The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Zhu, who was standing outside the house to eavesdrop, felt like thousands of arrows were piercing his heart.

Speaking of which, Tang Chujun and Shi Yunqi had nothing to do with the Zhu family.

But does it really matter?

She was the wife of the Duke Ming Media, and she was carried through the gate with three letters and six etiquette.

She once drank tea from brothers Tang Chuyu and Tang Chujun, and was called "mother" by them.

When Tang Chuyu got married, she drank the tea served by the bride as her mother; when Tang Chujun got married, she helped count the dowry and watched her get into the sedan chair.

Now, her husband actually said, "She doesn't have to get involved, it has nothing to do with her in the first place!"

Why! Why doesn't it matter?

As long as she is not dead, as long as she is still the old lady of the Duke Protector's Mansion, as long as she still sits in this position, then everyone and everything in the Duke's Mansion has something to do with her!

There was lively chatting and laughing inside the house, and the cold wind was blowing outside.

The sky was originally clear today and the sun was shining on the earth, but Mrs. Zhu felt cold all over her body, from head to toe.

At some point, a little girl quietly left the room and stood pretty in front of Mrs. Zhu.

The little girl wore the most fashionable half-pile of hibiscus bun, which was wrapped with pink gauze ribbons. The two hanging ribbons flowed straight down her black hair, like peach blossoms reflecting on the face in spring.

The sun shone on her porcelain-white jade face, revealing her bright eyes and white teeth. When she smiled, her eyebrows were crescent, "Greetings to my step-grandmother."

She looks innocent and cute in a way that is only possible at this age.

An unnatural smile appeared on Mrs. Zhu's face, because she was caught eavesdropping outside, and even more because of the word "Ji".

Yes, she was very unhappy. When Tang Chuyu and Tang Chujun's children called her, they all liked to use the word "step".

This reminded her all the time that she was a stepmother.

She carried the airs of the old lady of the Protector's Palace and nodded condescendingly, "Xia'er is here."

Shi Anxia stood obediently under the eaves, her face still the same, but at some point, her brows and eyes had quietly darkened, and her dark eyes were as deep as a thousand-year-old ancient well, "Yes, I have been here for a while. I know you are eavesdropping outside. , does it sound good?”

Zhu: "!!!" His heart beat suddenly.

Eavesdrop! It was like when everyone was talking and laughing and getting along well, she was suddenly slapped in the ear.

She was stunned, thinking she had misheard. But when he looked at the peach blossom face again, he was suddenly startled, and was suddenly frightened by the deep eyes.

A strong sense of oppression hit her face, making her almost unable to stand and her legs became weak.

Mrs. Zhu staggered slightly, holding on to Grandma Lu's arm to stand still, "I don't know what you are talking about. I just arrived..."

Shi Anxia smiled warmly, her smile not reaching her eyes, "Why do you have to pretend, stepmother? We are all sensible people. You have been married into the Tang family for decades, raising children and running the house for the father-in-law. There is no merit but hard work." . In the end, he said it had nothing to do with you. Isn’t it hurtful?”

Zhu's face was pale, and her pupils were filled with a terrifying light.

It was like seeing a beast that eats people without spitting out bones, grinding its white teeth, trying to devour her in one bite.

But it was clear that the girl had a gentle and lovely appearance, "Actually, you shouldn't be so shocked. Haven't you seen with your own eyes that my grandfather was so indifferent to my grandmother's family?"

A heavy hammer hit Zhu's heart, and her head was buzzing.

It's not over yet!

"I heard from my mother that you were very proud at the time, sarcastic and fanning the flames. What? Suddenly one day, this kind of indifference and ruthlessness was used on you, and you couldn't stand it anymore?"

Zhu: "!!!" Every word was like a knife piercing my heart.

She wanted to refute, to struggle, to sneer back.

But when she faced those shining eyes, she felt extremely scared. It felt like as soon as she opened her mouth to refute, she would be swallowed whole.

In fact, An Xia's tone was calm and slow at that time, not aggressive, just like gossiping. "My mother said that her uncle and cousins ​​sent messages to the Duke's Mansion, just to see their nephew and niece. But you let your slaves pour sewage on people." , and also secretly injured them."

"Nonsense!" Zhu firmly denied it.

Shi Anxia smiled lightly. People who dare to do things they dare not recognize are actually the most despicable and simple people.

It turned out to be such a short-sighted woman who ruined her mother's life.

Shi Anxia looked at Zhu's eyebrows and paid attention to every little expression.

Her eloquent voice was very beautiful, but her words were not so beautiful, "You must be very unconvinced. You may be thinking, why does my grandfather say that my brother has nothing to do with you!"

"You are clearly the official wife of his matchmaker. You have three letters and six etiquettes, and eight carriages to carry the sedan to marry the official wife! You have also drank tea from my mother and my uncle, and they both called you 'mother'! Why does it not matter? ?”

"But they called you mother, how did you treat them?"

This is one person speaking, not a dialogue. Mrs. Zhu could only listen and had no room to speak back.

"When my uncle got married, he took my aunt and knelt down in front of you, shouting, 'Mom, please drink tea.' Is it a mother?"

The little girl shook her head gently, "But the method is so clumsy. It was really the method used by an uneducated stepmother. If you want to be cruel, you should also use your brain, okay?"

"From that moment on, you and my eldest aunt's natal family, Duke Dingguo, were destined to be old enemies. Zhu Yingying, do you think you have won these years?"

"My eldest aunt is the eldest daughter of Duke Dingguo's family. She is a treasure that her parents are afraid of dropping when they hold it in their hands. How can a person like you do it? Do you think she is as weak and can be bullied as my mother?" people?"

"If it weren't for my eldest aunt reporting good things but not bad things, and worrying about my uncle being caught in the middle, do you think you would still be able to sit as the mistress of the Protector's Palace for so many years?"

"As long as she goes back to her parents' home to file a complaint, you won't be able to live with it. I can only say that those who are shameless are too shameless! Those who are shameless are too shameless! In this world, those who are shameless suffer too much."

That shameless person's face was extremely ugly now. Being insulted by a junior to this extent, she could just slap him on the face a few times and treat it as a lesson to the junior.

But Zhu didn’t dare!

He didn’t even dare to look at the little girl in the eyes!

Zhu was like a wooden man, set there to be bullied.

In her mind, she remembered the scene when she accidentally knocked over the teacup and all the hot tea fell into Zheng Qiaoer's hands.

But Shi Anxia only heard her aunt talk about this past event a while ago.

At that time, Zheng Qiaoer had just married into the Duke Protector's Mansion, and all she could think about was the shy appearance of marrying a man of her dreams.

And Tang Chuyu also looked like he had married his beloved girl.

Zhu couldn't stand it and was very displeased.

She once asked Tang Chuyu to see the daughter of a seventh-rank official, intending to manipulate Tang Chuyu's marriage.

But Tang Chuyu refused outright and even complained to the Duke of Guo.

The Duke of the country can ignore other affairs, but he has to interfere with the marriage of the eldest son. After all, that is his face.

He could not ask how his son was doing, but he could not ignore his old face. Therefore, seeing that the daughter of a seventh-rank official was arranged by Zhu, he immediately told her not to interfere in her son's marriage in the future.

This may be the bravest and most determined thing Tang Chuyu has ever done in his life.

Zhu held a grudge, and from that moment on, her dissatisfaction with her stepson reached its peak.
