After Zhou Wencan left the third room's yard, he went straight to Madam Jin's yard.
When Zhou Wencan arrived at Jin's yard, he saw his daughter Zhou Qiongyue already waiting at the gate.
As soon as Zhou Qiongyue saw her father coming back, she immediately went to greet him, "Dad, you're back!"
Zhou Wencan looked at his daughter, whose eyes were rolling around, with amusement, "Let's go! Go in first."
Zhou Qiongyue happily followed her father Zhou Wencan like a curious puppy, and everyone could see her curiosity.
As Zhou Wencan walked into the yard, he heard his daughter beside him shouting loudly, "Mom, Dad is back."
Then Zhou Wencan watched as his two sons rushed out. Zhou Zhiquan was the first to ask, "Dad, I heard that Third Uncle accidentally fell off his horse and broke his leg?"
Zhou Zhiquan had been curious about it for a long time. He had wanted to go and see it in person. If his mother had not forbade him to go, he would have gone and seen it himself.
Zhou Wencan looked up and saw the boss's smiling eyes. He coughed a little guiltily, "Maybe your uncle's riding skills are not good, so he fell off the horse. Or maybe he offended someone. Anyway, we don't know why at the moment.
It's not a broken bone, just a dislocation and some trauma. It will heal in a few months."
"God is really merciful!" Zhou Zhiquan's face was full of genuine gloating. He knew that his third aunt didn't want to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for his younger sister recently, and his mother was very worried.
Seeing his brother like this, Zhou Zhiyi could only pat his head and said, "Be more restrained. Third Uncle is our elder after all. He is injured. When the sons are free, they should go to see Third Uncle."
Zhou Zhiquan could only glare at his eldest brother in frustration, thinking that he was just pretending. He knew that his eldest brother was also very happy, but he didn't dare to refute him and could only roll his eyes.
Seeing that no one had come in for a long time, Jin knew that the gentlemen were chatting in the yard again. She couldn't help but shout, "What are you all doing standing in the yard? Are you going to have dinner or not?"
When Zhou Zhiquan heard about eating, he was the first to respond, "Here we come, here we come!"
He just heard his mother instructing the kitchen to prepare some dishes, all of which were their favorites.
"Fifth brother, wait for me!" Zhou Qiongyue, the foodie, heard about food and started chasing after Zhou Zhiquan.
For a moment, the only people standing outside the door were Zhou Wencan and Zhou Zhiyi.
Zhou Zhiyi made a great gesture to his father and said, "Dad, you've worked hard!"
Zhou Wencan always felt that his son was very clever, as if he could see through him. "Don't talk nonsense. Your uncle fell down by himself. It has nothing to do with me."
"Oh... my son means that Dad, you have worked hard on this trip, what are you thinking about?" Zhou Zhiyi's eyes sparkled. See, he guessed it again.
Zhou Wencan looked at his eldest son's knowing eyes and thought to himself, "Son, what a nuisance!" He quickly shouted, "Madam, I'm back."
He just walked past his annoying eldest son and went straight inside.
Zhou Zhiyi looked at his father who was trying to cover his ears and steal the bell and running away, and the smile on his face became even bigger. He also chased after his father and strode inside.
By the time Zhou Wencan and Zhou Zhiyi went in, Zhou Zhiquan and Zhou Qiongyue had already explained Zhou Wenfu's injuries in detail.
When Zhou Wencan and Zhou Zhiyi arrived, they heard Madam Jin say, "I'll bring some supplements tomorrow to visit your Third Uncle. Your Third Aunt has a hard time, too. She has to manage the household expenses of the Marquis' Mansion and take care of your Third Uncle."
Zhou Wencan knew that his wife also wanted to watch the fun, or wanted to take advantage of the situation. He felt that he and his wife were a perfect match.
"Mom, can you take me with you? My third uncle is in such a state. I would feel bad if I don't go to see him." In order to join in the fun, Zhou Qiongyue did not forget to make a gesture of feeling uncomfortable after she finished speaking.
Zhou Zhiquan also wanted to go, but he had to accompany his elder and second brothers to college tomorrow. Alas, it was so hard to be a younger brother.
Zhou Wencan had no intention of stopping his wife and daughter, but he still reminded them, "When you two go, just bring something that Third Brother can use. The thought is what matters most."
Zhou Zhiyi said that he had learned something from it. If someone is reluctant to give expensive things, just emphasize the thought behind it.
No matter what, Jin and Zhou Qiongyue were both very satisfied with what their husband/father said.
After this incident, the Marquis' Mansion quickly calmed down. It was truly peaceful. Zhou Wenfu from the third room was lying in bed recovering from an illness. While Sun was taking care of Zhou Wenfu, she was holding onto the housekeeper's power tightly and was unwilling to let go.
Although the household staff in the Marquis' Mansion can't make much money, those who have tasted the power will not turn back until they hit a wall.
Jin didn't care about that. As long as it didn't delay her daughter's coming-of-age ceremony, it was fine.
Time soon arrived at the day when Zhou Qiongyue came of age. On this day, the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion was decorated with lights and was particularly festive.
Before dawn, Zhou Qiongyue was pulled out of her quilt by her mother, Jin, and her men, and then she was subjected to a series of beatings.
By the time Zhou Qiongyue finally sat down at the dressing table, it was already early in the morning. By this time, Zhou Qiongyue had already put on three layers of clothes.
Today she was wearing a dress that only a princess could wear. It looked pretty, but Zhou Qiongyue felt it was heavy and cumbersome.
Especially after putting on the accessories around her waist and the bracelets on her hands, Zhou Qiongyue walked very carefully. There was no other way, they were too precious.
If it was damaged a little, she would be so heartbroken that she couldn't sleep all night, because they were the most precious things in her box.
As soon as Zhou Qiongyue sat in front of the dressing table, Gu Yu immediately brought food over and said, "Miss, I'll serve you some first."
Zhou Qiongyue was no longer being pretentious at this time. After all the trouble, she was indeed hungry.
After Zhou Qiongyue finished eating, Jin came over with her people.
Jin left the servants outside and combed Zhou Qiongyue's hair herself.
Zhou Qiongyue took Jin's hand and said, "Mother..."
"My daughter Yue'er has grown up and is about to get married. Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will always be with you."
Jin was worried about her life, about her not being able to control the servants, about her being sad because her husband took a concubine, and so on.
However, Jin had no way of telling her daughter about all these worries, for fear of discouraging her courage to move forward.
She could only bury all these in her heart, hoping that she could give her daughter unlimited courage so that she would not be afraid no matter what she encountered.
Zhou Qiongyue had never been a mother before, so she didn't know how a mother felt when she saw her daughter grow up. But she was a daughter now, and she just wanted her mother to live a good life for the rest of her life. "Mom, your daughter has grown up and is very capable! Your daughter will support you in the future, so don't be afraid."
"Okay! Okay! Mother is not afraid either!" Jin tried her best to keep her voice steady, not wanting her daughter to hear anything unusual in her voice.
