In the Zhou Mansion, dark clouds shrouded.

Zhou Wende walked into the wing room between him and Li Xiuniang, looking at Li Xiuniang who was sitting on the soft couch and silently wiping tears, Zhou Wende sighed and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is Leya?"

Li Xiuniang looked up at Zhou Wende with a gloomy and dignified expression, wiped away her tears, got up and said in a low voice, "Le Ya is still kneeling in the front room, he... refuses to agree."

Zhou Wende listened, closed his eyes, then slowly opened them, and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, Le Ya must get married! He and Boya...must be separated!"

Li Xiuniang looked at Zhou Wende, her voice was choked with sobs, "Master... If Boya is not of the Zhou family's blood, then, if he wants to be with Le Ya, then, just let them go!"

——In fact, she doesn't want to persecute her too much, she knows Le Ya, Le Ya has made up her mind, and Boya, the child she raised since she was a child, how can she give up?

Thinking of Boya's three respectful kowtows to her in the pavilion last time, and thinking of Boya's solemn promise to her, Li Xiuniang looked at Zhou Wende, her eyes filled with tears filled with pleading.

But Zhou Wende shook his head, looked at Li Xiuniang, and said in a hoarse voice, "Boya...Although I am not a member of the Zhou family, I was entrusted with raising the descendants of Princess Shan and making him a responsible person. A man who is capable and can inherit Princess Shan's behest! Instead of being unethical and unethical with his younger brother like this!" At the end of the speech, Zhou Wende's tone was very severe, hiding his anger.

Li Xiuniang looked at Zhou Wende, and said in a trembling voice, "In this case, then...then you just let Boya marry, Le Ya...I really don't want to force him! You know his temper, he If he gets stubborn...he is still kneeling in the front hall!"

Zhou Wende looked at Li Xiuniang, and sighed helplessly, "Madam, Boya is beyond my control. Now, I only hope that Leya can figure it out and be more sensible..."

"Master! Aren't you afraid that Boya will do something?!" Li Xiuniang couldn't help raising her voice, and asked, "Boya's temper, if Le Ya is really married, what will Boya do? Do not know at all!"

"That's better than they make mistakes over and over again now!" Zhou Wende said in a deep voice, after he finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiuniang's miserable face, sighed softly, stepped forward, and embraced Li Xiuniang who was crying with tears on his face, dumbfounded. With a soothing voice, "Let's... just give it a try, shall we?"

Li Xiuniang covered her mouth and silently shed tears again.

-

Zhou Boya, who was kneeling in the ancestral hall, silently looked at the ancestral tablet above him, until a voice sounded behind him: "My subordinates pay homage to the young master!" A man in black appeared silently behind Zhou Boya. Kneeling respectfully on one knee and bowing hands in salute.

"How is the second young master?" Zhou Boya lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice.

"The madam proposed that the second young master marry the daughter of the Minister of War, but the second young master refused, and now the second young master is still kneeling in the madam's yard." The man in black replied in a low voice.

When Zhou Boya heard this, he frowned and became worried. It seemed that his parents planned to attack Le Ya, which he really did not expect, and Le Ya...why was he so stubborn?Can't afford to kneel down?What if you hurt your knee?Mother loves Le Ya the most. Could it be that she really has the heart to let Le Ya kneel there all the time?

Zhou Boya clenched his fists tightly, he wished he could rush to Le Ya's side right now, but he couldn't!

"How's the situation outside?" Zhou Boya took a deep breath and asked.

"Returning to the master, the court discussion has not yet come to fruition, the humble scholars have already begun to gather in various places to discuss the matter of going to Beijing, the draft has been quietly carried out, and Miss Wen's family has been on the list. Li Chengyu recently stayed at home, and Li Yunhe was arrested for two days in a row. Summoned into the imperial palace, now, the Zheng family and Yu family have started to disagree with the Li family on many matters discussed by the next cabinet, and the Song family has not made any movement."

Zhou Boya listened carefully, and after listening, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice, "Leave some of the people, and the rest will go to the barbarians and Tianchuan, focus on following up the military deployment of the barbarians and Tianchuan and their strength, and do a good job at any time." Prepare for internal and external cooperation. Those who stay behind, follow up with Li Chengyu, and must grasp all the circumstances of the foreigners who contacted Li Chengyu, the nails of the imperial palace will start to work, there is no need to do anything, just keep an eye on Miss Wen's family."

"Yes! My subordinates obey!"

