When Zhou Qiongyue woke up again, it was two days later. She first looked around the environment out of habit. Seeing that the surrounding furnishings were still ancient and colorful, she knew that she had been rescued and could not go back.
Just as she was about to take a closer look at the surrounding furnishings, she saw a dignified woman excitedly holding her hand, her eyes shining.
He rushed over and hugged her upper body: "Yue'er, you finally woke up! You scared me to death, are you hungry? Are you feeling unwell?"
This dignified woman kept touching her body while she spoke.
After this series of questions, Zhou Qiongyue's unclear mind became even more confused. Especially since she was still being held tightly in the arms of the original owner's mother.
Yes, she knew the original owner's name was Zhou Qiongyue, and this dignified woman was her mother. The biggest gain from her drowning was that she had the original owner's memories. As for where the original owner was now, she had no idea. She only vaguely heard her say something like, "I don't want to live another life."
But Zhou Qiongyue thought, since the original owner had even given her his memories, he must be gone. She probably couldn't return to that great era either, so she could only make the best of it. Fortunately, they had the same name, so adapting wasn't difficult.
Zhou Qiongyue also remembered that this was a novel she had read when she was bored. The original owner was the female supporting character in the book. The male protagonist was the second prince's cousin whom she had just met when she came here, and the female protagonist was his future prince consort Xie Zixin. They were truly in love.
Her character was ultimately forced to marry this cousin as a concubine. She provided money whenever the male protagonist needed it. She also provided connections whenever the male protagonist needed them. However, the male protagonist publicly stated on more than one occasion that he treated the original owner as a mere sister, a mere ornament in the backyard. He didn't deprive the original owner of much else, but in the brutal world of the harem, simply not being favored was enough to drive many to attack the original owner, both overtly and covertly.
This also led to the original owner's early death in the harem. What made Zhou Qiongyue most angry was that in the book, the original owner died, and the male protagonist only gave her a posthumous title, and that was it.
He didn't even bother to check how the original owner died. He just believed whatever the heroine said, wasting all the resources given by the original owner.
This was too far-fetched. The most urgent problem she needed to solve at the moment was that her mother was about to strangle her.
"Cough, cough, Mom, please let me go first. I can't breathe."
When Lady Jin, wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en, heard her daughter say this, she quickly let go of her daughter and looked her up and down nervously, fearing that something had happened to her.
Zhou Qiongyue was very moved when she saw Jin's anxious look. She thought to herself that Jin might never know that her daughter was no longer in this world.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't want to be treated as a monster, so this secret was destined to be kept secret. From now on, she would be Zhou Qiongyue, and these relatives would also be her relatives.
"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry! I'm just a little hungry."
At this time, Zhou Qiongyue's stomach also started singing at the right time.
When Zhou Qiongyue saw Jin's smiling eyes, she felt inexplicably embarrassed and buried her head in Jin's arms again.
Jin touched the top of her daughter's head, who was acting coquettishly in her arms, and said, "Look, I'm so confused..." After saying this, Jin immediately shouted outside, "Gulan, the young lady is awake, hurry up and bring food up. Call the court doctor to take a look!"
After Zhou Qiongyue saw her mother finish shouting, a young girl's happy voice came from outside the inner room, "Yes, I will go to the small kitchen and bring it myself."
Zhou Qiongyue guessed that this should be Gulan, one of the original owner's personal maids.
"You scared your mother and father this time. If your eldest brother hadn't been around, who knows what would have happened! Don't you dare leave the maidservants beside you anymore."
"Didn't my second cousin say that if he had anything to say, he should talk to his daughter in private, otherwise how could these things happen!" Zhou Qiongyue thought that this matter was not unfair to the male protagonist, so he should bear the blame himself! And the original owner was indeed gone.
When Jin heard her daughter say this, she immediately sat up straight and looked at her daughter seriously: "What did your cousin say to you alone?"
Before Zhou Qiongyue could reply to Jin, she heard a male voice coming from outside. The voice was quite pleasant, "What cousin?"
Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhiquan had hurried over after hearing from their subordinates that their sister had woken up. As soon as they arrived outside the door, they heard their mother asking their sister about her cousin. They thought that their second cousin had also bullied their sister, so they rushed in immediately without being informed.
"You are so rude. You entered your sister's room without notifying anyone." Jin looked at her two sons who came in a hurry. Although she scolded them, she couldn't hide the smile on her face. Who doesn't want their children to have a good relationship?
Zhou Zhiquan has always been impatient. He didn't care about his mother's indifferent words. Instead, he looked at Zhou Qiongyue anxiously: "Sister, tell me quickly, what did your cousin do to you?"
The eldest brother Zhou Zhiyi also looked at his sister anxiously, and was already thinking about how to report Li Jingchen's misdeeds to his aunt in the future.
Zhou Qiongyue felt warm at heart as she watched her relatives care about her so much. "It's nothing, it's just that my second cousin might have a lover. He told me that he only treats me as his own sister."
Upon hearing this, Jin frowned and looked at Zhou Qiongyue cautiously: "Then Yue'er, what do you mean?"
"What can I mean by that? I treat him as my real brother!" Zhou Qiongyue thought that since she couldn't be a bootlicker anyway, it would be about the same for her to find a bootlicker.
