Zhou Qiong's hands were heavy, and even if he restrained his strength, the entire eyebrow that he swept over was still thicker and darker. Although it was not ugly, it was definitely not good-looking.

He thought about it and simply added one on the other side, "Yeah, very heroic."

Yun Ling looked at herself in the bronze mirror: "......"

"Your hand is better suited for holding a sword. It's not suitable for holding an eyebrow pencil."

The two laughed and joked for a while, then went hand in hand to pay their respects to Madam Mo and Xu Xiangxiang.

In the past, the two of them doted on Yunling and wanted to give her all the good things. Now that Yunling has finally become a member of their family, they love her even more.

The family finished their breakfast happily. The two of them each gave Yunling a box, which also came with a basket of keys and account books.

"Ling'er, this is what Xiangxiang and I decided after discussing it. From now on, both of our dowries will be handed over to you. You can spend the money you earn wherever you need it."

Yun Ling immediately declined, "Grandma, mother, this is your dowry, you should take it yourself, how can I, as a daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, get involved in the dowry of my mother-in-law and grandmother."

Madam Mo patted her hands and said, "You know the situation of our family. We will give these things to you after a hundred years. It doesn't matter whether we give them to you sooner or later."

Xu Xiangxiang also pretended to be stern and said, "I gave it to you before, but you always refused. Now we are a family. If you refuse again, I will be angry."

Zhou Qiong also agreed with this, "You manage the Marquis's estate so well, grandma and mother have always praised you, and they have long been eager to dump this mess on you."

Even the housekeeper Zhou at the side chimed in and said, "Madam, you should take over as soon as possible. The Madam and the old lady are eager to let go of this troublesome job!"

"Oh, you guys found out!"

.....

The two were newly married and the marriage was granted by His Majesty, so they should have gone to the palace to pay their respects, but the day for going to the palace was scheduled for tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Yun Ling stayed in the main courtyard to organize her dowry, while Zhou Qiong quietly set out from the back door, first went to the Tang family, and then went to Prince Ding's Mansion.

Xiao Cong was sorting books in the study room. He was surprised to see Zhou Qiong suddenly visit him. "Why are you here at this time?"

Because Zhou Qiong was going to marry Yun Ling, they deliberately postponed the plan for a few days. Zhou Qiong should be at home accompanying his new wife at this time, so why did he suddenly come to his house?

Seeing Zhou Qiong's serious expression, he asked, "Did you have a quarrel with your wife?"

"I say, you should change your temper sometimes and be more polite when talking to others. Your wife is meant to be loved, not to fight with you."

Zhou Qiong rolled her eyes at him. "How could I be angry with the person I've been waiting to marry for so long? Stop making up stories about me. If my father-in-law finds out, I'll be looked down upon."

"Ha, finally there's someone who can cure you!"

Zhou Qiong was too lazy to continue arguing with him, so he placed the wooden box in front of Xiao Cong and said, "Take a look."

"What treasure? Why are you unable to wait and send it to me?"

As he spoke, Xiao Cong opened the wooden box and saw an arrow inside.

When he took a closer look, he immediately realized what it was and his face darkened. "The Liu family sent someone to kill you again?"

Zhou Qiong shook her head and said, "No, it was a wedding gift I received."

He told the story of Lao Qi, but omitted the matter of the bronze lotus.

Since Lao Qi only made one weapon that could secretly kill someone, the chances of making it successfully were low, so he wanted to leave it to Ling'er for her to protect herself.

This "heart-piercing arrow" can be made.

Zhou Qiong took out another piece of paper from the bottom of the box. It was a drawing drawn by Lao Qi.

"I asked Lao Qi about this. The reason why the Liu family has a low chance of success is because Lao Qi's father deliberately concealed the most important step. This drawing is the most complete and detailed. As long as you follow the steps above and have more skilled craftsmanship, you will have an 80 to 90 percent chance of success."

Xiao Cong was so surprised that he couldn't help but stand up and study the blueprint carefully. Finally, he exclaimed with joy: "Qiong'er, it is really lucky for you and me to meet the Tang family."

Zhou Qiong raised his chin slightly, "Of course, Ling'er and I are destined to be together for generations."

Xiao Cong was amused by him, and then he said: "With this heart-piercing arrow, we will have the upper hand in the battle. Since you are newlyweds, why don't I change someone when we go to Sun Chasing Island this time, and you stay in the mansion to accompany your family?"

"Since it's decided, let's not change it. I've already told Ling'er about it, she can understand." Zhou Qiong disagreed.

Xiao Cong patted his shoulder and said, "It's your cousin who has been dragging you down, causing you to run around for my affairs, and he has never stopped over the years."

Zhou Qiong hit him lightly on the chest with his backhand, "You, me and Huang'er are brothers. If you are not good, how can Huang'er and I be good? Don't say this again in the future."

Xiao Cong looked at him steadily, "Okay, brother got it."

Although he and Zhou Qiong are cousins, they are better than real brothers.

And only in the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion can he feel the warmth of his family.

After chatting for a few more words, Zhou Qiong was about to leave.

Xiao Cong couldn't help but remind her, "You should wear clothes with higher collars recently."

It was okay for him to see it, but he was afraid that if others saw it, they would criticize his brother and sister-in-law for being aggressive.

Zhou Qiong didn't understand.

When she returned home, she thought of Prince Ding's words and stood in front of the mirror.

But as he walked, his collar loosened a little, revealing a small bloody mark caused by fingernails.

He has fair skin, so the scratch mark looks shocking.

But in such a position, anyone with an eye would know what it is without having to think about it.

Thinking of the person who was as docile as a rabbit at first, but in the end became like a cat stretching out its little claws when pushed into a corner, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Yun Ling happened to walk into the room and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Qiong said aggrievedly, "I'm injured."

"Ah, where are you hurt? Who hurt you?" she asked hurriedly.

Zhou Qiong saw that the maids were busy sorting out the dowry and had no time to look over, so she moved closer and said with an increasingly aggrieved tone, "You hurt me."

As he spoke, he tore open his collar, revealing the scars on his neck.

One was particularly obvious, and some similar traces could be vaguely seen at the bottom where it was covered by the lapel.

Yun Ling realized what was happening instantly and turned away.

Zhou Qiong hurriedly held her back and said, "You have to take responsibility."

Yun Ling wanted to hit him on the head with a stick, and at the same time she felt embarrassed and anxious, "If you continue to be so unreasonable, do you think I will tickle you tonight?"

After saying this, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

He stomped his feet, pushed the person hard, and ran away.

Zhou Qiong was left laughing, leaving everyone in the courtyard confused.
