Zhou Qiongyue only wanted to lie flat and chill—
Instead, she transmigrated into a novel she once read, full of backstabbing household drama.
Worse yet, she wasn’t even the heroine....
Sun Shi was really afraid to say anything after being criticized. She could only reach out and help her mother-in-law get on the carriage. After all, she was now in charge of the household affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, and many holes were filled by her mother-in-law!
Zhou Qiongyue left her grandmother and got directly into her mother Jin's carriage. As soon as she got on, she saw her fifth brother Zhou Zhiquan was there too.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't care about anything else and leaned against the wall of the carriage without any image.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhiquan directly stuffed a cup of warm water into his sister's hand and said, "Sister, why do you feel different today?"
"What's changed?" Zhou Qiongyue asked casually.
Zhou Zhiquan touched his head and thought for a long time before he finally said, "It seems my temper has improved."
Zhou Qiongyue drank the water in her hand and then said something shocking, "It's mainly because my grandfather gave me too much."
"Ah?" Zhou Zhiquan looked at his sister in surprise. Was this what he heard?
Zhou Zhiquan looked at his sister's casual eyes and added, "How much did your grandfather give you?"
Jin used her teacup to conceal her understanding. When she heard her youngest son ask this, she looked at her daughter curiously. Who doesn't have a curious heart?
Under the gazes of her mother and brother, Zhou Qiongyue swiftly extended two fingers.
Zhou Zhiquan guessed clearly, "Two thousand taels, Grandfather really has a lot of money. Why didn't Grandfather ask me for such a good thing? I can do it very well too."
Jin waited until her son finished mumbling before she confided her guess, "Twenty thousand taels!"
When Zhou Zhiquan heard his mother guess twenty thousand taels, he looked at his sister with light in his eyes.
Seeing the two people's reactions, Zhou Qiongyue didn't dare to say that she had received 200,000 taels, and could only nod against her will.
Zhou Zhiquan stood up immediately in surprise, and then, under the gazes of Zhou Qiongyue and Jin, he bumped into the roof of the carriage with a bang.
Zhou Qiongyue and Jin both looked at Zhou Zhiquan with amusement. Zhou Zhiquan completely ignored his sister and mother's gazes, covering his head with one hand, and did not forget to exclaim, "Twenty thousand taels, my God! Is it too late for me to start being a disobedient grandson now?"
Zhou Qiongyue looked at the funny Fifth Brother and couldn't help but hit him: "It's probably too late for you!"
Jin was even more direct. "Just because your grandfather is reluctant to punish your sister doesn't mean he won't punish you. Don't dream on."
In some ways, the identity of the second legitimate son is not as important as that of the only legitimate daughter.
Zhou Zhiquan didn't really want it; he didn't have much money to spend right now. He was just envious and joking.
So Zhou Zhiquan pretended to be disappointed, but his poor acting skills successfully made his sister and mother laugh.
Zhou Qiongyue took out a silver note worth one thousand taels from her purse and placed it directly in Fifth Brother's arms. "Take the flowers."
Zhou Zhiquan picked it up and took a look. Seeing that it was so big, he immediately wanted to put it back to his sister, "How can I use your money? I have my own money."
Zhou Qiongyue stepped aside and said, "Fifth brother, take it! I made a small fortune recently, and I'm giving it to my eldest brother, my parents, and everyone should share in the good news."
After she finished speaking, she stuffed another one into her mother Jin's hand and said, "To bring you good luck."
Seeing that her daughter was giving it sincerely, Jin Shi did not refuse and put it directly into her purse. Jin Shi felt that she should save the banknote given by her daughter, which had a different meaning.
When Zhou Zhiquan saw his mother put it away, he also put it away carefully, with a huge smile on his face.
"Thank you, sister!"
Zhou Zhiquan felt that no one was as caring as his sister, and that Yuan Bohua was really lucky.
At this time, Yuan Bohua was still following the Second Prince on the way to the Left Prime Minister's Mansion to welcome the bride!
Zhou Qiongyue and the others went directly into the palace to watch the ceremony, and then had lunch in the palace before leaving.
When the Second Prince got married, he brought his consort directly to the palace for a ceremony. The ceremony was only slightly less grand than the Crown Prince's, but it was definitely more grand than the First Prince's wedding. After all, he was the legitimate son of the Empress Dowager and held a noble status.
Although the Second Prince was getting married in the palace, he had to move out of the palace and set up his own residence just like the First Prince. The Second Prince's residence had already been renovated and was waiting for him to move out after his wedding.
The Emperor is in his prime and has shown no interest in appointing a crown prince. Therefore, once an adult prince marries, he must move to the palace to live.
The Second Prince was also looking forward to leaving the palace and being the master of his own house. After leaving the palace and setting up his own residence, the Emperor tacitly agreed that the prince could have his own property.
If you want to have a good future, you need money to pave the way everywhere.
As Zhou Qiongyue and her group made their way to the palace, it was bustling with activity and even had a huge carriage jam. By the time Zhou Qiongyue and her group successfully reached the palace, the Second Prince had already returned from picking up his bride.
Of course, Zhou Qiongyue initially followed Jin to join in the fun, but later on, Jin was surrounded by various ladies, and it would be inconvenient for Zhou Qiongyue, an unmarried lady, to stay here any longer.
She could only find a relatively less crowded place to sit and eat, but just after she sat there for a while, Prince Fu'an Yuan Bohua sat down opposite Zhou Qiongyue.
Although they are on the same table, the distance between them is not too close.
Yuan Bohua stopped Zhou Qiongyue from standing up to salute and asked with a smile, "When did you come back?"
Zhou Qiongyue watched Yuan Bohua rubbing his forehead with his hand and asked with concern, "Your Highness has only been back for two or three days. Is he drunk?"
"Yes, I drank a little too much." Yuan Bohua did not deny it. He just pretended to stare at the food on the table, but in fact he occasionally glanced at Zhou Qiongyue opposite him.
He hadn't seen Zhou Qiongyue for a long time. When Zhou Qiongyue was in the Marquis' Mansion, he could still find an excuse to visit her.
