The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official
Chapter 43: Disobedience and unfilial behavior will be punished
Nangong Yu, who had just arrived at the gate of the courtyard, frowned and glanced at Gu Ruoxi. He found that Gu Ruoxi had a blank expression on her face, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or sad. She just lowered her eyelids.
The men in blue and black carried the person directly to the door, where they were greeted by the gloomy face of old Zhu who was sitting at the top.
Standing next to her was Xiao Zhu, who was wearing a gorgeous rose-red dress.
Gu Ruoxi didn't understand some details of dressing, but everyone in the Marquis' Mansion knew that Zhu Xinlan, who was called a concubine but was actually the Marquis's concubine, couldn't wear bright red clothes because she was not the principal wife, so she always tried her best to wear clothes that were as close to bright red as possible.
This is a kind of shameless stubbornness.
But Nangong Yu who came in didn't even glance at her.
Originally, Qingyi and the others were going to carry the person to the middle.
According to etiquette, when you return, you should pay your respects to the old marquis' wife.
But Nangong Yu called Qingyi and the others:
"Carry it to my mother's side."
Just as Qingyi and Moyi were about to turn the corner, the old marquis's wife threw a teacup lid at them:
"How dare you! You don't even show me courtesy when you see me now? Where did you get your books?"
But Qingyi and the others only listened to Nangong Yu. Even if the old marquis's wife threw a teacup lid or a knife, they would have turned around.
He was carried directly to Xie Qingrou's side.
Qinglan and Qingfeng, who were standing behind Xie Qingrou, wanted to remove the chair next to Xie Qingrou to make room for the prince's chair.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Yu said gently:
"No need to move, let the young lady sit there, my chair will be right next to her."
Xie Qingrou also planned this, she stood up, smiled and took Gu Ruoxi's hand and said:
"Come, Xi'er, sit next to mother."
Gu Ruoxi also nodded slightly and called softly:
"mother."
Xie Qingrou was very happy. She reminded the girl to call her mother several times, and finally she did so.
Xie Qingrou immediately took off the pair of jade bracelets on her wrist and put them on Gu Ruoxi's wrist:
"This is what my mother passed down to me. I'll give it to you later."
Jade feels cold when you touch it, but this pair of jade bracelets feels warm.
"Nuan Yu? Thank you, mother!"
Although Gu Ruoxi didn't know some rules, she was very good at identifying this kind of jade. In their previous lives, they had come into contact with various jades, some of which could provide energy to people with various supernatural powers.
Gu Ruoxi was very sensitive to the aura of wood, and some jade auras were connected to wood auras, so she was very sensitive to the aura of this kind of thing.
When she was at Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, she felt that the jade pendant that Gu Ruolan took out as a token of love was made of very good warm jade. Now she felt it and thought it should be a set with the pair of jade bracelets.
"You're welcome. Come on, you must be tired. Come and sit down."
This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't take the other people in the room seriously at all.
In the past, Madam Xie would give the old marquis’ wife some respect, just for the sake of her son.
After her son's wedding, Mrs. Xie no longer took them seriously.
After Qingyi and Moyi put Nangong Yu down, Moyi went out and Qingyi stood behind Nangong Yu.
Their complete disregard made the old marquis' wife, who was sitting in the upper seat, so angry that she almost died.
This grandson is getting older and older, and he is becoming more and more alienated. It is all because of Mrs. Xie's teaching. She has taught a good child to disrespect his elders.
The old marquis’s wife slammed her palm heavily on the table:
"Nangong Yu, have you grown too powerful? Have you forgotten even the basic etiquette after becoming a relative? Your grandmother and your father are sitting here."
Nangong Yu replied calmly:
"I see. Say whatever you want to say. I heard you cursing when I was still at the door. I don't want to interrupt your elegance. Please continue. Besides, it's not convenient for me to perform this ritual. As a grandmother, please be considerate of your grandson."
The old marquis's wife paused, and looked at Gu Ruoxi who was whispering with the marquis's wife:
"Sure enough, he was raised by his aunt, and he doesn't know etiquette."
Gu Ruoxi didn't even raise her eyelids, but said something to the Marquis' wife, who also smiled.
He didn't listen to the old marquis's lady's indirect criticism at all.
"Xie, this is the good daughter-in-law you married!"
The old marquis's wife turned her target towards Xie Qingrou again.
Xie Qingrou turned around helplessly and said:
"Madam, just tell me what you want to say. You don't even bother to rest in the middle of the day just to call everyone here and scold them? If you just want to scold them, just like Yu'er said, then you can continue."
No one wanted to pay attention to the old Marquis' wife. Lord Nangong then spoke:
"Yu'er, don't go too far. You are also a well-read person. If you are disobedient and unfilial, you will be punished!"
Nangong Yu's face turned cold:
"Really? Then go to the emperor and file a complaint against me. I will bear the punishment I deserve. If there is nothing to say, I will go back to the courtyard. I haven't taken my medicine today."
These words made the Marquis and his wife so angry that they fell backwards.
Go ahead and sue me. I admit that I was unfilial. Is that okay?
I didn't expect such shameless words to come out of Nangong Yu's mouth.
Nangong Su took a good look at his son again. No matter how unhappy his son was in the past, he would always try to save face. What happened these days?
Just after recovering from the illness, he got happy and ruined everything?
Before they came back, Nangong Su had a quarrel with the Marquis's wife.
Naturally, he didn't win, so now he didn't dare to get angry at Mrs. Xie.
It seems that this gift won't work.
People all accepted the charge of being unfilial and refused to perform this ritual.
The old marquis's wife was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet, and coughed several times.
Xiao Zhu's expression was somewhat profound. Seeing the quarrel here, she should be happy, but she also felt the change in Nangong Yu.
It seems like something is changing.
Xiao Zhu looked at the old marquis' wife with some concern.
The old marquis' wife almost couldn't continue. She took the tea handed to her by Xiao Zhu and drank two sips, then said sternly:
"I thought you had followed the emperor for several years and were a sensible child. Look at what you have done. You went to take the concubine of the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion and serve her as the mistress. Do you know how many wealthy families are laughing at you behind your back?"
Gu Ruoxi couldn't understand for a moment why other people's families would interfere in her family's affairs?
If you take your own mother out, shouldn't you be considered filial?
However, seeing the stern look on the old Marquis's face, Gu Ruoxi thought that she really didn't understand some of the rules of this era, so she asked the Marquis's face in a low voice:
"Mom, is it really impossible to bring my mom out?"
Xie Qingrou replied directly:
"Yes, who said no? You have to believe Yu'er. If he says it's possible, then it doesn't violate any rules."
Gu Ruoxi looked back at Nangong Yu and smiled at him with eyes full of trust.
Nangong Yu didn't reply to her, but reached out and pressed her hand on the armrest of his chair. Then he replied to the old lady calmly:
"Since when do I have to depend on the opinions of the various mansions? Madam, you are overthinking. Look through the laws of Daliang. Which one have I violated? Look at the rules of your Nangong family. Which one have I violated?"
