I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

When old people can’t sleep, they tend to think too much. The more they think, the more they sigh. When they finally fall asleep, they have a nightmare.

In the dream, Princess Yuehua supported her daughter-in-law Mu Feishuang (Fu Linghao's legal wife and Concubine Xiang's niece), got on a carriage and drove straight to a luxurious villa in the suburbs, grabbed Fu Linghao's mistress (Dieyi), and a fierce conflict broke out.

Fu Linghao was so powerful. In order to protect Dieyi, he directly ordered his death squad to surround Princess Yuehua and Mu Feishuang.

The two sides were fighting with swords and sabers, and the scene was extremely chaotic!

Not long after, Mu Shaoheng arrived with a large number of assassins. Without saying a word, they killed all of Princess Yuehua's men and supported Fu Linghao.

Because of this, Princess Yuehua felt deeply humiliated and had the most intense quarrel in history with Mu Shaoheng.

Princess Yuehua pointed at Mu Shaoheng's nose and scolded:

"Mu Shaoheng, Fu Linghao is not in the right mind. It's fine if he just favors his mistress over his wife, but how come you've also lost your mind?"

Mu Shaoheng responded coldly:

"Princess, when you teamed up with Concubine Xiang to use unfair means to force my son to marry a birdman he disliked, you should have known that this would be the result."

"As a father, I only care about my son's feelings!"

This means supporting Fu Linghao to the end.

That's right. Without Mu Shaoheng's support, how could Fu Linghao dare to treat Xiang Guifei's niece so coldly? Favoring the concubine and destroying the wife?

Princess Yuehua was so angry that she yelled, "Mu Shaoheng, you have guts, just wait for me!"

Not long after, Mu Shaoheng suffered a headache and died suddenly...

As the crown prince, Fu Linghao inherited the title smoothly and became the new generation of Border King.

A few days later, Fu Linghao divorced his wife Mu Feishuang and married the actress Dieyi as his princess!

The dream ended abruptly here.

But it stimulated the old lady so much that she burst into tears and almost collapsed.

Although the old lady didn't know that the dream was a replay of the real scene of her previous life, she just thought it was a nightmare. But the dream was too realistic, so realistic that it brought her strong emotions and stimulated her to the point of excruciating pain.

"Shao Heng, you died suddenly at a young age (about 45 years old), it was all because of that vicious woman Yuehua..."

"It must be Yuehua who poisoned and murdered her husband, that damn bitch!"

When it comes to Princess Yuehua, the old lady is filled with hatred!

When he married Princess Yuehua, she disagreed, saying that most princesses of the royal family were arrogant and would not be good wives. It was the old prince who could not resist the lobbying of Emperor Jingde (who was still the crown prince at the time) and nodded to accept.

Sure enough, not long after the marriage, Princess Yuehua could no longer pretend, and her true nature was completely exposed - not only did she abuse her concubine, but she also often yelled at her mother-in-law.

Unvirtuous and unfilial!

That vicious and domineering look made the old lady so angry that she wanted to die!

The old lady sat at the head of the bed, cursing Princess Yuehua for an hour before she finally remembered - Princess Yuehua was already dead by now, having angered the public and was ordered to be beaten to death by Emperor Jingde!

Uh, Princess Yuehua didn't die from being beaten to death by Emperor Jingde. She clearly died at the southwest border, shot to death by Fu Linghao with an arrow.

Regarding this information gap...

This was because Mu Shaoheng had kept the story of "changing Yuehua's identity and keeping her as a concubine" a secret and had never revealed a single detail to the old lady.

Therefore, she and the common people outside all thought that Princess Yuehua died in the public outrage and was beaten to death.

"That vicious woman died a long time ago, so everything in the dream is fake, just a nightmare, it doesn't count. My son will live a long life, a long life."

Thinking of this, the old lady's stuffy chest finally felt a little relieved.

But the next moment, she remembered that after Princess Yuehua died, Mu Shaoheng rejected her niece from her natal family whom she had high hopes for, and insisted on marrying Fu Yushuo as the new princess. She became depressed again.

Especially after breakfast the next day, when Fu Yushu, as the princess, was sitting quietly with her in the upper room, the gatekeeper came to report:

"Your Highness, Princess, the prince of Jingyang Marquis's mansion is visiting with his wife."

The old lady was confused when she heard this: "The prince of Jingyang Marquis's mansion? Who is that?"

The concierge was suddenly embarrassed and didn't know how to explain for a moment. She couldn't just say...it was your fake grandson from before, right?

So, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain clearly.

Fu Yushu took over the conversation and introduced to the old lady with a smile, "Mother, it's Fu Linghao and his wife Cui Jiaojiao who are here to visit you."

