Chapter 341 cynicism
"What do you mean?" Chunying smiled, and simply opened her mouth and said, "Don't you understand? How can you force people to do things and expect them to do things willingly? Third young master, have you forgotten that I am not Is your girl? If you beg me with nice words, you may be able to persuade me to think of a way for you, but if you put on this posture now, you are not afraid that I will hold a grudge? Our husband and wife agreed to you face to face. Turn around and publicize your story to everyone, what can you do?! Besides, whoever said that I am here, Wangshan must help you? Is it possible that you can still detain me?! Or take Put a knife on my neck to force our husband and wife to nod?! Third young master, don't call me frivolous, if you really do this, I'm afraid the days of prosperity and peace in the Hou Mansion will come to an end immediately!"

Li You was trembling with anger: "You use this to speak against me, are you trying to use the power of the Wenjun Palace to suppress me?! Who is the one who bullies others?! You have also received a lot of favors from my family since you were a child. You can't do anything, you are forgetting your roots!"

Chunying laughed back angrily: "I forgot my origin? If I forget my origin, I won't come to the door today! Third young master, this is not how you ask for help. You treat me as your girl, and you have to listen to your orders for the rest of your life? I'm sorry, I don't have that kind of servility! Being able to get rid of your family is really the most correct thing I have done in my life!"

Li You slapped the table with his palm, shaking the tea bowl to the ground with a loud noise.Li Xia was taken aback, and turned around quickly, seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not good, he didn't dare to breathe.There were several girls and women poking their heads outside, wondering what was going on inside.

With a sneer on the corner of Chunying's mouth, she sat still.Of course she wasn't afraid of making a fuss, and when it got big, she just left.Now she is worried that it is Li You who is known to others, and she just wants to cause him some trouble!

Li You naturally knew this truth, and gave Li Xia a hard look: "Hurry up and drive away the outsiders! What do you look like?!" Li Xia responded in fear, and ran out in a hurry. Chunying glanced at it, as if someone from the Ming Dynasty had seen ET.

Chunying heard the voices outside gradually dissipating, and Li Xia lingered outside the door again, not daring to come in again, so she said flatly: "Master Third, don't you have anything else to say? Please forgive me if you have nothing to do with me." After finishing speaking, she stood up I'm leaving.

Li You yelled: "Stop!" He stepped forward to block her way, staring at her: "I ask myself that I have treated you well. Although I have annoyed you before, I neither beat nor scolded you. I have never cared about my temper, now I need your help with something, you can just refuse, it is too much to block me with these words!"

Chunying said with a straight face: "You said I was too much, why not review your own attitude first! I don't ask you to be humble, at least you have to be gentle. Your attitude makes me uncomfortable, and it's still like this. Offending people! Third young master, I said you are unreasonable, but I really did not wrong you!"

Li You gritted his teeth: "I want to hear, why am I so unsophisticated?! I never told you to do nothing! What's more, Hu Wangshan has his own way, and it is not difficult to hide it from others. It may not be known that it is him. Handed it in. In this way, our family got out of the predicament, and he also made great contributions. It is easy to say that he will flourish in the future. If it is not for you, I would not have approached him, but you still refused ?! I thought you were a sensible person, but now it seems that you are nothing more than that, which is really disappointing!"

"Since it's a matter of mutual benefit, why didn't you find Prince Jing's mansion? Even Lord Hou didn't show up, there must be something wrong! Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?!" Chunying looked at Li You mockingly, " Third young master, you just praised me for being smart, and it's too ridiculous to treat me as a fool in a blink of an eye, right?"

Li You held back his breath: "I won't tell you anything, I just want to ask you a question, do you want to help or not?!"

"Don't help!" Chun Ying said decisively, "Your royal relatives, relatives, and generations of lords dare not take on the responsibility. Why should we call it the burden of our small family?! You have drawn a big cake, but it is empty. Yes, let people know after the fact that your family has noble relatives and great contributions. There is nothing wrong with it, but we are hated to death. I don’t know who will plot against it. I’m still dreaming! Third young master, You are used to being superior, and you never put the lives of the people below you in your eyes. Besides your wife and yourself, who else do you care about?! You don’t even care about your wife and children, let alone me who only served you. Your little girl who has been working for a year?! I don't believe you!"

Li You stared at Chunying, his face was livid with anger, and he almost pointed his hand to her face: "You...you...you dare to say that?!"

