Chapter 269 I Don't Dislike You

In the presence of a large audience, he did not expect her to speak so bluntly, King Hejian was visibly stunned.

However, her behavior of resolutely drawing a clear line with this person won Cui Pu's approval.He hurried forward and said, "Since you are unwell, Prince Hejian, you should go back and rest quickly! It's freezing and snowy outside, so it's not suitable to go out. Our husband and wife have something to do, so let's go first. You go back Be careful on the road, and don't get bumped again!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly pulled Mu Jiaojiao into his carriage, and urged the driver to rush to Mu's house.

Seeing these two people rushing away like a gust of wind, without any nostalgia, King Hejian's eyelashes drooped slightly, and the long eyelashes blocked the complicated emotions in his eyes.The little servant looked worried: "These two people are so rude! If it weren't for the sake of their face that they just relieved the illness of the county king, I would definitely not let them go like this!"

"You all know that they have relieved my illness. This is the greatest kindness to me. And these two people said the same thing in front of the saint. The saint has never blamed them. What qualifications do you have?" King Hejian Slowly.

The boy was taken aback.King Hejian had already closed his eyes: "Okay, let the coachman turn around and go back to the manor!"

Because of this midway episode, Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao's mood became somewhat depressed.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Mu's house, Mrs. Gong still didn't give them a good look.

On the contrary, the two little dolls, Mu Yiyi and Mu Hao, treated her well.Especially Mu Yi, the little girl is now 13 years old, and she has become slim and graceful without knowing it. Although her appearance is not very beautiful, she has a sweet smile. For more than a year, she has been invited by Mu You The mother who came here taught her that her every move was a little bit gentle and elegant, and she was quite a ladylike demeanor.It is said that many people have come to propose marriage now.

Ever since Mu Jiaojiao came back years ago, she has been pestering Mu Jiaojiao's sisters and yelling non-stop.This time when Mu Jiaojiao came again, she was even more attentive by her side, serving tea and water.

Mu Hao is already a 12-year-old boy.Maybe it's because Mu You has been bringing him up and upbringing him for the past two years, his demeanor and upbringing are remarkable, even Cui Pu himself praised him.Now that Mu Jiaojiao and Mu You are sitting together talking, he hangs his head aside, with a calm face and no impatience.

Seeing all this, Mu Jiaojiao felt a sigh of relief—fortunately, these two children have not received the true inheritance of the Gong family, and the next generation of the Mu family is still very hopeful.In fact, she doesn't care about the future of these two people, but Mu Hao is Father's only son after all, and Mu Hao's future is related to the future of the entire Mu family, and he is also the continuation of Mu You's life.She didn't want to watch Mu You's achievements of hard work for so many years be ruined by a worthless son.

Contrary to her, Gong's mood is very bad now.

In other words, since Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao became famous, she has not been very happy.

The reason is also very simple - Mu Jiaojiao became famous, and Mu You was also rewarded as a general of Guide. The whole Mu family followed suit and became a person with a certain status in Chang'an City.Naturally, she also sealed an imperial order, and her status rose sharply among the handkerchief handouts.But when she went out, others called her 'Mother of Mrs. Xianzun of Tianchang County'!Isn't this a clear and repeated reminder to her that everything she got was thanks to Mu Jiaojiao?

God knows, the sweet potato was brought back from Tianzhu by Mu You all the way, and he also gave it to Mu Jiaojiao!The greatest credit should belong to their Mu family!

But Mu You sneered at her thoughts, and taught her a serious lesson: "Although I brought this thing back, I only intend to give Liu Niangzi a taste, and I have no other ideas. Cultivate that small pile of things into a seedling." The seedlings come, and then expand the planting. This idea was proposed by the two of them, and it was also made by them. The first credit for this matter belongs to them! It is already very good that I can get the title of General Guide ! This is all thanks to Liu Niangzi not forgetting her roots!"

