Marriage Princess: The Alluring Concubine of the Evil Emperor

Chapter 60 Fire in the Backyard
Seeing this, Yuan Su couldn't help but sadly said: "Mother, you are making your son bear the name of being unfilial."

The old lady said sternly: "Your ancestors know whether you are filial or not. I dare not say that you are not filial. Who are we? Don't we have to rely on your general and wife to reward us for food? That's right. , old man, let's go, and see Mrs.

"Let's go!" The old general had already stood up and walked to the door, and turned around to hold the old lady.

"Don't, don't!" Yuan Su hurriedly got up to stop him, and said anxiously.

"Don't touch me, if you touch me, I'll lie down and show you." The old lady threatened with an angry shout.

Yuan Su was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hands, knowing that his mother was a person who would do what she said, and this kind of pungent temperament did not change when she was old, but became worse.

"Can you stop making trouble? I'll go back and ask her to come over and say hello to you." Yuan Su could only say.

"No," the old lady was a stubborn person, and she said she would do it. "Where is the reason for the mistress to greet the old slave?"

As he said that, he pulled the old general and walked out of the door in a hurry.

Yuan Su stomped his feet and said bitterly: "Mother, why are you embarrassing your son? This is not to make your son... hey!" He hastily chased after him.

After Qiuju left, Li Xiangyu got up, and ordered Chanjuan to get some iced courgettes, and sat in the gazebo in the yard to enjoy the wind.

In this hot weather, it is not safe to sleep.

"Where's the young master?" Li Xiangyu couldn't help asking, remembering that he hadn't seen Yuan Xuan all day.

"Master is playing by the lake, accompanied by Big Fatty and Nanny." Chanjuan said.

"Be careful, lest you fall into the lake and die." Li Xiangyu said viciously.

Chanjuan was taken aback, although Li Xiangyu sometimes showed such an expression and vicious tone during this time, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Yes!" Chanjuan could only say.

As soon as Chanjuan walked to the door, she saw the old general and the old lady coming, and hurriedly saluted, "Old general, old lady, why are you here?"

"Where's Madam?" the old lady asked lightly.

Li Xiangyu had already heard the movement, stood up, and wiped her hands on her back. The vicissitudes of life in her youth had made her develop many bad habits, for example, just wiping her hands on her clothes like this.

Her yellow satin dress was dyed the bright red of courgettes, and it looked like it was showing when menstruation came.

"Hey, are mom and dad here?" She went up to meet her and said with a smile.

The old lady stepped forward and bowed to salute, "This old slave pays homage to his wife!"

Li Xiangyu's expression froze, "What is mother doing?" She looked behind the two of them, and Yuan Su had already arrived, and he was gesturing to Li Xiangyu.

The old lady glanced at the frozen courgettes on the table in the gazebo, and smiled coldly, "Oh, Madam eats courgettes, doesn't it mean that you feel unwell? If you eat such cold things, won't you be afraid of bad stomach?"

Li Xiangyu recalled the evasion just now, saying that he was not feeling well, who would have thought that they would come over in person?He couldn't help but blushed, and said in embarrassment: "Hey, I feel better now, and the weather is hot, so I eat a few pieces of courgette to drive away the heat."

The old lady looked at the bright red pieces of courgettes, she had already eaten several pieces in a row, and it was a waste of food, she threw away half of it, feeling very angry in her heart, courgettes were just introduced not long ago, and they are still rare in Daliang country In the past, whenever there was something new or delicious, Qinghe always delivered it to the old couple in person first, but this year, they didn't even eat a bite of courgette.

The old general seldom spoke, but seeing his wife's expression, he knew that she was very angry, so he took a puff of his cigarette and said indifferently: "We came here to tell you that our old couple is going out to live in the general's mansion Build a thatched hut next to it, and it will not hinder your young people from living."

Li Xiangyu was taken aback, "Go out and live in a thatched hut? It's impossible."

After hearing this, the old lady said coldly in her heart, it's only because you know that we can't live outside.

But before he could say this, Li Xiangyu said again: "Isn't our family in a different courtyard in the western suburbs? If the two old people want to go out to live, why not go to another courtyard?"

The old lady was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and said coldly: "The other courtyard belongs to Qinghe, how can we live there without Qinghe's permission? It's better not to bother, just build a hut next to the general's mansion, enough for us It’s enough for the old couple to live together.”

Li Xiangyu smiled and said: "Then the other courtyard is my sister's dowry. Since it is a dowry, it is naturally the property of the Yuan Mansion. Why don't you two live there?"

The old lady was so angry that her breath was held in her chest, and she couldn't say a word for a long time. Finally, she said forcefully, "We are not so shameless, the dowry is ours? No wonder you put all her jewelry on In... No, no!"

The old lady stepped forward slowly, staring at her full of jewels, "Qinghe's dowry, doesn't it mean that part of it will be given to Xuan'er to marry a wife in the future, and the rest will be buried with you? How did you get it?"

Yuan Su's expression changed, "This, mother, this was given to Xiangyu by Qinghe before his death."

"Take it off!" the old lady snapped.

Li Xiangyu said reluctantly: "Mother, this was given to me by my sister before she was alive. I didn't steal it from her. Why did I take it down?"

The old lady said angrily: "She gave it to you? After she died, I checked her jewelry box and found out what was in it. What you are wearing is her dowry. How can you give away the dowry at will? If you want to give it away, it is also for you to buy later, she respects the Princess of the County very much, and will never give you the dowry that the Princess of the County gave her."

The old general also learned from the old lady's poisonous tongue, "People can be greedy, but they can't be shameless."

Li Xiangyu was about to cry, she looked at Yuan Su as if asking for help, Yuan Su stepped forward bravely, "Mother, this is really given to her by Qinghe, let her take it off, firstly, to wipe Xiangyu's face, secondly, , and went against Qinghe's kindness."

"Shut up!" The old lady was trembling with anger, "How dare you talk nonsense? Princess Changchun fell in love with one of her bracelets, and she told Princess Changchun that the bracelet was a dowry gift from the princess of the county, so she couldn't give it to her. Later, she ordered someone to make a pair of more exquisite and precious jadeite bracelets and sent them to the palace, and even Princess Changchun asked her to ask for it, but she didn't give it to her, so how could she give it to you?"

Li Xiangyu said stubbornly: "I don't know about that. Anyway, I didn't steal these things, but she gave them to me. Since they are gifts from my sister, I must not return them for no reason. I went against my sister's good intentions."

After a pause, she said indifferently: "Besides, how could my sister be mean to me? She could even give it to my husband before he died. Would she care about such a little jewelry?"

When she said this, Yuan Su's eyebrows twitched a few times. He looked at Li Xiangyu and saw that there was nothing wrong with her arrogant expression. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. How could she speak so grandly?
