The reason why Marquis Cheng'en was so generous was to sell this eldest granddaughter. Although this eldest granddaughter had no fate with the second prince, she was the eldest son's only daughter and a legitimate daughter. This meant that her future husband's family would not be ordinary people.
If you don't treat your granddaughter well before she gets married, and only ask for help when something happens, it's strange that they will pay attention to you. Marquis Cheng'en believes that feelings are the foundation of everything.
Moreover, Marquis Cheng'en didn't think his granddaughter had much private property or assets, so why not just sell one of his granddaughters?
The more generous Marquis Cheng'en is now, the more regret he will have later.
No matter what Marquis Cheng'en was thinking at the moment, Zhou Qiongyue was extremely happy when she received the promise, and even the fatigue of sitting in the carriage for a whole day disappeared.
She folded the paper carefully and put it in her arms.
Seeing his daughter like this, the Marquis of Cheng'en said with amusement, "Little money-grubber."
Zhou Qiongyue didn't care what they thought. She just said nice words as if she didn't want any money, which made Marquis Cheng'en very happy.
"Now that we've finished talking about everything, let's set the table! Yue-ya-tou will eat with us."
Marquis Cheng'en was in a good mood and didn't want to pay attention to the rules. Besides, Yue Yatou was the only female relative present, so she was eating alone. Marquis Cheng'en felt very pitiful, so he decided not to be that annoying grandfather.
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Zhou Qiongyue thanked him happily. She couldn't be happier to have dinner with her father and elder brother.
Zhou Qiongyue doesn't think it's good to eat alone. If you order too much, it's a waste. If you order too little, you won't enjoy the food. But if you have more people, you don't have to worry about this.
Zhou Wencan and Zhou Zhiyi, the sons of Marquis Cheng'en, were also very happy. They also wanted to have dinner with their daughter/sister every day.
Marquis Cheng'en looked at the cheerful Zhou Wencan and the other two, and for the first time he felt that it was not bad to turn a blind eye sometimes, and there was no need to be so serious at home.
It can be said that everyone enjoyed this dinner.
After dinner, Zhou Qiongyue immediately took over the management of this temporary courtyard. Fortunately, she had managed people in her previous life, and Jin had also told her a lot during this period.
Otherwise, if she suddenly took over this matter, she might not be able to manage it properly. However, Zhou Qiongyue still took over this job without any danger.
After setting the rules for this temporary courtyard and assigning responsibilities to people, Zhou Qiongyue felt relieved.
She could go out with the noble ladies whenever she wanted, and her grandfather and father wouldn't say anything. Sometimes the Empress would send someone to summon her.
Anyway, Zhou Qiongyue lived quite comfortably in this royal hunting ground. After all, she was the biggest in the backyard, and this feeling of freedom was addictive.
However, tomorrow was the day the Emperor would organize a spring hunt, with generous rewards. Even so, Zhou Qiongyue had no plans to leave tomorrow. Such crowded events were prone to chaos. She had finally been given a second chance at life, so she cherished it.
"Miss, which one do you want to wear tomorrow?" Gu Ju asked Zhou Qiongyue while holding several sets of clothes of different colors and styles.
Zhou Qiongyue came back to her senses from looking at the account book, glanced at it casually, and decided, "Let's go with the red riding suit!"
"Miss, are you going to ride a horse tomorrow?"
Gu Ju asked with a little curiosity. After all, the young lady had been telling them that she would not leave tomorrow.
"Even if you're not going out, at least dress neatly so you don't look too special. Otherwise, tomorrow, when a bunch of noble ladies are wearing riding clothes, your daughter will be the only one wearing a loose scarf. It will be so conspicuous!"
"Miss, you are wise!" Guju immediately agreed.
Gulan teased, "That's all you know. You think everything the young lady says is wise."
Gu Ju was teased by Gu Lan, but she was not angry. She just touched her hair a little embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, I really think what the young lady said is right."
"Gulan, stop teasing Guju. If she gets angry, you'll have to coax her for a long time."
Zhou Qiongyue now likes the four maids around her very much: Gulan is in charge of all things around her; Guyu is good at cooking; Guju is honest and takes care of her clothes and jewelry, and is also their happy pill; Gumei is good at pharmacology and has good skills.
With this configuration, it would have been top-notch even in her previous life. The key point is that these people grew up with the original owner and are extremely loyal.
"Miss, please be partial to this girl Guju!"
Don’t think that Gulan looks jealous now. Whenever something happens to Guju, Gulan runs away very fast.
Seeing that they were getting more and more excited, Zhou Qiongyue could only interrupt them quickly and said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense and pack up and go to bed early! You'll be exhausted in the next few days!"
"Yes..." When Gulan and the others heard what the young lady said, they quickly packed up and helped Zhou Qiongyue to sleep.
The next day, Zhou Qiongyue woke up and her right eyelid kept twitching. She felt a pang in her heart, wondering if something big was going to happen today.
Zhou Qiongyue felt uneasy, so when Guju asked her to put on the bracelet, she chose the bracelet with a hidden weapon that her mother gave her before she left without hesitation.
Zhou Qiongyue also asked Gumei to check her clothes and accessories several times, for fear that she would be ambushed by others.
When she finally went out, Zhou Qiongyue carefully brought the thoughtful Gulan and the skilled Gumei with her, all for her safety.
Zhou Qiongyue took two maids out of the yard, but she was still worried. She looked at the sky and guessed that it was still early, so she took them directly to the front yard.
When Zhou Qiongyue arrived at the front yard, Marquis Cheng'en, his son and eldest brother Zhou Zhiyi were also ready and were about to take their people out.
The Marquis of Cheng'en was very surprised to see his daughter and hurried over to greet her, "Yue'er, why are you here?"
Zhou Zhiyi was originally talking to his grandfather. He saw his father move, and immediately looked over. Seeing that it was his younger sister, he immediately followed her.
Marquis Cheng'en was no longer surprised by the behavior of this father and son. During this period of time, he had seen what it meant to be daughter-con and sister-con.
Even if Yue Yatou blinked a few more times, his eldest son and grandson would be extremely nervous.
He has now gone from being incredulous at first to being calm and even smiling normally. What else can he do? Even if he teaches her a lesson, she will still do the same thing next time even if she agrees to do it.
The most common thing he told himself during this period was, "If you are not deaf or dumb, you will not be a father-in-law."
When Zhou Qiongyue saw her father and eldest brother coming to greet her, she smiled and saluted, "Father, eldest brother."
Time was pressing, and the Marquis of Cheng'en just wanted to know what happened to his daughter so he could quickly help her resolve the issue and go to today's spring hunt with peace of mind. "What's wrong?"
