The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

When Bing'er's mother heard that her son was being bullied, she was like a chicken with its feathers blown off. She started to yell without any reason:

"Sister-in-law, how can you bully a child?"

"Bullying a child? It was clearly your son Bing who deliberately kicked over my son Huan's stool! I asked him to apologize, and you call that bullying?"

Bing'er's mother was unhappy when she heard this.

"Our Bing'er is a good boy, how could he do such a thing? As for Huan'er, huh, God knows if he was the one who knocked over the stool and blamed it on Bing'er!"

When Bing Ge'er heard this, he also agreed:

"Mother, it was obviously him who couldn't sit still. I didn't kick him!"

Bing'er's mother hugged the child and comforted him:

"Mother knows. It must be that lowly bastard who is not presentable. A fatherless and motherless bastard with no manners at all!"

Su Li got angry when she heard this, and she stepped forward and grabbed Bing Ge'er's mother's arm, saying angrily:

"Who are you saying has no parents? The prince is staying well in Qingshan Courtyard, and I am standing here well too. Who are you cursing so vulgarly?"

"..."

Bing'er's mother knew she had said the wrong thing.

Pei Heng has been lying straight for three years, no different from a living dead. Privately, they have long been certain that Pei Heng's death is a matter of time, and they blurted it out today.

But she didn't show any intention of apologizing. Although her face was red, she stiffened her neck and said,

"If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. You acted arrogantly in your mother's home, but you don't even consider the occasion. How can you be so presumptuous?"

Bing'er's mother also came from a noble family. How could she give in to a widow who was about to become a widow?

Arrogant and domineering?

Su Li sneered, "Today, I'll let her see what it means to be arrogant and domineering!" With a smile, she raised her hand to hit Bing Ge'er's mother in the face.

But he was grabbed by Huan Ge'er beside him. He said calmly:

"forget it."

This kind of thing happened so often that he was used to it.

He didn't want this woman to be scolded because of him, nor did he want to ruin today's dinner.

Anyway, just endure it for now, he will make it up to you later.

"Count? How can it be counted?"

Su Li squeezed Huan Ge'er's hand tightly and said solemnly,

"They bullied you before, and I couldn't do anything about it when I was away. But from now on, they won't dare to touch a hair on your head. He dared to kick your stool today when you were off guard. He might do something even more vicious tomorrow! I will never allow such a thing to happen again."

After saying that, she pulled Huan'er behind her and said to Bing'er and his mother:

"You, and you, apologize to us right now. Otherwise, I will beat you until you apologize!"

Bing'er and his mother were frightened by Su Li's fierce aura, and turned around and started shouting:

"Husband! Husband!"

The situation here has become so chaotic that the news has already spread everywhere.

The Marquis brought his men, and the old lady, supported by the fourth and fifth girls, brought their women, and a large group of people came to the table of the younger generation.

The Marquis's wife was always good at smoothing things over in such public occasions. Seeing this, she quickly smiled and said,

"It's like saying people of the same family are alike. You two sisters-in-law have become friends through fighting. You were just kids, fighting one moment and then you made up the next. Adults don't need to get embarrassed by these little things."

After saying that, he turned around and said to Huan Ge'er:

"Brother Huan, you are the older brother. You should set an example and shake hands with Brother Bing and make peace."

Huan Ge'er twitched the corner of his mouth.

That's it again.

It happens every time!

He gave Bingge'er a cold look and was about to step forward. But Su Li pulled him back:

"Wait!"

She turned to the Marquis and said:

"Mother, Huan Ge'er is right. Just because he's the eldest brother, does that mean he deserves to be wronged?"

"You kid,"

The Marquis's wife laughed awkwardly.

"That's a bit too sensitive. What's wronged or not? They are brothers, and only brothers can respect each other. Brother Huan, why are you still standing there?"

A big hat was put on, and the marquis's wife looked at Su Li with a smile, waiting for her to express her opinion.

Su Li sneered:

"Friendship is mutual. They keep calling me a bastard, a fatherless and motherless person, and saying that the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked. They don't treat me as their sister-in-law at all, don't treat Brother Huan as their elder brother, and don't take the prince seriously at all. Why should we be friendly with such people?"

Su Li held Huan Ge'er's hand and stood straight in the crowd, which invisibly gave Huan Ge'er great confidence.

He has never had such confidence.

