Phi-Fic Chapter 179: Wanyuan
Chapter 179: Wanyuan
Zhou Huanjiu moved to Wanyuan with his mother.
It is worthy of being a royal estate. Even if it is not the best one, it is rare and elegant.
This place has been uninhabited for a long time, but it is not desolate.
The servants who stayed there cleaned and tidied the place all the time, waiting for the master to come suddenly one day when he felt like it.
This is a strange place and I need to adapt to everything.
Before leaving, Haoyue gave instructions to the manager who stayed behind in Wanyuan in the name of the princess.
"This used to be the imperial manor, but now it has been given to the county lord."
"If someone thinks that he is half a member of the palace and thinks highly of himself and refuses to obey the orders of the county lord, our princess will not sit idly by."
The manager is busy.
Seeing that everything was fine here, Haoyue took his leave from Zhou Huanjiu and went back to tell gossip to the princess. No, it was to report it.
The mother and daughter packed up their things and set up home.
A few days later, Zhou Yu came following the smell.
After entering the reception hall, he strode straight towards Zhou Huanjiu.
Even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were filled with kindness, like a father who truly loves his daughter.
He walked so fast that Zhou Huanzhi behind him had to jog to keep up.
"Wine!"
"As a father, I know that my Jiu'er is the most promising child."
He was delighted and honored.
"You are so favored by the Queen Mother. Look at Zhuangzi. It's really a great favor from the Queen Mother."
"Now when a father walks out, his face will be full of light."
Seeing his beaming look, Zhou Huanjiu was extremely confused. How could there be someone in this world with a thicker skin than Chu Chu?
Why could he act as if they used to be a loving father and a filial daughter?
If we say that he hired someone to kidnap her, it was a distant and vague memory from his childhood.
But Zhou Huanjiu remembered very clearly what his expression was when her mother brought her back to Zhou's home a few days ago.
Zhou Yu had already found a carved chair and sat down.
He then pointed to a chair and said generously, "Come on, Zhizhi, don't stand, sit down too."
Just like my own home.
Even Zhou Huanzhi was more shameless than him. It was only after taking a look at Zhou Huanjiu's face that he hesitated and was pulled to sit down by Zhou Yu.
He leaned back in his chair, with his arms wide open, as if embracing the might of the mountains and rivers.
"Jiu'er, look at this, such a nice farm."
"Wanyuan is such a big place, but only you and your mother live there. Isn't that a waste?"
"I am your biological father after all. I gave birth to you and raised you. Now that you have made it, you should be filial to your father, right?"
"Aye, go back today and pack up your things and move in, so that we can enjoy the happiness of family life."
This was too disgusting. Zhou Huanjiu finally couldn't hold it anymore. He frowned and said with disdain: "Who wants to enjoy family happiness with you?"
As a result, Zhou Yu's expression of enjoying the future froze on his face.
He tried to save face: "Jiu'er, don't joke with Aye, what child doesn't miss his father..."
Zhou Huanjiu tried to endure it.
Because her elder aunt taught her etiquette that she should not interrupt others when they are speaking.
But she failed to hold back, and didn't want to care about etiquette at all, so she interrupted him directly: "I don't want to see you at all."
"I feel sick to have a father like you."
"This is where my mother and I live, don't come here."
Zhou Yu couldn't hold back his expression anymore, and said angrily: "Rebellious girl, you are unfilial and unfraternal!"
"A son doesn't think his mother is ugly, how dare you say I'm disgusting?"
"Besides, how can children instigate their parents to separate?"
"How can it be that children do not support their fathers?"
"If you dare to drive your father away today, you will be stabbed in the back for the rest of your life!"
If it were in the past, Zhou Huanjiu would have been frightened by this sentence.
Reputation is so important.
However, what Chuchu said to her the last time she returned to the palace made a lot of sense.
To her, fame is the least valuable thing and will only become a tool to restrain her.
She just needs to do what she wants and not worry about her reputation.
Those gossipers couldn't do anything to her.
Zhou Huanjiu sneered disdainfully and asked, "Backbone? Who dares to poke my spine?"
She imitated the way the empress dowager usually sat when she admonished people, not sitting too straight, but leaning slightly to the right, with her right hand resting on the armrest.
Although he didn't understand the meaning, Zhou Huanjiu tried his best to imitate it.
In the eyes of others, her lazy and casual attitude made it seem as if the person in front of her was not worthy of her attention at all.
"I am a noble lady raised by the Queen Mother in Renshou Palace, and was personally conferred a title of Princess by His Majesty."
"She is Princess Tianwu's best friend."
"Who dares to touch my spine? Who dares to point out my shortcomings to my face?"
"I can't hear what they say behind their backs."
"No matter what people say behind my back."
"In front of me, they have to be friendly and even greet me and wish me good health and longevity."
Zhou Yu stammered, "You, you you..."
But after all you have been doing this for a long time you still haven't made any progress.
After a long stalemate, Zhou Huanjiu thought about what happened a few days ago and suddenly smiled.
"You can come in if you want."
"But...Aye has to follow the rules too."
"Besides me, my mother is the owner of Wanyuan."
"Even if you come here, you have to listen to her and not go beyond her, understand?"
Zhou Huanjiu leaned over and asked the servants: "Do you understand?"
The servants answered in unison: "Yes."
What a shame!
Zhou Yu was so angry that he said, "Evil creature!"
"I am your father!"
"A father is the leader of his son, and a husband is the leader of his wife. Have you read all the books you read?"
"How dare you let this woman get on top of me?"
"Won't I be constrained by her everywhere?"
"There is no such rule in the world!"
Zhou Huanjiu glanced at Zhou Huanzhi, who was always beside him.
"You can let a little servant put his head on me, and you still have the nerve to talk about rules?"
Zhou Huanjiu ignored his jumping up and down and leaned over to ask his mother: "Mother, Jiuer will listen to you. I don't care."
"But if you don't want to see him, Jiu'er will kick him out!"
As he spoke, Zhou Huanjiu blinked where they couldn't see.
Mrs. Zhou got the message and said uncertainly, "It's okay, let him in?"
Seeing that her daughter did not object, she calmed down and continued to act: "Even if Jiu'er doesn't care about reputation, this kind of thing, good is always better than bad."
"It doesn't matter to me, Mom. As long as Jiujiu is on Mom's side, he can't do anything to me."
But Zhou Yu simply couldn't accept that he was inferior to his wife.
"Too deceiving!"
But when he did this, he didn't think he was wrong.
