"But, cousin, after all these years, the only person I've wanted to marry is you."
Fei Wan spoke affectionately, but Zhou Beichen's expression was unpredictable and extremely cold.
"Cousin, Feiwan will never marry anyone in this life. I am yours in life and your ghost in death."
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
It was such a loving look that she wanted to clap her hands. Thinking about what she had heard before, for a moment, Zhou Zhaonuan felt that this Feiwan might not be as innocent as she seemed.
Zhou Beichen felt so sick after hearing what she said that he was about to vomit. He kept silent, suppressed his anger, and did not kick the person out.
Instead, he lowered his head and spoke in what he thought was a gentle tone.
"Wan'er, as my concubine, you are destined to stay in the palace for the rest of your life. Even if I don't come to you, you have to endure and live out your life in solitude. Have you really thought this through?"
Fei Wan bit her lip, and after some hesitation, she nodded, "Cousin, Fei Wan is willing. Even if you don't come, Fei Wan is willing to stay in the palace. I don't want anything, just to be your concubine."
Seeing her determination, Zhou Beichen felt more and more that she was stupid.
After a while, Zhou Beichen touched Feiwan's head and said calmly, "Okay, I have something to say to Nuannuan now. You go back. I will visit you when I have time."
Fei Wan was delighted, wiped her tears, and looked up happily, "That's great, thank you cousin, Wan'er will wait for you to come that night."
Zhou Beichen turned his head away, not wanting to look at her. He felt only annoyance in his heart. "Fei Wan, Concubine Hui is pregnant. I have to go accompany her tonight. You should sleep well. Let's go, Nuan Nuan."
After hearing this, Fei Wan frowned and immediately became unwilling. She took a few steps to catch up with Zhou Beichen and Zhou Zhaonuan, and her pair of white and tender hands passed through Zhou Beichen's waist and reached his chest.
She clung to him tightly, and said coquettishly, "I won't leave, cousin. Wan'er won't leave unless you go to Wan'er tonight. Concubine Hui is already pregnant and has given birth to two children. What good is it for you to just lie there? You might as well come to Wan'er's place. Wan'er will make sure you know what it means to be in a trance of happiness."
Zhou Beichen's expression changed visibly, becoming cold. However, he immediately looked at Zhou Zhaonuan beside him, touched the little girl's head, and saw that Zhou Zhaonuan's big eyes were extremely bright and clear, so he thought that she didn't think much at the moment.
It is one thing for a young girl to go to a brothel, but it is another thing for his concubine to say these words in front of her.
"No, Feiwan, what are you talking about? What do you mean by being so happy? Don't you know that I'm only eleven years old? Do you have my father's consent to say this in front of me?"
Zhou Zhaonuan asked a series of questions, and Feiwan's face flushed red, not knowing whether it was out of anger or shame.
"you......"
Fei Wan pointed at Zhou Zhao's heating knot. Apart from anything else, this feud was getting bigger and bigger.
"You what?"
Zhou Zhaonuan stretched out his hands, which had been on his hips, and rudely knocked Feiwan's hand away, glaring angrily. "What do you mean by 'you'? Feiwan, I'm telling you, in broad daylight, even if you want my father to favor you, please don't say it so openly. Even if I don't understand, don't you see how many people are around my father? It's okay if you don't protect your own dignity, but you absolutely cannot destroy my father's dignity."
Zhou Beichen coughed awkwardly a few times, but when he heard Zhou Zhaonuan's last few words, his brows almost raised to the sky.
As expected of Zhou Beichen's daughter, she has always stood by him, cared about him, and been proud of him since she was young.
As Zhou Zhaonuan spoke, he took advantage of Feiwan's inattention and pulled Feiwan away from Zhou Beichen with a strong force, giving her a domineering warning.
"Let me tell you, Feiwan, it's not easy for the concubine to see my father. Go wherever you want."
Seeing Feiwan's hands open and close, her face flushed red and she couldn't say a word, Zhou Beichen felt a little soft-hearted, gently pushed his daughter's arm and said.
"Nuannuan, that's enough. No matter what Feiwan said, she is your stepmother now. You can't be too rude."
Zhou Zhaonuan rolled his eyes at him, clasped his hands together in anger, and glanced at Feiwan.
"What's the point of a concubine mother? What kind of mother is a concubine mother?"
Zhou Beichen pulled Zhou Zhaonuan in and pretended to be angry, "Little girl, what are you talking about? Do you still have any rules? All these years of studying have been in vain."
Zhou Zhaonuan didn't even look at him, just turned her back and gave him the thumbs up.
Looking at Zhou Beichen's mixed expression, Fei Wan had an idea and felt that the opportunity had come. She gently pulled Zhou Beichen's sleeve carefully.
"Cousin, Wan'er just paid her respects to Princess Chang'an, but she didn't even return the greeting. It's obvious that she's become arrogant because of her favor. In Feiwan's opinion, she should be severely beaten to teach her a lesson."
Zhou Beichen was very dissatisfied with what he heard. He glared at Fei Wan and pushed her far away. On the other side, Zhou Zhaonuan was so angry that she gasped for breath after hearing what Fei Wan said. But she was not angry with Zhou Beichen at this moment. She turned around and hugged Zhou Beichen's arm, with a pair of aggrieved eyes, and asked pitifully.
"Daddy, Nuannuan is already eleven years old and a big kid. You won't really listen to Feiwan and beat me up, will you?"
"Why would I hit you?"
Zhou Beichen raised his voice and yelled at Fei Wan, causing her to tremble. Zhou Zhaonuan proudly shook her head at Fei Wan, making faces, which made Zhou Beichen laugh.
When Feiwan didn't affect his daughter's interests, he could think of the friendship with Feiwan, but if she wanted to harm his daughter, what was friendship? Nothing.
"That's good, that's good!"
Zhou Zhaonuan patted his chest in shock and knelt down with a wronged look on his face.
Zhou Beichen was stunned, pointed at Zhou Zhaonuan, pulled her up, and was very puzzled.
"I didn't say I was going to hit you, nor did I blame you. Why are you kneeling for no reason?"
Zhou Zhaonuan stiffened her neck and complained, "Daddy, you don't know, when you weren't here just now, Nuannuan heard Feiwan telling the Queen Mother that my brother was useless, saying that my brother wasn't her niece's biological son, and that he might not be filial to the Queen Mother in the future. Fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't let her bully her, otherwise, there would be no peace in the harem."
"Really?"
Zhou Beichen didn't respond to Zhou Zhaonuan's words. He turned his head to the dumbfounded Fei Wan and asked with a smile.
Fei Wan's whole body shuddered and her face looked extremely ugly. Looking at her expression, Zhou Beichen was already pretty sure about it.
He originally wanted Feiwan to live a life of luxury in the harem, but now, after looking at his daughter, he immediately gave up that idea.
