I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

After the old lady's carriage slowly stopped, Mu Shaoheng walked forward with Fu Yusu and Dieyi.

Mu Shaoheng bowed respectfully and said, "Your son greets you, mother."

Fu Yushu and Dieyi followed the palace rules, knelt on both knees, and kowtowed respectfully: "The daughter-in-law (daughter) welcomes the mother."

The old lady glanced at Fu Yushu and Dieyi and said with a faint smile, "No need to be polite."

Then, the old lady smiled and held Mu Shaoheng's hand.

Facing her son, the old lady's eyes immediately turned into crescents as she smiled, and she said in a very intimate tone: "Shao Heng, stop standing and come up and sit with your mother."

After a long separation, Mu Shaoheng would naturally not refuse the warm invitation from his mother.

But he did not forget his wife. Anyway, his mother's carriage was spacious enough, so he smiled, held Fu Yusu's hand, and took her into the carriage.

This was the first time the old lady met Fu Yushu. From the moment Fu Yushu stepped onto the shaft of the carriage, the old lady's eyes fell on her, and she looked her up and down four or five times with a scrutinizing gaze.

From the face to the waist, to the long legs... and finally back to the face.

"She is indeed a beauty chosen from thousands of people."

After the old lady confirmed it, she smiled and looked at her son who bent over and got into the carriage, and continued: "It's just that Shao Heng, as the saying goes, 'Marry a virtuous wife and a beautiful concubine.'"

Fu Yushu: ???

Hearing this, my heart sank.

Fu Yushu was a thoughtful person. With just this one sentence, she had already understood one fact - her mother-in-law didn't like her very much.

As for why?

Not yet clear.

At this time, Mu Shaoheng held Fu Yushu's hand intimately, and the couple sat down on the side seats. After they sat down, Mu Shaoheng smiled and replied to the old lady:

"Mother, you don't know that your son's daughter-in-law has all the advantages of a wife and a concubine. She is both virtuous and beautiful. Your son is marrying up to her level."

Wait, who is trying to climb up to who?

Is Mu Shaoheng trying to marry into Fu Yushuo's family?

The old lady almost thought she was hard of hearing!

There is no doubt that from Mu Shaoheng's words, anyone can tell how much he protects his wife!

The old lady was speechless for a moment.

Fu Yushu felt extremely sweet after hearing what her husband said.

Originally, her little hand was held in Mu Shaoheng's palm. At this moment, she used a little force... and held it back.

Feeling the sweet change in his wife, Mu Shaoheng glanced at her with relief.

Unfortunately, Fu Yushu happened to look up at him.

For a moment, the two looked at each other.

They could see deep love in each other's eyes.

The old lady became more speechless.

He simply coughed lightly to draw Mu Shaoheng's attention back and changed the subject:

"Shao Heng, I think the scenery in the capital is very different from that in the southwest. Come and take a walk with mother later."

Mu Shaoheng smiled and said, "Okay, mother."

A quarter of an hour later, we passed by a forest of fiery red maple leaves.

Mu Shaoheng immediately ordered the car to stop and personally helped his mother get out of the car and walked around, introducing:

"Mother, this is a maple leaf that is unique to the capital. The first one was planted by the Holy Ancestor himself. Three hundred years later, it has now grown into a lush green patch."

"Was it planted by the Holy Ancestor (the founding emperor of the Great Zhou)?" The old lady became interested. "Then I must go and take a good look."

After saying this, the old lady walked away.

At this time, Mu Shaoheng smiled at Fu Yushu again:

"I heard that when Saint Ancestor planted the first seedling, your great-grandfather's great-grandfather was right beside Saint Ancestor, responsible for digging the hole, supporting the seedling, and watering it."

“So, in a sense, this large maple forest was also planted by your family.”

Fu Yushu heard this and immediately laughed excitedly:

"Really? I've passed by here many times, but I never knew that it was planted by my ancestors and the Holy Ancestor!"

Old Lady: ...

Suddenly, his smile faded and he lost interest in wandering around.

Nephew Shen Yixiao noticed the change in the old lady's mood.

It was normal for the old lady to be unhappy. When she was choosing the new princess, she fell in love with Shen Yixiao's sister at first sight, but Mu Shaoheng liked Fu Yushuo.

The mother and son had a fierce argument and finally parted on bad terms.

——Mu Shaoheng went north and left the southwest with his sister (fake princess Mu Zitang).

Unexpectedly, when the old lady was still thinking about how to persuade Mu Shaoheng to marry her niece from her natal family, Mu Shaoheng had already unilaterally proposed to the Fu family and finalized the candidate for the new princess.

