Chapter 781: Chapter 699, Reactions of Various Families (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_1

The army was returning to the capital, Xiao Yeyang was coming back to Beijing, and this day was destined to be unsettled.

Zhou Residence.

With Vice Minister Zhou imprisoned, the senior master of the Zhou Family and his wife, Zhou Chengye, had come to Beijing since the beginning of the year. At this moment, everyone in the Zhou Family had gathered at Grandfather Zhou’s side.

Grandfather Zhou, his face marred by illness, sat in his lounge chair. Looking at his eldest son who was unable to shoulder responsibilities, and his grandson who had yet to go through much in life, he sighed deeply and forced himself to swallow his medicine.

The second son was still in prison; he couldn’t afford to collapse now.

Only after he finished did Senior Master Zhou speak up, "Father, since the army has returned to the capital today, with them are Little Prince, Wentao, and Wenkai. It’s said that the three have accomplished great deeds at the Northern Frontier and are now part of the Jinling Guard. Should we let Chengye visit the Yan Family?"

Grandfather Zhou shook his head, "The Yan Family has just arrived in Beijing. They haven’t sorted out their people and affairs yet, and might not be able to help us."

Zhou Chengye’s wife hurriedly added, "The Yan official might not be able to help much, but Wentao and Wenkai of the Jinling Guard definitely can."

Grandfather Zhou remained silent, casting a glance at Madam Zhou who remained quiet.

Senior Master Zhou also recalled how their family had once rejected Wentao, and looked uneasy.

Seeing his parents like this, Zhou Chengye spoke, "Why don’t I go see Wentao and Wenkai? It’s been a long time since we’ve met."

After thinking for a moment, Grandfather Zhou waved his hand dismissively, "There’s no rush."

At those words, Zhou Chengye’s wife became anxious, "Father, how can we not rush? The situation in the Northern Frontier has been settled, and soon the Emperor will surely be investigating the matters of the Eight Princes’ Party. Once the Ministry of Justice sentences my husband, it’ll be too late to do anything."

Grandfather Zhou glanced at the haggard Zhou Chengye’s wife and didn’t take her attitude to heart, explaining, "Favors are diminished with each use; some must be saved for critical moments."

"Besides, now that the second son is locked up in the Ministry of Justice’s dungeons, he’s being questioned by their personnel. Even though Wentao and Wenkai are part of the Jinling Guard, they may not be able to intervene. We must wait for the right moment."

"To recklessly deplete our good will, and in the end, still possibly fail to save the second son would be of no benefit."

Zhou Chengye’s wife wiped the tears from her face, "Father, it was my recklessness."

Grandfather Zhou said nothing; the wife of the second son had been hard-pressed these days, and with the main branch of the family not often residing in Beijing, many affairs relied solely on her.
