After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister’s Treasure Chapter 73 - The two of them were really going crazy

Chapter 73: The two of them were really going crazy

After explaining and seeing that everyone was only half-convinced, Xiao Yuanshi did not explain further.
Many times they were going too far, doing too much.
Then, he hurriedly said that his house had prepared clothes and food and wanted to let his parents go back first to change clothes and eat.
He was really afraid that if he let these people continue, he would really be doomed tomorrow.
He was even more afraid that others would mock him.!!
He hated his identity as a farmer’s son and hence was very unwilling to let others know some of his background.
He was most unwilling to talk about his past, and because of that, he did not want the people from his hometown to appear.
The situation was previously in control, so how did the people from the old residence become so bold?
Xiao Yuanshi only heaved a sigh of relief when he brought them out from the crowd of onlookers.
His eyes narrowed even more. There was something wrong with his mother just now.
In the past, she would definitely directly criticise and throw a tantrum at him. Why did it seem like her personality had changed?
He should better investigate this properly.
When they arrived at the general’s residence, their expressions became increasingly unsightly as they looked around.
Not only was the general’s residence very big, there were also groups of servants.
The clothes that those servants wore were all better than the clothes that they wore in the village.
It was exactly what Shi Qingluo had said.
That woman had casually prepared some fabric for them, but they had actually treated it as a treasure.
Damn it, she had played them for a fool.
Old Lady Xiao was unhappy, which explained the expression on her face.
In front of the servants and housekeepers who were secretly sizing her up, she looked at Xiao Yuanshi and said, “Your wife is very prideful. Even when her in-laws came, she did not come out to welcome us. This general’s wife is really impressive.”
Not only was she being sarcastic, there was also a thorn in her heart.
Just like Shi Qingluo said, she was clearly his mother. If they didn’t break off their kinship, she should be the one in charge of the family .
She should have been the family head, but now it was taken by a shameless hoof.
She was unhappy and aggrieved.
Xiao Yuanshi still smiled and replied, “Chunru doesn’t know that you and father are coming, so she didn’t come out to welcome them. I hope you can forgive her.”
The emperor aimed to rule the world with filial piety.
In front of his biological parents, he could not do anything disobedient or say anything unpleasant.
In particular, although these two people were biassed and ignored him as their second son, they did not mistreat him.
If they were to let someone investigate, it wouldn’t be good if they found something.
Old Lady Xiao sneered, “Do you think I’m stupid? There are so many servants and maidservants here. Shouldn’t they have reported this earlier?
“She is just trying to show us her might. She wants me, her mother-in-law, to act according to her mood in the future. Ptui!”
After entering the general’s residence, her attitude towards Xiao Yuanshi had become much stronger.
She no longer acted like an old white lotus.
This was also something that Shi Qingluo had taught her.
She shouldn’t throw a tantrum towards her second son in front of the public, so that it showed that they loved their son dearly and were reasonable people.
At home, as his parents, they should show them who the boss was.
Otherwise, they would definitely be controlled by these two unfilial animals.
Selling their house and land now showed that they were barefooted and weren’t afraid to wear shoes.
Now, they were competing to see who was more ruthless.
Xiao Yuanshi thought to himself, his mother had really become a lot smarter. Or did someone teach her?
He swept his gaze over Mdm Wang and Mdm Wu and paused for a moment when his gaze fell on Mdm Wu.
His third sister-in-law was very scheming and was good at sowing discord, she was probably the one.
However, be it what they said to the outsiders or after they entered his house, these phrases didn’t seem like something these village women could think of.
He was completely confused.
He said, “Mother, you’ve misunderstood Chunru. She wasn’t this kind of person.”
Old Lady Xiao snorted. “You have a wife and become an unfilial son who forgets about his mother.
“You just met us and didn’t even ask us how much we’ve suffered along the way.
“Instead, you were finding excuses for your wife to rebut me.”
With an aggrieved look, she continued. “My second son, you’ve really hurt my heart.”
That wretched lass Shi Qingluo was right again. Ge Chunru wanted to show them her authority and status the moment they arrived.
