Zhou Qiongyue looked carefully and saw that it was really no worse than hers. Her frown relaxed and she said, "Mom, you and Dad are amazing. You are so kind."

Jin looked at her graceful daughter in front of her and felt extremely reluctant to let her go. The daughter whom she and the prince had raised with care since childhood was also going to get married.

Although she didn't have the idea that a married daughter is like spilled water, after all, a married woman's life is different. Even returning to her parents' home requires choosing a specific date, and apart from various banquets, they really only see each other a few times a year.

Thinking about this, Jin couldn't help but feel unhappy. "Our Yue'er has grown up now. Don't worry, your mother will hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for you. Take a good look at the dowry list. If you want anything else, your parents will find a way for you."

When Jin said this, her eyes darkened, but Zhou Qiongyue was also very sad at the moment, and she didn't want to get married. So Zhou Qiongyue didn't see the anger in Jin's eyes.

Jin wasn't angry about her daughter getting married; she was mad that Sun, who was in charge of the household expenses, didn't want to give her daughter a grand coming-of-age ceremony. One explanation was that the Marquis's Mansion was short on funds, and there had been many major events to attend to over the past two years.

She will always find a way to deal with Sun. Don't think that just because she is in charge of the household expenses, the mansion will really belong to their third branch.

"Listen to mother." Zhou Qiongyue would never say that there is no need to be too grand. Most of the money spent is from the public money anyway. If the eldest wife doesn't spend it, then others will have to spend it.

Seeing her daughter like this, Jin's worries were temporarily gone. "You clever little girl."

"Mother, let's find a reason to send some of my dowry to the Prince of Fu'an's Palace in advance! Anyway, we just need the dowry list. We can also discuss with the other party about my eldest brother's dowry and keep a low profile.

If that thing is true, we will be too conspicuous and attract attention."

Zhou Qiongyue had never experienced such a severe drought, and she didn't know what human nature would become by then.

But she still wanted to keep a low profile. After all, if she had to show off such a large dowry in public, who knew if anyone would bring it up. It would make people think they were rich, which was not good after all.

When her daughter said this, Jin Shi didn't agree immediately. She just thought for a while before comforting her daughter, "Don't worry about these things. Mother will discuss it with your father."

Zhou Qiongyue nodded in relief when she heard her mother say this. Mother and father wouldn't harm her anyway.

"Mom, my eldest brother is getting married. What do you think I should give him as a gift?"

Zhou Qiongyue really didn't know what to give her. She didn't think her brother would accept a farm or a shop, and she didn't think he would accept silver notes. She didn't have any good ideas for anything else.

When Jin heard her daughter's words, she knew she was about to spill some goodies, so she quickly stopped her, "You're being too generous! You're the younger sister, and your elder brother is getting married. You, as the younger sister-in-law, don't have to give anything."

"You don't have to send anything, that would be bad, right?" Zhou Qiongyue was not refusing, she really felt it was not good. After all, he was her biological brother, and her eldest brother also gave him something for her.

"Then find a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants in your storeroom! Then give them to your eldest brother and sister-in-law. They should be very happy. They don't have to be very good."

Jin was afraid that what her daughter gave her was too good.

It wasn't that Jin was partial to her daughter, but rather that she had spent a lot of time in the palace since she was little, and sometimes her sister-in-law and the emperor would give her some good things. She had always been quite generous, giving her two brothers anything that suited them.

Her daughter has given her a lot over the years, but she is just afraid that her son's appetite will be too big, especially now that there is another daughter-in-law.

It’s okay to maintain the friendship between siblings, but if it becomes too much, it’s not necessarily a good thing.

Zhou Qiongyue didn't take her mother's words to heart. She planned to ask Gulan to open her private vault when she returned. Just because her eldest brother had rushed to save her without hesitation that day when she fell into the water, he deserved a good gift from her.

Seeing her daughter like this, Jin knew that she hadn't listened. She could only pat her daughter's hand with a little force.

Seeing her daughter looking at her in confusion, Jin could only ask again with a serious tone, "Did you hear what I said?"

"Mom, I know what you mean. But I remember the last time I fell into the water, my elder brother jumped in to save me without hesitation. Now that my elder brother is getting married, I want to give him something good.

As for my future sister-in-law, she's marrying into this unfamiliar place, our Marquis' Mansion, so we should be the first to show her goodwill. As for what's going to happen in the future? Let's get along first, then we'll talk."

Zhou Qiongyue hopes that their whole family can live in harmony, and there is no reason for women to make things difficult for other women.

After hearing her daughter's words, Jin was also stunned. Although she had no intention of setting any rules to torture her daughter-in-law, she also did not really want to treat her daughter-in-law like a daughter.

But after her daughter said that, she felt that she should show her kindness first, because a harmonious family is the key to success. As for the possibility of a falling out after she showed her kindness, she was not a pushover, so she would have to make peace even if she couldn't.

"Our Yue'er is the best sister!"

Jin was proud to have such a daughter.

Zhou Qiongyue also covered her mouth and smiled as she praised Jin, "Mom is also the best mother and mother-in-law!"

For a moment, the Jin family's yard was filled with the laughter of Jin and her daughter Zhou Qiongyue.

Zhou Qiongyue stayed at her mother Jin's house for the entire morning, chatting about many things. Even after lunch, Zhou Qiongyue still didn't want to leave, but Jin persuaded her to leave.

In fact, Jin has been extremely busy recently. She wishes she had a few more hands. It is already her limit that she can spare some time to chat with her daughter this morning.

As soon as Zhou Qiongyue brought her people back to Qiongyue Pavilion, she immediately ordered Gulan to open the private warehouse. She personally took four maids to pick and choose in it.

Zhou Qiongyue feels that giving something sincerely and the process of choosing it is also a happy thing.

That night, Marquis Cheng'en rested in the main courtyard of the Liu family's house. He and his wife were about to go to bed when someone came in to report that the master wanted to see him.

Marquis Cheng'en was still very confused. He came back with the boss today. What was there that he didn't tell them on the way?

However, Marquis Cheng'en was afraid that something urgent might happen, so he and Liu went to the main house to meet Zhou Wencan.

As soon as Zhou Wencan entered, he saluted meticulously, "Son greets father and mother!"

Marquis Cheng'en was exhausted after a long day outside and couldn't help but yawn. "Get up! Tell me what you want to say!"

"I'm here to confirm with my parents whether the Marquis' Mansion is truly unwilling to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for Yue'er. If so, I'll let my family do it on our own!"
