Chapter 74 Zhou Qiongyue in the Rain



It was raining so hard outside that the men couldn't ride horses. Otherwise, they would definitely get sick tomorrow. If they got sick at this time, it would be difficult to call a doctor, which would be quite troublesome.

As for why it is not appropriate to call the imperial physician, of course it is because I just watched the moon with the emperor tonight, and I get sick tomorrow. Wouldn’t that be a slap in the emperor’s face?

Now that the charcoal brazier was there, Zhou Qiongyue's face finally brightened a little. She didn't lift the carriage curtain to express her gratitude, but simply gave the servant who delivered the gift a generous reward.

Yuan Bohua sent someone to deliver the charcoal brazier and then ordered the carriage to leave. The main reason was that because of his status, he was standing there and really blocked the way for many people.

He got these charcoal braziers by giving a large amount of silver to a eunuch he knew well in the palace. He did not keep any of them and gave them all to his sweetheart.

Yuan Bohua was mainly worried about being missing one person, and if his sweetheart happened to be missing, he would be so upset that he would die.

Zhou Qiongyue warmed herself by the warm charcoal pot, and the smile on her face became even brighter. To tell whether a person cares about you, don't look at what he says, but what he does.

At present, Zhou Qiongyue is quite satisfied with what Yuan Bohua has done.

Jin teased her daughter, who was laughing brightly, "Okay, stop laughing."

Zhou Qiongyue was not the original owner, so she was not afraid of her mother's teasing! Instead, she looked at her mother with great interest, "Does mother think the prince is not good?"

Jin Shi didn't discourage her daughter. In the past, she would have been quite worried. But after seeing her daughter's heartbreak at the hands of the Second Prince, Jin Shi quickly adjusted herself. Her daughter was someone who could handle things easily, so she stopped worrying.

Instead, Jin encouraged her daughter to take that step bravely. "It seems to be quite good at the moment. If you have something good, give some to the prince."

"I don't lack the princes I have!" Zhou Qiongyue argued truthfully.

Jin was so angry that she slapped Zhou Qiongyue on the back of the head. "What belongs to the prince is his. How can it be the same as what you gave me?"

Jin was almost crying because of her stupid daughter.

Zhou Qiongyue was too angry to speak out, she could only smile foolishly, touch the back of her head and said coquettishly, "I will listen to my mother."

Looking at her daughter's grinning face, Jin could only shake her head lovingly. She had no way to deal with this daughter who was acting so coquettishly and cutely.

Afterwards, Zhou Qiongyue and Jin sat over a charcoal pot, chatting about Yuan An's gossip. Although it was raining heavily outside the carriage, the atmosphere inside was extremely warm.

When they arrived at the mansion of Marquis Cheng'en, Marquis Cheng'en directly ordered the main gate to be opened wide and the carriage to enter the mansion directly through the main gate, as close to the backyard as possible.

Marquis Cheng'en was mainly worried about his wife and granddaughter being sick, and it was not his responsibility to worry about other people.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Zhou Wencan jumped out immediately. He went directly to the carriage of Marquis Cheng'en and his wife, and personally helped his father and mother out.

Then he turned and went to the carriage where his wife and daughter were.

Liu looked at her son's back as he left, her lips pursed in displeasure. But since Marquis Cheng'en was there, Liu didn't say anything in the end.

When Marquis Cheng'en saw that his wife looked unhappy, he knew that she was looking for trouble again.

He could only quickly say, "Let's go! I'm cold, let's go back to Yuxinyuan and change clothes."

When Liu heard what the Marquis said, she no longer cared about finding fault with her son and daughter-in-law, and quickly helped Marquis Cheng'en away.

When Zhou Wencan arrived at the carriage where his daughter and wife were, he saw his two sons helping his wife and daughter out respectively.

Seeing his daughter's hair was undone, Zhou Wencan quickly ordered, "Yi'er, Quan'er, you two take Yue'er back to Qiongyue Pavilion. Bring more people with you so that no one can bump into her."

"Yes!" Zhou Zhiyi and his brother quickly responded.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Wencan immediately took Jin away. Although his daughter was important, he was also worried that his wife would catch a cold.

When Zhou Qiongyue saw her parents leave, she said to her two brothers, "Big Brother, Fifth Brother, we're already in the backyard. I can go back by myself. You two should go back and take a hot bath!"

After all, at least her hair was almost dry, while her two brothers' hair was still wet!

Zhou Zhiyi took the straw raincoat from the servant and put it on Zhou Qiongyue without hesitation. He then took the umbrella and offered to hold it for her. "We both promised our father that we would definitely send you to Qiongyue Pavilion. Otherwise, neither of us will feel at ease."

Zhou Qiongyue wouldn't ask her brother to hold an umbrella for her. She knew he would get wet. She simply took the umbrella from Gulan and walked out first.

Zhou Qiongyue accepted the kindness of her two brothers. Since her two brothers insisted on sending it, let them do it!

But Zhou Qiongyue didn't say a word along the way, but walked quickly and seriously. Soon they arrived at the entrance of Qiongyue Pavilion. Zhou Qiongyue stood in the rain and waved to her two brothers who were following closely behind her:

"Big brother, fifth brother, you guys come back soon! I'm here." After Zhou Qiongyue finished speaking, without waiting for the eldest brother and the fifth brother to respond, she took Gulan and the others in. She left in an extremely cool manner, without even looking back.

At the courtyard gate, Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhiquan smiled at each other in the rain. Zhou Zhiyi spoke first, "Let's go! Don't let my sister down."

"Such a good sister of mine was given to that kid Yuan Bohua." Zhou Zhiquan still feels that he has suffered a great loss when he thinks about it.

"Don't talk nonsense, that's Prince Fu'an!" Although Zhou Zhiyi felt the same way in his heart, he couldn't say it! He could only remind his brother to be careful with his words.

Zhou Qiongyue didn't know that her two brothers still didn't want to accept the fact that she was going to get married.

Zhou Qiongyue returned to Qiongyue Pavilion, took a hot bath immediately, and drank some very unpalatable ginger soup.

Gu Yu even made a bowl of medicine for Zhou Qiongyue to prevent colds. Only after seeing Zhou Qiongyue drink it did she fall asleep.

Fortunately, when Zhou Qiongyue woke up the next day, she showed no signs of catching a cold. To be more precise, everyone in the main house was fine.

However, my grandmother Liu had a fever in the middle of the night, and she did not dare to call the imperial physician, so she asked the doctor in the mansion to stay in Youxin Courtyard.

Liu was already old, and she got soaked in the cold last night, so it was expected that she would fall ill.

So early the next morning, Jin and her three daughters-in-law went to take care of the patient.

As Zhou Qiongyue is the only granddaughter in the Hou Mansion, she must go as well.

When this person is sick, he becomes very noisy, like a little child, and refuses to cooperate with anything.

Zhou Qiongyue went to take care of the sick for two days and her whole body was almost peeling off.

She had tried her best to be accommodating to her grandmother these past two days, trying to control her temper and not upset the patient. She also tried her best to endure Liu's harassment.

But for some people, the better you treat them, the more likely they are to think you are afraid of them, and they will only become more demanding.

It was Zhou Qiongyue's turn to take care of the sick that day. As soon as she entered, a teacup flew towards her.

If she hadn't dodged quickly, she would have been killed on the spot.
