Chapter 512 Yu Shuqi stood on her own
"You really don't know how you became the mistress? You don't even know about such a big thing."
Zhao Houjing was just pretending to be crazy because of alcohol. He felt aggrieved and couldn't bear to see his wife living a leisurely life.
Yu Shuqi looked at her husband like this, took a deep breath, and squeezed the hand hidden in her sleeve. "Then tell me what's going on."
"The whole Yuanjing is saying that my mother separated me from her and that I am unfilial." Zhao Houjing became even angrier when he talked about this and threw the wine glass in his hand.
Zhao Houjing's appearance could scare most of the women in Yuanjing, but Yu Shuqi was the daughter of a military general, so this was just a small scene.
Yu Shuqi chose a clean, debris-free place to sit down, then slowly spoke, "I know about this, and some people also mentioned my two younger brothers."
"Do you mean that I am narrow-minded and overthinking?" Zhao Houjing stared at Yu Shuqi, and his meaning was very clear. If you want to say yes, this matter today will not be over.
Yu Shuqi hesitated for a while, then touched her belly. There was already a little life inside, but she had not had time to tell Zhao Houjing.
She felt that her position was secure, and whether it was a daughter or a son, she felt that she didn't need to pretend anymore as long as she had children.
Yu Shuqi replied firmly, "If you insist on thinking that way, there's nothing I can do."
"Yu Shuqi, which side are you on?"
At this time, it would not be an exaggeration to describe Zhao Houjing as furious.
"If you have the guts, go out and explain to Man Yuanjing's people. Why are you showing off in the mansion? I'm not a punching bag." Yu Shuqi decided to resolutely carry out her mother's ideas and could not tolerate men bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
"I am your husband, how dare you talk to me like that?" Zhao Houjing was stunned. Shouldn't this be the time for Yu Shuqi to comfort him with sweet words?
"If you're not my husband, then who are you? You're talking like it's so strange. Have you finished drinking? I'm going to sleep."
Yu Shuqi now understands her husband. He is talented, but as soon as he is involved in the affairs of the Princess's Mansion, his intelligence is reduced. It is simply unbelievable.
"Yu Shuqi" Zhao Houjing wanted to hit her, but he finally restrained himself. He knew that if he dared to hit her, his mother would definitely break his hand. As a mother, educating her son was only natural.
"Forget it, let's go and go to bed."
Zhao Houjing's sudden surrender made Yu Shuqi feel even more that her mother's words were the truth, and this was also the beginning of her increasingly comfortable life.
After this, Zhao Houjing found that his wife had changed and seemed to have become more irritable. Yu Shuqi even dared to directly refute him.
But he actually adapted to it gradually, mainly because there were only two masters in such a big mansion, him and his wife. If he ignored his wife and his wife ignored him, he felt that there was no sense of worldly life at all.
Zhao Lingmeng knew nothing about Yuan Jing's affairs, because after Zhao Houjing and his two brothers moved out, she ordered people to pack up and move to Fushou's farm.
Princess Fushou and her husband have stayed in Yuanjing since the death of the retired emperor. The main reason is that Fushou is in poor health and the imperial physician in Yuanjing is more capable.
Moreover, the emperor must have control over salt. It is easy for people like the water prince to take sides. The emperor will not allow such a thing to happen.
Fu Shou's farm was also close to Fan Yong's camp, and Fan Yong and Shui Fu Ma were there at night. During the day, Funing and Fu Shou would drink tea, chat, and play chess, which was quite interesting.
No matter how good the days were when she gossiped with friends, Zhao Lingmeng only lived there for a month before moving to another royal manor.
This time she came to improve the armor. Although the armor had been upgraded many times, the goal Zhao Lingmeng set for Jingguo was to upgrade one version every few years. After all, the surrounding countries were also making progress and would imitate their things.
Therefore, only by always being at the forefront can one have the greatest advantage. Since she enjoys the offerings and privileges of the people of Jingguo, she must fully consider Jingguo.
During this period, the news that the eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant also came. Zhao Lingmeng did not go back immediately, but she sent enough things.
There were so many things that Yu Shuqi had no complaints at all. She even let her mother recuperate on the farm and was willing to serve her mother.
Yu Shuqi pointed at the rare treasures and banknotes displayed in the courtyard and said to Zhao Houjing in a sarcastic tone, "See! This is what some people mean when they say his mother doesn't love him. Does she have any conscience?"
"What I'm saying is that mother is partial to me." Zhao Houjing has no way to deal with Shuqi now, especially since she has a child.
Yu Shuqi is now best at using the gentlest expression to say infuriating words: "Well, you're partial. If I give you everything, it won't be partial. Some people don't have hands and can't earn their own money. They're selfish."
"Yu Shuqi" Zhao Houjing simply wanted to strangle this woman to death. What kind of words were she talking about?
Yu Shuqi was not afraid of him. She hummed an unknown but happy little tune and went to order her treasure.
What could Zhao Houjing do? He could only go to the study in the front yard to read. After all, he hadn't passed the imperial examination yet. So he couldn't stop studying. He didn't want to be an official at the border. He had experienced the great escape in the past.
She never wants to experience the feeling of having to sleep with her eyes open again.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't bring Fan Houyang and Yang Chengchen with her when she upgraded the armor this time because they'd been so busy lately that they didn't have much time. If the armor upgrade was successful, the craftsmanship would gradually mature, so it wouldn't matter if they learned about it sooner or later.
After all, they both understood the process. What they lacked most now was not these processes and knowledge, but their own creativity.
They both need to design a masterpiece to convince everyone in the industry before they can truly enter this industry. Now they are just apprentices.
It’s just that the master who taught them is a little more famous, but it has little to do with them.
By the time Zhao Lingmeng finished upgrading and testing the armor, more than half a year had passed. Even her eldest daughter-in-law, Yu Shuqi, was about to give birth, and her second daughter-in-law, Qin Xinxue, was more than three months pregnant.
So Zhao Lingmeng decided to return to Yuanjing. After all, the New Year was coming up soon. She and her husband couldn't miss the annual New Year's Eve banquet, and she also had to go back to support her daughter-in-law as she gave birth.
When Zhao Lingmeng was about to leave for Beijing, Fan Yong specifically requested leave to accompany her, primarily because he was worried that the prince might encounter danger along the way. Apparently, the emperor shared this sentiment, so whenever Zhao Lingmeng was about to leave, the emperor would proactively request leave for Fan Yong.
For the emperor, it would be a waste not to have such a close and free bodyguard!