Chunying raised her head: "Why don't I dare?! Who do you think you are?! Who do you think I am?! Do you think I will obediently let you manipulate me?! It's a big deal!" She took off the golden hairpin on her head , turned around and walked out: "If you dare to ask someone to stop me, I will stab you right! Even if someone dies, I am not afraid of going to court. Let's see who is more troublesome!" Who is afraid of whom?Now the Hou Mansion is in more trouble, okay? !
Li You was stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Good girl, good sister, don't!"

"Why are you stopping me?! Be careful I'll poke you!" Chunying raised her hairpin and glared at him fiercely.

Li You was angry and impatient, and there was nothing he could do about her. He had never met such a bold woman who actually said that she would rather hurt someone and go to court than do him such a small favor.Why didn't I find out that she was such a person before? !Do you really want to give up?

His eye circles are red. These days, he has already endured a lot of pressure. On the one hand, he has to hide it from his father, and on the other hand, he has to quietly find reliable people. However, both his mother and his wife only care about their own small plans. People think about him.If it wasn't for the fact that he still has the identity of the future master of the Hou Mansion, even the servants in the mansion might not be able to suppress him.However, today his self-confidence was hit even harder. He found that he couldn't even control a little girl from the past, but he couldn't do anything about her. The few days of hard work were wasted, and everything returned to the original point. They even have to face the severe situation after the news leaks.How did things get to this point? !
Li You angrily kicked over the round stool next to him, suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "You said that I don't care about anything except my wife and myself, and you said that I am filial and foolish, why do you say that? You don't believe me, is it because you heard about the things in the mansion?! That's right, you came here at the invitation of Xiru, and you learned a lot from Diaolan. Before entering the mansion, you even asked Shier Needless to say, I have heard a lot of gossip. That girl Diao Lan knows how to complain for her young lady, and Shi'er has a grudge against my mother. It's not difficult to guess what they will say. You keep it in your heart first. It’s because of prejudice that I can’t be trusted, right?!”

Chunying snorted softly, but didn't answer, she thought to herself, "If you know it, then you don't need to ask any more questions."

Li You gritted his teeth with hatred: "You also have a grudge against my mother, so you are fighting for Fan Xiru? Hmph, there are quite a few people in the house who have this idea, which shows how good she is at buying people's hearts! But don’t forget, my mother insisted on marrying her at the beginning. How could she not love her daughter-in-law after looking forward to it for so long?! Although I don’t like her temperament, she is also a first-time spouse and a relative. When it comes to love and respect, there is no lack of respect. It was Fan Xiru who failed our good intentions! From the moment she entered the door, she took power wholeheartedly, forcing my mother to lie in the room and get angry. On the surface, she seemed to respect my grandmother very much. , In fact? Grandma is seriously ill, she doesn't want to wait in front of the hospital bed, she only knows to go out to socialize every day, so as to intercede for her father and uncle! I have respect for her, but she never cares about my affairs. I There is a headache, she just asks the girl to come to see me, what kind of medicine do I take, and whether I can sleep peacefully, has she asked?! With her exquisite skills when she was not married, even if she is pretending, it is fine. Apart from acting in front of outsiders, she doesn't even bother to do superficial work in private, how can people not be angry?! Since she has no heart for me, how do you ask me to respect her?!" After a pause, her face became more gloomy "What's even worse is that it's obvious that the Fan family colluded with the rebellious party, and the Fan family was accused of corruption and dereliction of duty. What will happen to our family! With our family's merits and the face of our second uncle, how can the emperor believe that our family has an old relationship with the rebellious party? It's just a warning! She insisted on going her own way and put our family in such a difficult situation. Acting as if we owed her, what a good wife!"

Chunying didn't know that there were so many inside stories here, and it sounded like Fan Xiru had something to be wrong, but she thought about it again, no matter which of the couple they are, of course they will only talk about things that are beneficial to them, who is who? No, how could she, an outsider, know?Still don't mind your own business.

