I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

Jingyang Marquis Mansion (my mother’s home).

Madam Hou Tao Ying (Fu Yushu's mother) was playing with her two little sons in the cradles. She was circling around the two cradles with a rattle in her hand.

Chen'er and Xu'er were both attracted by their mother's gaze, and their big, bright eyes followed their mother's movements.

At this time, the concierge came with a letter from home: "Madam, this is a letter from the Marquis from the northwest."

When Tao Ying heard this, she immediately put down her rattle and happily took the letter from home.

It has been more than a year since her husband went to the northwest battlefield. Tao Ying misses him more and more. Even if she can't see him in person, it would be good to see his writings more often.

Unexpectedly, when I opened the letter from home, I found only a thin page of stationery inside.

"Is the war getting intense again? I could have written four or five pages about it in the past."

Tao Ying's heart was inevitably troubled, and she silently prayed to the Bodhisattva for protection: "May my husband be safe and sound on the battlefield."

While reciting silently, he unfolded the letter.

The next moment, Tao Ying's eyes lit up!

There was only one sentence written on the letter paper:

"Yingying, the Northwest Campaign has won a great victory, and the army will return to the capital in triumph within ten days. I will leave alone and arrive in the capital on the night you see this letter. Wait for me."

Tao Ying was so excited that she read this short text over and over again!

When she was sure that Fu Xiaotian would return tonight, she could not hold back her tears of joy. She hugged her two little sons in the cradles, and her tears of joy fell on the tender faces of her two chubby sons.

At this time, the gatekeeper came to report again: "Madam, the wife of Pingyang Marquis and the wife of Pingbei Marquis are here to visit."

Tao Ying heard this and nodded with a smile: "Please come in quickly."

Tao Ying was not surprised that the two marquis ladies came to visit at the same time, because they had already handed in their invitations yesterday.

As for the purpose of their visit, it was only one - their two daughters had married well, so they came to visit and keep in touch with them.

Such noble ladies would come to my house almost every one or two days.

Soon, Tao Ying warmly received the two marquis' wives in the main hall, and the three of them had a very pleasant conversation.

Suddenly, the wife of the Marquis of Pingyang mentioned the old lady of the Southwest Mu Mansion who came to the capital yesterday. She smiled and said, "There is something I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Tao Ying smiled and said, "Madam Pingyang Hou, you are so polite, but you can say whatever you want."

The wife of Pingyang Marquis spoke frankly and lowered her voice:

"My second brother from my mother's family was once an official in the southwest, and my second sister-in-law followed him to take up the post and lived in the southwest for a few years. I heard from my second sister-in-law that this old lady has a bit of a strange temperament and is not easy to get along with."

"Madam Jingyang, you have to remind Princess Zhenbian (Fu Yushu) to be mentally prepared in advance."

Upon hearing this, Lady Pingbei Hou also said:

"That's true. I once lived in the southwest for more than half a year. That was five years ago. Princess Yuehua was still alive at that time. I heard that the old lady was very pretentious. The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was terrible. They didn't even bother to say hello when they met."

When Tao Ying heard this, she didn't take it seriously.

Princess Yuehua has such a fierce temper that no mother-in-law can stand it. It would be a miracle if the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is good.

Her Shu'er is different. She is a gentle, sensible and good child. There should be no problem between her and the mother-in-law.

Well, Tao Ying is very confident in her daughter.

However, the two marquis ladies were kind enough to remind her, so Tao Ying also gently expressed her gratitude: "Thank you for the reminder. I will give my daughter more instructions later."

Unexpectedly, half an hour later, when Tao Ying was sending the two marquis' wives out of the mansion, she ran into Fu Yushuo, who was returning to her parents' home with red eyes.

There was a prominent slap mark on his face.

Because Fu Yushu's face was as white as jade, the slap mark was extremely obvious and bright red like blood even though it was some distance away.

Tao Ying was shocked!

She didn't care about the guests anymore, she rushed over to hug her daughter and asked, "Shu'er, your face...what's wrong with you?"

The two marquis ladies also looked at Fu Yushu's face in shock, their mouths wide open in amazement - Oh my God, Princess Zhenbian was slapped?

Who is so bold?

Don’t you want your claws anymore? ! (They will be chopped off!)

