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

"Sun Zhonghuai!?"

The Marquis's wife pondered for a moment.

Oh wow, it turned out to be that playboy. Su Li has only been married into the Marquis's Mansion for a few days, and he can't stand the loneliness and wants to have an affair?

You’re quite good at finding it.

I heard that Sun Zhonghuai was a very elegant man and a frequent visitor to red-light districts. He was indeed a whore and an adulterer.

"She entered Mr. Sun's courtyard and stayed there for a long time before coming out. When she came out, her face was beaming, and it was obvious she had done something good. She was even shameless enough to bring Huan Ge'er with her as a cover. Madam, do you want to tell us about this?"

The Marquis’s wife waved her hands repeatedly.

"As the saying goes, if you catch an adulterer, you catch two of them; if you catch a thief, you catch the stolen goods. Send someone to keep watching. If she goes again, report back immediately. We'll catch her in the act."

After that, he asked Ruyi again,

"How's Brother Ping?"

Ruyi replied:

"That Liu guy took the young master's money and has been busy these days with renovations, stocking, and hiring. He's been out early and back late all day, and Brother Ping doesn't care about him at all."

"What? She's a woman, and she's still out there in public? She doesn't even care about her son? This is outrageous!"

"Isn't it? The master told her not to go out, but she still stays away all day. Ping'er cries and calls for her mother all day long. It's so pitiful."

Ruyi has been babysitting Liuxu for free these days, and she's been getting annoyed by her temper. She's planning to file a complaint today.

Sure enough, the Marquis's wife slapped the table and said:

"That bitch, it's fine that she cheated Yan'er out of his money, but now she's mistreating my grandson like this. Madam Qian, let's go to the other courtyard now. I want to bring my grandson back."

"Ma'am, you're still under house arrest!"

"What the hell! That Ping'er is not only my grandson, but also the old woman's great-grandson! Does she want to watch her great-grandson suffer outside every day? Let's go, let's go now."

……

Despite everyone's strange looks, Liu Xu personally oversaw the shop's renovations. After posting the job posting, she personally interviewed candidates. She also took care of the purchase of various materials and the arrangements for the opening day.

When outsiders saw that she was a woman in charge, they would inevitably bully her.

During this period, I could only swallow the bitter willow catkins with gritted teeth.

Pei Yan did come to see her, but at most he just glanced at her. Not only did he not help her with anything, he also complained about her being out in public all day long.

What's wrong with being in the spotlight?

Women hold up half the sky!

Willow catkins are holding back their energy and are determined to accomplish something that will impress others.

Today, Pei Yan stood at the door of the store for a while without saying a word. He felt that the place was too smoky and ran to the restaurant to drink.

After finishing her work at the shop, Liu Xu returned home exhausted, only to find the house completely silent. Not only was Pei Yan absent, but even her son, Ping Ge'er, was missing.

Ruyi was cracking melon seeds, leaning against the doorway, and said with a smile:

"Looking for your son?"

Liu Xu suddenly became anxious. She rushed to Ruyi and said angrily:

"Where's Brother Ping?"

"Oh, now you're worried. You haven't paid any attention to him these days, I thought you didn't want him anymore!"

Liu Xu grabbed Ruyi's collar and said viciously:

"What did you do to Brother Ping?"

"Oh, how dare I touch him? Even though he's an illegitimate child, he's still your bloodline..."

Before Ruyi could finish her words, Liu Xu swung her arms and slapped her hard in the face.

"Watch your mouth! Ping'er is not a bastard, he is my son!"

Ruyi has always been a ruthless character. After being slapped for no reason by a lowly woman whom she looked down upon, she immediately lost her temper. She threw the claws in her hand to the ground fiercely and said harshly:

"You're a lowly creature who's been having an affair with someone else. Uninvited and unengaged, you've seduced the young master and given birth to his illegitimate child, and you still have the nerve to act so arrogantly in front of me? You're a lowly bitch, not even worthy of being the young master's concubine, yet you still dream of becoming the Third Young Master's wife! Bah!"

After cursing, he stretched out his ten bright red fingers and started to wrestle with Liu Xu.

"You called me a slut? Who the hell are you? Don't think I don't know how many times you've crawled into my bed these past few days while I was away. You're the shameless slut!"

Willow catkins did not let Ruyi go either.

When Pei Yan returned home drunk, the house was already in a mess, and the two women were like fighting cocks, with feathers all over the floor.

When she saw Pei Yan, she rushed over and burst into tears.

"Sir, she hit me! Look, she pulled out a lot of my hair."

Liu Xu hated this kind of green tea the most, and was about to rush over again when she heard the words. But Pei Yan shouted:

"Enough! What the hell is going on?!"

Ruyi sobbed and clung to Pei Yan, crying:

"Sir, Ping'er has been crying non-stop today. I don't know what's wrong with him. I really had no choice but to take him to the clinic. I never expected to meet the Marquis' wife. She loves her grandson so much that she took Ping'er back to the mansion. Sir, I work like a slave to take care of this family, but some people can't tell good from bad and just come up and beat me up!"

As she spoke, she stamped her feet and twisted her body, crying so hard that Pei Yan's heart and liver felt numb.

"Well, isn't it just that his mother took him away? What's the big deal? Don't you just happen to be too busy to take care of your son? It's just right for your mother to look after him for a few days."

Ping Ge'er has been taken away, so it's just right for me to have a few days of peace and quiet.

But Liu Xu didn't think so.

The Marquis' Mansion didn't like her at all.

Once my son is taken into the Marquis's Mansion, how can I possibly bring him back?

