I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

The old lady is really going to die of anger.

Just because she didn't agree with Dieyi marrying a bastard, did that become her sin?

Being attacked by a crowd!

Why?

Why?

She is the legitimate mother, she can marry her concubine's daughter to whomever she wants, it's none of other people's business!

Even if she marries a madman, a psychopath, or a beggar on the street, it is her freedom and it is none of other people's business!

Unfortunately, things went against her wishes. Only three days had passed since the last "proposal", and people on the streets were talking about her narrow-mindedness and how she was wantonly torturing her concubine's daughter.

"what--"

The old lady was furious.

These days, she didn't dare to go out. She stayed in her room and sulked. She was unhappy about everything and would smash the cups on the table to the ground.

After smashing one set, smash another set.

There is no end.

That night, just after the first watch, there was a crisp "crackling" sound, and a set of brand new ceramic cups and bowls that had just been taken from the warehouse smashed into pieces on the ground.

Just at this moment, Mu Shaoheng came to visit her. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he was hit by flying debris.

Mu Shaoheng frowned slightly, and walked up to the old lady with his thick boots, stepping on the debris.

"Mother, who are you angry with again?" Mu Shaoheng sat down on the warm couch by the window, facing the old lady, with a low table between them.

The old lady was furious and snorted, "You still care about me? Isn't it true that you only have your wife in your eyes?"

Mu Shaoheng: ...

Hearing this, I couldn't help but frown.

He had been hearing similar words since the day Princess Yuehua got married, and it had been almost twenty years since then.

Mu Shaoheng really didn't understand why it was so difficult for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along with each other?

In the past, it could be said that Yuehua had a bad temper and was too strong, so it was normal that the two of them couldn't get along. But now, Shu'er was the most gentle person, how could it be like this?

Mu Shaoheng knew the answer in his heart. It could only be that his mother had an eccentric personality and could not get along with anyone.

Therefore, Mu Shaoheng paused and said tactfully:

"Mother, there will be a heavy snowstorm in the capital soon. It will be very cold. I will take some time these days to send you back to the southwest. It is warm there and suitable for wintering."

Unexpectedly, the old lady became even angrier when she heard this: "Mu Shaoheng, are you trying to drive me away?"

Mu Shaoheng: ...

We agreed that my mother would only come to Beijing to have a look around and stay for half a month before returning. But... I have been here for almost a month, and I am addicted to it. I can't bear to go back?

Not to the point.

You're sulking here every day, either fighting or smashing porcelain, you're never happy at all, why don't you leave?

At this time, the old lady said, "As long as your cousin and Dieyi's marriage is not settled, mother will not leave."

Mu Shaoheng: ???

Upon hearing this, he directly refused:

"Mother, Dieyi already has someone she likes, and the third uncle's son of the Fu family is also very satisfied. If nothing unexpected happens, they will get married."

The implication was that Shen Yixiao had no chance at all and should forget about it.

Hearing this, the old lady screamed, "Dream on! Dieyi is my chosen niece's wife, how can I let your wife's family get away with it?"

Hearing this, Mu Shaoheng was quite displeased.

He knew that the reason why his mother was so argumentative was that she was displeased with Shu'er.

In order to win over Shu'er, he even messed up Dieyi's marriage.

"Mother, God is watching what we do. Don't do such evil things as breaking up a couple in love." Mu Shaoheng said this rather impolitely.

The old lady also widened her eyes and responded rudely:

"Mu Shaoheng, Shen Yixiao is your cousin, we are related by blood!"

"The Third Uncle of the Fu Family is just an outsider with no blood relationship. You should stop doing such evil things!"

Mu Shaoheng was so angry that he laughed at such words.

My mother is now completely unreasonable.

Suddenly losing the desire to communicate with his mother, Mu Shaoheng made up an excuse and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, the old lady hurried down to the ground, blocked him, and said unyieldingly: "Shao Heng, since you are here, finalize the marriage before leaving."

After saying that, the old lady turned around and shouted to the head maid, "Xiangju, go and get the cousin's engagement letter, and then go to the princess and get her engagement letter as well."

Mu Shaoheng frowned and asked, "Mother, what are you doing with the Engagement Letter?"

Although he had an answer in his heart, he still had a glimmer of fantasy about his mother.

But the old lady glanced at him and said confidently:

"What else can we do with the engagement letter? Of course, we can exchange engagement letters and get Dieyi and Shen Yixiao engaged tonight!"

Mu Shaoheng closed his eyes in disappointment.

