The jade pendant was lying in the bedroom, and it fell out of a broken box.The jade pendant was a bit old in color, and the tassels that were originally red also showed faded brown, and they just fell quietly in the dust.

His mother hadn't saved anything for so many years, and when she was sent to Zhuangzi, she was considered a cleanse, and the only valuable things left were also taken away with her, and she was also buried in the mountain torrent.

Therefore, when it came to demolishing his mother's former residence, Zhou Xun didn't have any souvenirs.

But I didn't expect that there was a jade pendant here.

Zhou Xun pushed aside the pile of rubble with his hands, only to discover the reason why the jade pendant fell—the box containing the jade pendant seemed to have been buried in a wall at first, and his mother was driven away in a hurry, perhaps because of this, he never put it away. take away.Now if it wasn't for this demolition, the box would hardly see the light of day.

It's just so damn good, why did you bury this thing under the wall?

With such confusion, Zhou Xun picked up the jade pendant and held it in his palm.At this moment, the sound of people walking behind him came.Zhou Xun closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the sentimentality just now was gone.

"It's here, it's here, I saw him coming this way!" A young servant led a person to walk this way, and when he saw the figure in the ruins, his eyes lit up, "Look! He's right here! "

Seeing these people coming, the two guards took a step forward with their swords and blocked Zhou Xun behind them.Zhou Xun patted the back of his hand, calmly, and signaled him not to worry.

The butler here did not recognize Zhou Xunlai for a while.He looked at the young master who looked like a crown jade in front of him, as if he saw a stranger he couldn't recognize: "You said... this is the second young master?"

In fact, it's no wonder the housekeeper didn't recognize it.

In his memory, Zhou Xun has always been withdrawn and indifferent, always standing in a corner and not talking to others.Compared with Zhou Cai, who is bright and eloquent, he is just a silent and dim shadow—even with the melancholy that has been suppressed all year round.

——and dusty, no one cares.

Although the young man standing in the ruins at this moment has cold eyes, he does not see the gesture of shrinking from the suppression in the past.

However, what changed the most about him was his temperament—the person who had been suppressed in the past seemed to break out of the ground in an instant and stand on the high mountain.Like a piece of emerald, the stone skin on the surface has been peeled off, revealing the radiant inside.

He just stood there with a faint glance, as if a wind and snow swept down from the cliff, making the housekeeper and others speechless.

Seeing the butler's questioning, the boy nodded his head like a rattle, and said anxiously: "I used to clean here, and I know the face of the second young master very well!"

Zhou Xun looked at the butler.The housekeeper looked at him blankly, and the original sentence "You still have the face to come back here", but subconsciously turned into a weak sentence when he said it, as if he was treating a nobleman: "I don't know why the second young master came back today... ..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped himself in his heart, scolding himself for being overwhelmed by a person's appearance at that moment.

The housekeeper with eyes above the top actually said such words, but Zhou Xun just said indifferently: "Let's see how the family property is divided. By the way..."

He smiled slightly: "I also come to pay my respects to my aunt."

Zhou Xun left everyone behind and led the two guards towards the main hall.Only then did they come to their senses. The dog beside the butler stepped forward cursingly, and was forced by the guards around Zhou Xun, who was so frightened that he took a step back.

"Unbelievable stuff!" Seeing a few people walking away, the butler kicked the dog's leg angrily.

The dog leg cried out in pain, wanting to defend himself.The butler waved his hand at the people around him and said angrily: "Go, go up, can't we have so many of them that we can't beat them? Throw them out!"

Just as he was about to step forward, someone beside him quickly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Housekeeper, just listen to what the old man has to say!"

The butler turned his head, and it was Zhou Cai's staff who appeared beside him.This staff member usually loves to rely on the old and sell the old, but now it is the first time that he showed such a flustered look: "Then, the second young master can't lose it!"

"Why can't I lose it?"

"The knife worn by the guard next to him, if the old man reads it right, only the guards in front of the imperial court can use the knife! Do you know what crime it is to offend the guards in front of the imperial court?" Second Young Master, this is not what it used to be..."

Mother Zhou walked in the garden with Patriarch Ye.