Over there, Cui Jiaojiao glanced at the two marquis' wives and quickly assumed the responsibilities of the Crown Prince's wife. She immediately walked over to see the two marquis' wives off from the mansion.

Although we can block the gossiping eyes of the two marquises, we cannot block their gossiping hearts.

"Who slapped me with that bright red slap mark?"

"The King of the Border?"

"Impossible! The King of Zhenbian dotes on his new princess so much. I guess the most likely one is... that old lady, right?"

"Most likely."

The two marquises came to the conclusion in a few words.

After returning home, they couldn't help but secretly tell their families.

So, one person told ten people, ten told a hundred people…

In just one night, Fu Yushu was slapped by the old lady, and the news of their discord spread to the backyards of all the noble families in the capital.

For a time, public opinion was surging.

This is later.

At the moment, Tao Ying looked at her daughter's face and felt very distressed. She kept asking, "Shu'er, what happened to the wound on your face?"

How could Fu Yushu hold back when he saw his mother?

She threw herself into her mother's arms and cried aggrievedly: "Mother..."

At this time, Cui Jiaojiao said indignantly: "Mom, she was beaten by that old witch in the Southwest Mu Mansion!"

"Old witch?" Tao Ying was stunned at first, then she realized, "Is it the old lady of the Southwest Mu Mansion?"

Oh my God, when she talked with the two marquises just now, she felt that her own Shu'er was gentle and virtuous, and that she would definitely get along well with the mother-in-law.

Not long after that, her Shu'er came back with a swollen face!

Cui Jiaojiao added angrily: "Mom, not only did Shu'er get slapped, but my husband also got beaten up by that old witch!"

Hearing this, Tao Ying was shocked.

How come Fu Linghao was also beaten?

He quickly looked towards his son and was shocked to see that Fu Linghao's face and neck were also bruised, even more seriously than Fu Yusu's - his skin was scratched in several places!

It's bleeding faintly!

Tao Ying hurriedly took her children back to the upper room, where she applied ointment and asked in detail about what had happened.

After knowing the whole story, Tao Ying slammed the table and said angrily: "Why is the old lady crazy?"

Just two days after arriving in Beijing, her two children were injured?

Fu Linghao was fine, after all, he was raised by the old lady's family, and the grace of raising him for more than ten years was there. The old lady was always unhappy about the bloodline issue, and slapped Fu Linghao a few times, and she admitted it.

But Fu Yushu, a good and sensible child, was also provoked? Tao Ying couldn't stand it at all!

After comforting Shu'er and personally sending her back to the courtyard where she had lived before her marriage to rest, Tao Ying immediately dressed neatly, took a group of guards with her, and rushed towards the Mu Mansion in a menacing manner.

As the mother-in-law, I came in person to settle the account!

When the steward of the Mu Mansion heard that the princess's mother had come to visit, he became very nervous.

"What should I do? The prince is still in the palace and won't be back for a while."

"Who will receive them?"

There was no other way, so the housekeeper could only bite the bullet and take the lead. He came to the gate, bowed and greeted her, saying, "My dear wife, here you are. Please come in, please come in."

Tao Ying knew that it was none of the housekeeper's business, so she didn't embarrass him and just asked, "Where is your prince?"

The butler bowed and told the truth: "Our prince was urgently summoned to the palace by the emperor early in the morning, and he hasn't come out yet."

Tao Ying nodded.

This is good, so that the prince won’t be caught between two “mothers” - torn.

Tao Ying stepped into the door of the Mu Mansion and shouted majestically:

"Where is the old lady who injured my daughter? Where is she now? Tell her to come out and see me immediately!"

housekeeper:……

It's incredible! The princess's mother, who usually looks gentle and docile, can be so powerful when she gets angry.

Of course, as the saying goes - a mother is strong!

If Shu'er had not married into the Southwest Mu Mansion, Tao Ying, as the Marquis's wife, would have had a much lower status than the old lady. But after Shu'er married into the family, the two families became intermarried, and things were very different.

The old lady is the man’s mother, and she is the woman’s mother. As both are mothers, their status are equal!

If the mother-in-law dares to cause trouble for Shu'er, she, as the mother-in-law, will get back at her!

"Tell me quickly, where is the old lady?" Tao Ying's eyes became sharp.

The housekeeper had no choice but to say, "Madam, please listen to my explanation. The princess has locked the old lady in the side room. We, the servants, dare not release her without the princess's permission."

