Gulan smiled and said, "Miss, Madam said that you should go with her to the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Marquis of Xuanping the day after tomorrow, and she will let you choose a suit."
When Zhou Qiongyue heard Gulan say this, she became interested, "Xuanping Marquis Mansion?"
Gulan nodded, "It's the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, which is as famous as our Cheng'en Marquis Mansion and Sheng'en Marquis Mansion."
Zhou Qiongyue smiled knowingly. Xuanping Marquis Mansion! That was the Xie family where the heroine of the original novel came from! She was quite interested, so she decided to go and take a look.
Although the original owner and Miss Xie had met on various occasions, they had never played together. She didn't know Miss Xie well.
The main reason was that Miss Xie often appeared in various occasions wearing a moon-white dress, and the original owner also felt that he and Miss Xie were not the same kind of people.
Zhou Qiongyue thought about the original owner's style and chose a set of clothes with red elements. "Let's go with this one! It looks festive."
"Yes, miss." Gulan responded to Zhou Qiongyue's words, put the set chosen by the lady outside, and began to put the rest into the cabinet in the next room.
Although Zhou Qiongyue had achieved financial freedom by starting her own business in her previous life, she was still a bit frugal at heart. She assumed that the items she didn't choose would be returned, after all, they all looked quite valuable. "Aren't these going to be returned?"
"These were custom-made by Madam for the young lady, to be kept for her to wear in the future." Gulan didn't think much of it. After all, the young lady's temperament had changed somewhat since she fell into the water. They all felt that it was normal for people to let go of some things after experiencing life and death.
Some of these servants, when they made mistakes and were severely punished by their masters, would be completely different after their injuries healed. Moreover, the young lady had not only experienced life and death, but also the loss of love.
If that's the case, and the young lady hasn't changed at all, they should be worried!
When Zhou Qiongyue heard Gulan speak so casually, she knew that it was the same in the past. Even though she had seen wealthy people in her previous life, she couldn't help but sigh at the wealth of the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion.
Seeing that Gulan and the others had tidied everything, Zhou Qiongyue smiled and drank tea and ate snacks beside them. Looking at the room full of wealth, she just wanted to sigh that the wish she made really came true.
Time soon came to the day of the birthday banquet of the old lady of Marquis Xuanping. On this day, the old lady Liu of Cheng'en Mansion brought the prince's wife Jin, Zhao from the second house, Sun from the third house, and Zhou Qiongyue, the granddaughter of the eldest house.
As for Zhou Nanqian, she had already married off while Zhou Qiongyue was recovering from her injuries. She married a county magistrate in Jiangnan, so it couldn't be considered that the Marquisate treated her poorly.
After all, she was just a concubine's daughter and had made a mistake. Jiangnan was a rich place, and it was a blessing for Zhou Nanqian to be able to marry there.
Uncle San and Grandmother definitely made great contributions to this, but for Zhou Qiongyue, this was not good news. However, she did not rush to say anything.
After all, based on her memory of Zhou Nanqian's high aspirations, she might not be able to play this good hand well. She would just wait and see what would happen; maybe she wouldn't have to get her hands dirty.
When Lady Liu, the wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en, saw her granddaughter Zhou Qiongyue, she remained rational even when she wasn't partial. She held Zhou Qiongyue's hand affectionately in the carriage and said distressedly, "Grandma's little darling! You've suffered a great hardship this time."
When the Crown Prince's wife Jin saw her mother-in-law like this, although she pursed her lips inwardly, she still smiled on the surface, "Mother still loves this girl."
Zhao and Sun also quickly agreed, and the carriage became lively in an instant.
Seeing everyone like this, Zhou Qiongyue knew that her grandmother still had the final say in the mansion. She sat down next to her grandmother and said to her, "Don't worry, grandma. Your granddaughter is fine now."
As Zhou Qiongyue spoke these words of comfort, she clearly felt her grandmother hesitate for a moment while holding her hand, before patting her hand. "It's easy to catch a cold if you fall into the water at this time of year. You should take good care of yourself and don't try to be too brave. Your health is important."
At this moment, Liu was thinking, this eldest granddaughter was obviously fine, yet the eldest and his wife asked for so much apology from the third son, and not only that, they also insisted on marrying their niece to such a faraway place. Liu felt a little cold thinking about this.
So she said a few words casually, pretended to be sleepy, and leaned against the wall of the carriage to take a nap.
Zhou Qiongyue was able to carve out a path for herself in her previous life by starting her own business, and she wasn't stupid in terms of emotional intelligence. Seeing her grandmother not wanting to pretend, she looked like she was being rude.
She didn't want to deal with her, so she just walked over and sat next to her mother, leaning her head on her mother's shoulder, not caring about Liu's attitude at all.
The wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en was originally pretending to sleep. Seeing her granddaughter being so close to her eldest daughter-in-law, she felt unhappy again. She snorted and reminded her, "Yue'er, a lady's manners are very important. What kind of person are you looking like?"
Zhou Qiongyue was not the original owner, so she had no feelings of admiration for this biased grandmother. She couldn't afford to suffer any loss.
She pretended to be panicked and looked at Liu, saying softly, "Didn't grandma ask me to take care of my health? I feel weak all over right now. If I don't take good care of myself, I'm afraid Third Uncle will feel guilty..."
Liu... could only reply angrily: "Whatever you want!" and closed her eyes. This time she was really prepared to turn a blind eye.
You see, this is why she doesn't like her granddaughter. She is sharp-tongued and just like her mother, she never gives in when she is right.
Jin patted her daughter's head soothingly and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep. But she was thinking, it seems that the prince will find another excuse to beat up his third brother.