"This century-old ginkgo is well-deserved of its reputation, and it is indeed a gift from the heavenly family." The patriarch Ye, who came from Xingzhi and came to stroll in the garden, said.

Zhou's mother walked aside, secretly glad that the news of Zhou Cai's loss of power had not reached Jiangzhou.These days, as a woman in the deep house, although she doesn't know much about the outside world, she also knows that the emperor hates the Zhou family very much now—a few days ago, she even ordered the Zhou family's house to be demolished!

'The emperor is dividing the property for the second young master. The eunuch who came to deliver the order said with a smile, "Don't be angry, the second young master was also the young master of the Zhou family, wasn't he?"It doesn't matter whether it's early or late.Don't worry, the emperor's work is the most fair and just, and every brick and tile must be distributed equally. '

It is unseemly to break ground in the Zhou family, but it seems reasonable and legal to be involved in a division of the family property.Even the most stern speaker raised an objection on this matter, but was beaten back by the emperor's sophistry and "Why did you interfere in the Zhou family's family affairs?"

She knew that the emperor was venting his anger for Zhou Xun now, but she still couldn't understand how the emperor's darling changed from Zhou Cai to Zhou Xun overnight - but this didn't stop her from hating Zhou Xun now.

What's even more humble is that all the high officials in Beijing know that the Zhou family has offended the emperor.But now, in order to maintain their dignity and deny the fact that they have fallen, they have to swallow this bitter pill forcefully, saying that they support the emperor's resolution.For example, today, she still has to act like a paper tiger in front of her natal family.

"The last time I saw Cai'er from your family was six years ago—I heard that he is now a young man like Zhilan Yushu." The head of the Ye family had just been soft and hard with Zhou's mother for a long time, but Zhou's mother still refused to let go. Slightly annoyed, she only thought that Zhou's mother had flown away, so she looked down on her mother's family.But after all, he had something to ask of Zhou's mother, and with Zhou Cai's identity, there was no need to tear his face, so he praised again: "I heard rumors about your Cai'er before I came to the capital, saying that it was a hundred years ago. A rare young man. Is he in the mansion today?"

His praise was not sincere, it was more flattering.

"he is……"

Zhou Xun saw Zhou's mother in the garden from a distance.But what surprised him was that there was a middle-aged man he didn't know standing beside Zhou's mother.

The middle-aged man seemed to be very familiar with Zhou's mother, talking about something under the tree.Just as Zhou Xun was about to go, another voice came from his ear: "You are here."

Zhou Xun turned his head, and the moment he saw the visitor, his face turned cold.

Appearing in front of him was the smiling Zhou Cai.

"I heard that you have returned to the Zhou Mansion, so you hurried back. Why, do you come to the Zhou Mansion in a leisurely way today?" Zhou Cai raised his chin and looked at the scene around him, "After all, this is where you were born and raised. Does the place look good?"

Zhou Xun looked at him, seeing Zhou Cai covered in dust and dust, he also laughed for a long time.

"It's beautiful," he said.

At the same time, a construction worker rushed into the Zhou Mansion through the small gate.After seeing the foreman, he quickly stuck to the foreman's ear and said, "I have notified the palace, the emperor knows that Mr. Zhou has come to the Zhou residence."

"...Cai'er has been very busy these days, and my cousin also knows that the emperor thinks highly of him, so he is not in the mansion." Zhou's mother lied, "But at this time of weekdays, it is about time to come back."

The head of the Ye family nodded.Just as he was about to speak again, his eyes caught sight of the bamboo forest in the distance, and the sight he saw made his eyes brighten.

What a handsome young man!

Standing beside the bamboo forest was a young man in white.Now people pay attention to clothes to complement people, but he is dressed simply, but it looks more noble and extraordinary, and there is a kind of elegance that is rare in the world.Standing there, he looked like a clump of lush bamboos on the edge of Bailu Cliff—the steeper the terrain, the sharper the rocks, the more breathtakingly bright this bamboo forest could be shown under the moonlight.Even though people will admire the most colorful peonies on the brocade, such an overwhelming scene is even more memorable.