The implication was that even if the princess had returned to her parents' home and was not in the mansion, her words would still take effect and no servant would dare to act presumptuously.

As soon as these words came out, Tao Ying finally felt a little relieved.

"Lead the way, I want to meet that old lady." Tao Ying ordered.

housekeeper:……

This is not good, won’t a fight break out?

Then he thought, maybe there won't be a fight, after all, the old lady is the prince's biological mother, her status is there. Then, he can just call a few strong women to watch over it.

So the housekeeper took Tao Ying away with him.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard of the upper house, Tao Ying heard bursts of curses coming from the east wing:

"Where are the maids? Where are the servants? Are they all dead?"

"Open the door, open the door, open the door for me!!!"

"...I am your prince's mother. You slaves only listen to the princess and not me. When my son comes back, I will sell you all out!"

"No, it's not selling, it's beating to death!"

After hearing the old lady's crazy talk, Tao Ying sneered, "She is indeed a crazy woman. She doesn't have the nobleness of an old lady in the palace at all."

No wonder he was despised by the old prince in the first half of his life, and would rather "favor his concubine" than "kill his wife".

Look at her character. She is crazy.

Look at Dieyi again? She is full of nobility. From Dieyi's appearance, we can also infer that her biological mother (Concubine Shao) was a radiant and beautiful woman with excellent temperament.

If she were the old prince, she would make the same choice!

"Who? Who's outside?" The old lady looked through the crack in the door and saw a cold face approaching quietly, and she asked sharply.

"Mother, the princess' mother." Tao Ying glared at the door fiercely.

After introducing herself, Tao Ying raised her head high and questioned, "I heard that the old lady was disrespectful today and openly slapped my daughter? Is this true?"

When the old lady heard that Fu Yushu's mother had come to her house, she was still not at all nervous.

She is the old lady of the Southwest Mu Mansion. Her status is much higher than that of a marquis's wife. What is there to be afraid of?

Then, the old lady's momentum did not diminish at all, and she snorted:

"Your daughter is disobedient to her mother-in-law. She is unvirtuous and unfilial. Shouldn't she be beaten?"

"A slap in the face is too light. If it weren't for my fake grandson protecting her, I would have spanked her mouth until it was swollen today!"

it is good!

very good!

Tao Ying was so angry that she laughed.

How dare he be so arrogant in front of her, his mother-in-law!

It can be seen how perverse she must be when facing her daughter.

To smack her daughter's mouth, right?

Then let’s see who gets swollen first!

"Someone come, break the door open for me!" Tao Ying was so angry that she gave the order directly.

The guards from the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion who followed behind responded immediately and rushed forward.

This frightened the housekeeper of the Mu Mansion, who quickly advised: "Madam, please don't be angry. The prince should be back soon, and he will give you an explanation when the time comes."

Tao Ying ignored the housekeeper and didn't wait for Mu Shaoheng to solve the problem.

Because Mu Shaoheng was a son, he could not lay a hand on his mother, otherwise it would be disrespectful and he would be impeached by the censors if the news got out.

Tao Ying was the mother-in-law, and she was of the same generation as the old lady, so she was beaten! No matter how powerful the censors were, they could not interfere in the private affairs of the two in-laws.

Therefore, Tao Ying ignored the housekeeper's pleas and directly ordered the guards: "What are you waiting for? Kick the door!"

When the guards heard that their young lady had been beaten, they were all very angry and rushed towards the room with great explosiveness.

How could the group of sturdy old women called by the Mu Mansion's housekeeper to guard the place stop this group of people?

The captain of the guards was especially powerful. He was the first to rush over and with one kick, he broke the entire door of the compartment!

The rest of the guards surrounded the door of the room like King Kong.

Where has the old lady ever experienced such a scene in her life?

I was so scared that I hid backwards.

But where could she hide? Tao Ying rushed over in two or three steps, grabbed her by the collar, and slapped her four times!

He didn't stop until both of her cheeks were visibly swollen.

Mu Mansion Steward: ???

I was completely terrified. It was rare to see such a fierce mother-in-law.

You even dare to hit the old lady of the Southwest Mu Mansion?

But the next moment, the steward of the Mu Mansion remembered that his mother-in-law also had an awesome son-in-law - Gao Ni, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

With high nickel around, is it possible... that anyone would dare to punish her?
