The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 435 My Mother-in-Law Is Not You

At the gate of Prince Su's Mansion, Xiao Shubai stood there for nearly a cup of tea but was not allowed to enter, which made her very angry. She loudly questioned the guards of Prince Su's Mansion: "I am the mother of Princess Su, and the mother-in-law of your prince. Why is this palace stopping me?"

The guards answered confidently, "It doesn't matter whose mother you are, as long as you are not from Prince Su's Mansion, you are not allowed to enter. Madam Ye, please don't embarrass us. We are just guards at the gate. The rules and etiquette are decided by the master inside. The eunuch in charge has already gone in to pass on the message. Madam, please wait a little longer. If the prince wants to see you, he will naturally invite you in."

Xiao Shubai was blocked from speaking, angry and embarrassed, her hands clenched into fists, shaking constantly in her wide sleeves. At this moment, she completely believed what Ye Feizhou said was true, because the Sixth Prince would never have had this attitude towards her. Although he was not necessarily very respectful, he still did a good job on the surface.

But now this person doesn't even want to put in superficial efforts anymore.

"Madam." Jinxiu also noticed something was wrong and called her softly, "Let's go back! Let's go back first and talk about it later."

"What are you going to say when you get back?" Xiao Shubai glared at Jinxiu fiercely. "Since you're here, you should say it to my face. Why do you have to go back and say it? The Prince Su's Mansion is not slapping me in the face, but slapping the face of the First-Rank General's Mansion! Today I want to let everyone in Lin'an City see that my First-Rank General's Mansion has made great military achievements, but what do they think of us? They married my daughter, but they didn't even let me in. Is this how the royal family treats my Ye family? Hongzhuang's grandfather is still watching us from the underworld. This is the royal family he has risked his life to protect!"

Xiao Shubai spoke louder and louder, gradually attracting a lot of onlookers. People pointed and said all kinds of things, but most people agreed with Xiao Shubai's words, thinking that the Sixth Prince was wrong to shut out his mother-in-law. An official of unknown rank stroked his few beards and said, "The mother-in-law is an elder. No matter what the Sixth Prince says, you can't shut out an elder. It's really not good for outsiders to see. If you have something to say, just talk it out. We are all family. No matter what, we can talk it out. How can we not see each other?"

Many people agreed with what he said, but some people questioned: "Since the Sixth Prince recovered from his injury, he has been different. Whenever we meet him, he is always humble and will stop to say hello to everyone. I think it is unlikely that such a Sixth Prince would keep his family out. There must be something going on here, and it must be a big deal."

"What could it be? No matter what it is, it's their family affair. They can talk about it behind closed doors. Why would they just block people out? The mother-in-law came to the door in person, and I've never heard of a son-in-law not opening the door for her! He thinks he's the emperor! He thinks his Prince Su's Mansion is the imperial palace! He doesn't have the fate of an emperor, but he has the disease of an emperor. He's really arrogant."

The person who said this was a young man, who was obviously drunk and had a red face. There was a young girl standing next to him, and their eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar, so they should be siblings.

When the elder sister heard what her brother said, she got anxious. She stretched out her hand and poked her brother's head hard, gritting her teeth and teaching him a lesson: "Shut up! Are you showing off? Didn't the Sixth Prince not want Ye Wenyan at the beginning? Are you trying to defend Ye Wenyan? Doesn't the Fourth Miss Ye know who you are? You are showing off? You are talking nonsense just because you drank a few ounces of cat urine in the early morning. The Sixth Prince is the biological son of the current Empress Dowager. You have no right to criticize him?"

When the elder sister's words woke up many people, yes, the Sixth Prince was the biological son of Empress Dowager Li. Even if Empress Dowager Li was no longer in power, there was still a regent! Everyone knew that the regent had always been on the side of the Sixth Prince, and now he took the Sixth Prince wherever he went and taught him hand in hand. It was indeed not their turn to say anything.

So people stopped blaming the Sixth Prince and started to wonder why Xiao Shubai was turned away. Some even said, "What did the mother-in-law do to make her son-in-law so angry that she wouldn't even let him in? Even the good-tempered Sixth Prince got angry, which shows that the wife of the Ye family is really intolerable."

Xiao Shubai was so angry that his face turned green. He turned around and shouted at those people: "Shut up! My Ye family has made great contributions to Northern Qi. Three generations have fought on the battlefield. This achievement should be respected by the world, not for you to point fingers at."

As soon as these words came out, people were also upset. "We are pointing fingers at you. What does your military exploits have to do with the Ye family? Besides, don't think we don't know you. Aren't you the second wife of the Ye family? Your husband is a useless piece of trash. None of the Ye family's military exploits were won by him! This honor should be enjoyed by the old lady and the first lady. What does it have to do with you? Why are you trying to be a hero here!"