When he opened his eyes again, Mu Shaoheng's eyes were filled with deep disappointment, and he called Xiangju back directly:

"You are not allowed to go anywhere. Immediately pack up the clothes in the closet and send the old lady back to the southwest the day after tomorrow."

what?

Return to the southwest?

Coming back the day after tomorrow?

The old lady refused to do so. She became more and more irrational and started to make a scene, grabbing Mu Shaoheng's arm and throwing a tantrum:

"I won't go back until their marriage is resolved!"

“…I won’t go back…”

"not going back……"

"I'd rather die than go back—"

~

Go up to the room.

Red candles flicker.

Fu Yushu sat quietly on the warm couch by the west window, needle and thread in her hands, sewing a close-fitting undershirt for Mu Shaoheng.

"Princess, rest your eyes for a while. You have been sewing for more than half an hour." The head maid Qingzhi came over and said with a smile, holding a cup of chrysanthemum tea.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yushu paused with her needle and thread. Has half an hour passed?

As soon as Mu Shaoheng left, she started doing needlework. How come he hasn't returned yet after being gone for so long?

Fu Yushu was worried, so she put her needlework aside, put on her shoes, got off the bed and said, "Let's go and see the old lady."

As a result, before reaching the old lady's yard, the old lady's voice of crying and accusing could be heard from afar:

"...I don't care. I've already made it known to my family that as long as Xiao'er likes Dieyi, I will marry her to him..."

"Son, your mother also has to have some dignity. You must not embarrass yourself in front of your family..."

Hearing this, Fu Yushu paused.

Instead of moving forward, he chose an inconspicuous tree and stood decisively behind its trunk.

However, before he could eavesdrop on a few words, he heard the courtyard door creak open, and Mu Shaoheng ran out with a displeased look on his face. He walked with big strides and it was obvious that he was very angry.

The old lady chased him out, holding onto the door frame, and cried out persistently, "Son, your mother also has to have dignity, and cannot embarrass herself in front of your mother's house—"

The more she shouted, the faster Mu Shaoheng ran.

After a while, it turned a corner and disappeared.

Only when she could no longer see her son's back did the old lady wipe away the tears from her face and return to the house with a cold face.

Over there, Fu Yusu came out from behind the tree trunk and hurriedly chased after Mu Shaoheng.

But Mu Shaoheng was tall and big, and he walked very fast. How could Fu Yushuo catch up with him?

So, Mu Shaoheng returned to the upper room first, and as soon as he entered the inner room, he called out, "Shu'er."

As expected, no one responded to him.

"Shu'er?"

"Shu'er?"

Mu Shaoheng shouted several times but received no response, and he felt inexplicably anxious.

Hey, why are you panicking?

This has to do with Fu Yushuo's weakness. Ever since the old lady seemed to have gone crazy and kept making big moves, Mu Shaoheng has been particularly concerned about Shuer's safety.

Once he couldn't see her, he couldn't stop worrying.

Mu Shaoheng hurriedly called the maid on duty and asked, "Where is the princess?"

The little maid bowed her head and said, "The princess took Qingzhi out. I don't know where they went."

Hearing this, Mu Shaoheng immediately turned around and walked out of the house to look for her outside.

Fortunately, as soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate quickly, he saw Fu Yusu and Qingzhi coming back from afar, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly stepped forward, hugged his little wife and said, "Shu'er, where have you been?"

Fu Yushu could hear the anxiety in the man's voice and see the worry in his expression. She couldn't help but laugh:

"Brother Shao Heng, I just walked around the house twice, and you're so anxious. You're making a big fuss."

Hearing this, Mu Shaoheng smiled, but his arms held Shu'er tighter.

He also knew that he was making a big deal out of nothing, but he cared so much about Shu'er that he was afraid that she would have another accident.

Maybe this is love.

Because he loves her so much, he can't help but get anxious at the slightest sign of trouble.

This feeling was something he had never experienced before.

When you experience this for the first time, you’re bound to be more… more anxious.

"Shu'er, I will personally send mother back to the southwest in two days. You will have to stay in the mansion alone for the next half month."

At this moment, Mu Shaoheng made up his mind that he had to send his mother away no matter what.

If he lives here any longer, he'll suffer from a nervous breakdown.

Fu Yushu smiled and hugged the man's thin waist: "Okay." Although it was unfilial, she really didn't want to live under the same roof with her mother-in-law anymore.

Separated, one in the southwest and the other in the capital, that's good.

Mu Shaoheng also thought it was good.

