As the weather got colder, Zhou Qiongyue didn't want to move even more. Except for paying her respects to her parents at night, she basically stayed in the house and didn't want to move.

Zhou Qiongyue's laziness was so intense that even Jin couldn't help but sigh. She used to often exempt her daughter from paying respects, but since winter had arrived, Jin had to harden her heart and not say so.

Jin was very annoyed because she felt that if she exempted her daughter from paying her respects, she was afraid that her daughter would not be able to get out of bed all day.

But every evening, her daughter came to the main courtyard to pay her respects in the wind and snow, and Jin felt very distressed.

After Zhou Qiongyue paid her respects and returned home that day, Jin Shi couldn't stop sighing. Finally, Zhou Wencan couldn't stand it anymore. He closed the book in his hand and put it aside, looking at the frowning Jin Shi:

"Ma'am, have you been troubled by anything lately? Why do you keep sighing?"

Jin rolled her eyes at Zhou Wencan and said, "What else could it be? Winter is here, and Yue'er is becoming less and less willing to go out. I'm worried about her health."

Zhou Wencan thought it was a difficult matter! "Is this enough to make Madam so worried?"

Jin looked at her husband in surprise, "Do you have a solution?"

Zhou Wencan pointed to his face, his intention was obvious, he had an idea, but it was not free.

Jin glanced at the servants beside her and rolled her eyes at Zhou Wencan, "She's not my daughter."

Seeing that his wife was not fooled, Zhou Wencan could only quickly tell his method, "Don't be angry, madam, of course she is our daughter.

This is actually easy to do. Doesn't Yue'er have a hot spring resort outside the city? Let her live there for a few months, saying it's to recuperate, and then return home for the New Year."

"Will this work? My mother is still in the Marquis' Mansion!" Jin had thought of this method, but Yue'er was just a junior after all.

"Don't worry! I'll go talk to father. Both mother and the marquisate own a hot spring villa. If mother wants to live there, she can go."

Zhou Wencan was worried about leaving his mother and daughter together. Although he didn't think his daughter would suffer any loss, it was tiring to toss them around.

"Then I'll leave this matter to my husband." Jin said this very gently. After all, when asking someone to do something, one should have a good attitude.

Zhou Wencan didn't think it was a difficult matter. He didn't want to discuss the child right now. He just wanted to go to sleep. "Don't worry! Leave it to your husband."

When Zhou Qiongyue came to pay her respects the next day, Jin Shi instructed her, "Pack up. Have your brother take you to your hot spring resort in a few days. Have your father come and pick you up before the New Year."

"Ah? Why did mother think of letting her daughter live in the hot spring villa? Grandmother is still in the mansion! Isn't it a bad idea for me to do this?" Zhou Qiongyue was really surprised. Although the mansion was very cold, she had never had such an idea.

Jin Shi did not try to take credit for this and took the initiative to speak well of her husband, "Your father saw that you were so afraid of the cold and felt sorry for you, so he let you go to the hot spring village to recuperate.

You don't have to worry about your grandmother's affairs. The power of the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion is not in my mother's hands now, so it's not up to me to say anything. And your father will take care of these things for you, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Mom and Dad are so good to me. Don't worry, Mom, I still love you the most." Zhou Qiongyue was grateful for her parents' kindness and hugged Jin's arm and acted coquettishly.

Jin looked at her daughter who was hugging her arm and acting like a spoiled child. She patted her daughter's hand in amusement and said, "You, don't cause trouble when you go to the farm. Do you hear me?"

"I heard it! Mother, please don't accuse me. When have I ever taken the initiative to cause trouble?" Zhou Qiongyue wanted to make an excuse for herself, but when she saw her mother's half-smile, she still felt a little guilty.

Zhou Qiongyue felt guilty, but she still tried to justify herself by saying, "They really were the ones who provoked me first."

Jin found her daughter's lack of confidence, her unwillingness to give up, quite endearing. But she still had to say what needed to be said, "What about Xie Yunshen?"

Zhou Qiongyue touched her ear awkwardly. Xie Yunshen had indeed not provoked her. "It was he who provoked His Highness! His Highness has been so kind to me, and I am just returning the favor."

Jin looked at her daughter solemnly and taught her: "Your friendship with His Highness is not something that can be said. It is indeed a two-way process between friends. But you have more than just friends, you also have family.

Although your status is noble, it is still not enough compared to the royal family or even Xie Yunshen. Your confidence, or the confidence of the entire Cheng'en Marquisate, depends on the Empress and the two princes.

We in the Cheng'en Marquisate don't have any talented people, so we can't help the Madam and the others, but we can't cause trouble for them everywhere, understand?"

The last time her daughter fought the Third Prince, Jin wanted to say something. Her daughter's father was only the son of the Marquis of Cheng'en, while the Third Prince's father was the Emperor. At least on paper, the royal family's majesty was inviolable.

Zhou Qiongyue was silent for a moment when she heard her mother say this, then nodded obediently. She had indeed taken things for granted. Their family's glory was indeed due to her aunt and cousins, and she had indeed relied on their influence.

After Zhou Qiongyue figured it out, she didn't act pretentiously. She corrected her mistakes immediately and said, "Mom, I will think twice before I act next time."

"Well, mother knew that our Yue'er would understand our parents' painstaking efforts. If someone bullies you, don't be afraid. Unless it is absolutely necessary, don't intervene personally. There are many ways to solve the problem. You didn't grow a brain to be used as a decoration."

Parents who love their children naturally want them to live well. Jin didn't want her daughter to waste the affection between her and the queen because of trivial matters.

If you can resolve something privately, you should prioritize resolving it yourself. Things like favors should be used wisely.

"Mom, why are you so nice!" Zhou Qiongyue rubbed Jin's arm affectionately. If her mother hadn't taught her, she would have really committed a big taboo.

Her aunt treated her well because she loved her, not because she owed her anything. So she ultimately lost her composure and acted recklessly.

"Silly girl, just remember this in the future. It's the same with your two brothers. Only when there's give and take can the relationship last. Who would always like to be a troublemaker?

I've always believed that the strongest relationship in this world isn't family ties, but a community of shared interests. Only when we share common interests can we go far together.

Even if you marry the prince in the future, as long as you can tie the prince's interests to yours, your position will be secure."

Jin wanted to cram all the principles of life into her daughter's head.

She felt that although her daughter looked smart, she was a little slow in some aspects, and it could be said that she trusted her relatives too much.
