After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day

The customs and landscape of Lingzhou are particularly fascinating. Zhu Qingan originally planned to stay in Lingzhou for only a few days before returning to Ancheng.

Unexpectedly, with the strong retention and careful care of his grandfather's family, Zhu Qing'an actually stayed in Lingzhou for nearly a month.

Zhu Qingan had a very happy time in Lingzhou this month.

She enjoyed the care of her grandfather's family, and the smile on her face became brighter as she traveled with her two cousins ​​every day.

However, no matter how reluctant she was, Zhu Qing'an knew that she could not stay any longer. There were still many things unfinished in Ancheng, and the person she couldn't let go of the most was her aunt.

"Are you really going back?" Old Madam Shui held her granddaughter's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

The other people from the Water Palace surrounding him were also extremely reluctant to let him go. Although everyone's kindness towards Zhu Qing'an was due to family affection and blood ties in the beginning, after spending this month together, everyone really liked Zhu Qing'an.

"Yes, there is nothing much to do in Ancheng, so why don't you stay here for a while!" Aunt Li tried to persuade her to stay.

Both Li and Zeng wanted a daughter, but they had no children after giving birth to a son. Now they treat Zhu Qing'an like their own daughter and are reluctant to let her leave.

"Grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt, Qing'an knows everyone's good intentions, but there are still many things to do in Ancheng. When I have free time in the future, Qing'an will come to bother you. Just don't dislike me then!" Zhu Qing'an joked.

Zeng knew that she could not keep Zhu Qing'an. No matter how good Lingzhou was, it could not compare to Ancheng, where she was born and raised.

"Be careful on your journey, we always welcome you back!" Zeng said, handing Zhu Qing'an a box she had prepared long ago, and whispered in Zhu Qing'an's ear, "If you are family, don't refuse!"

The heavy box made Zhu Qing'an realize that the things inside must be very valuable, but since her second aunt had said so, it would seem awkward for her to refuse.

"Thank you, second aunt!" Zhu Qing'an smiled sweetly.

Zeng smiled, and Li also took out a box and handed it to Zhu Qingan, saying helplessly, "They are just girly things. They can't compare to the luxury of Ancheng, but they are fresh enough to wear on weekdays!"

"My aunt has excellent taste. When I wear these things, I will definitely be envied by many girls!" Zhu Qing'an took it with both hands.

She had heard her second cousin mention before that her two aunts had secretly collected a lot of good things from their daughters just to prepare for her, and she understood their thoughtfulness.

"I'm glad you don't mind!" Li said, and lovingly tidied Zhu Qing'an's clothes, but she was still reluctant to let her go.

The two uncles didn't say so many sentimental words, but their eyes were full of encouragement when they looked at Zhu Qing'an.

"Your two aunts are the most prudent, and your grandfather didn't give you anything else. Although these silvers are common things, at least you can buy whatever you need yourself!" Old Master Shui handed a stack of banknotes to Zhu Qing'an.

Before Zhu Qing'an could refuse, Madam Shui said, "I know you have everything you need, but a lady from an aristocratic family needs to be taken care of everywhere, and you can't be inferior to others. We are just businessmen, and this is all we can give you! The shop we gave you when you came of age must have made some money over the years. You may not need to take care of it yourself, but you still have to let the people below take good care of it. If you get married in the future, it will also be your dowry!"

"Shop?" Zhu Qing'an's heart, which had been moved, suddenly cooled down and he asked subconsciously.

These words stunned everyone who were originally very reluctant to leave.

"The year you came of age, your grandparents sent you a gift. The gift included dozens of profitable shops. Didn't you know about that?" Uncle Shuizhou frowned.

Zhu Qingan shook his head, his eyes full of doubt. "I can be sure that I didn't receive any gifts from the Water Mansion when I came of age!"

It turned out that without his knowledge, his maternal grandparents had actually prepared a gift for him? Dozens of shops, even in Ancheng, would be something that people would envy.

"Hmph!" Zeng pushed her husband aside. "All the gifts for Qing'an's coming-of-age celebration that year were given to my aunt. It seems my aunt not only concealed the truth but also took it for herself!"

Zeng's words used the word "greed", which was really harsh. However, this family was heartbroken by Shui Shiyu, so they agreed with what he said.

"She has the nerve to embezzle her own daughter's coming-of-age ceremony!" Old Master Shui coughed in anger, and everyone rushed forward to comfort him.

"Don't worry, father. I will send someone to check what's going on with the shop!" The second master of the Shui family, Zhu Qing'an's second uncle, advised.

Old Master Shui nodded, and Zhu Qing'an accompanied the two old men for dinner. Originally, the two old men asked Zhu Qing'an to go back and rest early, after all, Qi Chen would return to Ancheng tomorrow morning.

But before Zhu Qing'an left, he saw his second uncle and second cousin enter the house with serious expressions.

Second uncle Shui Zheng first glanced at Zhu Qingan, his eyes full of guilt and heartache for the younger generation. Zhu Qingan's heart sank, and he had some guesses in his mind.

as expected...

"Father, Mother, the coming-of-age gift that our family prepared for Qing'an was given to the Yang Mansion by my younger sister. However, the Yang Mansion has not been managed properly over the years, and all those shops have been sold!" Shui Zheng said, clenching his fists in anger, his eyes full of disappointment and anger.

"It's really her fault!" Old Madam Shui cried in anger. "Those shops were carefully selected by our Shui Mansion for their good revenue. They are also close to Ancheng, making it convenient for Qing An to collect the debts in the future. We never expected that that evil creature would give them to others!"

"Grandma, don't be angry. Qing'an knows how good you are to her!" Zhu Qing'an quickly poured a cup of warm water and handed it over.

The two old people are old, and Zhu Qingan is really afraid that if such things happen too often, the two old people will be angry to death.

She also felt that her mother's behavior was too absurd. It turned out that she not only embezzled gold and silver from the Wen'an Marquis Mansion to help the Yang Mansion, but even did the same with the things sent by her parents.

If she had not come to Lingzhou this time, she might never have known in her life that her grandparents had treated her so well.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry about my younger sister. Since you have decided to have nothing to do with her in the future, she is no longer important to you!" Shui Zheng advised.

Old Master Shui had been silent the entire time, then spoke in a heavy voice, "Yes, she's not worthy of being a son, nor a mother! Forget it! From tomorrow on, the moment she steps out of this door, treat her as if she's dead!"

These words, coming from Old Master Shui, showed that he was truly heartbroken. You know, he doted on this little daughter the most.

Old Madam Shui wiped away her tears. Although she was sad, she firmly supported her husband, and Shui Zheng also nodded.

Their Shuifu cannot tolerate such heartless and ungrateful people!
