I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

According to the rules, Lin Xinrou, a concubine, cannot call Madam Xie mother.

However, there was no accusatory voice from Madam Xie in the main room. Instead, she said gently, "Xinrou, I'm sorry for spending money on you."

"Mother, what are you talking about? Since I'm with Shaohang, even if I didn't call you mother before, I already regard you as mother in my heart. Since it's something for my mother, how can it be said to be a waste?"

"I feel relieved if you think this way."

"Mother, to be honest, I was ignorant at first. I had some unpleasantness with you and the young lady. As for the young lady, please say a few good words for me."

"Xinrou, you are too polite. Chunya is Shaohang's sister, and she is your sister. If she does anything wrong in the future, just tell her."

……

Listening to the heated conversation between the two, Cui Shuyan guessed that the Lin family must have suffered a loss.

Otherwise, Mrs. Xie, such a snob, wouldn't be like this.

Thinking of this, Cui Shuyan coughed lightly: "Mother."

Then she stepped inside.

When she suddenly saw her, Lin Xinrou looked a little unnatural.

Cui Shuyan didn't look at her, but only bowed to Madam Xie: "Daughter-in-law greets mother."

"Shuyan is here, please sit down."

As she spoke, Madam Xie pointed to the seat next to her.

Cui Shuyan smiled and sat down directly.

It was also at this time that she noticed that there was a fine mutton-fat jade bracelet on Madam Xie's wrist.

Just looking at the quality of this bracelet, it would cost at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.

On the side, Lin Xinrou saw this scene and gritted her teeth in hatred.

For her brother and for her, this time their family directly gave one million taels of silver to Madam Xie. But even so, she had just served diligently and tried her best to please her, but she only got a few bland words from Madam Xie.

From beginning to end, Mrs. Xie did not let her sit down.

Without making a sound, Cui Shuyan took in Lin Xinrou's entire expression.

I'm afraid Lin Xinrou doesn't know that in the past, Madam Xie would never invite her to sit down so warmly. What happened today was actually to provoke Lin Xinrou.

He also wanted to let Lin Xinrou understand that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the Xie family, it was not enough to just take out the things she had now.

You know, some dogs can never be fed enough.

Once its appetite is enlarged, once it cannot get what it once got, it will turn around and bite the person who fed it.

It’s a pity that Lin Xinrou doesn’t understand this truth.

Now that she had received some nice words from Madam Xie, she must have been very happy.

"Shuyan, why are you here now? Is there something wrong?"

Cui Shuyan didn't answer directly, but just glanced at Lin Xinrou.

Madam Xie immediately understood, looked at Lin Xinrou and said, "Xinrou, you go back first."

Lin Xinrou smiled and replied, "Yes."

After saying that, Lin Xinrou ducked and walked out.

After she left, Cui Shuyan said with difficulty: "Mother, your daughter-in-law has an unreasonable request."

"It's okay, Shuyan, just say it."

"Mother, if someone comes from my mother's family recently, could you please stop them?"

"Oh? Did your family send someone to look for you?"

"Yes." Cui Shuyan bit her lower lip and said, "You also know that I have offended Madam Cui, and she will not let me go. It's just that my husband has recently written a few articles, and I haven't shown them to Mr. Kong. I dare not delay this matter, so I haven't returned to my parents' home. After showing these articles to Mr. Kong, I will go back to the Cui Mansion. At that time, whether to kill or cut, I will leave it to you."

Madam Xie took Cui Shuyan's hand and said softly, "Shuyan, what are you talking about? Your mother is the most tolerant person. She is just angry now, but she will calm down in a few days."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. I've known her for many years and we have a close relationship. How could I not know what kind of person she is?"

"That would be the best." After saying that, Cui Shuyan stood up and said, "Mother, my husband's article has been written. I plan to take it to visit Mr. Kong tomorrow. So I have to prepare a lot. I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, okay, go quickly."

Now, in the whole mansion, there is nothing more important than Xie Shaohang's participation in the imperial examination.

When he returned to his yard, Xie Xingyuan had already left.

Cui Shuyan called Qiaoya to her side and said softly, "Qiaoya, I will make you suffer a little from now on, but it won't last too long. Are you willing?"

"Yes, I do!"

Cui Shuyan held Qiaoya's hand, feeling a little complicated.

She originally wanted to join the game herself, but based on the trajectory of her previous life, Ze'er might already be in her belly by now.

Medical books clearly state that the first few months of a woman's pregnancy are the most critical and no mistakes can be made.

So, she couldn't take any risks.

I can only settle for the second best and let Qiaoya bear it.

However, Qiaoya was someone close to her after all, and she felt bad about letting Qiaoya take risks.

As if she could see what Cui Shuyan was thinking, Qiaoya advised: "Sister Shuyan, I'm strong, it's okay."

Cui Shuyan hugged Qiaoya and said nothing more.

Not long after dinner, Qiaoya came over and whispered to her, "Liu Xing went out in the afternoon and just came back."

Cui Shuyan lowered her eyebrows, and as expected, Madam Cui could no longer bear it.

This Liu Xing was one of the maids she brought from the Cui family.

She now has three other maids in this courtyard as part of her dowry.

It's time to uproot them.

The next morning, Cui Shuyan got up early because she planned to visit Kong Daru's home that day.

After washing up, breakfast is ready.

Her breakfast has always been simple: a small dish, a small pancake, and a small bowl of millet porridge is enough.

But for some reason today, she had a poor appetite. After drinking two sips of the millet porridge, she didn't want to drink it anymore, so she asked Qiaoya to pour it away.

Qiaoya had lived a hard life and was a thrifty person. She turned her back and drank the millet porridge left by Cui Shuyan with one gulp.

However, before Qiaoya could put down the bowl, her grip suddenly loosened and the bowl fell from her hand, rolling a long distance.

Qiaoya held the table with one hand and covered her abdomen with the other, looking painful: "Miss, I..."

Before she could finish her words, Qiaoya fell down.

Cui Shuyan was shocked: "Someone, call the palace doctor!"

After saying that, she leaned over, pinched Qiaoya's mouth open with one hand, and stimulated the base of her throat with chopsticks.

Out of instinct, Qiaoya opened her mouth and vomited most of the millet porridge she had just drunk.

Seeing this, the other maids also became flustered and started to get busy.

Such a big commotion naturally attracted Madam Xie.