"Finally..." Zhou Boya looked up at the ancestral tablet of the Zhou family, his voice was a little hoarse, "Keep an eye on Li Chengfeng, he should start contacting some people."

"Yes!"

The man in black bowed his hands respectfully, and disappeared instantly.

And Zhou Boya stared at the ancestral tablet of the Zhou family, muttering in his heart: background...he doesn't care, but if he can prove that he is really not from the blood of the Zhou family, the resistance between him and Le Ya will be less, daddy He and Niangqin wouldn't object so strongly, would they?In fact, he didn't want to use drastic actions to stop his parents from objecting...

-

The night was thickening.

Zhou Leya knelt quietly, his brows and eyes were stubborn and determined, but his face was a little paler, and the cold sweat on his forehead was a little more. He didn't practice martial arts, and his knees were already black, blue, red and swollen, but he didn't feel it. What kind of pain, it's not that he doesn't feel pain, it's just that the depression and bitterness in his heart covered up his pain.

The moonlight was slowly flowing, and in the dark hall, his shadow slowly lit up under the moonlight.

At such a moment when the silence was filled with bitterness, the door creaked and was pushed open.

Zhou Leya didn't turn his head until a cloak was draped over his shoulders with a helpless sigh.

Zhou Leya turned her head, Zhou Wende had already squatted down beside him, Zhou Leya opened her eyes slightly, dad?

"Le Ya, tell Dad, you... really want to grow old with your brother...?" Zhou Wende's voice was hoarse and depressing.

Zhou Leya looked at Zhou Wende and nodded slowly. He knew that as a son of man, he should not disappoint his parents, but he had no way to deceive himself or his parents, let alone harm An innocent girl!

——Marriage is absolutely impossible!

Zhou Wende stared at Zhou Leya, and asked again in a hoarse voice, "Are you... serious?"

Zhou Leya looked at Zhou Wende, with a thin and tired face, the temples were already graying, Zhou Leya's eyes were red and sour, and she even had the urge to cry, Zhou Leya pursed her lips tightly, slowly, in Zhou Wende's eyes With dim eyes, he nodded heavily.

Zhou Wende lowered his eyes, remained silent and stagnant, then slowly stood up, dragged his pace, and walked slowly towards the door, but when he left, Zhou Wende said three words in a hoarse voice.

The first sentence: "Le Ya, your brother Boya is not Dad's son."

The second sentence: "Your brother bears the great trust of the ancestors, he can't make mistakes."

The third sentence: "Le Ya, let's get married, you can be regarded as a father... Please."

Zhou Leya insisted on kneeling all night, because of this last sentence, she was defeated.

-

The next day, Zhou Boya closed his eyes and knelt in the ancestral hall.

Suddenly, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open.

Zhou Boya slowly opened his eyes without looking back, he waited for the man standing behind him to speak.

"Bo Ya... Le Ya has already agreed to the marriage. Get up now."

Zhou Boya was startled, stood up suddenly, turned around and stared at Zhou Wende, "Father, what did you say?!"

Zhou Wende looked at Zhou Boya, and said slowly, "Le Ya promised to get married, from today onwards, you should go back to Qinghui Garden—"

"That's impossible!" Zhou Boya sternly interrupted Zhou Wende before he could finish his sentence. His face was gloomy, and it was difficult to hide his violent expression, "Le Ya can't agree!"

"He agreed, and three days later, he will get married." Zhou Wende said word by word.

Zhou Boya clenched his fists and stared at Zhou Wende because of his father's persecution?Although Le Ya never said it, Le Ya has already acquiesced in her company. Le Ya is determined not to betray her when she has already acquiesced in her feelings!

Zhou Boya slowly let go of his fist, it's okay, three days, right?

Zhou Wende saw that Zhou Boya suddenly withdrew all his violence and gloom, and his face calmed down instantly. Instead, he was a little startled, and forced himself to suppress his worries. Zhou Wende said in a deep voice, "Boya, ask me, are you Zhou Zhou? Family blood?"

Zhou Boya looked at Zhou Wende, "Father, I already know the answer."

Zhou Wende listened, but shook his head, "No, you don't know anything!"

Zhou Boya looked at Zhou Wende, didn't know anything?Nothing that Taoyuan Society wanted to investigate could not be found, except for his life experience, indeed, he could only be vaguely sure that he was not a member of the Zhou family.

Zhou Wende walked forward slowly, passed Zhou Boya, and looked at the ancestral tablets. Among these tablets, one of them was his best friend...

"You are indeed not the blood of the Zhou family, you are the son of an old friend of mine." Zhou Wende said in a low voice.

