"How dare you not even come to greet me before returning home? You've grown up, and you really don't take me, your mother-in-law, seriously!?"
The old woman sat on the chair and acted majestically. Even the finest makeup could not hide her haggard face caused by lack of sleep.
With the little troublemaker props, I guess my mother-in-law hasn't been having a good time these days.
So he had to find a way to torture Qiao Luoluo to vent his anger.
Qiao Luoluo lowered her eyebrows and said amiably, "Mother, please calm down. I came here before I left, but you hadn't gotten up yet. I didn't dare to disturb you, so I had to go back first.
I have asked your maid to convey this to you. I hope your mother will forgive me."
The old woman's face trembled a little, and she sneered, "Really? How come I didn't know about this?
Are you eager to go home and want to use the things from the Marquis' Mansion to honor your family?
I heard that you took away a lot of things by taking and asking for more.
Our mansion is not stingy, but we can't afford to have you move so many truckloads of things out!"
She sneered and waved at the maid beside her, "These days, we have spent a lot of money to arrange the prince's marriage and to bribe officials everywhere, and she is still so ignorant and makes such a big fuss.
Hanchun, go check the storehouse to see what's missing, and deduct the silver from her dowry."
"yes!"
Qiao Luoluo quickly said, "Mother, you are wise. Those things were prepared for me by the prince. I didn't mean to take them!"
"The prince didn't want to marry you, and everyone knows how you married into the Liang family!
I kept you because you're pretty and fertile. If you dare to say anything bad to me again, I'll let the prince divorce you!"
Qiao Luoluo's eyes suddenly turned red and she didn't dare to say anything more.
It was obvious that the mother-in-law came for her dowry and tried every means to swallow it all.
Haha, so funny.
Originally, the matter of changing the bride was arranged by Qiao Wendao's family of three, and they had no intention of marrying their truly beloved daughter.
How could he give her a good dowry?
Only three boxes of silver and cloth were valuable, the rest were just inflated.
Qiao Luoluo had already found an opportunity to put the money into the space.
Seeing Qiao Luoluo's silence, the mother-in-law knew that she had her under control.
He took a sip of tea with increasing pride, but had no intention of letting her go.
"Before returning home, you didn't pay your respects to your mother-in-law, which is a violation of the rules of the Marquisate. Go stand in the sun for three hours to reflect on yourself and understand your status.
So that you don’t lose sight of yourself and still think you are the spoiled young lady you once were.”
Qiao Luoluo acted submissive and didn't dare to resist at all.
The mother-in-law sneered and thought that this vixen should be exposed to the sun.
Of course she knew that those things were prepared for her by Liang Yuxiao and came from Liang Yuxiao's private vault.
That's why she was even more angry.
She felt that Xiao'er had begun to feel sorry for her.
Men are all like this, they say they only love you, but when they see someone who is more beautiful than you.
Isn't it still the same as before?
For example, this time, even she herself did not expect that her son would use her private treasury.
Let this delicate-skinned bitch get some sun and turn her fair skin into as dark and wrinkled as the maid at home.
Xiao'er won't be snatched away by her!
At this moment, Qi Xiuyuan, who had been silent the whole time, could not help but come forward and said in a cold voice, "Old Madam, my young lady is already weak, and she has become much thinner after praying at Sanqing Temple for three days and eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures.
She can no longer bear the scorching sun. The afternoon sun is scorching. Does the old lady want to kill her?"
Qiao Luoluo was startled and quickly grabbed him, whispering, "What are you doing? I'm fine, really!"
The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Qi Xiuyuan.
He looked up and down at the strange little maid in front of him. She was tall and had pretty features.
It seems that she works hard frequently and is a bit stronger than an ordinary girl.
His eyes and eyebrows were sharp, and there was a sense of heroism and dominance.
There was a subtle sneer on the corner of his mouth, which made people feel cold!
The mother-in-law was very unhappy and sneered, "What kind of person is this? Are you qualified to teach me a lesson? This is your maid?"
The mother-in-law pointed at Qi Xiuyuan and asked.
Qiao Luoluo quickly said, "Mother, please calm down. My daughter-in-law bought this from a human trafficker. She's still young and doesn't know the limits. I will teach her a lesson. Please calm down!"
Qiao Luoluo knew that Qi Xiuyuan was worried about her.
But I didn't expect him to stand up for himself so directly.
It seems to be causing trouble, but in fact it creates opportunities.
The mother-in-law said disdainfully, "The maidservant is ignorant and should be properly educated. Come, give her fifty lashes. If she dies, send her away.
Qiao Luoluo, if you plead for him again, you will kneel in the yard until tomorrow morning."
Qiao Luoluo didn't hesitate and knelt down in front of her mother-in-law. "Luoluo is willing to kneel down and beg mother to spare Xiaoliu's life. How can a weak woman like her withstand fifty strokes of the cane? Please spare my life, mother, please spare my life!"
Qiao Luoluo desperately banged his head against the ground, making a teeth-grinding thud.
Blood soon appeared on his forehead.
However, the mother-in-law was not moved at all. She just looked at the priceless ring on her elegant finger.
Let her face be covered with blood.
Qi Xiuyuan hurried over to support her, but was pushed away by Qiao Luoluo, "Step back! What do you have to do with what the master says? Get out of here and go back to the yard!"
Qi Xiuyuan felt a little regretful and wanted to slap himself twice.
I stood up for her, but it only caused her to suffer more.
Yes, he is not the emperor now.
She is just a girl named Xiaoliu who was picked up from the street. She has no influence and no say at all!
The mother-in-law waved her hand and said, "Stop knocking. You're dirtying my place. Get out and kneel down. I'll still beat you with the stick.
When is it your turn to speak in this Marquis' Mansion?
Do you think you can do whatever you want? I'm not what you want. Come on, take him away and beat him up!"
Immediately, a servant took Qi Xiuyuan away and gave him a beating.
Qiao Luoluo ran up crying to stop them, but the maids held her down tightly and wouldn't let her move.
Qi Xiuyuan did not resist. He gritted his teeth and endured the beating without saying a word.
Heartbroken.
But, this is to teach him a lesson.
Tell him not to forget the forbearance he once learned, and not to force himself to take the lead when he does not have the ability.
Otherwise, it will harm both others and yourself.
Even when he was in the cold palace and suffered countless humiliations, he had never been so impulsive.
But today, when he heard that Qiao Luoluo was going to be punished to kneel, he didn't know why, but he suddenly did something stupid.
Qiao Luoluo didn't know where she got the strength from, she rushed forward crying and took several blows for Qi Xiuyuan.
The delicate girl screamed in pain, but refused to let go of Qi Xiuyuan's body.
The mother-in-law stood at the door and roared, "Pull her away and keep beating her! Beat this slave to death!"
Just as the yard was in chaos and the secret guards on the wall were preparing to take action.
Suddenly, an angry shout came from the door.
"Alright, stop fighting!!"
