Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

In the main hall of the palace, the old princess would sit on the high seat early every morning, waiting for the younger generations to serve her tea and show their filial piety.

After so many years, the old princess herself doesn't know whether her descendants are truly filial or just pretending to be filial. They just do these superficial efforts day after day.

The human heart is hard to predict, and a duck gizzard is hard to peel. I am afraid that only when we close our eyes will we know the truth.

"Mother, please have some tea."

Shen Xuanheng and Su Xuqing served tea together. One was handsome and elegant, while the other was shy and timid. They were truly a match made in heaven.

The old lady was visibly happy; she liked the beautiful couple in front of her from the bottom of her heart.

Taking the tea from Su Xuqing, the old princess took a sip, then took Su Xuqing's hand and said, "I heard all the rumors outside yesterday. You were indeed wronged."

As she spoke, the old princess glanced at Shen Chejin's biological mother, Li, and asked in a cold voice, "Where are your son and that gossipy woman? Why haven't they shown up yet? They are so arrogant, are they waiting for me to serve them tea?"

Su Xuqing smiled faintly when she heard this, knowing that the old princess was trying to vent her anger.

Li's face was stiff, and she looked at Su Xuqing with eyes that were about to spit fire, "Mother, you know that Che Jin and Min Er were splashed with dirty water by Xiao Jiu's wife yesterday, and they were beaten up outside and sent back with bruises on their faces."

"Spill dirty water?"

Su Xuqing immediately laughed in anger and asked, "Second sister-in-law, it's fine if others don't know what your son and daughter-in-law did, but how could you, as a mother, not know? Yesterday, your wife humiliated me and my husband in front of many people, and so many people testified, and you actually accused me of throwing dirty water?"

The old princess also laughed suddenly and said slowly, "The morning before yesterday, when the rumors against Qing'er first reached the mansion, why didn't you come out to say that someone was throwing dirty water? How come it became dirty water when it came to your son and daughter-in-law?"

Seeing that she could not turn the tables on others, Li fell to her knees and cried her heart out.

"Mother, even if my son and daughter-in-law did something wrong, Su Xuqing shouldn't have had them beaten up in the street and sent back like that. Isn't this a disgrace to our palace?"

After all, he is a man who has lived for some time, so he is naturally better at making trouble. With just a few words, he can bring the reputation of the royal palace to the surface and find fault in a roundabout way.

"Second sister-in-law, what you said is totally unreasonable. Your son and daughter-in-law were clearly beaten by the people sent by Liang Heng, the owner of the Jinyu Tower. How can you put the blame on me with just a few words?"

Su Xuqing snorted coldly and said, "Besides, it's because of your son's immortal integrity that he took someone else's wife and killed someone, so he suffered retribution and brought shame to the palace!"

Su Xuqing's words were confident and powerful.

Shen Xuanheng raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of admiration. She is worthy of being my wife, she is so beautiful even when she is angry.

"Bullshit! You are slandering me!"

Li's hands were shaking with anger, and she pointed at Su Xuqing and said bitterly, "You must have been in collusion with Liang Heng, otherwise why would he speak up for you for no reason!"

After these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.

The joints of Shen Xuanheng's bones creaked under his sleeves, and the other women in the family lowered their heads in silence, enjoying the show.

"Second sister-in-law, what you said is a bit unpleasant to hear."

Shen Xuanheng stepped forward quickly and raised his hand to hit her. Li was not intimidated at all and raised her face to let him slap her. As long as this slap landed, she would be right. It was extremely disrespectful for a brother-in-law to hit his widowed sister-in-law.

Shen Xuanheng knew what he was thinking, but he had to slap him.

No one can slander his wife's reputation!

"Wait a minute."

At the critical moment, the old princess suddenly called for a stop. Shen Xuanheng's hands froze in mid-air. Then he looked at the old princess and said reluctantly, "Mother..."

"Go back."

Shen Xuanheng's eyes were filled with coldness. He stared at Li, then turned around and returned to Su Xuqing.

The old lady slowly stood up, and Su Xuqing hurried forward to support her.

Seeing that the old princess was actually helping her, Li became even more aggressive and said, "Mother, this Su Xuqing is not a faithful wife. In my opinion, she should be dragged down and thrown into the pig cage."

The old princess glanced at Su Xuqing when she heard this. Seeing that she looked normal, she asked coldly, "Aren't you afraid?"

"mother……"

Shen Xuanheng was worried, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was glared back by the old princess.

Su Xuqing smiled softly and said in a gentle tone: "Although I have only been married for a few days, I can see that mother is a sensible person. I believe you."

Su Xuqing's trust in the old princess was not without reason. In her previous life, she was married to Shen Chejin and suffered humiliation. If the old princess had not taken pity on her and often protected her, she would probably have died within a few days of marriage.

It was not until the old princess passed away that Su Xuqing was tortured to death by Shen Chejin.

"Okay, good boy."

As she spoke, the old princess glanced at Shen Xuanheng and said while leaning on her cane, "Unlike some people, who don't even have confidence in their own mothers, they are so anxious. What are they so anxious about?"

Shen Xuanheng pretended to be busy, his eyes wandering, pretending not to understand, but smiling with the corners of his mouth raised.

Seeing this, Li was shocked and felt something was wrong.

The old princess walked up to Li, suddenly raised her cane and hit her in the face. Li screamed and fell to the ground, covering her face and shrinking back.

"Li Xiayu, this stick punishes you for not being a good parent."

As soon as she finished speaking, the old princess hit Li with a stick again, causing her to roll on the ground.

"This stick will hit you without knowing right from wrong."

After saying that, the old princess raised her cane high up and hit Li hard again. Li put her hands up to block her head, but was hit on the chest. Her face turned purple due to the pain.

"Humph!"

The old princess leaned on her cane and said coldly, "This beating will tarnish your innocence! Do you know who the man who beat your son yesterday was? It was Liang Heng from the Tianxing Pavilion!"

As she spoke, the old princess glanced at the people present and said in a serious tone: "Others may only know that Liang Heng is a man of the world, but I want you to remember that he is a passionate patriot. When the barbarians came to the border and there was a shortage of food and grass, it was he who spent millions of gold to send food and grass to win the battle! That's how your old prince was able to sit on the throne of the King of Zhennan! That's how you can lie at home and enjoy wealth and glory!"

Su Xuqing was stunned for a moment. It turned out that this was how the old man got the title of Prince of Zhennan. By this calculation, Liang Heng was the great benefactor of the Prince of Zhennan’s Mansion.

At this moment Shen Xuanheng looked at his nose and his heart, as if what was said had nothing to do with him.

The old princess was so angry that she kicked Li again. "Such a hero is actually something that a gossipy lady like you can fabricate. Not to mention that he beat your son, even if he killed him, you have to endure it!"

The old princess still felt unsatisfied, and trembled as she cursed, "You are worse than pigs and dogs. From today on, go to the ancestral temple and kneel down. When you figure it out, go and apologize to Qing'er and Master Liang, otherwise you are not allowed to come out."

Li's face turned pale when she heard this. It would be fine if Liang Heng apologized, but if he apologized to Su Xuqing, how could he hold his head up in the palace in the future!
