Chapter 180: The Garden of Resurrection

Zhou Huanjiu moved to Wanyuan with his mother.

It is worthy of being a royal manor. Even if it is not the best in the house, it is still rare and elegant.

This place has been uninhabited for a long time, but it is not deserted.

The servants who stayed behind would sweep and tidy up the place all the time, waiting for their master to suddenly come over one day when he felt like it.

This is a strange place and I need to adapt to everything.

Before leaving, Haoyue gave instructions to the steward who stayed behind in Wanyuan in the name of the princess.

"This used to be the royal manor, but now it has been given to the princess."

"If someone thinks he is half a member of the palace and thinks highly of himself and refuses to obey the orders of the county lord, our princess will not sit idly by."

The manager is busy and should do so.

Seeing that everything was fine here, Haoyue asked for his leave to Zhou Huanjiu and went back to tell gossip to the princess, no, to report it.

The mother and daughter packed up their things and went home.

A few days later, Zhou Yu came after smelling the scent.

After entering the reception hall, he strode straight towards Zhou Huanjiu.

Even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were filled with kindness, like a father who truly loves his daughter.

He walked so fast that Zhou Huanzhi behind him had to jog to keep up.

"Wine!"

"As a father, I know that my Jiu'er is the most promising child."

He was delighted and honored.

"You are so favored by the Queen Mother. Look at this manor. It is truly a great favor from the Queen Mother."

"Now, when the father walks out, his face will be full of light."

Seeing his beaming look, Zhou Huanjiu was extremely confused. How could there be someone in this world with a thicker face than Chu Chu?

Why can he act as if they used to be a loving father and a filial daughter?

If we say that he hired someone to kidnap her, it was a distant memory from his childhood, vague and unclear.

But Zhou Huanjiu remembered very clearly what his expression was when her mother brought her back to the Zhou family a few days ago.

Zhou Yu had already found a carved chair and sat down.

He then pointed to a chair and said generously, "Come on, Zhizhi, don't stand anymore, sit down too."

Just like my own home.

Even Zhou Huanzhi was more shameless than him. After taking a look at Zhou Huanjiu's expression, he was hesitant and allowed Zhou Yu to pull him to sit down.

He leaned back in his chair, with his arms wide open, as if embracing the might of the mountains and rivers.

"Jiu'er, look at this, such a nice manor."

"Wanyuan is such a big place, but it's just you and your mother living there. Isn't it a waste?"

"I am your biological father after all. I gave birth to you and raised you. Now that you have become successful, you should be filial to your father, right?"

"Aye, please go back and pack your things and move here today, so that we can enjoy the happiness of family life together."

The words were so disgusting that Zhou Huanjiu could no longer hold back his anger. He frowned and said in disdain, "Who wants to enjoy family happiness with you?"

Then, Zhou Yu's expression of enjoying a bright future froze on his face.

He tried to save face: "Jiu'er, stop joking with Aye. What child doesn't miss his father..."

Zhou Huanjiu tried to endure it.

Because her aunt taught her that it is not a good etiquette to interrupt others when they are talking.

But she failed and didn't want to care about etiquette at all. She interrupted him directly: "I don't want to see you at all."

"I feel disgusted to have a father like you."

"This is where my mother and I live, don't get involved."

Zhou Yu couldn't hold back his anger anymore and said angrily, "You rebellious girl, you are unfilial and unfraternal!"

"A son doesn't think his mother is ugly, how dare you say I am evil?"

"Besides, how can children instigate their parents to separate?"

"How can it be that children do not support their father?"

"If you dare to drive your father away today, you will be criticized for it for the rest of your life!"

If it were in the past, Zhou Huanjiu would have been scared by this sentence.

Reputation is so important.

However, what Chu Chu said to her the last time she returned to the palace made a lot of sense.

To her, reputation is the most worthless thing and will only become a tool to restrain her.

She just needs to do what she wants and not worry about her reputation.

Those gossipers couldn't do anything to her.

Zhou Huanjiu sneered disdainfully and asked back: "Backbone? Who dares to poke my spine?"

She imitated the way the Empress Dowager usually sat when admonishing others, not sitting too straight, but leaning slightly to the right, with her right hand resting on the armrest.

Although he didn't understand the meaning, Zhou Huanjiu tried hard to imitate it.

In the eyes of others, her lazy and leisurely attitude made it seem as if the person in front of her was not worthy of her attention at all.

"I am a noble lady raised by the Empress Dowager in Renshou Palace, and was personally conferred the title of Princess by His Majesty."

"She is Princess Tianzhen's best friend."

"Who dares to touch my spine with his finger? Who dares to point out my shortcomings to my face?"

"I can't hear what they say behind their backs."

"No matter what people say behind my back."

"In front of me, they have to be friendly and even greet me and wish me a long life."

Zhou Yu stammered, "You, you you..."

But you haven't made any progress after all this time.

After a long stalemate, Zhou Huanjiu thought about what happened a few days ago and suddenly smiled.

"You may come in if you wish."

"But...Aye has to follow the rules too."

"Besides me, my mother is the owner of the garden."

"Now that you are here, you must listen to her and not go beyond her, understand?"

Zhou Huanjiu leaned over and asked the servants, "Do you understand?"

The servants answered in unison: "Yes."

It's such a disgrace and humiliation!

Zhou Yu was so ashamed that he became angry: "Evil creature!"

"I am your father!"

"A father is the guide for his son, and a husband is the guide for his wife. Have all the books you've read gone to waste?"

"How dare you let this woman get on top of me?"

"Then won't I be constrained by her in every aspect?"

"There are no such rules in the world!"

Zhou Huanjiu glanced at Zhou Huanzhi who was beside him and inseparable from him.

"You can let a little servant put pressure on me, and you still have the nerve to talk about rules?"

Zhou Huanjiu ignored his jumping up and down and asked his mother: "Mother, Jiuer listens to you, I don't care."

"But if you don't want to see him, just kick him out!"

As he spoke, Zhou Huanjiu blinked where they couldn't see.

Mrs. Zhou got the message and said uncertainly, "It's okay, let him in?"

Seeing that her daughter did not object, she calmed down and continued to act: "Even if Jiu'er doesn't care about reputation, but this kind of thing, good is always better than bad."

"It doesn't matter to me, as long as Jiujiu is on my side, he can't do anything to me."

But Zhou Yu simply couldn't accept that he was inferior to his wife.

"This is too much!"

But when he did this himself, he didn't think he was wrong.