Later, he went even further and simply left aside his clansmen in the southwest and held a grand wedding in the capital to get married.

Because of these things, the old lady rejected Fu Yushu from the bottom of her heart. Not to mention seeing Fu Yushu, just thinking about the existence of such a person made her feel unhappy!

Just at this moment, Mu Shaoheng whispered something to Fu Yushu, and Fu Yushu couldn't help but secretly covered her mouth and laughed.

Even though she covered her mouth, a little bit of her sweet laughter still leaked out.

When the old lady turned her head to look in the direction of the laughter, she happened to see Mu Shaoheng staring at Fu Yusu's smiling face with his eyes shining.

This made the old lady even more unhappy. She glanced at Fu Yushu and criticized, "As a princess, it is so rude to flirt in public."

Fu Yushu: ...

The smile froze in an instant.

He was stunned for several moments before looking at the old lady in confusion.

At this time, Mu Shaoheng took over the conversation and explained: "Mother, it has nothing to do with Shu'er. It's just that my son likes to see her laugh, so he deliberately made her laugh."

Old Lady: ???

She is worthy of being the wife he chose. He protects her everywhere, even when she laughs and jokes in public without caring about her image. He tolerates such unruly behavior.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from a distance.

Looking up, I saw a team of Jinyiwei going out of the city to do some business, and the one leading them was Gao Ni, who was dressed in black brocade clothes.

Gao Ni saw Mu Shaoheng, Fu Yushu and their group from afar, especially when he caught a glimpse of the unhappy old lady... Gao Ni was a smart man and understood everything immediately.

Immediately, Gao Ni's eyes deepened, and then the corners of his mouth curled up mischievously.

He turned his horse around without hesitation and galloped towards Mu Shaoheng and his group.

When they were about 20 meters away, Gao Ni took out a booklet from his arms and threw it directly to Mu Shaoheng, laughing proudly:

"Brother, take this, the new treasure I got yesterday!"

Mu Shaoheng took it and knew what treasure was inside without opening it. He also smiled and said loudly, "Yes, second brother, thank you very much."

At this time, Gao Ni shouted to Fu Yushu from afar: "Sister Fu, my wife misses you. Come to my house in a few days!"

Fu Yushu felt very friendly when he saw Gao Ni, and immediately smiled gently and said, "Okay, I will definitely go."

After Gao Ni finished what he wanted to do, he didn't stay any longer. He whipped the horse's butt directly, without even looking at the old lady, and left.

He really didn't even look at the old lady, not even a glance!

The "neglect" is laid bare nakedly!

Old Lady: ...

Since she married into the Southwestern Mu Mansion, the old lady has never been treated so badly in the past forty years!

"Who is this person? He doesn't know the rules!"

"No manners at all!"

From the conversation just now, the old lady had guessed that the man was from Fu Yushu's family. So, she scolded him mercilessly.

Mu Shaoheng: ...

Fu Yushu: ...

The servants of the Mu Mansion present: ...

They were all stunned by the old lady's harsh ridicule of Gao Ni.

Fu Yushu was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and wanted to introduce high nickel to her mother-in-law.

But Mu Shaoheng stopped him and interrupted him:

"Mother, the man you heard about in the southwest just now is the commander of the Jinyiwei, Gao Ni. He is the brother-in-law of my wife's family."

High, high nickel?

Such a big shot, a big shot who always stirs up blood and gore, the old lady has naturally heard of him!

Not to mention the distant past, just two years ago, the vassal king next door to the Southwest Mu Mansion... the Qilian King and his family were brutally killed by the high-nickel Jinyiwei.

Overnight, blood washed the palace, and human heads rolled to the ground like melons and vegetables!

At that time, the old lady was traveling thousands of miles in a carriage to visit relatives. When she suddenly heard the news, she was so shocked that she returned to the southwest overnight!

Unexpectedly, I encountered high nickel today, the first day I arrived in Beijing.

And Gao Ni is still like this... a person without rules!

Unfortunately, Gao Ni was in power, and she had no way to show her attitude or get emotional, which made the old lady almost bite her silver teeth out!

The old lady had no idea that Gao Ni came over here on purpose... to make things difficult for her!

Back then, Fu Yuzheng's family was kept in the dark and had no idea that "the old lady was against marrying Fu Yushuo".

But this matter could be hidden from others, but not from Gao Ni, because rumors kept coming to his ears from the southwest.

Therefore, Gao Ni knows the inside story.

Therefore, today, Gao Ni deliberately stood up to support Fu Yusu.

——Warning the old lady, don’t try to bully the elder sister of the Fu family, otherwise don’t blame him for being rude!

