At the same time, Young Lady Zhou had returned home.
She immediately went to her grandmother’s courtyard and told her about the encounter with Yu Xian.
“This girl from the Yu family doesn’t follow the rules at all. When she came to the capital city, she didn’t pay her respects to her elders. Instead, she climbed up the ladder
first. Those who don’t know would think that my Zhou family bullied her.” The old lady snorted. “Ask around and find out what kind of relationship Yu Xian has with the
eldest daughter of the Xie family. Then, go to the Wen Residence and send some gifts. That Madam Wen should know some intel.
“When that child Weizong comes back, ask him to come and see me.” The old lady added.
Zhou Weizong still did not know anything about his cousin at the moment.
He was following the Crown Prince’s side and paying respect to Old Master Li.
At night, a servant from the Zhou Residence came to inform him. Only then did he get someone else to replace him and return home.
However, when he reached home, he did not even have a sip of hot tea before he was called to the old lady and was being lectured.
“I told you before that the Yu family’s cousin from Dong’an has come to the capital. If any of you see her, you must let me know...” the old lady was emotional. “Weizong,
have you seen your cousin sister?”
“No.” Zhou Weizong’s expression remained the same.
He had never seen his cousin sister.
What he saw was his “cousin brother” .
The old lady slammed the table. “You’re still lying to me! Your cousin only has two relatives, you and your mother. Why didn’t she come all the way here to look for you
first?! If she didn’t look for you, how did she get involved with the eldest daughter of the Xie family?!”
The old lady was very clear about this.
The third grandson was with the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince’s future wife was the Xia family’s eldest daughter. She was also involved with Yu Xian. Did this
relationship need to be explained?
It must be that her third grandson asked the Crown Prince to help and arranged for the Xia family’s eldest daughter to take care of her, right?!
When Zhou Weizong heard that, he knew that he could not hide it anymore, so he said calmly, “Grandmother has indeed wronged me. The Xie family got to know my cousin
first. I initially wanted to bring her back to the residence, but unfortunately, my cousin is Young Lady Xie’s guest. I can’t make the decision for her.”
“What can’t you do?! That’s your biological cousin. Even if Young Lady Xie is the future Princess Consort, can she stop the cousins from meeting?” The old lady snorted.
“It’s true that she can’t, but Young Lady Xie loves to chat with her. The Xie family also extended a helping hand to my cousin when she was down and out. It’s only right for
my cousin to stay and repay their kindness.” Zhou Weizong remained expressionless.
He looked like no one could do anything to him.
The old lady was so angry that she glared at him.
The first madam beside him also appeared calm, as if she had not heard anything.
The mother and son’s attitude was getting more and more annoying, so she sent them away.
After leaving the grandmother’s courtyard at the back, Zhou Weizong said to his mother, “Cousin is doing well.”
“That’s good. It’s better than coming to this residence and not being able to see the light of day.” The first madam’s tone was indifferent. “Help her a little more. Your cousin
has her own opinions. Let her do whatever she wants. Her parents are gone, and I, her aunt, don’t care. Others don’t have the right either.”
Dong’an... They were not afraid of being punished.
Back then, even though she knew that the position of the Zhou family’s first madam was not easy, she still sent her all the way here. All these years, when she became a wife,
other than her son being sensible, she did not have a single thing going her way.
It was fine that she was here, but now, they would not let go of the young one.
“Mother, bear with it. When your son is successful in the future, I’ll get you divorced. I won’t stay idle anymore.” Zhou Weizong also knew his mother’s thoughts.
His biological father was much older than his mother. He was stubborn and had never shown any warmth to her. He only asked her to take care of the house every day. His
mother had been living the same life as the steward in the courtyard all these years..
