The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night
Chapter 22 Being a Mother is Strong
Marquis Jinyuan looked at his eldest grandson and shook his head in disappointment.
This eldest grandson was already five years old when he entered the mansion. At that time, he was quite pleased to see the child's handsome features and the intelligence in his eyes.
The eldest son Pei Heng was handsome and ambitious. He refused to get married until he was twenty years old. He had criticized him for this more than once.
After a few years at the border, he brought back a pair of children. Although he refused to reveal who the children's mother was, Marquis Jinyuan was still happy.
Unfortunately, not long after, Pei Heng abandoned his child and returned to the border. He became a disabled person when he came back.
All in all, Huan Ge'er and Xi Jie'er are Pei Heng's only blood relatives left in this world.
He was determined to train him well.
I solemnly entrusted the children to my wife, but I often heard news that they were naughty and had no ambition.
Nowadays, at such a young age, people still go to Liujing River!
Marquis Jin Yuan was so angry that he stamped his feet and raised his hand to slap the man in the face!
"Shuzi!"
This unexpected slap not only stunned Huan Ge'er, but also stunned Su Li.
She rushed to Huan Ge'er and opened her arms to protect him. She didn't care whether he was a marquis or not, and shouted at Marquis Jin Yuan:
"what are you doing!"
After drinking, he turned around and hugged Huan Ge'er in his arms, blowing his heartache on his red cheeks, and said:
"Does it hurt? Does it hurt?"
Marquis Jinyuan didn't expect Su Li to rush out and yell at him, and was stunned for a moment. Seeing her protecting Huan Ge'er like a child, he said angrily:
"Li'er, don't be fooled by his pitiful appearance! He did something so disgraceful to our family that he deserves to have his legs broken and be imprisoned in the ancestral hall."
Su Li turned back coldly and pushed back Marquis Jin Yuan's gaze.
"Father, even if you're a criminal in court, you should be given a chance to defend yourself.
Did Huan'er skip school, steal money, or go on a boat trip? These were all just one-sided accounts from my second brother and his wife! Why did my father just convict Huan'er outright? Even the magistrates of the government wouldn't handle a case this way!
What's more, you are his grandfather! You slapped the child without knowing right from wrong. Is that how an elder should act? "
If Marquis Jinyuan wasn't her father-in-law, she would have pounced on him and scratched him with her Nine Yin Bone Claw.
No matter who is in the sky, no one can stop her from hitting her child!
"I!"
Marquis Jinyuan was also left speechless by Su Li's retort.
Huan Ge'er has always had a bad reputation, so when he heard someone complaining, and some of them even made up stories with details, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed and surged up.
Among them, there is more disappointment of being unable to make the best use of one's talents.
After hearing what Su Li said, he felt a little guilty. He coughed awkwardly a few times and said:
"Then why don't you tell me what's going on?"
There were five finger marks clearly printed on Huan Ge'er's small face. He sneered, and the indifference in his eyes was chilling.
"Hasn't Grandfather already made his decision? Why bother asking? If you want to break my legs, go ahead! Anyway, in your eyes, I'm just an uneducated, shameless, bad kid!"
"You bastard! I'm so pissed off!"
Marquis Jinyuan was so angry that his beard stood on end.
He had two sons. The eldest son was once all his pride, but now he has become a living dead.
The second son is a playboy. He gave up his wife and future for a bitch.
Now the eldest grandson of the concubine has grown crooked again and has become like this.
It's so infuriating that it makes me want to vomit blood.
Especially today, at the family dinner where the second and third wives were present, he really lost face.
He turned his head left and right, and was about to ask for the family discipline. But Su Li shouted:
"Wait a minute, father!"
Su Li stood up suddenly and said to Jin Yuanhou:
"Father, even though I've only been with Huan Ge'er for two days, I completely trust him. He's definitely not the kind of kid who skips school for no reason. Also, Second Aunt keeps saying Huan Ge'er stole money. Do you have any evidence?"
Su Li turned coldly and looked at her second aunt.
Second Aunt felt a chill all over her body. The look in her niece's eyes was truly terrifying. She shuddered and said,
"I, I, sister-in-law, didn't you say that? Huan Ge'er stole money from you? You must have witnesses and evidence, bring it out quickly!"
At the critical moment, the second aunt suddenly put the blame on the marquis' wife.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the Marquis's wife.
The Marquis's wife suddenly became the focus, and she was a little annoyed that her second aunt betrayed her at the critical moment.
In fact, she just said that, where did the witnesses and evidence come from?
At this point, she was in a difficult position and could only say angrily:
"It's normal for a child to have some expenses..."
"Humph! Mother, then tell me whether you stole it or not!"
Su Li would not tolerate the old woman's vague words.
The Marquis's wife was shocked and forced into a panic, so she could only say:
"As a grandmother, I love my grandson and it's only natural for me to give him some pocket money. But I didn't know he would use his pocket money for that."
"Then you didn't steal it!" Su Li snorted coldly.
Trying to put the blame on her son without any evidence is impossible!
"A loving mother often loses her son!"
The old lady cursed again.
