But Chu Yuxiao quickly realized that she had made a mistake.
He didn't know Grandma Xiong, so at first he thought she was just an ordinary grandma.
However, how could a grandma with such a powerful aura be an ordinary person? Besides, she came with Chu Yunfei.
At such an old age, he must have served in the palace before.
Chu Yuxiao slowly closed her eyes, suppressed her unhappy mood, and bowed: "I just lost my temper. Please let me know, I have something to ask my mother and princess."
Mother Xiong gave him a cold look, but before she could say anything, she heard Chu Yunfei's voice coming from the room: "Mother, let him in."
Mother Xiong then said coldly: "Princess, let you go in."
Chu Yuxiao nodded and walked towards the main room. Just as she was about to step through the threshold, she heard Mother Xiong reminding her: "Master Chu, don't forget the etiquette that a concubine should have."
She deliberately emphasized the word "bastard" to remind him of his identity.
Chu Yuxiao's expression froze and she stepped into the threshold silently.
"Yuxiao has met my mother." Chu Yuxiao saluted to his aunt, then turned to look at Chu Yunfei, "I have met the princess."
Mrs. Chu said calmly: "Is something wrong?"
"Yes." Chu Yuxiao lowered her head and said, "I heard that Jiaoer did something wrong and was punished by her mother and the princess. Yuxiao wanted to ask why."
"Do you still need to ask about this matter?" Mrs. Chu smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "I thought that you had grown up with your father these years and learned the rules. You should have made your own judgment."
Chu Yuxiao's expression was gloomy, thinking of what Mother Xiong had just said, "Sure enough, the son born from my aunt is far worse than those serious sons from aristocratic families."
So it's his fault that he was born a bastard?
Should a bastard be looked down upon? Should we always be inferior to others?
Even if he is the only son of this family and can take charge of the entire Chu family in the future, he must still be respectful in front of his aunt and allow himself to be humiliated?
"My son has indeed gained a lot of experience." Chu Yuxiao said in a stiff voice, her tone naturally tinged with dissatisfaction, "So my son knows that it is ordinary for a powerful person to have three wives and four concubines. From the emperor to the officials, there is no such thing. The mother-in-law will go back to her parents’ house to complain because her husband is taking a concubine.”
Mrs. Chu's face darkened: "Are you accusing Yun Fei?"
Chu Yunfei raised her eyebrows slightly.
"My son doesn't dare. My son is just telling the truth." Chu Yuxiao lowered her eyes, but her attitude was humble, "Sooner or later the King of War will have to take a concubine. Would the princess rather have him take in someone else's daughter than her own sister?"
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Chu's expression suddenly turned cold, "Are you apologizing for Chu Yunjiao, who doesn't know how to behave?"
"Son, I don't dare." Chu Yuxiao's expression changed slightly after hearing her words, but she still refused to show weakness, "The King of War likes Yun Jiao, and they are in love. As a head wife, shouldn't Yun Fei be generous? If the prince wants to take a concubine, it is a good idea for sisters to work together with the same husband. If he takes another woman, how can he know whether the other woman is evil-hearted?"
"Brother keeps saying that he doesn't dare, but every sentence is fallacious and every word is provocative." Chu Yunfei spoke unhurriedly, with a faint smile even at the corner of his mouth, "Do you still want to say, Master?" The mistress should be tolerant and generous, and should not be like a jealous wife who prevents her husband from taking concubines?"
Chu Yuxiao didn't say anything, as if he acquiesced.
"If Rong Cangruo sincerely wants to take a concubine, I will not stop him." Chu Yunfei smiled coldly, "I can handle this matter with just a raise of my hand. Do you need to come back and cry and complain?"
Chu Yuxiao's face showed disdain.
Chu Yunfei changed the subject: "But are you sure that Chu Yunjiao just wants to be the concubine of the King of War?"
