"Brother, don't go too far!" Zhou Wenfu hurried out to protect his daughter, but Sun looked as if it was none of her business.
Lady Liu, the wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en, quickly chimed in: "Boss, Qian'er is your niece, how can you speak so viciously?"
Zhou Wencan looked at his furious third brother and mother, and said mocking words without hesitation: "Oh, you are really great. My Yue'er hasn't woken up yet, and Qian'er dared to say that Yue'er wronged her. She is really my good niece!
And isn't Yue'er your granddaughter? How can you speak so viciously about her? "
Marquis Cheng'en looked at the chaos in the room and could only speak to smooth things over: "Boss, if you have something to say, just talk it out nicely. We're all family, why are you being so sarcastic?"
"Family? My son sees that mother and third brother don't consider me as a family. Mother and third brother have wanted the position of Crown Prince for a long time! How about you poison me to pave the way for third brother?"
Zhou Wencan was really angry. Over the years, he had been filial to his parents and friendly to his brothers, but in return, his mother and third brother had no sympathy for their daughter.
"Father, look at my eldest brother, what is he saying? I have never thought of replacing my eldest brother." Zhou Wenfu did not expect his eldest brother to be so tough this time and his words were so merciless.
Seeing her father begging grandfather for help, Zhou Nanqian quickly knelt in the middle and said, "Grandfather, please persuade my uncle. He must have misunderstood that his granddaughter was with my father. We won't pursue the matter of my eldest sister..."
Although Marquis Cheng'en also loved his youngest son, he was not stupid. When he saw the smiling look in his eldest son's eyes, he knew that the farce was caused by the third son.
Although he knew it, he still wanted to smooth things over: "Can'er..."
Marquis Cheng'en did this mainly for his youngest son. As for this illegitimate granddaughter, he didn't care about her at all.
"Father, Zhou Nanqian dared to push Yue'er into the lake from behind, and then refused to repent and even tried to throw dirty water on Yue'er. There's no way I'm going to let it go.
And my third brother dared to detain the palace doctor and refused to see Yue'er, forcing Yue'er to die.
Father, if you were my son, what would you do?
After Zhou Wencan finished speaking, he looked at Marquis Cheng'en with a smile.
Marquis Cheng'en also knew his son well, so he dared to say so because he had evidence.
However, Marquis Cheng'en still planned to give his youngest son a chance. After all, he and his wife doted on him, and they both had responsibilities. "Zhou Wenfu, did you do what your eldest brother said?"
Zhou Wenfu wanted to say no, but seeing the looks from his elder brother and father, he didn't dare to confront them. "I was just worried about Qian'er. I was panicking at the time and didn't think too much about it. Besides, Yue'er has an imperial physician!"
Marquis Cheng'en really wanted to rip open his youngest son's head and see what was inside him: "Asshole, Yue'er is the eldest daughter of our Marquis Cheng'en Mansion, how can she be compared to such a lowly thing."
Zhou Nanqian looked at her grandfather in disbelief. It was the first time she realized how much she felt in his heart. However, she didn't dare to argue with him. She could only look for help at her grandmother, who always loved her.
"Grandma, Qian'er... Qian'er..."
The wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en was about to go forward and pull Zhou Nanqian into his arms to comfort her, but the Marquis of Cheng'en held her hand and said, "Don't worry about her."
"Oh, you shed tears well, don't you? But your heart is a little dirty." Looking at her niece's pretentious appearance, Jin felt that she was about to vomit the overnight meal she had eaten out of disgust.
"Aunt, it really wasn't me..." Zhou Nanqian had no choice but to kowtow.
Everyone present felt a little reluctant, except for Marquis Cheng'en and his son.
"Oh, you and Yue'er weren't the only ones there at the time. The Second Prince was also there. I've already gone to the palace and asked the Second Prince in front of the Empress. He said he saw with his own eyes that it was you who pushed Yue'er.
If you don't admit it, we will take you to the palace and confront you face to face."
When Zhou Wencan said this, he was still smiling, as if he was talking about what to eat tonight.
But they all knew that Zhou Wencan's move was ruthless. If it was handled in the mansion, it would be an internal matter of the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion. If it entered the palace, the whole of Yuan'an would know that Zhou Wenfu had raised such a vicious daughter who even dared to harm her elder sister.
Whoever dares to associate with Zhou Wenfu in the future will not be afraid of being harmed.
Although Zhou Wenfu loved his daughter, he was no fool. He had originally thought that Zhou Qiongyue had really pushed his daughter down. He was already angry about his elder brother being so popular over the years, and given this opportunity, he definitely wanted to get an explanation.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhou Nanqian dared to lie to him and even attack Zhou Qiongyue. Even though he loved this illegitimate daughter, he knew that Zhou Qiongyue's status was completely different from hers.
Things had come to this, so he could only glare at his daughter with hatred and apologize to his eldest brother and sister-in-law, "Brother, I'm wrong in this matter. How about this, I'll give my niece a hot spring villa under my name for her to recuperate, and this matter will be over."
Zhou Wenfu had a good idea. Apart from detaining the court doctor, the rest of the incident was not a big deal. As for today's incident, it was only natural for a father to make a scene when he knew his daughter was being bullied.
The wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en also knew that since the Second Prince was willing to speak out, there was no room for maneuver on this matter. She quickly tried to smooth things over for her youngest son: "Yes, your brother also loves his daughter dearly. Can'er, don't bother with your brother.
Qian'er was also confused for a moment. She is still young. As her uncle, please let her go this time! When Yue'er wakes up, I will let Qian'er go to Yue'er's bedside and kowtow to confess her guilt.
When Jin heard his mother say this, she was furious and wanted to stand up and argue with her mother. Zhou Wencan held his wife's hand tightly and looked at his father with a half-smile.
Marquis Cheng'en was really angry at this moment. He hadn't expected the third brother to be so confused. "Someone, come and ask for the family rules."
Aside from Zhou Wencan and Jin, who showed no reaction, everyone else shuddered. The family discipline of the Cheng'en Marquisate was no joke; it was excruciatingly painful. A hooked whip soaked in salt water—no one wanted to experience that.
Zhou Wenfu's eyes widened in disbelief. His father was actually going to use family discipline on his granddaughter. This was a bit too cruel! He was still struggling with whether to plead for his daughter. She was a delicate girl, and she couldn't be left with a scar.
Zhou Wenfu didn't realize at this time that he was in great danger.
When Marquis Cheng'en said he would use the family law, Zhou Nanqian was so frightened that she fainted. However, everyone at the scene was focused on the father and daughter, waiting to see what Marquis Cheng'en would do next.
Seeing that the Marquis was completely angry, Lady Liu of Cheng'en Marquis dared not say anything.
