Chapter 19 Conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law

Su Lingxi was confused and wanted to hear the truth, but Su Xiaoxiao was a child after all. Her mind had long been attracted by the sour plum soup. She could only think about things related to the sour plum soup, so she had to give up.

However, Su Lingxi remembered this matter in her heart, hoping that one day Su Xiaoxiao could remember the name of that person so that she could avoid him.

Su Lingxi and her mother were playing with Su Xiaoxiao when a boy who looked to be eight or nine years old suddenly appeared with a smile on his childish face: "Mother, sister!"

Zhao Wanyue's bowl slipped from her hand. Wasn't this the voice of her son Changhe? Su Changhe was naughty since he was a child. When he was twelve years old, he was sent to Yulin Academy to study and was away from home all year round.

Zhao Wanyue looked at her son who had grown a head taller, and said tremblingly: "Didn't you say you would wait until autumn to come back? How come you are here today?"

Su Changhe explained: "The master would come to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, so he gave us a day off in advance so that we can attend the Liushui Qushang Poetry Meeting and gain some experience."

Since she knew that the children would suffer in the future or even lose their lives, Zhao Wanyue was worried every day. She wiped her tears and said: "Okay, okay, my children are back and will stay with their mother from now on. Our family is safe and sound, which is better than anything else. Changhe, come and see your sister."

"My sister is so cute. I'm finally a brother!" Su Changhe said happily. "I will protect you in the future!"

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyelids and said coldly, "Forget it. With your naughty personality, you play with those unruly dude every day, and finally become their plaything and suffer humiliation." Su Changhe

was stunned. Is his sister talking? But she didn't even open her mouth. But looking at his sister's contemptuous eyes, he felt that his sister looked at him like this.

When Zhao Wanyue heard this, she became anxious and her face changed immediately: "What have you learned in the academy? Have you caused any trouble for the teacher?"

Su Changhe said aggrievedly: "Mother, Yulin Academy has strict rules and regulations, and the teacher is extremely strict. How could my son cause any trouble? As for studying, my son has made some progress."

Su Lingxi knew her brother best. She also heard Su Xiaoxiao's thoughts and was worried about her brother, so naturally she had to give her a good scolding.

"Changhe, you are the only son in the family. You should study hard. The Su family will have to rely on you in the future. If you act naughty again, your eldest sister will be the first to disapprove."

When Su Changhe heard that his younger sister looked down on him and his mother and sister were like this, he said angrily: "Mother, sister, I just came back and my butt hasn't even touched the bench, and you are lecturing me. I would not have come back if I had known."

Zhao Wanyue softened her heart in the end. She took Su Changhe's hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. It's a rare occasion that you all come back today. Let's have a good family reunion."

Zhao Wanyue asked someone to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Liu didn't come because she was not feeling well. Zheng Yaxian had a quarrel with Su Bohao and was sulking alone in the room. The four of them ate this dinner happily.

If Liu hadn't come, Su Lingxi and Su Changhe would have to go to Liu's room to kowtow.

When Liu saw the two siblings, she was very angry. Su Bowen occupied the position of the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, and all his children were well-dressed and well-fed. But poor Caidie from her family had suffered so much, and now she still lives in such a small yard.

But her face was still very kind: "My darling grandchildren, you are finally back. Your mother is too cruel. In order to curry favor with the Queen Mother, she sent you to the deep palace where you couldn't see anyone. And you, Changhe, you can study anywhere, but you have to go to Yulin Academy, which is far and hard, and you have lost weight."

Su Lingxi was older and more sensible after all. She sat next to Liu and said: "Lingxi knows that grandma loves me, but It was the Queen Mother who spoke, and mother couldn't help it no matter how reluctant she was. I've learned a lot during these days with the Queen Mother."

Su Changhe was different. Liu used to suppress Su Bowen and spoiled Su Bohao, but ended up spoiling Su Bohao. As soon as Su Changhe was born, she was too arrogant and developed a lot of bad habits, otherwise Zhao Wanyue would not have sent him to study so far away.

He pulled Liu to act coquettishly, feeling wronged: "Grandmother loves me the most. As soon as I come back, mother and sister scold me for not making progress. I want to rest in grandma's yard today."

Zhao Wanyue knew that he was close to his grandmother, so she went back by herself.

Zhao Wanyue knew that Liu had evil intentions, but it was not easy for her to snatch him away directly, so she had to let Su Changhe stay first, thinking of bringing him back early tomorrow morning.

Su Changhe had been in Yulin Academy for a year, and he had corrected a lot of his bad habits. He even went to review his lessons early. Liu was unwilling to accept this, and Su Bohao happened to come to her to ask for money, so Liu immediately had an idea.

She said with a cold face: "It's not that I can't give you this money, but you have to do something for me."

Su Bohao heard that there was a way, and without asking what it was, he agreed without asking: "Mom, I will do whatever you arrange for you, even

if I have to go through hardships." Liu said lightly: "It's not a big deal. Changhe is back. A good person has been forced to become a nerd. Take him out to play."

Su Bohao was embarrassed: "Mom, it's not appropriate for a little kid like him to go to the place I'm going."

Liu scolded, "It's not appropriate for him to ask for my money either!"

Su Bohao had to compromise, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll take him. If my sister-in-law blames you, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!"

Liu gave him the money and reminded him, "Take Changhe out for a few more days before coming back."

Su Changhe was a child after all. How could he not be happy that his uncle took him out to play? He followed Su Bohao out at night.

The next day, Zhao Wanyue came to pick him up, but Liu didn't even let her in, saying that Changhe was tired after so long and let him rest for a few days.

Zhao Wanyue was feeling uneasy and rushed in directly, but there was no sign of Su Changhe in Liu's yard. Zhao Wanyue asked the servant and found out that Su Changhe was given to Su Bohao by the old lady to play. Zhao Wanyue

was furious and went directly to Liu to argue: "Mother, Changhe is a naughty child. He finally went to Yulin Academy to learn some manners. How could you let my second brother take him out to play?" Liu didn't feel

guilty either. She stiffened her neck and scolded: "Zhao Wanyue, all these years, I always thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious. Not only did you use underhanded tricks to seize the power of the Marquis' Mansion, but you even didn't let me see your grandson. Are you impatient for the position of the Duke's wife? Son, come, kill me, and this position will be yours."

Zhao Wanyue was worried about her son, and didn't care about anything else, and directly said: "Why is mother so unreasonable? Mother-in-law wants to manage the household, right? From today on, I will not be in charge of the Marquis's business, and mother can arrange the expenses of the Marquis's house by herself. As for Changhe, he is my son, how I manage him, and I won't bother you in the future."