In comparison, the young man standing beside him paled in comparison.In all fairness, that young man is still good-looking, but his brows and eyes are impetuous, and he is not as lofty as the other person; his clothes are more luxurious, but not as good as the white clothes embroidered with dark patterns of bamboo leaves; his face is full of smiles, Compared with the other person's indifferent expression, he was full of worldly things.The head of the Ye family only glanced at him, then looked back at the young man in white.

The head of the Ye family almost immediately identified the young man in white as Zhou Cai—how many people in the world have his bearing?Besides, he is now in the Zhou Mansion, so who else could such an outstanding young man be if not Zhou Cai?

Mother Zhou followed his gaze.From her point of view, the first thing she saw was Zhou Cai, and she couldn't help but smile. After seeing the young man beside Zhou Cai, Zhou's mother's face twisted and sank.

"Who is the boy standing by the bamboo forest?"

"It's just my Cai'er and a little bastard." Zhou's mother gritted her teeth.

Zhou's mother shouted again: "Cai'er, come this way, let your uncle take a good look at you!"

Zhou Cai smiled at Zhou Xun upon hearing this, and went this way.The head of the Ye family couldn't help frowning when he saw that the eclipsed young man raised his foot first.

——Is this bastard too unruly?The first brother didn't move, but he went first?

——The etiquette learned by the Zhou family was eaten into the dog's stomach by this man?

In an instant, his affection for this man who didn't understand the rules fell to the bottom.But according to Zhou's mother's tone, he also knew that this person was probably the son of some concubine.As for the lowly concubines, there are even those who were born in the land of fireworks, with humble blood flowing in their veins, and it is normal for them not to know the rules.

Zhou Cai was walking on the road, but felt that the middle-aged man looked at him with some contempt.He also frowned, wondering when he offended him.

Zhou Xun heard Zhou's mother's introduction, and roughly knew the identity of the middle-aged man - a member of the Ye family, probably one of the people in power.But now he is looking for trouble, and he is not afraid of more excitement, so he didn't change his plan, shrugged, and walked towards this side.

Seeing both of them coming here.Zhou Cai first bowed to the two of them.Zhou's mother was naturally smiling, but the head of the Ye family just snorted coldly, and was very indifferent to him-not eager to the point of being almost rude.Facing Zhou Cai's salute, he just turned his head and said to Zhou's mother: "Wenying, your housekeeper can't be too soft-hearted! You still have to teach what needs to be taught! If you can't teach, let him be punished and let outsiders see Wouldn't it be ridiculous for such an unruly person to come out of the Zhou family, it's better to get out as soon as possible!"

Zhou Cai's face froze, the words of the head of the Ye family were clearly aimed at him.He was terrified thinking about the process of saluting just now, wondering when he did something wrong.

But he couldn't come up with an answer after thinking about it.Just when he raised his head to ease the conflict, the eyes of the head of the Ye clan lit up.

— Then, he stretched out his hand.

Zhou Cai's hand was frozen in the air, but the head of the Ye family had already passed him.He took the other person's hand, and sighed with a smile on his face: "I heard the rumors before and thought they were a bit exaggerated, but now it seems that the rumors are not incomplete or untrue. My nephew is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people. I haven't seen him for a few years, and his temperament has become more and more outstanding." Now, it’s no wonder that all the girls in the capital are obsessed with you. A person like you must be one in a million in Beijing.”

Different from the politeness just now, his current compliment is sincere.

Zhou Cai only felt that the blood in his body rushed to his head.And Mother Zhou, who was standing beside him, was so pale that she was about to pass out.Her hands were trembling, her teeth were trembling, she felt as if half of her body went numb, and it disappeared in an instant.

The head of the Ye family still praised Zhou Xun to himself, but found that Zhou's mother and the little bastard behind him looked very strange—just now when he used the Lin family's affairs as an excuse to persuade Zhou's mother, Zhou's mother was still able to maintain The liveliness of the noble lady was indistinct.Why now that he praised Zhou Cai, Zhou's mother trembled instead?

How could the head of the Ye family think that the person he is preconceived pulling is not Zhou Cai, but Zhou Xun, the bastard son of the Zhou family!

The corners of Zhou's mother's mouth trembled. At this moment, she was saying yes and no, no and no.How could she not understand now - her cousin, the head of the Ye family, had misidentified him!

