In the end, her mother and Yu Xiuming laughed out loud, not trying to hide their happiness at all, and ended the topic. They were afraid that their daughter/Xiao Yu would get angry and embarrassed, which would be bad, so they better behaved themselves, otherwise the child would not be polite to them.
People far away in Jinling naturally also received Mo Ruru's reply. When Zhou Qingyun saw the news that Wang Shiyu was about to get engaged, he felt a little disappointed and even had some violent thoughts, but he quickly suppressed them because he knew that this was unreasonable and the other party didn't even pay attention to his thoughts.
After all, he is not a heartless person. After more than a year of companionship and getting along, his heart naturally fell there, in that small courtyard. It's just that they were both young at that time, and he didn't have any thoughts in this regard. As he grew older, he naturally realized his dirty thoughts, and he naturally wouldn't disturb them. But in the end, he still felt a little regretful that it didn't go as he wished. Even thinking about this matter, he always felt a little heartbroken. After all, it didn't go as he wished.
If he had argued against the emperor's marriage, he could have succeeded, but he had no power and could not protect the girl at all. He even knew Wang Shiyu's personality very well. If he got close to another girl, Wang Shiyu, with her cold personality, would probably turn around and leave. He just couldn't do it.
But since he has power, he is no longer qualified to have her. This is an unsolvable problem after all, so Zhou Qingyun knows what he wants. If he cannot have both, then he will choose the power in his hands. After all, power is the only thing he can grasp now, so he must first grasp what he can grasp.
In the end, he went to the warehouse and selected some things for Wang Shiyu's coming-of-age ceremony, as well as gifts to celebrate her engagement. However, because he was busy, he had to have them delivered. Zhou Qingyun even secretly added a personal item to the makeup list. In order to avoid suspicion, he even removed the old silk thread and replaced it with a brand new one.
He had just finished picking out the things and preparing them, and he was really walking on thin ice. He arranged for someone to send them to Jizhou City directly, but something happened at home again. In the Rui Palace, Zhang Qianqian was beating her daughter with a small bamboo stick for some unknown reason. When someone came to report, the child was said to have been beaten to the point of losing her life. The people below saw that things were not going well, so they quickly arranged for someone to go to the palace to tell Zhou Qingyun. After all, their prince was just blind.
By the time Zhou Qingyun got the news, the child had been beaten to the point of being on his last breath. Even Zhou Qingyun was a little frightened when he found out, after all, he had never really seen Zhang Qianqian lose her mind.
The little girl didn't have a real name, her nickname was Jia Jia. When she saw Zhou Qingyun coming with people, Zhang Qianqian was obviously stunned for a moment, and the bamboo pole in her hand shook. She couldn't help but think of what Zhou Qingyun said that day. The little girl lying on the ground unconscious, her eyes blurred with tears because of crying too much, was looking at her. The brother who had never gotten along with her was walking towards her angrily, but Zhang Qianqian didn't think she had done anything wrong, and even hurriedly apologized to her son for interrupting her to teach her daughter a lesson.
"Hey, who is this? Isn't this the proud eldest son of the Rui Palace? How come he's here today?"
Zhou Qingyun looked at the little girl lying on the ground, who was breathing in less than breathing out, and felt somewhat helpless. She really couldn't imagine that this child actually lived such a life. She even refused to stop after being beaten like this. If she hadn't seen her coming, this woman would probably continue beating her.
He signaled the people beside him to pick up the child and planned to take him directly to the palace to see the imperial physician. He looked at Zhang Qianqian, who showed no remorse at all, with a cold look, and the coldness in his eyes could even freeze Zhang Qianqian to death.
She turned around indifferently and left. At this time, Zhang Qianqian knew that she had hit the child too hard, so she did not stop Zhou Qingyun from taking the child away. She thought that it would be the same as before. Every time after she hit the child, King Rui would take the child away for treatment and then send him back.
Zhou Qingyun did not follow them back to the palace directly, but came to Prince Rui's study. He felt that even if the girl was in a hurry, she would not waste this little time.
Prince Rui already knew that Zhang Qianqian was beating the child, but he believed that his concubine would definitely not really beat the child to death. She would only hit the child a few times. What could it matter to the child?
So Prince Rui didn't care about this matter at all. When Zhou Qingyun came over, he realized that something was wrong. He couldn't accept the fact that Zhou Qingyun was allowed to leave the palace and return to the palace with such a cold expression.
These days, Zhang Qianqian's attitude towards him has completely changed. She no longer beats or scolds him when they meet, but these past two days she has started to speak to him gently and considerately. So he always thought that Zhang Qianqian is no longer the same person she used to be, and has slowly begun to change.
Zhou Qingyun looked at his father and didn't say much. He just explained that he would take Jia Jia to live in the palace. As for his concubine, he would deal with her himself and Jia Jia would not be sent back.
"Father, I'll take Jiajia to the palace to raise her. If she continues to stay in Prince Rui's mansion, I don't think she'll see the sun tomorrow. Since Father doesn't care about this child, I think he won't say anything if I take her away. Farewell!"
