Chapter 8 Proposal for Separation
Zhu Mingqing's lips curled up into a smile, and he whispered in her ear: "Mother has quite a bit of silver. Where do you think she hides it? If you want to eat, just give her some silver in exchange."
Song came back to her senses, her eyes widening: "How dare you even think about it..."
"Shh—be careful, the walls may have ears."
Song immediately shut up, stamped her feet in anger, and then turned and left.
Seeing her return empty-handed, the old princess looked grim, "Why, she won't give it to me? This is outrageous!"
Song looked at her third sister-in-law and whispered, "Mother, you have hidden all the money in the mansion, right?"
The old princess's eyes changed, and she looked alert: "Why are you asking this?"
"It's my sister-in-law. She said if she wants to eat, just give her money and buy it." Song Shi didn't say that she wanted to eat. "Mother is weak and needs to be nourished. If we have that money, we won't have to worry about anything on the way. Even when we reach the city gate, we'll have more than enough."
Beside her, Wu stretched her neck hard and only vaguely heard the word "silver". Her eyes lit up instantly.
She stood up and came over: "Mom, are you tired? How about I massage your shoulders?"
After saying this, he pressed it down hard without waiting for the old princess to reply.
“Ouch—”
A scream echoed through the mountains and forests, and the old princess was sweating profusely.
…
"Grandfather, eat slowly." Luo Huai saw that he was eating too fast and immediately handed him the water bag.
Old Prince Luo ate with relish. If he could have such delicious food every meal, his exile would not be in vain.
"Huai'er, you should eat something to fill your stomach."
Luo Huai shook his head: "I'm not hungry."
After he finished speaking, a meal appeared in front of him.
The aroma filled my nose and my stomach growled.
Luo Huai blushed.
Zhu Mingqing pushed the bowl forward again, almost bringing it to his mouth.
"Eat it."
Luo Huai lowered his eyes and saw that the food in the bowl was hardly touched.
He gave the same excuse again: "I'm not hungry."
Zhu Mingqing couldn't help but laugh: "Are you sure you really don't want to eat?" As he spoke, his left hand tilted slightly...
Luo Huai immediately stopped her and asked anxiously, "Mother, are you not hungry or do you not want to eat?"
Zhu Mingqing rolled his eyes.
Nonsense, who wouldn’t be hungry after walking all day?
But she could still hold back. This meal would be useful, so she decided to go to the space for a snack in the evening.
She had a "you are the most important" expression on her face and said in a very serious tone: "Don't ask. This family can't live without you, so hurry up and eat."
Luo Huai's heart moved.
His mother would give him food even if she was hungry.
She seems to have really changed.
He likes his current mother.
Old Prince Luo turned around and looked at the empty bowl in front of him, his face flushed with embarrassment.
"Huai'er, I'm not worthy of being your grandfather. I actually ate all your food. Don't send me food anymore."
After saying that, he turned his head to the side and began to withdraw into himself.
This was Zhu Mingqing's first contact with his nominal father-in-law. In his memory, this old prince was very majestic and everyone in the mansion was afraid of him.
The original owner wanted to hide every time he saw someone.
I didn't expect that the old prince who was feared by everyone would look like this.
Luo Huai was about to persuade his grandfather when his mother slapped him on the head: "Eat quickly. If you have anything else, we'll talk later."
"Oh." He responded obediently, then picked up the chopsticks and took a bite slowly.
After that, they no longer cared about etiquette and finished the food in no time.
Zhu Mingqing smiled with satisfaction and said, "Just eat it."
"Are you full?"
Luo Huai was actually still a little hungry, but he nodded and said, "I'm full. Thank you, mother."
After saying this, perhaps feeling a little perfunctory, he continued, "No matter what you want in the future, you must tell me, I..."
Zhu Mingqing narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Let's not talk about the future. Mother needs your help with something right now."
Luo Huai: "...What's the matter?"
She cleared her throat and said sincerely, "You'll definitely support us splitting up and living separately, right?"
Why do we need Luo Huai’s support?
I’m afraid that if she really proposes to divide the family, and the children disagree, it will most likely not be possible.
Even if she could separate herself, the children were still there, and she would inevitably be involved with the second and third wives in the future.
Therefore, as long as Luo Huai is persuaded and the two children listen to Luo Huai, they can get rid of those people in terms of relationship.
As for the eldest brother, he is really disobedient. Let’s separate him out.
Luo Huai's eyes flickered slightly, and his voice revealed a bit of surprise: "Mother wants to split up the family?"
"What, you object?" Zhu Mingqing's eyes changed.
“No…how could it be…”
He was just shocked by this.
My mother used to listen to my grandmother the most, but now she wants to separate from her.
It seems that she has really changed.
Besides, how could he object? He was eager to divide the family.
"I object!"
An old but firm and powerful voice came from the side.
Old Prince Luo looked at his eldest daughter-in-law with sharp eyes.
Zhu Mingqing blinked, his expression very calm: "Why?"
But Old Prince Luo asked in surprise, "Are you not afraid of me anymore?"
Zhu Mingqing smiled and rationalized his response: "Father is a devoted and devoted father, defending our country. How could I possibly be afraid of you? I'm simply overwhelmed by your unwavering demeanor and dare not show the slightest disrespect."
It was the first time that Old Prince Luo was praised so directly in person, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
But after experiencing a lot, I soon recovered and felt much better than before.
He said earnestly, "Tingshan is gone. If I leave you guys alone, how are you going to live in the future?
Life on this road of exile is difficult. Only if our family supports each other can we reach the city safely.
Therefore, for your own sake and that of your children, you cannot split up the family."
Zhu Mingqing had guessed that he would say that. She had no shortage of food and drink, and she had plenty of money.
No one could reach the city gate, except her.
"No matter what happens in the future, I'm mentally prepared." Zhu Mingqing was very determined. "I must divide our family."
She turned to look at Luo Huai again, then walked to the side: "You, come with me."
Luo Huai watched her fearlessly express her thoughts, then turned around decisively. After a long silence, he looked at his grandfather again and said, "I'll go talk to my mother."
"Ah!" Old Prince Luo sighed, "Go and persuade your mother."
Luo Huai stood up and followed him, but before he could express his true thoughts, he felt something in his arms.
In the moonlight, he could see clearly that it was a stack of silver bills, each with a face value of one thousand taels.
Luo Huai's dark pupils couldn't help but shrink.
A lot of money...
Zhu Mingqing quickly retracted his words and smiled faintly: "You are so smart, you should be able to understand what mother means, huh?"
Luo Huai quickly came back to his senses. Although he didn't know the source of the banknotes, it was probably saved by his maternal grandparents or his mother.
Of course, we can’t give it to others for free.
"Don't worry, mother. I will have a good talk with grandfather."
Zhu Mingqing encouraged him, "You are indeed a good son to your mother. This family really can't live without you."
Luo Huai appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was stirred with ripples.
Seeing that the conversation was going well, Old Prince Luo thought that his eldest daughter-in-law had changed her mind. He was thinking about talking to his wife and other children and asking them to be nicer to the eldest family in the future.
