Zhou Lean has her own thoughts. The more Zhou Leping disagrees, the more determined her thoughts become, ”I am also doing this for our Zhou Family. If Lin Xiafu wants to enter the palace, the emperor would not treat her coldly when he sees the empress and Lin Jing. The Lin Family already has a empress.

”Then you still can't enter the palace!”

”You've already offended Lin Jing in the fund-raising, he will definitely think of a way to take revenge. There's clearly such a chance right now, Sis, don't be stubborn anymore!”

Zhou Leping's attitude was resolute from the beginning to end, and only said those words, ”No, don't even think about it! Our family has not reached the point where we can only protect our dignity by sacrificing you! ”

Zhou Leqi had the same attitude as Zhou Leping, but he could not interject.

Zhu Guanliang could tell what was going on, and he could even sense what they were going to talk about.

Zhou Leping: ”You think that entering the palace will solve all of your problems easily? You also know that Lin Jing wants to take revenge on me, and that the current Empress is his daughter. Then, have you ever thought about what the Queen would do to you after you enter the palace? Do you think she can be so magnanimous as to allow her enemy's sister to enter the palace and fight for her favor? ”

”Your majesty cannot allow the Lin Family to cover the sky with one hand, maybe your majesty still hopes for me to enter the palace. This will frustrate the Empress's spirit, and if I gain power in the future, it'll be much easier for your majesty to deal with Lin Jing!”

Zhou Leping: ”If I say no, then no. You better stay at home properly, you're not allowed to go anywhere!”

Zhou Lean: ”Don't think that I don't know why you refused to allow me to enter the palace. You were just thinking about the Emperor and you even liked him, so you didn't want me to enter the palace.

Zhou Leqi slapped the table and stood up, he was furious, ”Shut up!”

Zhou Lean was indignant, ”Why aren't you letting me say it!”

”I told you to shut up!” For the first time in his life, Zhou Leqi struck Zhou Lean.

Zhou Lean looked at Zhou Leqi in disbelief, then looked at Zhou Leping, his eyes filled with unwillingness and hatred.

Zhou Leping's body suddenly stiffened, he did not say a word, and practically staggered away.

Zhu Guanliang followed her through the long corridor and arrived at the small garden.

The garden was not big, but it was very unique. She stood in front of a lotus pond made of limestone, facing the setting sun with her hands behind her back. She silently pondered.

Zhu Guanliang was not far from her, and seeing her standing upright, he guessed that she was crying.

”Why are you following me?”

After a long while, she turned around. Her expression was the same as always, there were no traces of tears on her face.

”Having lived in the General's Estate for so long, this is the first time I've seen such a scenery.”

”You don't think I'm here to cry, do you?” She sighed sadly. ”Does it matter what kind of woman makes a man's impression that it's just a matter of crying?”
