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....
Zhou Zhiwen had no choice in the end. He couldn't just watch his aunt suffer like this! In the end, he could only grit his teeth and let the servant who served him take his private money and go to the clinic outside to get some medicine for bruises and injuries.
Aunt Sun felt the intimidation from the Crown Prince and his wife, and she also realized how foolish she had been. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world, and there is no turning back once the arrow has been shot.
After Aunt Sun understood all this, she became even more afraid to make a fuss. She knelt for a whole day, and her knees were already aching. The wind blew on her, and the fear she felt afterwards made her seriously ill.
Of course, no one would be so blind as to bring these unpleasant things to her face. She was currently touring her Qiongyue Pavilion with Yuan Bohua.
Yuan Bohua had long been curious about where Zhou Qiongyue lived before she got married. At that time, he had been to Qiongyue Pavilion several times, but he only drank tea, ate snacks and chatted in the yard.
He had never even entered the main house of Qiongyue Pavilion, let alone other places, so this time he could walk around openly, he definitely wanted to take a good look.
Seeing that Yuan Bohua was interested, Zhou Qiongyue also took him around with great enthusiasm.
But Zhou Qiongyue's eyes started to tear up as she led Yuan Bohua around. She always thought she wasn't a sentimental person, but when she saw that every plant and tree in Qiongyue Pavilion was kept in good condition, it felt like she was still living there.
She felt sad because they said women have no home after they get married. But seeing the current state of Qiongyue Pavilion, she could feel the kindness of her father and mother towards her.
"Are you reluctant to leave Yue'er now that she's back?" Yuan Bohua wiped Zhou Qiongyue's eyes with his wide sleeves.
Zhou Qiongyue's momentary sensibility was gone in an instant, "Your Highness, your sleeves are dirty!"
Yuan Bohua... "You are such a heartless person. I was trying to comfort you, but you still disliked my sleeves." Yuan Bohua reached out and held Zhou Qiongyue's hand, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
Zhou Qiongyue was interrupted by Yuan Bohua, and the sentimentality in her heart disappeared instantly. So she was held by Yuan Bohua's hand and walked slowly.
Zhou Qiongyue was lost in thought as she stared at the vegetables she had grown when she heard Yuan Bohua say, "If Yue'er likes Qiongyue Pavilion, how about I build you an identical one in the palace?"
Zhou Qiongyue rejected Yuan Bohua's proposal without hesitation, "No, it's not the buildings that I miss, but the people here."
"How about bringing my parents-in-law to live in the palace for a while?" Yuan Bohua said this sincerely, and he didn't care about what others said. The main reason was that Zhou Wencan and Jin were both smart people in his mind, and even if they really moved in, they wouldn't be self-righteous.
More importantly, he felt that his father-in-law and mother-in-law would never agree to such a ridiculous proposal.
Zhou Qiongyue looked up at Yuan Bohua in surprise, "Are you serious?"
Not to mention this era, even in her previous life, there were not many sons-in-law who were willing to live with their parents-in-law.
Yuan Bohua nodded and said truthfully, "I'm speaking so readily, largely because Father and Mother won't be going. Of course, if they really want to go, I won't have any objections. After all, Yue'er's happiness is the most important thing."
"I'm very happy that you have this intention." Zhou Qiongyue is not a picky person. It is said that 'judging by actions rather than the heart, no one is perfect by the heart'.
At least at this moment she felt Yuan Bohua's sincerity and that was enough.
Yuan Bohua also understood what Zhou Qiongyue meant, and the corners of his mouth curled up even more. He really felt that his Yue'er was very kind and never took other people's efforts for granted.
Just like he mentioned it this time, but Yuan Bohua knew that as long as the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion did not suffer a major disaster, Yue'er would not let his father-in-law and mother-in-law stay in the prince's mansion temporarily.
In Yuan Bohua's heart, his Yue'er is a person who cares about everyone!
If Zhou Qiongyue knew what Yuan Bohua was thinking, she would only complain that Yuan Bohua had too strong a filter for the original owner.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua left the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion and returned to the Prince's Mansion just as it was getting dark. They had a full cart when they came, and they also had a full cart when they left.
Perhaps this is what family members are like! They are always worried that the other party will suffer a loss, and they will try their best to consider each other. Family members who love each other will only feel that they don’t give enough to each other.
After returning to her parents' home, Zhou Qiongyue's life became more normal, almost the same as before she got married. She would stay at home in the palace when she had nothing to do. She was not very interested in various flower-viewing banquets and would only show up when she had to go.
The rest of the time, he would either go back to the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion to visit his father and mother, or go to the palace to visit the Queen Aunt and Princess Yongchun.
However, Zhou Qiongyue still managed the palace, but not with the same management methods as the prince had before. She used the same method as she had managed the company in her previous life, and clearly defined the tasks and responsibilities of each position.
The clear reward and punishment system deterred those who slacked off from causing trouble. However, some people did come forward to complain to the prince.
Zhou Qiongyue was determined to give them a warning, so she didn't care about anything else. She would sell out any of those who complained as soon as she found them.
Zhou Qiongyue had betrayed the prince's former maid in the backyard, in front of many people, including Yuan Bohua, who had originally wanted to plead for mercy.
As a result, she got so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand and started rolling up her sleeves. Zhou Qiongyue actually wanted to argue with Yuan Bohua.
Yuan Bohua's understanding was that the princess was furious and almost confused. She was about to fight. He quickly admitted his mistake and stepped forward to help Zhou Qiongyue with her sleeves, comforting her: "The entire palace is under the princess's control. If she wants to sell it, she can sell it. Why be so angry! It's not that serious, really."
It wasn't that Yuan Bohua couldn't beat Zhou Qiongyue, but if he fought with his own princess, if he won, he would be beaten by his father-in-law and the others. If he lost, wouldn't he have any face? If word got out that he, the dignified Prince Fu'an, had beaten the princess in the mansion, would he still have this face?
Zhou Qiongyue was ready to argue, but when she saw Yuan Bohua give in so quickly, she asked in confusion, "Really?"
"It's true, more real than gold. Anyone who makes the princess unhappy will be beaten to death, not to mention sold. They deserve it." Yuan Bohua said this to support the princess.
After all, if the princess can manage the palace like an iron barrel, he will be the one who benefits in the end.
The housekeeper who was about to be sold originally thought that things would take a turn for the better, but it turned out like this... She only realized her fear at this moment and immediately began to kowtow to the princess and beg for mercy.
After this incident, the people in the palace could instantly distinguish between the big and small princes. The princess was someone that even the princes could not afford to offend, so they should just behave themselves!
