Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

There must be something hateful about pitiful people. Wangshu just felt that the person in front of him was indeed a bit hateful. Why did he always act so high and mighty? "Tang Bo has been with Qin Xiuyuan for twenty years. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a second father. He is a person who is very close to us and cares about us."

Wang: ...I don’t think so

Whatever. "You have your ideas, I express mine. This isn't an insult to you. You have a good son. Many people envy you for having such an outstanding son. They can't help but respect you when they see you. As for whether it's sincere or not, what does it matter? Sincerity can't make you a god. We just need to live comfortably."

Wangshu is very open-minded. As long as there is no malicious intent, it's fine. In this day and age, as long as you can save face, that's all that matters! The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and it never changes because of the joys and sorrows of the world. So many things won't go your way just because you're unhappy/disagree/you're older than me.

"You also said that I have a good son and that ordinary people would respect me, but I am surrounded by extraordinary people. Do you know how I have lived these years?! Has he ever cared about me as his own mother? I let others humiliate me..."

Unexpectedly, the more Wang listened, the more excited she became. Upon hearing this, Tang Bo immediately took a few steps closer and stood behind Wangshu to prevent her from getting angry or fainting.

Wangshu was very calm. "If your son has any grievances against you, maybe he's still brooding over the lack of care and love you gave him back then. Go ask him about that."

"Haha, you know it all. Isn't it because I became close to you that I distanced myself from you, my own mother? You let others point fingers at me and never refute a word..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Wangshu stopped the person who wanted to shout louder than him, and was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. "God, I have never stopped him from seeing you once."

"If you cared so much about what others think and say, you wouldn't have left your son to become a concubine to the general when he was still young and well-fed. As a man, he's going to argue about right and wrong over a rumor he hears? There's no need. Look at how many people are scolding me, and he doesn't have the time to care."

The stronger you are, the more respect others will receive you. Wangshu cares about rumors, which is actually a flaw in his character, which is to be picky and confrontational.

"You've had a hard time in the past few years. As for how you've been living, tell me how you've been living. I'll listen. If you act like the world owes you something, I won't listen."

Wangshu swung his quill and continued, leaving his mother-in-law speechless. "There's a little one at home, so don't yell at me. As for whether Qin Xiuyuan cares about you or not, didn't he save your life many years ago? Who was it that wanted you dead, and who saved you? You haven't forgotten, have you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man strode into the study, "Shushu. Mother."

Wangshu's mouth was dry. He stared at the ends of his wet hair and asked, "Where is the baby?"

"We brought him back. The fat boy couldn't help but peed in the pool, and my daughter scratched him." They parted on bad terms.

"Puchi!" Hahaha, Wangshu leaned against him and laughed until he almost had cramps. "...You know...the day before yesterday, my daughter inexplicably reminded Fatty to go out to pee. I didn't expect it, ahaha! It was a warning! It was a warning! Hahaha!"

Qin Xiuyuan smiled gently. The clever little treasure, although he knew that he could not beat his elder brother, still scratched him directly when his elder brother denied it, and directly broke the elder brother's pretentious appearance, who was in the wrong. He was very brave!

The account book on the table was only half full. "Continue looking at the account book?" Qin Xiuyuan understood her gaze and opened his mouth to take Wang away. "Mother, let's go sit in the pavilion."

The mother and son sat down one after another.

"Mom, just tell me if you have anything to say." The small wooden sticks that his children played with were neatly piled on the table. He reached out and pulled out the one in the middle at the bottom.

"Can't you tell your wife?" Wang turned her head to look at the yard with a garden on one side and a flat land on the other. There were seesaws, small wooden horses, scooters, sandbags, Cuju, and chicken feather shuttlecocks on the flat land, which showed the daily playtime of the brother and sister.

"Well, I can't argue with her."

Qin Xiuyuan smiled helplessly, "Every time my father-in-law and mother-in-law tried to change her mind, she would retort with reason and evidence, leaving them speechless and even begging for forgiveness and admitting her mistakes, and then avoiding them. This has been going on for over a decade without exception."

It's a tough nut to crack. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law are very afraid of Shushu. If they catch her making any mistake, they will remember it for several years.

Wang: ... "Really... you're the only one who can stand her."

"Mother, she's very opinionated. If you don't try to change her, you'll find she's the easiest to get along with after a while. She'll even help you find solutions."

Wang politely declined. "Are you trying to make you and the general enemies? And leave Eleven and I caught in the middle?"

...Qin Xiuyuan's face suddenly turned cold.

"Mother, you should know what a baby means to your son. It was only after seven years of my marriage that Wangshu became pregnant."

Year after year, his brothers in the army married after him, and children were everywhere. The young general looked at his mother calmly, "How many eight years can a person have in his life? God, may I only have this one chance to be a father." Qin Xiuyuan knew what was going on. "It was the general who chose to cut off my wings. He had a woman in his backyard, and countless children in her hands and feet, but he came to kill my mother who was about to give birth. It was just a little bit..."

Seeing that Wang Shi didn't seem to be grieving, Qin Xiuyuan, who had vowed to kill the man every time he thought of the incident, calmed down and said, "Mother, I know you've always stood on his and Xiao Shiyi's side, but he and I are already enemies. Everyone has grievances, and we each have to swallow our own grievances. As long as I'm alive, he won't dare kill you. If I die, no one in this courtyard, including you, will survive."

Wang cried bitterly. "Oh my Eleven!"

"If you want Eleven, I can send you back to Chang'an. There is no Eleven here."

The crying stopped abruptly, and Wang's face was filled with pain. "You knew it was you that made me..."

"It was me who saved you that year, mother. You see, the one who saved you hasn't forgotten, but the one who was saved has forgotten who was killing her."

Wang held her head in her hands, "You're talking nonsense. The general didn't mean it. He doesn't understand. He doesn't understand."

"He has at least 90 women, if not 100. They've been fathers every year for over 20 years. No one understands better than him."

Qin Xiuyuan penetrated the person in his mother's body, "Xiao Shiyi, he wanted to try to create a copy of me. Once you were copied, you were useless. He even deliberately caused your pregnancy to die in your womb, so that you could disappear in that posture! It was Shushu and I who saved you. Later, it was my military exploits that saved you. The front line was short of food and rations, and the soldiers couldn't even eat hard bread soaked in water. The general's backyard had fewer mouths to feed, so it was natural to control the number of people there."

At dinner, Wang said she was ill and could not go out.