The result of not forgetting the origin is that only the saint can confer a title that can only be inherited for one generation?Although Shishilang doesn't have to worry in this life, what about Shishilang's children?Can't she ask for a hereditary title?

But Mu Yiyi and Mu Hao's siblings also seem to have taken the wrong medicine, and they actually admire Mu Jiaojiao very much.

Mu Yiyi also started reading medical books a few years ago, and determined to become the second Mu Jiaojiao.And Mu Hao treated this elder sister like a god, and mentioned this elder sister no matter where he went!
Husband, son, and daughter were all bewitched by this little goblin, and now the only one who can curse Mu Jiaojiao with her is Mu Haoya. This tragic reality cannot be accepted by Gong.

Just like now, seeing the few of them surrounded Mu Jiaojiao in the middle, chatting and laughing happily, as if they were a close and warm family, but she, the mistress of the Mu family, was excluded, Gong's heart was very sour Not a taste.

The sourness kept rolling in her throat, and she couldn't bear it anymore, so she deliberately asked: "Miss Liu, you and your husband have been married for three and a half years, right? Haven't you heard any good news until now?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's smile froze.

Mu Jiaojiao raised her head slowly: "Thank you, Aunt, for your concern, not yet."

"It's been almost four years, you have to hurry up!" Gong said pretending to be anxious, "Look at your eldest sister, she has already given birth to three. Your second sister's child is also two years old. Just Only you... Hey, although you are weak, you can't just forget your responsibilities as Cui's daughter-in-law! No matter how bad it is, it's good for both of you to adopt one, and you can't let Liu Lang The knees are empty, don't you think?"

Her real intention should be to get her to give Cui Pu a concubine as soon as possible, the more the better, or to piss her off quickly, right?

The corner of Mu Jiaojiao's lips curled up, and he glanced at Cui Pu meaningfully.

Cui Pu's face suddenly darkened: "Mother-in-law should be more concerned, but the issue of children is beyond our control. We have already discussed it as husband and wife, and everything will go with the flow. If you can have a baby, you can have it yourself. If you can't, it's okay. It depends on how we feel. At least for now, we think it’s okay just the two of us, we’re still young, so what’s wrong with playing for two more years?”

"Still playing? She's going to be twenty soon! How many girls are there at this age and don't have a son and a half around?" Gong immediately said, "Hey, I'm thinking about you too. !Even if the two of you don’t care, don’t you think about the thoughts of the elders in your family? Don’t the elders of Cui’s family care about this?”

She was right, Mr. Cui Ge and Mrs. Cui really didn't care about this matter!
On the night of New Year's Eve, when the clansmen gathered together to worship their ancestors and eat wine, someone brought up this topic, and they wanted to stuff a child for them to raise.Mrs. Cui refused this matter.

And in the past three years, no matter whether it was correspondence with the family, eating or talking with the family, no one from top to bottom mentioned this matter.Everyone knows about Mu Jiaojiao's physical condition, so they have been keenly avoiding this topic.As a result, now, the Cui family all know clearly that they should avoid talking about it so as not to irritate Mu Jiaojiao, but Gong, who has been called by Mu Jiaojiao for almost 20 years, repeatedly pokes her in the heart!

Unfortunately, Mu Jiaojiao already has it in his stomach.Otherwise, God knows how sad she would be!

And he is out of anger now!

Cui Pu got up immediately, and pulled Mu Jiaojiao up: "We appreciate the kindness of mother-in-law. I feel a little tired now. I will go to the maid's room to rest for a while. You can call us after lunch is over." !"

After finishing speaking, he yawned pretendingly, and then dragged Mu Jiaojiao away.

Gong's face turned blue and white, and she was so ashamed that she wished she could dig a hole and get in.

"This son-in-law...you see, he is so arrogant! How dare he show his face in front of my mother-in-law!"

