Chapter 038 Wife VS Mother
Warm lips fell gently.
A strong masculine scent came into her nose.
"Close your eyes."
Xia Xue closed her eyes obediently and raised her chin instinctively.
Xia Xue felt a strange sensation on her eyelids.
After a while, the kiss that was supposed to come did not come, and the strong masculine scent was gone too.
Xia Xue secretly opened her left eye.
I saw Chu Zhenxuan had already sat back in his seat and started pouring tea.
Xia Xue's anger suddenly rose.
This stinky man is playing tricks on me!
See, it just needs to be dealt with.
If you don't clean up for three days, the tiles will fall off the roof.
There was a faint smile on Chu Zhenxuan's lips.
"Madam seems disappointed?"
Xia Xue:......
How could I be disappointed? You clearly told me to close my eyes!
"Madam, there is a piece of cotton wool on your eyes just now. Let me help you remove it." He said while pointing with his fingertips.
Xia Xue:......
Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?
Who is afraid of who? Next time I will be ruthless.
Xia Xue was very angry.
Suddenly, a force grabbed the back of her head.
With the great scent of tea filling her senses...
"Ahem, Mr. Prime Minister and his wife are in such a good mood."
An untimely sound interrupted the temporary beauty.
Xia Xue quickly pushed Chu Zhenxuan away.
My face is burning.
Chu Zhenxuan held Xia Xue in his arms and turned around with an unhappy face.
I saw the old lady standing at the door of Floating Cloud Pavilion with four or five maids.
"Greetings to mother." Chu Zhenxuan nodded slightly.
Xia Xue behind him also knelt slightly, "Greetings to mother."
"Do the Prime Minister and his wife still remember my mother? It's been a few days since I came back from Qingliang Mountain, but they didn't even let me, an old woman, see her."
"My son and his wife went to pay their respects to you as soon as they came back, but the receptionist said you were praying to Buddha."
The old lady's maids are divided into the inner room and the outer room. The inner room is naturally closer to her, while the outer room is responsible for handling matters related to going out and visiting. Generally, the housekeeper arranges all the maids in the mansion, but the old lady's status is different, so naturally she uses people she chooses herself.
Xiuxiang is the maid who serves the old lady in her outer room.
The old lady's face darkened.
Old lady: This brat is not coming back after being turned away once, right? ! !
Old Lady: Some people say raising a son is a way to prepare for old age, but I think raising a son is a way to prepare for my wife’s old age!!!
The old lady snorted coldly, "Mother was worried about you, so I had to come and see you."
"The showroom!"
Xiuxiang hurriedly walked forward, holding a hexagonal square box with a gold-rimmed edge and two layers.
"The Western Regions presented some good things as tribute, and the Queen Mother showed her pity and distributed some to the Prime Minister's Residence. I think this one is nice, so I'll give it to my wife."
Xia Xue was stunned for a moment.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
The old witch likes Li Tingting so much. I guess she must have heard about my great deeds in Qingliang Mountain. I beat Li Tingting so badly. She wouldn't want to avenge Li Tingting, right?
This hexagonal object is divided into two layers, so it is definitely unstable.
It was sent by the Queen Mother again.
If I accidentally broke it when I received it, I hope I won't be directly accused of being disrespectful to the Queen Mother.
"Why, do you despise the gift I gave you?" The old lady tapped her cane.
It's not that I look down on you, it's that I don't trust you.
What to do? Should we push Chu Zhenxuan out to take the blame?
Chu Zhenxuan shook her head. She was just too cautious as a little woman. How could her mother do such a thing?
She kept calling her an old witch. He would have to find time to give her a good “education”.
"Of course not, madam is just too happy." Chu Zhenxuan stepped forward and took the hexagonal box from the embroidery while speaking.
A flash of panic flashed across Xiuxiang's eyes.
"No" the old lady was about to stop him, but the box had already fallen into Chu Zhenxuan's hands.
At the same time, the box suddenly opened by itself, broke into two pieces, and was about to fall to the ground.
Chu Zhenxuan's body shook, and Xia Xue didn't see how he made the move. The next second, the other half of the box that almost fell to the ground lay safely in Chu Zhenxuan's palm.
Chu Zhenxuan's face changed color instantly.
See, I told you that the old witch wasn't that kind.
Chu Zhenxuan was probably also confused.
Well, this is the best way, so you can see clearly what kind of person his mother is.
Chu Zhenxuan: +40.
Chu Zhenxuan is in a bad mood, happy!
Chu Zhenxuan: +40+40.
Xia Xue covered her mouth with a look of shock, "Prime Minister, what are you doing? Even if you don't like the gift the old lady gave me, you can't destroy it!"
Chu Zhenxuan:......
Chu Zhenxuan: +40+40+40.
"Mother, please don't be offended. The Prime Minister has not yet adjusted to his current state since returning from Qingliang Mountain. He has been absent-minded. He has not even attended the morning court in recent days. Although he doesn't like the gifts you gave to your daughter-in-law, it probably wasn't intentional."
Xia Xue's words actually confirmed that Chu Zhenxuan did it on purpose.
The old lady's face turned even darker.
"It's okay, it's just a toy. If you don't like this one, mother will change it for another one."
"How can we do this? After all, it was sent by the Queen Mother. My husband is destroying something given by the Queen Mother. This is disrespectful to the Queen Mother. How about we go to the palace tomorrow to apologize?" Xia Xue's face was full of sincerity.
Chu Zhenxuan:!!!
Chu Zhenxuan: Woman, it’s good enough.
The old lady's mouth twitched fiercely. "The Queen Mother won't count all the gifts she gives. If you don't tell me, no one will know."
"How can that be? Isn't bullying the Queen Mother the same as bullying the Emperor?"
The old lady's eyelids rolled. She really didn't want to talk to Xia Xue anymore. She was afraid that if she continued talking, she would vomit blood and die.
Chu Zhenxuan grabbed Xia Xue's waist and pinched it.
"Mother and the Queen Mother are not only monarchs and subjects, but also close friends. The Queen Mother won't care."
"Then the Queen Mother is also a close friend of the Prime Minister? And she won't argue with the Prime Minister?"
The old lady tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart and said in a deep voice.
"When the Queen Mother asks me about it, I will say that I broke it accidentally."
"Mother, you are so thoughtful. The Queen Mother will definitely not care about it anymore. Thank you very much, mother." Xia Xue leaned over quickly.
I've been waiting for you to say this, old witch.
Stop trying to use the empress dowager's things to frame me!
If you dare to frame me again, I will bring this up and see who will suffer, you or me!!!
Chu Zhenxuan's head really hurt. Women's matters were really troublesome. Fortunately, he didn't marry a concubine or take a concubine or anything like that, otherwise he would have lived many years less.
Chu Zhenxuan: +40+40+40.
"Mother, it's time to eat. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare a few dishes. Mother, please eat here. Is that okay?"
The old lady waved her hands hastily.
"No, I'm afraid of indigestion."
"Then mother, please have some tea."
Chu Zhenxuan leaned sideways.
This time the old lady was too lazy to answer and just turned around and walked out.
I don’t know if Xia Xue was overthinking it, but when the old lady left, her steps were noticeably heavier.
Chu Zhenxuan sighed. When his mother came, she was leaning on a cane and walking briskly. When she left, two big maids supported her on the left and right.
It's time to have a good talk with my mother.
Why bother to keep causing trouble for Xia Xue?
Xia Xue was in a good mood.
Extra points for solving the old woman problem.
Daughter-in-law VS mother, daughter-in-law wins!