In fact, at this moment, he has already decided that after holding a grand wedding with Shu'er in the southwest next summer, he will immediately bring Shu'er back to the capital.

Let Shu'er settle in the capital for the rest of his life, away from his mother.

Instead, as originally planned, they would move into the Southwest Palace after getting married next summer.

After learning of this idea, Fu Yushu hesitated a little, raised his head and asked: "Brother Shao Heng, don't you need to stay in the southwest?"

Have you been living with her in the capital?

It feels like it's not appropriate.

Mu Shaoheng smiled and said, "I can live in the southwest for a month and in the capital for a month, and take turns like this."

Fu Yushu: ???

Is this possible?

No matter what, she understood her husband's love for her, and she felt warm in her heart.

The arms around the man couldn't help but tighten a little.

At this moment, a cold wind blew past, and the little woman in his arms shivered. Mu Shaoheng then realized that the two of them were still standing at the gate of the courtyard.

He quickly bent down, picked up his little wife, and strode with her towards the warm house.

As he passed through the yard, the maids and old women saw him from afar and lowered their heads to avoid him.

Fu Yusu shyly hugged her husband's neck. Under the moonlight, looking at his young and handsome face, she couldn't help blushing.

To be honest, Mu Shaoheng's face was really handsome and good-looking. Fu Yushu couldn't help blushing and her heart beating fast every time she saw him.

Especially when he hugged her, the more she looked at him, the faster her heart beat.

The skin on my face became increasingly red.

Seeing his little wife like this, Mu Shaoheng couldn't help but become distracted. After entering the room, he simply carried her directly towards the bed curtain.

When she realized what was going to happen, Fu Yushu became so shy that her whole body tensed up a little.

……

An hour later, Fu Yushu was sweating all over.

Mu Shaoheng wiped her sweat with a towel and said with a smile: "Just bear with it, the hot water will be ready soon, I will carry you to take a bath together later."

Mandarin duck bath?

To be honest, this was not the first time they had showered, nor was it the tenth time, but every time Fu Yushu heard this word, she would instinctively think of her wedding night...

Here's what they did in the bathtub.

Crazy enough.

So much so that even after many days, Fu Yushu's heart would still beat faster.

In order to divert attention, Fu Yushu simply brought up Dieyi's marriage: "Brother Shao Heng, mother is so stubborn, what should Dieyi do?"

"It's okay, I'll take care of it." Mu Shaoheng already had an idea in his mind.

"Brother Shao Heng, what are you going to do?" Fu Yushu recalled the crazy look of her mother-in-law tonight and felt that... it would be difficult to deal with.

Mu Shaoheng whispered a few words in her ear.

Hearing this, Fu Yushu nodded and said, "You can try it."

~

An hour later, a figure suddenly appeared outside the study in Linfeng Courtyard of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Gao Ni was sitting at the desk, concentrating on writing something. He smiled and said without raising his head, "Friend outside the window, come in."

A white shadow flashed by, and a man in a white robe jumped in through the window.

"Brother, when did you learn from me? You go through windows instead of doors?" Gao Ni glanced at Mu Shaoheng, who was dressed in a white robe, and stopped writing with a smile.

Mu Shaoheng sat down on the chair opposite him, crossed his legs and said, "Maybe you are the one who is influenced by bad people."

Hearing this, Gao Ni laughed out loud “Hahahaha”.

After laughing enough, Gao Ni got straight to the point and asked, "Brother, why did you come here so late at night? Is there something wrong?"

"No one comes to visit you for no reason." Mu Shaoheng said with a big smile, "Second brother, do me a favor and ask your people to help me investigate Shen Yixiao."

"What aspects are you investigating?" Gao Ni asked with a smile.

Mu Shaoheng said: "If we can find out his dark history, we can change the old lady's mind of choosing him as her son-in-law."

Gao Ni smiled and said, "That's easy. Just get someone to cut off his penis. If he loses his fertility, how can he be the county lord of your Southwest Mu Mansion?"

Mu Shaoheng: ...

It’s high nickel as expected, quite damaging.

"Okay, I'm kidding you."

Gao Ni glanced at Mu Shaoheng, picked up a bright yellow orange on the table and threw it over, saying with a smile, "This is easy to handle. I'll give you the result within two days."

It's obvious at first glance that Shen Yixiao is not a serious person, and he has so many cunning thoughts in his mind.

It's easy to get some dirt on him.

As expected by Gao Ni, at dusk the next day, the Jinyiwei in the southwest sent back an explosive news via a carrier pigeon.

——Shen Yixiao often visited brothels and contracted syphilis.
