The Rebirth of the Prince: Starting from Not Being a Doglicker

After greeting the King of Runan and the Queen, Su An bowed to the two concubines.

"Meet Aunt Zhao, meet Aunt Zhang."

Aunt Zhao, the biological mother of Miss Runan Wang, nodded with a smile.

The mother-in-law's behavior was beyond the expectations of everyone present except Su An.

"Oh, good boy, come here, mother." Her eyes were full of smiles.

Because Su An was close to her, she directly held Su An's hand and pulled him to her side, her eyes full of kindness and a satisfied smile on her face.

He also did not forget to glance at the princess secretly, as if he was declaring his sovereignty.

I knew it... Su An complained in his heart, but on the surface he still had a respectful smile as a junior.

Except for Su An, everyone in the hall had a change of expression. The most obvious one was the princess, whose expression suddenly darkened. She clenched her hands slightly on the armrest of the sandalwood chair, and looked at her mother-in-law coldly.

Although the mother-in-law is Sima Yue's biological mother, the princess is Sima Yue's mother according to the clan law, and she is qualified to call herself mother to Su An and Sima Yue.

It would be fine if she called herself that in private on a normal day, but doing so in this kind of situation was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the princess.

The brother-in-law and sister-in-law looked at each other, remained silent, and did not get involved in the conflict between their elders.

The smile on Aunt Zhao's face deepened.

Sima Yue didn't even bother to think about Lu Chuan and her elder sister. She frowned slightly and looked at her mother.

It's her own homecoming day, why does she have to make such a fuss? Can't she just be quiet and not make so many troubles?

Aunt Zhao came out with a smile to smooth things over, "Yue'er was able to find a good husband like the prince. I was so excited that I even talked nonsense."

Aunt Zhao seemed to be a good person. Not only did she praise him, she also found an excuse for her mother-in-law.

But based on Su An's understanding of his excellent mother-in-law, she would definitely not take advantage of this opportunity to back down. Instead, Aunt Zhao's words would only serve to fan the flames.

"What nonsense am I talking about?" The mother-in-law looked a little unhappy and snorted coldly.

Aunt Zhao's eyes flashed with a smile, but her expression was serious: "Sister is Yue'er's mother, how can you call yourself that, sister?"

"Yue'er is coming home today, I'm very happy, and I and your sister understand, but you shouldn't have said such things, so I should apologize to you."

Aunt Zhao's words were half blame and half defense, making others think that she was really doing this for the good of her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law's face became more and more dissatisfied, and her voice became louder: "Yuer was born after ten months of pregnancy. She is the flesh and blood of my body. Xiao An is also my son-in-law. Why can't I call myself that?"

Su An's hand was grabbed by his mother-in-law. He wanted to pull it away, but she held it tightly, feeling helpless.

My mother-in-law was born in a merchant family. Because of her outstanding appearance and a figure that drove all men crazy, she was noticed by the Prince of Runan, who was once a prince, and was taken as a concubine.

At that time, the mother-in-law was not as trouble-making as she is now. Instead, she was a little silly. The girl's innocence during their daily interactions and the ultimate pleasure under the bed made the King of Runan particularly fond of his mother-in-law.

He ignored the princess's objection and made his mother-in-law, the daughter of a merchant, his concubine. Even though the King of Runan often stayed overnight with the concubine and neglected her, the principal wife, the princess still tolerated it.

What the princess could not tolerate was that her mother-in-law later became arrogant and wanted to compete for the position of the principal wife, which undoubtedly touched the princess's reverse scale.

Under the suppression of the princess, my mother-in-law went from being a favored concubine to being banished to the cold palace overnight. For the sake of peace in the palace, Prince Runan became estranged from her from then on.

Even so, the mother-in-law would still come out to stir up trouble from time to time.

In the previous life, my mother-in-law often did things that ordinary people could not understand. She would come to the Marquis' Mansion to visit Sima Yue every few days and would bring Sima Xin with her. She treated the Marquis' Mansion like her own home and dared to ask for anything and make any requests.

Did she really not know that it was not appropriate to address herself like that in such situations? Of course she knew.

She was just too stupid and thought that since she had Su An as her son-in-law, she could dominate the princess and become the mistress of the palace.

The fact that Prince Runan could withstand the pressure and let his mother-in-law become his concubine was a result of his loyalty and friendship, as well as the princess's concession.

After all, the princess is the queen's biological sister. It is wishful thinking for her mother-in-law, who comes from a merchant family, to surpass her and become the queen.

At this time, the princess's face was already gloomy. If she hadn't taken Su An into consideration, she would have enforced the family rules on her mother-in-law.

Sima Yue was also a little angry and felt ashamed that her mother was so naive and had such unrealistic ideas.

Moreover, she attacked the princess in such an occasion. Aunt Zhao and Sima Yan must have been laughing at her in their hearts.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, your son-in-law has prepared some gifts for you two. Come here." Su An gave an order, and Feiyue and Danqing brought the servants of the Marquis' Mansion to present various gifts.

This was not a solution, so Su An diverted everyone's attention.

Sima Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Su An was still reliable and did not let her mother continue to embarrass herself.

The princess's expression turned from gloomy to bright, and she showed a gentle smile again. She had to give Su An face.

The mother-in-law frowned and wanted to say something more.

Sima Yue quickly pulled her, bit her lip and whispered, "Mom, please stop embarrassing yourself, okay?"

"How can you be so ignorant, little girl? How can this be considered embarrassing for me? If I become the principal wife, you will be the legitimate daughter of the prince's mansion, and you will be able to speak with your head held high in the marquis' mansion, and you won't have to be afraid of your sister-in-law anymore."

The mother-in-law scolded with a look of dissatisfaction. In her opinion, Marquis Shenwei was a first-class official, higher than the King of Runan. With his help, she would definitely be able to suppress the princess.

Sima Yue's pretty face darkened and she didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Beautifully packaged gift boxes were presented by the servants of the Marquis' Mansion.

Su An brought gifts to the Prince of Runan and the Princess, as well as to her mother-in-law and Aunt Zhao. Although her mother-in-law's gift was not as valuable as the Princess', it was obviously more valuable than Aunt Zhao's.

The gifts were prepared by Su Wan, who knew everyone's preferences in advance.

Although she disliked Sima Yue very much, the Marquis' Mansion was a prominent and wealthy family, and she still had to observe the proper etiquette for such occasions.

The King of Runan was fond of elegance, so Su Wan collected several authentic paintings and calligraphy by famous artists, as well as some antique calligraphy works, without any vulgar items such as gold or silver. The King of Runan nodded his head after seeing them, and praised Su An for his unique vision and ability to choose gifts, which really pleased him.

My mother-in-law's gift was various valuable jewellery and a large night-shining pearl.
