When Zhou Wencan said this, Marquis Cheng'en was stunned. Which legitimate daughter would not hold a coming-of-age ceremony when she reaches the age of 15? Isn't this a joke?
But he also knew his eldest son's temperament and it was impossible for him to make something up out of nothing.
Marquis Cheng'en habitually looked at his wife, Mrs. Liu, who was standing next to him.
Liu... "The third wife said that there have been so many weddings in the Marquis' Mansion over the past year that they are a bit short on money. They didn't say they wouldn't hold the wedding, but just said they would just keep it small."
In fact, when Liu talked about this matter, she also felt that she lacked confidence. Indeed, among the noble ladies of Yuan'an, except for those from poor families, no one's coming-of-age ceremony was shabby.
"What should I do with the ceremony? If we're just having a meal together as a family, then there's no need. I'll do it for Yue'er myself. If you think the future princess isn't worthy of having her coming-of-age ceremony in the Marquis's Mansion, I can also do it in Jin's dowry house!"
My son is leaving!"
After Zhou Wencan finished speaking, he bowed and left angrily.
Liu had originally felt a little insecure, but upon seeing Zhou Wencan's attitude, she instantly felt confident. "My Lord, look at Zhou Wencan, he looks like someone owes him something."
"What else? Tell the third son and his wife tomorrow that if they can't manage the household expenses properly, they will be kicked out of the mansion."
After Marquis Cheng'en finished speaking, he didn't want to stay here anymore, so he immediately took his men and chased his eldest son out.
If Yue Yatou really doesn't have a coming-of-age ceremony, it would mean offending the entire family of the eldest son. If things go wrong, the third son might even be ruined by the eldest son.
Sometimes Marquis Cheng'en really doesn't understand what's going on in the minds of his wife and the third son and his wife.
It's obvious that Zhou Qiongyue married so well and has established good relationships, so she will have a solid network of connections in the future, but these people insist on looking for trouble.
Zhou Wenfu: No, it’s unfair. I really had no idea about this.
"My Lord, My Lord..." Liu also followed Marquis Cheng'en and chased out, but unfortunately the two people in front walked too fast, so she did not catch up, and could only come back with her servants.
Liu could only return to the house angrily and smash a few vases to vent her anger. "Tomorrow morning, Sun will come to pay her respects. Let her kneel in the yard for an hour."
Liu didn't think she was wrong, and that the fault must have been instigated by others. However, she didn't wrongly accuse Sun this time. She really didn't have such an intention at the beginning.
However, even though Liu was angry, she did not forget to instruct others not to spread the news and to protect the third house's reputation.
In fact, Zhou Wencan was walking slowly. Being smart, he had of course thought about how he would respond if his father caught up with him or not, so he was originally waiting for Marquis Cheng'en.
Of course, Marquis Cheng'en would be able to catch him if he chased him out.
"Boss!" Marquis Cheng'en looked at Zhou Wencan's back and shouted without caring about his image.
Zhou Wencan stopped immediately when he heard the voice, turned around and saluted in one breath, "Father, do you have any other instructions?"
"I am indeed unaware of this matter, Third Wife..." Marquis Cheng'en originally wanted to say that Third Wife had lost her mind for a moment, but he felt Zhou Wencan's all-seeing eyes. He could only change the following words:
"This matter is the fault of the third daughter-in-law."
Zhou Wencan no longer cared about his parents' preferences and only raised the issue that concerned him, "What about Yue'er's coming-of-age ceremony?"
"It will be a grand event, and Yue'er will not be treated unfairly." Marquis Cheng'en quickly promised, fearing that the eldest brother would go straight to the third brother's yard in the next second.
And he believed that the eldest brother could really do something like go to his daughter-in-law's dowry house to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for Zhou Qiongyue.
Marquis Cheng'en felt that he had lost face and that even the Empress in the palace would have opinions about it.
Regardless of his father's plans, Zhou Wencan only emphasized one thing, "Father, Yue'er is not only my legitimate daughter, but also my only daughter. If she can't enjoy even a little bit of the glory of this Marquisate, then no one else will be able to enjoy it in the future.
Although it was you, father, who openly supported the Marquis' Mansion over the years, I also did a lot of things to help that person secretly, and I also made a great contribution to this honor.
My son cannot just sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor by being the heir of a marquisate. You and mother want to favor my third brother, but my son and my second brother have never said anything since they were young.
But if my son is wronged, it is his own business, but it does not include his wife and son, and certainly not Yue'er."
Zhou Wencan didn't think he was a good person. If the marquisate he maintained couldn't bring glory to the people he cared about, then he would destroy this glory and would never let others benefit from it.
Marquis Cheng'en was truly shocked this time. Over the years, he and his wife had favored the third son a little, and they both knew that the other two sons might be resentful. However, he did not expect that the eldest son's resentment was so great that he even wanted to destroy it if he could not get it.
He could only pretend to be calm, pointing at Zhou Wencan with a trembling hand, his eyes seemed to say "you rebellious son"
"Are you threatening my father?"
"If my father insists on thinking so, then so be it!" Zhou Wencan was smiling the whole time, sometimes even bending over. If you didn't know, you would think this was a picture of a loving father and a filial son!
In fact, Marquis Cheng'en was almost mad at this unfilial son, but he couldn't break up with him. After all, the third brother really couldn't beat the eldest brother. It wouldn't even take one round for the third brother to be finished.
"This time it's really just the third family's fault. We're all family, so just talk it out. It's not that serious."
Marquis Cheng'en explained and tried to smooth things over.
Zhou Wencan didn't care about Marquis Cheng'en's attitude at first. As long as Yue'er's coming-of-age ceremony could be held in a grand manner, it would be fine.
"As for Yue'er's dowry, it's due to the Duke. Father, please ask my third brother and his wife to be generous. If they cut corners and use inferior materials as good ones, then the whole Yuan'an will know that my third brother and his wife are even skimping on their niece's dowry. How greedy they are!"
You said that with this reputation, it would be hard for my third brother to find a job that would allow him to make a living in the future! Who would dare to employ someone who even wants to covet his niece's dowry?
"I think even a righteous man like my father would think it's reasonable for such a bad guy to get beaten up and have his arms and legs broken."
Zhou Wencan's words were full of pity and regret.
Marquis Cheng'en only heard full of threats and threats of ruining the company at any time, but he had no good solution except to be silently angry.
Marquis Cheng'en could only rub his brows and promise again: "Don't worry, Yue'er will not be missing."
"Then I would like to thank you very much, father. I will take my leave now. You should also go to bed early, father." Zhou Wencan smiled very easy-goingly, looking like a filial son.
No one could believe that such a gentle person would say such cruel words.
Marquis Cheng'en waved his hand at his eldest son, who had come to collect the debt, and signaled him to leave. He had never felt so helpless as he did at that moment.
