People like Da Huo have no idea what face is. Even though she is a very proud person, she will still make things difficult for others.
Princess Zhaoyang didn't call her stepson or stepdaughter. She had already asked them about their attitude, and they all refused to see Mrs. Huo any more. Of course, Princess Zhaoyang couldn't let Mrs. Huo influence them, so she simply walked out of the house.
Mrs. Huo originally thought that she could enter the Marquis' Mansion, but she didn't expect that she couldn't, and the person she waited for was Princess Zhaoyang.
"What do you think the Jingning Marquis' Mansion is?" Princess Zhaoyang asked coldly. "You brought a sickly child who could die at any moment here just to force us to submit?"
Princess Zhaoyang couldn't bow her head. She was a princess, not an ordinary girl. She was not afraid of the Huo family.
The Liu family was also unlucky, having to deal with someone like Da Huo. People like Da Huo could only share wealth but not hardships. Even after the divorce, Da Huo still had the nerve to come over.
"What? Don't you like your children calling me mother?" Princess Zhaoyang sneered. "Let me tell you, after I marry the Crown Prince, his children will only have me as their mother. Even if you are their biological mother, you have remarried. You are Madam Ouyang."
"you……"
"What?" Princess Zhaoyang interrupted Mrs. Huo. "She's being disrespectful to the royal princess. Someone, slap her in the face."
As soon as Princess Zhaoyang said this, someone stepped forward and slapped Da Huo's mouth. Princess Zhaoyang couldn't sympathize with Da Huo. Da Huo had gotten to this point step by step, so she couldn't blame others.
Mrs. Huo didn't expect Princess Zhaoyang to do this. Isn't Princess Zhaoyang worried about being seen by other people in the Marquis' Mansion?
Mrs. Huo was filled with resentment, but she was beaten so badly that she couldn't say anything else.
Princess Zhaoyang turned around and went back home, and she didn't keep staring at Mrs. Huo.
The nanny slapped Mrs. Huo more than ten times, and her face was swollen.
"Who do you think you are?" the nanny said. "How dare you threaten the princess? Go back to your home."
The child held by the wet nurse began to cry, but his voice was weaker.
The wet nurse was worried about the child, so she protected the child and straightened the child's clothes. She thought that Mrs. Huo should go back quickly and not stay here any longer, as the wind was so strong outside.
Mrs. Huo really didn't want to stay here any longer. She had been beaten, so how could she continue to stay here? Mrs. Huo was going to find Liu Yanjing and tell him how cruel Princess Zhaoyang was.
Seeing that Mrs. Huo refused to go home, the wet nurse had no choice but to coax the child.
"Why are you crying now instead of earlier or later?" Mrs. Huo was dissatisfied.
"..." The wet nurse didn't say anything. This child was really pitiful. How could he have a mother like Da Huo?
When Mrs. Huo knew that Liu Yanjing was in the patrol camp, she brought people there and shouted outside that she wanted to see Liu Yanjing. She went to the Jingning Marquis's mansion to see her children, but was beaten by Princess Zhaoyang's people. She wanted to have a good talk with Liu Yanjing.
However, Liu Yanjing didn't want to see her. If she wasn't so noisy, Liu Yanjing wouldn't come out.
"She is a vicious woman." Mrs. Huo gritted her teeth.
"Shen Yan, if you hadn't gone over there, how could the princess treat you like this? You were disrespectful to the princess first, it's your fault." Liu Yanjing knew Princess Zhaoyang's temper, and he also knew Da Huo's temper.
Mrs. Huo couldn't stand the slightest bit of grievance. If anyone displeased her, she would make a scene. Princess Zhaoyang was quite kind to her children, so Liu Yanjing wouldn't bother Princess Zhaoyang just because of Mrs. Huo's one-sided story.
Liu Yanjing believed in Princess Zhaoyang. If he didn't, he would not be able to live like this sooner or later.
"You are already married." Liu Yanjing reminded Da Huo that they were already remarried and Da Huo should not come to him.
Liu Yanjing didn't have much hatred towards Da Huo, he just didn't want to see this woman anymore.
"Then I am also... the biological mother of Liu Qingyun and Liu Jia." Mrs. Huo gritted her teeth.
"Does your face hurt?" Liu Yanjing asked. Mrs. Huo's face was beaten like that, but she still came over. This person just wanted her to see her red and swollen face. Did she think he would be soft-hearted?