She didn't open her mouth, but Li You seemed to open the door to talk, and simply said happily: "The more my father hates my mother in recent years, the more he deliberately favors the Fan family, so he treats Fan Xiru very well, and he even told me in private that if my mother If you dare to mess around again, you will have to divorce your wife! How can I be embarrassed by this?! I know that my mother has done a lot of wrong things in the past, and she is often confused on weekdays, but she is my biological mother after all, and she has been in charge of this family for more than 20 years. There is hard work without credit?! How can there be such a reason in the world to abandon her for the sake of my daughter-in-law?! Without her, how can I gain a foothold in this mansion?! Fan Xiru is my wife, I have suffered, Could it be that she has gained power?! She doesn't even understand this truth, she just suppresses my mother blindly, thinking that she has been wronged by marrying into the Li family, how do you ask me to understand her?!"

Chunying opened her mouth, but didn't speak.It was originally An's fault that the villain's boudoir forced someone to marry him, but in Li You's view, he definitely would not agree with this statement.

Sure enough, Li You said again: "Although the Fan family is an aristocratic family, to put it bluntly, it is just a prominent family in the local area. It is not the same as the big families in Beijing. Her father has the highest official position in the family, and he is only the governor of a province. It wasn't that our family was acting for him, he couldn't even get this official position! Her third uncle's job in the Western Affairs Department also got the glory of our family's fleet. She married into our Li family, not only did she not suffer wronged, but also I got benefits. I know she is not reconciled, what she wants to be is the daughter-in-law of the palace! But she doesn't think about it, although the old prince is confused, he is not a fool, how could he give her family so many benefits?! The second son of the palace My wife is even more of a mediocre person. If you can't be civilized, you can't be successful, but your status is higher than mine. What can she be wronged?!"

The more Li You thought about it, the more unwilling he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved. He didn't care about Chunying's reaction, and vomited bitterly: "I shouldn't have followed the elders' wishes and married her in the first place! A virtuous wife is less of a misfortune. Now it seems that, Even a girl from a small family is better than her! So what if she knows how to be a housekeeper? If her mind is not right, the rest is false! Her father's crime is too great, I advise her not to force her to get away with it, and she can save her life It's a blessing. She doesn't believe in it, but also wants to save people and keep her official position. She doesn't even want to let go of her uncle's job. If I don't deal with it harshly, the Hou family will be burned! It's not that I'm ruthless and disregarding Yue's family, there is really nothing I can do It's gone! If something happened to her natal family, I will be ashamed, and my father and sister will also be ashamed. Do you think I am happy?!"

Chunying couldn't help but interjected: "Since that's the case, why don't you explain it to her?! It's the same with persuading Lord Hou. Even if Lord Hou values ​​the Fan family more, there is no reason to sacrifice your own family for his family's sake." .”

Li You covered his eyes with his hands, and said in a low voice: "Father was assigned a hard job by the emperor a few months ago. He is so busy that he can't even go home. He has slept in the yamen a few times, and sometimes he has to go out of town. If the errand is done well, it is not credit, and if it is not done well, it is a crime. I don't know if the emperor arranged it intentionally. My father didn't dare to be careless at all, so he entrusted me with the affairs of the Fan family. How dare I bother Him? My mother has been embarrassing Fan Xiru these days, and I was worried that someone would tell my father too much. It was so hard to hide it..." Gritting my teeth, "Fan Xiru doesn't understand my painstaking efforts at all, and my mother can't understand my feelings. Knowing that I want to teach my daughter-in-law a lesson, the fight between the two gave me a headache..." How could he be so miserable...

Chunying sneered: "Yes, this battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can be staged in every household, but it is rare to see such a scene." She glanced at Li You, "Third young master can talk about his difficulties, but the more I The more I listen to it, the more I feel that my eyesight was really bad when I was a child!"

Li You was stunned: "What did you say?"

"In the past, I saw that you had such scheming at a young age. You choked the second young master until you had nowhere to vent your anger, and you were so smooth in dealing with the old lady and the wife. I also benefited from it. I thought you were a fool." The smartest. But I didn’t expect the third young master to become more stupid as he grew older, and more confused as he grew older, so I sighed, my vision was too bad in the past!” Chunying looked at Li You’s face turning black again, and sneered: “Did I say Isn't that right? Lord Hou is not at home, the old lady is sick, you are the one who can be the master of the house! You are the future master of the Hou's mansion, it is time to show some courage! And what are you doing? You don’t know how to persuade your wife to embarrass your daughter-in-law regardless of the overall situation? The third young lady ignores the safety of her husband’s family for the sake of her mother’s family, don’t you know how to stop her?! You only know how to do your own business, and then lament that others don’t understand you, and even your own children are punished. You sacrificed, but you didn't take any action, and you said you were working hard?! Did you take responsibility?! This is your home, isn't it?! Only by self-cultivation and family can you govern the country and the world. It's ridiculous that you have held You pretend to be concerned about the country and the people when you are concerned about the country's major affairs, but in fact, you can't even handle your own small affairs well, so you still think you are so great!"

