The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 374 Bitterness
"Eldest, eldest aunt?"

Cui Youbo was extremely astonished, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

how is this possible?Although his mother has been a little confused in the past few years, she can't tell the difference.

Grasping Xiao Nan's arm, Cui Youbo asked anxiously, "Lady, what's going on?"

Xiao Nan gently pushed Cui Youbo's hand away, and instead of answering, asked, "Does Mr. Lang know that I, Aunt, was punished by a sage?"

Cui Youbo didn't understand what he meant, but he nodded obediently: "I know, I just heard about A Weng in the Hongwen Museum, so I asked for leave and rushed home."

The news that the old Duke of the Xiao family was dismissed from the capital was definitely the biggest news this morning. Less than two hours after the incident, the news spread throughout the officialdom in the capital.

Even Cui Youbo, who was bored copying books in the library all day, heard about it, so he dropped the half-copied books, hurried to his superiors to ask for leave, and galloped all the way home on a fast horse, lest his wife would worry about his natal family. What an accident.

As a result, as soon as he came back, before he could ask Mr. Xiao about it, there was chaos at home.

Cui Youbo was puzzled, what did the Xiao family's grandson's resignation have to do with his family's mother?
Xiao Nan spoke, his voice was calm, without any emotional overtones, "I heard about Ah Weng this morning after I bid farewell to Mr. Wang. I was worried about Ah Weng, and I was even more worried about my aunt, lest the two old people bear the burden. If there is no such blow, there is another one in case, so I took Lingxi and Changsheng to Xingdaofang to visit my aunt."

As if telling a story that had nothing to do with him, Xiao Nan briefly told what happened this morning.

Finally, when she talked about the confrontation between Rongkang Hall and Rongshou Hall as soon as she entered the door, Xiao Nan's calm tone finally brought some chills, "I don't know when my Rongshou Hall became The school grounds? Why did my aunt come here with a dozen strong maidservants holding wooden sticks? If I, Anan Xiao, did something unreasonable, there are Jingzhao and Jinwu, so there is no need for my uncle and mother to do it myself... ...and in front of the three children?!"

Hearing this, Cui Youbo didn't understand anything, it was just that his mother was instigated by someone and came to trouble her.

But this time it was more serious. A Niang actually brought so many people with her, and she was holding a murder weapon. It was obviously a decisive battle with the lady.

No wonder the lady is angry, A Niang, A Niang really went too far this time.

However, as a son of man, Cui Youbo couldn't blame his own mother, so he could only apologize on behalf of his mother as usual.

Before he could open his mouth, Xiao Nan said coldly: "I thought and thought, but I really can't think of anything wrong, so I think that my aunt must have been coerced by the villain to do this. "

For some reason, Cui Youbo felt that Xiao Nan in front of him was very strange, and the coldness in her eyes made him even more frightened, giving him a feeling of uneasiness.

Sure enough, Xiao Nan continued to say: "Since the eldest aunt is being coerced by villains, as a junior, I can't just sit idly by. So I ordered people to call for armored guards, and took down all ten people. He was punished with a cane. The bloodstains you saw, Mr. Lang, presumably were left over from the execution."

Cui Youbo buzzed in his head, his vision went dark, and he almost fainted: Execution on the spot?on the spot? !In front of his mother?
Oh my God, what is the lady going to do? In front of her mother-in-law, she blamed her mother-in-law for following her.

Cui Youbo didn't believe that the dozen or so people A Niang brought were villains, they were clearly A Niang's servants, and most likely they were the ones she had to use.

If a lady does this, it is tantamount to disobeying her parents!

Cui Youbo was in a mess.

On the one hand, he felt sorry for his mother. Others don't know, but he, as a son, still doesn't know. His mother is pampered, and she has never seen a bloody and brutal scene in her life. It is definitely a big stimulus for A Niang.

On the other hand, he is also worried about his wife, who has paid for the Cui family, respected and cared for him in the past few years. How could he not be moved and grateful for treating him like an ordinary woman.

Now the lady was in a hurry and did something wrong, if it got out, it would be a trivial matter for the lady's reputation to be ruined, if outsiders found out, according to the patriarchal law, the lady might be divorced by the Cui family.

Seeing Uncle Cui's ugly face, Xiao Nan mistakenly thought that he was blaming her for disrespecting her 'mother-in-law'. She smiled coldly and continued: "I originally wanted to send those people to Jingzhao, but it happened that the wife of the lobby came over, so I thought about them Since they came from Rongkang Hall, in front of my sister-in-law, I didn't want to do it on my behalf, so I handed them over to my sister-in-law to take them away."

Uncle Cui's throat slid up and down a few times, and he said with difficulty: "Madam, if you are like this, maybe the aunt and sister-in-law will be unhappy?!" He will definitely argue with Aye to divorce his wife.

Xiao Nan suddenly showed a bright smile, and said softly: "Why? I helped them punish the restless gangsters, and they were all very happy. If you don't believe me, you can go to Rongkang Hall to find out now .”

Wait a minute, the lady's smile is so weird, it's half a smile, half a smile, half a mockery and a sneer, it's very uncomfortable to see.

It was only then that Cui Youbo realized that something was wrong. From the moment he entered the door, he always felt that the lady was a little weird. The expression on her face and the tone of her voice were all alienated, and her eyes were also very cold, as if Looking at someone who has nothing to do with me.

