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 136 Zhou Qiongyue Returns 2

Jin brought Zhou Qiongyue and Cheng Shiyue into the main house of Xieyang Courtyard and said, "Please sit wherever you want." Then she turned around and told people to bring more snacks and fruits that her daughter and daughter-in-law liked.

Zhou Qiongyue and Cheng Shiyue sat on either side of Jin in tacit understanding, one on the left and one on the right. They both smiled as they watched Jin directing the servants to work.

Not to mention Zhou Qiongyue who felt warm, even Cheng Shiyue felt that her mother was like this, she was particularly happy, and her mother was really so good to her.

She wasn't required to get up early every day to pay her respects, nor did she interfere in their affairs, and there were no rules or anything like that. Every time she came to her mother's house, she was served snacks and meals that she liked.

Even on such an important day as my sister-in-law's return home today, my mother has not forgotten what she likes to eat.

Cheng Shiyue thought silently in her heart that she and her husband must be filial to their father and mother in the future. Winter is coming again, so she will make a set of clothes for her father and mother! She still has two bolts of good material.

After Jin had given her instructions, Zhou Qiongyue stepped forward and hugged Jin's arm, "Mom, I've missed you so much these past few days."

Jin patted her daughter's back soothingly. "Your father and I miss you too. Is the prince treating you well?"

Cheng Shiyue, who was sitting next to her, also looked at Zhou Qiongyue with concern.

"Don't worry, mother. The prince treats me very well! Even if there are any changes in the future, I have a plan to deal with it." Zhou Qiongyue is not a person who puts love above everything else. She just thinks that when love comes, you should experience it well, and when love is gone, just be friends reluctantly!

Just like the men and women in the world of the previous life, they can still be friends after breaking up, and she will be a good princess at that time.

But all of this is based on the premise that her interests cannot be harmed, otherwise she would not be a good person.

Upon hearing this, Jin was both happy and a little sad. She was happy that her daughter had finally grown up and would no longer be trapped by love, and she and the prince could feel more at ease.

The sad thing is that my daughter has also changed from a person who puts true love above everything else to the rational person she is now. The psychological process in between must have been very difficult.

Fortunately, her daughter finally made it through. Jin was generous in praising her daughter. "Us women, we must always be clear about what we want. You're doing very well. I'm very proud of you."

Zhou Qiongyue knew what her mother meant and nodded proudly, "Don't worry, mother. I will remember your teachings."

Cheng Shiyue next to her didn't have any special thoughts. Her mother had taught her the same thing before she got married.

The ladies of this era were taught from childhood to observe the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. They were taught to be virtuous and generous if their future husbands took concubines. Cheng Shiyue was also a smart person, so of course she wouldn't say anything like forbidding her husband from taking a concubine.

She just didn't want her eldest son and daughter to come out of other people's wombs. At present, her mother had no intention of taking a concubine for her husband, so she was not in a hurry.

"Don't worry, Mom and Dad! I am no longer the Zhou Qiongyue I used to be." Zhou Qiongyue was just telling the truth.

But Jin reached out and touched Zhou Qiongyue's head with heartache, her eyes full of heartache.

Originally, she shouldn't have said these unhappy things on such a happy day, but her parents love their child and just want her to live a good life.

Cheng Shiyue smiled and livened up the atmosphere, "Don't worry, mother. My sister is very smart!"

"Sister-in-law is right, I am very smart!" Zhou Qiongyue also held her face proudly and acted cute, hoping that her mother would not worry about her.

Jin also smiled in agreement with her daughter-in-law and daughter, but she did feel a lot more relieved after talking with her daughter.

In fact, Jin wanted to persuade her daughter not to have children for the time being, but she also understood the significance of a legitimate eldest son to her daughter, and she was also afraid that her daughter would be embarrassed after she persuaded her.

She didn't say anything. She had taught her everything she needed to, so she decided to leave the choice to her daughter!

Afterwards, Jin asked in detail about some of the things happening in her daughter and son-in-law's bedroom, and finally made Zhou Qiongyue, a relatively open-minded soul, blush.

In the end, it was Zhou Qiongyue who got over the situation by acting cute and coquettish.

In the front yard, Marquis Cheng'en and his companions were just drinking tea and chatting. They had no intention of probing or testing anyone. They were all smart people and had already done everything they should before the marriage.

If they did it again now, it would only make things more difficult for their daughter/sister. Even the most impulsive Zhou Zhiquan was polite to Yuan Bohua, completely devoid of his previous stern expression.

At this moment, Yuan Bohua sighed in his heart that the people in this room were really a group of cunning people.

Both parties are willing to get along in a friendly manner, and the atmosphere when chatting is of course relaxed and pleasant.

At noon, everyone had lunch together. Of course, men and women sat separately, with a screen separating them. It was a very enjoyable occasion for both the host and the guests. Even Liu and Sun, who usually liked to make sarcastic remarks, restrained themselves.

Zhou Qiongyue suspected that her grandfather had warned them in advance, otherwise why would these two people force themselves to smile and talk to her.

This time Zhou Qiongyue was really mistaken. The one who was threatening Liu and Sun was not Marquis Cheng'en, but Zhou Qiongyue's third uncle Zhou Wenfu, who had just recovered from his leg.

He now understood how much his good brother doted on his niece. If Liu and Sun really caused trouble on a day like this, his brother and sister-in-law would definitely blame him for the mess. He didn't want his leg, which had just healed, to be broken again.

So he warned the two of them the night before that if they continued to make trouble, he would be in trouble, and neither of them would have an easy time either.

Before Zhou Qiongyue got married, she was not well-informed about the news in Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion. Now that she is married, it is even more impossible for her to know.

She attributed the credit to her grandfather based on her guesswork.

After everyone finished lunch in peace, Zhou Qiongyue took Yuan Bohua to visit her Qiongyue Pavilion. Although Zhou Qiongyue was married, her Qiongyue Pavilion was still reserved for her.

Liu and Sun were now under the care of Zhou Wenfu, and had no objections. However, Concubine Sun, who had given birth to Zhou Zhiwen, a concubine from the first wife's family, had her eyes on the Qiongyue Pavilion.

After all, Zhou Wencan and Jin spent a lot of time and money to build Qiongyue Pavilion for their daughter. Of course, it was very nice inside, and Aunt Sun naturally wanted to live in it.

Aunt Sun found an opportunity to bring up the matter with the prince the day after Zhou Qiongyue got married. Zhou Wencan then found a reason to make Aunt Sun kneel in the yard for a whole day.

Aunt Sun's legs were swollen from kneeling, and Zhou Wencan told her not to call a doctor. It can be said that for someone like Aunt Sun who had never suffered, her body could not bear it.

In the end, Zhou Zhiwen went to his father and mother to admit his mistake and plead for mercy. The key point was to emphasize that he had no restless thoughts and hoped that his father and mother could forgive his aunt this time.

Zhou Zhiwen went to plead for mercy, but neither Zhou Wencan nor Jin offered any words of forgiveness. They both felt that Aunt Sun had grown up and even dared to covet the eldest daughter's residence. This time, they were determined to make her suffer.