Xiao Shubai was retorted, her head was buzzing, she turned around and banged on the door of Prince Su's mansion, shouting: "Quan Qinglu, come out! I'm here to see my daughter, why don't you let me in!" This time, as she wished, the door opened, the eunuch in charge looked at her, bowed and said: "Second Madam, please come in! My prince just came back from the court, and is discussing state affairs with several adults in the court. Now, I heard that the second madam has arrived, so I had to ask the adults to go back in advance and temporarily put aside state affairs to greet you. The prince has already apologized to the adults, so the second madam should stop making trouble!"

As she was speaking, several people in official uniforms indeed walked out of the mansion. As they passed by her, they snorted harshly and shook their sleeves to show their dissatisfaction.

The onlookers disliked Xiao Shubai even more. "The Sixth Prince is obviously discussing state affairs. Why are you making a fuss here? Are you more important or is the country more important? A woman doesn't stay at home and just comes out to cause trouble. The Second Master of the Ye Family doesn't even bother to discipline her. This kind of daughter-in-law should be taken home and beaten. Let's see if she dares to do it again next time."

Xiao Shubai was so angry that she swayed three times, but luckily she managed to stay steady. She glanced at the basket in Jinxiu's hand and reminded her quietly, "Hold the things well and be confident. Don't embarrass your Third Miss!"

Jinxiu nodded, carrying the basket and followed her inside. But she was really wondering, why did she carry a basket of eggs to the Su Wang Mansion? Could the Su Wang Mansion be without the eggs of the third lady?

In the front hall of Prince Su's Mansion, Quan Qingyin was sitting at the head of the table, watching Xiao Shubai approaching from afar, without getting up to greet him, and just sat there drinking tea. The lid of the tea bowl was lifted up and down, as if he didn't even notice Xiao Shubai.

Xiao Shubai didn't care about his attitude. Anyway, the purpose of coming here today was not to have a calm conversation, so attitude was not important. She just wanted to see her daughter and ask the Sixth Prince where the baby in her daughter's belly was.

Xiao Shubai entered the room, glanced at Quan Qingyin, thought for a moment, and said, "Sixth Prince, do you want me to pay my respects to you? People outside say that the Sixth Prince is different now, he is gentler and more polite than before. I thought that the Sixth Prince was sensible, and I, as his mother-in-law, could enjoy the power of a mother-in-law. But looking at the posture of the Sixth Prince today, it seems that he is not sensible at all, otherwise how could the mother-in-law stand while the son-in-law sits?"

Quan Qingyin also raised his eyelids and looked at her. After a while, he said, "My eyes are not good. How come I don't remember my mother-in-law looking like you? My mother-in-law should be..." He thought carefully and said after a while, "She is taller than you, Madam, and much thinner. Yes, she is also whiter, and her face does not have your fat. Her family is a family of military commanders. My mother-in-law has practiced martial arts since she was young. Although she is good at wielding swords and guns, she still looks very gentle."

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Shubai carefully again, then shook his head, "It's not like you, you are too ostentatious, she is very reserved, you need to use gorgeous clothes and hold your head high to show your status, but she doesn't need to, she only needs to stand there, and everyone can see that she is a noble lady, a noble person of good status."

Xiao Shubai listened to his words. She was taller, thinner, and whiter than her, and she was also the daughter of a military general. Wasn't he talking about Mu Qianqiu?

She almost laughed. "Now you know that Mu Qianqiu is your mother-in-law? Then who was the one who wanted to marry my daughter wholeheartedly? Who was the one who looked down on Ye Wenyan? Who was the one who made my daughter pregnant before marriage and suffered all the contempt from outsiders?"

Quan Qingyin looked up at her, "I don't know who you are talking about, but it shouldn't be me. The late emperor had already issued an imperial decree granting marriage to Fourth Miss Ye and me. How could I possibly disobey the decree? Disobeying the decree is a serious crime. Even if I was the legitimate prince, I couldn't bear this crime. Madam Ye, you can't bear it either, so don't mention what happened back then."

"Don't mention it anymore?" Xiao Shubai stared at him, thinking about what Ye Feizhou had said. This Sixth Prince was a fake, he just looked exactly like the previous one, I don't know if he was wearing a human skin mask or something, anyway, this was not the same person as before. She wanted to find some clues from this face, but after staring for a long time, she still couldn't find anything.

The two looked exactly the same, even the overbearing and unreasonable appearance they showed at this moment was exactly the same, except for their attitude towards her and Hongzhuang. Xiao Shubai took a deep breath and stopped dwelling on the previous topic. Anyway, she had already been married, so what was the point of saying whether to recognize her or not? It was said that Hongzhuang was present at the New Year's Eve palace banquet. In front of the emperor, all the court officials and their wives, he recognized Hongzhuang as the principal wife of Prince Su. What he said now was just an angry remark, to irritate her.

She advised herself like this in her heart, but forgot to think about why the Sixth Prince wanted to make her angry.
