Noble Lady

When Xue Huai finished school, Marquis Xue and his wife also came back with Mr. Xue Erye.

Although the timing was coincidental, the private school had only one door and did not go through the main gate of the Marquis' Mansion, so they did not run into the Sixth Prince and other students.

As for the carriage carrying the young son of Mr. Xue's beautiful concubine, it was not among them.

"Brother and sister-in-law, I don't care what your reasons are, you can't separate Yinyin and her son from me. Otherwise, even if you report me to the authorities, I will never let you go."

Don't think you can always outdo me just because you inherited the title! Once I earn enough military merit to earn a title, I'll naturally be on equal footing with you!

Even now, Mr. Xue is still making harsh remarks.

Madam Xue smiled but said nothing. Marquis Xue glanced at him and said, "You don't know how to live or die!"

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Don't think you're great just because you've got Xue Heyan's heart. Now that you're old and ugly, if there's a prettier woman around, you'll end up crying sooner or later!"

Mr. Xue really doesn't know how to live or die, and keeps provoking.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Hou punched him in the face.

"Crack" his jaw was dislocated and a tooth came out with blood in it.

"Xue Heyan, how dare you hit me?! Do you know who I am..." Who is this? I am an official appointed by the court! I am not someone you can hit or scold at will!

"Then do you know why you call Qingniang sister-in-law?!" Without giving Master Xue a chance to argue, Marquis Xue kicked him down again.

"You're disrespecting your elders and your elder sister-in-law, and stirring up unrest in your elder brother's family!"

"Don't say you're just a mere fifth-rank lieutenant general. Even if you were the highest-ranking official, I'm your elder brother. An elder brother is like a father, so I'll still beat you up!"

He wanted to take action when they were at the city gate, but he had to give him some face in front of others. Now that he had entered the marquis' mansion and the door was closed, he could only be beaten.

Mr. Xue stared at him in disbelief, feeling like he no longer recognized this elder brother.

The punches and kicks that fell on him were so painful that he couldn't open his eyes. After a long time, Marquis Xue got tired of beating him, and Madam Xue came forward to pull the men away.

"Okay, don't keep the fish waiting too long. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the fish."

When Marquis Xue was reminded of this by her, he thought of his difficult and stubborn old mother, and became annoyed again.

"Then let's go. Don't let her find another chance to embarrass Yu'er."

Second Master Xue Hejun was pulled up by Xue Hou, who was so strong that he almost dislocated Second Master Xue's hand.

Second Master Xue grimaced in pain, but Marquis Xue kindly dusted him off and reminded him, "You know how to talk to your mother when you see her later."

"Don't even think about asking me to cover up for you! When I see my mother, I'll definitely file a complaint against you and make sure you don't get away with it."

"It's up to you, madam. Let's go and see the fish." Marquis Xue waved his hand indifferently, and walked towards the flower hall hand in hand with Madam Xue.

Not to mention whether Xue Hejun dared to report him in front of the old lady; even if he really did, whether the old lady could do anything to him was another matter.

After a while, Uncle Fu sent his servants to report.

"Grandma, I'm afraid that Dad and Mom are back."

Old Madam Xue was eating cakes non-stop. When Xue Chenyu saw the servant coming in, she stood up immediately.

Old Madam Xue was so frightened by her sudden move that she almost choked and went to see her deceased husband.

"Grandma, grandma, are you okay?!" Xue Chenyu hurriedly handed her tea and patted her on the back.

Old Madam Xue swallowed the cakes with great difficulty and immediately lost the desire to continue eating and drinking.

Xue Chenyu also glanced at the almost empty plates. The old lady had said before that she was not hungry and did not want to eat any cakes, but who knew that Yuzhu brought out a few plates of snacks and easily aroused her appetite.

Oh, and that bird's nest.

It would have been fine if she had just eaten, but she had to make sarcastic remarks while she ate: "I knew you were living comfortably in the capital, but I didn't expect you to live so comfortably. This dessert costs about a hundred or eighty coins per plate, and three plates will cost several hundred coins. You're such a spendthrift!"

Yuzhu and the others rolled their eyes: If you think you're a spendthrift, then don't eat it. Eat one piece at a time. You're not afraid of choking at your age.

Look, isn’t this choking?

I can only say that she deserves it.

Xue Chenyu made no comment on her grandmother's harsh and critical behavior, and waved for the servant to come closer to answer.

