Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 273 Between mother and son
Yao Cunhui's face was slightly hot, and she admitted that her feet were weak and her steps were floating.Not to mention that Shen Quan was worried about her falling, she was sweating!

"Well, if I really want to fall, how about you?" Yao Cunhui asked with a smile.

"Of course I reached out to support you!" Shen Quan held her hand tightly without hesitation, "Hui'er, from now on, I will be able to support you openly, with me here, I will not let you fall fall."

This is the sweetest love story!Yao Cunhui was taken aback for a moment, tears welled up subconsciously in his eyes.She hastily withdrew her hand and wiped away her tears, embarrassed and said with a smile: "I should be happy, but who knows, I started to cry instead, am I worthless!"

Shen Quan smiled and said: "No, you are crying with joy! My wife is the best!"

Yao Cunhui couldn't help giving a "puchi" smile, and felt a little more relaxed. When he heard him call "daughter-in-law", she was both happy and a little shy, so she couldn't help but lightly spat at him with a smile and scolded: "I'm not afraid that others will hear the joke!"

"I'm telling the truth, who dares to joke?" Shen Quan said with a smile: "Well, my daughter-in-law has the best vision and chose me as her husband. Whoever says no, just look down on me, Shen Quan, look down on me, Shen Quan—"

"How is it?" Yao Cunhui tilted his head to him with a funny face.

Shen Quan touched his nose, raised his eyebrows and said: "If you look down on me, Shen Quan, then look down on me, but no one can say that my wife is not good!"

"Poor!" Yao Cunhui couldn't help covering his face and giggling, his face was flushed.

Seeing her smiling, Shen Quan suddenly felt a little dazed. These days, it's been hard for her!It's great to see her smile again!Just like when they first met.At that time, her smile was clean and innocent, but now she has a girlish shyness, and her different smiles are all for him.

"Hui'er!" Shen Quan called her softly.

"Huh?" Yao Cunhui raised his head slightly.

"Nothing, I just want to call you." Shen Quan smiled lightly.

The two looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.

Shen Quan got out of the carriage when he was one street away from the Zhenxi Palace. Seeing Yao Cunhui's carriage disappearing from sight, Fang brushed his clothes, turned his head and walked back to the mansion slowly.

Mrs. Xiao heard the servant's report, and rushed out without waiting for the servant girl to help her. Her lips moved slightly and she was about to open her mouth to call, but she heard a deep voice at the gate of the yard: "Tell Madam I'm fine, please let her know." Don't worry, I'll go back first, and I'll come back tomorrow to say hello to her."

The tone was as indifferent and alienated as before, without any sense of family affection, Mrs. Xiao's footsteps froze, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Her only son treated her like this, but what position does she have to accuse him?The relationship between them has come to this day, she knows that it is her fault, and she knows that he has resentment in his heart!

"Kan'er!" Mrs. Xiao couldn't feel relieved after all, she hurriedly stopped when she heard Shen Quan's footsteps about to leave, hurried forward, looked him up and down, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Shen Quan shook his head.

Mrs. Xiao's lips moved, her mouth full of words was blocked in her throat by these two faint words, she stared blankly at him in a daze.

Shen Quan stood there quietly, waited for a while and didn't see her speak again, then bowed and said: "Mother has no other orders, my son will leave."

"You—" Madam Xiao's eyes welled up with tears, she turned her head and nodded, "Go!"

Mother?Hehe, she couldn't remember exactly when he started calling her "mother" and never called her "mother" again.

Shen Quan silently bowed, turned and left.

Mrs. Xiao stood behind him blankly, listening to the low footsteps gradually drifting away, watching his back disappear in front of her eyes, raised her handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, breathed evenly and sighed Said: "Let's go back to the house!"

"Ma'am," Li's mother stepped forward to support Mrs. Xiao, "The prince must be tired, madam, you have to be considerate of him, it's not easy for him!"

"Yeah! He's my son after all, isn't he?"

"You're right to think so! The relationship between mother and child is natural, and the prince will understand your painstaking efforts one day!" Li's mother forced a smile, and said: "Lao slave will go and inquire later! "

Li's mother couldn't help but sigh secretly, the knot between Madam and the prince is too deep, there is not much to say between each other except the simple exchange of greetings and etiquette.Every time the lady wanted to ask the prince some trivial matters in life, the lady would ask the prince, and the prince would answer in a polite manner. That kind of question and answer made both parties feel awkward, and as time passed, the lady had no choice but to give up.

Now, if the madam wants to know anything about the prince, she will ask the servant girl next to the prince, and then come back to report to the madam!

Li's mother couldn't help but smiled wryly, and she didn't know when the situation of his mother and son would be big, or maybe it would be like this for the rest of their lives!
Mrs. Xiao was silent when she heard Li's mother say that. Li's mother knew that this was the default meaning, and told the maids to be careful, and then went out gently.

"What did you say? Empress Dowager, did the Empress Dowager marry you?" Mrs. Xiao's expression changed slightly when she heard Mama Li's return, and she hurriedly asked, "Which family's lady is it?"

