Things had come to this point, and even if Liu Rongxuan had many thoughts in her mind, she didn't dare to make a fuss. After all, her aunt Liu Ruyan was drowned in the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion.
Liu Rongxuan could only nod her head obediently and hurriedly took her people away, fearing that her aunt would go crazy if she was late.
As soon as Liu Rongxuan left, only the old marquis and Liu were left in the room.
Liu looked at Zhou Moyang hesitantly, "Husband..."
Old Marquis Zhou Moyang looked at the old lady helplessly, "Don't bother. Although I really can't divorce you for the sake of my daughter, our Zhou family also has a family temple.
You don’t want to live a poor life when you’re old, do you?
Liu had a smooth life, but the biggest hardship she suffered was probably the first few years after her marriage when her brothers were all on guard against her going back to ask for money!
But as Zhou Moyang's official position became higher and higher, especially after her daughter became the queen, her worries were no longer a big deal.
When Zhou Moyang, who had been obedient to her for half his life, spoke to her like this, her first reaction was to explode, feeling that her sincerity had been betrayed. And the fear that rose from the bottom of her heart.
Liu said with a bluff, "Zhou Moyang, have you lost your conscience? You're so old and you still want to send me to the ancestral temple. That's not what you said when you asked to marry me."
"I don't regret marrying you. You've given me four children over the years. Except for Fu'er, who was ruined by you and me, the rest of the children are very good.
It’s because they’re all so good that I can’t let you hold them back.”
The old marquis was not just saying this; he truly did not regret marrying Liu. When Liu was young, she was also a lady of high social status with considerable means.
It's just that they've all been giving in to her over the years, and after the death of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, the Liu family has visibly declined. Something has changed in the lady's heart.
He was also responsible for not paying attention to these things in time. He now wanted to find a balance between his children and his wife.
The old marquis's words that he had no regrets about marrying her instantly calmed the irritable Liu, who only said aggrievedly, "But you have a concubine now."
"Have some sense. I didn't want to take this concubine. If you hadn't been so fussy, would these things have happened? When Quan'er got married, you and Yue'er got along so harmoniously that I thought you had repented."
After the old marquis finished speaking, he looked at Liu, who was crying even more sadly, and could only add helplessly: "Besides, I'm already so old that I don't have any thoughts about these things. Besides, there's a generation gap between us!"
The old marquis felt that he was not a beast and could not be attacked by anyone.
After hearing what the old marquis said, Liu finally stopped crying with satisfaction, "What about the division of the family?"
"It must be divided, and after the division, you will come back with me to our ancestral home in the south." This division of the family is the old marquis' bottom line.
Liu wanted to say something, but when she glanced at the old marquis's expression, she swallowed the words of objection that were about to come out of her mouth.
Liu had no choice but to focus on the other side, "Then will Concubine Liu go?"
"Go!" The old marquis was very disgusted with Liu Rongxuan. When something happened, although he was also angry that his wife was confused, he felt more that these things were instigated by Liu Rongxuan.
How could he safely leave such a person in the Marquis's mansion? If she plotted against any of his sons, it would be a huge scandal. It would be safer to bring her back to the ancestral home and keep her by his side.
The most important thing is that apart from the servants, he and his wife are the only ones left in the ancestral house.
People are like this. They won't easily think that they are wrong and that others are wrong.
When Liu heard the old marquis say this, her displeasure was clear on her face. But she didn't dare say anything else. Based on her many years of experience following the old marquis, she knew that the old marquis was really angry this time.
In the past, when the old marquis was angry, he only threatened to divorce her, but this time he even brought up the family temple.
After Zhou Qiongyue and Jin left, they went directly to Jin's Xieyang Courtyard. As soon as Jin entered the house, she couldn't help but scold her mother-in-law, "Old and confused."
She didn't dare to say anything more, even though Jin was about to be pissed off. But she still remembered that she was afraid of hearing ears.
"Mom, don't be angry. I haven't suffered any loss. The point is, this time it was a blessing in disguise. If we can really divide the family, that would be fantastic."
Zhou Qiongyue went over to massage Jin's shoulders and acted like a good girl to coax her.
Jin patted Zhou Qiongyue's hand and said earnestly, "You should learn more from your grandmother in this regard."
Zhou Qiongyue looked at Jin with doubt, her eyes seemed to say, "What's so good about learning this?"
Jin pinched her daughter's curious face speechlessly and said, "You, I didn't ask you to learn these things. You should learn the way your grandmother controls men!
You see, no matter how much trouble your grandmother got into, your grandfather was always all talk and no action. It's like he was bewitched!"
In this regard, even Jin admired her mother-in-law's methods.
Zhou Qiongyue smiled and said naturally, "This kind of thing is something that each family gradually sees and understands. It's impossible to learn it by yourself."
"You!" Jin said helplessly and said nothing else.
Zhou Qiongyue ultimately didn't have lunch at the Cheng'en Marquis's residence, mainly because she was worried about Yuan Chaokang. Since there wasn't anything else going on at the Cheng'en Marquis's residence, she still wanted to go back to the palace to have lunch with her son.
Jin looked at her daughter's back as she hurriedly left with her group and couldn't help but smile, "Finally, she looks like a mother."
Originally, Zhou Qiongyue thought that the division of the Cheng'en Marquis's family line had nothing to do with her, a granddaughter. She just waited for the division to be completed and gossiped with her mother, Jin, about how it was divided.
As a result, a few days later, someone from the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion came and asked her to be a witness.
Of course Zhou Qiongyue would not refuse the opportunity to go and watch the fun, so she immediately packed up and prepared to go out.
As a result, when she was about to go out, Yuan Chaokang also wanted to go.
Zhou Qiongyue thought that she had nothing to do today and she just wanted to watch the fun, so she brought Yuan Chaokang with her.
So when Zhou Qiongyue arrived, all the elders had already arrived, and Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Chaokang sat down. These elders were also quite polite when they saw Zhou Qiongyue.
After all, Zhou Qiongyue's current identity is both a glory and an invisible blessing for them.
Zhou Qiongyue was also respectful and polite to these elders. After all, they were her elders, and she was not the kind of person who looked down on others by relying on her status.
Since both parties are willing to make friends, of course it is easy and pleasant to get along with each other.
A room full of people were chatting about all sorts of things, just waiting to open the ancestral hall and divide the family.
