Zhou Minxing wanted to lift a chair for Zhou Zhenyu to sit down, but Zhou Jiye glared back at him.
If Xu Zhong hadn't come wearing this outfit, Zhou Zhenyu could still take advantage of his seniority.
Now that he was wearing this outfit, with just these epaulettes on him, they had to stand there like their grandsons.
"..."
When Xu Zhong saw the old man who had left and returned, there was no sign of Xie Yuci behind him. His brows were filled with seriousness, and his aura became increasingly fierce.
Everyone at the scene looked at each other in disbelief.
Is Xie Yuci refusing to see Xu Zhong?
That’s Xu Zhong.
Do you know what Xu Zhong represents?
She just refused to see him so calmly?
……
"What did she say?" Xu Zhong spoke calmly.
"Tell Miss Ci...she will not leave the ancestral hall until she sincerely repents and thinks of a way to make amends." The old housekeeper replied in his original words.
The only way to make amends was to agree to Zhou Zhenyu's request and take out the medicine.
Now that she couldn't get the medicine, she could only think of other ways to remedy the situation.
It sounds like a confession, but in fact it is a confrontation with Zhou Zhenyu.
Zhou Zhenyu, Zhou Jiye, Zhou Minxing, and even Zhou Minrou could hear it.
Several people looked very unhappy.
The people at the scene did not understand what happened, they could only understand its meaning.
Xie Yuci entered the ancestral hall!
Xie Yuci didn't go in voluntarily, so she refuses to come out now!!
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at the Zhou family.
How did they manage to send someone who could change the Zhou family's social class into the ancestral hall?
You say how badly a person can get into trouble.
Just imagine how bad a family can get into.
You said how outrageous a person can be.
How outrageous can a family be?!
"..."
Xu Zhong was too lazy to argue with them about why Xie Yuci had come to the ancestral hall or why she had said such things. He simply repeated the purpose of his visit and said, "We need to ask her to return to work. Please lead the way."
"No..." Zhou Zhenyu's face instantly became extremely serious when he heard Xu Zhong was going to bring people into the room.
If Xu Zhong were allowed to bring his men in today, how would the Zhou family maintain their dignity in Shangjing in the future?
"What? You don't want to give way?" Xu Zhong glanced at them.
"We can't afford what Chief Xu said. It was Yuci who didn't want to come out. Why don't we let her?" Zhou Jiye cried out in injustice.
"Okay, it's best if you let me go. I'll go and invite her myself." Xu Zhong said, looking at the old housekeeper and said, "Where is the Zhou family ancestral hall? Please lead the way."
The old housekeeper glanced at Zhou Zhenyu and said respectfully, "I'm so sorry, Chief Xu. We have a rule in the Zhou family that outsiders are not allowed to set foot in the ancestral hall. Please follow it."
When everyone saw this scene, they started talking about it based on what the butler had just said.
"What crime did Xie Yuci commit to be imprisoned in the ancestral hall?"
"The Zhou family is determined to punish Xie Yuci. Even Chief Xu's presence is useless."
"I'm afraid Chief Xu really has something urgent to do. It's not good for the Zhou family to stop him like this."
"Yes, Chief Xu is not the type to meddle in other people's affairs. He came here today, and who knows what mission he has. If the Zhou family persists in their misconduct, they will be obstructing official duties, and this accusation will be put on them..."
"What's wrong with that? Xie Yuci doesn't come out to see people herself. Who would allow outsiders to enter their ancestral hall? Unless the clan is destroyed, this is a taboo."
"Yes, yes, but what happened to Xie Yuci? Why were they imprisoned in the ancestral hall?"
"It seems that the rumors I heard a while ago are true."
"What's the rumor?"
"I heard that Zhou Minyue, the second daughter of the Zhou family, has a disabled hand. Yes, the one who just got a place in the army a while ago and invited half of the second generation of the business circle to join has a disabled hand. It is said that... it was the one who just arrived in Shangjing and hooked up with the big boss who did it."
"Huh? Are you really that arrogant?"
"Really? I heard about it. He was admitted to the hospital where our relative works. It was a huge commotion at the time. The police and a lot of bigwigs were there... Yes, those bigwigs that guy was hanging out with. But then the Zhou family realized he was family, so they dropped the matter."
"So it's not wrong for the Zhou family to handle this matter behind closed doors."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, I fully support you in this matter."
They know better than anyone whether Zhou Zhenyu is right or knows how to deal with the current situation.
But they don't understand, are there really such stupid people in the world? They gave in when they were right at the police station, but turned around and locked the person up in the ancestral hall. This is not only unreasonable but also illegal! !
Zhou Zhenyu, the business tycoon, is old and confused.
"..."
When Zhou Jiye heard the discussions in the crowd, he subconsciously straightened his back.
Zhou Zhenyu gradually calmed down amidst the support from many people.
He knew very well that these people were friends and competitors. No one liked to see their competitors prosper, and everyone wished you bad luck.
These people seem to be supporting the Zhou family, but in fact they are flattering them and trying to confront Xu Zhong.
Zhou Zhenyu knew the Zhou family's strength. If they wanted to settle some things, they could still save face, but if they wanted to confront the military head-on, they certainly did not have the strength to do so.
He looked at Xu Zhong, whose face was serious, and said with a slightly relaxed expression, "Chief Xu, we are not trying to stop you. Large families have the rule that outsiders are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall. I will send someone to invite Yuci again and order her to come out and leave with you."
Zhou Zhenyu looked back at the butler and signaled him to take his orders and ask Xie Yuci to come out to see Xu Zhong.
The housekeeper had followed Zhou Zhenyu for many years and naturally knew what to do. He left again and went to the Zhou family's ancestral hall.
This time he brought a few bodyguards with him. If Xie Yuci insisted on not coming out, they would have no choice but to "invite" her out.
Zhou Zhenyu and the housekeeper are two thousand-year-old foxes. Because of their old age, they can't keep up with the latest news, and they have probably never seen anyone who is fearless.
So, they misjudged something again.
……
The old housekeeper went over with a few bodyguards.
Xie Lian was probably not used to it. She didn't sleep well yesterday and went to bed early today.
Xie Yuci was reading in the inner room. When he heard footsteps, he didn't look up.
But the expression on his face was obviously unhappy.
The old housekeeper came for the first time and did not dare to wake up Xie Lian, but this time he did not care about that and respectfully invited Xie Yuci to go to the front hall.
Xie Yuci lowered his eyes to look at the book in his hand and said calmly, "I have already told you everything I need to say. Please follow my advice and don't embarrass me."
housekeeper:"……"
The sky is about to fall. Who is making things difficult for whom?
The housekeeper felt powerless, but still said politely and respectfully: "Miss Yuci, Chief Xu is here on official business today, you should go out and meet him."
“…” Xie Yuci lowered his eyes and looked at the book in his hand without saying anything.
As she just said, she had said what needed to be said and she didn't want to go out.
