The Duke’s wife is beautiful but has a dark heart

"Mother!" The curtain was raised and Xu Minghui came in.

Mrs. Qi's smile faded a little and she responded.

"Husband, what is this?" Mrs. Xu saw mother and son standing around here, and the atmosphere was good, so she got up and came over.

"My mother gave me the soft armor." Qi Xiao replied.

"Oh." Xu Minghui didn't take it seriously, and handed a box to Mrs. Qi with both hands, "Mother, this is what my husband brought back to honor you!"

Mrs. Qi took it and opened it. It was a jade bracelet.

Its quality is not even comparable to the worst among her bracelets. But was this a gift specially given by her son because he knew she liked bracelets?

A smile appeared from the bottom of his heart: "It's so beautiful! It's hard for you, a grown man, to think of these things!"

"This is a pair. My husband asked my daughter-in-law to keep one. This one is for my mother. Although it is not comparable to your bracelet, it is the best for my daughter-in-law!"

Xu's tone couldn't help but become sour.

My mother-in-law's jewelry: hairpins, locks, and rings. Although they are all valuable, they are not as brilliant as the bracelets in her hands. She has worn no fewer than twenty jade ones, green ones, two-color ones, floating flowers, and ice-like ones.

There are also topaz, black jade, purple jade, and white jade.

Inlaid with gold wire, carved with ivory, the workmanship is extremely exquisite.

There are others she can’t even name…

I wear it every day, and I probably won’t wear the same one for three months!

I was so jealous that I tried to say good things, bad things, and make false accusations for a long time, but my mother-in-law just pretended not to understand and refused to give her any words!

In the past few years since I entered the family, I have received a set of facial expressions as a greeting gift, and a set as a gift when my daughter was born.

Although they are all very good (I don’t have any anyway), I also like bracelets!

My husband listened to my complaint, and this time, he brought four bracelets.

Although I am happy in my heart, when I think of my mother-in-law, it is really incomparable...

So she chose the worst one and took it over. Firstly, she planned to disgust her mother-in-law, and secondly, she hoped that it would be a good idea...

When Mrs. Qi heard Xu Minghui's words, she was sarcastic in her heart: Who made the Xu family suffer such a decline! If you don’t even see your dowry, your younger sister and your future eldest niece won’t be able to accompany you!

But as soon as she had this idea, she felt sad: There are really people who can easily make you have evil thoughts!

Amitabha……

Mrs. Xu was winking at Qi Xiao...

Qi Xiao finally remembered and asked directly: "Mother, I heard that you handed over your family's property to your fourth brother?"

Mrs. Qi put the bracelet gently on the table: "Your grandfather delegated power to my hometown's property, and my mother took over it first. All the expenses for returning home came from here. The account is in my mother's hands, but from beginning to end It was indeed your fourth brother who came forward to do this."

"Mother, your son is the eldest son. Why don't you consider your son when spending such a large amount of money?" Ruan Jia's emotion disappeared, and Qi Xiao's dissatisfaction came back.

"You didn't go, didn't you? Besides, even my mother is temporarily keeping her..."

"Mother." Xu Minghui interrupted, minding her own business, "My husband is the eldest son and grandson of the family...he should be the one to handle such a big thing!"

Mrs. Qi's tone was cold to Mrs. Xu, "First of all, your father, the eldest son, hasn't even spoken to me yet. Your husband, the eldest grandson, has to lean back!"

Mrs. Xu blushed, but she was fighting for her husband, so she felt confident, and continued: "Mom, I know that you have always looked down on your daughter-in-law's background. This is also your right, and I will not complain! But! If this involves the husband and makes him lose his due rights, the wife will feel really sorry..."

"I really don't care about your background!" Mrs. Qi said lightly.

In the past, Mrs. Qi only thought in her heart and never really said it out loud.

But now, she doesn't want to endure it anymore.

"Mother!" Qi Xiao was shocked.

Xu Minghui was about to fake crying, but when her mother-in-law said this, she was stunned and opened her mouth...

"Uncle Ping'an, your father, has been accused by the imperial censor. He is responsible for even trivial matters, and he has done everything in a mess. It's better now. You don't have to do anything from now on. Your brother, the people from the Octagon Casino are here to catch up. .I look down on it, is there anything wrong with it?”

This is really disrespectful!

Xu Minghui's face turned red with embarrassment and tears fell down.

"Mother, how does Minghui know these things? What does it have to do with her?" Qi Xiao spoke for his wife.

Mrs. Qi looked at her silly son and thought to herself: Doesn’t she know? What does it have to do with her? So how much money are you left with after all your hard work and suffering? !

But, if you are willing, what does it mean for me to say this?

With her husband's support, Xu Minghui became pretentious: "What my mother said, my daughter-in-law has no access to, so of course I don't know. As your daughter-in-law, are you disrespectful to me? Are you not considerate to your husband? Why do you want to do this?" What about doing this to me?"

She burst into tears.

"Xu Minghui, then you have to pat your conscience and say, what have I done to you? Have I set rules for you since you entered the house? Have you pinched you? Have you stuffed beauties into your room? You took advantage of the housekeeper and kept doing little tricks. Do you think I can’t understand?”

Qi Xiao had never seen such a mother before, and he couldn't keep up the conversation for a while.

