Chapter 648 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
"What are you doing here?" Bai was sitting in the house. Ever since she couldn't stand up and half of her body was paralyzed, Bai was reluctant to go out and just wandered around in her yard.
When he saw the glamorous Mu Yinqiu, it seemed as if he was mocking her blindness!
"Of course I'm here to see my good mother-in-law!" Mu Yinqiu asked the maid to bring out some snacks and said, "I know you can't go out, so I brought some snacks for you."
"Humph, who cares?" Bai raised her hand and swept all the snacks to the ground. She pointed outside and said, "Get out! Get out!"
"Mother-in-law, how can I leave? I have to chat with you." Mu Yinqiu looked at her with a smile and said, "I went to the palace to see the Empress today. The Empress is really the same as before."
"No." Mu Yinqiu changed the subject and said, "The Queen is even more beautiful now than she was back then. As the Queen, she has become even more noble and elegant. What a pity..."
"Get out!" Bai smashed everything she could get her hands on. The more she tried to drive Mu Yinqiu away, the more he refused to leave.
Mu Yinqiu sat down beside her. Seeing Bai's empty hands, she smiled even more proudly. "It's a pity that I was so blind to break off the engagement back then. Otherwise, the prince wouldn't have been exiled to a remote place like Lingnan."
"That's not right." Mu Yinqiu paused, then corrected himself, "He wasn't exiled, but transferred to Lingnan to serve as an official. You should be happy for the Crown Prince; he finally has a proper job!"
"Mu Yinqiu!" Bai's facial features became ferocious with anger. Staring at Mu Yinqiu's smug face, Bai only regretted why she coveted the Mu family's noble status at that time?
"Mother-in-law, don't shout so loudly. Don't get excited. If you fall to the ground, I won't be able to help you up."
Mu Yinqiu smiled. Seeing Bai Shi so angry, the smile on the corner of her lips became even wider. "Don't be so angry. It's the prince's fault for not being so lucky."
"The Queen is a blessed daughter, and she won't marry into an unlucky family." Mu Yinqiu laughed self-deprecatingly, "Only someone as unlucky as me would go to such great lengths to get into the Song family. If I were given another chance, I would rather become a nun than enter the Song family!"
To Mu Yinqiu, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion was like a sea of fire.
When she first got married, the Mu family did not retire back to their hometown, so her life was pretty good. Although Song Mingyuan's heart was not with her, he would still give her, the main wife, face on the first and fifteenth days of the month!
Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Bai, treated her even better. Although not as close as her own daughter, at least Mu Yinqiu felt that she liked her. If it weren't for her mother-in-law's pressure, Song Mingyuan would probably not come to her on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.
Later, after my father retired and returned to his hometown, my mother-in-law's attitude changed. Song Mingyuan didn't even take her seriously on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, and he even disliked her for not having a family to help the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion!
Mu Yinqiu, the wife, became so angry that she fell ill. In the end, even her power as housekeeper was taken away. She was so seriously ill that she couldn't even get medicine and almost died!
Fortunately, she had a few loyal maids around her, and her father left some people with her, so she managed to survive.
Her mother-in-law was dissatisfied with her for not getting pregnant after half a year of marriage, so she brought concubines into the house one after another, and even sent the maid in the connecting room to Song Mingyuan's room.
Song Mingyuan didn't go to her room on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. At first, Mu Yinqiu complained to her implicitly, but her mother-in-law seemed not to hear her and even disliked her for not being able to hold her man's heart.
In the entire Yongchang Marquis Mansion, Mu Yinqiu, the Crown Prince's Consort, was not taken seriously at all. She watched Song Mingyuan take concubines one after another. During her time in the mansion, she had no children, no family, and no mother-in-law to support her!
Mu Yinqiu now doesn't dare to think about how she survived those days. The rice was cold and the charcoal was of the worst quality. She pawned her jewelry and dowry and sold them for some silver, and she managed to survive day after day.
It was not until last year when Song Mingyuan and the girl took a boat ride that Mu Yinqiu was truly heartbroken.
That day was her mother’s death anniversary!
She didn't ask Song Mingyuan to remember, but at least, Song Mingyuan shouldn't go out to seek pleasure and indulge in romantic affairs on this day!
When Mu Yinqiu set fire to the pleasure boat, she was completely desperate and even wondered why she had to continue living like this, until she met Xiao Jiuyue.
"cough."
Bai was so angry that she coughed violently. She looked at Mu Yinqiu and smiled, "Mu Yinqiu, even if you are in charge of the Marquis' Mansion now, what does it matter? Mingyuan doesn't have you in his heart at all."
"I don't care." Mu Yinqiu looked at her coldly and said, "Do you think I'm still a young girl who just married into the Marquis' Mansion? The prince is going to Lingnan, I can't contain my joy!"
"I am in charge of the Marquis' Mansion. I am the Crown Prince's Consort of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion. Now I work for the Empress. As long as I do a good job and gain the Empress's favor, I will become more and more glorious when I go out in the future."
Mu Yinqiu now just wants to do something glorious and honorable instead of being almost trapped to death in the Song family's backyard!
She wants to be the knife in the Queen's hand!
When investigating the list of girls' schools, Mu Yinqiu cherished her life even more. She didn't want to die, she wanted to live well, and she wanted to make her life more exciting.
When helping those girls, Mu Yinqiu felt that she seemed to have found the motivation to live again.
"Hahaha~" Bai raised her head and laughed, as if she was crying with laughter. She said, "Xiao Jiuyue is just lucky to have chosen the Third Prince. Otherwise, how could she have become the Queen?"
Bai would never admit that he had made a mistake!
If Bai had known that the Xiao family could be vindicated, she would never have canceled the engagement!
Bai took a deep breath, suppressing the countless regrets she had felt, and said, "Mu Yinqiu, I'm so sorry for you. Mingyuan has always had Xiao Jiuyue in his heart, but you actually work for Xiao Jiuyue?"
"Are you stupid, or are you out of your mind? Xiao Jiuyue doesn't even know how to mock you behind your back."
Bai used the most vicious words.
"You don't have to provoke me." If it were in the past, Mu Yinqiu would definitely be furious and cause trouble for Xiao Jiuyue again, but now, she can tell who is who and who is the ghost.
"The prince will be leaving for Lingnan in a few days. You'd better think carefully about how to see your good son off. After all, who knows whether you will be able to see him again in the future?" Mu Yinqiu said with a gloomy look.
Bai's face changed drastically, and when she found nothing to hit him, she started to overturn the table.
Mu Yinqiu had anticipated this and stood up immediately. Behind the silver bell-like laughter was Bai's curse.
After leaving Bai's courtyard, Mu Yinqiu had someone watch over her closely and forbid anyone to say anything that shouldn't be said. Now that the Yongchang Marquisate was firmly in her hands and her father-in-law didn't care about anything, she naturally didn't have to worry.
Returning to her own courtyard, Mu Yinqiu's mind echoed with Bai's provocative voice. She murmured, "The only one who would laugh at me is my mother-in-law, who looks disgusting but is kind-hearted."
As for Xiao Jiuyue... Mu Yinqiu didn't feel her ridicule, and vaguely felt that she seemed to have some sympathy?
