Chapter 678 Zhou Family Dispute
Chapter 678 Zhou Family Dispute
"But, I heard that His Majesty has been staying in Kunning Palace these days. The Empress's surname is also Zhou?! If she really hates the Zhou family, then doesn't the Empress fall into this category?"
Zhou's mother still felt that what she thought was right.
Your Majesty has not been to the harem for quite some time.
Just as Zhou Tingting's matter was not deliberately suppressed, the matter of His Majesty staying overnight in Kunning Palace was also not suppressed.
The emperor and empress haven't shared the same room for a long time. How could they not become the focus when they stayed together for so many days in a row?
Zhou Mao really felt that all the words he had just said were in vain.
But the people in front of him were his parents, his blood relatives, so he had to speak again, "Mother, can you understand that the Queen is the Queen, and the Zhou family is the Zhou family?!"
"The Zhou family is not equal to the Queen, and the Queen is not equal to the Zhou family?!"
"Tingting's matter is a warning to us, and it is also a warning to the Queen. Isn't the fact that Tingting ended up like this enough to explain the Queen's position?"
"Mother, have you really forgotten that father is just a bastard of the Zhou family? There is more than one layer between us and the Queen?!"
Zhou Mao's words made Zhou's mother turn pale.
The Zhou family's direct descendants had long since left the capital's social circles, so she had actually forgotten about the issue of the direct descendants over the years.
After all, people in the capital city all call her Madam Zhou, and the Empress Dowager also calls her aunt.
"Then...then...what should we do now?"
Mother Zhou finally became more clear-headed.
"What should we do?" Zhou Mao sneered.
When I had to do something before, I didn't ask for his opinion. I just did it myself.
Now that he has gotten into trouble, he suddenly remembers his son.
"What does father think?"
Zhou Mao kicked the ball to his father who had remained silent.
Zhou's mother also set her eyes on him.
After a long silence, perhaps because Zhou Mao's gaze was too glaring, or perhaps because he had to put on the airs of the head of the family, Zhou's father finally spoke, "After some time, when the storm has passed, I will go to the palace to ask the Queen. Tingting should at least not waste time in the palace like this."
"Hmph~!"
Zhou Mao sneered.
His father really didn't let him down. He kept running until his death!
"why are you laughing!"
Zhou Mao's sneer hurt Zhou's father's sensitive and fragile nerves, and he shouted at his son.
"What am I laughing at?" Zhou Mao was not afraid of his father at all. Instead, he stood up slowly, looked down at him, and said word by word, "If father wants to maintain the current status quo of the Zhou family, wants to save my sister's life, and wants my career not to be ruined halfway, then don't do anything!"
"Don't do anything unnecessary! Don't think about joining forces with anyone to put pressure on His Majesty! Don't think about going to the palace to ask the Queen for mercy! Don't risk the lives of our entire family for an unknown future!"
"You sneering little beast! The one in trouble now is your own sister who is from the same mother! How can you say such a thing!" Zhou's father's authority was challenged, and he was so angry that he was almost furious!
"It's because Zhou Tingting is my biological sister that I say this! As long as the Zhou family stays quiet and doesn't cause trouble for His Majesty or the Queen, Tingting will have a chance to survive!"
"Maybe when the Queen gives birth to a legitimate son, Tingting will have a chance to leave the palace and return home!"
"If father insists on doing what he wants, then the Zhou family... the Zhou family may really be left with nothing in the end..."
After saying that, Zhou Mao walked away in anger, not caring at all how furious his father looked.