Impossible!
Liu Yanjing even felt that Princess Zhaoyang had done a good job and that the Da Huo family should not be allowed to be too proud and that their prestige should be destroyed.
Who is Mrs. Huo? Does she think I will still pamper her?
Impossible!
Liu Yanjing couldn't possibly do that. He already had Princess Zhaoyang, a new wife, so how could he possibly continue to favor Da Huo? He wasn't a love-brained person, not someone who loved Da Huo so much that he would ignore everyone else.
If Da Huo was an extremely outstanding person and they were forced to separate, then he might have been nicer to her. The key point was that they were not forced to separate. If they were forced, it was Da Huo who forced him to divorce.
"You should remember this lesson well." Liu Yanjing said.
"You..." Mrs. Huo opened her eyes wide. She really couldn't believe that this was what Liu Yanjing said.
It was obvious that Liu Yanjing had been very good to her in the past. Even in his previous life, Liu Yanjing was at most too lazy to pay attention to her. Liu Yanjing basically did not say such cruel words.
And now, Liu Yanjing actually said such cruel words to her.
Mrs. Huo stumbled back two steps, looking at Liu Yanjing in disbelief. She felt that Liu Yanjing was very unfamiliar, and this Liu Yanjing was not the Liu Yanjing she knew at all.
"If your current husband knew what you've done, what would he think?" Liu Yanjing sneered. "You don't want us to live a good life, but what about you? You're a remarried woman, yet you're still clinging to your ex-husband and causing trouble for his family. Have you really let it go?"
"You..." Mrs. Huo opened her mouth but said nothing.
Liu Yanjing turned and left. He didn't want to waste time talking to Da Huo. With someone like Da Huo, it was impossible for her to consider those issues.
In the past, everyone doted on Mrs. Huo and didn't bother with her about the little things. Actually, Mrs. Huo had a bad temper and many faults. Liu Yanjing used to dote on his wife. He figured since he wasn't at home that often and wasn't always with Mrs. Huo, there was no need to bother with her.
As Mrs. Huo watched Liu Yanjing leave, she suddenly felt ridiculous. She had come to find Liu Yanjing, desperately trying to figure out if he still had any feelings for her in this life, and if he would feel sorry for her.
She was wrong.
It was she who wanted to divorce, and there was no way Liu Yanjing would be so nice to her.
Mrs. Huo only felt pain on her face, not only from being beaten by the nanny beside Princess Zhaoyang, but also from her heartache.
The wet nurse held the child and watched this scene. She thought that they should go home quickly and not let the little lady catch a cold.
Mrs. Huo's actions were no secret, and this matter soon reached Mrs. Huo's ears.
Mrs. Huo had originally asked people to pay more attention to Mrs. Huo. She never thought that her daughter would go directly to the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion, and she never thought that Princess Zhaoyang would actually have Mrs. Huo beaten.
If it was someone else from the Marquis of Jingning's mansion, Madam Huo could still ask for an explanation. But it was the eldest Huo family member who was beaten by Princess Zhaoyang, so what could Madam Huo say?
Mrs. Huo ran to the Ouyang family to see her daughter. Because Mrs. Huo had gone somewhere else, Mrs. Huo waited for a long time at the Ouyang family before Mrs. Huo showed up.
When Mrs. Huo came back, her little daughter was crying so hard that she had lost her voice and her voice was very small.
Mrs. Huo first cared about her daughter and did not pay much attention to her granddaughter.
"Your face... why don't you go find a doctor?" Mrs. Huo turned around and gave orders to the servants. These servants were also clueless. Their master was injured and they just stood there.
Mrs. Huo felt distressed when she saw her daughter's red and swollen cheeks.
Seeing that Mrs. Huo only cared about Mrs. Huo, the wet nurse didn't say much and just took the child away. She wanted to comfort the child first, let the child go back to the room to lie down, and then find a doctor.
Lord Ouyang had already told the people in the mansion that if there was any problem with the child, they could go directly to the doctor.
The wet nurse didn't expect the doctor who treated Mrs. Huo to see the young lady, so she wanted to find another doctor.
Before the wet nurse could make a move, Lord Ouyang returned. Lord Ouyang first went to see his youngest daughter. He had heard that Mrs. Huo had sent her daughter away, and he was very worried about her.
