Chapter 78 The Old Lady Returns Home
Shen Qingyuan was indeed drunk.
Although Chunxi repeatedly reminded him that there was Shen Qingchi in the carriage, Shen Qingyuan still kept sticking to her.
It requires both verbal praise and actual rewards.
Chunxi coaxed and deceived Shen Qingyuan so that he did not kiss her in front of Shen Qingchi.
After finally returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Shen Qingchi immediately escaped from the carriage. Chunxi supported Shen Qingyuan and fell behind. As soon as they entered the gate, they were stopped by Aunt Jia: "The old lady is back. Please ask the eldest young master and the young lady to go see the old lady first."
"My aunt is here?"
Chunxi had only met Marquis Qingyuan once in all the time she had been in the Marquis' Mansion, and had never met other members of the Shen family. Shen Qingyuan had never mentioned them either, so she subconsciously thought that the old lady that Aunt Jia was referring to was Old Madam Xiao.
Just as Aunt Jia was about to explain, Shen Qingyuan, who had most of his body pressed against Chunxi, suddenly stood up straight and said calmly, "Let's go."
Chunxi: “…”? ? ?
So, sir, are you really drunk or are you just pretending?
Chunxi was a little confused by Shen Qingyuan and could only follow Shen Qingyuan to the main courtyard.
In the main courtyard, Qingyuan Hou's old mother, Wu, was sitting with her legs crossed, cracking melon seeds and drinking tea, and spitting out phlegm from time to time.
Mrs. Mo forced a smile, feeling extremely sick in her heart. She felt that the air was polluted by this old man.
Marquis Qingyuan was born into a poor family, but his mother, Wu, was very fertile and gave birth to four sons and three daughters.
After Qingyuan Hou made military achievements, his family became well-known figures in the surrounding area. When he came to Hanjing for refuge, even distant relatives who were not related to him at all followed him.
Xiao was a person who didn't care about anything. When she was alive, these poor relatives occupied most of the marquis's mansion and acted arrogantly. Wu even acted like a mother-in-law, blaming Xiao for not having children and wanting to take a concubine for Qingyuan Marquis.
After Mo came into the family, it took her two years to drive these poor people out of the mansion.
If it wasn't for dealing with Shen Qingyuan and Chunxi, she would never want to see this old guy again in her life.
Just as he was thinking about it, Shen Qingyuan brought Chunxi into the yard.
Mrs. Mo breathed a sigh of relief and greeted them with an eager smile: "Yuan'er, Ah Xi, you are finally back. Come and meet Grandma."
Mo promised half of Xiao's dowry to Wu. As soon as she finished speaking, Wu said sarcastically, "Humph! I've never heard of Yuan'er getting married. I don't recognize this granddaughter-in-law!"
Chunxi didn't hear what Wu said at all, and his mind was full of shock.
It turned out that her father-in-law's mother was still alive and there were still people at home. Marquis Qingyuan didn't mention it the last time he returned home.
Mrs. Mo was very satisfied with Mrs. Wu's reaction and pretended to smooth things over: "Yuan'er is already married for the third time. He didn't want to make it too public, so he didn't inform mother. Now that Yuan'er has finally been appointed, he will go to Xuzhou to investigate a major case. If mother bullies Ah Xi, it will distract Yuan'er."
At the end of her speech, Mrs. Mo couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, and she wished she could write the word "gloating" directly on her face.
She brought Wu back to the Marquis' Mansion at this time because she wanted Wu to cause trouble in the Marquis' Mansion and make Shen Qingyuan worry.
Shen Qingyuan and Chunxi could ignore her, their non-blood-related stepmother, so how could they dare to disobey the elderly Wu?
Mrs. Wu spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells and snorted coldly with a fake smile: "What do you mean by bullying? As a grandmother, can't I teach my grandson's wife some manners?"
After Wu finished speaking, she picked up the tea in her hand and just as she brought it to her mouth, a strong wind blew and the teacup flew out of her hand and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
Both Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Mo's eyelids jumped. Before they could react, they heard Shen Qingyuan's cold voice: "One of you old bastards wants to suck the marrow out of your son's bones, and the other old bastard climbs onto the bed and insists on stealing other people's things. Not only are you biting each other, but you also team up to bully others. If you really don't want to lose your face, I can help you cut it off!"
“…”
“…”
Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Mo opened their eyes wide, shocked and frightened.
They had imagined all kinds of Chunxi's reactions, but they never expected Shen Qingyuan to be so ruthless and tear off their faces!
Isn't this rebellious son always taciturn? Why is he suddenly making a fuss like a shrew today?
He called his grandmother an old woman and even publicized the fact that his stepmother climbed into his bed. Is he crazy?
Wu and Mo were stunned by Shen Qingyuan and didn't dare to respond for a moment. Chunxi was afraid that Wu would get angry and do something bad, so she quickly explained, "Grandmother, Mother, don't be angry. The master didn't mean it. Master Wei made him drink a lot of wine today and he got drunk."
Are you drunk?
It was only after Chunxi reminded them that Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Mo noticed that Shen Qingyuan had a strong smell of alcohol on him.
Then today is not a good time to make rules.
But there is still a long way to go, so don't be in a hurry, take your time.
Wu made up her mind, but she couldn't help scolding Chunxi: "Didn't you go with us? Didn't you try to persuade him to drink less? How can he come home drunk like this and act crazy?"
As Wu spoke, she subconsciously grabbed a handful of melon seeds to calm her nerves. However, just as she grabbed the melon seeds, Shen Qingyuan snatched the plate of melon seeds from her and smashed it to the ground.
"Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to speak to my wife like that? I can't even bear to be mean to her, so who do you think you are?"
The plate was made of huanghuali wood. It didn't break when it fell to the ground, but it was crushed by Shen Qingyuan's foot. As the wood chips flew, Wu's wrinkled eyebrows couldn't help but twitch twice.
If this kick landed on her, her old bones would not be able to bear it.
Mrs. Wu suddenly didn't dare to say anything more, and Mrs. Mo silently took two steps back, fearing that she would be affected.
Over the past twenty years, Shen Qingyuan had never gotten drunk, let alone lost his composure. Who could have imagined that he could be so terrifying when drunk?
Chunxi also felt that Shen Qingyuan could not continue to make trouble like this.
It was okay for him to curse at Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Mo when he was drunk, but if he hurt anyone, he would be accused of being an unfilial son.
"My Lord, it's alright. Let's go back to Wenxinyuan first. I still have a lot to tell you."
Chunxi said as she grabbed Shen Qingyuan's arm. Seeing the worry in her eyes, Shen Qingyuan softened his tone: "Don't be afraid, I won't be mean to you."
Chunxi was about to say that she wasn't afraid when Shen Qingyuan turned his head and glared at Wu fiercely: "Apologize to my wife!"
“…”
She hasn't had the chance to establish her authority yet, and now she's admitting her mistake. How can she control this little bitch in the future?
Wu didn't want to give in. She frowned and defended herself, "I was teaching her how to be a good wife. I wasn't being mean to her. I..."
Before she could finish her words, Shen Qingyuan interrupted her rudely: "You are not a good person, what qualifications do you have to teach her?"
Wu: “…”
How could her son give birth to such a wicked creature? !