Zhou Boya opened his eyes slightly, the son of an old friend?

-

Let's talk about Zhou Leya at this time, sitting in the Qinglan Garden dumbly, with Li Xiuniang sitting next to him.

Li Xiuniang touched Zhou Leya's head distressedly, and comforted her in a low voice, "Leya, it's for your own good that my parents did this. Although your brother is not your biological brother, it's not a good thing for a man to stay with you for a lifetime, and, Your elder brother bears the great trust of his ancestors, and in the future... he must inherit the will of his ancestors, and he must leave a bloodline... So, it would be best to separate before you both form a deeper relationship..."

Zhou Leya listened dumbly, lowered her eyes, and tightly grasped the edge of the soft couch with both hands.

Li Xiuniang looked at Zhou Leya's dumb look, her eyes were sore, she stretched out her hand to gently cover Zhou Leya's hand holding on to the edge, her voice was trembling and choked, "Leya...mother knows you are suffering...but this is the right way Yes."

correct?Zhou Leya moved her eyes, what is right and what is wrong?

The moment he knew that his brother had no blood relationship with him, he was really relieved, but what he didn't expect was that his father begged him... At that moment, Zhou Leya felt a little confused and felt a deep pain in her heart Parents begging him... He really is extremely unfilial.

"Le Ya... Mom and Dad will never force you to get married. As long as you pretend to be married three days later, Mom and Dad will never mention marriage again." Li Xiuniang said in a low voice.

Zhou Leya looked at Li Xiuniang, and nodded slowly. Pretending to be married is his bottom line. It is absolutely impossible for him to marry a woman to harm others and himself.

Li Xiuniang gently patted Zhou Leya's hand comfortingly, but her heart was sore, I'm afraid... Le Ya will never marry another wife and have children in this life.

-

And at this time in the ancestral hall...

"Your biological father is my best friend, and also...a descendant of Princess Shan!" Zhou Wende said hoarsely.

When Zhou Boya heard the word Shan Princess, he raised his eyes to Zhou Wende, Princess Shan?

"You should also know that Senior Guiguzi once said that the most wise woman is Princess Shan." Zhou Wende looked at Zhou Boya.

"Yes, my son knows." Zhou Boya whispered.

Zhou Wende looked at Zhou Boya, and Zhou Boya's "son knows" made his heart tremble slightly. Knowing his background, Boya still called himself his son, which indirectly showed that Zhou Boya was still Zhou Wende's son!

Zhou Wende took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and continued, "Your biological father and I are classmates and friends. Although we are best friends, before your biological father died, he never told me his identity. , until that day, I suddenly received a letter from him, saying that he was hunted down, begging me to go to Songnan Mansion, take you back, and raise you up, but don't tell you, your life experience, unless you It has been accomplished."

Zhou Boya listened and lowered his eyes. Although Zhou Wende could not hide his excitement and vicissitudes when he said this, Zhou Boya was extremely calm, especially when he heard the words Songnan Mansion, Zhou Boya's heart moved, and what he thought of It was Li Chengfeng!

"Bo Ya... I don't know much about what you did outside, but I think this is the best time to tell you." Zhou Wende said in a deep voice.

"Is it because of the son and Le Ya?" Zhou Boya looked up at Zhou Wende, "Father, the biggest reason why you don't let your son be with Le Ya is that I am a descendant of Princess Shan?"

Zhou Wende frowned, looked at Zhou Boya, and said solemnly, "Le Ya, you have the blood of Princess Shan. Although the family is in power now and the world rarely knows about Princess Shan, you should not forget that you must inherit the blood of Princess Shan." The princess' will, continue the blood of Princess Shan!"

Zhou Boya listened calmly, but he thought in his heart, wouldn't father also tell Le Ya what he said?If so... With Le Ya's temperament... I will definitely agree to everything!

"Father... even if I am really the blood of Princess Shan, I don't necessarily have to continue the blood of Princess Shan, right?" Zhou Boya said calmly.What's more, it is not certain whether it is the blood of Princess Shan!From what my father said, it is not known whether the so-called biological father is really his biological father.

"What did you say?!" Zhou Wende was furious, and suddenly slapped the desk, "There are three unfilial traits, and having no descendants is the biggest! You have followed Guiguzi for many years, so it's possible that you still don't understand this ritual!"

Zhou Boya suddenly knelt down and kowtowed heavily, "Father, please forgive my son!"

——Thinking that he never changed his mind towards Le Ya when he didn't understand his own background, now that he and Le Ya are probably not brothers, how could he change?
