Please, I Just Want to Be the Cousin

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....

Chapter 123 Zhou Wencan Watches the Fun

Although Zhou Wenfu really didn't want to pay attention to his parents, he also knew the consequences of his disregard. This body would definitely be tortured by the imperial physician again.

He didn't want to be a cripple in the future. The imperial physician said that his leg was just dislocated and injured. If he took good care of it, it would recover in the future.

"Dad..." Zhou Wenfu almost burst into tears when he said the word "Dad". He felt really wronged this time.

But when Zhou Wenfu saw his elder brother standing next to him, who had a terrifying yet gentle smile, he forced himself to hold back his tears.

Marquis Cheng En glared at the eldest brother who was watching the fun with a smile, then held Zhou Wenfu's hand and comforted him, "You have suffered, Dad, Dad will compensate you."

Zhou Wenfu originally thought that since he had done this, his father would at least give his eldest brother a beating, but in the end, he only received one sentence, "Dad will compensate you."

Zhou Wenfu knew the smile on his elder brother's face without even looking at him, so he could only turn his head away in embarrassment.

He shouldn't have any expectations of this parent-child couple. It's always like this. They just want compensation, no matter how much suffering they endure.

Marquis Cheng'en was so embarrassed by his youngest son that he could only yell at his eldest son next to him, "Your brother is like this, and you're still laughing. Do you still have any brotherly love left? You..."

"Father, please think it over first." Zhou Wencan looked at his third brother Zhou Wenfu's other leg carelessly. Zhou Wenfu's body shook uncontrollably. This body of his had memories of being bullied by his eldest brother.

Zhou Wenfu had never been so embarrassed before. He grabbed the things on the bed and threw them at Lady Liu, the wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en, out of control. "Go, go, all of you go!"

He only dared to hit his mother, who spoiled him the most. He didn't dare to hit his elder brother and father.

Sun, who was in the corner, saw what happened to her mother-in-law and was glad that she was pushed into the corner by her mother-in-law. Otherwise, she would be the one to be lashed out at.

Seeing that Zhou Wenfu had lost control of his emotions, Marquis Cheng'en and his companions had no choice but to retreat.

As soon as she left Zhou Wenfu's room, she saw Sun following him. She was furious. As Fu'er's wife, why did she follow him out instead of staying inside to take care of him?

Liu pointed at Sun angrily and cursed, "This is all your fault. Go kneel down in front of Fu'er's bed."

Sun was also very helpless at this time. She didn't understand why it was her fault that her husband broke his leg. She could only look to Marquis Cheng'en for help.

Marquis Cheng'en was also blaming the third son's wife at this time. He had urged the third son to be the housekeeper, but when the power of housekeeping was given to her, she couldn't manage it well and only kept angering those crazy people in the first house.

If it weren't for the fact that he, as a father-in-law, couldn't interfere in the affairs of the inner court, he would have wanted to make the third daughter-in-law kneel outside the ancestral hall. Therefore, Marquis Cheng'en completely ignored Sun's plea for help.

Seeing this, Sun had nothing to understand and could only go back in silently.

As soon as Sun entered, something flew towards her and hit her forehead directly. There was no bleeding, but she still felt the pain. She looked at Zhou Wenfu with bared teeth and asked, "What are you crazy about?"

"Didn't mother tell you to kneel down by my bed? Just kneel down! It's you who caused this trouble anyway, so kneeling down won't be unfair to you."

At this time, Zhou Wenfu was extremely regretful. Why did he help Sun to get the power of steward? How many troubles had happened to him since Sun took over the mansion?

When Sun heard Zhou Wenfu say this, her arrogance immediately disappeared and she could only kneel quietly beside Zhou Wenfu's bed.

She had never imagined that simply not holding a coming-of-age ceremony for a granddaughter who was about to get married would lead to so many problems. If she had known this would happen, she would have gritted her teeth and held it for that damn girl.

Zhou Wencan, who was in the courtyard, saw that he had finished watching the excitement and bowed to leave. He thought that if he returned now, he could still catch up with his wife and daughter for dinner. At this time, his clever daughter must have been waiting in the main courtyard, just waiting for him to return.

"Boss, don't go yet. Did you pierce Fu'er's leg?" Liu had obviously already convicted Zhou Wencan in her heart. She asked this question just to convict him.

Liu always felt that she was Zhou Wencan's biological mother. No matter how much she did, in this era where filial piety was paramount, what could he do? She could only hold it in.

"Mother, you need evidence for what you say. Today is my son's day off, and I didn't go out. Who knows where my third brother went fooling around and who he offended? Or maybe he's a loser who can't even ride a horse properly. Can you blame me for that?"

Out of her own partiality, the mother arbitrarily pinned charges on her son, and the son had no choice but to go to the palace to ask the emperor for comment."

Zhou Wencan said this with righteous words. Anyway, he was not afraid of the investigation, and no one could put the blame on him.

Liu pointed at Zhou Wencan with a trembling hand. She couldn't believe that her obedient son had become like this. "How dare you talk to me like that? I'm your mother!"

Before Zhou Wencan could say anything, Marquis Cheng En quickly interrupted him and said, "Boss, stop now and step back!"

Liu looked at Marquis Cheng'en while crying, "My Lord, but Fu'er..."

In fact, Liu didn't know whether it was her eldest son Zhou Wencan who did this, but she was smart and wanted Zhou Wencan to admit it, so that she could use it as a handle to control her eldest son in the future.

Marquis Cheng'en simply waved his hand at Zhou Wencan, signaling him to get out.

Zhou Wencan bowed and left quickly. If he didn't leave now, his beloved daughter would be getting impatient waiting to hear his gossip.

When Marquis Cheng'en saw his eldest son leave, he personally stepped forward to support Liu and said, "Forget it, Can'er is grown up now, and we can't control him anymore."

Liu looked at the Marquis in confusion, "Marquis, Can'er used to be so filial and obedient. He basically did whatever I said. What happened recently? Was it his wife, Jin, who instigated this?"

The more Liu spoke, the angrier she became. No wonder she always disliked Jin. It turned out that she was a troublemaker.

Marquis Cheng'en no longer wants to create trouble. Even his youngest son now blames them for not being able to protect him. If this continues, he will be in trouble both internally and externally.

He didn't want to be watched by Yuan An's old friends and sworn enemies even when he was old. So he said truthfully, "No, it's just that the boss has grown too powerful and doesn't want to pretend anymore."

"Ah? The eldest brother was just pretending before. He's really cruel! Don't bother the eldest brother anymore. Otherwise, how will the third brother cope with it? I'm afraid he'll blame us in the future. You have to accept your age when you get old."

When Marquis Cheng'en said this, his face was full of loneliness. Who is not afraid of getting old, and who is not afraid of death?

Liu looked at the Marquis like this, her heart filled with sadness, "Yes! We are both old now, I will listen to you from now on."