He looked up at the figure standing in front of him, and thinking about everything that had happened in the past two days, his heart, which had been wrapped tightly like a hard shell, began to soften a little.

My back unconsciously became much straighter.

Huan Ge'er turned sideways and bowed to the old lady, saying clearly:

"Great-grandmother, it was indeed my second brother who kicked over my stool."

As soon as these words came out, the old lady's face darkened.

"Brother Bing, apologize to your elder brother."

Brother Bing looked at his mother and said reluctantly:

"sorry."

Bingge's mother had no intention of apologizing to Su Li. She grabbed Bingge, spanked him hard, and cursed:

"Why did you bother to mess with him? He's still so young and doesn't learn good things. He's already skipping school, stealing money, and wandering around the Flowing Crystal River. You better stay away from him from now on!"

After saying that, he beat Bing'er severely again and tried to pull him out of the crowd by force.

Everyone in the room had different expressions. The three girls blushed with shame and looked at Huan Ge'er sideways while holding their handkerchiefs.

The old lady's face turned even paler after hearing this. She stamped her cane and said angrily:

"What Liujing River?! What about stealing money and skipping school? Brother Yi's wife, please explain yourself clearly!"

Bing'er's mother had just taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped.

"Madam, I, I... I heard it from others. Every day after Huan Ge'er checked in at school, he'd skip classes and hang out at the Flowing Crystal River. I heard he was a frequent guest of those singing girls and dancers..."

Facing the old lady's sharp gaze, Bing'er's mother trembled, but still said everything she needed to say fluently.

Su Li's heart skipped a beat, and she exchanged a secret glance with Song Zhi.

She had just heard about this from Songzhi today and hadn't had time to deal with it yet. Unexpectedly, it was such an unfortunate coincidence that Bingger's mother revealed it to her during dinner at night!

She secretly glanced at Huan Ge'er and saw that his little face was turning pale and blue, but he pursed his lips and said nothing. She couldn't help but worry about him.

"Brother Huan, tell me!"

The old lady hated the young men of her family who pursued affairs of state. Under her rule, the reputation of the Marquis of Jinyuan had always been good. Now, such a thing had been reported about an eight-year-old child, the eldest son of her most beloved grandson, Pei Heng.

The old lady and the marquis turned pale with anger.

"Grandma, there must be some misunderstanding!"

Su Li hurried to smooth things over.

My second aunt, who had been silent all this time, came up to me with ill intentions and said:

"Li'er, you just arrived and don't know. Huan'er is a notorious mischievous boy in our mansion. The teachers at the school often come to complain about him. I heard that Huan'er's biological mother is a prostitute. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it's true that a dragon gives birth to a dragon, and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son will dig holes!"

Second aunt's words were also belittling Pei Heng.

Su Li was so angry that she wanted to whip her a few times.

The Marquis's wife also sighed deeply, pressed her eyes and said:

"It's all my fault. There are so many things going on in the mansion, and I've been busy preparing for the wedding lately, so I haven't been able to take care of Huan Ge'er. Mother, Huan Ge'er is old enough, and it's time to put a few maids in his room to take care of him. It's all my negligence."

When the Marquis's wife said this, the Second Aunt quickly said:

"Oh, sister-in-law, his legs are on his body, how can you control him forever? Huan Ge'er is just like that, no matter how strict your discipline is, what can it do?"

As the two of them interacted with each other, the accusation of visiting Liujing River, riding a flower boat and soliciting prostitutes was firmly pinned on Huan Ge'er's head.

The Marquis’ wife pretended to be distressed and asked:

"Brother Huan, if you have any problems, you should have told Grandmother. Those prostitutes on the Liujing River are all unclean. Being cheated out of money at such a young age is a small matter, but getting your health damaged is a big deal!"

Huan Ge'er's face flushed red with embarrassment, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence:

"I don't!"

"What a spoiled mother! What a spoiled mother!"

The old lady was so angry that she stomped her cane repeatedly, and the fourth and fifth girls were busy trying to calm her down.

"Let me ask you, if you don't study hard, how will you get the money to go on a boat trip?"

"Where did it come from? He must have stolen it from my sister-in-law's room!"

My second aunt made a very timely addition.

The old lady was furious and scolded Huan Ge'er:

"Your Majesty!"

Huan Ge'er's body trembled and he knelt on the ground unwillingly.

"Sejong, how should we handle this matter? You tell me!"