He recognized Zhou Xun, a little bitch, as her precious son Zhou Cai, and her Zhou Cai as the child of a concubine!

He was so sure - in his eyes, it was clear at a glance which of the two was better!

Zhou's mother was furious and took a step back, but fortunately she was supported by the maid, so she could not fall to the ground.She had never expected Zhou Xun not to say a word like this moment.But Zhou Xun refused to fulfill her wish and spoke.

"Uncle, I'm wrong. I'm Zhou Xun, the former second young master of the Zhou family," Zhou Xun said indifferently, "The one next to me is my direct brother Zhou Cai."

For a while, the head of the Ye family also froze in place. He slowly turned his head to look at the child who he mistook as the child of a lowly concubine and who was not on the stage.

In this suffocating atmosphere, only Zhou Xun smiled slightly.He passed the head of the Ye family and bowed to Zhou's mother: "Zhou Xun is no longer a member of the Zhou family. He passed by today and came to see his former aunt."

Simply things can't get any worse.Zhou's mother put aside her face and shouted as if venting: "Where is the person? What about the person? Why did you let him come here?!"

"My aunt doesn't respect etiquette. As a former child, I still have to come to say hello to my aunt." Zhou Xun said lightly, "I left Zhou's house in a hurry, but now that all my luggage has been taken away, I feel at ease. .”

"you!"

"mother!"

The head of the Ye family was dumbfounded.

This Zhou Xun is really not the child of Zhou's mother Ye Wenying?In other words... a concubine gave birth to a child?

But how could there be such a concubine in the world who gave birth to a son who was even better than the concubine?Moreover, the Zhou family also lived in Jiangzhou for more than ten years before coming to the capital.Zhou Cai has always been the only one in the Zhou family, why has he never heard of such an outstanding talent?

The more shocked he was, the more he looked at Zhou Xun's eyebrows and eyes carefully.For some reason, he found a trace of familiarity in Zhou Xun's eyebrows.

"You are so hard-winged now, it's against the sky! The Zhou family is the place where you were born and raised, and you treat the Zhou family like this, it's really unfilial!"

"My mother gave birth to me, and heaven and earth raised me. As a heir of the Zhou family, I was entitled to take away part of the Zhou family's property. Now I only got back part of it. Is my aunt so shameless?"

"Your mother is a slut, and you are also a slut..." Mother Zhou gritted her teeth and said, like a shrew cursing, "I shouldn't have spared your life in the first place!"

Zhou Xun didn't get angry when he was involved, but when his mother was scolded, Zhou Xun immediately cooled down.

— and smiled again.

——In that case, he simply made Zhou's mother happy.

"Now that I see my aunt is in good health, I feel relieved. My mother's fortune is poor, so she left early, but my aunt has to live longer." Zhou Xun said with a smile, "Otherwise, how can I see me going out and about, with my own How about repaying the aunt's kindness by repaying the brilliance of the mother? That's right—"

"I was very worried when I heard that my aunt was my younger brother. If my younger brother committed a crime, he would be exiled according to the law. From then on, the family will be much cleaner. But it doesn't matter." Zhou Xun said slowly, "It must not be long. There will be another child to fill the vacancy in the family, and my father has been worrying too much these days, so he can show off his face and have a good time..."

"What did you say!"

Mother Zhou heard what he meant, and couldn't even hold back her face when she heard the words: "What do you know? What do you see? You..."

"Although I came back to divide the family property, what I want to divide is only the house with brick walls and my own things - the ornaments in Zhou's mansion. I will not touch any of them." Zhou Xun said leisurely, " My aunt has guarded against me for many years, preventing me from sharing Bo Zhoucai's share. If I have time to hang out here, why don't I go back and count the decorations at home to see if there is anything missing-especially the dowry, or the woman's Accessories and the like. I remember that my aunt has a lot of beautiful hairpins? Is the number right?"

Mother Zhou's blood surged up and she trembled all over: "What the hell are you talking about!"

"It's a pity that my aunt has been guarding against things for a lifetime, but she failed to guard against the person I should guard against the most." Zhou Xun saluted, "I have said hello today, and please ask my aunt to do it for herself—at least, live until next spring."

