Zhou Qiongyue was also very happy in the carriage on the way back home, smiling all the way. Anyone who saw her could tell that she was in a good mood.
Gulan looked at the young lady who hadn't been so happy for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "Miss, are you so happy?"
Gulan thought, isn't it said that one can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart? My daughter had only just met Miss Duan, and she was already being coaxed by someone?
Zhou Qiongyue was in a good mood at the moment and was willing to explain to Gulan, just as a small talk to pass the time. "It seems that Miss Duan is smart. Smart people are good! Only smart people can secure the position of the Second Prince's wife.
Then Xie Zixin will have to be a concubine forever. When I see Xie Zixin, I won't have to call her cousin. If your young lady marries a capable husband, you won't even have to pay the formalities.
How could I not be happy? Now I can’t wait for that day to come.”
Zhou Qiongyue thought about how Xie Zixin couldn't wait to run to her to declare her sovereignty, but she ended up being a concubine. It was so funny now.
When Gulan heard the young lady say this, she understood, "That's something to be happy about."
Gulan also disliked Miss Xie. She hated anyone her young lady disliked. She thought to herself that her young lady was so nice, and she wondered how bad the character of someone who could make her young lady dislike him must be.
Zhou Qiongyue felt better when she saw Gulan's united hatred for the enemy.
"Don't worry! I won't get involved in their affairs." Zhou Qiongyue added silently in her heart. If they didn't provoke her, she would not bother to care about their fight!
"Whatever the young lady does is right." Gulan was very confident in his young lady.
Zhou Qiongyue reached out and pinched Gulan's face. "How can you be so talkative? I'll treat you to a delicious meal tonight."
Gulan was even happier when she heard this. Who doesn't like delicious food? "Thank you, my lady."
After that, no one in the carriage said anything. Zhou Qiongyue just leaned against the wall of the carriage, waiting for it to arrive at the mansion.
Zhou Qiongyue originally thought that she would be able to rest well once she got to the mansion. After all, she had been out all day and her spirit was extremely tense, so she was indeed quite tired.
What she didn't expect was that as soon as her carriage arrived at the mansion gate, she saw Xiangling waiting at the main gate.
Gulan noticed it immediately and reported it to the young lady, "Miss, Miss Xiangling beside the old lady should be waiting for you."
Zhou Qiongyue frowned upon hearing this, and her good mood for the day instantly vanished. She opened the carriage curtains and turned to Gulan, "Let her come over and answer!"
Not long after Zhou Qiongyue finished giving her instructions, Xiangling arrived at the carriage window. "Your servant Xiangling greets the young lady."
"Miss Xiangling, there's no need to be so polite. Does grandma have any instructions for you?" Zhou Qiongyue's tone was light and not warm.
She has no problem with Xiangling, but she does have a problem with her grandmother!
Xiangling didn't dare to have any opinion about the eldest lady's lack of enthusiasm. When she was angry, she even dared to confront the old lady. She was just a servant and didn't count for much.
Xiangling replied respectfully, "The old lady asks you to go to Youxin Courtyard."
"I understand, let's go!" Zhou Qiongyue was too lazy to ask what the matter was. Anyway, her grandmother would make trouble if she wanted to, and she could make trouble even if there was nothing to do.
Although Zhou Qiongyue appeared calm on the surface, she still sent Gu Yu to the front yard to ask her grandfather for help, fearing that she would not be able to control herself and start a quarrel with her grandmother.
After all, she is the younger generation, and she will definitely be the one who suffers in the end. In this era, filial piety is more important than anything else.
Zhou Qiongyue was unhappy, so she walked slowly. Anyway, he was waiting for her to come back to find fault, so it didn't matter if he walked a little later or a little earlier.
Xiangling was quite anxious, but she didn't dare to rush her! Anyone could see that the eldest lady was unhappy.
When Zhou Qiongyue brought people to Youxin Courtyard, she saw her second aunt, third aunt and mother Jin were all there. She smiled and went forward to greet them one by one.
"Yue'er is back! Are you tired? Come and sit next to grandma." At this time, Liu's face was full of gentleness. Anyone who saw her would praise her as "good elder".
Zhou Qiongyue was suspicious for a moment, but she still thanked him with a smile and sat down next to her grandmother.
As soon as Zhou Qiongyue sat down, she reached out for her favorite snack without hesitation. No matter what these people were going to do, she would never hand them a ladder.
Seeing that her granddaughter didn't even ask what these people were doing here, but was only focused on eating, as if she hadn't had snacks in her entire life, Liu was secretly annoyed and her smile was a little hard to maintain.
This was unfair to Zhou Qiongyue. She had only eaten one piece of dessert, which she had just been holding and eating slowly. The desserts in her grandmother's yard were all too sweet, not her favorite flavor at all. She just didn't want to talk.
Finally, Third Aunt Sun couldn't hold back any longer and asked impatiently, "Yue girl, I heard that you bought a few farms in your name. I'm afraid this is not appropriate!"
Zhou Qiongyue heard this and was surprised. She was wondering what the big fuss was about today. It turned out they were waiting for her here!
She calmly put down the snack, clapped her hands, and said indifferently: "Haha, Third Aunt, you should find a mirror and look at yourself eating!"
In fact, Zhou Qiongyue was still angry. She had clearly greeted her grandfather, but these people still came to her to make trouble. For the first time, she was a little disappointed with her grandfather.
Sun had never thought that Zhou Qiongyue, a little girl, would dare to speak to her like that. After all, she was still the elder, and she was so angry that she almost fainted, "You..."
Lady Liu, the wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en, was also very angry. In her opinion, Zhou Qiongyue was not giving face to the Third Old Family, which meant she was not giving face to her. She immediately stepped forward and scolded:
"Zhou Qiongyue, do you still have any manners? How dare you speak to your elders like that? Look at how well you have raised your daughter, Jin..."
Now that Jin no longer had to deal with household chores and wasn't worried about being harassed, she felt even more confident. Jin's smile was even a little brighter. "Then mother, you've wronged your daughter-in-law. Yue'er grew up with you, the queen, and has nothing to do with your daughter-in-law."
Jin knew her daughter well. Having been spoiled by her father and aunt since she was little, she wasn't a good-tempered person. It was only when she fell in love with the Second Prince that she pretended to be a lady for several years.
No matter how crazy Liu was, she didn't dare to say that there was anything wrong with the queen's upbringing. She could only make her fingers tremble with anger, "You two..."
Seeing her grandmother looking like she was about to faint from anger, Zhou Qiongyue immediately stood up and pointed at Sun, saying righteously, "Third Aunt, look at you, you've made Grandmother so angry. You dared to anger your mother-in-law just to covet a little something from your niece. You are so unfilial!"
