Zhou Zhiqi was immediately brought back to his senses by his father's scolding. He hurried forward and said attentively, "Father, your son is helping you. Where are you going now?"

"Go to the front yard to find your eldest brother! Your father still has to show up in front of all the elders." Marquis Cheng'en had no intention of showing off, he just wanted to show up and leave.

Zhou Zhiqi supported his father and looked back curiously at his eldest sister who hadn't moved in the pavilion. "Aren't you going to wait for everyone along the way?"

Marquis Cheng'en felt that his daughter knew Zhou Zhiqi was guarding here, and she would definitely feel embarrassed to chase him out with red eyes.

His daughter was shy, so the Marquis of Cheng'en could only scold his talkative son, "Mind your own business!"

Zhou Zhiqi heard his father's criticism, but the smile on his face didn't change. He still held his father's hand steadily as they walked towards the front yard. After all, he had become accustomed to his father's criticism over the years.

Anyway, his father didn't only criticize him. Even his elder brother, who was amazingly tactful, was also criticized a lot.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhiqi felt very open-minded.

After Marquis Cheng'en left, Zhou Qiongyue rested for a while before calling Gu Le, who helped her to Qiongyue Pavilion to wash up before going to the front yard.

Yuan Bohua, Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang, father and son, were already helping to entertain the guests in the front yard.

As soon as Zhou Qiongyue arrived at the front yard, Yuan Bohua quickly got away and went to Zhou Qiongyue.

Yuan Bohua looked at Zhou Qiongyue and asked, "Have you cried?"

Zhou Qiongyue had promised her father not to tell anyone about the imperial decree, so she could only find a suitable excuse, "Well, my parents left me a lot of good things, and I feel bad."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bohua moved closer to Zhou Qiongyue, "You still have me, Chang'er, and Kang'er!"

Although Yuan Bohua's comfort was very ordinary, Zhou Qiongyue still felt better.

After Zhou Qiongyue and the others waited for the elders and clan members to leave, they returned to the palace with their family.

Zhou Qiongyue was actually very uneasy. She felt that her father had said so much to her today and had given her so many cards. She was worried that something might happen to her father.

But in two days, Zhou Zhiquan and his two brothers will be moving, and there might be another fight, so it will be inconvenient for Zhou Qiongyue and the others to stay here.

Two days passed quickly, and Marquis Cheng'en did not take any action on this day. The families of Zhou Zhiquan, Zhou Zhiwen, and Zhou Zhiqi all moved.

But there has been a lot of commotion in the mansion these past two days.

When Zhou Zhiquan returned to the courtyard with the list of items for the division of the family business, Yu Shi was immediately shocked. Although there were a lot of these items, they were far less than she had imagined.

Of course, Yu was not willing to accept this, especially since her mother-in-law's jewelry was left to her sister-in-law, which made her extremely dissatisfied.

The mother-in-law didn't give her jewelry to her own granddaughter, but gave it to her married daughter.

Yu immediately had a huge argument with Zhou Zhiquan, and at one point they came to blows. But no matter how much Yu argued, Zhou Zhiquan would not go to his mother to ask for this thing.

Zhou Zhiquan really understood his mother. Not only did his mother dislike him as a legitimate daughter because of Yu Shi, but he himself also disliked his daughter because of Yu Shi.

Who would give something they like to someone they hate?

At such a young age, he has been eyeing the things in the mansion, always comparing himself with this person or that person. At such a young age, he has learned Yu's skills of crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang herself, and he is almost a master at it.

Unlike his son, Zhou Zhiquan could still forcefully take his daughter to the front yard to educate her. His daughter could only stay with her mother in the backyard.

Zhou Zhiquan also asked his mother to raise this legitimate daughter for a period of time. The other mother and daughter were really good, but both of them were threatening to hang themselves in their mother's yard.

Although the mother had the means to deal with the two, she was afraid that killing the mouse would damage the jade bottle, so the matter was left unresolved.

Zhou Zhiquan is now thinking that when his daughter grows up, he will marry her to whoever is his political enemy.

Zhou Zhiquan felt that his political enemy deserved to have such a daughter-in-law, and he would not feel guilty when he supported his daughter.

So no matter how Yu made a fuss, Zhou Zhiquan refused to go to his mother to make a fuss.

Yu immediately took her daughter to cry in front of her mother-in-law.

"Go! You've just been divorced. Then you and your daughter can go back to your Yu Mansion!" Zhou Zhiquan was not afraid at all that Yu would make trouble.

In the past two years, even her father couldn't bear Yu anymore, and he didn't believe that Yu herself didn't feel anything.

After Zhou Zhiquan said this, Yu really didn't dare to go and could only cry in front of Zhou Zhiquan.

In fact, after all the troubles Yu had gone through over the years, she also knew that the people in the mansion disliked her and her daughter, to the point where they did not even hide it.

As for her parents' family, they have long since stopped caring about her.

She dared to make such a fuss in front of Zhou Zhiquan because she knew that Zhou Zhiquan was kind after all and that if he divorced her, she would have no choice but to die.

No matter what she did, the most she would get was house arrest, she would not be divorced. Moreover, she had given birth to a good son who had a good chance of passing the imperial examination.

As long as Zhou Zhiquan doesn't divorce her, he will eventually give her some face.

Zhou Zhiquan was indeed a little embarrassed to a certain extent, but as time went on, his heart became harder and harder.

It had reached the point where even if Yu Shi wanted to commit suicide, he would not stop her. He even allowed the concubines in the backyard to attack Yu Shi.

Yu's health has been getting worse in recent years, but Zhou Zhiquan has no intention of caring about it.

Zhou Zhiwen went directly to find Marquis Cheng'en, hugged his legs, and told him about the grievances he had felt over the years.

Marquis Cheng'en was so angry that he ordered his men to throw Zhou Zhiwen's family of more than 20 people out of the house early the next morning.

When Yu saw that her father-in-law even punished his own son, she dared not make a fuss anymore. She could only pull her daughter and cry and scold while she packed her things.

I wish they could remove all the paving stones in their yard.

Zhou Zhiquan didn't care about these things. As long as Yu Shi didn't go to his parents to make trouble with Nian, it would be fine. As for these things, he would give the banknotes to his eldest brother privately when the time came.

At noon five days after the separation of the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion, Cheng'en Marquis took a nap under his favorite tree in the yard and passed away with a smile.

At that time, Jin was right next to Marquis Cheng'en. The blanket on Marquis Cheng'en slipped down a little. Jin couldn't bear it and got up to cover Marquis Cheng'en with the quilt.

Jin habitually touched Marquis Cheng'en's hand to see if he was cold.

The moment she touched the cold hand of Marquis Cheng'en, Jin thought a lot, but it seemed like she was thinking nothing.

Jin was silent for a while, then continued to hold the blanket and followed her previous idea, gently covering Marquis Cheng'en with the blanket.

Jin ordered someone to add a chair next to Marquis Cheng'en, and she lay quietly on the chair next to him. She also specifically ordered the servants around her to stay away.

She wanted to bask in the sun with her husband for a while longer. The next time they were together, there would probably be no sun!
