Chapter 733 Marrying Zhao Si
Hu Xin'er wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. "As you all know, I'm living a life of luxury now. My status is very different from before. What I hate most is seeing people suffering. Even if I see a beggar passing by, I usually give him a gold ingot."
When these words were spoken, both Liu's mother and daughter were so angry that their noses were crooked.
Liu Zhi touched her new earrings, which she bought with a gold ingot. She felt quite painful when she bought them, but in Hu Xiner's mouth, they became something to give to beggars. How could she swallow such humiliation?
She gritted her teeth and said, "If that's the case, the Second Princess is truly wealthy and powerful. She's truly enviable."
She emphasized the word "envy" with a hint of sarcasm. She flicked her handkerchief and sat down. "But our Liu family is also a wealthy family. Yi'er is a famous lady that everyone in the capital wants to marry. I'm afraid we don't need you to arrange a marriage."
Unexpectedly, Hu Xin'er laughed out loud without restraint, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes: "Oh, aunt, you are so funny. Just think of Yi'er's reputation... hehe..."
She smiled and leaned on Mu Qing's shoulder. "My dear husband, look, I heard from matchmaker Madam Zhou a few days ago that nowadays, even for a plum blossom viewing banquet or poetry gathering, invitations cannot be sent to the Liu Mansion."
She paused deliberately, her tone full of sarcasm, and then looked at Liu Yanchuo again: "Chuo'er is now considered one of the four great masters of the capital, but Yi'er? I'm afraid you can't even enter the door of a slightly more noble family, right?"
Mu Qing looked at his wife's delicate and artificial appearance, his face full of helplessness.
Liu Yanchuo felt that it was a bit irritating, but seeing how furious the Liu mother and daughter were, he couldn't help but give Hu Xiner a thumbs up.
To deal with scoundrels like the Liu mother and daughter, I still have to rely on this cheap cousin!
The last time they wanted to bring Old Master Liu back, the family of three was bullied by Liu's mother and daughter to the point that they couldn't even say a word. He wanted to retaliate, but was slapped in the face by his pedantic father.
I can finally let out this anger.
Old Madam Liu put down her teacup heavily. "It seems that today, you are not here to visit and reminisce about the past, but to humiliate my Liu family? Come, show me away!"
Liu Zhi felt ashamed when he heard his own daughter being humiliated like this. His voice trembled with hatred. "Get a stick and chase them out! You little bitch, you used to be so pretentious when you needed protection, but now you've finally shown your true colors. I'm going to have you beat to pieces!"
Facing the servants surrounding her, Hu Xin'er showed no fear at all. She simply sneered, "I am the princess. You want to beat me in public? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
She smiled coldly and said, "Come up if you're brave enough, and fight!"
The servants looked at each other and stepped back, fearing that she would reach out and try to scam them.
Seeing this, Hu Xin'er stood up calmly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the paintings and calligraphy and antiques in the mansion seem to have decreased a lot. Although I have severed ties with the Liu family, I still have to divide the property. You didn't secretly spend all the money while I was away, did you?"
"So this is your real purpose," Old Madam Liu banged her cane in anger, "Don't even think about taking a penny of our property!"
Liu Zhiyi screamed, "No, absolutely not! This money belongs to us. What right do you, an outsider, have to get your hands on it?"
She pointed at Liu Yanchuo and shouted, "Then I understand. You and this bitch teamed up to deceive my family, didn't you? If the old master knew, you unfilial son, he would definitely punish you!"
"How dare you mention my grandfather to me?" Liu Yanchuo had never seen such a shameless person. He said angrily, "Don't you know what my grandfather has been tortured into now? If he wakes up, you will be the first to be punished!"
A trace of guilt flashed across Liu Zhi's eyes. Seeing that her family was in the wrong and Hu Xin'er was clearly trying to bully them, her expression suddenly changed and two tears fell: "But no matter what, we are still family~"
She burst into tears, grief-stricken. "Chuo'er, don't you remember? I held you in my arms when you were little. When you were five, you always loved chasing Yi'er around to play. Now, just for a few pieces of property, are you going to bring our Liu family into eternal chaos?"
Liu Yanchuo was disgusted by her behavior and wanted to vomit: "I will return all these words to you."
Before he could finish, Liu Zhi started crying, "We are an orphan and a widow in this Liu family. We are not as respected as you, a princess and an official. If it weren't for the first wife, I would have found my ideal husband long ago. But you——"
Madam Liu also said with great sorrow, "When the old master was sober, what he hated most was the younger generation talking about money. I will never agree to your request to divide the family property. If he were still alive, he would not want to see you obsessed with money."
"Who are you who's obsessed with money?" Liu Yanchuo felt a chill in his teeth when he saw that they had believed without hesitation that he was here to divide the family property. "Grandfather is still ill, and you've sold off all of the Liu family's wealth, spending it extravagantly, and even taking on a new mistress. You're simply—"
At this time, Hu Xin'er yawned lazily: "Alright, you guys are just biting each other, so there's no need to bark in front of me. My mother has suffered here for so many years, and I deserve to get back my share of the family property."
She paused and smiled sweetly, but this smile looked extremely vicious in the eyes of Liu's mother and daughter.
She said in a clear voice, "By the way, I've already arranged Yi'er's marriage. The Zhao family's newly returned fourth son is a perfect match."
After saying that, she turned around decisively.
"Wait, explain it to me!" Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then hurried over. "What are you going to do to Yi'er? Why are you arranging a marriage for her? I'm telling you, you can't succeed. I absolutely don't agree to this marriage."
Just as her hand, painted with bright red nail polish, was about to grab Hu Xiner's sleeve, Mu Qing quickly grabbed her wrist and threw her to the ground.
"Ah!" She let out a heart-wrenching cry. "Hu Xin'er, I'm telling you, as long as I'm here, you can never think of returning to the Liu family, and you must never dictate to anyone in my Liu family!"
Hu Xin'er glanced back, her eyes cold: "Aunt, I'm afraid you can't disagree with this matter!"
She flicked her sleeves and walked into the snow, with her servants attentively holding an umbrella, a cloak, and handing her a small stove.
At this time, Liu Qingyi, who had been hiding behind the screen, couldn't help crying out loud.
She ran to the front of the hall and helped her mother up, her face, which was thickly painted with expensive makeup, was covered with tears. "Mom, Grandma, what should we do?"
She hurriedly cried, "That Zhao Si is a peasant from the countryside. No, I don't want to marry him!"