"You ask yourself first, do you, mother-in-law, give them a good look?" Mu You said coldly, "The sixth lady and the sixth son-in-law only come back once in a few years, and they will leave tomorrow. Take time out of your busy schedule Come to bid farewell to us, which is enough to show that they value us. You are good, you have put on a face from the moment someone shows up, and you pick and pinch other people's pain when you talk, and I will show you the face! Speaking of it, The sixth son-in-law is quite polite to you, and you don't even think about how he dealt with those people outside!"

Mu Yiyi also said: "Aniang, you did this wrong."

"You..." Being attacked by her husband and children, Gong was so angry that tears came out.

At this time, the servant girl came in to report: "The second lady and the second son-in-law are back!"

"It's finally here!" Her allies are here!Immediately, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, Mrs. Gong quickly turned around and greeted her.

Over there, Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao arrived at Ruanxiangju, Cui Pu was still very angry.

Mu Jiaojiao gently stroked his hair for him: "Okay. It's not like you don't know my mother's temperament, why should you be as knowledgeable as her? Whatever she says, you just ignore it, and it will disappear if you blow it over."

"I don't want to be as knowledgeable as her, but the key is that she has a little bit of self-awareness!" Cui Pu roared, "What did she mean by that just now? It was clearly because she didn't like you, she deliberately found fault with you, and even poked at your weakness Knife! Is this what a mother should do? I have never seen a mother with such a vicious heart!"

"Didn't you see it now?"

"You... hey!" Cui Pu gritted his teeth, "Anyway, I just hate her! I originally planned to get along with her after hearing what you said last night. But after hearing what she said today, I don't want to pay attention to it anymore She's dead! If it wasn't for my father-in-law here, I wouldn't even want to come to this ghostly place again!"

"Don't worry, there won't be too many opportunities for us to come here in the future." Mu Jiaojiao said softly, and then pushed him onto the bed, "I think you were caught by my uncle these days to instill the principles of officialdom. Yes, people are getting irritable. Let me rub your head to soothe your spirit."

Cui Pu obediently closed his eyes.

After kneading him a cup of tea, Cui Pu fell asleep comfortably.

Hearing his even breathing, Mu Jiaojiao gave a shallow smile, pulled the brocade quilt to fix it for him, then got up and walked outside.

This Ruan Xiangju, she has not been back for a long time.Unexpectedly, everything inside and out remained the same as when she was married, and even the flowers and plants in the yard were pruned every day.When she stepped in just now, she almost thought that she had returned to the time when she was not out of the cabinet.

Needless to say, these must have been explained by Dad.

After all, it is also the place where she has lived for more than ten years, and every corner of this yard is filled with countless memories of her.Now that it's so easy to come back here, how can she sit still?

Taking advantage of Cui Pu's falling asleep, she came out for a walk, searching for the memories of that year.

Without the red beans, Mu Jiaojiao just walked around the yard alone, either meditating or smiling, feeling relaxed and enjoying himself.

Just unconsciously, she noticed something strange - it seemed that someone was staring at her?And that look... was very explicit, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Mu Jiaojiao turned her head immediately, and sure enough, she caught a pair of greedy eyes.

Captured alive by her, the other party was also startled.But he didn't choose to retreat, but boldly stepped forward, calling softly: "Jiaojiao."

Mu Jiaojiao had goosebumps all over his body.

She quickly took a step back: "Second brother-in-law, why are you here?"

"I knew you were here, so I wanted to take a look. Who knows, I actually let me see you!" Gu Wenhua walked up to her with a few strides, his eyes wandering boldly on her body, "Jiaojiao, Do you think this is God's arrangement?"

"Brother-in-law, you are thinking too much. But this is not the place you should come, you should go quickly!" Mu Jiaojiao coldly dropped these words, turned around and was about to go back to the room.

Unexpectedly, Gu Wenhua quickly took a step forward and grabbed her wrist.

"Jiaojiao, I've heard everything!"

"What did you hear?"

"The thing you never gave birth to... The Cui family despises you because of this, right? It's okay, they despise you, but I don't!"
