Just at this time, Zhou Qiongyue came.
Old Marquis Zhou Moyang immediately asked, "Yue'er, can you tell me what's going on?"
Zhou Qiongyue ignored the anxious people present and slowly sat down next to her father before she spoke, "Grandfather, please give me a hundred thousand taels of silver to calm my nerves! Otherwise, I'll have to deal with Third Uncle."
Zhou Wencan didn't even ask, and directly stood on his daughter's side. "It's okay. If your grandfather won't give it to you, your father will help you deal with your third uncle. You don't have to do it yourself."
The old lady Liu leaned on the old marquis's arms, glaring at Zhou Qiongyue. In her heart, she cursed Zhou Qiongyue, "How dare this damn girl ask for it!"
Liu Rongxuan just huddled quietly in the corner, head down, trying to minimize her presence. She wasn't afraid, though.
That's because Liu Rongxuan didn't think that the people present could do anything to her. Although she was unwilling to become the old marquis's concubine, the Empress had issued an imperial decree, and even if her father came in person, there was nothing they could do.
Now she only hoped that the old marquis would treat her kindly for her father's sake.
The old marquis knew something about his granddaughter and knew that Zhou Qiongyue said this because his wife had offended her again.
The old marquis could only sigh and ordered the servant beside him to fetch a deed to a large farm near Yuan'an.
The old marquis had no cash left, but this large piece of fertile land was acquired through his careful scrimping and searching for opportunities over the past few years. He planned to keep it well for two years and give it to the third son as a support when the family was divided.
At this time, he could only give it to this granddaughter. He still remembered the third child's hysteria last time. If the third child was implicated by his wife again, he would definitely hate the couple.
He would try to find a good one for the third child later! He and his wife were both in good health and should be able to hold on for a few more years.
The old marquis could only comfort himself in this way to hide his heartache when his granddaughter held the land deed in her hand, which he had not even warmed up yet.
Zhou Qiongyue saw her grandfather's reluctant look, and she couldn't help but explain herself, "Grandfather, don't feel bad. After you listen to what your granddaughter has to say, you might even want to give her another one."
The old marquis was speechless. Even though it was his own granddaughter, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, "He gave her another one. It's not a piece of junk. He has a lot of them. He must be very poor!"
But since the things had been given, there was no point in being heartbroken and reluctant to part with them, so the old marquis simply ordered, "You should take the things too, and tell me what's going on!"
Zhou Qiongyue was originally very angry in the palace, but now that she got this big farm, she was not so angry anymore.
It turns out that money can cure all unhappiness.
Zhou Qiongyue was in a good mood and spoke clearly about the incident, "Grandmother wanted to give Liu Rongxuan to the prince as a concubine. Liu Rongxuan also knelt in front of her granddaughter and said that she wanted to go to the palace and serve the prince like a slave.
When her granddaughter didn't respond, Liu Rongxuan turned around and said that she liked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Some people even seem so ridiculous when they like someone. The Queen Aunt is not crazy to stuff such a person into the backyard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. "
After Zhou Qiongyue finished speaking, not only Zhou Wencan and Jin, but even Zhou Wenjun looked at Madam Liu in surprise. As for Zhou Wenfu, he followed Madam Sun back to her parents' home, as Madam Sun's mother happened to be ill.
So Zhou Wenfu and his wife were not present at this time.
Everyone at the scene wanted to know what Liu was thinking to do such a thing to upset her own granddaughter.
The old marquis pushed Liu away from his arms and looked at her in disbelief, "You're giving a concubine to Prince Fu'an?"
At this moment, the old marquis felt that he had never encountered such an outrageous thing in his life.
Liu still felt aggrieved! How could a man like the prince only have Zhou Qiongyue? Taking a concubine was only a matter of time. Although she had selfish motives, she did not really harm her granddaughter's interests. "Rongxuan is not an outsider, she won't compete with Yue'er!"
Marquis Cheng'en held it in for a long time, and only managed a few words, "Have you been struck by lightning? In the face of interests, let alone cousins who are thousands of miles apart, even sisters will turn against each other.
"Why do you care whether the prince takes a concubine or not? He's not your son. Are you getting senile?"
From the last three questions, it can be seen that the old marquis was really angry this time.
Liu was crying even more, "I just wanted to help my family..."
The old marquis really couldn't do anything with this lady. She would get him into trouble whenever he wasn't paying attention. "Then I'll write a letter of divorce and send you back to the Liu Mansion. You can help me in any way you want."
This is not the first time that the old marquis has mentioned divorcing Liu, but if there is a reason, the first time he said it might be more intimidating, but if he said it too many times, it would be just that.
But Liu still cared and sobbed as she pulled the old marquis's sleeve.
Brothers Zhou Wencan and Zhou Wenjun both turned their faces away tacitly. They felt inexplicably embarrassed to see their mother like this.
Seeing Liu like this, the old marquis was so angry that he couldn't swallow it or spit it out. He just sat down dejectedly and said, "You three brothers, divide the family property among yourself!"
As soon as the old marquis said this, everyone present had a look of surprise on their face.
Even the crying Liu was no exception, "No, you can't divide it!"
"You don't have the final say. The husband is the head of the wife." The old marquis didn't even look at Liu, but turned and instructed Zhou Wencan, "Can'er, inform all the elders tomorrow that I want to divide the family."
The old marquis now realized that Liu's way of doing things was impossible to change. He couldn't really divorce her.
After all, the queen has a divorced mother, so she really doesn't look very good.
In order to prevent the third brother from being urged by Liu to do more unmanageable things in the future, it is better to divide the family as soon as possible. In case something happens to him at that time.
Since the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion had already split up, Liu followed the eldest brother's family according to the rules, so she couldn't do anything naughty even if she wanted to.
Otherwise, if something happens and the Liu family moves all the people from the Marquisate to the Liu Mansion, it will be a huge joke.
Seeing that the old marquis was really angry, Liu didn't dare to say anything. She could only glare at Zhou Qiongyue hatefully, and then glare at Liu Rongxuan hatefully.
At this time, the old lady Liu hated her niece who was about to snatch her husband from her.
Zhou Wencan was overjoyed when he heard his father say that. He quickly agreed and went out to find someone to inform them. He didn't want to wait until tomorrow; the sooner the division was done, the more peace of mind he would have!
Things have come to this point and everyone has dispersed.
The only ones left at the scene were the old marquis, the old lady and Liu Rongxuan (now she should be called Aunt Liu).
The old marquis couldn't possibly expose his daughter's status, so he directly said to Concubine Liu, "You can live in Pingshui Courtyard! If you don't like the name, you can change it yourself. I only have one request of you: be obedient."
