In the evening, in the old lady's house.
"I heard that my mother didn't eat much today, but she has a bad appetite? The red date soup made by Yan'er is particularly appetizing. I'll ask her to bring it to you later."
As soon as Liu Chengyu entered the door, he lifted up his clothes and sat down. The old lady frowned and just said coldly, "Don't mention that foxy girl here! If it weren't for her, Yunxian could catch the handle and still Empty your mother’s pocket?”
In the end, Jiang Ruyan only took out less than one hundred thousand taels, and the rest was all made up by Mrs. Liu herself. She still can't lift it up in one breath, and her heart is bleeding. How can she still eat it?
"How can you blame her for this? Why didn't mother say that it was the second brother who acted recklessly and almost harmed the entire Hou family!" He is the eldest son! But in order to clean up the mess for Liu Chengshan, he had to run around looking for connections and bow to others. When he came back, he had to be looked down upon by Xia Yunxian!
"Your brother is just a good drinker, how could he have any evil intentions..."
Hearing a bang, Liu Chengyu suddenly placed the tea cup heavily on the table, staring dissatisfiedly, "Didn't mother say that I am your most valued son, why do you always favor him?"
The old lady was stunned immediately, her eyes flickered and she quickly comforted, "Okay, okay, when Chengshan comes back, you can beat him and scold him if you want, but before that, you'd better win Yunxian's heart, you... haven't consummated the marriage yet, right?" ?”
"Why are you mentioning this?" Liu Chengyu frowned, but in his mind, Xia Yunxian's face was as bright as the moon on the sea. After so many years, all her youthfulness has faded, and she has gained a bit of wisdom and restraint.
I still remember the first time I met her, just one look back at her in the pavilion of the General's Mansion gave me an unforgettable feeling.
When his father said they were engaged, he was overjoyed, but later he learned that Xia Yunxian despised him from the bottom of his heart! I don't want to marry him at all!
What a startling glance, he doesn't care about the woman whose eyes are as high as the top!
If his father hadn't been defeated in the war and the Hou family was increasingly in decline, he had to rely on the power of the General's family. Otherwise, he would have ruined the marriage and married Yan'er, who truly understood and loved him!
"What are you doing? If you don't let her get pregnant quickly, how can she stay in the Hou Mansion willingly! Women, you need to have your own flesh and blood to feel at ease!"
Old Madam Liu patted his shoulder with disdain. After all, as long as she tied Xia Yunxian tightly, she would be able to get back what she lost from her today twice as much sooner or later!
Unexpectedly, Liu Chengyu's eyes were cold, "How dare she have other thoughts? Now that she has married into the Hou family, she will be a member of the Liu family in life and a ghost of the Liu family in death!"
"You... are so stupid! Only by spreading the branches and leaves can the Hou Mansion prosper!"
"Then let Yan'er give you some fat grandsons."
"Her? She's not as good as an outhouse. Now that you've returned, are you still thinking of repeating your old tricks and adopting the child into Yun Xian's name?"
Mrs. Liu also laughed angrily. In the past, Xia Yunxian thought that Cheng Yu died in battle and she would never have another child in her life, so she agreed to adopt him!
So what now?
I saw Liu Chengyu's serious face, "Didn't mother agree to let Yan'er in? When the limelight is over, I will treat her as an equal wife, and the child will no longer have to borrow the identity of Xia Yunxian's aunt."
When the time comes, it would be a good choice to find an excuse to divorce Xia Yunxian and make the arrogant daughter of heaven become a concubine.
Mrs. Liu finally couldn't bear it anymore and swept the tea cup on the table to the ground. "A common wife? She deserves it! With me here, you can never bring that foxy girl in and embarrass yourself!"
The sudden quarrel made the maids in the room lower their heads. Liu Chengyu took a deep breath. Unexpectedly, his mother went against her promise and refused to give him face. She stood up with a sullen face.
"Since she still has the strength to throw things, my mother must be fine. Where is Yan'er? Let's take her away now, so as not to bother her mother!"
"Haha, that despicable thing can't even do anything bad, so I punished her by copying scriptures!"
What? !
He also promised Yan'er that the old lady would not make things difficult for her. Now that he was slapped in the face like this, Liu Chengyu was no longer polite!
"My mother is so good at discipline, how could she bring up my third sister to be like that? Evil people will be punished by evil people. She had her arm removed by Xia Yunxian today. I have ordered people to take care of her. She has no brother. She deserves it!"
"Ah? Qingqing is back, you..."
Mrs. Liu opened her mouth in disbelief, and then she felt a rush of heat rush to the top of her head. Her vision went dark, and she fell down without warning. There were exclamations from all around.
"Old lady - what should I do?"
Liu Chengyu didn't expect that with just a few words, his mother would be so angry that she fainted. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "What should I do? Doctor of the Imperial Household! Hurry!"
"No, let's go to the Crown Princess, she has a way!" Aunt Lei on the side seemed to have remembered something and immediately interrupted Liu Chengyu.
"Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? When you visited the General's Mansion, you suddenly fell ill. Your symptoms were the same as those of the old lady. It was the Crown Princess who saved you!"
Some pictures seemed to flash through Liu Chengyu's mind, and when he was suspicious, Xia Yunxian's figure appeared in the house.
At this time, the old lady had been helped to the bed, her face was a bit paler than before, and there was still a little foam at the corner of her mouth.
"The anger was so intense that it caused the old illness to relapse. Fortunately, my mother-in-law has been taking various famous medicines over the years, and she has been taking good care of her for the past few days and has been fine."
Liu Chengyu, who stood silently aside, watched in surprise as Xia Yunxian took out a few silver needles from an old cloth bag, carefully inserted them into the acupuncture points on the top of the old lady's head, and then bled out the earlobes on both sides to clean up the filth in her mouth. After picking up the object, Grandma Lei quickly laughed happily.
"It's time to catch your breath! Master, look at it!"
Liu Chengyu stretched out his hand and found that the old lady's breathing had become much calmer, and her face gradually turned rosy.
Then Xia Yunxian walked to the table, picked up a pen and wrote down a prescription. Looking at her calm and beautiful face, Liu Chengyu felt like a lump in his throat. After a long time, he murmured, "Xia Yunxian, at that time... you knew I fell into the lake. , why don’t you save me when you die..."
There was some confusion on the face of the woman in front of him. Liu Chengyu clenched his fists and rationally told him that it had been so many years. Besides, could she still admit it?
She just looked down on him and wished he would die in the general's mansion, so the marriage would not be finalized.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yunxian immediately remembered the past and couldn't help but sneer.
"Your Majesty, what you are talking about is that before we got engaged, you and the old Marquis came to the General's Mansion as guests, and fell into a coma and fell into a lake due to illness, right? I fished you out of the lake and gave you acupuncture and medicine, but why did you die? No need to save?"