Fortunately, this wretched lass had taught her how to deal with it.
She scolded her new second daughter-in-law in her heart once again.
As expected, she was a vixen, bewitching his second son to the point of falling head over heels for her.
This wasn’t acceptable.
Hence, the others also followed suit and condemned Xiao Yuanshi.
Xiao Yuanshi was somewhat speechless.
Something was wrong. They were acting a little weird.
At this moment, Ge Chunru, who was dressed luxuriously and elegantly, arrived late.
A servant girl had just reported to her that the people from the old residence had arrived.
She was extremely resentful and greeted them with a gentle smile and asked, “Father and mother, why are you here?”
Old Lady Xiao looked at her luxurious clothes, the gold hairpin on her head, and the bracelets on her hands.
These were obviously very valuable, and she was extremely displeased.
Her second son was a beast, he had never bought a piece for his mother.
She glanced at Ge Chunru with a fake smile. “Why? Can’t we still come to the general’s residence?
“I’ll go out and ask everyone now. I’m here to visit my son. What happens when my daughter-in-law doesn’t welcome me?”
Ge Chunru was startled. She clearly didn’t expect Old Lady Xiao to say this.
When she had returned to the village, these people had always been supporting her.
Why had it changed now?
She immediately said, “I didn’t have such intentions. I’m just a little curious as to why father and mother entered the capital without informing me.
“If you had written earlier, I could have gotten my husband to send someone to pick you up.”
If she let Old Lady Xiao go out and say these words, they would tarnish her image that she had painstakingly built-up.
This couldn’t be the way.
She looked down on them and was extremely displeased, but she could not show it.
Otherwise, if Old Lady Xiao went out and said that she was unfilial, it would be too troublesome.
She did not know that Old Lady Xiao had already slandered her outside.
Otherwise, she would definitely be angered.
Old Lady Xiao sneered. “We wouldn’t dare to trouble you.”
She continued to mock them with all her might. “With your presence, how would my son dare to send someone to fetch us!”
Shi Qingluo was right. She came to the general’s residence to fight with this little hooligan for power, so they were destined to be enemies.
It wasn’t necessary to be polite with her, and it wasn’t necessary to lick her boots either.
She was her mother-in-law, so in terms of status, she had a natural advantage.
Therefore, she had to suppress her in front of the servants and maids in the general’s residence.
Moreover, she had suffered so much along the way, and didn’t have a place to vent her anger.
The time was just ripe for her to vent it today.
She was still a little afraid of her son, but she wasn’t afraid of her daughter-in-law.
Ge Chunru was extremely surprised. Why did Old Lady Xiao seem to have become a different person?
Her eyes reddened. She stole a glance at Xiao Yuanshi before explaining softly, “No, I didn’t.”
Xiao Yuanshi’s heart ached when he saw this.
He was the one who suggested that she wouldn’t welcome them.
Just as she was about to speak, Old Lady Xiao suddenly sat on the ground and cried out loud.
“My life is really tough. I finally managed to raise my son after a lot of hardship.
“I couldn’t bear to eat or wear anything, so I gave it all to him.
“Now, I’m actually being despised by his wife.
“I might as well go and die. How could I raise such an unfilial son and have such a daughter-in-law who disrespects and despises her mother-in-law?
“You two unfilial animals. Both of you eat well and drink well in the capital, wear luxurious clothing with gold and silver ornaments, and have lots of slaves.
“Yet, you don’t care about your parents and brothers in the countryside.
“My God, hurry up and strike these two animals with lightning.”
They had already successfully entered the general’s residence. Why should they continue to act?
Of course, they would be put on a good show again when they were outside. Cough cough!
Xiao Yuanshi and Ge Chunru were stunned.
Old Lady Xiao had introduced herself correctly.
However, these words were too unpleasant to hear and their faces turned black.
They actually said that they were animals and lightning should strike them to death. Was this human language?
But she was an elder and his mother. They did not dare to say anything disobedient.
Otherwise, once one of the servants or housekeepers spread the news, they would be labelled as unfilial.
The two of them were really going crazy.
