Chapter 436: My Mother-in-Law is Not You
'er, how are you Is anything the matter" she asked as she looked at Ye Wenyan. Seeing that his clothes had several tears in them, she became anxious. "Were you injured Where did you get hurt Let me ha...For almost an hour, Xiao Shubi stood at the entrance of Su Wang's mansion but was not allowed to enter. This made her very angry. 。She loudly questioned the guards of Su Wangfu: "I am the mother of Su Wangfei, and the matriarch of your lord. Why is my entry to this mansion being blocked"
The guard answered with righteous indignation: “Regardless of who your mother is, as long as you are not a member of Su Wangfu, you cannot enter>>> 。"My Lady of the Night, please do not make things difficult for us. We are only guards on duty, and all rules and etiquette are determined by our master within." 。The eunuch in charge has already gone to pass the message. Madam, please wait a little longer. If the Prince wants to see you, he will naturally invite you in. 。Xiao Shubi was speechless, both angry and embarrassed. His fists clenched tightly within his wide sleeves, trembling incessantly. 。At this moment, she completely believed Ye Fei Zhou's words were true, because the previous Sixth Prince was absolutely impossible to have this attitude towards her. 。While not necessarily very respectful, the surface level performance is still quite good. 。But now, this person doesn't even want to bother with surface-level skills anymore. 。"Madam" 。Jinxiu also noticed something was wrong, she gently called her, "Let's go back! Let's go back and talk about it." 。"What are you going back to say" Xiao Shubi glared fiercely at Jin Xiu, "Since you've come, just say it here. Why go back Isn't the Su Wangfu slapping my face, but also the face of the first-rank General's mansion! Today I want everyone in Lin'an City to see, the illustrious military achievements of our first-rank General's mansion, what do they, the imperial family, think of us They took my daughter as their wife, yet they don't even let me enter the door. This is how the imperial family treats my night family Hongzhuang's grandfather is still watching from below. This is what he fought his whole life to protect" Xiao Shubi's voice grew louder and louder, gradually attracting a number of onlookers. 。People whispered all sorts of things, but most agreed with Xiao Shu Bai, feeling that the Sixth Prince's actions in shutting his mother-in-law out were indeed wrong. 。An official, whose rank I couldn't quite place, stroked his sparse whiskers and said, “The dowager empress is a senior member of the family. No matter what the sixth prince says, he can't refuse to let her in. It would be far too embarrassing for outsiders to see.” 。"If there's something to say, it's best to say it. After all, we're family. No matter what happens, talking things out will resolve them. Why wouldn't we meet at all"
Many people agreed with his words, but some still questioned: "Since the Sixth Prince recovered from his injuries, he has been different from before. Every time you see him, he is always humble and polite. He stops to greet everyone." 。I don't think the Sixth Prince would block his own people. There must be something going on here, and it can't be small. 。"What kind of thing could it be Whatever it is, it's their family business. Family matters are kept behind closed doors. To directly bar someone from the door like that...isn't that going too far Even his mother-in-law came to him personally! I've never heard of a son-in-law refusing to open the door for his mother-in-law! Does he think he's the Emperor Does he think this Duke's Mansion is the Imperial Palace He truly has the illness of an emperor without the power. His airs are really something!" 。" This was said by a young man, clearly drunk, his face flushed. " 。Standing beside her was a young woman, the two of them sharing some resemblance in their eyebrows and eyes. They must be siblings. 。When the elder sister heard what her younger brother said, she immediately got angry, reached out and poked him on the head with force, gritting her teeth and scolding: "Shut your mouth! Are you showing off Isn't it just that His Highness Sixth didn't want Wen Yan that night Are you taking up for Wen Yan Does Miss Night Fourth know who you are You dare to be so bold After drinking a few taels of cat urine early in the morning, you just talk nonsense! His Highness Sixth is the biological son of Empress Dowager Li. It's not your turn to speak!"The elder sister’s words woke up many people. Indeed, His Highness Sixth was Empress Dowager Li’s biological son. Even though Empress Dowager Li was no longer in power, there was still a Regent King! Everyone knew that the Regent King had always been towards His Highness Sixth, and now he took His Highness Sixth wherever he went, teaching him step by step. It was really not their turn to speak. 。Then people stopped blaming the Sixth Prince, and instead began to wonder why Xiao Shubu was rejected at the door. Some even said: "What did this mother-in-law do to make her son-in-law so angry that she wouldn't even let him in Even the Sixth Prince, who is known for his good temper, became angry. It shows how unbearable this Mrs. Ye really is." 。"
Xiao Sh beyaz's face turned green with anger. He turned around and shouted at them, "Shut up! My family has served Bei Qi with distinction for generations, fighting on the battlefield for centuries. This kind of achievement deserves to be respected by the world, not for you to point fingers at!" 。As soon as these words came out, the people were no longer pleased. “We are pointing at you as a person, what does it have to do with the war exploits of the Ye family Besides, don't think we don't recognize you, aren't you just the second mistress of the Ye family Your husband is a useless waste, and none of the Ye family's military achievements were won by him! This honor should be enjoyed by the old mistress and the eldest mistress, what does it have to do with you What kind of hero are you pretending to be here!”Xiao Sh beyaz was scolded back, her mind buzzing, and she turned around and pounded on the gate of Su Wangfu, shouting loudly: "Quán Qīnglù, come out for me! I'm here to see my daughter, why don't you let me in!"This time, things went as she wished. The gate opened, and the steward eunuch inside glanced at her and bowed slightly: “Second Mistress, please come in! My lord just returned from court and is discussing national affairs with several officials.” 。“No, no! Upon hearing that the Second Madam has arrived, we had to ask several esteemed guests to leave earlier. We've temporarily put state affairs aside to welcome you. The Prince already apologized to the guests, so please don't cause any more trouble!"
