My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

In the early morning, the warm sunshine spread in Wen Qiqi's courtyard. The leaves rustled in the breeze. The cicadas on the treetops also felt the pleasant coolness of this hot summer day and became quiet for a rare time.

“If this wasn’t the Wen Mansion, it would be quite pleasant.”

Wen Qiqi sat in the yard and stretched lazily.

I finished the embroidery work a little late last night, and I just woke up today because I overslept.

She had already agreed with Die Jiu that she would spend some time every night to make some small mattresses, clothes and other things for her unborn baby.

The things I make myself are always satisfying, the fabric is softer and the embroidery is more delicate.

"lady……"

Yu Zhenzhu brought her two maids into Wen Qiqi's yard.

One maid was holding a bowl of freshly cooked chicken soup, while another was holding two pieces of fine Shu brocade cloth.

"I asked someone to buy a few top-quality chickens from the countryside. They are all fat and big. I asked the maid to get up early today and stewed two whole chickens with Gastrodia elata and wolfberry for two hours... I just sent one portion to my mother-in-law. This portion is still hot, so I sent it to Madam."

Yu Zhenzhu was smiling and very enthusiastic. She told the maid to give the chicken soup to Die Jiu, and took the cloth from another maid.

"This cloth is also very good. You can buy Shu brocade in Kyoto, but this top-quality woven Shu brocade is hard to come by even if you have money. Pearl specially sent it to you today. Madam, just use it to make two sets of clothes."

After that, he handed the cloth to Xinyi.

Die Jiu and Xin Yi looked at each other, waiting for the lady to give the order whether to accept the thing or not.

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Pearl. Let's talk inside."

Wen Qiqi actually asked the two to pack up their things, then stood up and spoke politely to Yu Zhenzhu.

Yu Zhenzhu smiled like a flower and followed Wen Qiqi into the house, chatting and laughing.

Inside the wing room, Aunt Mei stood at the window and watched Yu Zhenzhu walk into Wen Qiqi's room...

"How strange that the lady would be interested in a jade pearl!"

"mother……"

Lu Xingchen lay on the bed, his whole body aching and he couldn't get up at all.

"The Fifth House came to pay respects to mother, and she definitely had bad intentions. The women in the red-light district are not short of scheming... However, you don't need to remind mother that she made her son suffer this way this time. Her son thinks that mother is really too much! If Yu Zhenzhu plotted against mother, it is retribution!"

His nose was burning with pain all night and he didn't dare to breathe.

The calf that was fractured by Wen Xiaoliang's kick was swollen like a carrot. I'm afraid he won't be able to walk for ten days or half a month.

And all this is not the most infuriating thing!

The most important thing is that he also disappointed his father and made a fool of himself in front of the emperor and the empress dowager...

"I am the eldest son of my father. If my brothers and sisters were not still young, I am afraid that this time, my mother would make me lose my weight in my father's heart. Mom, I hate my mother."

Lu Xingcheng and Aunt Mei have always been able to talk about anything.

He never regarded Wen Qiqi as his mother. A foster mother is not as good as a biological mother. His mother only raised him because she had no children!

"Um……"

Aunt Mei returned to Lu Xingcheng's side, rubbed his shoulders, and said gently: "This time, your mother really went too far. So what if she has a brother who can fight? He is not her own child. Xingcheng, remember, no matter how much hatred you have in your heart, you must not show it on your face..."

"My son knows."

Lu Xingcheng nodded: "Don't worry, mother. I will remember your teachings... When I don't need her anymore, I will definitely return to you. I wonder who Wen Qiqi is."

Aunt Mei smiled with relief and patted his head: "My son has suffered a lot. However, Yu Zhenzhu has been very attentive today, I am afraid she is plotting against you. So, I will help you go to pay respects to your mother later... Let's take this opportunity to hear what this bitch is up to."

"it is good!"

Lu Xingcheng grimaced for a long time before he was finally helped up by Aunt Mei and Chunxiu.

The two men held Lu Xingcheng on each side and walked quietly towards Wen Qiqi's room.

Inside the room, Yu Zhenzhu sat on Wen Qiqi's mahogany cushioned chair, leaning against her seductively, and said with a smile, "Madam, I heard that your mother's brother Wen Xiaoliang won the martial arts championship again in this competition! Congratulations to you! I came here today to congratulate you!"

"Xiaoliang is still young, and it was luck that he won this youth martial arts tournament."

Wen Qiqi said lightly.

Yu Zhenzhu raised her eyebrows and raised her voice: "It's not a fluke. The reputation of the Wen Mansion is well-known in Kyoto! Your brother Wen Xiaoliang will definitely become a great general in the future! Unlike some people..."

She had already seen Aunt Mei and her son in the yard out of the corner of her eye...

"Unlike some people who don't know they are just as good as others and just let others beat them! Haha, as a result, as soon as they step down, they become pig-headed!"

Yu Zhenzhu laughed unbridled, and Aunt Mei and Lu Xingcheng outside the window were so angry that their faces turned serious and they stopped in their tracks.

How dare a concubine laugh at the eldest son of the mansion?

If the mother doesn't punish her severely today, it means she doesn't care about herself at all!

"pearl."

Wen Qiqi raised her eyes and looked at Yu Zhenzhu, her face had a gloomy expression, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.

"Last time, I warned you to be careful with your words in the future, but I don't think you listened to me."

Yu Zhenzhu nodded and picked up the handkerchief to cover half of her face.

"Pearl remembered what Madam said. But this is in Madam's room, and there is no one else... Madam, we are all women. Although I am young, I will not hide it from you. I have seen the black and white of people's hearts a long time ago."

She deliberately lowered her voice and then suddenly raised it a few notches.

"Madam, we are all women! There are no outsiders here, so I can say whatever I want! Young Master Lu Xingcheng is not your biological son, and there is a huge gap between us! Besides, you and him... you are not even halfway to each other! Madam, aren't you afraid that when he grows up, he will be supported by you and miss his mother, and will not take you, his mother, seriously at all?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xingcheng outside the window frowned and cursed in a low voice: "He is indeed a troublemaker!"

"Just listen...what does your mother say? It would be nice if she could ask."

Aunt Mei hid herself under the wall at the door and asked Chunxiu to support Xingcheng and stand by the door. This position was more hidden, and if no one came out of the room, they would not be seen.

Wen Qiqi didn't speak for a long time.

The mother and son outside the window and Chunxiu were so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe.

What is really going on in a mother’s heart?

Could it be that Yu Zhenzhu had provoked him with just a few words?

If this is the case, it only means that my mother's kindness to me from beginning to end was all fake.