Li You's face turned pale with anger, staring at Chunying for a long time speechless.Chunying didn't care, and said directly: "Are you not convinced? Okay, let me tell you slowly. Let me ask you, you know that your wife is doing bad things, and even if you make a fuss in front of Lord Hou, there is still a possibility Being dismissed will affect your inheritance rights, so why don't you control her? The wife is just a woman in the inner court, and she has to rely on the people around her to do everything she wants. Are you really helpless? ? Don’t tell me no, then I will look down on you too much!”

Li You gritted his teeth and said: "Of course I have! Do you think I will let the old things happen again?! My mother now says that she has regained the power, but in fact it is just a trivial matter, and it is only a small matter that can make things difficult for Fan Xiru. In the gift, there is one more horse and one less medicinal material. Whether the color and pattern of the big clothes worn by the Xi family when they invite guests to the banquet at home is offensive to the elders. Mei Xiang, I've been in ambush for a long time, and the black boss is also listening to my orders. I still have the big and small stewards of the Wang family in my hand. If there is any change in my mother, I will know it before her order comes out! If there is something wrong, I will not follow it, only small things are for her to be happy with, and this is also a warning to Fan. Otherwise, why do you think I work so hard?!" He had to study, and he wanted to find a way to deal with the Fan family's affairs. Is it easy for him to guard against his mother? !

Chunying raised her eyebrows: "It doesn't look like it. When I came to the door today, I encountered several unruly things. My wife dared to shame the third young lady in front of outsiders. If I was a foreigner, the government The news of the feud between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has spread throughout the capital. Even if you don't care about these things, where are your people?!"

"What kind of a big deal is this? If I have to take care of these things, I might as well stick to the inner courtyard!" Li You gave up on himself, of course he knew about these things, but it's not like the people under him stopped doing nothing and just stared at them. For mothers and wives, it is inevitable that there will be times when they slip through the net.

Chunying snorted coldly: "What about your eldest daughter or eldest son? Don't tell me you don't care at all!"

Li You's eye circles turned red again. This incident caused him a deep pain in his heart. He blamed Fan Xiru for not caring about pregnant women and allowing others to take advantage of his loopholes, and also blamed his mother for disregarding his own flesh and blood for connivance. He gritted his teeth and said: " What can I do? By the time I know, the child is gone! Could it be that I still have to go after the birth mother?!"

Chunying sneered: "So, you are a fool! You are not a god, and the people under you are not all capable and thoughtful, so it is inevitable that you will be negligent! What's the use of just sending people to watch? Lord Hou has lost face over and over again, why can he still order moving people to do these things?! Isn’t it because of you, the son-in-law?! The third young mistress has only been married for a few years, she has no children, and she is not favored by her mother-in-law to support her One of the old lady and Lord Hou is sick, and the other is not at home, why can they still enjoy such prestige in the mansion?! Isn't it because she is your wife?! You are the foundation of their existence in this mansion, you just have to do it , can prevent them from making mistakes, if you don't take action, what's the use of complaining here?!"

Li You stared straight at Chunying, and squeezed out each word from between his teeth: "What did you tell me to do?! I stopped my mother, but she was crying and wanted to go to the clan to sue me for disobedience. I stopped Fan Xiru, and my father scolded me. I don't know what to do. You tell me what to do?!"

Chunying rolled her eyes: "Even Taishi Liang and King Ke were tricked by you, and the two women in the inner courtyard have stumped you. You just can't make up your mind, and you're just losing sight of the other! Just let them continue to fight." , When your children are not born one by one, your father divorces your mother, and the second young master comes back to compete with you for the crown prince. Duojue, family friends know that you have betrayed them and cut off ties with you. The Fan family blames you for not being able to keep their official position and turned against you. Prince Jing’s mansion blames you for ignoring your family and ignoring you. They all ran away, I want to see how you can survive in this world by yourself!"

(Tomorrow, I will be on my way during the day, so I will update it at night, please forgive me.)