~

After being irritated by Gao Ni, the old lady was even less in the mood to stroll around the maple forest. She stopped after walking a few steps and wanted to return to the carriage.

But her nephew Shen Yixiao was very interested in the maple forest. He took the old lady's arm and said with a smile:

"Aunt, I like this vast forest of red maple leaves very much. If you are tired, I will find you a big rock to sit down and rest your feet, how about that?"

Hearing this, the old lady smiled and hit his arm, saying angrily: "You little monkey, you don't like this maple forest at all, you like walking in the maple forest with Dieyi, right?"

She had noticed it just now. When the group was walking together, her nephew would glance at Dieyi from time to time.

Seeing that he was exposed, Shen Yixiao stopped pretending, leaned close to the old lady's ear, and smiled and told her everything:

"To be honest, aunt, I like Princess Dieyi very much. I hope you will grant my wish."

The old lady nodded without hesitation: "Don't worry about this, I will leave it to you. If you like her, just wait to be the bridegroom."

Shen Yixiao nodded repeatedly: "I know that my aunt loves her nephew the most."

After confessing his feelings to the old lady, Shen Yixiao looked at Dieyi more boldly. In stark contrast to his previous peeks, his eyes were full of possessiveness, as if Dieyi was already his fiancée.

Dieyi was very unhappy, so she took a few steps to the right and hid her whole body behind Fu Yusu.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yixiao simply came over and stood in front of Dieyi, inviting him:

"Princess, I see some red wild fruits on the tree over there. They look delicious and tempting. Come on, I'll take you to pick some."

"No need. This princess doesn't like eating wild fruits." Dieyi really disliked the other party's entanglement and refused directly.

Shen Yi smiled: ...

Since he was born, he has been a relative of the Southwest Mu Mansion. Compared with ordinary officials, he is a superior existence. To be honest, no girl has ever dared to reject him in person like this.

Dieyi was indeed the first one.

At this time, the old lady spoke: "Dieyi, mother thinks those small red wild fruits are very small and tempting. Go pick a few for me to taste."

Well, since the mother has spoken, Dieyi, as a junior, has to give face.

I could only nod and say, "Okay, my daughter will go right away."

After saying that, Dieyi turned and walked towards the red wild fruit tree.

With the help of the old lady, Shen Yi happily chased after him. In the end, the two walked forward side by side.

"Princess, this is our first meeting, and I haven't prepared any decent gifts. How about picking all the red wild fruits from the wild fruit trees and giving them to you?"

In fact, when Shen Yixiao set out from the southwest, he knew that he came to the capital to meet the young princess Dieyi.

But at that time he was prejudiced against the people in the palace. He didn't like the rigidity of Mu Shaoheng and others, who always followed rules and were boring and stereotyped.

Therefore, he didn't even bother to prepare a gift for the meeting.

Unexpectedly, Dieyi was so beautiful that he ignored everything else.

Just for the beauty of Dieyi, he was willing to humble himself and endure some of the palace rules.

——For example, after getting married, when meeting Dieyi every day, he would address her as "Princess" more often, and when necessary, he would bow his head more often to give in to her.

——For example, when accompanying Dieyi back to her parents' home, he knelt down a few more times to Mu Shaoheng and others, kowtowed a few more times, and acted as their little brother who was ordered around a few more times.

In short, a woman’s beauty comes first, and everything else can give way to this beauty.

It can be considered as "being tempted by beauty" and "paying for beauty".

Unexpectedly, Dieyi said disdainfully:

"Master Shen, you are mistaken, right? I am only here to pick red fruits for my mother. I don't care about the wild fruits on this tree at all."

"Even so, you still want to pick all the red wild fruits on the tree... as a gift to me? Then I can only say that you are too tactless."

Shen Yi smiled: ???

This is the first time I've met a girl who speaks so bluntly, so harshly, and so disrespectfully!

But what to do? Shen Yixiao actually likes Dieyi’s uniqueness more and more.

He just smiled and said, "Princess, you are so different from those girls who only know how to flatter me... I like your true nature."

Dieyi rolled her eyes: "But I don't like you."

After saying that, he pulled off a branch full of wild fruits, picked a few red fruits at random, and turned back without looking back.

"This princess is really interesting," Shen Yixiao was quite impressed. He couldn't help but turned to Dieyi's back and shouted with a smile, "Princess Dieyi, I really like you!"

Dieyi paused.

I just feel that Shen Yi’s smile is annoying!

After thinking about it, Dieyi quickly returned to Shen Yixiao and told her word by word:

"Shen Yixiao, I already have a man I like, and I'm going to marry him in this life! So, please keep your heart and give it to the woman who is truly right for you in the future."

Shen Yi smiled: ???
