"My mother-in-law is seriously ill in bed, and you are finally willing to take a look? Why is my life so miserable?"
As soon as she saw the visitor, Mrs. Liu spoke angrily.
Xia Yunxian raised his eyes and looked at her radiant face. No matter how turbulent the Hou family had been over the years, she was still well-dressed and well-fed, and her complexion was rosier than ordinary people!
Bitter life?
They're all used to it.
"My mother-in-law must have heard those rumors, and that's why she got so angry. It's because the daughter-in-law is unfilial, and she waited until now to find out the gossip, leaving her to vent her anger!"
With a look from her, Chunxiao dragged the two maids in.
Madam Liu frowned, but Xia Yunxian preemptively shouted coldly, "Say what you have said these past few days again in front of Madam!"
"What are you talking about? You..." How could Mrs. Liu allow Xia Yunxian to dominate in her house? She was about to attack, but she saw the two maids raised their heads in horror, with blood hanging from the corners of their mouths. It was shocking!
If you look closely, their mouths are filled with ceramic shards!
"explain!"
Xia Yunxian's voice again made them tremble, and she spoke with despair in her eyes.
"Who, who believes that she is innocent... If she hadn't been out and selling her sex, how could she have had so much money to support such a huge Hou family..."
"I would say that a daughter from a military general's family is very vulgar and will not please the prince."
"Maybe if Miss Jiang comes, our life will be better..."
Every time they uttered a word, bits of debris fell out, and the dripping blood combined with the painful expressions was extremely terrifying.
Mrs. Liu's face paled when she heard this, "You dare to criticize the master if you rebel against me! Come on, drag me down and beat me to death!"
The two cried bitterly and wanted to beg for mercy, but there was no chance.
The ground was a mess, filled with traces of blood. Mrs. Liu's chest was heaving violently, and she felt a sense of fear as she looked at Xia Yunxian, who was standing calmly in front of her.
In the past, this child was always respectful, without losing any etiquette, and he was very good at it!
Seeing such methods today, she was unable to utter a single word of the reprimand she had been full of.
Before Mrs. Liu could catch her breath, Xia Yunxian bowed guiltily, "It is my daughter-in-law's moral incompetence and incompetence in management that caused the Hou Mansion to be disturbed by such unscrupulous slaves. Please ask my mother-in-law to allow my daughter-in-law to marry her." Leave home!"
Peace and separation?
Mrs. Liu felt a buzzing in her ears, "It's just such a small thing, what's the big deal?"
"Back then, my father arranged this marriage to repay the old marquis for saving his life. My daughter-in-law felt that she was worthy of the Liu family, but the prince humiliated her in every possible way, and it was only the face of the general's mansion that my daughter-in-law could not afford to be a sinner!"
"Now that the Marquis' Mansion is in trouble, my daughter-in-law will not ignore her. She has already ruined her reputation and begged Mr. Bai to be lenient. This is to repay her mother-in-law for taking care of her over the years, and her grudges can be wiped out!"
Looking at her determined look, she really wanted to draw a clear line with the Yongding Marquis Mansion!
Now that the matter has come to this, how can Old Madam Liu mention the two hundred thousand taels? No matter how angry she is, she has to swallow it in her stomach, otherwise what will she do if she really forces the person away?
"No matter how wronged I am, I can't say such stupid things. There are no high-ranking wives in the Dongling Kingdom who are harmonious!"
"Actually, they are right. My daughter-in-law comes from a very vulgar family and does not understand worldly views." Xia Yunxian blocked Old Madam Liu with one sentence.
Seeing how hard it was, Mrs. Liu suddenly rolled her eyes and covered her chest, "Oh, it hurts..."
Aunt Lei, who was standing by, winked and hurried forward, "The old lady is already in poor health, how can the Crown Prince bear to let her suffer like this? The Crown Prince has feelings for you, don't listen to the nonsense of those cheap hooves!"
Xia Yunxian really calmed down. Mrs. Liu thought she was tempted, so she took the opportunity to say a few more nice words, "Mother promises you that she will never let Cheng Yu fail you! Those people with unknown origins will never try to break you up." !”
Xia Yunxian slowly raised his hand and wiped his reddish eyes, looking really sad.
"The prince is kind and simple by nature, so it is inevitable that he will be deceived by others. When Jiang Ruyan was adopted by the General's Mansion, she unexpectedly repaid her kindness and stole a lot of my mother's jewelry and dowry. One of them was a fake jade bracelet by the master sculptor Mr. Lu. If you are fake, you will never be able to get on the stage.”
What? !
Mrs. Liu's face froze, and she silently pulled her sleeves, gnashing her teeth with hatred in her heart.
She comforted him for a while, until Xia Yunxian left, then she pulled off the jade bracelet from her hand and smashed it to the ground!
"Yunxian is right. No matter how much she pretends to be an orphan, she is not a lady, but such a person is regarded as a treasure by Cheng Yu! Damn it, how dare you tease me with a fake!"
Next to her, Aunt Lei carefully picked up the pieces on the ground, "Then Jiang Ruyan wanted to ask the old lady to grant her a wish. She probably didn't mean to embarrass the old lady with a fake product. It can only be said that she has no vision and knowledge and is not worthy of our prince!"
Mrs. Liu thought of the way Jiang Ruyan was groveling and flattering in her room in the afternoon, and immediately sneered, "If it weren't for the fact that she gave birth to a pair of children for the Hou Mansion, I would have put this shameless flattery away. I kicked him out!"
Aunt Lei repeatedly echoed, "Isn't that right? In terms of appearance and family background, how can she compare to the imperial concubine? I can only say that wild flowers are more fragrant than domestic flowers."
Recalling everything that had happened just now, Mrs. Liu felt filled with dissatisfaction.
She originally planned to threaten Xia Yunxian. If she refused to spend 200,000 yuan to save people, then she would make the decision to let Cheng Yu accept Jiang Ruyan. Who would have thought that she would be forced to abandon the Hou Mansion and ignore it!
Peace and separation?
Even if she can afford to disgrace this person, the Hou Mansion cannot become the laughing stock of the world!
At this time, Mrs. Liu was becoming more and more disgusted with Jiang Ruyan. A glimmer of darkness flashed in her eyes, "You are saying that you are sincere to Cheng Yu and are willing to give 50,000 taels to help the Hou Mansion get out of trouble. Is this just for begging? You want to enter the Liu family?" door, then she has to show her sincerity!"
General Xia’s wife’s jewelry must be priceless, so she must hand over all of it!
That night.
As soon as Liu Chengyu entered the room, he saw Jiang Ruyan sitting next to the table of sumptuous dishes. The next second, she held up her skirt and came to him with great anticipation.
"Your Majesty, has the old lady decided on a date to welcome me in?"
Looking at this carefully dressed face, Liu Chengyu felt a lump in his throat, and after a long time he spoke in a low voice.
"At that time, you said that you were kicked out of the General's Palace and you were penniless. But did you lie to me?"
Thinking of the suffering she suffered while hiding outside the capital, if she had so much money, why didn't she take it out earlier? !
You have to know how much risk he took to secretly write letters back to the Marquis Mansion for help. Once discovered, it would be a capital crime for defecting!
