Chapter 86: I am not worthy of being a human being if I don't teach my children well
When Zhou Zhili woke up, it was already night.
"My Lord, you are finally awake..."
With tears on her face, Ye Lanxin rushed forward.
Zhou Yuzhi, who woke up first, was also full of self-blame. All this was caused by him being deceived.
"Father, how are you feeling?"
Zhou Zhili slowed down and recalled what happened before he fell into a coma.
"Mother..."
Thinking of being buried alive, he felt uncomfortable again.
"My Lord, my mother-in-law has passed away. No one can change it. This is God's will."
Ye Lanxin's words already contained a hint.
Zhou Yuxiu also said: "That's right, we saw grandma take her last breath with our own eyes, and it was considered as her final farewell. Now that her children and grandchildren are here, grandma has no regrets."
Zhou Zhili understood what they meant, but it was not so easy to get over this hurdle in his heart.
"You guys go down first."
Ye Lanxin took the medicine handed to her by the servant and began to clear the area.
"My Lord, things have come to this. We have to accept it no matter how much we hate it. The person who provided the fake medicine to Yu Zhi is dead, but the person who caused all this is still alive. If no one had interfered at the time, the Little Medical Fairy would have cured my mother-in-law's illness long ago..."
Her words awakened Zhou Zhili, and his confused and regretful eyes instantly turned cold-blooded.
"That's right, it's all that rebellious girl's fault... If she hadn't appeared, so many things wouldn't have happened in our Jing'an Marquis Mansion, and Mother wouldn't have died!"
Ye Lanxin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, hatred could still cheer Zhou Zhili up. Otherwise, if he continued to be devastated, who would the Marquis' Mansion rely on in the future?
"Father, we will remember this hatred and make Gu Ruanci pay the price in the future!"
Zhou Yuqi said this while gnashing his teeth, his eyes particularly determined.
Zhou Zhili learned more about what happened after he fell into a coma. He found out that Zang Jizhi had come and said those words, and he felt uncomfortable again.
"Even Yu Zhi's chance was ruined by her. She is the jinx of our Zhou family!"
Zhou Zhili pounded the bed fiercely, and the feeling of excruciating pain he had just felt was finally completely replaced by hatred.
"From today on, stop imagining that she is your sister. I will never give her any chance to re-enter our Zhou family. She is your enemy and the murderer who killed your grandmother!"
Zhou Zhili became emotional again, wishing he could rush to the Shouguo Mansion and strangle Gu Ruanci to death.
"I understand, Father."
Zhou Yuqi was the first to respond. When Ye Hesheng took Gu Ruanci away, she was only eight years old, so she was the least affected.
Among these children, Madam Zhang doted on him the most, so he easily accepted the idea of avenging his grandmother.
Zhou Yuxiu and Zhou Yuzhi also had something on their minds, so they agreed one after another.
"Don't let your aunt know about this..."
Ye Lanxin reminded him that if Wen Zimei knew about this, it would always be a handle for him.
"I understand, Mother..."
After the funeral, Wen Zimei returned to her secluded life as before and handed all the power back to Ye Lanxin.
"During this month of mourning, don't let anything happen to you. Don't give Gu Ruanci any chance."
Zhou Zhili also said that in his heart, Gu Runci had already disregarded family affection and would definitely attack them without mercy.
Rumors in Dizhou City always spread quickly. Some people are already speculating whether the victim of the fake medicine provided by that person is Madam Zhang.
After all, when she miraculously recovered, the Zhou family flaunted it for a whole day, fearing that others would not know about their happy event.
The rumors on the street had changed into countless versions before reaching the Zhou family. In short, Zhou Zhili became even more furious after hearing them.
"Father, what should we do?" Zhou Yuxiu asked.
If such rumors are allowed to spread, political enemies in the court will always use them to attack them.
"We can't admit it. Even if we emphasize that what we have in our hands is the real funeral powder and that your grandmother didn't feel any pain when she passed away, we absolutely cannot admit it."
After analyzing it, Zhou Zhili gave the only answer.
"After getting the medicine from that person, my second brother checked it and found that some of the herbs might not be suitable, so he removed them privately. So, grandma didn't suffer any pain all over her body, and it wasn't fake death. Isn't that okay?"
Zhou Yuqi felt that there was more than one way to solve this problem.
Zhou Yuxiu also said: "Or, we can say that this medicine was given by the Little Medical Immortal, it is the real thing, and we did not get anything from the person who sold fake medicine."
Zhou Yuzhi didn't say anything. He analyzed the answers of his eldest and third brothers, and finally understood what his father had just said. It would be better not to admit anything from the beginning.
"No, Third Brother, what should I do if they ask me to publicly reveal what ingredients I've modified, or even tell me what's in the herbs?"
Zhou Yuzhi's question made Zhou Yuqi realize that he had indeed given too little thought.
Afterwards, Zhou Yuzhi said to Zhou Yuxiu, "Brother, we've already used the Little Medical Fairy's name to build momentum, but what were the consequences? This is even more risky. If people find out that the Little Medical Fairy never gave me this medicine, the damage to our reputation wouldn't be a big deal. We'd be indirectly admitting to using fake medicine, causing Grandmother's painful death..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yuxiu had already realized it.
"Indeed, I can only refuse to say anything from the beginning..."
They had just reached a consensus when another servant came to report that something had happened with Madam Zhang again.
"What's wrong again?" Zhou Zhili was like a frightened bird at this moment.
The servant stammered, "My Lord, someone has splashed ink on the old lady's tombstone. There's something written on it: 'If you can't raise your children well, you're unworthy of being a human being.' Please go and take a look..."
Zhou Yuzhi felt his vision go dark again. The only person he could think of who would do such a thing was Gu Ruanci.
"Rebellious girl, rebellious girl!"
He slammed his hands on the table, not caring even though his palms were red.
At this time, Gu Ruanci was leisurely listening to the storyteller telling legends in the teahouse and listening to the cheers of the people below, feeling very happy.
"Soft words, the old lady over there has gone, I'm afraid the Zhou family will put this account on you."
Wu Yixuan, who came with her, had already seen through all these things, the Zhou family's personalities, and their attitude towards Gu Runci.
"Forget it, otherwise they will not be able to accept the truth about the old lady's death." Gu Ruanci didn't care.
Anyway, she never thought about getting along well with the Zhou family from the beginning to the end.
Now that she's back, they're mortal enemies.
When Zhou Yuqi brought people to find her, she was not even surprised, after all, she did not deliberately conceal her whereabouts.
"Gu Ruanci, kneel down!"