Zhou Xun turned around and was about to leave, Zhou's mother chased after him with a blank face: "Please explain clearly to me!"

Zhou Xun frowned, seeing the man's hand on his arm.Zhou Cai quickly caught up and said, "Mom! Let go!"

"You! You're against me too! You're an unworthy thing!" Zhou's mother was so annoyed that even her own son started to scold, and she unconsciously said the most hurtful words, "Tell you to be good!" Taking the emperor, and now someone has taken the lead, you incompetent thing, how did I help you when you were young? I let you take the lead in everything, and I took care of this person for you early, but you didn't live up to it. When you grow up, you can't even tie a man! What's your use? What's your use?"

As soon as the voice sounded, Zhou Cai's whole body shook, his eyes turned red, and he let go of his hand.

He lowered his head.

——This is the separation between mother and child.

Zhou Xun watched them quarreling coldly.Mother Zhou lost her temper, knowing she had nothing to say, she covered her face and left crying.The head of the Ye family took a look at the two of them here, and finally shook his head in embarrassment when he saw the cousin who left crying.

Across the long lobby, Zhou Xun smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves, and looked at Zhou Cai again after half a month.

Only Zhou Xun and Zhou Cai were left in the lobby.Seeing that no one was left, Zhou Xun found a chair and sat down.

He had already seen that Zhou Cai had something to say to him.

Zhou Cai lowered his head and raised his red eyes after a while.He smiled at Zhou Xun: "Are you very proud?"

Zhou Xun asked him back, "What do you think?"

He said to Zhou Cai who had red eyes in the hall: "There is no one here now, and you don't have to act like you are about to cry."

"Really?" Zhou Cai raised his head slowly and even smiled, his eyes were still red, and there were still tears in them, but now he said, "That's all, I thought you might sympathize Sympathize with me—then stop doing these useless efforts."

Zhou Xun looked at Zhou Cai, thinking with disgust how this person could be so brazen.At the same time, a little vigilance was born.

Zhou Cai also sat on the chair, looking up at the scenery outside.Not far away, there were still people dismantling the walls of Zhou's house.He suddenly smiled, tilted his head and said, "The emperor is so kind to you, isn't he? Even this way of venting his anger can be figured out for you. Now everyone in the capital knows that the emperor is humiliating you for your sake. us."

Zhou Xun didn't speak, he waited for Zhou Cai to reveal his intentions.

"...The emperor used to treat me like this. There was no Zhou house here, but a century-old ginkgo tree, so he asked people to set up Zhou's house here. He is that kind of person. Love wants him to live, and evil wants him to die. " Zhou Cai said in a roundabout way, "I went to see him in the palace yesterday... I knelt in front of the palace for a long time, almost dying there, before he was willing to see me. Do you know why he saw me? Set boundaries with me."

"For you, he didn't punish the Zhou Mansion——before he ensured that you could draw a clear line with the Zhou Mansion, he would not let you have a heinous mother's family, which would affect your name in the history books. Other than that , He kept us tossing around, and he also wanted you to come and see our excitement, and in the end——Leave it to you to solve it yourself." Zhou Cai said, "But have you ever thought about why the emperor is so kind to you?"

Zhou Xun looked at him coldly.

Zhou Cai looked at him and smiled at him strangely: "Do you really think he fell in love with you at first sight? How long have you known him, and how long have I known him? He can give up on me for you today, and he can also give up for me in the future." you……"

——He doesn't have that kind of relationship with the emperor.

Zhou Xun thought.

The highest level of lies is nine truths and one falsehood. He knew that Zhou Cai and him were speaking in such an almost heart-to-heart tone to pave the way for the future.When Zhou Cai said that sentence, Zhou Xun understood that the killing move that Zhou Cai really wanted to give today finally came.

"Zhou Xun, you are a smart person, you should know that there is no such luck in the world." Zhou Cai smiled at him inscrutablely, with some sympathy in his eyes, "The emperor treats you well, but because--"

"You were treated as someone's substitute."

The stone finally fell.

Zhou Cai's voice continued, like a magic voice: "Don't you think he has a strange attitude since he saw you? Why did he let you go when you first met him? Don't you have the slightest clue?" Doubt?"

