Chapter 130 I guess they won’t grow up
The second and third wives of the Bu family were so happy that they almost jumped up when they saw that the other party was willing to see them, especially the second wife. You know, his son was about to be sentenced to death at that time, and they used up all their money and hired many people to delay the execution until the autumn.
As soon as the people from the second house were brought to the front hall, they knelt down in tears, "Brother and sister-in-law, we are so lucky you didn't die. When we heard the news that you died in battle, we chanted sutras and prayed for you to be well over there every day for two years. We really didn't dare to delay for a single day."
"Fortunately, the Buddha sensed our piety and finally sent you back."
The third wife also cried, "Brother and sister-in-law, you have to take care of your daughter for us. When she came back a few months ago, we felt sorry for her as an orphan and wanted to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to take care of her, but we didn't expect her to break off relations with us and almost drive us to death."
"If you don't come back, I'm afraid our two families will have to go down to reunite with you."
Bu Huaicang sat in the upper seat and looked at them coldly, "Really? So our safe return wasn't due to Ruo'er risking her life to save us, but rather to your prayers and blessings? Then tell me what you did in the past two years when Ruo'er wasn't back, and what you did after she came back."
"What on earth have you done to force my precious daughter to ask to be removed from the family tree and sever ties with you?"
The people from the second and third rooms were stunned. This wasn't right. In the past, whenever they came to cry and complain, their stupid eldest brother would almost always grant their requests. Why was it different this time?
It must be that little bitch Bu Ruo who said something nonsense that made Big Brother ignore them.
"Brother, don't listen to what others say. What we said is true. It was Ruo'er who insisted on severing ties with us without any reason. We really just wanted to take care of her."
Yan Xiyue looked at their shameless appearance and wanted to slap them twice.
"Humph, taking care of Ruo'er? That's nice of you to say. But before Ruo'er came back, you took away all the money in the mansion, leaving everyone in the mansion without money to live. Is that also to take care of Ruo'er?"
The second wife was shocked, but continued to argue: "Sister-in-law, we really did it for Ruo'er. We were afraid that after you were gone, the people in the mansion would embezzle the money, so we kept it for Ruo'er temporarily."
"Really?" Yan Xiyue said sarcastically, "Then why did you all try to hold back when Ruo'er came back to ask for the money? You even colluded with the clan leader and said that if you could live in the Zhenguo Mansion to take care of Ruo'er, you wouldn't have to pay the money back?"
"If Ruo'er hadn't insisted on going to the authorities if she didn't return the silver, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to get it back now. That silver was given to me by the Emperor for the General's Mansion. Even if we die, it will belong to Ruo'er. How can you keep it?"
"I used to think that you share the same blood with me, so I always wanted to give you more so that you could live a better life. But I never thought that my kindness over the years would make you think I was easy to talk to. You even dared to bully my daughter when we were not around!"
"Even after Ruo'er became the Princess of Zhan, you still shamelessly came to cause trouble. You... you really deserve to die!"
Just when the second and third wives were speechless, the doorman came to report that the old lady of the Bu family had arrived.
When Bu Huaicang heard this, his blood boiled and he shouted angrily, "Let her in!"
Not long after, an old lady with a cane and meticulously combed hair walked in.
Bu Ruo sat aside and kept clicking his tongue in his heart. It seemed that the second and third wives were really unable to sit still, otherwise why would they bring their own mother from their hometown, and at such a fast speed, without worrying that the old bones would be broken on the way.
He has triangular eyes, cold lips, and is full of calculations. It is obvious that he is not a good person.
"Huai Cang... I finally see you. Bu Ruo's behavior is too outrageous..."
"How dare you!" Bi'er scolded, "You, a concubine, call yourself the old lady in public, and even dare to call our princess by her name. Don't you want to live?"
Bu Ruo picked up the teacup and said calmly, "Wang, you should respectfully address my father as the Duke of Zhenguo. Also, I am the princess, so you should bow to me."
Wang knocked her cane and said, "You are the princess, but I was married to you by your grandfather. I am also your half-grandmother. How dare you ask me to bow to you?"
Bu Ruo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, your subject, your subject. I am the princess and the county lady. You are not even a subject, just a commoner. How could I not dare to ask you to bow?"
"And what you said is not true. You were not married into the family by my grandfather. The only person my grandfather married formally was my father's biological mother, my grandmother. You... at best, you were carried in."
"You're so arrogant, you're just a concubine, but you really think you're something. As expected, like things give birth to like things!"
"You...you..." Wang pointed at Bu Ruo and almost fainted with anger. You know, although Bu Huaicang's family was not very close to her in the past, they had never pointed at her nose and scolded her like this.
"Who are you talking to here? You have no manners! Bi'er, slap your face!"
Bi'er was a martial artist. She walked over quickly and slapped Wang to the ground. Two of her already sparse teeth fell out.
"You dare to hit me? Huai Cang, your daughter relies on her status as a princess to have someone hit me, do you care?"
The coldness in Bu Huaicang's eyes was almost overflowing: "Wang, Ruo'er is right, you should call me the Duke of Zhenguo."
"Also, the Bu family only has one old lady, my mother. Even if she is gone now, it is not your turn as a concubine to point fingers here."
"Why don't you tell me what you're here for today? And don't come again. After all, our branch has been removed from the family tree, so we're no longer considered family."
Seeing this, Wang knew that she could not use her status as an elder to argue, so she could only kneel on the ground obediently.
"Yes, I said the wrong thing. I came here today to ask the Duke of Zhenguo to save your nephew. He was framed and sentenced to death. I hope General Bu can rescue him. After all, he is a descendant of the Bu family."
Bu Huaicang had been upright his entire life, and even hearing Wang's words made him laugh in anger: "He was wronged? How was he wronged? Was he wronged for stealing someone's fiancée, or was he wronged for beating someone to death?"
"In my opinion, this man should be executed immediately. If he is executed later, it would be considered as a benefit for him to live longer."
The second wife looked at him in shock: "Brother, how can you say that? After all, you watched him grow up."
Yan Xiyue knocked on the table and said, "No, it's you who bring him here every now and then to ask for money. We didn't see him grow up. If he stays like that under our noses... I guess he won't grow up."