Lord Ouyang felt that Mrs. Huo didn't know how to care for his daughter. How dare she do that? He didn't care whether Mrs. Huo was beaten or not, he just wanted his daughter to be safe.
"What happened?" asked Lord Ouyang.
"She just fell asleep," the nurse answered truthfully. "She cried for quite a while today. It would be best if the doctor could watch over her. He would have to watch over her all night to prevent her from getting sick."
The wet nurse had experience with delicate children like the young lady, who had been taken out for a while and exposed to the wind. She might have developed a fever during the night, so they should pay more attention.
If something happens to a child at night, it would be much slower if they go to the doctor at that time.
The wet nurse cared about the child and hoped that the doctor could stay in the house.
"The lady also has a doctor, but..." The wet nurse didn't say much.
Lord Ouyang understood what the wet nurse meant. This wet nurse was very attentive to the child and she never said anything extravagant. The wet nurse only needed to say a few words, and Lord Ouyang understood.
When Mrs. Huo was beaten, she wanted to see a doctor, but she probably didn't expect that her daughter would also want to see a doctor.
Lord Ouyang had long since stopped thinking about how much Mrs. Huo cared about this family. Mrs. Huo simply didn't want this family. She wanted to be the wife of the prince of the Jingning Marquisate. Unfortunately, the prince had already married Princess Zhaoyang.
It’s not like Liu Yanjing just married someone randomly in the northwest. If he married the daughter of a local commoner, Lord Ouyang would suspect that Da Huo would force that woman to death and try every means to make Liu Yanjing marry her again.
Mrs. Huo has always been such a disgusting person. She treats her step-son and step-daughter badly and gives her mother-in-law the cold shoulder. Such a woman is not a good wife, mother, or daughter-in-law at all. Lord Ouyang married Mrs. Huo because he listened to Madam Ouyang.
Lord Ouyang had long regretted it, but there was no turning back. The two of them already had a daughter, and Mrs. Huo was the daughter of the Bo family. The Bo family would never allow Lord Ouyang to divorce his wife, nor would they allow Lord Ouyang and Mrs. Huo to divorce.
If Mrs. Huo divorced again, she would have a hard time getting married again. The Ouyang family itself had no real ability, but the Huo family still thought the Ouyang family was good, and they all thought Mrs. Huo could make a difference in the Ouyang family.
"Have the doctor keep an eye on it." Lord Ouyang said, "The money that needs to be spent must be spent."
Lord Ouyang sighed. His family wasn't that wealthy, but he had to spend the money. His salary was so little, and he usually had to ask his sister for help.
Before, when Mrs. Huo hadn't married into the Ouyang family, the Ouyang family's expenses weren't so high, and they were able to balance their income and expenditure. But now, a sickly child requires a lot of money, and Mrs. Huo is too demanding.
Mrs. Huo was at the elder Huo's side. When she saw the maids applying medicine to the elder Huo, she remembered her little granddaughter.
"Where's the young lady?" Mrs. Huo asked.
"He should be resting." The maid had no idea that she was there to serve Mrs. Huo.
"She's fine," said Mrs. Huo. "Even if you carry her out for a walk, she's useless. She won't cry when you want her to, and she'll cry when you don't want her to. When she gets tired of crying, she'll just fall asleep. She's fine."
This is how Mrs. Huo has always treated her little daughter. After all, her little daughter is not without someone to take care of her, so why should she worry about so many things?
"..." Madam Huo looked at her eldest daughter. It was nothing. Since her daughter said that, it must be nothing. "Don't take her out as much in the future. She is still young."
"Originally, I thought she was young and wondered if she could be of any use," said Mrs. Huo, "but she turned out to be of no use at all."
"She's still so young, she can't even speak yet," said Mrs. Huo.
"Yes, so I won't take her out from now on." Mrs. Huo was too lazy to pay attention to her daughter. She just thought about the pain in her face. "I was beaten, but Liu Yanjing was still indifferent."
He was not indifferent. Who would be indifferent? Mrs. Huo couldn't help but think so.
"You've already divorced," Mrs. Huo said. "You've both married separately, so it's different."
At least Mrs. Huo understood this. If she didn't, how could she survive in the capital? Sometimes she wondered why her daughter couldn't understand. Liu Yanjing used to pamper his daughter because she was his wife.
Now, my daughter is no longer Liu Yanjing’s wife!
