I am a leisurely rich woman in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 33 Beating
Although there are many palace maids around the old lady, there are only a few favored palace maids. Yu Lu is a disappointing one, and the only ones she can see are Cong Shuang and Xue Chi.

As for peony, the old lady has never liked it.

It’s just that the old lady is kind, and Shaoyao has never done anything wrong, so she has been kept.

No one in the entire Starry Sea dared to take in the Dragon Girl who was banished by the Old Lady.

Xue Chi also smiled happily and agreed.

At this time, a tall and slender figure stood out, and the Third Prince walked in with a smile on his face.

With such a noble and dignified appearance, it’s no wonder that Yu Lu would never turn back even if she hit a wall.

Who wouldn't fall for such a gentle, considerate, promising and noble young man?
"Why are you here?" the old lady asked curiously.

"Today's practice has been more effective with less effort. I have some free time, so I came here thinking of my mother."

The Third Prince took the tea from Congshuang and glanced at Yueshu beside him, "This is Yueyue, right? I heard Yulu mention her before, saying that she helped Yulu a lot before."

The old lady's originally happy smile was suddenly clouded.

"How dare you say that!"

"When did you get together with her?"

"You really made me angry!"

The Third Prince sighed and said apologetically: "Mother, I'm sorry, but Yu Lu is gentle and lovely, and I do have some feelings for her..."

The old lady saw her son talking about Yu Lu and saw a smile on his face. She understood and just asked coldly,
"If you have feelings for her, why didn't you tell me clearly when I wanted to choose a husband for her?"

“Now it’s difficult for everyone!”

"Fortunately, the Ling family is a rare family that would rather swallow the shame than expose it. Otherwise, wouldn't your reputation as the Third Prince be tarnished?"

"Fighting for a servant's wife, if this matter gets out, it will be a laughing stock for the entire Crystal Palace!"

When the Third Prince heard this, his face was filled with apology.

"I'm sorry for making you worry. It's my fault that I didn't do it well. I'm willing to take responsibility."

The Third Prince thought about it and asked tentatively,
"How about compensating the Ling family?"

"You don't have to do these things. The Ling family must be eager to forget this shitty thing as soon as possible, so you just need to bury it in your heart. It will be a blessing if you don't mention it again in your life!"

The old lady looked at the apologetic look on the Third Prince's face, and her anger gradually subsided. She said calmly,

"How do you want me to explain this to Yuhua Xianzong and Caiyue?"

"They say that I take good care of Lianyun, but since they are newly married, I, an old woman, stuffed the maidservant in front of me into my son's bed to be his concubine!"

"What do you want Yuhua Xianzong to think?"

The third prince had already stood up by now, and with his head bowed and his hands hanging, he listened attentively to the old lady's reprimand.

"Is it so easy to fool a big sect? It's just that you have a good wife! She is devoted to you."

"Although Lian Yun comes from one of the most powerful sects, she does not have the slightest bit of arrogance or domineering aura."

"For this matter between you and Yu Lu, she didn't blame or argue with you, nor did she complain to her parents' home. She even took responsibility for everything for you."

"She said she had her eyes on Yu Lu. If it was someone else, she would definitely hold her in her hands for fear that she would melt!"

"Instead, you don't cherish her at all and keep pestering a palace maid!"

"He just got married and he married a palace maid as his concubine. Which woman can endure such humiliation?"

The Third Prince also looked somewhat uneasy at this time.

He was too proud now, having a wife who was very caring towards him, so he didn't consider Lianyun's feelings. "Mother, it was my son who was wrong."

"It's good that you know you're wrong. I don't care what kind of feelings you had with Yu Lu before, but you must not let Lian Yun down!"

"Lianyun is your legitimate wife, the woman you should treat wholeheartedly."

"Just pretend that what happened to you in the past never happened. But if I find out that Yu Lu dares to compete with Lian Yun for favor in the future, don't blame me for beating her to death!"

"Mother, she is always gentle and kind, she definitely wouldn't dare to do that."

"Can you guarantee that her gentle personality won't change over time? Don't forget the Bai family member in your eldest brother's palace!"

The old lady looked at the third prince seriously, "You used to be gentle and kind, but now that you have the second girl, you have become more concerned!"

"Although she has no son these years, she has done a lot for the second girl."

"Have you forgotten that a few days ago you took the initiative to arrange the second girl's marriage to the Tiger Demon King as his second wife?"

"The wealth and splendor in this Crystal Palace has already fostered her ambitions!"

"Where is the gentleness of the past?"

“Don’t forget the past and learn from it. Don’t repeat the same mistakes.”

There was no trace of a smile on the handsome face of the Third Prince at this moment. It was like a basin of cold water was poured on his heart, chilling it completely.

Yue Shu was actually quite shocked that the old lady was such a sensible person.

Since the fate of the Third Prince and Yu Lu has been fulfilled, no matter how favored Yu Lu is in the future, the Third Prince will not favor her.

What a miserable ending!
The old lady continued with a sullen face, "There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and there is a hierarchy. Legitimate sons and daughters are the lifeblood of the clan, and illegitimate children are still of varying quality after all."

"No matter how many concubines you have in the future, your eldest son must be born to Lianyun!"

"Only when there is a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children can the family be stable and our dragon clan can grow stronger day by day."

"I understand, son. Thank you mother for your advice." The third prince said seriously.

The old lady felt relieved when she saw that he also knew the importance of the matter.

"I despise her not only because she is being clever and letting the Ling family take the blame, but I also dislike her for only wanting to climb up the social ladder!"

"Think about it yourself. If you were not the noble Third Prince in this Crystal Palace, would she still be so desperate to be with you?"

"When I saw the moon in the sky, I ignored my promise and even gave up my own innocence."

"There are so many palace maids around me, why is she the only one like this? Are they all fools who don't know that they can enjoy wealth and glory by clinging to a master?"

"It's not entirely true that everyone in my palace behaves themselves, but she's the only one who dares to make trouble in front of me!"

The old lady helped the Third Lady to say all those unpleasant words, thus avoiding any rift in the relationship between the Third Prince and the Third Lady, and also blocking Yu Lu's path to advancement.

Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been complicated. The old lady is really a sensible mother-in-law.

Cultivators are also sentient beings, so naturally they have their own problems to deal with.

The Third Lady is so lucky to have such a mother-in-law to support her.

"My son understands."

The Third Prince's face wasn't too good either, because it was a time of great success and he acted rather frivolously.

Today's admonition is indeed a wake-up call for him.

"Now that she has finally entered your palace, she must have a status, but she can only be a maid, and she can never be a concubine! Do you know that?"
