"It's not that I'm unkind, but my mother should stay away from the Li family." Xiao Yunwu's expression tightened and his tone was unhappy, "Li Xuan is a brainless person. Even if he is released this time, my mother can guarantee that he will not get into trouble in the future.
Right? Now that the imperial concubine and the prince are gaining power, we should strike while the iron is hot and let my father do a good job for the prince, instead of letting these brainless fools come out to cause trouble."
Mrs. Xiao looked at her, her expression turned cold a little, and she could hardly believe that these words came out of her mouth.
Brainless idiot?
Is this what she said about her cousin?
Even if Li Xuan is impulsive and has no brains, he is still her nephew. How can he allow his cousin to abuse and slander him like this?
Mrs. Xiao was originally dissatisfied with Yun Zishu's behavior of taking away the dowry, but at this time, she only had a cold heart - a cold heart for her husband and a cold heart for her daughter.
She has been running the family for more than 20 years and thinks she is devoted to the Xiao family. Xiao Yuanting is devoted to the military camp and she takes care of all the trivial matters at home. Over the years, she has personally raised a pair of children, but in the end her husband accused her of marrying her.
She has been in trouble for eight lifetimes, and now even her daughter is criticizing her behavior.
Mrs. Xiao couldn't bear it.
She looked at Xiao Yunwu quietly, her eyes full of disappointment: "You have already married to the eldest princess's house, and you will be a member of the Xu family from now on. You don't have to interfere in the affairs of the Xiao family."
Xiao Yunwu was surprised: "Mother?"
Mrs. Xiao suddenly felt tired. She turned around and walked into the door. She no longer watched the guards of the ninth princess carrying the dowry onto the carriage. She just wanted to find a place to be alone and quiet.
These days, she was exhausted both mentally and physically.
Something happened to her nephew, her son was injured, the Xiao family became the laughingstock of the whole city, and even her daughter was no longer considerate. Mrs. Xiao suddenly felt that everything she had done for the Xiao family over the years had been fed to the dogs.
"Mother." Xiao Yunwu chased after him and explained hurriedly, "My daughter said this all because of the Xiao family. My mother had always doted on Li Xue and allowed her to do all sorts of things in the Xiao family, which led to the eldest brother favoring his concubine. Otherwise, how could Yun have happened?"
Regarding Zishu’s divorce? My mother is still—”
"Shut up!" Mrs. Xiao's voice suddenly turned cold, "I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"
Xiao Yunwu looked slightly stiff: "Mother?"
"If you came here today just to teach me a lesson, then you can go back now." Mrs. Xiao took a deep breath, not wanting to lose her composure in front of the servants, but her tone was extremely indifferent, "Xiao Yunwu, my behavior is not my fault.
You be the judge.”
Xiao Yunwu bit her lip: "Looking at the overall situation, my mother favored Li Xue too much, causing Li Xue to have no sense of dignity. If she hadn't deliberately framed Yun Zishu, none of this would have happened——
Yun Zishu will not divorce her husband, and the Xiao family will not become the laughing stock of the major families in the imperial city. The mother does not have to be so anxious. She does not have to face her son being beaten and injured, and her nephew being taken to the Shadow Pavilion for punishment. With so many things happening, her mother is here
Don’t you know how to reflect on yourself now?”
"Get out! Get out!" Mrs. Xiao pointed at the door and roared angrily, "Go back to your eldest princess's mansion!"
Xiao Yunwu looked at her without saying a word. Mrs. Xiao's expression was serious, and she was obviously very angry.
Xiao Yunwu turned around and walked out.
At this time, Yun Zishu was still in the carriage. The guards had carried the dowry properly and were doing the final counting of the dowry list.
Xiao Yunwu walked to the carriage, opened the curtain, and looked at Yun Zishu coldly: "Your Highness, the Ninth Princess, mobilized an army to take back her dowry today. Are you really going to break up with the Xiao family?"
Yun Zishu was sitting in the carriage reading a book. She didn't even raise her head when she heard this, and said calmly: "The breakup happened some time ago. The dowry is something I should get back. I just happen to be free today."
Xiao Yunwu looked at her in silence for a long time, and then said coldly: "Breaking with the Xiao family will not do any good to the Ninth Princess."
Yun Zishu said: "It won't do any harm."
"If I can let my eldest brother divorce Li Xue, are you willing to change your mind?" Xiao Yunwu always believed that Li Xue was the culprit, and Yun Zishu just didn't know what to do and went out of her way. "Li Xue is a scheming woman.
With her here, the Xiao family's inner house will really not be peaceful. As long as you are willing to return to the Xiao family and promise to get back together with your eldest brother, I promise to persuade your eldest brother to divorce Li Xue and never let her step into the Xiao family's door again."
Yun Zishu's eyes fell on the book in her hand. After a while, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Yunwu subtly: "Why do you all think wishfully that I am so willing to take Li Xue seriously?"
Xiao Yunwu's expression darkened: "What did you say?"
Yun Zishu didn't bother to talk to her anymore, she stretched out her hand to lower the car curtain and said lightly: "Go back home."
Leng Shuang stayed to direct the transfer of the dowry, while Leng Yue sat in front of the carriage, holding the reins and swung: "Drive!"
The carriage started to move faster and faster, ruthlessly leaving Xiao Yunwu behind.
Xiao Yunwu clenched her hands and stared fiercely at the departing carriage. She suddenly regretted that she hadn't forcefully brought Yun Zishu into the Xiao family's house - as long as she was trapped in the Xiao family's house, she would still be able to escape.
go.
It's a pity it's a step too late.
…
The carriage quickly arrived outside the gate of the princess's mansion. As soon as Yun Zishu got off the carriage, someone rushed over and knelt down with a plop: "Your Highness the Princess!"
Yun Zishu took a step back, her eyes slightly cold, and raised her head to look around. The guards were shocked when they saw this, and they quickly picked up Li Xue who was kneeling on the ground and dragged her back to the house.
"Your Highness Princess, please give Brother Heng a way to live." Li Xue struggled and cried, her voice pitiful and pitiful, "Brother Heng is your husband after all, how can you be so cruel? Even if he commits a crime
He made a huge mistake, and your Highness the Princess should give him a chance to repent and make amends, Your Highness the Princess!"
Yun Zishu frowned slightly: "Leng Yue."
"exist."
"Do you think I am cruel to Xiao Yunheng?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, compared to what the Xiao family did to you, what Your Highness the Princess did is nothing." Leng Yue said, "The Princess repaid evil with kindness. She gave Xiao Yunheng food and drink, and asked the doctor to give him medicine every day. She did not take advantage of the opportunity.
It is truly a bodhisattva's heart to let him get more injured. Li Xue dares to accuse His Highness without knowing what is good. She is simply ungrateful and slaps her in the face. Your Highness does not need to pay attention to her."
Yun Zishu raised her lips slightly and stepped through the door: "I still like to hear what you have to say."
"That's right." Leng Yue raised her brows, "The Xiao family has done bad things and never thought of reflecting on it. Now they are screaming non-stop after suffering such a little grievance. Those who don't know really think that the princess has abused them."
"Your Highness Princess!" Li Xue was forcibly pulled away and unable to resist, she shouted hoarsely, "Brother Heng is your husband, you can't do this to him!"
Leng Yue waved her hand and signaled the guards to take Li Xue down quickly and not to stay here and disturb the princess.
Yun Zishu thought she heard a wolf howl once, turned around and walked towards Qifeng Hall.
