Zhou Wenjun's wife, Zhao, found her niece's attempt to blame someone else amusing. However, she didn't dare laugh in front of Liu. She didn't want her mother-in-law to notice her, so she could only bow her head and pretend that the tea at Youxinyuan was delicious.
Seeing her mother-in-law like this, Jin was still a little worried. Just when Jin was about to say something to comfort her, Cheng Enhou came with his men.
Marquis Cheng'en looked at the women in the room with a bad expression and said in a deep voice, "What are you guys doing?"
Marquis Cheng'en's expression could scare several of his daughters-in-law and Liu, but Zhou Qiongyue was not afraid of him.
Zhou Qiongyue pointed at Sun and said sternly, "Grandfather, Third Aunt is trying to take over the farm that my granddaughter just bought. She almost made Grandmother faint with anger."
When Zhou Qiongyue said this, Liu Shi fainted. Before she fainted, she was still wondering how this damned girl Zhou Qiongyue dared to confuse right and wrong.
Fortunately, Marquis Cheng'en was quick to embrace his unconscious wife and quickly ordered someone to call the imperial physician.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't want to verify whether Liu was really fainting or just pretending. Anyway, the blame couldn't be put on her and her mother. She quickly shouted, "Oh my God! Grandfather, Grandma really fainted because of Aunt Three."
When Sun heard this, she felt like fainting. She was extremely regretful at this moment, wondering why she had provoked this crazy girl.
Marquis Cheng'en gently placed the unconscious lady on the soft couch beside him. Looking at his granddaughter, who was fearless and only wanted to cause chaos in the world, he could only sternly scold her, "Shut up."
Seeing this, Sun thought it was her chance and quickly tried to add insult to injury, "Father..."
"Sun, go kneel in the yard." Marquis Cheng'en wasn't stupid; he could guess what had happened based on the information. If it weren't for the instigation of the third brother and his wife, there was no way Liu, whom he had already mentioned, would have bothered Yue Yatou.
Marquis Cheng'en thought for a moment, then instructed the servant beside him, "Go and see what the Third Master is doing, and have him kneel in the yard as well."
Looking at the two anxious daughters-in-law beside him, he didn't want to guess whether their worries were genuine or not. He didn't want to see them at this moment. "The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law should go to the next room and wait!"
Seeing that her grandfather had no intention of letting her leave, Zhou Qiongyue sat back in her previous seat. She was really not that worried.
Marquis Cheng'en was worried about his wife and didn't want to pay any attention to this lawless granddaughter for a while. According to his speculation, the woman must have fainted because of his anger.
Fortunately, the imperial physician didn't arrive so quickly, and the court physician arrived first. After examining him, he said it was just a case of extreme anger, nothing serious, and that he should drink some medicine and wake up soon.
Marquis Cheng'en finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although his wife had many faults, he could not say anything bad about her.
After the palace doctor left, Marquis Cheng'en said to Zhou Qiongyue seriously, "Girl Yue, do you know your mistake?"
Zhou Qiongyue immediately held onto the handle of the chair next to her when she heard this. "Grandfather, what did you say? Why can't I hear you? I'm dizzy too. Grandfather, Grandfather, I'm going to faint from Aunt Third's anger."
Marquis Cheng'en looked at his granddaughter like this, and only one word came to his mind: "Asshole." But this was the only woman they had available for Lianyan in the Marquis Cheng'en Mansion, and they didn't even have a backup.
Marquis Cheng'en would never give up his granddaughter unless it was absolutely necessary.
Marquis Cheng'en looked at his granddaughter who was becoming more and more excited. He could only rub his brows and said helplessly: "Okay, stop pretending. I don't mean to settle the score."
Zhou Qiongyue didn't even stand up when she heard this, but just supported her head with her hands. It seemed as if she would faint if the Marquis of Cheng'en said anything wrong.
She didn't care what her grandfather was thinking and replied to herself, "If there is any fault, it is grandpa's fault! What did your granddaughter say to your granddaughter, and what did your granddaughter promise? You won't lose your memory, will you?
Otherwise, I, your granddaughter, will go to the palace to talk to your aunt. Grandfather is old and can’t help with the court, let alone setting up a farm.”
Marquis Cheng'en was angry, and she was still angry! She was not a soft persimmon that anyone could pinch.
Zhou Qiongyue felt that if someone in Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion could be unreasonable, then so could she.
Upon hearing this, Marquis Cheng'en knew he was in the wrong. He rubbed his nose awkwardly and tried to make amends for his wife, saying, "Your grandmother is just easily influenced. Don't bother with her."
"I think it's not that Grandma is soft-hearted, but that she's biased. You'd better try to persuade Grandma if she keeps causing trouble for our eldest wife because of Uncle San and his family.
I, your granddaughter, will find trouble with your third aunt and uncle. From now on, their reputation in Yuan'an will not be your concern."
Liu's constant trouble-making really annoyed Zhou Qiongyue. She was also capable of being so careless and unreasonable.
"We are all family, we shouldn't..."
Marquis Cheng'en really thought it wasn't a big deal. It was normal for a family to have arguments and disagreements. If there was anything, the family could just talk it out.
Although Zhou Qiongyue didn't understand officialdom, she understood interests. Anyway, no one else was allowed to get their hands on the interests of their eldest wife's family.
“Grandfather, now our eldest house doesn’t have the right to be a steward. Apart from my father who has the position of a crown prince, there is nothing special about him.
If Third Uncle and Third Aunt still aren't satisfied, I'll assume it's you, Grandfather, who wants to change the heir. Then I'll persuade Father to make plans early.
We, the eldest family, are not to be bullied, and certainly not to be anyone's stepping stone."
"Bastard!" Marquis Cheng'en was furious. Now even a granddaughter dared to threaten him.
Seeing her grandfather so angry, Zhou Qiongyue was not afraid. Instead, she smiled and said, "Grandfather, don't be angry. I know why I can be so arrogant.
Alas, my parents only gave birth to a daughter! They didn't even have a concubine's daughter. My second and third uncles didn't give me a sister either. The burden of the marriage alliance in this mansion will fall solely on my granddaughter.
My granddaughter has a heavy burden on her shoulders, so she will always be a little crazy. Please be tolerant and patient!
You can tolerate your uncle and aunt, so you can tolerate your granddaughter, right?"
Cheng Enhou felt that he was even angrier. What should he do? He really wanted to beat up this granddaughter, but he could only remind himself that this was a granddaughter, not a grandson. He couldn't beat her, he couldn't beat her...
Although he really wanted to beat Zhou Qiongyue, he also saw that his granddaughter was smart and had a promising future, so it was even more impossible for him to give up.
Marquis Cheng'en took a deep breath and explained, "I really don't have any intention of changing the Crown Prince, so please don't make things complicated."
Zhou Qiongyue not only had "I'm not a fool" written on her face, but also questioned it, "Who would believe it? Grandma almost has this thought written on her face. You can only deceive my foolishly filial father with these words, deceive me..."
"Zhou Qiongyue..." Marquis Cheng'en sternly stopped his granddaughter from saying anything.
When Zhou Qiongyue heard this, her smile became even brighter, as if to say, "See, you're getting angry out of shame."
