Zhou Qiongyue was not curious about what happened to her father. She nodded obediently and took her people to her mother's Xieyangyuan.
It wasn't that Zhou Qiongyue didn't go to pay her respects to her grandmother first, but mainly because she returned the greetings frequently, and her grandmother was too lazy to see her, so she didn't have to go to pay her respects so often. As an obedient and filial granddaughter, she would definitely listen to her grandmother.
However, Zhou Qiongyue speculated that it might be because her status had changed after she got married. Her grandmother knew she couldn't do anything to her, so she just turned a blind eye.
Zhou Qiongyue hadn't expected that the "something" her father mentioned meant going to beat up her third uncle. She waited until she had finished lunch with her parents and listened to Gu Yu's words on the carriage on the way back.
Maids like them also have their own channels of information.
Zhou Qiongyue sighed inwardly. No wonder the atmosphere between her grandfather and her father was so strange in her grandfather's study today. Third Uncle must have done something to anger her father again, and that's why he took his anger out on her grandfather. A son's debt is owed by his father! She understood.
Zhou Wenfu: While you are lying in your house, the pot will come from the sky.
Zhou Qiongyue was a little regretful. If she had known that her father was going to beat up Uncle San, she would have acted coquettishly and followed her. She likes the most to watch this kind of excitement.
As for Marquis Xuanping, after coming out of the Wenwu Hall, he sent someone to bring news to Concubine Xie, mainly scolding her and saying that she couldn't even control a man.
Today in the Civil and Military Palace, the Second Prince did not give him any extra face and always stood on the side of Marquis Cheng'en. He felt that this marriage was a loss.
Another thing is to let Xie Zixin persuade the Second Prince to let the Queen ignore Zhou Qiongyue.
Marquis Xuanping felt that he didn't believe that if Zhou Wencan's family lost the favor of the Queen Mother, they would still be so arrogant.
As for Xie Zixin, after receiving the message from her father, Marquis Xuanping, she smashed a bunch of things in the house and went a little crazy, muttering non-stop, "Zhou Qiongyue, it's you again, it's you again! Why do you always want to pick on me?"
After Xie Zixin had vented her anger and calmed down to think carefully, she realized how much she had paid for this impulsive behavior.
The price was too high, but it made Xie Zixin sober up a lot. Now that her two brothers were also crippled, she had to get revenge no matter what.
But Xie Zixin thought about it over and over again, but in the end she couldn't come up with a good solution. She began to see clearly that the only cards in her hand were the child in her belly and the second prince.
Xie Zixin was a bit more self-aware than Xuanping Hou. She didn't even expect the Queen to ignore that bitch Zhou Qiongyue for her. She was lucky enough that she didn't get humiliated because of that bitch.
After sobering up a bit, Xie Zixin decided to capture the Second Prince's heart first before discussing other matters. Anyway, she was pregnant now, and the Second Prince would definitely visit her often, so there would be no worries about not being able to cultivate feelings between them.
Xie Zixin didn't believe that anyone could destroy the relationship between the Second Prince, given how well she knew him. She firmly believed that as long as she was willing to put in the effort to get him to love her, he would eventually love only her.
What Xie Zixin didn't know was that Duan Jianing, the wife, was also pregnant. She was even pregnant a month earlier than Xie Zixin, but Duan Jianing was being cautious and decided to wait until she was a little further along in the pregnancy. The main goal was to keep it a secret for as long as possible.
Furthermore, Duan Jianing's menstrual belt was washed by her personal maid every month. Furthermore, she looked weak and constantly taking medicine, which made her look like she had trouble having children, so no one thought about it that way.
Now that Xie Zixin is pregnant, Duan Jianing can't wait to exempt Xie Zixin from paying respects! This can also prevent the two from meeting and being noticed by Xie Zixin.
Xie Zixin thought that the queen was so easy to talk to this time because she was pregnant and that bitch Duan Jianing had given in.
Xie Zixin's reaction was completely beyond Xuanping Hou's consideration. What he was more anxious about now was the current situation.
As soon as he returned home with his two sons, someone came to inform him that his wife was waiting for him in the main courtyard!
Marquis Xuanping could only order his servants to serve the two young masters well, and he hurried to the main courtyard.
When Lady Xu, the wife of the Marquis of Xuanping, saw the Marquis, she immediately went to greet him and asked, "Marquis, have you caught the murderer behind this?"
Marquis Xuanping shook his head in frustration. "No, Prince Fu'an is too cunning. We simply don't have enough evidence."
Xu was very calm at this moment. When something like this happened, she wanted to strive for the best interests for her son. "I have found out who did it. Would you like to see it, Lord?"
Upon hearing this, Marquis Xuanping paused, "Let me see!"
At that moment, Marquis Xuanping felt that it would be better for him not to come back. They were all sons. Now that the two legitimate sons were abolished, was he going to abolish several illegitimate sons as well?
After Marquis Xuanping finished reading it, his hands began to tremble even more violently.
Marquis Xuanping knew he was in the wrong and tried to promise Xu: "Madam, my title will never fall into the hands of these people! The title will be given to whichever child you like. What do you think, Madam?"
Xu's fingers dug into her flesh beneath her sleeves, revealing her anger. "Then give it to Yuan'er! Tomorrow you should write a memorial to the Emperor, requesting that the crown prince be appointed instead."
Yuan'er is the eldest son of Xu's eldest son. His name is Xie Liyuan and he is now five years old.
Xuan Ping Hou did not want to agree. After all, how could the title be passed on to a grandson while his sons were still alive? He always felt that it was not auspicious enough.
Marquis Xuanping tried to discuss the matter with his wife in a gentle tone. "Yuan'er is still too young, and it's hard to tell right now. There are also obedient children in the backyard. Why don't you take a look and see which one you like?"
For Xu, no matter how gentle Xuanping Hou's tone was, it could not conceal the fact that this man did not want to give the title to her and her son.
Xu endured it for a moment and decided to give Marquis Xuanping another chance. "Is this really necessary?"
Marquis Xuanping thought his wife had accepted this idea, so he took the initiative to hold Xu's hand and sighed helplessly, "Madam, the inheritance of the title is a serious matter. I can't let the title of Marquis Xuanping decline in my hands."
Xu was silent for a moment, as if accepting her fate. "I will obey the Marquis."
After Xu finished speaking, she naturally handed Marquis Xuanping a cup of brewed tea.
At this time, Xu had already given in, so it was impossible for Xuanping Hou to refuse. He not only accepted it with a smile, but also praised her, "Madam, you understand your husband the best."
Xu was quite nervous at this moment, but she still pretended to be calm, "First of all, the person you choose cannot be someone I don't like."
Marquis Xuanping happily drank the tea in one gulp, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Madam."
When Xu saw that Marquis Xuanping had drunk it, she felt relieved and immediately ordered the servants to prepare lunch.