Is the lady disappointed in herself?Or do you think that you are worried about the Xiao family's old man and you are exhausted?
Cui Youbo was very disturbed, he didn't even dare to look at his wife's eyes as calm as water.

Seeing Xiao Nan, he slowly suppressed his smile, "I'm tired, I'm going to rest first, sir, do as you please!"

Saying that, without waiting for Cui Youbo to respond, Xiao Nan stood up and walked slowly towards the dormitory.

Seeing Xiao Nan's expression, Cui Youbo became more and more uneasy, and subconsciously stopped him: "My lady, you, wait a moment, I still have something to say to you."

For some reason, Cui Youbo felt that if he didn't make a sound at this moment, the lady would get farther and farther away from him.

Xiao Nan stopped in his tracks, but he didn't turn his head back, "Mr. Lang should go and see his aunt first. If you have anything to say, you can talk about it when you come back. I, I'm tired!"

What happened today touched Xiao Nan a lot. She realized that in the past few years she was a bit extreme, blindly pursuing fame, deliberately suppressing herself, and causing herself and her children to be wronged.

In fact, if she had been stronger back then and made some people fear her from the bottom of her heart, she wouldn't have the troubles she has today.

Or what Ah Ming said was right, some people just didn't take care of themselves, and she knew she was afraid when they were beaten and hurt.

As for what Cui Youbo thinks, Xiao Nan doesn't want to worry about it anymore, she has worked hard for four or five years, if she can't make Cui Youbo feel like herself, then it proves that this person is really not worth her effort.

After acting for a long time, even the best actor is tired, let alone an amateur actor like Xiao Nan.

Watching Xiao Nan's back gradually leave, Cui Youbo's heart was full of bitterness.

Heaving a long sigh, Uncle Cui still decided to go to see his mother first, and then beg his sister-in-law to see if he can keep this matter at home.

He must not let his wife be criticized by others because of this incident, and even be admonished by the queen.

Thinking of this, Cui Youbo got up and left the hall, striding towards Rongkang Hall.

Besides, Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Wang, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, both fell down on the couch after returning to Yinghui Courtyard, trying to calm down the disordered atmosphere.

Especially Mrs. Zheng, she was really frightened today. Until now, the screams were still echoing in her ears, and when she closed her eyes, large swaths of bright red blood would appear.

After all, Mrs. Wang was young, and she was not the person involved, so she quickly recovered. She raised her head and solemnly said to the eldest lady: "Aniang, although something happened to the Xiao family, the eldest princess is still here. Xiao's county The Lord has not been cut off, she is still a noble daughter of gold and jade... don't mention today's matter."

Mrs. Zheng nodded secretly at first, but then felt a bit ashamed to be ruled by a daughter-in-law, so she deliberately thought of an excuse and asked: "You have hurt so many slaves for nothing, and outsiders are not fools. If you ask, how should you answer?"

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes secretly, and cursed secretly, why didn't you say that in the Weirui courtyard just now, and you got more courage when you returned to your own room.

She complained in her heart, without revealing anything on her face, Wang gave the 'answer' firmly: "If others ask, they will say that these slaves have evil intentions, coveted the property of Rongshou Hall, and took advantage of the absence of the princess's wife to cooperate with them. The bandits outside broke into the Weirui courtyard to steal. Fortunately, the princess's wife's armored guards arrived in time and took Diao Nu and the bandits down in one fell swoop.

For such slaves who betrayed the master and bandits with ulterior motives, they should have been killed.But the wife of the princess and Auntie have a kind heart and don't bear to kill, so they are temporarily let go.

However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped. According to the family rules, he will be punished with a stick. "

After hearing this, Mrs. Zheng lowered her head and thought about it, and finally nodded helplessly: "Okay... If someone asks, I will do as you say."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, when the maid outside reported, "The Lord of the Rongshou Hall is here!"

……

Half an hour later, Cui Youbo left the Yinghui Courtyard, looked up at the bright sun, he felt dizzy and his feet were a little weak.

He really didn't expect that when the sister-in-law and mother-in-law saw him, instead of scolding or blaming the lady, they would tell the same 'story' as Xiao Nan in unison.

Sister-in-law has always been a virtuous and reasonable person, it is not surprising for Cui Youbo to say that.

But A Niang also said that, Cui Youbo's thoughts became a little confused.

In the past few years, Auntie has made things difficult for the lady several times, and the lady has been patient step by step, but Aniang has never said anything nice about the lady.

Today, the lady suddenly moved her hand, but the lady was not angry at all, instead she helped the lady find a reason to cover it up.

Cui Youbo absolutely did not believe that his mother would change her temper.

The only explanation is that A Niang was afraid of the lady, and she became a loving old man instantly because of the prestige of the princess.

Cui Youbo really didn't know whether to be happy or angry about this.

With an inexplicable mood, Cui Youbo returned to the main courtyard, he went to the corridor, and suddenly heard a burst of chatter and laughter.

Listening to the sound, it should be the laughter of Xiao Nan and the three children.

It seems that everything is over, and the family has the laughter of the past again.

Cui Youbo felt relieved, and walked into the hall, but he didn't expect that the moment his figure appeared, the laughter in the room stopped abruptly.

Seeing Xiao Nan's indifferent expression and the three children's faint alienation, Cui Youbo was full of bitterness.

PS: Hey, it's a bit late for the second watch, good night everyone!