The Marquis's wife secretly rolled her eyes at her second aunt.
Since the frame-up for stealing money failed, at least I could earn myself a reputation for loving my grandson.
Although she had never given Huan Ge'er any pocket money.
As for the issue of prostitution, he can't escape it!
Someone actually saw it.
Sure enough, although Marquis Jinyuan breathed a sigh of relief, he still asked loudly:
"If you didn't steal the money, then how did you get on the boat? And what did you do on the boat?"
Without waiting for Huan Ge'er to answer, Su Li sneered:
"Father, don't you think about it? Since the theft of money can be second aunt's nonsense, then why can't the matter of going to the flower boat be second brother's wife's nonsense? After all, they are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they are one family. They are not from the same family!"
Su Li is trying to change the concept.
If a person can tell a lie once, she can tell it countless times.
Since stealing money is fake, it is hard to guarantee that soliciting prostitution is real.
What's more, it's unbelievable for an eight-year-old child to say it out loud.
"Su Li, what do you mean!"
Bing'er's mother immediately became unhappy. She was about to rush up to argue, but was stopped by Pei Yi.
"You heard me clearly, yet you still have the nerve to ask me. Is there something wrong with your ears or your brain?"
Su Li raised her chin and eyebrows in anger.
"Brother Huan is only eight years old. As his aunt, instead of taking good care of him, you keep finding dirty things to damage his reputation. What are you thinking?
Look at the good son you raised, he's so young and yet he's already plotting against others. It's easy to imagine that your moral character as a mother isn't much better!"
"You! Su Li, you little bitch, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Bing'er's mother was very aggressive.
"Try tearing one off!"
Su Li didn't give in at all.
"enough!"
Marquis Jin Yuan was so angry that he slammed the table.
He knew what kind of person his niece-in-law was. She was just a gossip who was always looking for trouble.
Thinking about it this way, he calmed down. Maybe Huan Ge'er really was being wronged.
Seeing that Marquis Jinyuan's expression had relaxed, Su Li quickly struck while the iron was hot:
"Father, Huan Ge'er was raised by mother. How could mother, who was so busy with all sorts of things, have the energy to take good care of him? He might have skipped school and been a bit naughty occasionally, but that's just child nature. If he was dull and inert, I'd be worried!"
"Don't worry, father. Now that I'm here, I can't guarantee that I can train him to be outstanding, but at least in this year's final exam, I guarantee that he will get first place! Within three years, he will be able to pass the examination and become a scholar, and in the future, he will even be the top scholar!"
When Su Li said this, Marquis Jinyuan could not hide his joy:
"really?!"
You have to know that the Jinyuan Marquisate was founded on military careers, but the Daqi Dynasty values literature. If a civil servant emerges from the family in the future, their weight in the court will be different.
Pei Heng was originally a man of both civil and military talents, but he gave up civil studies and turned to military tactics only when the border was in crisis.
Even if no civil servants can be produced, if a few Juren or Jinshi can be produced, it will be a great joyous event that will bring honor to the family!
And if Huan Ge'er passed the imperial examination at the age of eleven, there would be firecrackers set off for three days and three nights, and he would be praised as a child prodigy and genius throughout the capital!
However, when he thought about how talented Pei Heng was, his children couldn't be that bad! So when he heard Su Li say this, Marquis Jin Yuan had already forgotten about the previous things and chased after Su Li and asked:
"Li'er, are you serious about this?"
"Father, of course I'm not joking. If you don't believe me, I might as well issue a military order! Let's not talk about the distant future, let's talk about the immediate future. In this fall's college final exam, if Brother Huan doesn't get first place, I will personally break his legs and tie him up and take him to the ancestral hall."
Huan Ge'er felt a pain in his leg: Thank you!
"Okay, okay! There are still three months until the final exams. I will wait for good news."
A crisis was resolved with Su Li's eloquence. Everyone, with their own thoughts, prepared to sit down and eat.
Su Li, however, pushed the issue further.
"Father, you just slapped Huan Ge'er for no reason and you haven't apologized to him yet!"
The flesh on Marquis Jinyuan's face twitched.
Huan Ge'er was also shocked.
This woman is really asking for her own death! How can a grandfather apologize to his grandson?
Su Li, however, tried desperately to commit suicide:
"Father, saying sorry won't hurt you. Besides, you were wrong in this matter!"
Marquis Jin Yuan's face was full of black lines.
He couldn't bring himself to say sorry, but he still waved at Huan Ge'er.
"Brother Huan, come here and sit next to Grandpa for dinner."
Huan Ge'er glanced at Su Li, and Su Li nodded.
She didn't really want to force Marquis Jinyuan to apologize to a child. In the ancient patriarchal society, the dignity and status of the father were sacred and inviolable.
But she still had to say this, because it was the dignity of Huan Ge'er and the dignity of Qingshan Courtyard.
Seeing that Marquis Jin Yuan was not sure whether it was out of apology or because he had high hopes for Huan Ge'er, he let Huan Ge'er sit next to him.
Su Li knew that she had defended the dignity of Huan Ge'er and Qingshan Courtyard today.
