Zhou Wenjun's wife, Zhao, nodded obediently after hearing what her husband said. After all, her husband was smarter than her, so she would be right to listen to him.
After Zhou Wencan and Jin said goodbye to the second son and his wife, they went to their daughter's Qiongyue Pavilion without stopping for a moment.
When they arrived, they saw Zhou Qiongyue and Zhou Zhiyi, one listening to a storybook and the other reading a storybook, getting along very well.
As soon as Zhou Zhiquan saw his sister and brother, he ran in like a gust of wind, "Brother, sister, let me tell you two, Dad was so awesome just now..."
Crown Prince Zhou Wencan and Jin smiled at each other. They were very happy to see their three children getting along well with each other.
Zhou Qiongyue and Zhou Zhiyi listened attentively. Zhou Qiongyue saw her father and mother coming in. She called out happily, "Dad, Mom..."
Zhou Zhiyi also prepared to stand up and salute, but Zhou Wencan pushed his son down on his seat and said, "We are all family, please sit down!"
Zhou Wencan ignored his eldest son and sat down beside his daughter's bed. Zhou Zhiyi had no choice but to move his stool to sit a little further to the side, because this man was his father!
Jin looked at her daughter carefully and saw that she was in good spirits, so she went to take care of the things in her daughter's yard. Now that her daughter was sick, she could not let her worry about these trivial matters.
"How are you, Yue'er? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me. I will send someone to ask the imperial physician to take a look." Zhou Wencan was as gentle to his daughter as a gentle breeze and drizzle.
"Don't worry, Daddy, I'm fine. I think I'm fine now." Zhou Qiongyue said as she was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed to prove it.
Zhou Wencan, Zhou Zhiyi, and Zhou Zhiquan at the scene all looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Zhou Wencan was even more quick to hold down the quilt, "Father believes in you, really, really, lie down quickly!"
Zhou Zhiyi was also worried that his sister would catch a cold again if she got up, so he quickly echoed his father's words and advised Zhou Qiongyue: "Sister, Dad is right, you should lie down quickly."
"Yes, yes, just lie down and listen. When you get better, your second brother will take you around Yuan'an and make sure you'll be happy." Zhou Zhiquan had already started to make promises.
However, Zhou Zhiquan was met with angry glares from his father and eldest brother as soon as he said this. He could only chuckle and play dumb. While dealing with his father and eldest brother, Zhou Zhiquan also gave his younger sister a wink, indicating that he would not lose his temper.
Zhou Qiongyue really felt that she was better, but when she saw her father and two brothers were so nervous, she obeyed and lay back down.
She should appreciate the fact that her family members are worried about her.
Afterwards, Zhou Wencan emphasized the issue of compensation to his daughter. As for the process, Zhou Zhiquan had already explained it all.
Zhou Qiongyue was very satisfied that her father and mother could get so much compensation for her, especially since Zhou Nanqian would marry casually and her third uncle got beaten.
In this world, a woman's marriage is like a second life, a life she must live with open eyes. For a woman like Zhou Nanqian, abandoned by her family, marrying casually is rare, and she rarely has a good life.
Moreover, Zhou Qiongyue felt that the half-sister in her memory was not a smart person who could live a peaceful life.
"Thank you, Dad and Mom, as well as my elder and second brothers." Zhou Qiongyue treated everyone very evenly, with absolutely no intention of being partial.
Zhou Wencan watched his daughter's eyes nearly smile as she heard about the farm and the shop. He knew his daughter liked it, and thought to himself that he would have to prepare more farms and shops for her.
There was laughter and joy in Qiongyue Pavilion, but things were different in the Third House. Zhou Wenfu, in particular, had just finished receiving treatment from the imperial physician for his injuries, fainting several times from the pain before finally coming to his senses. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard from his wife, Madam Sun, that news had come from the First House that Zhou Qiongyue had woken up.
What's so unclear about this? He must have woken up a long time ago. Zhou Wenfu almost fainted from anger again, but although he was a little arrogant, he was still very discerning.
"You should find a man from another place soon and marry Qian off." Zhou Wenfu suffered this ordeal. Although he blamed his elder brother and sister-in-law, he blamed his daughter even more.
If she had told him the truth, he wouldn't have caused such a scene. The evidence was in someone else's hands, making him seem cold and mean. In fact, although he had selfish motives, he really loved his only daughter, but she had let him down!
Helping her get married well is his last act of fatherly love.
Sun looked at her husband, who had remained silent after explaining the arrangements for the concubine's daughter. She asked curiously, "You don't blame the eldest wife?"
"What's so strange about this? My eldest brother and his wife didn't do anything wrong. They were just doing it for their daughter. Besides, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. What's there to be entangled about?
Anyway, I am the youngest son, and I will most likely still have to depend on my elder brother and his wife for my life. Actually, this time I just want to make my elder brother and his wife feel guilty."
Zhou Wenfu wasn't as foolish as everyone thought he was, thinking he could really defeat his eldest brother and inherit the title. Although his father only had three sons and one daughter, not to mention his eldest brother's smiling tiger, his two legitimate nephews were no pushovers either.
The second son, Zhou Zhiyu, was also very smart. He was ranked second in the family and was already a scholar. The sixth son, Zhou Zhiman, was also very low-key and looked smart.
On the other hand, Zhou Zhikun, the third child in the family and a concubine's son, was easily influenced. Zhou Zhiwei, the legitimate son, was the eighth child in the family and was still young, so it was hard to tell what he was doing.
He himself wasn't particularly bright, and even if his father was crazy, he wouldn't give him the title. Besides, his father always kept a clear distinction between favor and reason.
"Husband, you..." Sun seemed to have just met Zhou Wenfu for the first time. She had to admit that she felt more at ease with such a husband.
Zhou Wenfu would not explain his behavior. He believed that if a person does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. The crying child will get candy. He just kept his spirits up and told Sun: "Give Yue'er a generous apology. After some time, my brother and sister-in-law will not care about it on the surface.
You should raise our Wei'er well, he will be our support in the future."
When Sun saw her husband like this, she just wiped her tears and said she understood.
Zhou Qiongyue's happiness had just begun for a short while. As soon as the news of her awakening spread, the two illegitimate sons of the eldest wife, Zhou Zhiwen and Zhou Zhiqi, who were ranked fourth, came outside to ask for a meeting.
Zhou Qiongyue was stunned when she heard the news. Although she still had the original owner's memories, after waking up, she saw her father and mother were very close, and she also had two biological brothers. She had never imagined that her father had a bastard son.
For a moment, the way she looked at her father was the way she looked at a scumbag.