Xu Minghui still had the temper of a dog, so she held her neck and went wild: "Mother doesn't use her daughter-in-law to set rules. But when my daughter-in-law served her grandmother, she didn't see her mother. She thought our Qi family didn't have such rules!"

What she meant was that I have served the old lady, but you haven't set any rules in front of the old lady!

Mrs. Qi sneered: "If I set rules for you, I, Cui Fengying, can bear it! If you set rules for me, can others bear it?"

"Mother!" Qi Xiao was frightened to death when he heard this.

Is my mother really crazy?

How can you say something so rebellious?

Xu Minghui was overjoyed and wanted to make a big fuss, so she knelt on the ground and said, "That's my fault! From now on, my daughter-in-law will come to her mother's house every day to set the rules."

Qi Xiao was so angry that he also knelt down: "If the mother feels that her son has not done well, she can punish her directly! There is no need to bring Minghui with her..."    "You... you!" The friendship between mother and son just disappeared. Mrs. Qi shivered with anger...

But he couldn't say anything anymore.

"Madam, I have your letter!" Aunt Cui came in.

Ordinarily, if the master is still so nervous while talking in the room, Grandma Cui should not enter the room.

However, the uncle is the madam’s weakness! Those few have been keeping Madam in check for so many years!

This time the lady spent a lot of effort and money to find the soft armor.

As a result, the uncle's soft knife is not soft, he stabbed the wife himself!

It’s really not worth it for my wife!

Qi Xiao turned his face and looked at Aunt Cui, becoming angry with embarrassment!

Mrs. Qi was unprecedentedly disheartened.

Regardless of the two people kneeling on the ground, they accepted the letter numbly.

A few beautiful little words caught my eye, I opened it and took a look...

Wen Yu has arrived!

The letter was not long, but the tone was calm and normal, as if the two people had been friends for many years.

It said she had arrived and where she was staying. The subordinates bought a house in the capital and marked the location. He also said that after she settles down, she can go out!

She said...she missed herself and Yuanyuan very much and wanted to meet as soon as possible...

Like a spring breeze, it blows away the depression and coldness in my heart.

Suddenly, Mrs. Qi figured it out.

Maybe, Qi Xiao and I have a close relationship as mother and son... just admit it!

I still have a mistress, and a daughter-in-law whom I have chosen... I can't waste my life anymore...

So he looked at Xu Minghui and said: "Ms. Xu, I know what you are thinking. I'm telling you now, no. From now on, we can each do our own thing and be well! Don't worry, I won't do anything in front of anyone. I can’t say anything about you! Go out, I have a few words to say to Qi Xiao!”

Mrs. Xu cried and refused to leave.

"Come here! Get her out!" Mrs. Qi's face was as cold as ice.

Qi Xiao wanted to stop him, but seeing his mother's face, he didn't dare.

"Qi Xiao, I am useless as a mother!" After Mrs. Xu went out, Mrs. Qi looked at Qi Xiao intently, but the light that had always been in her eyes was gone...

"At the beginning, we never fought with each other. Mother and son separated from that time, and we have never been together again. This is my fault! So, mother has something to do for you. What do you want mother to do for you?"

What is she doing?

She doesn't want me anymore? !

Qi Xiao was very frightened.

For so many years, his mother has been chasing him, enduring his neglect and making things difficult for him.

Sometimes, even though everything is going well, he still wants to do something...

He was very annoyed and didn't want his mother to disturb him. But now, it seems that I am about to lose it, but I feel empty and scared...

No! No, I'm not afraid!

My grandmother raised me, and every time I got sick, my grandmother was there to take care of me...

Where was she at that time?

Socializing with ladies? Going to have tea? Going to the theater? To spend money?

His heart became cold, "Mother, you don't have to be like this. Whatever your son wants, he will earn it himself! My son doesn't want anything you have!"

"Yeah. That's all." Mrs. Qi didn't force it.

Qi Xiao felt dizzy...

"Qi Xiao, let me ask you one more thing. If I said that when I was in my hometown, the man in the backyard once harmed Yuanyuan. Would you believe it?"

"Mother?! Are you really crazy?" Qi Xiao blurted out, and he suddenly remembered what his wife said...

"You don't believe it! You really don't believe it... Do you know? If she does it, you won't be able to see your mother..." Mrs. Qi sat there, her back slumped, she was so sad...

Qi Xiao felt like he was about to suffocate. He didn't want his mother to be like this, but he didn't know what to do, so he knelt there motionless.

"...Just pretend I haven't said anything about this! I'm still investigating, so shut your mouth! If it leaks out from you, don't blame me for ignoring the love between mother and child. Get out!" Mrs. Qi said coldly explain.

Qi Xiao was ashamed, annoyed, and panicked. He stood up in a daze and walked out with a somewhat frivolous pace.

"Wait a minute!" Mrs. Qi shouted.

Qi Xiao quickly turned around.

"The truth will be revealed one day. I hope you won't regret it when the time comes!"

"I don't regret it!" Qi Xiao vented his anger.

"It's always you who don't want me! You only love the fifth child, and even the fourth child who is a concubine is better than me! Is it because you hate your grandmother and hate her for giving Aunt Xiuyun to your father, so you don't want your own son? Okay! Qi Wu He’s your son, not me!”

He finished shouting with tears in his eyes and strode away...