Who?

Fu Linghao?

That fake grandson she once was?!

Thinking of this, the old lady's face changed completely.

——Bah, someone else’s bastard, she treated him like her grandson and treasure for more than ten years!

——Especially last night, in a nightmare, he dreamed that Fu Linghao, the fake grandson, inherited the title and became the new generation of Border Guard King, stealing the foundation laid by their Southwestern Mu Mansion for hundreds of years!

I feel so upset just thinking about it!

That would be fine, especially now that Fu Linghao is Fu Yushu’s elder brother from her mother’s family. This identity made the old lady roll her eyes even more!

The corners of her mouth drooped, and the old lady deliberately choked Fu Yushu and said:

"Princess, who is Fu Linghao? I have never heard of him."

"I don't like seeing the cats and dogs in the capital, so you should get rid of them right away."

Saying that her brother is just a nobody in the capital?

Fu Yushu clenched the handkerchief tightly.

She could silently endure if someone treated her badly, but she couldn't tolerate insults to her family!

This is a matter of principle!

Therefore, Fu Yushu was only slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Mother, you don't know that ever since Fu Linghao won the first place in the imperial examination, he has been a well-known figure in the capital. He is a popular figure that the current emperor often mentions and praises."

Old Lady: ???

But I blocked any news about that kid for a few years, and now he’s doing so well?

God is really blind!

At this time, Fu Yushu added:

"Moreover, mother, Fu Linghao is not an outsider. He is my elder brother from my mother's family and also the prince's sworn brother. It is not reasonable for us in the Mu Mansion to lock him out and do such a disrespectful thing."

Discourteous?

Accusing her of being disrespectful as a mother-in-law?

When the old lady heard this word, she got so angry that her nose started to burn!

Fu Yushu, you are such a good person. It's only the second day since she moved in, and you've already revealed your true colors, right? You've even started to openly accuse her of being rude!

Thinking back to the time when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were fighting, Princess Yuehua was a royal princess after all, and her status was indeed noble. If someone didn't respect her as the mother-in-law, she had to accept it even if she didn't want to.

Now, who is Fu Yushu?

Just the daughter of a minister!

How dare you take advantage of her and step on her head?

The old lady who has been suppressed all her life - when she was young, she was suppressed by Concubine Shao and the old prince for more than ten years, and when she was middle-aged, she was suppressed by Princess Yuehua for more than ten years. After all the three of them died, she should be enjoying her life and living a good life in her old age, but she is provoked by Fu Yushu again?

She is just the daughter of a minister, yet she is so rebellious!

The old lady immediately gave a wink to the head maid Qiao Xing.

Qiao Xing is a maid who has followed the old lady for many years. In her early years, she was suppressed by Princess Yuehua... and she had no prestige at all. Now that she has been replaced by a new princess with a weaker aura, she, the maid, has also stood up.

His face immediately darkened and he shouted at Fu Yushu:

"Princess, you are too presumptuous!"

"A new daughter-in-law dares to criticize her mother-in-law. Is this the rule in the capital? Or is it a good rule taught by your family?"

After hearing this, the old lady felt relieved.

After so many years of waiting and feeling aggrieved, it’s finally her turn...she can show off and act powerful!

The old lady felt happy, but Fu Yushu's face sank.

Before getting married, she always felt that as long as she was filial to her mother-in-law and behaved with propriety, she would be able to integrate well into her husband's family and there would be no conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

I never expected that some mothers-in-law are unreasonable.

She never expected that one day her mother-in-law's personal maid would scold her so harshly.

When Fu Yushu's face turned red with anger, she happened to catch a glimpse of a smug look in the old lady's eyes and eyebrows.

In an instant, Fu Yushu's heart sank to the bottom.

At this moment, she knew that it was almost impossible to get along well with this eccentric mother-in-law.

She no longer wanted to argue with the old lady, so she took out the aura of the mistress and ordered her maid, "Qingzhi, go and invite my elder brother in."

Qingzhi immediately said "Hey", turned around and went out to greet him.

Old Lady: ???

Is this taking her words as fart?

Directly disobeying?

At this moment, Fu Yushu stopped Qingzhi and said, "Wait, it would be better for me to go out and greet her in person."

After saying that, she turned around and smiled at the old lady, "Mother, your daughter-in-law will be back soon."

The old lady was almost furious. It was not enough that he disobeyed her in front of her, but he had to say something on purpose - to provoke her?

After Fu Yushu left, the head maid Qiao Xing took the opportunity to come forward and instigate: "Old Madam, someone from the princess's family is here. It's a good time for you to establish your authority."

Just think about it, not giving face to the new princess in front of her family.