Mrs. Xiao prayed secretly in her heart, it must not be the second miss of the Yao family, she just had such an unpleasant meeting with the second miss of the Yao family just now, if she enters the door in the future, how will mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along?
The relationship between mother and child is already terrible. If there is another daughter-in-law who has had unpleasant experiences with each other, this day will not be over!

"Yes, it is the queen mother who agreed to the invitation of the prince! The prince is very happy in Xihetang at the moment, which means that everyone will be rewarded after the edict comes down! Madam, this matter is important, and the old slave did not dare to inquire about it. If there is any further delay, I will hurry back and report to Madam first, why don't I go again?" Mama Li said.

Mrs. Xiao only felt a layer of coolness in her heart, and she felt dizzy for a moment before her eyes.I really come here for whatever I’m afraid of!
"No need!" Mrs. Xiao shook her head distractedly, she could not help her forehead to calm down, and sighed softly: "I have to go to Xihe Hall myself!"

Shen Quan had just changed his robe, and was leading Qianling around Xihe Hall with his hands behind his back, pointing and gesticulating from time to time how to change this place and how to repair that place. The wall was simply demolished to make the back garden bigger, and running water could be brought in from the northeast corner, and a pool was dug by the way...

Knowing that his master's wish has been fulfilled, Qianling is inspecting it happily, and is preparing to ask someone to renovate the Xihe Hall to marry the princess. He is very happy in his heart, how can he not be flattering?Whatever Shen Quan said, he smiled and said yes, while silently remembering that the master and servant were talking and laughing, which was so disharmonious.

Hearing Madam Xiao's arrival, the smile on Shen Quan's face faltered, and he turned his head to stare at Qianling, Qianling lowered his head guiltily, and said with a smile: "Master, Madam is here, let's talk about this first today." Let's go! The days to come will be long, the days to come will be long!"

Shen Quan snorted coldly, kicked the crook of his knee, and strode away with a flick of his sleeves.

Qianling hugged his feet and jumped a few times in pain, then hurriedly ran to keep up.

"Why is mother here! If there is something to do, just ask someone to call for my son!" Shen Quan lifted his foot into the main hall of Xihe Hall, and said to Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao has something on her mind, how can she care about other things with him?Hastily stepped forward and said: "I heard that the Queen Mother has indicated marriage?"

"Yes."

"Which family is the girl from?" Mrs. Xiao couldn't help tightening her hand holding the handkerchief, and she still held a ten-thousandth hope in her heart.

"Empress Dowager Shengming, you have granted my son's invitation, the second lady of the rice grain merchant Yao's family!" Speaking of Yao Cunhui, Shen Quan's eyes couldn't help being tinged with tenderness, and the lines of Leng Jun's face softened by two points.

Mrs. Xiao felt dizzy and dizzy, her mind went blank.It was her, it really was her!
"How could it be her!" Mrs. Xiao murmured.

"Mother doesn't like it?" Shen Quan's eyes suddenly became as cold as frost, and then he laughed at himself, and said lightly: "It's no wonder that mother doesn't like the person I like."

"No, no!" Mrs. Xiao suddenly felt a slip of the tongue, she couldn't help feeling annoyed, and hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, I was—"

Suddenly facing her son's indifferent and transparent eyes that seemed to see through everything, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help becoming a little annoyed, "I don't dislike her, but, will Mr. Pingjin give up? Will the Lu family give up? I am Worrying about you! Why are you so stubborn!"

Mrs. Xiao couldn't help covering her face and weeping.That's how he is, and he's still like that!It's been like this since childhood!What she dislikes the most is his bad temper!Sometimes I become stubborn and stubborn, which makes people feel frightened!He never said something on his mind, never resisted when he was beaten and scolded, never defended when he was wronged, and he was so stubborn about the things he decided that he couldn't pull back nine cows!
Mrs. Xiao's sorrow came from it, the more she cried, the more sad she became, and she thought of her eldest son who had passed away. Comparing the two, she felt even more desolate, and she didn't feel heartbroken, and her low crying turned into bitter crying.

Mama Li wanted to persuade her but she was afraid that it would be bad for her to keep it in her heart. These days, she was worried and frightened every day, so it's good to let it out this time.He didn't try to persuade her, but just patted her on the back to let her breathe.

"Mother, don't cry, why bother!" Shen Quan couldn't help showing impatience when she heard that she didn't show any sign of stopping.

"My lord!" Li's mother couldn't bear it anymore, and she didn't care about the difference between master and servant, she gave Shen Quan a resentful look, she was so worthless for his wife!The nature of mother and child is actually colder than this!No matter how sorry Madam is to him, she is still his own mother!

Shen Quan didn't care about Li's mother's condemning tone and eyes, and continued to calmly and indifferently said: "If mother cries again, elder brother will not be able to come back to life!"

Mrs. Xiao's body trembled, and her crying stopped abruptly. In front of her son, she felt that she had nowhere to hide.

Li's mother was even more stunned.There was no sound in the hall for a moment, everyone held their breaths and did not dare to breathe out, wishing they could become deaf because they didn't hear anything just now.
