I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Chapter 265 Stop Trying To Scare Me

265 Stop Trying To Scare Me
However, just like every time his brother caused trouble in the past, his mother didn’t listen to his advice or explanation at all and directly blamed him.
“Stop trying to scare me! What do you want from your brother?
Now that the entire Zhou family’s army is in your hands, you’re even more impressive than your brother. What else do you want?
Do you know how miserable your brother is?
He only does some small business deals to pass the time. You can’t even tolerate this now?
Do you want to force me and your brother to our deaths?
“Alright, then your brother and I will die now! We won’t continue to stay here and be an eyesore, okay?”
How could Madam Zhou listen to Zhou Hengchang’s explanation? She had always been used to believing only what she saw and what she wanted to see! Even if the truth was in front of her, as long as she didn’t listen or look at it, it didn’t exist!
This was how she had reacted after countless incidents anyway.
Things never went wrong!
However, to Zhou Wen’s surprise, her cries seemed to be useless this time because Zhou Hengchang didn’t want to indulge her at all this time!
“Anhe, send Madam back to rest!” Seeing that she couldn’t be reasoned with, Zhou Hengchang couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath. He instructed the servant beside him to send his stupid mother out first.
However, if Zhou Wen was so easy to deal with, she wouldn’t have been lording over Zhou Hengchang’s head for so many years. Sure enough, before Anhe could reach out to help her, Zhou Wen had already scratched Anhe’s face a few times.
“Get lost. How dare you touch me?!
“You unfilial son, if you want to attack your brother, you have to beat me to death first!”
In terms of acting shamelessly, Zhou Wen was definitely an expert. Actually, the reason wasn’t complicated. Back then, when Marquis Suining was fighting wars with the late emperor, the Zhou family was just an ordinary family!
The woman his son married was a woman from the same village.
However, later on, when the Zhou family became rich, Zhou Wen became the wife of the Marquis Suining!
Her identity had changed, but her habit hadn’t changed much. She liked to throw tantrums whenever she encountered trouble. She was still the same as before!
“Alright, then the entire Zhou family will be buried with you!” Zhou Hengchang was so angry that his head ached. Under the Zhou family’s pestering, he finally couldn’t help but roar, “Mother, do you really want to watch our family be exterminated?!”
“Hengchang, what nonsense are you talking about?!” After receiving the news, Marquis Suining, who was as plump as Zhou Hengyuan, rushed over. He was still panting as he held the door frame, but he caught Zhou Hengchang’s last sentence.
He was different from his wife, who was best at pestering others. Although he was biased towards his eldest son, who had the same hobbies as him, he more or less knew his priorities.
At least, he could tell right from wrong!
If the Zhou family was gone, it would be useless no matter how much his eldest son hit it off with him. Without money to squander, everything was useless!
“Stop fooling around. Let’s hear what Hengchang has to say first!” After panting for a while, Marquis Suining heard his wife wailing beside him, so he frowned and turned to shout at her.
Zhou Wen dared to cause trouble in front of Zhou Hengchang, but in the face of Marquis Sui Ning’s anger, she instantly acted like a mouse that had seen a cat. Even if she felt aggrieved and resentful, she didn’t dare to say anything at this moment.
Zhou Hengchang took a deep breath and suppressed the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart. He tried his best to sound calm as he said, “My brother colluded with the northern barbarians and threw the addictive hemp leaves into the Zhou family’s army’s rations!”
“His idea is to get these soldiers of the Zhou family’s army addicted first, then use the leaves to control them and make them listen to his orders!”
“Isn’t that good? What’s the problem?! Besides, even if he did this, he was forced by you! If you had handed the Zhou family’s military commander position to your brother earlier, would he have thought of this method?!”
After hearing Zhou Hengchang’s story, Zhou Wen, who originally thought that something big had happened, couldn’t help but mutter, “Didn’t you come back to cause trouble because your brother found a way to control the Zhou family’s army and wanted to take you down?!”
“Mother, do you know what kind of harm it will do if you get addicted to this hemp leaf?!” Zhou Hengchang clenched his fists and glared at his mother, who brushed over this crisis so casually. He said word by word, “A soldier who gets addicted to hemp leaves will eventually lose all their combat strength!
Our family’s army will only become a bunch of useless people from then on!
If the northern barbarians attack our defense area again at that time, what will we use to resist them?!
“Have you thought about what will happen to our family if those northern barbarian troops really enter our defense area?
Internal communication with foreign enemies is treason!”
Zhou Hengchang’s last sentence was filled with despair. “The glory my grandfather obtained through fighting will be destroyed in our hands!
“If future generations mention our family again, they won’t think of our meritorious deeds at all. They will only think that we’re criminals who colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. We’ll be scumbags that everyone will spit at!”
“It’s not that serious, is it?” This was the first time Zhou Wenshi had been frightened by Zhou Hengchang’s words. She subconsciously turned to look at her husband, who was standing at the door with a pale face. After thinking for a moment, she continued to place her hopes on the son in her arms. “Heng’er, say something. Is what your brother said true?!
“Did you really do these things?!”
“I-I didn’t know that person was a northern barbarian!” Zhou Hengyuan was really frightened now.
Previously, he had only heard about the plan offered by that person, but he didn’t expect such consequences! Moreover, that person only told him that the hemp leaf was useful, but didn’t tell him that there would be such terrifying consequences if it was used!
Besides, it was Zhou Hengchang’s fault!
At the thought of this, Zhou Hengyuan sat up. He straightened his neck and glared at Zhou Hengchang as he said, “Don’t push all the blame on me! Aren’t you responsible at all?!
I’m the heir, but until now, you haven’t even let me into the Zhou family’s military camp at all. You forced me to do this!”
