After Lingxiu left the East Palace, he returned home and wanted to continue convincing his mother.
But Mrs. Ling is still very determined. If Ling Xiu dares to break off the engagement, she will commit suicide.
She cried and scolded her son, "How old are you and you haven't gotten married yet? Do you really think you are capable? You have no official position and no position. You work hard for the prince all day long. What rewards has His Highness given you? Have you been promoted? You? To put it nicely, you are the commander of the Qinglong Guard. Go out and ask which yamen recognizes you? Besides, now that the marriage has been decided, and you want to break off the engagement now, don’t other girls have no face? How can you get married in the future? ?”
"My son is not as unlucky as you think. Besides, I have already fallen in love with someone, and it is impossible to marry Miss Su. Now that the marriage has just been decided and has not been announced to the public, it is better to leave as early as possible. I will try my best to raise any compensation the Su family wants. Compensate until they are satisfied, or in other words, tell the other party to let the other party cancel the engagement, so that Miss Su's face can be saved..."
Mrs. Ling was furious and slapped her, "You can tell me that if the Su family breaks off the marriage, our family will lose face? Your sister hasn't gotten married yet, and your brother hasn't gotten married yet. They will all lose face because of you." Are you willing to settle down without a good marriage?"
After Lingxiu was slapped, he knelt down and said, "Anyway, my son will not marry Miss Su. If the mother insists on having her own way, the son will leave home. From now on, you will pretend that you have never given birth to a son."
Mrs. Ling was so angry that her vision went dark, "You...you actually said such words, you are really going to make your mother angry to death. Since you said that, I will also say something cruel to you. If you don't marry Miss Su, , I ruined that Ape’s reputation outside. How can a woman like her be with a group of guards all day long? How can she be a good person? I’m afraid her innocence has long since disappeared..."
"Mother!" Lingxiu shouted angrily, "You are not allowed to say that about her. She follows the rules and is not what you said."
"You are really deceived by lard." Mrs. Ling looked at him with disappointment, stretched out her hand to caress her chest, her eyes darkened, "You can get out of this house, but after you get out, you don't have to come back to collect my body and fulfill your filial piety. I Just pretend that I never gave birth to a son like you."
"Don't force your son."
"You are forcing me, forcing this mother who gave birth to you and raised you, so what good is Apei? She is following the Crown Princess, she is not even a female official, and what kind of person is the Crown Princess? She is Patricide..."
"Shut up!" Lingxiu stood up with a stern face, "I don't care what outsiders say about the Crown Princess, but you are my mother. I have received great favor from His Highness and will never allow you to slander the Crown Princess like this. You don’t know anything, so you just follow the nonsense of people outside.”
Mrs. Ling was so angry that she sneered a few times, "Okay, okay, tell me to shut up, okay, I'll shut up, I won't care about your business from now on, get out of here right now, get out of this house .”
Ling Xiu said: "I don't want any words to slander the Crown Princess to be said from the mouths of my family members. Don't have too much contact with Princess Jin. You can't see clearly what her intentions are. If there is any good or evil, then that is Mother should think twice about bringing down the family."
"Stop!" Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, Madam Ling shouted angrily, "What's wrong with Princess Jin? Do you know that Prince Jin will soon take up the post of Minister of War? I am fawning over her now. If you lead your father to make friends with Prince Jin, your father's future will depend on his care. I also warn you that you can work for the prince, but if you want to target Prince Jin, I can't spare you."
Lingxiu took a breath and said, "Mother, you know that I am working as an errand for His Highness the Crown Prince, and you actually want to lure your father to make friends with Prince Jin? You are really crazy."
