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 234 Another day when Yuan Bohua is jealous of his brother-in-law

By the time Zhou Qiongyue had selected the people in the front yard and arranged some subsequent matters, it was already dark before she knew it.

Zhou Qiongyue looked at the sky outside, stood up and stretched, sighing helplessly, "Didn't she come here to retire? Why does she still have to work so hard to earn money?"

At this time, Zhou Qiongyue was thinking that she must arrange all these things quickly so that she could accompany her son and enjoy life.

When Zhou Qiongyue led her people back to the backyard, she saw Yuan Bohua teasing his two sons by the bed. Seeing her return, he lowered his voice and said teasingly, "Your mother is back!"

Zhou Qiongyue also walked to the bedside and looked at the two children. "When did the prince come back?"

"It's been a while. Gulan said you were busy in the front yard, so I went back to the backyard to accompany Chang'er and Kang'er." Yuan Bohua stretched out his hand to tease the two children, "Father has been with our Chang'er and Kang'er for a while, right?"

Zhou Qiongyue looked at the prince like this and felt that she could not connect that slightly crazy person with the prince at all.

After Yuan Bohua finished speaking, he waited for a while. Seeing that Zhou Qiongyue didn't say anything, he looked up at Zhou Qiongyue and said, "What are you thinking about? If making money is too tiring and you don't want to do it, just tell the Second Prince that you don't want to do it anymore."

At worst, our Kang'er can work hard and earn his own future. There's nothing wrong with that!"

Zhou Qiongyue came back to her senses and explained a few words, "It's okay, it's just that I haven't been this busy in a while, so I'm a little uncomfortable. Plus, we have Chang'er and Kang'er, and Gu Yu is married, so we're always a little short of manpower.

Newly promoted people need to be observed for a period of time before they can be trusted."

Yuan Bohua sat up straight instantly and stared into Zhou Qiongyue's eyes seriously. "So you were worried about the manpower problem just now?"

"No, it's just that seeing how kind the prince is to Chang'er and Kang'er reminded me of the time when the prince stabbed your good cousin. They were like two completely different people."

Now that she's been with Yuan Bohua for a while, Zhou Qiongyue is becoming more and more outspoken. If it were when they first got married, Zhou Qiongyue would never have dared to say this.

When Yuan Bohua heard Zhou Qiongyue say this, he was not angry at all, but smiled even more.

Yuan Bohua reached out to play with the jade pendant at his waist and looked at Zhou Qiongyue with interest. "You are not afraid of me now. I thought you would never dare to mention that scene in your life!"

Zhou Qiongyue was choked by Yuan Bohua's words. She looked a little angry and embarrassed. "If you say that again, I'll beat you up!"

Yuan Bohua was also stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter, "Hahaha, Yue'er, you are so cute! Isn't my baby your baby?"

"Hmph!" Zhou Qiongyue said that she didn't want to pay attention to this person at this time.

Yuan Bohua took the initiative to coax Zhou Qiongyue, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, Yue'er, please don't be angry with me, okay?"

Seeing Yuan Bohua actively coaxing her, Zhou Qiongyue felt a little embarrassed and took the initiative to explain: "I'm not angry. How can I get angry so easily? This is just a joke!

"Why did you come back so late today? What happened?"

Yuan Bohua thought about it and said, "No, it's just that tomorrow I will go to the camp outside the capital to serve as a soldier and follow them to suppress bandits."

After Yuan Bohua finished speaking, he stared at Zhou Qiongyue intently. He wanted to know how Yue'er would react. It would be even better if he could see what Yue'er was thinking.

Although this incident came a little suddenly, Zhou Qiongyue had actually prepared herself a long time ago and was mentally prepared that Yuan Bohua would have to go to the battlefield sooner or later.

"Your Highness, go and pursue your future without worry. My sons and I will be waiting for you in the mansion."

Hearing Zhou Qiongyue say this, Yuan Bohua was not very happy. Instead, he asked, "Don't you feel reluctant?"

"I'm so reluctant! But when we first got married, you told me that you wanted to go to the battlefield in the future. Now that you have the chance, go.

Just like I don't want to go out and socialize, you didn't force me to attend any flower-viewing banquets or other parties.

You support my lifestyle, and I respect your ideals."

Zhou Qiongyue is not the kind of person who is lonely and needs her husband to be by her side at all times. Maybe she misses him often, but she also has her own things to do.

Yuan Bohua looked at the princess like this. He felt that Zhou Qiongyue was glowing and murmured, "This prince has a really good life!"

Zhou Qiongyue looked at Yuan Bohua's eyes that could trap anyone and quickly changed the subject, "Alright, I know you're sweet-talking. Let's have dinner served! I'm hungry too."

When Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua were having dinner, Yuan Bohua remembered something: he had forgotten that his brother-in-law was going to be sent out for business.

Yuan Bohua picked up some food for Zhou Qiongyue before telling her, "Well, my eldest brother is going to be transferred to Quanzhou as a prefect."

"When did it happen? Quanzhou?" Zhou Qiongyue put down her chopsticks in surprise.

He looked at Yuan Bohua seriously, hoping he would say more.

Yuan Bohua took another pair of chopsticks from the side and handed them to Zhou Qiongyue, "You've got your elbow bent wrong. Just now, when I said I was going to suppress the bandits, you weren't so excited."

If Zhou Qiongyue didn't want to know what happened next, she would have wanted to pry open the prince's head and take a look. How could he not grasp the key point?

"Your Highness, that's my biological brother, your eldest brother-in-law. Not anyone else."

"Just tell me, if my brother and I are in danger at the same time, who will you save?" Yuan Bohua was not really so naive, he just wanted to tease Zhou Qiongyue.

"Of course it's to save my...family prince." Zhou Qiongyue thought to herself that it was a close call, she almost said 'my brother'.

Although Yuan Bohua's eyes were filled with disbelief, he still tactfully didn't ask any more questions. Otherwise, he was afraid that if he asked too many questions, he would go to the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion tonight and beat up his brother-in-law.

"Tell me how Big Brother suddenly became the prefect of Quanzhou. He's amazing. He's worthy of being my brother. He even rose through the ranks so quickly."

Zhou Qiongyue was completely immersed in the joy of her brother's promotion and didn't notice that Yuan Bohua's face beside her had darkened.

Yuan Bohua was unhappy, but he still had to explain, "As for your business, the warehouse is located in Quanzhou. This is indeed an opportunity for big brother. Sun Changping from the Sheng'en Marquisate has also been transferred there to cooperate with your brother."

He didn't want Yue'er to be at home worrying about her elder brother when he went to the camp outside Beijing tomorrow. She just needed to focus on worrying about him.

"Then I'm going back to the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion tomorrow to take a look! Oh, and I also bought a tea shop in Quanzhou today. It just so happens that Big Brother can help me manage it when he goes there."

At this time, Zhou Qiongyue was already thinking about what things her elder brother would need in Quanzhou and bring back to the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion tomorrow.

"Okay, bring more people tomorrow." Yuan Bohua said this to comfort himself. Anyway, his brother-in-law went to Quanzhou and would not be back in a short time, so there was one less person to compete with him for Yue'er's position in his heart.

He would not bother his elder brother-in-law at this time. He generously let his elder brother-in-law have his way once.
