Chapter 293: Third Brother
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Before Su Chong could react, Su Hua and Zhou Heng had already sensed that something was wrong.
Liu Zijin walked towards Wang Huilan. “Madam.”
Wang Huilan stood up with a smile. “You’re back. I asked for a Peace Talisman for you.”
Liu Zijin looked at Zhou Zhi and asked in confusion, “This is?”
Zhou Zhi quickly attracted the attention of Su Chong and the others.
Zhou Zhi’s gaze landed on Su Chong, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng. He smiled faintly and said frankly, “Hello, my name is Zhou Zhi. I met the divine doctor by chance and specially came to seek treatment.”
Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, I’m Master’s disciple after all. It’s normal for someone to ask for help. Don’t make a fuss.”
The name Zhou Zhi surprised Su Chong and Su Hua. They had many questions in their hearts, but at this moment, their expressions were normal.
“You’re here to seek medical help. Then just ask Xiaolu. The three of us don’t understand this.”
Su Chong smiled and touched her head.
Su Xiaolu had never called Zhou Heng Third Brother. There must be a reason why she called him that now.
Su Hua’s expression was calm as well. He smiled faintly and echoed, “So you’re here to seek treatment from Xiaolu. I wonder if you’re feeling unwell?”
Zhou Zhi’s expression was calm as he said calmly, “My legs are uncomfortable and always hurt. I want to see if there’s any way to ease it.”
Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu. “Miss Su, can you take a look? Money is no problem.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi. Their eyes met and Su Xiaolu felt that he was very dangerous. She was very vigilant and did not dare to relax at all. She smiled and nodded. “Sure, but I’ve already seen a patient today. I’m tired. Come back tomorrow. How about I take a look then?”
Su Xiaolu was already prepared to attack. If Zhou Zhi had to make things difficult for her, she would not be afraid. In broad daylight, no matter how powerful Zhou Zhi was, he could not kill people casually.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhi smiled warmly and nodded. “Alright, I didn’t consider it carefully. I’ll come over tomorrow morning.”
Zhou Zhi stood up and walked towards Su Hua and the rest calmly.
Su Xiaolu held Su Hua and Zhou Heng’s arms and made way.
Zhou Zhi did not leave quickly nor did he do anything strange. He left just like that, like he did in Qinglian Monastery.
Zhou Zhi left the inn. Su Xiaolu watched him walk to a carriage not far away and get into it. After the carriage left, Su Xiaolu heaved a sigh of relief.
She looked at Zhou Heng and said, “Let’s go back to the room and talk in detail.”
Su Xiaolu knew that Zhou Heng’s heart was in a mess. Although Zhou Heng looked calm, in fact, ever since he knew that it was Zhou Zhi, his entire body had tensed up and stiffened.
If they had not met Zhou Zhi, they might not have needed Zhou Heng to explain. However, they had already met Zhou Zhi. They were related to Zhou Heng, so they had to make this matter clear.
Liu Zijin spoke first. “Then we’ll go back to our rooms too. Let’s eat together later.”
Liu Zijin brought Wang Huilan back to her room. He could feel that there was something going on and Su Chong and Su Hua did not know about it. Liu Zijin knew that they needed private space.
Su Chong nodded at Liu Zijin.
Liu Zijin brought Wang Huilan upstairs to her room.
Su Chong looked at Zhou Heng and said, “Let’s go back to our room first.”
The few of them went upstairs together.
Zhou Heng’s heart was heavy.
Zhou Zhi’s name set off huge waves in his heart.
He knew that Su Xiaolu was protecting him. He had never thought that he would meet Zhou Zhi in Furongzhou. Everything caught him off guard. He could not expose his identity. Once it was exposed, he would probably not live to go to the capital.
Zhou Heng felt extremely guilty. Su Chong and Su Hua did not know anything about him hiding it from them, but they protected him firmly.
Zhou Heng looked at Su Xiaolu. Su Xiaolu clearly already knew. She was so smart and should know how dangerous they were now, but she still called him Third Brother in front of Zhou Zhi.
Zhou Heng was in a mess.
After returning to his room and closing the door, Zhou Heng looked at the three of them apologetically and said, “Chong, Hua, and Xiaolu, thank you for protecting me. I want to apologize to you. That Zhou Zhi just now is my biological brother.”
Su Chong frowned. “I guessed that, but why didn’t you acknowledge each other?”
Su Chong was very puzzled. He remembered that Zhou Heng had said that he had a younger brother called Zhou Zhi. They were twins. Now that they met, they did not acknowledge each other, but they were acting like enemies.
Su Hua looked at Zhou Heng and said calmly, “Little Brother Heng, tell me.”
Zhou Heng looked at Su Chong and Su Hua with sadness in his eyes. He slowly told Su Chong and Su Hua about his identity and Zhou Zhi’s identity in detail, including how they had received Master Zhiming’s orders and how he had been secretly harmed and escaped after that.
His legs had recovered, but Zhou Zhi’s legs could no longer recover.
His own brother hated him and wanted his life.
After all the difficulties were resolved, Zhou Zhi stopped him from returning home. For the throne, he did not hesitate to kill him. This was an eternal pain in his heart.
Zhou Heng lowered his eyes and hid the hidden hurt in them. He said, “I wanted to tell you about this after the village examination. I didn’t expect to meet him in Furongzhou.”
“What’s wrong with that? You’re also our family. Moreover, Brother Hua and I are going to enter the capital in the future. We can’t avoid him no matter what. We’ll hide your identity for as long as we can. Now that you’re our Third Brother, he won’t dare to do anything to you.”
Su Chong said firmly. He had always treated Zhou Heng as his family and was also someone he protected.
Su Hua looked at Zhou Heng and said, “This matter isn’t that complicated. He’s targeting you, and you’re our brother now. It’s best if he believes us. If he doesn’t, it won’t be so simple for him to touch you.”
“You’ll be called Su Heng for the time being. During the exam, hide. No matter how powerful he is, he’s not God. With us protecting you, he won’t be able to find a chance to hurt you.”
Su Hua also decided to protect Zhou Heng to the end. He was not doing it for the country. It was just that Zhou Heng had grown up with them. They could not just watch him be in danger.
Su Hua asked Su Xiaolu, “Xiaolu, when did you know?”
Su Chong also looked at Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu said truthfully, “Master told me when he brought me to train two years ago.”
Su Chong rubbed Su Xiaolu’s hair. She knew about such a big matter. She hid it so well that no one in the family noticed.
They all knew that Zhou Heng had something on his mind. Since he was unwilling to say it, they naturally would not interrogate him.
In fact, they had also thought that Zhou Heng’s status was noble, but they did not expect him to be so noble. He was actually a prince, and his mother was the empress. He was the person most likely to become the emperor in the future.