What prestige will the new princess have in the Southwest Mu Mansion in the future?

"Between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind. Old lady, you have to seize the opportunity."

Qiao Xing kept instigating.

The old lady has lived for most of her life, and has fought fiercely with Concubine Shao and Princess Yuehua. Of course, she knows that the initial victory or loss... can determine the outcome of the fight.

If you lose at one step, you lose at every step.

In this life, among several relationships, she must win once, right?

Thinking of this, the old lady pursed her lips tightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

~

While the old lady and the head maid Qiao Xing were plotting how to embarrass Fu Yushu, Fu Yushu brought a group of maids and servants and went out to greet her brother and sister-in-law in person.

"Brother, sister-in-law." Fu Yushu smiled nonchalantly.

"Shu'er——"

Cui Jiaojiao is always extremely enthusiastic. She rushed over and hugged Fu Yusuhu, as passionate as a ball of fire!

The two sisters-in-law exchanged a few pleasantries before Fu Linghao stepped forward with a smile and said:

"Shu'er, I heard from my grandmother..."

Uh, as soon as the word "grandmother" came out, Fu Linghao immediately realized that something was wrong. He paused for a moment and changed his words: "I heard that my aunt had come to Beijing, so I brought Jiaojiao with me to visit her."

Fu Yushu felt a little bitter.

My brother Fu Linghao is very filial, but the old lady... doesn't want to see my brother at all.

I wonder how much of this “don’t want to see” is due to the feeling of being the “fake grandson” and how much is due to the feeling of being the “eldest brother from her mother’s side”?

Of course, no matter what attitude the old lady holds, Fu Linghao was raised as a prince in the Southwest Mu Mansion after all, so it is reasonable for him to come and visit.

Therefore, Fu Yushu led her brother and sister-in-law to the upper room without hesitation to pay homage to the old lady.

Cui Jiaojiao was extremely excited and kept asking Fu Linghao questions: "Will the old lady be fierce?"

Fu Linghao smiled and shook his head: "How could that be? Grandmother... the old lady has always been very kind to me. Over the years, she has never said a harsh word to me."

Even when he was a child, at his most mischievous and ignorant, he once caught a little green snake and secretly put it in his grandmother's room, but his grandmother never had the heart to scold him.

She also smiled and praised him, "My Hao'er, you are getting braver and braver. You even dare to catch snakes. You are really a good grandson of your grandmother..."

After hearing these words, Fu Yushu was filled with emotion. It is true that "times have changed and things and people have changed".

After hearing this, Cui Jiaojiao became more curious about the old lady. She took Fu Linghao's arm and asked, "Tell me more, tell me more. I love to hear about the past when she favored you."

So, Fu Linghao said again:

"When I was little, I was very naughty. Brother Wang (Mu Shaoheng) was so angry that he wanted to whip me."

"Every time I found that my brother was angry, I would run to the old lady, hug her thighs, and cry and admit my mistakes."

"Then, when my brother the prince came looking for me aggressively, the old lady held me in her arms and smoothed things over..."

Cui Jiaojiao laughed and said, "This is exactly the same as when I was a kid and was about to be beaten, I would immediately run into my grandmother's arms and hide."

"Happy children are all similar." Fu Linghao defined his childhood with the word "happy".

To be honest, back then, only his stepmother, Princess Yuehua, abused and humiliated him to death. His grandmother and father treated him very well. He was absolutely a treasure in their palms!

As he said these words, Fu Linghao suddenly noticed that something was wrong with his sister Fu Yushu's eyes and eyebrows.

When he was about to ask, a group of people had already stepped into the upper room.

With a loud "bang", the sound of a porcelain cup hitting the ground and breaking was heard in the main hall.

The head maid Qiao Xing's voice of persuasion could also be heard: "Aiya, old lady, after all, someone from the princess's family is here. No matter how dissatisfied you are, you should meet the guest first."

The old lady snorted coldly, "Who wants to see her family? They are a bunch of bad guys! Go, get some maids to block the door and tell her brother from her family... Go back to where you came from!"

Fu Linghao: ???

Both feet froze on the ground.

Is this the same gentle grandmother in his memory... the same person?

Fu Yushu's face turned even darker.

Biting her lip, she walked straight into the main room.

However, when Fu Yushu walked into the main hall from the courtyard gate, the old lady had already left through the back door with the maids.

All that was left was an empty main room and broken porcelain pieces on the floor.

Fu Yushu closed his eyes tightly.

Her mother-in-law openly challenged her in front of her family, which was beyond her expectations and also completely shattered her last bit of fantasy about her mother-in-law!

Fu Yushu, who was always gentle and good-tempered, was so angry that her lips were trembling.
