Marquis Cheng'en looked at his granddaughter's determined eyes and nodded with satisfaction, "Just do as Miss Yue said. You are not allowed to cause trouble again, understand?"
Marquis Cheng'en focused his attention on the people from the first wife's house. He was mainly afraid that they would be so angry that they would go looking for trouble with the third prince.
As for Prince Fu'an who was standing next to Zhou Qiongyue, he had no control over this person, so Marquis Cheng'en didn't even look at him.
Although Zhou Wencan felt sorry for his daughter's reputation and injuries, the title of a princess was indeed enough. If anything, the Cheng'en Marquisate had the upper hand. He really couldn't find fault with the Third Prince anymore.
"Don't worry, father. I will control them." Zhou Wencan promised with a smile.
Marquis Cheng'en saw that the matter had been discussed, his granddaughter's injuries were not serious, and his son had promised not to cause trouble, so he thought there was nothing to worry about. "Since that's the case, let's all go! I'll trouble Your Highness to help me send my granddaughter back to Qiongyue Pavilion."
"No trouble! No trouble!" Yuan Bohua felt that he was extremely happy.
Zhou Wencan, Zhou Zhiyi, and Zhou Zhi all looked at Marquis Cheng'en in bewilderment, their meaning obvious: they were all here! Why did they need the prince to send them off?
Marquis Cheng'en didn't want to pay attention to his son and grandson who were obsessed with his daughter and sister. He just waved at Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua, indicating that they could leave.
Yuan Bohua didn't care about Marquis Cheng'en's casual action. After all, he would have to call him grandfather in the future, and his family was definitely not the place to discuss titles easily.
Anyway, he was happy as long as he could send Miss Zhou back.
So Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua went out side by side under the watchful gazes of Zhou Wencan and the other two.
When Marquis Cheng'en saw the prince and his granddaughter leave, he became even more impatient with the remaining people, "You guys go down too!"
Seeing Marquis Cheng'en's impatient expression, everyone could only take their leave.
When Liu saw that everyone had left, she complained angrily, "Why did the Marquis stop me? How dare Yue-chan fight with a man? How will the people of Yuan'an view the women of the Marquis' Mansion from now on?"
Marquis Cheng'en pressed his forehead in annoyance and said impatiently, "Shut up!"
"You yelled at me!" Liu's tears came as soon as she said that.
"Madam, you and I are both elders now, and protecting others is the most basic duty of an elder.
Not to mention that Yue Yatou will be the princess in the future and will bring huge benefits to the Marquis' Mansion.
You must protect Yue girl first when you are outside. Besides, the emperor has granted her the title of Princess and Shuxian. Who dares to criticize the upbringing of the Marquis in person? "
Marquis Cheng'en was eager to crush all these truths and force them into his wife's head. He couldn't figure out what was wrong that made his wife increasingly stubborn. She had completely lost the wisdom and loveliness of her youth.
Liu was lectured and of course she was unhappy. "I just said a few words, and the Marquis has a lot of big lectures waiting for me."
Marquis Cheng'en didn't have any desire to coax anyone at this moment. He waved his hand towards Liu and said, "Alright, go back too! Just remember what I said."
After Marquis Cheng'en finished speaking, he saw that his wife did not speak, so he could only emphasize his tone and repeat, "Did you hear it?"
Liu pursed her lips in displeasure. "I heard you. Why are you being so fierce? I was just complaining to you."
After complaining, Liu didn't wait for Marquis Cheng'en's response, but just took Xiangling's hand and left.
Liu was fed up with her current life. The Marquis lectured her constantly, and of her three sons, two were disobedient, and now she couldn't even say a word to the younger one. Life was getting increasingly frustrating.
As for how the nobles of Yuan'an viewed Marquis Cheng'en, it was nothing but jealousy. Initially, they had heard that the young lady of Marquis Cheng'en's mansion had fought with the Third Prince.
They were all waiting to watch the fun with gloating eyes, thinking that the young lady of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion was finished, and maybe she would not even be the principal wife of Prince Fu'an.
Everyone began to think excitedly about their daughters of the right age, waiting for Zhou Qiongyue to give up the position of Princess Consort.
The result was something no one could have imagined. Not only did she not lose her position as princess, she was even given the title of "Junior Princess" and the title "Shuxian". Everyone was furious!
However, everyone still warned the young ladies at home not to provoke Princess Shuxian unless necessary. When she was just a young lady from the Marquis's Mansion, she dared to hit the prince, and now she is a princess.
If they pissed her off, they would probably get beaten up but it would be in vain. The emperor probably wouldn't stand for them.
Although Zhou Qiongyue did not have a very good reputation among the nobles in Yuanjing, the Third Prince was no better. Families with daughters all taught them to stay away from the Third Prince.
They don't have an aunt who is the queen, so it would be a waste of time to get beaten, and it would only ruin their reputation.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't know at this time that her reputation among the many noble ministers of Yuan'an was now associated with words like tigress and uneducated.
But Zhou Qiongyue wasn't someone who cared much about reputation. When the drought hit in two years, who would care about reputation? In the face of life and death, everything else was trivial.
At this time, Yuan Bohua and Zhou Qiongyue were walking side by side on the way back to Qiongyue Pavilion. The people serving them tacitly did not follow them too closely.
Zhou Qiongyue saw that Yuan Bohua just followed her without saying anything, and she was not sure what he was thinking.
She wasn't one to try to guess what others were thinking; she preferred to simply ask, "What is the prince thinking?"
“我在想怎么样偷偷揍三皇子一顿。”袁博桦看着心上人的脸，挺心疼的。他怀疑月儿身上还有伤，只是月儿不想他们担心。
To say that Zhou Qiongyue was unhappy after hearing this would be a lie. Who wouldn't want their future husband to stand by them and support them?
But she was still rational. In this era where the emperor wanted his subjects to die, the royal family was not to be messed with. "I'm very happy, but forget it."
Yuan Bohua knew Yue'er was afraid of getting him into trouble, and while he was happy, he couldn't help but think Zhou Qiongyue was a fool. If it were another woman, if someone promised her revenge, she would probably rush into the palace and beat the Third Prince up immediately.
Only this silly girl would consider the situation of others first. Thinking of this, Yuan Bohua felt distressed, "Don't worry, I know my limits."
Seeing that Yuan Bohua insisted, Zhou Qiongyue didn't say anything to spoil the fun.
Then the two of them were silent for a while, and suddenly Zhou Qiongyue heard Yuan Bo say, "Does it hurt?"
"Ah?" Zhou Qiongyue was quite surprised that he would ask that.
Yuan Bohua didn't want Zhou Qiongyue to answer, and said to himself, "It must be very painful!"
Zhou Qiongyue had wanted to smile at Yuan Bohua and casually say, "I'm not in pain." But after trying, her smile was a little stiff due to the pain, so she finally gave up and nodded.
