The next day.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, Mrs. Huo, who was lying sick on the bed, suddenly sat up straight.

When she looked up, she saw Yu Shoudao rushing in, his face full of anger and he yelled at her, "Stupid woman."

Old Madam Yu walked in with Aunt Cui's help. She pointed at Mrs. Huo with a trembling finger and cursed, "I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen a woman more stupid than you."

Aunt Zhao hurried forward and said, "Master, Madam, what are you doing..."

"Pa!" Yu Shoudao raised his hand and slapped Madam Zhao, causing the old woman's head to tilt to the side.

Still not satisfied, he kicked Zhao Ma Ma hard, knocking her to the ground. She held her stomach and cried out in pain.

Xiangling and Xiangye were frightened and quickly knelt down, trembling and not daring to look up.

Mrs. Huo was so angry that she was shaking all over. Her eyes fell on Aunt Cui, who had a smile on her lips. She saw Aunt Cui looking down at her with her bulging belly, and her eyes and eyebrows could hardly hide the mockery and ridicule in her eyes.

"Yu Shoudao, I worked so hard to give birth to your children and keep the house for you, and now you bring this bitch to anger me?"

"Oh, Madam, please don't say that about the Master." Little Cui covered her handkerchief and chuckled, "I have been following the Madam to take care of her, but I didn't come here on purpose to laugh at you."

"How can I be as leisurely as you, Madam? When I go out to play, I am so energetic and vigorous, but when I come home, I collapse in bed and can't get up."

"As the head lady, if you let the old lady take care of her, then we, the concubines, will have to take care of her, right?" Aunt Cui supported the old lady in a friendly manner, "The old lady is getting older and older, and she needs someone by her side. You can use the excuse of not being well to give up taking care of her, but how can we, the concubines, do that?"

"People should have a conscience. The old lady is always so kind to us. How can she lose even the most basic filial piety because of her own reasons?"

Aunt Cui spoke in a soft and delicate voice, but she was like a sharp knife, stabbing in and out, making Mrs. Huo's heart bleed.

The old lady's disdain for her became more and more obvious. "Mrs. Huo, stop looking for trouble! You haven't been in charge these days, and it's Aunt Cui who's been taking care of the whole family. She's working so hard! You still have to rely on Aunt Cui for the medicine you're drinking now."

Zhao Mama had blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. She endured the pain and got up from the ground, breathing weakly, "Madam, Master, Madam is not feeling well. If you have anything to say, please wait a few days."

"Get lost." Yu Shoudao stepped forward in a rage, staring at his sickly wife and questioning her angrily, "Are those things said outside true? You threw our daughter away with your own hands and replaced her with that Yu Pianpian? It's not a mistake at all, right? Stupid woman, stupid woman!"

Huo Jinxiu stared at the man in front of her, as if she was meeting him for the first time, and was in a daze.

After all these years of marriage, this was the first time that Yu Shoudao glared at her and scolded her. Huo Jinxiu was completely unable to react.

Old Lady Yu raised her walking stick and trembled forward, cursing angrily, "You stupid woman, you harmed my son. You abandoned my good granddaughter in a deserted village and raised a useless thing like a jewel. What's the result? You really want to piss me off to death! Why did my son marry such a stupid woman like you?"

"You are such a jinx! Look what you have done to our family. Our granddaughter has become our enemy, and it's all your fault." The old lady was so angry that she covered her chest and gasped.

Aunt Cui hurried forward to comfort her, "Mother-in-law, don't be so angry. It's not worth it to hurt yourself." The old lady scolded angrily, "I think you are confused before you get old. You mistook fish eyes for pearls. How could my son's blood not be excellent? Ah? You had to pick up a country girl and raise her. As a result, you smeared our Yu Mansion everywhere, making me, an old woman, unable to hold my head up."

Huo Jinxiu was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Mother."

"Shut up and stop calling me mother." The old woman banged her cane and cursed angrily, "Look at all the good things you have done. Now everyone knows about it. Where can I put my old face?"

As she spoke, she slapped her cheeks with her chicken claw-like hands and gasped for breath in anger.

As a filial son, Yu Shoudao hurried over to support the old lady, repeatedly persuading her to calm down, “Mother.”

Huo Jinxiu's face turned pale as paper, and she subconsciously grabbed the hand that Zhao Mama offered her, "What do you mean, mother?"

"Stupid woman." Yu Shoudao cursed loudly, "Why are you asking? Don't you know what you did? Now it's spread all over the streets and alleys, and everyone knows that you are an unkind mother! If it weren't for the Su couple's kindness in taking her in and nurturing her for many years, Yu Hu would have died in infancy, and how could she be so glorious and respectable now."

"Don't you understand?" The old lady pounded her hands on the ground in frustration. "Linlang wants to completely distance herself from us. The rumors she spread all accused us of abandoning her when she was young, and then trying to curry favor with her when she became famous!"

"And the Su couple have become a loving father and mother in the eyes of the world. They can even be compared to the bright moon. If Master Yuhu had not had the teachings of this pair of adoptive parents, it is impossible for him to grow up to such a bright and beautiful state."

Huo Jinxiu was so angry that she couldn't even catch her breath and fell heavily onto the hospital bed.

"Madam." Madam Zhao cried out in sorrow, turned her head and looked at the old lady and master who were facing each other with angry faces, and begged bitterly, "Master and old lady, our Madam has lost her appetite since she came back yesterday, and she didn't even get a good night's sleep?"

"Could you two please stop talking and let her be quiet for a while and have a good rest!"

How could she not know how the rumors outside would ferment overnight?
Nanny Zhao had issued a gag order to the servants in the courtyard early in the morning, but she didn't expect that the ones who came to talk about this matter were the master and the old mistress.

They are stabbing the lady's heart with a knife.

After what happened yesterday, Madam was extremely sad and heartbroken. How could she bear any stimulation at all?

"You old servant, how can you have any say here?" Aunt Cui squinted her eyes and added insult to injury. "Didn't the master and the old lady want to come here in person to ask about the situation?"

"What did you two do yesterday? Didn't you go to participate in the ball-building competition organized by the eldest prince and his wife? How did you get into so much trouble?"

Thinking back to yesterday, the old servant helped his lady get on the carriage and left in a haughty manner. He also told others with a proud face that only the mistress of the house was qualified to obtain the invitation given by the eldest prince and the eldest prince's wife to participate in such a grand event, and no one else was qualified.

Why do you feel like a defeated hen now, without even a bit of energy and spirit?

Aunt Cui found it funny and couldn't help but mock her, "Oh, Madam is really good at giving birth. She gave birth to such a promising daughter. Not only is she a fourth-rank official at such a young age, she will soon become the Crown Prince's consort!" (End of this chapter)