"This..." Chu Yuxiao's expression changed slightly, and a hint of guilt suddenly flashed across her face, "No matter what, she is the princess's sister."
"I don't need such a shameless sister." Chu Yunfei took a sip of tea, raised her eyes slightly, and turned her eyes on Chu Yuxiao's face, "But after hearing what the elder brother said today, I finally understood What does the saying 'A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and a mouse will give birth to a son who can dig holes'."
After the words fell, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Chu Yuxiao's face: "Don't you think this sentence is too much, Princess?"
"It's not too much at all." Chu Yunfei's eyes were cold and full of sarcasm, "Aunt Chen serves people with sex and doesn't know the rules and shame. Her daughter doesn't want to make progress and just wants to follow her old path. And even though her son has read more books with his father, he still has not changed his biological mother's despicable and despicable ways in his heart, and he is even proud of it."
"Chu Yunfei!" Chu Yuxiao became angry with embarrassment, "You——"
"Presumptuous!" Mother Xiong reprimanded her coldly, "If Mr. Chu dares to call the princess by her first name again, you will be committing the following crime. No matter if you report it to the emperor or the king of war, you will be left with nothing to eat."
Chu Yuxiao sneered in her heart.
War King?
The King of War could not wait to let her get out of the palace with the divorce letter now. Did she really think that the King of War would support her?
"Mother Xiong." Chu Yunfei put down the tea cup and slowly stood up, "Let them prepare. I, the princess, will go back now."
"yes."
"If you leave, what will happen to Jiao'er?" Chu Yuxiao quickly stood in front of her, with a gloomy look on her face, "She is fragile, has been punished so much, and is scarred all over her body, and you still want her to continue to kneel in the ancestral hall and be punished? Chu Yunfei, why are you so vicious?"
"Come here." Chu Yunfei shouted suddenly, his voice was cold and bone-chilling, "Chu Yuxiao and the following offenders have repeatedly spoken rudely to this princess. She was dragged out and slapped twenty times."
Two guards walked in from the yard and walked out with Chu Yuxiao without saying a word.
Chu Yuxiao's expression suddenly changed, and she struggled subconsciously: "Chu Yunfei, you have no right -"
"If he resists severely, add twenty more." Chu Yunfei ordered coldly, "For every insult and disrespect in his mouth, add twenty more. I want to see if it is his tough words or yours." The slap is hard."
Mrs. Chu sat still on her chair and had no reaction.
Chu Yuxiao is the eldest son of Chu. Over the years, he has received the best education from his father's side and enjoyed the best resources in the house.
Because he was the only son in the family, Chu Yuanzhong had very high requirements on Chu Yuxiao's homework. He started learning at the age of three. After he officially entered school, he would check his homework whenever he had time.
Chu Yuxiao is smart and studious, and Chu Yuanzhong likes her very much.
But the child who grew up with his aunt followed his mother's temperament, was petty, selfish, had no independent opinion, and did not distinguish between superior and inferior. He relied on being the only male in the family. After the age of ten, he began to ignore his mistress. Protect his aunt and concubine.
Seeing that Mrs. Chu has not been able to give birth to a legitimate son for so many years, Aunt Chen, mother and son are becoming more and more powerful, as if they are suppressing the legitimate daughter of the first wife.
They have been strong and domineering for so long that they really think they have the final say in this family.
Today is a good time to settle old scores together.
Chu Yunfei turned to look at her mother: "From now on, I ask my mother to take control of the house and don't let my aunt and concubine override my mother. This way my daughter will have less worries in the palace."
Mrs. Chu looked calm and nodded slowly: "Don't worry Fei'er, I just didn't want to care about their mother and son's messy affairs before, so I let them have the wrong idea, thinking that they can climb on top of me and run wild, but I won't do it anymore."
Aunt Chen's good days are over.
Even if she has Concubine Gu's support behind her.
If we take it seriously, even a mere aunt cannot think of being superior to the mistress.