As she spoke, a few individuals in official robes did indeed emerge from the mansion. As they passed by her, one of them let out a harsh snort and flicked their sleeves dismissively, showing their displeasure.
The onlookers now disliked Xiao Shuwai even more, "His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is clearly discussing national affairs, what are you making a fuss about here Are you more important than the country A woman shouldn't stay at home and know how to come out and cause trouble. The second master of the Ye family doesn't say anything to discipline her, this kind of wife should be taken back home for a beating to see if she dares to do it again>>> 。Xiao Shubi was so angry that he almost swayed. Fortunately, he managed to steady himself. 。She glanced at the basket Jinxiu was carrying, and whispered, "Make sure you've got everything, and stand tall. Don't disgrace your Third Miss!"Jinxiu nodded and followed her inside with the basket. 。It's just that I'm really puzzled, what would it take to bring a basket of eggs to the Duke's mansion Could the Duke's mansion possibly run out of eggs without Miss Third's contribution
In the front hall of the Duke's mansion, Quan Qingyin sat at the head, watching Xiao Shuang step closer, but she didn't stand up to greet him. She just sat there sipping tea>>> 。The lid of the teacup trembled up and down, as if it hadn't seen Xiao Shubi at all. 。Xiao Shubi didn't care about his attitude either. Anyway, the purpose of coming here today was not to have a calm and rational conversation. His attitude didn't matter anymore. 。She just wanted to see her daughter and ask the Sixth Prince where her daughter's child had gone. 。Xiao Shubei entered the room, glanced at Quan Qingyin, thought for a moment, and said, "Sixth Prince, should I perform a grand ceremony and greet you The outside world says that Sixth Prince is different now from before. He is more gentle and polite than before. I thought Sixth Prince had matured, and as your mother-in-law, I could also enjoy the privileges of a mother-in-law..." 。"Look at the Third Prince's posture today, he seems to have no idea how to behave. Otherwise, how could his mother-in-law be standing while her son-in-law is sitting" Right then, Quan Qingyin also raised his eyelids and looked at her, after a moment he said: "This king is nearsighted, how come I don't remember my mother-in-law looking like this This king's mother-in-law should be…" He pondered for a while, and then said, "taller than Madam, much thinner, and a bit whiter, with no flesh on her face like yours." 。Her family was from a line of warriors. Her mother-in-law learned martial arts from a young age. Although she was skilled in everything from wielding swords to using spears, she still seemed very gentle overall. 。“He spoke, carefully observing Xiao Shubi, then shook his head. “It’s not like this, you are too flamboyant. She is very reserved. You need to use fine clothes and an arrogant head to show your status. She doesn't need to. She just needs to stand there, and everyone can see that she is a noble lady, someone of high standing.” 。"When Xiao Shubi heard his words, she almost laughed. “Now you know that recognizing Mu Qianqiu is your mother-in-law Then who was the one who wholeheartedly wanted to marry my daughter back then Who looked down on Ye Wenyan with scornful eyes Who made my daughter pregnant before marriage and suffered from the scorn of outsiders”Quan Qingyin raised his head and looked at her, “This king doesn’t know who you are talking about, but it shouldn’t be this king.” 。The previous emperor had already issued an imperial decree for my marriage to Miss Ye Si. How could I possibly defy the imperial decree Defying the emperor is a grave crime. Even if I were the Crown Prince, this accusation would be too heavy to bear. Lady Ye Er, you wouldn't be able to bear it either. So please, let us not speak of past matters again. 。"Don't mention it" Xiao Shubi stared at him, her mind constantly replaying Ye Fei Zhou's words. 。This Sixth Prince is a fake, he just looks exactly like the previous one. I don't know if he's wearing a human skin mask or something, but whatever it is, this isn't the same person as before. 。She desperately wanted to glean some clues from his face, but after staring for a long time, she found nothing. 。The two of them looked exactly alike, even the domineering and unreasonable way they were behaving right now was identical. The only difference was their attitude towards her and Hong Zhuang. 。Xiao Shubi took a deep breath, no longer dwelling on the previous topic. Anyway, she was already married into the family. What was the point of arguing about whether to acknowledge it now She had heard that during the New Year's Eve banquet, everyone attended in their finest red attire. In front of the emperor, all the officials and their families, he would acknowledge her as the Red Attire Princess Consort. Saying these things now was just a childish outburst, meant to anger her. 。She comforted herself this way in her heart, but forgot to think why the Sixth Prince was angry with her. 。 >nyuan let out a cold snort, "If you have the ability, wait until then. Don't beg Ayan for help." 。"Ye Fei Zhou actually really wanted to ask what he could help with, but Quan Qing Yun knelt down first...
