Marquis Cheng'en was not angry. He had long known what his father and mother were like. If they got angry about everything, he probably would not have grown up safely and would have been angry to death.

Marquis Cheng'en may not be angry, but the words he said with a smile are still infuriating: "Father, just listen to Yue'er. Yue'er is now the princess. She has been to the emperor's private treasury and has no problem with the jewelry that mother has."

Zhou Wenjun also smiled and agreed, "Big brother is right. It is true that my third brother is inferior in this respect. Big brother and I are not loved by our father and mother, so we can earn our own way!"

Zhou Wenjun was originally dissatisfied with his father and mother's favoritism, but even at this time, his father had not forgotten to use their connections to pave the way for the third son.

After hearing what his two sons said, the old marquis felt his heart stopped for a moment, but he looked at the third son who was kneeling on the ground, crying out of breath.

The old marquis still managed to hold on. Comparing the attitudes of his two eldest sons, he felt that the eldest and second oldest were unreliable!

The old marquis looked at Zhou Qiongyue with what he thought was a gentle look:

"Yue'er, the conflict between your third uncle and your father's second uncle is a conflict between the three brothers. This is a conflict of the previous generation and has nothing to do with you.

Besides, even though your grandmother and I were a little partial, your father and second uncle didn't suffer too much, right?"

For the first time, Zhou Qiongyue looked into her grandfather's eyes seriously. "Grandfather, my father doesn't want a daughter like me to bear grudges. I only bear grudges for the time I fell into the water.

Back then, my third uncle's daughter, Zhou Nanqian, pushed me into the water from behind. After that, my third uncle stopped the court doctor from seeing me.

I would like to ask my third uncle and grandfather, 'Did they ever think about my safety back then?'

How could my grandfather have the nerve to ask me to protect my third uncle when he did such a thing?

When Third Uncle was in trouble, I was generous enough not to step in and step on him."

When Zhou Qiongyue said this bluntly, not only the old marquis lying on the bed was stunned, but even Zhou Wenfu who was kneeling on the ground was stunned.

If Zhou Qiongyue hadn't mentioned it, Zhou Wenfu would have forgotten that he had done such a stupid thing.

Zhou Wenfu frantically thought of an excuse in his mind, but after a while he couldn't come up with a good one, so he could only force an explanation:

"That Yue'er, Third Uncle did that because he knew you had been seen by the imperial physician and that you would be fine. He just wanted to annoy Big Brother and his wife."

Zhou Qiongyue is not someone who can be easily fooled. Anyone with a conscience would not do such a stupid thing: "This is not my biological daughter, so I don't feel sorry for her! Who cares whether my niece from the next room wakes up or dies!"

Marquis Cheng'en Zhou Wencan and Jin Shi, who were standing by, were also very angry when they recalled that their daughter was unconscious at the time.

周文璨甚至在思考，老父亲都要走了，要不要在老父亲临走之前再看见心爱的儿子被揍一顿。

Jin quickly grabbed the Marquis who was about to attack. After all, there was plenty of time to deal with her third brother. It was not worth it to bear the reputation of being the one who angered her father to death for such a guy.

The second oldest brother, Zhou Wenjun, who was kneeling beside him, turned around and said to the third oldest brother, Zhou Wenfu, "Third brother, second brother, I originally thought you were just stupid, but I didn't expect you to be both stupid and vicious!

No wonder Zhou Nanqian, that concubine's daughter, dared to attack the eldest daughter of the eldest son's family. So the root of the problem lies here!"

The old marquis looked at the eldest son, who looked like he wanted to beat up the third son, and the vindictive granddaughter. Oh, he didn't dare to yell at these two unfilial people of the same lineage, otherwise, after he left, the third son's life would be even more difficult.

The old marquis could only yell at his second son Zhou Wenjun who was fanning the flames, "Zhou Wenjun... shut up!"

Zhou Wenjun wanted to say something, but his wife pulled his sleeve, so he gave up.

For a moment, the only sound in the whole house was Zhou Wenfu's crying. He had never thought that his father and mother would die so early, nor had he ever thought about what would happen in the future?

Zhou Wenfu was really feeling uneasy at this moment.

The old marquis looked at his youngest son who was crying so hard that his eyes were full of tears and he felt extremely regretful. He should have let the third son learn some skills earlier.

Even if he can't learn it, he shouldn't get into a fight with the eldest and second oldest. Now that things have gotten to this point, he won't be able to close his eyes even when he dies!

When he finally meets Liu in the afterlife, what will he say if she asks him about her beloved Fu'er?

Just as the old marquis was struggling to hold back his eyes, someone outside announced, "The Queen Mother has arrived!"

The old marquis's complexion instantly improved a lot. Yes, he still has a daughter! It doesn't matter if his two sons are unreliable, Fu'er will rely on his sister in the future.

Seeing that her grandfather placed his hopes on her aunt, Zhou Qiongyue obediently walked to her father's side and knelt, waiting for the Empress Dowager Aunt to come in.

The Queen Mother came in very quickly. Zhou Qiongyue had just knelt down when the Queen Mother came in.

After the Queen Mother came in, she went straight to the old marquis' bedside and sat beside the old marquis' bed. Looking at her father who was so thin, the Queen Mother kept crying, "Father, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Facing his daughter, the old marquis finally expressed what he had been thinking over the years:

"I miss your mother. She's always been timid and easily offends people. Without me watching over her, I wonder if she's doing well down there? Is anyone bullying her? I want to go check on her quickly."

The Queen Mother was used to seeing dirty things in the palace, and now, looking at her father who was so infatuated, she was also proud of him:

"Father, do whatever you want! If you want to accompany mother, go ahead! We will take care of ourselves."

The old marquis looked at his promising daughter with satisfaction, and felt very proud in his heart, "I'm just worried about your third brother..."

The Queen Mother saw that her father was already in great pain, and he had to hold on for the sake of his third brother. Although it was not for her, the Queen Mother was also moved by this father's love.

The Queen Mother patted her father's hand soothingly and said, "Don't worry, father!"

The Queen Mother knew that her three brothers had always been at odds with each other, and even she herself had resentments when she was young, but when one dies, all debts are settled, so let it go!

The Queen Mother looked at her three brothers kneeling below and said, "Let's forget about the past grudges. Big brother and second brother, for my sake, please bear with me and don't cause trouble for third brother.

Third brother, just work hard and raise your child.

Third brother, as long as you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, your eldest brother, second brother and I will not ignore anyone who bullies you.

But if you're the one who's causing the trouble, then that's what's going to happen."

Although the Queen Mother promised to protect Zhou Wenfu, the scope of this protection was very limited. The rest had to be done by Zhou Wenfu himself.

The old marquis originally thought that his daughter would support Fu'er, just like he and Liu, but it turned out that she was just an invisible backer.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't disappointed, but the old marquis had accepted his fate because he really couldn't hold on any longer.
