazy. Zhou Qinzhu is also dead. The Zhou family is clean. Come back... Everything in the Zhou family is yours..."
Gu Ruanci felt nauseous after hearing his unrealistic words.
"Your Zhou family deserves the retribution they've received. It has nothing to do with me. You're thinking too much and wishful thinking when you try to elicit my sympathy with the Zhou family's experiences. On the first day I returned to Imperial State, I went to the Zhou family's gate, and it was you who stopped me from entering. I said then that once I left, I would never set foot in the Zhou family's gate again. Have you forgotten?"
Zhou Yuzhi was suddenly struck by lightning. His memory, which was already fuzzy, was hung up again.
That time, blocking Gu Ruanci from entering the house not only killed my grandmother, but also led to everything that happened afterwards.
The Zhou family and Gu Ruanci have completely severed their relationship.
Now, he is the only one left in the Zhou family. This is really ironic.
Zhou Yuzhi's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice, "Little sister, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have stopped you back then. All these years, I was blinded by Ye Lanxin and Zhou Qinzhu. I misunderstood mother and you, which is why I did irrational things. I paid the price for it. Can't you give me another chance since we were born from the same mother?"
Gu Ruanci looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Zhou Yuzhi, you have completely inherited Zhou Zhili's selfishness. Ye Lanxin and her daughter are certainly wrong in these things, and they deserve to die, but aren't the men in your Zhou family the real culprits? If Zhou Zhili had been upright and responsible to his mother, even if he was grateful for her kindness, he should not have done anything to let her down. But he took that step, and from that moment on, he was no longer worthy of being my father. As for the three of you brothers, no matter how Ye Lanxin instigated you, you read so many books and were enlightened by filial piety, but you forgot that you should pay the most attention to your biological mother. But you didn't, and you colluded with Ye Lanxin and her daughter to force your mother away. Now you say you know you are wrong, but you put all the blame on Ye Lanxin and her daughter, and you are still so irresponsible. I will not give you any chance, you don't deserve it."
Gu Yuxuan really couldn't help but wonder why his sister was so polite today?
He spoke directly, "You bastard from the Zhou family, are you sick? When my sister came to the Gu family, you were so sarcastic, trying to oppose her no matter what she did, calling her the eldest princess and the Mingyue County Master. Now that you've discovered that my sister hasn't failed, your Zhou family is no longer viable. Even that Zhou Qinzhu isn't your father's child, yet you're rushing to ask my sister for forgiveness. Have you been in a trance these past few days and eaten some Ren Zhong Huang? Shameless things, still scheming. You Zhou family have been scheming for so many years, and what have you gained in the end?"
Zhou Yuzhi was dazed by his scolding. What had he gained? What had he lost? He had lost his grandmother, his third brother, his father's trust, his eldest brother's support, and even his only sister, who was a sworn enemy of him. And all he had left was nothing.
Gu Yuxuan was very satisfied with what he said and wanted to say something else, but Gu Ruanci didn't want to waste time talking to Zhou Yuzhi anymore.
"There is no connection between us anymore. Don't come here again."
Zhou Yuzhi finally said something he thought might still have an effect: "If you won't give me this chance, I will die in front of the Gu family's gate!"
The four brothers around Gu Ruanci stepped forward at the same time and blocked Gu Ruanci behind them.
Gu Yulou said, "Sister, don't look at it, it's dirty."
Zhou Yuzhi collapsed instantly. Dirty?
Gu Ruanci didn't care, but said, "You really deserve to die. Even if you die in front of our Gu family's gate, it's just atonement. Don't think I don't know what you gave my sister-in-law to drink that day."
Zhou Yuzhi was speechless for a moment. He remembered what he had done that day, and at the same time, he became more certain that the person who passed the note must be Gu Ruanci.
"You've already won..."
"You don't need to tell me this. After all, I have the ability."
After Gu Ruanci finished speaking, she finally stopped paying attention to him and turned around and left.
Zhou Yuzhi did not step forward to persuade him to stay, because the four brothers of the Gu family were blocking the way and there was no way for him to get through.
He stumbled away, not knowing where to go.
When he appeared in Xuan Di Temple, the Taoists here already knew what he was there for.
"I want to see my elder brother..." He felt weak all over and his eyes were empty.
"I'm sorry, Zixu has something to say. If anyone from the Zhou family comes, he won't see them. His earthly ties are over. For the rest of his life, he will only repent and atone for his sins before his mother's tablet and help her accumulate merit. Other matters have nothing to do with him anymore."
The other Taoist priests in the temple spoke to him politely. Anyway, Zhou Yuzhi had no idea whether the person in front of him was cursing him in his heart.
Zhou Yuzhi gave a wry smile: "Haha, he knows how to be quiet and peaceful, hiding away from the mundane world. Everything has nothing to do with him anymore. Does that mean it still has something to do with me?"
The Taoist priest did not answer his question.
"Interesting, really interesting. Doesn't he just want to make it up to Mom? I would do the same, I would do the same..."
When he turned to leave, he was a little staggering even though he hadn't drunk any alcohol.
After he left, the Taoist priest went to the house where Ye Hesheng and her biological mother were enshrined.
"Zixu, he's gone."
Zhou Yuzheng, who had let go of everything, was praying there, kneeling in front of the tablet.
"Thank you..."
He didn't even turn his head. The Zhou family's affairs really had nothing to do with him.
He knew in his heart that the fact that he was able to enter here and pay his respects to the tablets of his mother and grandmother was a sign that Gu Ruanci had accepted him, even though there was no longer any brother-sister relationship between them.
As for what will happen to the Zhou and Ye families, we will leave it to God.