"what's up?"

"Replying to the eldest lady, the Marquis and his wife have brought the Second Master into the mansion and are almost here. They specifically asked me to come first to report."

When she heard the word "Second Master", Mrs. Xue was no longer choked and felt uncomfortable.

"My Jun'er? Why didn't you tell me that they were going to pick up Jun'er? They are really not thoughtful enough!" Old Madam Xue's words were full of accusation and questioning, completely forgetting that she had just been eating and drinking with others.

What a man who picks up the bowl to eat and puts it down to scold the cook.

Xue Chenyu was not annoyed. "Yes, grandma is right. Grandma was born into a wealthy family, so naturally her ways are better than yours. I didn't have many opportunities to learn from you before. This time, grandma is coming to Beijing, so you must stay for a while longer to teach your granddaughter the rules."

Mrs. Xue was about to ask a few more questions, but Xue Chenyu flattered her so much that she became carried away and forgot everything else.

"Of course, since I have come to Beijing, I will teach you the rules. Your mother can..." What rules are there.

"Grandma, my parents are back!" Xue Chenyu suddenly shouted, interrupting Madam Xue's scolding.

The old lady paused, and then saw her unwelcome eldest son and daughter-in-law walking in arm in arm, and she became furious again.

"You two, pulling and tugging in public, how can this be allowed?!"

He was scolded all the time. Marquis Xue frowned and was ready to fight back.

Madam Xue quickly held down his arm and slowly pulled her hand out, "Greetings, Madam."

Only then did Xue Hou reluctantly clasp his fists and say, "Greetings, mother."

Seeing his reluctant look, someone who didn't know would think that he was going to be sent to jail.

In contrast, Mr. Xue Er immediately showed his loving attitude when he saw Madam Xue.

"Mother, your son bows to you!"

He pretended to bow down, but because the injury from the beating he had just received was involved, he grimaced in pain.

Madam Xue asked anxiously, "What happened? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Then she glared at Xue Hou and said, "Did someone attack you? Tell mother, and she will definitely help you get justice!"

The only thing missing is to mention Marquis Xue by name.

Marquis Xue looked at her blankly.

Upon hearing this, Second Master Xue immediately put away his bullied expression and explained, "Don't worry, mother. You know I'm now a lieutenant general of the fifth rank, and training is bound to bring me some bumps and bruises. It's okay, it will be fine in a few days. This matter has nothing to do with my elder brother, so please don't worry about it, and don't blame my elder brother and his wife."

This sentence seemed to clear the relationship between Marquis Xue and Madam Xue, but it also accused Marquis Xue and Madam Xue in both explicit and implicit ways.

Therefore, after hearing what he said, Mrs. Xue not only did not calm down, but became even more annoyed, and became more and more unhappy with the eldest brother's family.

"That's right, Boss. You've been in the army for many years, and you married someone who knows business. You should be well-off and have no shortage of good medicine. Why wouldn't you give some to your own brother, and instead ask him to endure the pain and come see me?"

Old Lady Xue scolded both Marquis Xue and Madam Xue with just one word, saying that Marquis Xue did not know how to sympathize with his brothers and also belittled Madam Xue's background.

Of course, she didn't plan to let the younger one go.

Marquis Xue's face darkened as she continued to chatter, "And where's your Xue Huai? He said earlier that he hadn't finished school yet and asked that girl to pick him up. It's already this late and he still hasn't finished school? Could it be that he knew I was coming and was deliberately neglecting me?"

"Don't think he's the only male in the Xue family. I won't spoil him!"

Don't think he is still the only male in the Xue family? That is to say, he is no longer the only male in the Xue family.

At first glance, this statement may not make sense, but Marquis Xue and Xue Du have both seen the fat boy born to Master Xue's beautiful concubine, so they naturally understood the implication.

The couple looked at each other: It turns out she knew it a long time ago.

"Grandma, you're too kind." Xue Huai spoke at the right time and led Xue Luoyan into the flower hall.

"I came back a long time ago, but when I saw Grandma was about to lecture Dad, Mom, and Sister one by one, I didn't want to disturb her, so I just stood at the door for a while."

"I just didn't expect that my second uncle, who is so old, didn't know how to apply medicine when he was injured. He had to wait for my parents to bring him medicine. If you don't know him, you would think he is no better than a three-year-old child."