"You have your husband, and he has his wife," Mrs. Huo said. "Do you understand?"
“…” Da Huo didn’t want to understand.
When Lord Ouyang went to look for Mrs. Huo, he overheard the conversation between Mrs. Huo and Mrs. Huo while standing at the door. In the end, he did not go in, but chose to turn around and go somewhere else.
He had long known that Da Huo had no feelings for him. If they got married and the Liu family did not restore their title, Da Huo might still be willing to live with him. But if the Liu family restored their title, Da Huo would not be willing to accept it.
Lord Ouyang cannot blame the Liu family. This is not the Liu family's fault, it is the fault of the Huo family and the Ouyang family.
At the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion, when Liu Yanjing came back, he went to Princess Zhaoyang.
"Madam Ouyang went outside the patrol camp. She really needs a lesson." Liu Yanjing did not hide this from Princess Zhaoyang. The couple still had to talk it out. There was no need to let the other party think that he was still thinking about his ex-wife. "It's a pity that I'm a man, so it's not easy for me to take action."
"That's fine, I'll have someone do it." Princess Zhaoyang wouldn't let anyone bully her. "With her personality, if Qingyun and Jiajie were to stay with her, I'm afraid they'd be led astray by her. I asked for their opinions before, and they didn't want to see her."
"Then I won't meet you." Liu Yanjing nodded.
"It's easier for us adults to handle these matters. If they speak out themselves, it will inevitably make outsiders think they are cold-hearted. Madam Ouyang is their biological mother after all. It's not easy for them to do some things, but it's easier for us adults to do them." Princess Zhaoyang said.
Princess Zhaoyang also felt sorry for her stepson and stepdaughter. These two children were quite sensible and neither of them thought about the eldest Huo. Princess Zhaoyang thought it must be because they had suffered a lot on the way to the northwest and in the northwest. Fortunately, the two children did not make a fuss about wanting the eldest Huo.
In order to prevent people from talking nonsense around the two children, Princess Zhaoyang even beat those people.
Princess Zhaoyang also paid more attention to the servants who served them, to prevent some servants from speaking well of Mrs. Huo, and to prevent those servants from instigating Liu Qingyun and Liu Jia to meet Mrs. Huo.
Who can guarantee that the Huo Bo family will not send people over, and what about the Ouyang family?
After they returned to the capital, they bought a lot of maids and servants. Among these people, there might be some spies from other countries. Princess Zhaoyang was not that stupid. Even if those people did not have other people's spies, it did not mean that they could not be bribed.
Under such circumstances, Princess Zhaoyang must of course pay more attention.
"That's right." Liu Yanjing said, "Princess, that's what you should do. It's my fault that I don't stay at home often, so I have to trouble you."
"Why bother? They call me mother, too." Princess Zhaoyang said with a smile, "Yesterday, Jia Jieer asked me to take her out to play, saying that she was bored at home."
"Jia Jie'er likes you as a mother very much." Liu Yanjing was telling the truth. His daughter sometimes praised Princess Zhaoyang in front of him, saying that Princess Zhaoyang was not their biological mother.
How should Liu Yanjing respond to this? Maybe they weren’t destined to be together before.
In the courtyard, Liu Yulian was looking at the transparent glass. Wow, those people finally made glass. Liu Yulian herself didn't know much about how to make glass, just a little bit, and mainly relied on other researchers.
Indeed, the development of science and technology depends on everyone. Only when everyone works together can we create more.
These two pieces of glass were sent by the research institute. Liu Yulian had people researching glass when she was in the northwest. When she returned to the capital, she brought some people back and also brought back the research data.
"Well done," Liu Yulian said. "Next, we need to mass-produce this glass, producing more at once. We also need to lower the price so that ordinary people can afford it."
We need to make a telescope. This kind of thing can be used in the military and can avoid a lot of casualties.
If it is impossible to produce so much glass at once, you can make the glass into dressing mirrors, etc., to make some money first, and then you will have more money to invest in glass production later.
However, Liu Yulian doesn't need to worry about this. The research institute doesn't need to care about how the court sells and uses those things. Their responsibility is to research things that are useful to the court and the people.
"Make a telescope first." Liu Yulian said. As for things like a dressing mirror, she didn't need to remind others.
The ancients were also very wise. They could draw inferences from one example and do more things.
