Chapter 9: The Conspiracy of Ashenvale (3)
"What evidence do you have?"
"No!"
Zhou Cheng was really helpless. Although he was concerned about the relationship between brothers, he usually turned a blind eye to Zhou Yan's behavior. However, this incident was indeed a bit exaggerated, and he had to be shaken. After all, this matter involved the lives of many innocent people...
"Yan, listen to my brother. Don't have any relationship with a woman of unknown origin. Beautiful women have always been the source of trouble. The trouble you caused because of her will definitely lead to an unnecessary war. Han Ji is a good woman. Don't let her down again--"
"Yin Yin is not a disaster!!!"
Zhou Yan suddenly exploded when he heard Zhou Cheng's words.
Zhou Yan's voice startled the soldiers outside the tent, but none of them dared to act rashly. Moreover, after hearing the name 'Yin Yin', Zhou Cheng had the biggest reaction...
Zhou Cheng looked a little stunned and said: "... Are you talking about Yinyin?"
Zhou Yan turned his head away. It seemed that he was too impulsive to say the name, but it seemed that he didn't really want Zhou Cheng to know about Yin Yin!
Zhou Cheng said with a somewhat indifferent expression: "...Is the woman you saved Zhang Yinyin?"
There was no response, but Zhou Cheng could guess from Zhou Yan's reaction.
"How ridiculous! She is not dead? You even saved her? Have you forgotten what happened two years ago? How she viciously killed Ru Ting, and now she is trying to kill the Crown Princess of Zhao. A woman like this will only harm people if she lives in the world. Why do you still want to do this?"
Zhou Cheng exploded.
"I believe it wasn't her!"
Zhou Cheng clenched his fists and refuted Zhou Cheng's words!
"Yan, wake up. There is nothing that woman can't do. Maybe she really did what happened to Lin Wei. Where is she now? Hand her over and give her to King Zhao tomorrow."
This was the first time Zhou Cheng was so angry and scolded Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan stood up and said firmly: "I refuse!"
"Are you going to watch the two countries go to war, let innocent people be dragged into this war, and still protect that woman?"
Zhou Cheng was very angry. No matter how wrong Zhou Yan was, Zhou Cheng would certainly not watch Zhou Yan get into trouble, even if a war broke out. But he could not accept the reason of not being allowed. This is the so-called brotherhood, right?
Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, no matter what the result is, I will protect her. Two years ago, I watched her being forced off the cliff by you and I was powerless. Do you know how much I hated myself at that time? I even hated you so much that I wanted to kill you, but I thought of you as my brother and the pain you felt for losing Ru Ting. If I knew that such concerns would make me lose Yin Yin, I would rather save her at all costs. If it weren't for you, Yin Yin wouldn't have been forced to this point today!"
Zhou Cheng was speechless in response to Zhou Yan's words. After Yin Yin fell off the cliff two years ago, Zhou Yan's attitude towards Zhou Cheng became very cold. There were even rumors that they were at odds. To be honest, he didn't want to see such an outcome, but Ru Ting's death made him unable to forget his hatred for Yin Yin. Now...
"Then why did you come?"
Zhou Cheng calmed down and calmed down a little!
"For Yinyin, I don't want her to be accused of being a murderer her whole life. I will prove her innocence, even if it means my hands are covered in blood—"
Since Zhou Cheng's attitude had become much calmer, Zhou Yan's emotions also stabilized a little.
Zhou Cheng said calmly: "Does that mean you will admit in the parliament tomorrow that it was you who rescued Yin Yin?"
Zhou Yan remained silent to show his acknowledgement!
How could Zhou Cheng not know Zhou Yan's feelings for Yin Yin? Zhou Yan had liked Yin Yin very much since he was a child. Even though Yin Yin liked him, he liked Ru Ting in his heart. Although he had not told Ru Ting, from the moment Yin Yin fell off the cliff, Zhou Cheng's heart began to ache for some reason.
In fact, even Zhou Cheng himself didn't know when the figure of Yin Yin appeared in the deepest part of his heart. Although he was full of resentment towards Yin Yin, he was secretly happy in his heart that Yin Yin was still alive.
There will always be calm after silence.
Zhou Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Is she... okay?"
When he asked this question, he didn't know what he was saying, but deep down he had a feeling of wanting to know...
Zhou Yan was a little surprised by Zhou Cheng's words, but he quickly regained his composure and said: "... She is very good, but also very bad. What happened two years ago and the murder of Lin Wei before gave her a great mental shock. She is now in a stage of mental weakness and temporary amnesia. No matter what, I will protect her from now on and will not let her get hurt. Now she only belongs to me!!"
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Zhou Cheng didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He just felt a little heartbroken when he heard about Yin Yin's condition. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes...
Zhou Yan was just telling the truth, and he also said that Yin Yin was his. He hoped that Zhou Cheng would take his position into consideration and stop attacking Yin Yin, because he knew that Zhou Cheng still hated Yin Yin. However, he did not notice the sadness in Zhou Cheng's eyes...
