Liu had never thought her daughter would become like this. She was afraid that her third son would be beaten for no reason. At this moment, Liu was angry and anxious: "Your Majesty, no, I don't need your help to find a position for the third son."
Seeing her mother's genuine anxiety, the Queen couldn't help but sigh in her heart, so she advised: "Mother, Third Brother may be quite happy with his current life. You and Father should stop being so self-righteous and self-satisfied that you offend others on his behalf."
"If your Majesty doesn't want to help, then forget it. There's no need to say such sarcastic words." Liu Shi also realized that she couldn't take advantage of her daughter, so after she finished speaking, she added, "I'll take my leave!"
Liu performed the ceremony perfunctorily and turned away without waiting for the queen's reaction.
The Queen almost fainted from anger. She angrily ordered, "Recently, the old lady of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion sent a letter requesting an audience, but she directly refused."
The queen felt that if Liu was not her biological mother, she would have a hundred ways to deal with her.
When the wife of Marquis Cheng'en left the palace, she claimed to be sick in the mansion. Fortunately, Jin reacted quickly and immediately ordered the mansion to block the news.
Then she asked someone to bring back Zhou Wenjun, who was fine, to comfort Liu, and only then did Jin breathe a sigh of relief.
If rumors spread that the queen had made her mother sick, it would be a disaster. Jin even wanted to kill this troublesome mother-in-law.
Wait until the old Marquis Cheng'en and Marquis Cheng'en Zhou Wencan come back in the evening (although some procedures have not been completed, the imperial edict has been issued and everything is set in stone, so the title has been changed).
When he heard the news, even the old marquis, who always tried to smooth things over, couldn't help but get angry.
In front of the whole family, the old marquis was so angry that he issued a final ultimatum, "If you continue to make trouble and bring trouble to the Empress in the palace, you will have to go back to your Liu family. Our Zhou family can't afford a big Buddha like you."
Liu was so shocked that she immediately sat up from the bed and asked in disbelief, "What do you mean, Lord? You still want to divorce me at such an old age?"
"If you dare to bring trouble upon the Empress in the palace, I will truly divorce you. The Empress in the palace is the foundation of the Zhou family. If the Empress's reputation is tarnished in the slightest, even the death of you and the Third Brother would not be enough to atone for your sin."
The old marquis spoke so harshly at this time, and he really had been pushed to the limit.
If the Second Prince could succeed to the throne, the Zhou family would not have to worry about their livelihood for at least three generations. Therefore, he would not allow anyone to hinder the Empress in the palace.
Not even he and his wife.
When the third son, Zhou Wenfu, who had been serving beside his father, heard his father say this, he rarely picked up a vase next to him and smashed it to the ground.
He glared at the old marquis and the old lady, and shouted angrily: "What does this have to do with me? Have I caused any trouble recently? Can you two stop doing disgusting things in the name of doing good for me?
Since I was little, you two have always said that you doted on me the most."
Zhou Wenfu pointed at himself in disappointment, "Oh, you dote on me the most, so you feel sorry for me because I'm studying hard, so you advise me not to study. You feel sorry for me because I'm practicing martial arts, so you let me not practice martial arts.
You said I am your two most beloved child, and I have my own future!
May I ask you two, where is my future?
Even so, I accepted my fate. I just wanted to eat and drink and live a leisurely life.
But what about you two? Every other day, you use my name to make trouble for your elder brother, your second brother, and your younger sister. Have you two paid anything for it?
I always bear the consequences of your actions."
Zhou Wenfu felt that he was also in great pain, even a little hysterical. He even squatted on the ground in sadness. Didn't he envy his elder brother, second brother and younger sister when he saw their lives getting better and better?
It’s not like he hasn’t fought for it before, and it’s not like he hasn’t tried hard before.
But he is neither good at literature nor martial arts, and he can't even recognize many words. The more he does, the more mistakes he makes. What can he do?
He even went to school seriously for more than a year that year, and then started to live a lazy life in the mansion, and only went to the college occasionally afterwards.
What can he do? And what can he do well?
If it weren't for his eldest brother who often disciplined him and his second brother who often advised him, he might not even have the heart to be content.
However, because of Yue Yatou's incident, the relationship between him and his elder brother was completely broken.
"Are you thinking about my future, or are you just unable to bear having a good-for-nothing son like me and dislike me for bringing shame to you?"
After Zhou Wenfu finished questioning, he turned around and walked out. He didn't want to see these hypocritical people in the mansion at all.
He didn't say 'hate', but every word he said was full of hate.
Sun tried to stop Zhou Wenfu, but was kicked by the angry Zhou Wenfu, "Get out of here!"
Zhou Wenfu has been dissatisfied with this wife for a long time. She compares her family with others all day long. She doesn't even consider whether her family can compare with the families of her elder and second sisters-in-law.
If I could really sleep with someone like my elder and second brothers, how could I possibly marry him?
When the second brother Zhou Wenjun saw his third brother leaving, he was afraid that something might happen, so he immediately chased after him.
Only a room full of confused people were left, and the most confused among them were the old marquis and the old lady. They had to face a problem, 'The third brother hates them!'
Zhou Wencan also reacted at this time, and immediately took his wife Jin's hand and saluted in one breath, "My son/daughter-in-law, take your leave!"
Seeing this, the second wife also hurriedly bowed and said, "My daughter-in-law is also leaving!"
For a moment, the only people left in the room were the old marquis, the old lady, and Sun.
Sun covered her kicked leg, her face ashen, but she still endured the pain and bowed to leave.
The old marquis looked at Sun and gave her a direct order: "Prepare the account books for the mansion and hand over the household expenses to the eldest daughter-in-law within three days. As for the difference, you will pay half, and your mother and I will pay half."
The old marquis knew that his third son resented him, so he didn't dare to make trouble anymore, for fear that the eldest son would deal with the third son again, and the third son would really hate him to death.
What could Sun do? She could only say yes. Fortunately, the account didn't have much money missing; her mother-in-law had already filled the gaps.
For a moment, the only people left in the room were Liu, who was crying silently, and the old marquis.
Old Marquis Zhou Moyang thought about what his third son had just said about what he and his wife had done. They were both really confused! No matter how much he doted on his son, how could he let him not study or practice martial arts?
"Okay, stop crying! Fu'er blames us for the bad things we did when we were young, but we don't blame him."
At this moment, the old marquis Zhou Moyang felt a deep sense of powerlessness all over his body.
"You blame me, you all blame me!" Liu was really devastated at this time. She thought that in the heart of her third son, she should be the best mother in the world.
After all, she was his wife, so the old marquis finally coaxed her, "Let's both live happily in the mansion from now on! We can even live in another courtyard. Don't get involved in the affairs of young people. I'll accompany you."
It was the old marquis who moved Liu to live in the other courtyard, but he said, "I will accompany you."
