Chapter 235 I am confident

Cao Wenxing's tone softened: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known that you had a good relationship with the county lady, you could have gone back to your parents' home every day."

Yang Lian'er said aggrievedly: "How many words can you say to me in a day? I have to help with the work in the shop, and wash clothes and dishes when I get home. As long as I say I'm tired and want to rest, my mother-in-law will be unhappy immediately, and you also say I'm unfilial.

I want to talk to you, but you are either coaxing your baby son or coaxing that Mei'er. Have you ever looked at me? I haven't done so much work at my mother's house. Am I not filial enough?

What did Mei'er do all day? Besides showing off to me with her son, making fun of my poor pregnancy, and finding all kinds of reasons to make you stay in her room every night, what else did she do?

You only stay in my room a few nights a month, how can I have a child?"

Yang Lian'er felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and finally she expressed all the grievances in her heart, and she couldn't stop crying.

Cao Wenxing sighed inwardly, Mei'er was very clingy, but she knew how to serve people. Every time she served him, he felt very comfortable, especially after giving birth to a child, her figure became more plump.

Yang Lian'er didn't have much fun and didn't have a good time with Mei'er, so naturally she didn't want to go to her room.

But now, the county lady and Yang Lian'er have such a good relationship. What if she goes to complain to the county lady, and the county lady whispers something in the county lord's ear, and they stand up for Yang Lian'er, wouldn't it be like punishing their grandsons?

Especially since this county magistrate brought down the Qian family.

Then can they still be good?

No, we have to keep Yang Lian'er calm right now.

He smiled gently, and said with a distressed look on his face: "Lian'er, I know you have suffered. My parents are old, and you are filial and share my burden. I am very grateful to you. Now I know that you don't say you are wronged, but you just don't want to embarrass me. I promise that I will definitely treat you well in the future and never let you suffer any grievances again."

Yang Lian'er snorted coldly and threw down the curtain.

I sighed in my heart, thinking that her mother was so smart to come up with such an idea.

When they arrived in the town, Cao Wenxing drove the donkey cart directly to a jewelry store and asked Yang Lian'er to go in and pick out a piece of jewelry as an apology to her.

Yang Lian'er didn't expect the effect to be so good. If not now, when would she buy it?

She didn't hesitate and went in to choose a gold hairpin. However, she also knew her limits. If she chose one that was too expensive, even if Cao Wenxing bought it for her for Li Wanyue's sake, he would still feel bad for the money and think she was too greedy.

So she chose a decent one and spent six taels of silver, so that Cao Wenxing could afford it and would feel that he was not greedy.

Then Cao Wenxing bought her some snacks to take back.

The donkey cart entered the Cao family's home. Mother Cao held her eldest grandson in her arms, her face long and serious: "Oh, you are so arrogant. As a daughter-in-law, it's ok for her to go back to her parents' home every now and then, but she actually wants someone to pick her up. This is not marrying a daughter-in-law, this is marrying an ancestor. Whose daughter-in-law is so free?"

Mei Er also chimed in: "That's right, my husband has been tired all morning, and he didn't even have time to rest, and now he has to go pick someone up. Aren't you afraid of tiring him out? There's no one to wash the clothes, and no one to clean up the house. I don't know how my mother's family taught me."

Yang Lianer's good mood faded a little. Before, she didn't have the confidence and could only curse in her heart. Why should she endure it now?

She retorted, "After I married into the family, everyone saw what I did. The neighbors around me also knew it. It's okay if my mother-in-law said that about me, but who are you? You are just a concubine. How dare you talk nonsense in front of me, the legal wife? Is there such a law? If you dare to do this again, I will go to the county government and ask the county magistrate if there is such a thing."

Cao Wenxing immediately stepped forward to persuade her: "Lian'er, don't be angry, I'll ask her to apologize to you."

Turning to look at Mei'er: "Lian'er is my legal wife. I can see how hard she works in this family. How dare you say that to her? Why don't you apologize to Lian'er?"

