My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

Fu's heart slowly calmed down. How could she dare to say anything?

Doctor Xu is not stupid. He has been in and out of the rear quarters of high-ranking officials for many years. He can understand the elegant meaning of the music just by listening to it. There are some things that do not need to be said by the person involved. He only needs to look at the atmosphere and expression. What is there that he doesn't know?

Even though he understands, he won't say anything nonsense.

But he knew that Lord Shao had a bad temper, and he was afraid that if something went wrong with his wife, she would be angry with him. It was said that Lord Shao valued his wife very much.

Doctor Xu deliberately made Lin Yulan's condition sound more serious in front of Mrs. Fu, and repeatedly reminded the Shao family not to let Madam Hou's mood fluctuate, and to rest calmly. "Otherwise, if she gets a headache again, who knows what the consequences will be. It might be a disaster."

He has already reminded her here. If anything really happens to the Marquis's wife again, it has nothing to do with him, so don't blame him.

Shao Xun agreed repeatedly with a serious expression and glared at Fu in annoyance. Fu was sweating and dared not say a word: How could she know that Lin's condition was so serious?

Thinking that he was an elder, even if Shao Xun was a marquis, shouldn't he respect his elders? Doctor Xu hadn't left yet, and he had this attitude towards his elder in front of outsiders. It was really hateful, and he couldn't help but secretly hate it.

Nanny Qi sent Doctor Xu out, and Shao Xun helped Lin Yulan lie down carefully. Lin Yulan cooperated very well. She looked at him weakly with half-closed eyes, relaxed her body without exerting any strength, and leaned her whole body on his arms and palms, allowing him to hold her in his arms and gently put her down.

Their eyes met, Shao Xun blinked at her quickly, a faint smile on his thin lips. Lin Yulan quickly closed her eyes and almost laughed.

After settling her down and telling Xiao Qu to serve her well, Shao Xun turned to face Fu Shi with a bad expression on his face. He said in a sarcastic tone, "Doctor Xu has left. Don't worry, we won't say anything in front of outsiders. Are you still not leaving? My wife needs to rest. Did you hear what Doctor Xu said?"

Fu's eyelids twitched fiercely. Without outsiders around, she couldn't help but put on her elder airs again, "I don't know how you are going to say this in front of the old lady! Humph!"

"Don't worry about this, Auntie."

Shao Xun asked Fu to leave, called An Xueming who was waiting in the hall outside, and went straight to Yanshou Hall.

When Fu saw this, she subconsciously hurried to follow.

Not long after she walked, her pace slowly slowed down and she stopped.

With Shao Xun's bad temper, who knows how angry he would make the old lady if he disagrees with her. Otherwise, it would be better for me not to go there now. Otherwise, if I run into him, wouldn't it be unfair for me to become the old lady's punching bag?

In Yanshou Hall, Old Madam Shao was waiting for news from Mrs. Fu and was getting a little impatient.

Shao Xun and An Xueming suddenly barged in. Old Madam Shao frowned in disgust: "Why are you here?"

"Is the old lady waiting for Second Aunt?" Shao Xun smiled, "Then don't wait. Second Aunt must be afraid of being scolded, so she probably won't come now."

"you--"

These words made Mrs. Shao very angry.

After a little thought, his face became even uglier: This shows that Fu didn't get the job done!

"Shao Xun!" Madam Shao was a little angry and said, "What on earth do you want to do? Do you want to kill everyone in the mansion? The Deng family is the Yue family of the Eastern Palace. What do you, a mere Marquis of Wuwei, count for in their eyes? You really don't know your place."

Shao Xun's eyes fell on two large gift boxes that were opened on the table nearby.

The two gift boxes had been opened, and next to them lay a pair of white jade bottles, a jadeite statue of Guanyin, and a crystal gourd bottle.

Madam Shao was furious at being seen through. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Shao Xun sneer, "Is this a generous gift from the Deng family? Just for these few things, Madam would rather give up the dignity of the Marquisate and swallow her anger in silence?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Madam Shao had never been so embarrassed, especially in front of An Xueming, a member of the An family. "These are indeed things sent by the Deng family. I saw that they are all valuables, which shows that the Deng family is sincerely seeking peace. I was just about to send someone to deliver the things to Chunhui Garden. It's just right that you are here, so take them all away. You accept the things, and this matter will be over."

Although Madam Shao was not as money-obsessed as Mrs. Fu, who didn't love money? She had to give away these precious items before she could even warm up to them, and she felt extremely sad.

The gifts that the Deng family sent to seek reconciliation were given to the victims, Lin and An Xiaoqi, not to her.

Even though she was the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion, she was nothing in the eyes of the Deng family. The Deng family never thought of pleasing her or flattering her. On the contrary, in order to allow her biological son to have more help and more people to speak well of her when he inherits the title in the future, she had to rush to please the Deng family.

She knew Shao Xun's temper very well. Since these gifts had been seen by Shao Xun, there was no way she could accept them.

Old Madam Shao regretted deeply: if she had known that this evil creature would come at this moment, she should have asked Nanny Tang and the others to put the things away quickly.

Shao Xun was unmoved by the rare treasures.

Not only Shao Xun, but also the passionate An Xueming felt humiliated and could not stand this tone: "Madam, we can't accept these things! The Deng family is too much of a bully, and they dare to humiliate people with these dead things. Who are they looking down on? My cousin's wife and my sister's lives are not so cheap! My cousin and our An family are not spineless people who forget their loyalty when they see money!"

Mrs. Shao's face suddenly felt hot, and she felt angry and embarrassed.

An Xueming said these words seriously and had no intention of mocking Yin Yang, but the more he said this, the more embarrassed she felt.

"Xue Ming is right," Shao Xun sneered, "Old Madam, return these things. Reconciliation? The Deng family is dreaming! I will never let them go so easily, not even if they bring the matter to the emperor!"

"You really don't know your place!"

"Humph, I am ignorant of the immensity of the world, but I also know that our Shao family cannot be spineless."

Shao Xun had never been so disappointed with them as he was at that moment.

If these things are accepted today, the reputation of the Wuwei Marquisate will plummet, and everyone will laugh at them behind their backs as cowards and losers. The wife of the marquis was thrown off the carriage and almost lost her life, and yet they are willing to give up just because of a few gifts.

They only thought about currying favor with the Deng family so that they would owe them a favor and help them obtain the title in the future, but they didn't even have the most basic etiquette, integrity and moral integrity.

Do they think they are worthy of the title?

I would rather give up this title than give it to them, so as not to tarnish the reputation of our ancestors.

Shao Xun gave this cheap grandmother a deep look and said, "Grandma, you know I can do it."
