Chapter 482 Are you possessed by evil spirits, my son?
Mrs. Zhou was not too happy either. She didn't get any benefits from that vixen Jiang, and was even slapped in the face by several children. She just scolded her niece a few words, but her niece was really angry. If she became her mother-in-law in the future, wouldn't she also give her such a cold shoulder if she scolded her a few words?
Wanting your niece to be your son's concubine is not just for the sake of being in the same camp as your son, and strengthening the relationship between aunt and niece. Even if it means breaking bones, the family won't mind, right?
In short, Madam Zhou also had opinions about Zhou Mingyue. The Zhou family did not have an old lady. Madam Zhou's mother passed away when she was young. She grew up under the doting of her father and brother. Now the lady in charge of the Zhou family is her sister-in-law.
So, she went to talk to her sister-in-law, Zhou Mingyue's stepmother. Sister-in-law Zhou just scolded Zhou Mingyue a few words symbolically, and then turned around and spoke seriously about Madam Zhou's faults, saying that Madam Zhou should speak according to the occasion and not be too willful.
Mrs. Zhou immediately flew into a rage, asking if her family looked down on her because her son had been thrown into jail and were now talking about her faults.
Mrs. Zhou was speechless and left with an excuse.
Madam Zhou also returned to the Marquis of Qingning's Mansion in a huff.
This happened yesterday. This morning she heard that her son was released. Her father, Duke Zhou, went to the morning court to ask for help from Emperor Xuan, and also went to the Heavenly Prison in person to take Liao Jiu out of the prison.
Mrs. Zhou was happy, but at the same time she thought that her biological father and brother were still the best. Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Mingyue and the like were still one step behind.
People’s hearts are all hidden.
After noon, there was no sign of Liao Jiu coming back, and no sign of Liao Jiu coming back again.
The errand boy finally said that he saw Zhou Gong and Liao Jiu break up, Zhou Gong went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Liao Jiu went to Prince Xiaoxiang's Mansion.
Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth in anger!
Look at what kind of son she gave birth to. On the first day after he was released from prison, he didn't go home, but went to some wild woman outside!
She wanted to rush over and see what was going on, but then she remembered what Xiao Xiang Wang had said the other day: if she went again, he would let the dogs bite her...
She was a little timid again.
In addition, the maids around her persuaded her that perhaps the young marquis had gone out for something and would be back soon, so she didn't need to worry.
As a result, neither the first class nor the second class came out.
Start to sulk.
Lunch time has passed, but Liao Jiu still hasn't come back.
Mrs. Zhou had the sumptuous meal reheated again and again. In the end, she didn't eat a single bite and had it all taken away and poured out to feed the fish.
"Feed the fish! Take them all to the backyard pond to feed the fish!"
When the wet nurse saw the delicious food on the table, she felt reluctant to eat it. If the master didn't want to eat it, she could just give it to the servants.
They were all bought with real money and at a high price.
"Master, feeding the fish is such a waste. Some vegetables are oily and the fish won't eat them. They also pollute the water..."
Madam Zhou refused to listen. "I told you to feed the fish, so you feed the fish! What's wrong? Now even you won't listen to me? You all dare to contradict me, don't you?"
The wet nurse didn't dare to say another word and quickly ordered people to leave.
At this moment, a servant outside came in with a joyful announcement, "Madam, Madam, the young marquis is back! He's flown back on a golden eagle!"
He ran so fast that he fell down.
The heels fell off.
He saw a golden eagle flying above Prince Xiaoxiang's mansion at the door, so he ran all the way to report it.
As soon as he finished speaking, a majestic golden eagle appeared in the sky above the yard where Mrs. Zhou was.
A swirl caused a strong wind, which made everyone in the yard's clothes flutter. They couldn't open their eyes, so they protected their eyes and looked up.
The golden eagle descended slowly and gracefully, and Liao Jiu got off its back.
He straightened his clothes and bowed to Madam Zhou, saying, "Mother, I'm back."
When Mrs. Zhou saw Liao Jiu, she was furious and inexplicably sad.
"You still remember to come back? You've lost your soul, haven't you? Liao Jiu, you're really capable! How dare you disobey my orders! I raised you with great effort, not to make you angry like this. You've pissed me off to death. Do you think you'll get any benefit? You're my only son, and you're deliberately trying to kill me. Did I owe you anything in my past life? I raised such a sinner!"
Liao Jiu looked calm and let her scold him.
According to experience, you have to let her vent her anger first before you can speak calmly.
The wet nurse was also experienced. It would have a bad influence if the lady scolded her son like that, even if he was her biological son. She winked and asked the other servants to retreat.
Only a few trusted maids were left, ready for any emergency at any time.
For example, Mrs. Zhou was not satisfied with scolding her son and wanted to beat him herself.
Normally, they would just beat him. But now Liao Jiu has injuries on his body. He was beaten with 200 boards. Normally, a normal person would be dead. At this moment, he looks like he can walk and stand, but he must have external and internal injuries. He can't stand a beating.
"Why aren't you talking, Liao Jiu? Do you know what I hate most about you? It's because you don't talk. You keep silent when something happens. What do you mean by this? Do you think I, your mother, was wrong to scold you? You are so bold! You dare to disobey my order. If it weren't for your grandfather and your uncle who helped, you could have gotten away with it so easily? Liao Jiu, you never worried your mother when you were a child. Why do you oppose me in everything now? What's wrong with Princess Xuanxiu? Why do you treat her like this? She's about to hang herself here for you. You really don't know how to appreciate the blessings you have. How many people dream of getting a marriage that they can't even get..."
Mrs. Zhou was so exhausted from scolding that Liao Jiu suggested, "Mother, let's go inside and have a drink of water before we talk."
"you!!"
After entering the house, Liao Jiu picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea and offered it to Mrs. Zhou.
"I'm offering you a glass of water to apologize. All the mistakes I've made are my fault. I've failed my mother's kindness. I've caused her so much worry, and I've made my grandpa and his family work so hard for me even at their old age. It's all my fault."
In this situation, Mrs. Zhou's anger gradually subsided, and her sadness grew stronger.
She has always been a strong person and never cries in front of outsiders. In her opinion, wiping tears at every turn is not a decent thing, it is the behavior of the weak, and it is not what she, a daughter of genius, should do.
Normally she only cries in front of her father and brother. It's not embarrassing, it's a true expression of her feelings.
I don't cry in front of my son very often.
She has to take care of her image.
"Wuyang, mother has always been doing this for your own good. Mother would never harm you. Letting you marry the princess is such a great benefit to you...but you just don't appreciate it. After all this trouble, you still want to piss me off. You didn't go home the first time you got out of the prison, but instead went to that evil woman Jiang, deliberately making things difficult for me. Do you still take me, your mother, seriously? Are you possessed, my son?"