"He looks for the shadow of another person from your language, he looks for the shadow of another person from your body, do you think you have been saved? Do you think you have obtained the rare luck and light of the world Is it? No, none of that is for you, it was originally for another person!" Zhou said in a deceptive and long-prepared language, "You are just a person who stole the love that originally belonged to another person. Poor thing!"

As he said that, he patted the table and observed Zhou Xun's expression. His heart, which was originally painful and depressed, finally became elated.

happy!

He wants to see how Zhou Xun reacts, he wants to see if he hit his pain point!

"He will treat me like this today, and he will treat you like this in the future. There will always be someone who is more like that person than you in this world. At that time, you will cry and kneel in front of the palace like me, I just want him to see you..." Seeing Zhou Xun lower his head, Zhou Cai said slowly while the iron was hot, "Have you ever felt what it feels like to kneel for an hour?

"

He saw Zhou Xun's shoulders trembling slightly, and continued: "Don't get too complacent, today is me, tomorrow will be you, and one day you will also..."

"puff."

He heard a laugh.

... Zhou Xun, actually laughed?

Is he laughing?

"I've been here for a long time, and I actually forgot this meeting ceremony." Zhou Xun raised his head and said.He ordered the guards to come in, took out a package from the guards, and threw it to Zhou Cai, "Take it."

Zhou Cai was holding the package when he heard Zhou Xun say, "I'll give you a knee pillow. When you kneel again in the future, you can kneel on the knee pillow."

Zhou Cai: ...

Zhou Xun: "If you hadn't reminded me just now, I would have forgotten."

"...Zhou Xun." Zhou Cai said coldly, "Don't get complacent too early!"

He responded with a chuckle: "Don't bother you."

"Substitute? Substitute? Yesterday and today? The relationship between me and him is not such a vulgar relationship. Besides... do you think I will still believe your words?" Zhou Xun said slowly, "Even if there is something, I I'll just find it myself."

"I only see what I see, and I only feel what I have felt." Zhou Xun said, smiling with his eyes down.

"He was nice to me," he said.

Just these simple four words.

Mother Zhou finally sat down.She was sitting on a carved wooden chair, covering her face and crying.The head of the Ye family sat beside her, looking at his cousin, and gradually became impatient.

From the conversation just now, he heard many clues—for example, the Zhou Mansion, which seemed to be cooking with fire, has now fallen into ruin, Zhou Cai has completely fallen out of favor with the emperor, and even the title of champion is doubtful In addition, the child named Zhou Xun seems to be the emperor's new favorite.

Even the fact that the mansion was dug up to tatters was related to that young man.

He doesn't care about Zhou Cai's affairs, but now his most urgent concern is that Zhou Xun.

Who is that Zhou Xun?

He looked at his eyebrows, somehow, there was always a faint sense of dread.The man looked clearly only around twenty, but he gave him an infinite sense of threat.

——He who has been in the business world for many years believes in his intuition very much.

"Wenying, it's useless for you to cry now." The head of the Ye family coaxed her impatiently, "You have to tell me what happened to the Zhou family now!"

Zhou's mother sobbed twice, obviously not wanting to say anything.The head of the Ye family said again: "You have to know that the Ye family and the Zhou family are in-laws. One is prosperous and the other is hurt. Besides us, who else will help the Zhou family?"

It took a long time for Zhou's mother to speak the truth in a limited way.The head of the Ye family listened, and said again: "Leaving aside the matter of the Zhou family, who is that Zhou Xun?"

"Son of a whore!" Hearing Zhou Xun's words, Zhou's mother, who was still crying, gritted her teeth in an instant.

"Slut?" The head of the Ye family said, for some reason, he actually had an ominous premonition, "Who is his mother?"

"His mother, his mother..."

"talk!"

The head of the Ye family suddenly drank.Zhou's mother was taken aback, and quickly said: "He is the son of that bitch Lin Yan."

"Lin Yan? The lady of the Lin family? Isn't the whole Lin family exiled?" The head of the Ye family was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered the old story, and said angrily, "...I told you to cut the weeds to get rid of the roots, how did you put it down?" Their mother and son stayed until today!"

