The legitimate daughter is reborn, her life is still with her
Chapter 4: Close relatives seize the prince's mansion
The next day, the morning sun rose in the east, the morning light was dim, the sky was as clear as water after the rain, and the air in early spring was a little moist, but still a little chilly.
"My lady is not fully recovered yet, be careful not to catch a cold." Xia He gently put the soft brocade cloak on Zhou Jiaqing.
Zhou Jiaqing said calmly: "It's okay. I'm already well. If I don't go to the old lady's place, I'll have to hurry. Xia He, you and Dongmei will follow you. Chuntao, you'll guard the yard."
The old lady lives in Ronghuaju, which is far away from her Taoran Garden.
Zhou Jiaqing was walking on the bluestone road. The path was still wet, but he saw tiny dewdrops rolling on the leaf tips beside the road. A gust of wind blew, and Zhou Jiaqing gathered his cloak and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Xia He watched from the side, feeling a little strange in his heart. He saw that the young lady had changed a lot. She was no longer running around like before. Now she was walking with her back straight step by step, and her skirt did not move at all. She actually looked more dignified.
In the time it took for a cup of tea, Zhou Jiaqing was already standing at the door of Ronghua Residence. Listening to the cheerful voice coming from inside, his whole body felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
The second brother-in-law, a close relative, learned before her death that the second brother-in-law also had hidden evil intentions, took away the Hou Mansion, and gave her a killer drug. She took a deep breath and tightened the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.
"Grandma, you see the second sister hasn't come yet, don't blame me for finishing the sweet-scented osmanthus and chestnut flour cake without leaving any for her?" A playful voice sounded.
The speaker was Zhou Jiayun, the legitimate daughter of the second wife of the Hou Mansion. She was two years younger than herself and ranked fourth. She seemed to speak innocently and informally, and any inappropriate behavior was dismissed as a child.
If he hadn't learned the truth in his previous life, Zhou Jiaqing himself would have almost believed that the other party was a carefree person who was inexperienced in the world. Also, there was no simple-minded person in the high school and deep courtyard. Everything was just a disguise.
At this moment, it seemed like a light joke, and it was said innocently, as if it was really a little girl who was worried about a pastry. However, everyone present understood the twists and turns in the house door, and it is also thought-provoking when you think about it carefully. It seems that she, Zhou Jiaqing, deliberately did not come to pay her respects.
"Qing'er greets my grandmother." Zhou Jiaqing stepped into Ronghua Residence and smelled the familiar sandalwood fragrance slowly drifting over.
Everyone looked at the woman walking towards her. She was wearing a crimson silk pleated satin skirt with dark flowers. Her long hair was pulled up into a double bun. Her skin was as fair as cream, and her long eyebrows were as curved as an ink painting. They were not dotted but emerald, and her eyes were wide. Her eyes are like a pool of clear water, her eyes are calm and calm, and she has an elegant Tsinghua University temperament. She is completely different from the willful and arrogant second daughter of the past, and she has gained a kind of settled stability for some reason.
Zhou Jiaqing didn't seem to notice others looking at her. After entering, he bowed to the old lady in a polite manner, and then raised his head to look at the old lady sitting on the seat.
Li Yaxuan, the second wife of the Zhou family, stood under her grandmother. Her daughter Zhou Jiayun held a plate of snacks and nestled next to the smiling old lady. Qin Xingyue was beside her.
Sitting on the other side were the two concubines of the Zhou family, and behind them stood three aunts.
The look of surprise on Mrs. Zhou's face had not yet faded away, and her sunken eye sockets revealed a faint fierceness. She looked at Zhou Jiaqing silently, and then ordered Aunt Zhou beside her to help Zhou Jiaqing up.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Grandma Lao is worried. The imperial doctor from the palace has just looked at her. It's nothing serious." Zhou Jiaqing replied.
"Well, pay more attention in the future, take good care of yourself, and don't alert the palace doctors with any minor illness." The old lady said with slight dissatisfaction.
She was dissatisfied because the imperial doctor did not come to Ronghuaju to take a look at her body.
In her previous life, she thought that the old lady was just a rigid and harsh person, but now it seemed that she was just being like this to her, and her shrewdness was unknown to her at that time.
"Qing'er remember your grandmother's teachings." Zhou Jiaqing replied.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jiaqing didn't make any noise, so the old lady was slightly surprised when she heard this.
Aunt Zhou also looked at the second young lady. She had been serving the old lady closely. She knew that the old lady did not like this granddaughter. The second young lady had a bad temper and was unwilling to talk to her. She had never spoken to her grandson and her grandson. In a word, I didn't expect that the second young lady would answer seriously today, but instead she would look generous.
"By the way, I thought I heard the fourth sister saying something interesting when I just walked in. Is sister late?" Zhou Jiaqing suddenly smiled and looked at Zhou Jiayun and said.
"Not too late, not too late, the second sister came just in time." Zhou Jiayun quickly explained that Zhou Jiaqing just said that the imperial doctor was seeing a doctor, so it would be unreasonable for him to care about whether he was late or not.
Zhou Jiayun was stunned for a moment. What she said just now was deliberately aimed at Zhou Jiaqing, but she was sure that Zhou Jiaqing didn't care at all and couldn't hear the implication of her words. Today, it was the first time that he showed a questioning look towards her.
After saying that, Zhou Jiayun was keenly aware of Zhou Jiaqing's strangeness. Although the other party was smiling, his eyes were extremely cold, as if carrying a terrifying emotion. His heart trembled, and he took two steps back unconsciously.
Taking another closer look, Zhou Jiaqing looked normal again, gentle and a little weak, but without the terrifying expression just now.
Is she being blinded?
"Second sister, I heard that you admired the fourth prince, and even accidentally fell into the water just to take a peek at him. Second sister, you..." Before Zhou Jiaqing could reply, the woman in yellow standing beside her spoke with an arrogant expression.
