Golden Branch

"Let's go! Let's go now!"

Mrs. Dugu was also angry.

Having been the Duke's wife for ten years, she is no longer the lowly maid she used to be.

With Lou Jin's favor and a noble status, Mrs. Dugu developed a noble character and temper.

She simply couldn't stand Lou Yu's cold words.

Moreover, Lou Yu's behavior was no longer a tactful way of seeing the guest off, but a direct way of driving him away.

"Aunt, take care!"

Lou Yu would not "not see them off". He was a gentleman with proper manners. He would personally see the "distinguished guests" off to the second gate, watch them get on the carriage, and see them off.

Madam Dugu: ...Unfilial son! Little bastard!

I am your mother!

I am also very grateful for your help!

If it weren't for me, how could you have achieved such great achievements and been awarded the title of Duke of Qi?

She had given me a life and a helping hand, but this bastard still called her "Auntie" and kicked her out...

The more Madam Dugu thought about it, the angrier she became, and a layer of ice formed on her pretty face.

However, no matter how angry she was or how cold she was, Lou Yu seemed unaware of it. He continued to maintain a gentle and elegant mask and respectfully sent them out.

Madam Dugu got on the carriage angrily, not even glancing at Lou Yu's warmly smiling face. She stomped hard on the carriage floor and said, "Let's go! Back to the mansion!"

The driver did not dare to delay and whipped the horse vigorously, and the carriage rumbled away from the Duke of Qi's mansion.

Lou Yu stood at the door, one hand behind his back and the other hand slightly bent in front of him.

He smiled faintly and watched the carriage quickly disappear at the intersection.

"...You're so shameless, and you're even trying to imitate others in giving concubines as gifts!"

Lou Yu sneered to himself.

What he said was not only referring to Madam Dugu, but also implying Dugu Wei and Li Yan.

Of course, if you are facing Dugu Wei and Li Yan, you need to use a different wording: You are so shameless, and you still want to be someone else's concubine?

These self-proclaimed noble people say they are willing to endure humiliation for the sake of their family, but in reality, they still cannot let go of their airs.

This may be what is called pride.

But it may be a kind of pretentiousness.

Since you have to kneel, just do it directly.

Just like his daughter Ah Heng, when she needs to be coaxed, she acts obediently and cleverly without any signs of acting.

Nor will he show the slightest reluctance.

This is true intelligence, not pretending to be noble, which is actually ridiculous!

If Lou Yu were to give away a concubine, he would never give up easily after hearing a few unpleasant words.

If you really can't stand what they say, you can leave in anger or just leave the two women behind.

As long as you are not so shameless, there are always hundreds of ways.

Unfortunately, his mother, who had been a noble lady for several years, had already developed a proud and noble character.

They are simply unwilling to give up their dignity and lose their dignity.

In other words, she is beautiful and has a gentle temperament, which is just what Lou Jin likes.

Otherwise, with such a brain and such a character, he would be destined to be cannon fodder in any family's backyard.

Lou Yu's sharp tongue is absolutely indiscriminate.

If he ridiculed his biological parents, he would show no mercy at all.

Just as Lou Jin believed that Wang Heng was not a good match for Lou Yu, Lou Yu also did not think that a woman like Dugu was worthy of the responsibility of being the mistress of the family.

However, subsequent facts proved that Lou Yu still underestimated his own mother——

The carriage from the Duke of Anguo's Mansion went out of the alley and came to another street.

Dugu had been to the princess's mansion, so she knew that although the Duke of Qi's mansion and the princess's mansion were not on the same street, they shared a forest.

"To the street ahead!"

Sitting in the shaking carriage, Dugu's mood calmed down a little.

She suddenly thought of something and reached out to knock on the carriage in front of her.

When the coachman heard the sound, he turned his horse and went around to the street where the princess's mansion was.

Dugu lifted the car window and looked through the gap at the closed door of the princess's mansion.

Wang Jiu, her future daughter-in-law.

But Dugu didn't like it.

She was not as thoughtful as Lou Jin. She was worried that if her son married Wang Jiu, he would lose a wife's family to help him.

She just inexplicably and without reason rejected Wang Heng.

"How can there be no reason? It's clearly because this girl is too charming. I'm afraid my son will be bewitched by her and lose his mind!"

Dugu refused to admit that she was prejudiced against Wang Heng.

I can only desperately find fault with her: "She looks so charming and has a delicate personality!"

"I heard that she doesn't sew all day and isn't good at cooking. As a woman, she only knows how to enjoy herself and has never thought about serving her husband properly or being filial to her elders."

"She's clearly not of royal blood, yet she's been given the title of princess. With such a complicated identity, how am I supposed to train her once she's married?"

Dugu claimed that she was not an evil mother-in-law, but the rules could not be broken.

As an elder, he should discipline the bride.

But if the bride is a princess, how should she, as the mother-in-law, behave in front of the bride?

There should be order of seniority between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

But because of her status as a bride, the hierarchy was reversed.

Dugu was used to being spoiled by Lou Jin, and she had always been in a high position in the Lou family and in the Anguo Mansion.

She could not tolerate the situation where a mother-in-law had to serve the princess' daughter-in-law.

Of course, there is another reason that Dugu is unwilling to face up to:

Wang Heng and Lou Yu grew up together, and she knew too many secrets of the Lou family.

Although Dugu's identity was top secret, she thought that Wang Heng might not know it.

However, Dugu was once Lou Yu's biological mother. Because of Madam Cui, Lou Rang and others, Lou Yu had suffered and been wronged... Wang Heng not only knew about these things, but also participated in them.

When Dugu faced Wang Heng, she couldn't help but feel guilty.

When she met Wang Heng's clear and bright eyes, she felt ashamed and angry as if she had been stripped naked.

Dugu could still tolerate the occasional meeting in public.

However, if Wang Heng became her daughter-in-law, and they lived together day and night... just thinking about it, Dugu couldn't accept it!

Therefore, even though the reasons were different, Dugu and Lou Jin reached an agreement on breaking up Lou Yu and Wang Heng.

"Three years should be enough time for me to do something!"

"It's just... Dalang, this kid, is so heartless—"

When she thought about being kicked out by her own son just now, the anger that Dugu had just suppressed suddenly came out.

She was unwilling to admit that she and her son were estranged, and even more unwilling to reflect on herself, and instead put all the blame on others.

such as--

"Perhaps, neither Dugu Wei nor Li Yan is suitable!"

"Although these two are both good-looking, one is bright and proud, the other is cold and reserved, they are also talented and knowledgeable."

"However, compared to Wang Jiu, it's still slightly lacking."

Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is: Wang Heng was born too beautiful, with a stunning appearance and a noble status.

If you want to make Lou Yu change his mind, you have to find someone who is either more beautiful than Wang Heng or has a similar appearance.

Fortunately, Wang Mian didn’t know what Madam Dugu was thinking, otherwise he would have said in admiration: “Amazing, Madam, you actually used the stand-in trick!”