Moreover, the ancient marquis' mansions were terrifying, with the people inside being vicious and scheming. This was also the reason why she had insisted on bringing Pei Yan out instead of entering the mansion herself.

Seeing Pei Yan and Ruyi hugging each other, her eyes hurt.

"I'm going to bring my son back!"

After saying this, she gathered her messy hair and was about to go to the Marquis Jinyuan's mansion.

Pei Yan stopped her and said helplessly:

"Forget it, let me go."

But Liu Xu waited anxiously in the villa all night, but her son did not come back, and even Pei Yan did not come back.

……

"Ah, look at this little face, so cute and pink! My Lord, Ping'er and Yan'er were practically cut from the same mold when they were little. Look, there's even a black mole on their backs, hehe, they're exactly the same."

The Marquis’s wife never gets tired of looking at her grandson holding him.

Even Marquis Jin Yuan couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Although he was angry at his son for not living up to his expectations, he thought his grandson was innocent. After a few more glances, his anger subsided. He picked up a rattle and started to play with Ping Ge'er.

The Marquis's wife was very happy to see the Marquis like this.

I rashly brought Ping'er back home, and I was worried that the Marquis would be unhappy, but now it seems that the two of them get along very well.

"My Lord, Yan'er came back last night and is now in his own courtyard."

"Huh, you still remember to come back?"

Marquis Jinyuan snorted in anger. However, his wife heard it and was happy in her heart. So she smiled and advised:

"My Lord, my son has returned of his own accord, which means he knows he's wrong. Don't be so stubborn. Let's have a good chat later. There's no such thing as an overnight grudge between father and son!"

"Yan'er has suffered a lot outside this time. He was beaten a while ago and his injuries haven't healed yet. I saw him last night and he had lost a lot of weight. Lord, don't you feel sorry for him?"

Marquis Jin Yuan was both angry and distressed.

But the lady was right. We couldn't keep the stalemate going on forever. If the son came back and admitted his mistake on his own initiative and was given a way out, he would just step down.

"My Lord, Yan'er is grown up now. He can't just stay idle at home all the time. It's time for him to find something serious to do."

"Hmph, what a rebellious son! If he hadn't been so stubborn and self-willed three years ago, committing such a grievous mistake that he was dismissed from the Ministry of War, I had originally thought that after he and Su Li were married, I would ask the Marquis of Yong'an to smooth things over at the Ministry of Personnel and get him at least a job. But now, look what, he's ruined his entire future! Who can you blame later?"

When talking about this, Marquis Jin Yuan was not in a good mood.

The Marquis’s wife quickly apologized.

"Yes, yes, the Marquis is right. So, this time when he comes back, if the Marquis wants to beat or scold me, I will not interfere!"

Marquis Jinyuan sighed.

Although he said so, Pei Yan was still his son after all, and the future of Jinyuan Marquis Mansion still depended on him.

"I'll take him to the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion to apologize someday. As for the errand, we'll talk about it later."

The couple was talking when they heard a noisy sound outside the yard.

Aunt Qian came hurriedly to report:

"My Lord, Madam, the woman surnamed Liu is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xu rushed in, fighting with several maids.

"Ping'er, Ping'er! Where did you hide my Ping'er? Give it back to me!"

Seeing that her son was so anxious, Liu Xu couldn't stop her.

Seeing this, Madam Hou shouted:

"Pushing and shoving, how disgraceful!"

Seeing that Ping'er was safe and sound in the arms of the Marquis, Liu Xu felt relieved. She rushed forward to hug her son, but was stopped by Madam Qian, who said coldly:

"Madam, this is my young master. What are you doing?"

Liu Xu was stunned and said:

"He is my son. You took him away without my consent. This is kidnapping!"

"Kidnapping?" Madam Qian snorted and sneered. "Ping'er is the son of the young master. How can he be kidnapped when he returns to his own home? But you, my lady, broke into the inner quarters of the Marquis's mansion without any reason and started yelling here. We can sue you for trespassing!"

"Sue me? Go ahead and sue me! I want to see what the government says. I carried Ping'er for ten months and gave birth to him. What right do you have to take him away?"

Liu Xu struggled to move forward, but was held back by someone.

"Xuer!"

Pei Yan arrived behind him and was a little embarrassed when he saw the chaotic scene. He saluted Marquis Jinyuan and his wife.

"Father, mother."

Then he turned to Liu Xu and said:

"Xu'er, let's talk it over nicely. Mother brought Ping'er into the house because she was worried about him. Stop making a fuss."

"Am I making trouble?"

Liu Xu looked at Pei Yan in disbelief.

"Last night, you said you were coming to take our son home, but you didn't come back all night! I thought something had happened to you, but I didn't expect you to stay here, eat well and sleep well. Pei Yan, are you worthy of me?"

Pei Yan knew he was in the wrong and pulled Liu Xu to comfort him.

"Xu'er, it really wasn't my intention to stay. I just drank a little yesterday, and when I got home and saw that Ping'er was safe and sound, I felt relieved and a little drunk. Mother saw that it was getting late and was worried about me going back alone, so she went to bed. I really didn't mean to."

Then he pointed at Brother Ping in the Marquis's arms and said:

"Look, Brother Ping is doing well. Mother and father both like him very much."

When Liu Xu heard this, all the grievances in her heart surged up.

Last night, when she saw Pei Yan taking a long time to come back, she thought he was detained and might be subjected to some kind of beating and punishment.

But the other person had a good night's sleep and it was all in vain that she was frightened.

She said angrily:

"In that case, take your son back."

After saying that, he was about to go forward and hug Ping'er.

The Marquis's wife stepped back while holding Ping'er, saying:

"Ping'er is living well in his own home, where are you going to take him?"
