Spring Drunk Chang'an

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo really didn't want to meet Liu Xiu face to face.

She made a subtle request, expressing her great desire to see the old lady of your house...

Liu Xiu looked bitter.

Doesn't he know that it is unreasonable for a grown man like him to discuss his children's marriage face to face with his in-laws' wife?

Isn't he embarrassed looking at the face of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, who is middle-aged but still has charm?

Couldn't he know that it would be more reasonable for his own mother to come out and entertain? !

Isn’t it because Mrs. Lai is not here and she left in anger?

"Well, well, ha ha ha, ma'am, my mother is busy and not at home. Let's wait for a chance in the future!" Liu Xiu laughed and then said, "What's the matter? Just tell me directly!"

"We are not outsiders."

"This..." The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo twitched her lips, thought for a moment, and said with difficulty: "After all, there are some things about children, some!!"

It’s not very convenient to tell men.

"When will your old lady come back?"

At such an old age, half buried in the earth, he certainly wouldn't go far away, right? At most, he would be back in half a day or a day.

She can wait!

"My mother went to Tongzhou to see her cousins. She won't be back for two or three months!" Liu Xiu smiled.

I cried secretly in my heart.

At the beginning, when Song took Wenrui and Qingru away, she had to compromise due to her own reasons and reluctantly let the mother and her two children leave. However, her daughter-in-law was fine, she was gone, but Wenrui and Qingru were her own grandchildren, especially Qingru, who had lived in her courtyard since she was a child. How could she not want them?

So, he was very angry with Liu Xiu for making a mistake, but Liu Xiu took Qu Qiutong into his house and lived with him like a couple.

When her son made a mistake, as a partial mother, Mrs. Lai could not be annoyed enough and was reluctant to do anything to him. However, facing the "vixen" who came in from outside, the old lady was filled with hatred and was willing to do evil. With Aunt Lai gossiping and trying to trip her up in private, the old lady hated Qu Qiutong to the core and made trouble for her every day.

Qu Qiutong was not a pushover either. For so many years, Liu Xiu had held her in the palm of his hand and held her high on his head. She would not tolerate any grievance. In the three days since she entered the mansion, she had quarreled with the old lady six times, three small quarrels a day and a big quarrel every three days. The old lady fainted from anger several times and went to her son to cry and wail.

Liu Xiu: ...

He truly loves Qu Qiutong.

If she could replace and abandon her own sons Liu Xiu and Liu Wenrui, what would a mere mother be?

He is partial to Qu Qiutong, so I have to be patient with him.

"Qiutong, she has a sharp tongue but a kind heart. She may say harsh things, but she has a kind heart. Mom, don't bother with her. Look at her good points!"

Liu Xiu spoke earnestly.

Old Mrs. Lai: ...

benefit?

What are the benefits?

Is there any benefit in making her so angry that she is dizzy and seeing stars?

Old Lady Lai scolded her son, and Liu Xiu listened respectfully, not daring to say a word in rebuttal. However, when she scolded Qu Qiutong, Liu Xiu's words, one after another, were almost enough to constitute disobedience.

Honestly, in a situation like this, it’s better to just do it. The son is unfilial and a jerk, but he did it for a woman!

The old lady was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but she could do nothing about her son. She didn't want to see Qu Qiutong anymore. She didn't care about her age and physical discomfort, and traveled through mountains and rivers to Tongzhou to "reunite" with her old sisters.

In fact, originally, the old lady wanted to use Qiao to scare her son and had no intention of actually leaving. After all, Tongzhou was more than 300 miles away from the capital. She was so old and it was easy for her to die on the way due to the unfamiliar climate and long journey. In the end, who would have known that Liu Xiu would listen to Qu Qiutong's "slanderous words~~"

"Your mother and I, perhaps born with incompatible zodiac signs, quarrel whenever we meet. As the saying goes: distant relatives are fragrant, while neighbors live high and build walls. Perhaps, if she stays away from me and calms down for a few months, she will figure out my good points and remember your filial piety. When she comes back, we can live a good life together!"

That's what people say.

Liu Xiu:~~

He thinks it makes sense.

I don't know if he thought it would be best to scare the old lady off in one go so that she wouldn't make any more trouble and interfere with his sweet time with his true love. Anyway, half an hour after the old lady said she was leaving, he had already prepared the carriage, luggage, guards, and maids.

Old Mrs. Lai: ...

After the harsh words were spoken, the son did not give her a way out, but instead put her in a difficult position. The old lady had been a wealthy lady all her life, and she also had to save face. She was helpless and could only leave wiping away her tears.

It has been more than ten days now.

This was also the reason why Aunt Lai hadn't looked for Liu Qingru since that meeting at the Rouge Shop...

There was no way, her backer had fallen.

Without the obstruction of Old Lady Lai and Aunt Lai's disappearance, Liu Xiu and Qu Qiutong lived a very sweet life together. Especially, the future daughter-in-law they chose was the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. As soon as they hinted their intention to someone, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion immediately agreed!

The six ceremonies were completed at an almost lightning speed. There were not many requirements for the betrothal gifts from the Ningguo Mansion, and they even sent the dowry list in advance.

Miss Xu's dowry was very rich.

Not to mention the ten miles of red makeup, there are also 98 stations full of people! !

The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, they are a perfect match.

Liu Xiu and Qu Qiutong were both extremely happy. They had originally thought that by the time they got married next year, Old Lady Lai would have calmed down and would have returned, allowing them to hold up the front and preside over the wedding. But who could have imagined that today, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo would come to visit...

Why not let the Duke of Zhenguo come?

Obviously, their family knew about their situation. In the past, whenever they discussed marriage arrangements, it was always the Duke of Zhenguo who came! !

Liu Xiu was in great trouble.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was devastated.

She gritted her teeth and wanted to go back, but thinking about the situation of her little evildoers, she couldn't delay any longer. She could only close her eyes and make up her mind!

He said directly: "Duke Liu, since your old lady is not here, then, then I can only say these words to you!"

"You say, you say!"

Liu Xiu hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

"Well, our two families are engaged, and Ruyi was raised by my parents-in-law. They love their granddaughter very much, so they went to Yuantan Temple to find the abbot and had a fortune told for her."

"The hexagram says that Wenbo and Ruyi are a perfect match. They are harmonious and harmonious, a match made in heaven. There's nothing wrong with them, except..."

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo paused.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu quickly asked, "Just what? Did something go wrong?"

When two families get engaged, of course they have to match their horoscopes, and there has never been a mistake!

"The host master said that this year, the Tai Sui star is in conflict with the Zi Wei star, which is dim. This has impacted the life lines of Wen Bo and Ru Yi, and will cause their marriage to be unhappy. If they want to break it up, they have to get married early!"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo lowered her eyes, feeling flustered and confused. "That's right, it would be best if the wedding could be arranged within two months."
