After Jin knew that her daughter was pregnant, she became even more worried about Zhou Qiongyue. She was afraid that her daughter and son-in-law didn't understand each other, so she often found excuses to visit her.
The simplest and most undoubted reason is that he had a quarrel with Zhou Wencan. After a day or two, the two had a big fight.
Jin angrily took people to Zhou Wencan's private warehouse in the front yard to look for things, and then went to Prince Fu'an's Mansion with the newly found good things.
She would stay there for the whole day. If Zhou Wencan didn't go to pick her up, Jin would just stay in Prince Fu'an's mansion.
But most of the time, after finishing his shift, Zhou Wencan would take a carriage to Prince Fu'an's Mansion, have dinner with his daughter, son-in-law and his wife, and then take his wife back to Marquis Cheng'en's Mansion.
At the beginning, brothers Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhiquan were very nervous, but every time they were about to persuade them, the two of them reconciled.
Over time, Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhiquan could only pretend not to know.
Especially Zhou Zhiyi, that shrewd guy. Ever since he suspected that his parents were faking their quarrel, he began to observe carefully.
After observing for a while, he was absolutely certain that his parents were faking their quarrel. As for why, he thought about it all night, and after eliminating all the possible reasons, he finally figured out what his parents were up to.
Later, Jin and Zhou Wencan used this trick again, and Zhou Zhiyi was considerate enough to cover for them.
On the contrary, the concubines and illegitimate daughters in the backyard were ecstatic at first because they thought that Jin's status would be shaken, but later they became desperate when they saw that no matter how Jin made a fuss, the prince would go to pick her up.
In the end, the aunts and concubines in the backyard were extremely obedient, fearing that the prince would not be able to love Jin and would vent his anger on them.
They don't have the confidence of the Jin family. They have already imagined many big dramas on their own.
Even Zhou Qiongyue would joke every time she saw her mother, "Dad, what made Mom angry today?"
Yuan Bohua, who knew the truth, had to try hard to hold back his laughter every time. He was really impressed by his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
What Zhou Wencan didn't expect was that after he and Jin did this, the first person to get restless was his father, Marquis Cheng'en.
On this day, Zhou Wencan had just finished his shift and was about to go to Prince Fu'an's mansion to pick up his wife when he saw his father, Marquis Cheng'en, waiting for him at the carriage.
Zhou Wencan saw it and calmly walked up to him, bowed and called out, "Father!"
"Are you going to pick up Jin again? Let's walk together for a while!" After saying this, Marquis Cheng'en turned around and got on the carriage.
Zhou Wencan followed Marquis Cheng'en and got on the carriage.
Marquis Cheng'en looked at his eldest son who had followed him, frowning and saying in a very unhappy tone, "What's going on between you and Jin? The nobles of Yuan'an are all laughing at you two."
Zhou Wencan saw his father specially come to the place where he was off duty to wait, thinking that there was something important! But it turned out to be like this...
Zhou Wencan leaned casually against the carriage wall and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing serious. I was just joking with my wife. My son misses his daughter, so this way he can see her every now and then. How nice!"
After he finished speaking, he nodded with a look of great satisfaction.
Marquis Cheng'en... He thought of many reasons, but he never expected that it was just that the eldest couple couldn't bear to part with their child and were still making trouble at their old age.
Marquis Cheng'en was silent for a moment, then angrily scolded, "Nonsense! You two or three children have grown up, but you still don't know how to handle the seriousness of the matter.
Yue girl is married, and she married well. No one will let her suffer any injustice. You and Jin should also learn to let go.
What kind of parents would pester their children all day long? It's simply not decent."
Zhou Wencan didn't take these gossips to heart at all. At the moment, his daughter's safe birth was more important. And for someone like him who was a knife in the hands of the emperor, it wouldn't be a good thing if his personality was too good.
Zhou Wencan then bowed to his father and said, "Don't worry, father. Your son and I are well aware of this."
"I know, but you have no idea. You two stop it right now. If you continue to make trouble for your father, I will..." Marquis Cheng'en thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason to threaten him.
Finally, he was silent for a while, then added, "If you two continue to act recklessly, I will let your mother decide on the choice of Zhou Zhiquan's legal wife."
"Oh, Zhou Zhiquan is your grandson, so you can let your mother do whatever she wants. Anyway, if the candidate doesn't meet your son's standards, I will make the third son disappear from this world."
Anyway, he is more ruthless, and Zhou Wencan feels that he is no kinder than his father.
Zhou Wencan's words struck a chord with Marquis Cheng'en. He suddenly stood up, his head making direct contact with the carriage roof. There was a thud, and Zhou Wencan felt pain just hearing it.
Of course, Marquis Cheng'en also gasped in pain. But this couldn't hide his anger, and he roared loudly, "Evil son, that's your own brother!"
"Then Quan'er is still your grandson! As I said, you are on the first day and I am on the fifteenth." When Zhou Wencan said this, his whole body was extremely relaxed.
He felt that his father would not dare to gamble.
Marquis Cheng'en glared at Zhou Wencan, but seeing that his son looked unconcerned, he was the first to give in and was defeated.
When Marquis Cheng'en said this, his face was full of helplessness, "What exactly do you want me to do to stop?"
"Don't worry, father! It won't affect the queen and the princes." Zhou Wencan only promised this seriously. It was up to his father to believe it or not.
After that, neither Zhou Wencan nor Cheng Enhou said anything else. After all, their faces had just turned red, and it would take a while to restore the atmosphere of fatherly love and filial piety between them.
When they reached the fork in the road, Zhou Wencan bowed directly to Marquis Cheng'en, jumped off the stopped carriage, and rode away on horseback.
Marquis Cheng'en lifted the curtain of the carriage and was about to give more instructions when he was met with a face full of dust.
Marquis Cheng'en was so angry that he slammed the curtain of the carriage down.
Here, Zhou Wencan and his wife were worried about Zhou Qiongyue, while Xuanping Hou and his wife were also worried about Xie Zixin.
The wife of the Marquis of Xuanping also sent a letter to the Second Prince's residence, requesting to see Xie Zixin. The letter was handed to the principal wife Duan Jianing, who did not want to make the decision and directly ordered someone to deliver the letter directly to the Second Prince's front yard.
The Second Prince read the post and replied with a single word, "Accurate!"
He also hoped that the wife of Marquis Xuanping could persuade Xie Zixin to be more obedient and not do anything suicidal.
When the wife of Marquis Xuanping received the reply from the Second Prince's Mansion, she immediately ordered people to prepare gifts.
The next day, I went directly to the Second Prince's Mansion with gifts.
The second prince knew that the wife of Marquis Xuanping would come today. After attending the morning court, he did not go home but went directly to the palace to see his mother.
The wife of Marquis Xuanping went to visit the principal wife Duan Jianing first with gifts. Duan Jianing did not make things difficult for the wife of Marquis Xuanping. She just said a few polite words and then asked the wife of Marquis Xuanping to go and see Concubine Xie.
He also calmly rejected the request of Lady Xuanping Hou to see the emperor's granddaughter.