Mei'er didn't expect Cao Wenxing to protect Yang Lian'er. She stamped her feet fiercely: "You actually asked me to apologize to her? Are you still my husband?"

Cao Wenxing winked at her, but ever since she followed Cao Wenxing, Mei'er had always been spoiled by him and would never bow her head.

Yang Lian'er said, "Forget it. Mei'er is my husband's favorite. How could she apologize to me? Maybe she is right. I will go to the county government office tomorrow to ask the county magistrate. If she is right, I will apologize to her."

Cao Wenxing's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately pulled Mei'er over, pressed her head and made her bend over, then whispered in her ear, "Apologize quickly, or our Cao family will be in trouble."

Mei'er didn't know why he said that, and apologized reluctantly.

After standing up, he saw the golden hairpin on Yang Lian'er's head, and immediately felt even more aggrieved.

Just as he was about to say something, Cao's mother yelled, "Enough, what are you doing? You're always making trouble. Yang, there are so many things to do at home. It's fine if you go back to your parents' home, but you shouldn't let Wenxing go to pick her up. It takes so much time to go back and forth. Who will do the work?"

Yang Lian'er said with a guilty look on her face: "Mom, I'm sorry, I was just in a hurry to go back and twisted my foot, so I thought of asking my husband to pick me up. I won't do it again in the future. I'll go wash clothes now."

Cao Wenxing immediately held her wrist and said, "Lian'er, your feet are uncomfortable. Go back to the house and rest. I'll bring you some food later."

"Thank you for your understanding, my husband, but my mother said..."

"It's okay. You're taking a rest because your feet are uncomfortable. Mom will understand you."

"Okay." Yang Lian'er turned around and went back to the house.

Mei'er stamped her feet, whimpered as she walked up to Cao Wen and said, "My husband, you actually bought her such an expensive hairpin. I only have one, and I bought it after I gave birth to a son. She can't even give birth to a child, and you actually bought her such a good hairpin. I don't care, you have to buy me another one."

Mother Cao frowned and said, "Why buy anything? You already have a gold hairpin. My son also bought you several silver hairpins before. Why do you want to buy more? You are a concubine, don't be ungrateful."

Mei'er stopped talking immediately. She was still afraid of her mother-in-law.

After Cao's mother finished speaking, she looked at Cao Wenxing and said, "Xing'er, tell me, what's going on?"

Cao Wenxing told her mother about Li Wanyue, and her eyes lit up immediately: "Really?"

"It's absolutely true. The Chen family in our town always said that his son-in-law was the county lady's cousin. I think his name was Li Xiangyu. He studied at Qingshi Academy and used to show off at our house.

Lian'er and the county lord have a good relationship now. Mother, please don't let her do so many things in the future, lest she goes to play with the county lord one day, or the county lord meets her, and she complains to the county lord, then our family can't stay in Anping County anymore."

Mother Cao nodded: "I understand. You should also persuade Lian'er to stop talking nonsense in front of the county lady. When there is time, let her take you to pay respect to the county lady and the county lord."

"I know."

Mei Er said dissatisfiedly: "What about me?"

"Mei'er, I've been with you a lot in the past, much more than Lian'er. After all, she is my legal wife. You've already given birth to a son, so I have to let her have a child as soon as possible. Otherwise, she will resent our family and go to complain. Then our Cao family will have a hard time. You don't want to see our family get into trouble, do you?"

Mei'er bit her lip unwillingly, but didn't know what to say.

She finally got out of the brothel and left the Cao family, but she had nowhere to stay.

I cursed Yang Lian'er secretly in my heart, what a blessing it is for that bitch to know the county lady and have such a powerful backer. Will she still be able to live a good life in this family in the future?

Cao Wenxing said, "I have always been very good to you, so you should think about me, right? You are the most sensible one, take good care of the child. These days, mother has been taking care of the child at night, and she has lost weight. It's just right that you take care of the child for a few days, so that mother can have a rest. I will accompany you later."

Mei'er stomped her feet and went back to the house carrying the child.
