The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night
Chapter 8: Give a Show of Power
"Are you that woman?"
Huan Ge'er suddenly spoke, and looked at Su Li coldly with his precocious eyes.
This question was extremely unreasonable, and any well-educated person would have reprimanded her long ago. But the Marquis's wife, holding her teacup, lowered her head and looked deaf, clearly not wanting to care.
Su Li nodded slightly.
"A good woman never marries a second husband! You were originally Third Uncle's bride, but you remarried to my father right there in the wedding hall. Do you know that this is infidelity?"
Huan Ge'er had a serious face, a childlike face but a powerful voice. Despite his youth, he acted like an old scholar, his words full of propriety, integrity, and morality.
Pei Yan was the third child in the Marquisate, above him not only Pei Heng but also Pei Yi from the second branch. Therefore, Huan called Pei Yan his third uncle.
The Marquis's wife raised her eyebrows and thought to herself, well said, it was worth my lecture last night.
Second Aunt cried out, pointing at Huan Ge'er and scolding him:
"Little brat, how can you talk like that! It's okay if you act like that on a normal day, but this is your mother. How can anyone talk to their own mother like that?"
"I have a mother. But not this shameless woman!"
Huan Ge'er pouted and looked fierce.
Xi Jie'er, who was standing by, didn't understand what was going on, but she could feel the high-pressure atmosphere in the hall. At this moment, she saw her brother, who had always been close to her, suddenly became harsh in his words, and she was so scared that she burst into tears.
Mrs. Hou frowned. What a noisy place.
However, at this time, the more quarrels there were, the better. She wanted to see how this cheap daughter-in-law would respond.
Su Li looked at the Zhengqi Hall that had become noisy for a while, frowned, staggered to his feet, and said to the Marquis's wife with a pale face:
"Mother, I'm feeling a little unwell. Can I take my leave first?"
The Marquis's wife pressed down on the bowl, and you can't stand it? Where's the arrogance you showed when you banged your head against the wall at the wedding hall yesterday? Where's the arrogance you showed when you abandoned my son and remarried the paralytic? Without the old woman and the Marquis's support, you're nothing!
Haha, Su Li, I finally got a hold of you!
The Marquis's wife didn't say anything, but the second aunt rushed over and grabbed Su Li.
"Ah Li, don't take Huan'er's words to heart. He's not like this usually. Even though he was a little naughty, he's still a good kid after all. I don't know what happened today!"
what happened?
The reason why a good child behaved so abnormally was naturally because of her new, unfaithful mother from outside.
My second aunt is really good at belittling people.
"Ari, as a mother, you should be more generous. If the child is naughty, just take him home and give him a good beating."
"Take him back?" Su Li waved her hands repeatedly. "Second aunt, mother, I'm new here and I can't even take care of the prince, how can I have time to take care of two children? Please continue to trouble me..."
In fact, Su Li had long wanted to rush over, pick up the two children and kiss them on the face.
But she had figured out that the worse she was, the happier the Marquis would be. If she took the initiative to treat the child well and begged to take the child back, she was afraid the Marquis would find ways to harass her.
Right now, the more she showed that she didn't want the child, the more the Marquis's wife would want to stuff it into her arms and ask her to pack it up and take it back immediately.
This play still needs to be performed.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, the Marquis's wife raised her hand to rub her temples and said with a tired look on her face:
"Li'er, you don't know how hard it is until you become the head of the household. This huge mansion has hundreds of people to support every time I open my eyes. I'm an old man, and I'm really overwhelmed! How can I have the time to raise two unruly children?"
They are not your own grandchildren, so why should you take on the thankless task of taking care of other people's children?
In the past, they were raised by the Marquis and the old woman, and she, as a mother, had no choice. At the same time, she also wanted to hold a handle on Qingshan Court.
But now, Su Li is here.
Originally, she had wanted to see if Su Li and the child hit it off right away, if mother and child were loving and filial, then she wouldn't be willing to hand the child over. But now, seeing Su Li avoiding the child like a tiger, and Huan Ge'er looking down on Su Li with disdain and contempt, watching these two sparring, she felt a sense of relief.
They are just two burdens, get rid of them quickly.
With Huan'er's bad temper, wouldn't he cause chaos in Qingshan Courtyard? Humph, just the right time to send that paralytic on his way.
"Someone, take the young master and young lady to Qingshan Courtyard."
The maids outside the door responded and went to pack their bags.
The Marquis's wife smiled brightly, looked at the sky,
"Since you're not feeling well, go back early. Heng'er can't live without you. We can talk about anything later when we have time."
After saying that, he turned and went into the house.
My second aunt watched the show for the whole morning and looked very satisfied. She smiled and twisted her butt, said goodbye and left.
Third Aunt passed by Su Li, gave her a cold look, and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself from saying anything.
The maids moved very quickly, as if they had been prepared for a long time. Soon they were carrying two bundles and placed them at the feet of Huan Ge'er and Xi Jie'er, wishing they would leave as soon as possible.
Songzhi and Songtao picked up their bags with a helpless look on their faces, and took the reluctant Huan'er and the crying Xi'er away.
"Miss, they really go too far."
Leaving Zhengqi Hall, Nanny Li was filled with rage. Not only was the young lady planning to marry a paralytic, but the paralytic actually had two children! This was a direct threat to the young lady!
Looking at the young lady's expression just now, Nanny Li was really worried that she would faint from anger.
But Su Li turned around with a smile on her face.
"Madame Li, hurry up and clean up the east and west wing rooms. The east side will be dry and bright for Sister Xi, and the west side will be quiet and secluded for Brother Huan."
After walking a few steps, I remembered something.
"I remember there were fine writing brushes, inkstones, and paper in my dowry. I'll find them all and give them to Huan'er."
"Also, I remember I have some fine, soft, and brightly colored fabrics. Find them all and make a skirt for Xijie'er. I don't have any boy's fabrics, so go out and buy some of the best ones and make a few new clothes for Huan'er."
"She's four years old now, so she can eat anything adults can eat. But I still need to instruct the kitchen to make sure Xijie'er's food is cooked until it's soft and tender so she can digest it better."
……
Su Li gave instructions as he walked.
In her previous life, she dreamed of becoming a mother, but she had a miscarriage and could never conceive again. Now that she has Huan Ge'er and Xi Jie'er, she feels her life is complete.
I wish I could fly back to Qingshan Courtyard right now and arrange everything.
Su Li was like two completely different people before and after, which made Li Ma stunned. At first, she thought that the young lady was forcing herself to smile, but as she listened, she felt that something was wrong. The young lady was really good to the two children from the bottom of her heart. From food, clothing, to housing, the young lady took everything into consideration very carefully.
It was as if she was a used mother, carefully planning for her children.
Nanny Li smiled bitterly.
The young lady is married and things are different now.
If they were as impatient as before, they would probably have fought in Zhengqitang just now.
It is said that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. It seems that the young lady has come to terms with it. It is good like this now. From now on, as long as the young lady is well, anything is fine.
Nanny Li suppressed the tears in her eyes and agreed to all the requests.
……
Returning to Qingshan Courtyard, the moment Su Li pushed open the gate, she put on a cold and calm expression again, suppressing her enthusiasm for the child deep in her heart.
Su Li asked Songzhi to gather everyone in the yard.
Now that the big thing has been done, it's time to deal with these stubborn slaves.
Standing on the steps, Su Li said coldly:
"Is everyone here?"