"That bastard Lin Yan was very careful, she protected the child tightly, I couldn't move my hands." Mother Zhou clenched her fists and said, "And later... who knew that a bastard could cause such a big disturbance? He's a powerless..."

The head of the Ye family stood up, closed all the doors and windows and said, "Cut the grass and roots, cut the grass and roots, why don't you listen?! Since he is a descendant of the Lin family, and now he has a relationship with the emperor, who knows when he will go to investigate thoroughly?" The matter of the Lin family! If he reverses the case for the Lin family, our entire Ye family will also be overthrown!"

Zhou's mother was taken aback. After a long time, she murmured: "No way? Back then, cousin, you also cleaned your hands and feet..."

"We have to find a way." The head of the Ye family frowned. Thinking of Zhou Xun's appearance, he shook his head even harder, "If he looks like a fool, it's not impossible to let him go. But he actually Born with such a snow-clear appearance...then we can't let him go!"

As he said that, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Now is a good time. He is still a grassroots citizen, not an official. The longer he delays, the more troublesome it will be! He is still in the Zhou family, right?"

The head of the Ye family was about to get up after speaking.Zhou's mother was taken aback, she quickly lowered her voice and said, "This is the Zhou family! Are you planning to kill people here...?"

The head of the Ye family looked at his stupid sister with hatred, and said, "There are thousands of ways to kill people. Are you so stupid? Naturally, you have to talk to him first to find out what he is doing. The current residence. He lives alone now, and when the time comes, he will send someone to ambush where he lives, and then..."

He made a gesture.

Mother Zhou also nodded.

yes!Why didn't she think of it!

As long as Zhou Xun is dead, is she afraid that her son will not have a chance?And she will be able to return to her original life!

Mother Zhou didn't know that Zhou Xun was living in the palace now.She was fully thinking about the possibility of sending someone to sneak into Zhou Xun's residence.

The two rushed towards the lobby in a hurry, as if they were afraid that the cooked duck would fly away.The head of the Ye family traced Zhou Xun's figure in his heart, and while he sighed a little, he became more and more afraid.

If Zhou Xun is really the son of another concubine of the Zhou family - even if he is not the son of Zhou's mother, it will be of great benefit to the Zhou family.Pity!Since he is Lin Yan's child now, it is natural to follow the reverse, the more outstanding he is, the more he cannot keep him!

This son is so terrifying, even though he is not yet famous. 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, this son must not stay!

Thinking this way, he thought again about the possibility of sending an assassin to Zhou Xun's residence to assassinate him.He knew that Zhou Xun was living outside the Zhou mansion now, and it must be in some house, even if it was a minister's house, it was not impossible to sneak into it.

--until.

"The Emperor is here!"

A loud noise came from the main entrance of the Zhou Mansion.Hearing these words, the head of the Ye family and Mother Zhou knelt down subconsciously. They looked at each other and realized that the emperor was not here.

What did the emperor come to Zhou's house for?

"The emperor used to come to Zhou's house often before, and it's no surprise that he came today. He must be..." Mother Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the words, "Could it be that my son...my son..."

She quickly ran towards the lobby.The head of the Ye family followed her, and had already preliminarily calculated his assassination plan.

It wasn't until he approached the lobby that he saw the black hem of the emperor's clothes and the dark blue official uniform with dark patterns belonging to the eunuch, the head of the Ye family cautiously slowed down his pace.

——It was the emperor who sent Jiang Wei to investigate the matter of the Ye family's clansman selling officials and nobles. After a few days, he didn't want to make the emperor feel bad.

Moreover, that Jiangwei was greedy, not only punished that clansman everywhere, but also confiscated his family property.If it weren't for the Ye family's relationship with the local magistrate, those eagle dogs might have bitten off a piece of meat from the Ye family's property!

He was thinking about how to salute when he heard a mellow male voice inside.

"Have you come out to play enough? If you've had enough, go back." The emperor's voice was deep, not angry but mighty, "Now there is a lot of smoke and dust here, be careful to hurt your lungs."

The young man in white gave a "hmm".

Ye family head:? ?

Wait, what did he hear?

Is Zhou Xun living in the palace now? !
