Chapter 70 The Madam Has Been Cheating Again 4
Liu Ruyan was carried into the mansion through a side gate in a small sedan chair, leaving the Xue family mother and son completely bewildered.
What's going on here?
Although Xue's mother knew that Xue Yuanzhi had brought a mistress back, she did not know that her eldest son wanted to gain merit by getting Liu Ruyan a concubine, and now Qingmo had even brought her into the mansion.
The two had no idea what had happened; Xiao Huai Ren and his son had been taken directly to the clinic and hadn't returned yet.
Qingmo arranged a courtyard for Liu Ruyan and then returned to the main courtyard.
The mother and son were completely baffled by the situation.
They sent someone to invite Qingmo, but she refused to come, so they had to send someone outside to gather information.
Good heavens, I had no idea what I was getting into until I asked around.
The son and grandson were both beaten and taken to the clinic, and were not carried back home until evening.
She didn't have time to settle scores with Qingmo right now; she was bent over by her son and grandson's bedside, tears streaming down her face.
Qingmo isn't afraid. What's the emperor compared to her? If he doesn't know what's good for him, she can just give him a puppet talisman and the whole world will be hers.
With the matter escalating to this point, it's impossible for Xue Yuanzhi to elevate Liu Ruyan to the status of a secondary wife.
The emperor wouldn't interfere in his ministers' family affairs, but if he favored a concubine over his wife and the whole capital knew about it, he would inevitably be reprimanded.
Qingmo leisurely ate the braised pork, it smelled so good, the meat was just so delicious. Then she drank a bowl of chicken soup, feeling completely satisfied. Life couldn't be more comfortable.
Xiao Taohong stood to the side, wanting to say something, but dared not. Her young mistress was a ruthless person who even slapped the young master, so she decided to keep quiet.
Within three days, Qingmo's name had spread throughout the capital. She was the wicked woman in General Xue's family, so cruel that she wouldn't even spare her own son. She was both pitiful and hateful.
Even the An family sent someone to ask her to go back, but Qingmo ignored them. Then the original owner's mother came to her door and gave her a long lecture.
Make Qingmo uphold the virtues of a wife, respect and love her husband. This time, she has also caused the An family to lose face. Make her bow her head and apologize to Xue Yuanzhi, and obediently guard her position as the mistress of the house.
After a long, rambling monologue, Qingmo had someone escort her out of the mansion. Who wanted to listen to the old woman's nagging? This angered the original owner's mother so much that she declared the An family would no longer care about her as their daughter.
Qingmo: Who cares?
If the servants are disobedient, just sell them off; she is, after all, the mistress of this household.
What? My mother-in-law wants to take back her control of the household?
She doesn't like to interfere, but if anyone disobeys, she'll just give them a beating.
If one meal isn't enough, then just quit. Killing a few servants isn't illegal.
My mother-in-law is disobedient?
Then beat her son. If the eldest son is no good, there's always the second. Reputation doesn't matter. She truly deserves the title of a wicked woman.
At this critical juncture, Xue Yuanzhi dared not divorce his wife unless Qingmo voluntarily agreed to the divorce.
A few days later, her mother-in-law sent someone to invite Qingmo. Qingmo sat there drinking tea without saying a word.
Mother Xue: "Qingmo, look at these past few days, your anger should have subsided by now, right? No matter what, you and Yuanzhi still have to live your lives together. Go apologize to him, and this matter will be over."
As expected of the cunning old woman, Xue's mother treated her with the same kindness and affection as before, as if she were thinking of Qingmo's best interests.
However, the original owner died silently in the backyard after only three years.
She didn't believe it was someone else who did it, and who it was or what the truth was didn't matter.
In any case, no one should have an easy time; she treats everyone equally.
"Mother-in-law is right, I have learned my lesson. I wonder why Aunt Liu hasn't come to pay her respects. Should I go and invite her?" She had a gentle smile on her face.
When she mentioned Liu Ruyan, Xue's mother's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
"Don't be so hard on a mere concubine. She's just a concubine, she can't escape your control as the mistress. But she's pregnant now, and the Xue family has few heirs, so it's not easy for them to have more children. Please be more understanding."
Qingmo said, "Mother-in-law is right. It's my fault for not being able to give my husband two more children. I will definitely work hard to continue the Xue family line in the future." She then smiled sweetly.
Seeing her like this, Xue's mother assumed that Qingmo had calmed down. After all, the original owner of this body used to be the most gentle and virtuous. This time, she must have been very angry to act like this. After chatting for a few minutes, she let Qingmo leave.
Qingmo swayed her slender waist and headed towards Liu Ruyan's courtyard, where Xue Yuanzhi was recuperating from his injuries.
He barged in without waiting for the servants to announce his arrival.
Liu Ruyan was restless in her own courtyard. Although she had entered the manor, she did not know what the future held.
Just then, a maidservant came to deliver a message, saying that the madam had barged in.
Liu Ruyan was feeding Xue Yuanzhi medicine; she was heavily pregnant, which must have been quite a hardship for her.
Qingmo came in and sat down by herself. She took out some melon seeds and sat there watching the two of them being affectionate, spitting the melon seed shells on the ground.
Xue Yuanzhi felt a headache coming on. "Madam An, what are you trying to do? Look at you, do you still look like the mistress of the house?"
Qingmo scoffed, "What's a mistress like? Husband, you're really funny. I just came to see Aunt Liu, and she hasn't even paid her respects to me, the mistress, in all these days? Does she not respect me at all?"
Xue Yuanzhi lay on the bed, his face turning even paler with anger. "What nonsense are you spouting? Can't you see Ruyan taking care of me? You jealous woman, you're completely unreasonable."
Qingmo: "Even if Aunt Liu can't keep her husband tied to her waistband and take care of him day and night, she doesn't even have time to pay her respects? I'm sitting here, and I haven't seen my sister come over to pay her respects."
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan slowly walked over and gently bowed to Qingmo. After all, she was heavily pregnant, and the madam wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
Ha, sister, I can only say you've chosen the wrong path. So what if she's pregnant? Qingmo is a heartless person.
"Guards, pin Aunt Liu to the ground. She doesn't know any manners. I, Madam, must teach her manners."
No one answered, and no one dared to go up. Although the lady was frightening, the General's Mansion was still under the General's control.
This Aunt Liu is clearly the general's darling, and she's pregnant too. Who would dare to touch her?
Very well, so you don't listen to us, huh? Wouldn't that make her lose face?
Seeing that no one made a move, Qingmo sneered, "What? You're not listening to me anymore? Looks like my words don't carry much weight."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Several servants hesitated, but no one stepped forward.
Liu Ruyan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she looked to Xue Yuanzhi for help.
Xue Yuanzhi roared, "An, if you dare to harm Ruyan and her child, this general will not spare you!"
Qingmo slowly walked up to Liu Ruyan, circled her once, and said, "Oh, you're scared now? Weren't you so smug just now? Now you know to beg the general?"
Qingmo didn't say much. She drew a whip from her waist, hooked it around a maid's neck, wrapped it around twice, and strangled her until she was almost breathless.
"Now, I ask you, do you dare to teach Aunt Liu manners?"
The maid couldn't nod or speak, she could only blink frantically to show that she was obedient. Qingmo let go of her, then looked around at everyone, her eyes landing on Xiao Taohong.
Xiao Taohong was startled and rushed forward, slapping Liu Ruyan twice.
She felt that if she didn't act soon, the young lady would be the next to strangle her; her life was more important.
