Chapter 414 The Curse Comes True
The news that Zhou Yuzhi had come to his senses and killed all the young men and male members of the Ye family still spread despite the court's tolerance.
When Ye Keguan heard the news, the bodies of those people from the Ye family had just been brought back.
This time, the Zhou family would not help them with the funeral, and he, the only surviving man, would be responsible.
At the Zhou family's side, Zhou Zhili woke up and knew what had happened, but he was able to withstand the shock.
He already had some premonitions about what happened before. If the feelings of so many years could be fake, then what else couldn't be empty?
At this moment, he felt that life was like a dream. If he could fall back and make another choice, the ending would definitely be different.
Moreover, the deaths of those people from the Ye family did not cause any ripple in his heart at all.
He was very distressed because Zhou Yuzhi took poison but was left alive.
Zhou Yuzhi also left him a letter, saying that he was unfilial and had forgotten his mother in the past few years, but he had done everything he could for his father and Ye Lanxin. Now he wanted to go down and be filial to his mother. Even if she did not accept it, he had to try. He could not do such a thing as patricide, so the rest of his life depended on himself.
It is estimated that the Zhou family's title will be taken back this time. He only hopes that his father can sincerely repent after feeling what his mother felt back then. However, he selfishly left some silver for his father, which is enough for him to live the rest of his life.
As expected, the palace issued an order to revoke the Zhou family's title, confiscate their house, and seize their private property. However, no one touched the silver and money that Zhou Yuzhi left to Zhou Zhili.
The situation at the Ye family was completely different.
Pan, who was recuperating from illness, noticed the unusual support in the mansion. She struggled to get up and just saw the mourning hall that Ye Keguan was setting up with the support of his body.
When she saw that the tablets on the mourning hall were of her two sons, two daughters-in-law, and only grandson, she finally got so excited that she shouted "Retribution" and kicked her legs.
All of this turned out to be within Ye Keguan's expectations. He calmly had Pan cleaned and put her into the coffin that had been prepared long ago.
The old man sent away all the young people. Gu Ruanci’s curse was so cruel.
Although the Ye family still has Ye Lanxin and Ye Lingyue, all the male descendants have died. Even if Ye Lingyue has the opportunity to get married and have children in the future, I am afraid she will only cherish her life after the disaster.
Moreover, they couldn't hate Gu Ruanci at all. The last thing was done by Zhou Yuzhi. He did it to take revenge on Ye Lanxin and the Ye family. From the very beginning, it was Ye Lanxin who started it. This was indeed their retribution.
Ye Lingyue couldn't hide it after all. She cried so hard that the world was shaking. From today on, there was no longer a father and mother in this world. No one would indulge her without any bottom line and support her.
Princess Jincheng was also feeling very upset. When the Ye family was in decline, she had thought about letting her daughter divorce Ye Chi, but unfortunately her daughter didn't want to.
Now that her daughter and grandson are gone, she looks at Ye Keguan like that, and having experienced the loss of her husband, she can no longer utter any curse words.
The situation of the Zhou family and the Ye family is really sad.
At this moment, Ye Lanxin woke up from her madness.
She slipped into the mourning hall, and when she saw the tablets of all the members of the Ye family except her father and Ye Lingyue, she instantly came to her senses.
Especially when she saw her mother and Ye Qinzhu, she forced herself to wake up from one nightmare and experience another.
She grabbed the servants and asked them what had happened, why there were so many dead people in the Ye family, and what happened to them.
The servant did not dare to hide anything and told the truth.
After hearing this, Ye Lanxin's hair turned white overnight.
This kind of blow is really exhausting.
Ye Keguan did not try to persuade them. When that whole family was plotting against Ye Hesheng, he did not say a word, and now he has no right to speak up.
Ye Lanxin allowed herself to smash a lot of things, and then knelt in front of her mother's spirit like a zombie.
"Now that you're awake, cheer up and send them away first..."
There was no emotion in Ye Keguan's words.
The Ye family didn't have many servants to begin with, and they have been extremely busy these past few days.
Ye Lingyue's condition got even worse, and her confinement period was completely ruined.
By the time she realized something was wrong, the blood was already flowing out of her body.
Finally, after the doctor's rescue, her life was saved, but she will not be able to have children in the future...
This news made Ye Keguan close his eyes and didn't want to open them again.
God’s will, this is God’s will…
Nothing about these two families escaped Gu Ruanci's ears.
She ignored him, let alone suppressed him. At this moment, there would be no pleasure in kicking someone when they were down.
She did not feel empty in her heart because of the fate of these two families. After all, she still had a lot of things to do in her life, and her skills would always be useful. Revenge was just something she did casually.
In any case, the fate of these two families made Gu Yuxuan excited.
"The bad guys have finally been punished. With these two families as role models, who would still favor a concubine over their wife, or mistreat the children of their first wife..."
Gu Ruanci told him realistically, "It will happen. People's bad natures won't disappear just because of one or two things. At most, they'll subside for a while, but when they realize there's no more talk, they'll be even more active than before. My story teaches those who treat their first wife's children badly: you have to root them out, not just treat them well..."
After hearing this, Gu Yuxuan fell into confusion.
"Is there no way to stop them?"
"In fact, how a stepmother treats the children of the first wife depends on their own character, and even more on the man in the family. Everything my mother went through was because of Ye Keguan. If he had been a man, responsible, and capable of doing something, so many things wouldn't have happened."
Zhuang Hefeng deeply agreed with this statement.
"That's right. The person your mother hated the most back then wasn't the Ye family or the Zhou family, but her biological father."
"Now he can be considered to have died alone. Ye Lanxin is not the type to wait on others. After what Ye Lingyue has experienced, I am afraid he will be devastated and unable to recover. Instead, he needs his grandfather to help him. Fortunately, their family title is still there. Although it is only a viscount, it will not starve to death. Let Ye Keguan live in this pain and despair. This is what he deserves."
That day, at the posthouse, Jing Luoquan, who had long felt that something was amiss, felt an even stronger sense of foreboding.
He found Bailixi and said solemnly: "Third Prince, we may not be able to return to Yamato..."
