My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?
Chapter 86 Isn't it just showing filial piety?
Lin Yulan looked at him with a particularly sincere and filial look: "I thought that after returning, I should at least comfort the old lady so that I can feel at ease. Otherwise, I won't be able to rest well, so I came here."
Shao Xun smiled and praised: "Madam is so filial, the old lady must be very touched! Now Madam can finally rest in peace."
Lin Yulan nodded: "That's right, I can finally rest assured."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
They know each other well.
If Lin Yulan hadn't come here today "sickly" and helped Shao Xun practice Tai Chi openly and secretly without making a sound, relying on her illness and the fact that she was the granddaughter-in-law and the old ladies couldn't lose face, and she also used the emperor's order everywhere to make her case, I'm afraid Shao Xun wouldn't have gotten away with it so easily.
They deliberately wanted to force Shao Xun to lose his temper so that they could label him as "disobedient and unfilial" and "disrespectful to elders". No matter how much Shao Xun restrained himself, he would eventually break down.
Besides, Shao Xun’s temper was not good to begin with.
Lin Yulan thought of this, so she hurried over.
Shao Xun felt both sad and touched. His own family was like that, but his wife always protected him. Although they were now like grasshoppers on the same vine, rising and falling together, she actually had many legitimate excuses to escape.
"Madam, can you still walk? Do you want me to carry you?"
Lin Yulan's face was slightly hot, and she shook her head: "No, no need..."
Although she pretended to be sick a little too much in front of Madam Shao and the others, she was not so weak.
Shao Xun smiled and said, "Madam is ill after all, so you should be careful. Let's rest here for a while. I'll ask someone to prepare a sedan chair."
"Well, thank you, sir."
Since you are pretending to be sick, it’s okay to pretend thoroughly.
Shao Xun told Xiao Qu to bring the sedan chair, while he accompanied Lin Yulan to rest and wait on the nearby corridor.
Someone soon reported the noise to Old Madam Shao. Master Shao heard it and sneered angrily: "Look at this, mother! Look at how pretentious she is. Who is she doing this for? She is deliberately acting like this to disgust us! She is sick, so what? No one forced her to come here to pay her respects. What's the point of this!"
Madam Shao and Mrs. Fu were also very angry about what Lin Yulan and Shao Xun did.
But I can't blame anyone.
Now everyone in the mansion knew that the Marquis's wife was willing to pay her respects to the old lady despite her illness. How filial!
Madam Shao rebuked Mr. Shao: "You are already an adult, why are you still so impulsive in your words and deeds? You should think long-term about everything. As an elder, how can you be so unstable? You were a little too impulsive in front of Ah Xun and his wife."
Master Shao became even more annoyed and complained, "Mother, you know I'm not a child anymore, but the title is still nowhere to be found. How can I not be anxious? If you weren't soft-hearted, you should have taken the title from that kid when he was still young. Now, that kid is so unscrupulous and slippery that it's not easy to find a big mistake with him. Now that he has caught the emperor's eye and has been assigned a job by the emperor, it's even harder to touch him!"
"The worst thing to do is to get married to the Lin family! Look at the good wife you married him. She has no manners or upbringing at all. Having that boy was not enough, and now there is another one. It really makes me angry to death."
Madam Shao and Mrs. Fu both choked, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law subconsciously looked at each other, becoming even more upset.
At first, they thought that the concubine of the Lin family who married into the family was stupid and easy to control, and they were waiting to see her and Shao Xun make a big fuss so that they could benefit from it.
Who would have thought?
Even without Mr. Shao telling them, they had already regretted it.
But what's the use of regretting?
Madam Shao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when her son mocked her in person: "Shut up! Second brother, you are getting more and more outspoken. We are just getting to the point, why are you so anxious? You are really worse than this kid."
After hearing this, Master Shao was even more furious and jealous. He smiled coldly, "What my mother taught me is that I am not as good as that kid! The reason I am the worst than that kid is that I don't have a mother who can plan for me! That's why I am neither good nor bad and have accomplished nothing!"
"you!"
Madam Shao was so angry that her eyes went dark. Her heart seemed to be stabbed with a knife. She said in a trembling voice, "Second Brother, how can you live up to your conscience!"
As soon as he said this, Mr. Shao regretted it in his heart. Seeing this, he was even more annoyed and stood up hurriedly, "Mom, I, I didn't mean that, I just--"
"You go out, I'm a little tired, go ahead."
"Mom, I——"
"Go! You and your wife go back first, we can talk about it later."
Mr. Shao's guilt and annoyance came and went quickly. He cursed in his heart, replied "yes", glanced at Fu, and the two of them bowed and left together.
Fu was afraid of her mother-in-law's anger and wanted to leave quickly.
After leaving here, Master Shao couldn't help but save his dignity and complained to Mrs. Fu: "Is what Master said wrong? Humph, Mother has changed and softened her heart. Yes, even if that boy is the Marquis, she is still an old lady in glory, how can she still remember me, her biological son!"
Speaking of which, Fu also had some complaints in her heart, "Who said it wasn't true? If we had dealt with the person earlier, wouldn't there be nothing wrong? Isn't it because the old lady is soft-hearted..."
At that time, Shao Xun's parents had just passed away. Shao Xun was not only young, but also in very poor condition. If he had some "accident" at that time and died, wouldn't it be natural?
Even if someone has suspicions, what can they do without evidence?
Besides, which outsider would care about other people’s affairs?
I shouldn't have kept him in the first place!
Mr. Shao snorted and became more dissatisfied with his mother.
He was so angry that he couldn't let it go. He glanced at Fu coldly and said, "You are useless too. You go to the summer banquet every year, but you don't get anything. How come Lin got a reward from the empresses the first time she went back? She even got to see the emperor. How can you be the second aunt? You don't even bring her by your side to discipline her properly!"
Fu: “…”
Fu felt aggrieved.
She murmured to herself, you got drunk and made a fool of yourself last year, and you don’t have the courage to go this year.
But she didn't dare to say it.
She had no choice but to lower her head and listen to the lecture in silence.
Lin Yulan took a sedan chair and Shao Xun accompanied her back to Chunhui Garden. After a while, Mrs. Shao sent Nanny Tang to deliver a pound of top-quality bird's nests and some blood-replenishing wolfberries, gray dates, and angelica, saying that they were for Lin Yulan to take good care of her health.
"My Lord, please take good care of the Marquis' wife. You don't have to come over to pay respects these days. The old lady knows how filial you are. Just take care of her. We are family, so you don't have to show respect to her. Otherwise, if her condition gets worse, the old lady will feel bad!"
In order to fulfill their filial duty, the younger generation goes to pay respects despite their illness. Isn't this a disguised way of saying that the elders are mean?
