Chapter 26 The Helplessness of Mrs. Zhen Guogong
Although she didn't know why her mother suddenly became so angry, Xie Beiqi still obediently and knelt in front of her as Zhu's request.
"Criminal, where are you coming back?"
Zhu glanced at his son kneeling on the ground, and snorted coldly, and the dissatisfaction in his tone was almost bursting out.
Xie Beiqi did not dare to be careless and answered honestly, "My son just went to Lianfo Temple."
"This is not the New Year or the Festival, what are you doing at Lianfo Temple?"
Zhu suppressed the anger in his heart. Looking at Xie Beichen kneeling on the ground, he still looked like he didn't know where he was wrong, which was really heartbreaking.
"My birthday, the old lady of Ning'anbo Mansion is currently doing a prayer ritual in Lianfo Temple. My son, as usual, went to give the old lady an incense stick."
Xie Beiqi answered very quickly.
After all, there is nothing to hide about this matter. He has to go through almost every year, not a day or two. Almost everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion knows his habit.
But this time, Zhu's attitude changed significantly. He directly picked up the teacup he had just taken a sip and smashed it at Xie Beiqi without hesitation.
"Convention? What convention? Where did convention come from?"
Zhu was really furious.
She stood up, raised her hand and pointed at Xie Beiqi and said bluntly: "What kind of incense do you need to burn in the old lady of Ning'an Bo Mansion?
What is your relationship with Ning'anbo Mansion?
If Brother Jiu came over, it would be fine.
After all, he and his cousin from Ning'an Bo Mansion are about to get married, so it is natural that his future cousin came to see him.
But what about you, why are you joining in the fun?
How many times did my mother tell you that she would be far away from Ning'an Bo's Mansion and get involved in the affairs of their mansion if you have nothing to do!
But what about you, have you heard a little bit of it?"
Zhu was really tired. After scolding Xie Beiqi, she took a deep breath and sat back in her seat after Madam Liu persuaded her, but that tone still did not completely disappear.
"You, my mother and son, just start talking completely."
Zhu raised her hand to support her forehead with some fatigue and sat down at the table. She looked at Xie Beiqi weakly, her face full of helplessness and pain.
"I just want to ask you, do you really want to marry Lin Wan'er from Ning'an Bo Mansion?"
Speaking of this, Zhu couldn't help but pause slightly before continuing: "You don't have to worry about your grandmother and your father's thoughts.
Mother will just ask you one thing now, based on what you think and wish, do you really want to marry her?"
Zhu also knew that he would continue to point at Xie Beiqi's nose and curse. If he didn't speak clearly, he would be just a vent at best.
In her son's eyes, it was just an unreasonable quarrel from her.
As a mother, she certainly hopes that her son can marry the best woman in the world in the future, and from then on, the husband and wife will follow each other, and the piano and zither will be together and spend their lives together.
But, this is just her idea after all.
She knew that Lin Wan'er was not a kind person, but her son felt that it was good. Even if she insisted on opposing it, it would be meaningless.
If the trouble is not good, it will make people take advantage of the loopholes and alienate the relationship between them, mother and son.
So today she happened to have this opportunity, so she simply stopped hesitating and just explained the matter clearly!
I also save myself from continuing to struggle in the future and everyone is unhappy.
"My mother, son and the eldest daughter of Ning'an Bo Mansion were decided by her grandfather.
So many years have passed, and almost everyone in the capital knows the engagement between our two mansions because the old man saved his grandfather on the battlefield.
Now that I have come back to my mind, I want to deny this engagement, I am afraid it will damage morality, and it will be too unpleasant to spread it."
Xie Beiqi has always known that his mother does not like Lin Wan'er.
Although he didn't know the specific reason, he didn't ask much about it.
After all, this is his mother's preference, and he can't interfere with his mother's ideas.
But if you don’t like it, there are some things you still have to take into account.
"My son knows that you have never liked the big girls in Ning'an Bo Mansion, but you also know that the reason why Ning'an Bo Mansion has gone downhill these years is because the old man from Ning'an Bo Mansion died early.
so……"
"Enough! You want to say that the reason why my mother opposed your marriage was because she despised the poor and loved the rich. Because Ning'an Bo Mansion has now declined, she looked down on their family. She wanted to break the bridge and betray her faith?"
Zhu has never regretted it like he is now in his life.
She shouldn't have mentioned this just now, and she shouldn't have imagined that there would be a mother-son relationship between her and Xie Beiqi.
This is not a heart-to-heart talk, it is clearly an anxiety!
Zhu knew very well that her attitude towards Lin Wan'er and her opposition to Xie Beiqi's marriage would make Xie Beiqi not have a good impression of her.
But what she never expected was that in the eyes of her son who was always safeguarding and caring about, she, a mother, was so unbearable!
Unprecedented disappointment and pain swept through, making Zhu feel unprecedentedly tired.
She raised her hand, waved her weakly, and signaled Xie Beiqi to retreat.
"Forget it, you go down.
Starting today, your mother will no longer ask about your marriage. But marrying Lin is your own choice. Mother hopes that you will not regret it in the future!”
"Mother, it's the son who made a mistake. Please calm down your anger."
Seeing Zhu like this, Xie Beiqi dared not leave. He hurriedly walked forward and approached Zhu, and looked up slightly at his mother with a look of shame: "My grandma, my son knows that you are considering it for your son.
However, as the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, his son also has the responsibility he has to bear.
So if Lin did not make any unforgivable mistakes, his son would definitely marry her."
To be honest, he actually couldn't say that he liked Lin Wan'er.
But after so many years of getting along, she has always been gentle and generous, and has a moderate approach. If she gets married, she can get along well.
It's what my mother said about her...
"My mother can tell you directly now that the reason why she disagrees with your marriage with Lin is not because she looks down on her background, but because her mother looks down on her character!" Zhu lowered her head and looked at her son kneeling in front of her with regret. Men's eyes are often blind sometimes.
"And, the engagement you always say is actually not her who should marry you as a wife, Lin Wan'er, but the cousin of Ning'an Bo's Mansion who is about to marry your ninth brother!"
