During the days and nights when Tie Le was kidnapped, he lived like a dog every day. His only belief in living was to pass on the news of Cai Chuan's collusion with Tie Le to his grandfather.
As a result, after he was finally rescued from Tiele, what he received was the news that his entire family had been killed in battle; that the Zhenbei Palace had deceived the emperor and treason; that the Zhou family had their homes ransacked, and that their women and children were exiled to the southern barbarians, with no clue whether they were alive or dead.
Why does it become like this!
If Ji Sheng hadn't saved him and hid him, he would have died the day after he was found by the Zhou army.
The hero of the North has become a disgrace of treason; the proud man of heaven has become a despised one...
"Brother."
A gentle but powerful voice interrupted Zhou Yunzhi's random thoughts.
Zhou Yunzhi turned his head when he heard the familiar voice and saw his pregnant sister standing aside.
Why is she here?
Seeing Zhou Yunzhi finally reacting, Zhou Yunshu hugged Yuan Li and sat on the edge of the bed.
Fang Huiwen gradually stopped crying, hugging Yuan Yi and staring closely at her husband on the bed.
Zhou Yunshu held Yuan Li's hand and held Zhou Yunzhi's hand, "Go home, mother is waiting for you at home."
Zhou Yunzhi's lips moved slightly, but in the end he did not open his mouth.
But when Zhou Yunshu noticed his little action, she continued: "Nothing is more important than living. My mother can't live without you, my sister-in-law and the children can't live without you. Now that Li and I are at home with our children, we can't live without you either." you."
Zhou Yunshu's next words were like putting a bomb in Zhou Yunzhi's ears.
"Heli! Are you and Ji Sheng making peace!?" Zhou Yunzhi held up his arms and tried to get up. Fang Huiwen saw that he wanted to help, but he stopped him.
"Well, after I learned that something happened to you in the north, and the decree of confiscation and exile reached Zhenbei Palace, I made peace with you."
Zhou Yunzhi stared at his only sister in front of him with his bloodshot eyes.
When he was snatched away from Tiele by Ji Sheng in the North, he once asked him about his little sister's condition.
He just said everything was fine and told him not to worry.
This is what Ji Sheng said, everything is fine!
That's what he said don't worry!
Ji's family really doesn't have a good thing!
After Zhou Yunzhi cursed in his heart, he seemed to have forgotten that his grandmother was also a member of the Ji family.
"He dislikes you and doesn't want you, right?" Zhou Yunzhi's eyes were red and his voice was trembling.
When he sent Zhou Yunshu off to get married, the scene where he and his brothers spoke harshly to Ji Sheng was still vivid in his mind; the scene where he said he would support Zhou Yunshu in the future seemed like yesterday.
As a result, what was waiting for him today was that his beloved sister was kicked out of the house because she was pregnant.
"Brother, I asked you to come down on my own."
Although Ji Sheng is a cold and inhumane person, he has one good thing, that is, he will protect the people he regards as his own, even if they are at odds with the entire court.
This is also the reason why despite his ruthless methods, he is regarded as a believer by his subordinates.
Zhou Yunxia, who was married to Tongzhou in her previous life, had her home confiscated and was exiled because of the Zhenbei Prince's Palace. She changed from General Ma's first wife to his common wife amidst many rumors; while Zhou Yunshu, who was living in the capital city where turmoil was constantly turbulent, kept her life because of Ji Sheng's insistence. The status of Princess Wei.
Although she kept her status as a princess, Zhou Yunshu was extremely embarrassed in the capital at that time. People in the capital were gnashing their teeth against the Zhou family because the Zhenbei Palace had deceived the emperor and treason.
After her home was confiscated and exiled from Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, Zhou Yunshu never stepped out of the gate of Prince Wei's Mansion again.
When she was first reborn in this life, even if she didn't go to Ji Sheng, Ji Sheng would go to the main courtyard and ask her to stay at home and not go out.
Although Ji Sheng kept her position as the principal concubine, at the same time, the palace also sent two concubines to the palace, one of which was Concubine Li's niece Cheng Jiajia.
After the concubine entered the palace, Zhou Yunshu's control of the family was handed over to Cheng Jiajia, and she and Xixi were transferred to the most remote Bamboo Garden in the palace by Ji Sheng. From then on, they became completely transparent in the Wei Palace, except for the day of delivery. , Zhuyuan has never allowed outsiders to enter.
Just because Zhou Yunshu is willing to be transparent does not mean that the people under her are equally willing.
Otherwise, Xia Ying would not have colluded with Cheng Jiajia, causing her to die in childbirth, killing one body and three lives.
The lessons she learned in her previous life were too painful, so she would never be that canary who died in a cage without paying attention in this life.
"The Zhou family is both prosperous and devastated. It makes no sense that my grandmother and mother were exiled to the southern barbarians, but I pretended that nothing happened."
Ji Sheng had sealed her ears in her previous life, and she only found out about it after the Zhou family's women and children left the capital.
For Ji Sheng, the fall of Zhenbei Prince's Palace and Princess Dachang was their political failure. Failure must lead to failure, so they deserve to suffer whether it is confiscating their homes or being exiled.
Just like he chose to marry the Prince of Zhenbei, enjoy the convenience brought to him by the Prince of Zhenbei and the eldest princess, and at the same time bear the criticism from other forces after their fall.
This is what he should bear.
But Ji Sheng would not allow it to attack, curse or even take away Zhou Yunshu's status as Princess Wei.
In his opinion, this was not their unilateral implication of Zhou Yunshu being a member of the Zhou family, or a test of his bottom line.
Zhou Yunshu was first his wife and the mistress of his Prince Wei Palace; secondly, she was the eldest daughter of the Zhou family of Zhenbei Palace.
Ji Sheng's purpose in life has always been that men should lead the outside world and women should lead the inside.
Zhou Yunshu handled all the affairs in the house for him, so he had the responsibility to keep out all the ups and downs outside the house and not let them disturb his wife and daughter in the slightest.
The kind of person who would abandon his wife and daughter to save himself when something happens is the most shameful thing for Ji Sheng.
Not worthy of being a husband; not worthy of being a father; not worthy of being a man.
"It was my fault."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Zhou Yunzhi who was crying, pursed her lips and said, "Brother, it's not your fault, this is my choice."
"Everyone should be responsible for their own choices, whether they are right or wrong."
As she spoke, she held Zhou Yunzhi's scarred hand and said, "Brother, having a choice is better than having no choice, isn't it?"
Zhou Yunzhi said nothing.
Zhou Yunshu continued: "Grandma said, let me assume the position of head of the Zhou family."
After Zhou Yunshu said these words, Zhou Yunzhi was finally willing to look at her again. He was not jealous, because taking on the burden of the Zhou family now was by no means a good job. He was just feeling guilty, and his guilty heart throbbed again and again.
"But I can't do it alone, brother."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Zhou Yunzhi with tears in her eyes, "I know that I have to shoulder this burden, and I will also shoulder this burden, but I am a little worried that I can't bear it."
Zhou Yunzhi felt very distressed when his sister, whom he had grown up with and never shed tears easily, looked at his tearful eyes.
Zhou Yunshu held Zhou Yunzhi's hand and prayed: "Brother, you love me the most, don't you?"
Zhou Yunzhi swallowed his throat, but still nodded.
"Brother, help me support the Zhou family, okay?"
