"I've met King Mo." Lu Xiao stopped his fake smile and became serious:

"Your Majesty heard that my relatives came to Beijing, and I just arranged for the refugees to come back from the suburbs of Beijing. I haven't done what you said."

He had a guess in his mind, suspecting that this group of elites had collided with the moody master.

How brave they are!

King Mo has an eccentric temperament and is the only king with a different surname in Dayong. He is highly trusted and valued by His Majesty.

When he lost his temper, the emperor would duck down to coax others, and they were offended.

Lu Xiao's heart was broken at this moment, and he just wanted to strangle this top family to death.

"Mo Yi!" Yin Yao called softly, and the young man driving the horse came forward with Xiao Zhao who was slapped at the gate.

He sneered: "Master Hou, see for yourself!"

Xiao Zhao babbled and raised his face, which was bruised and swollen beyond recognition.

Lu Jinhua screamed, "I only slapped him once, it can't be like this."

Yin Yao seems to be smiling but not smiling, neither admitting nor denying.

Lu Xiao took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "I don't know what the prince means. I am too young to be sensible. Please speak clearly."

No matter how much he hates this top-notch company, he can't just sit back and ignore it if he is labeled as Pingxihou Mansion.

There was no need for Yin Yao to speak, but Mo Yi spoke up on behalf of his master: "Miss Lu just ate a bunch of candied haws. You must repay the money advanced by the palace, Lord Marquis."

Lu Xiao understood that he was extorted money from King Mo.

Gritting his teeth, he gave a deep hug and said, "I understand, I will come to visit you personally tomorrow, bringing the apology and... the debt."

After saying that, without looking at the cloudy and sunny King Mo, he left with heavy footsteps and left the old house.

Behind him, Xiao Zhao touched his unrecognizable face and giggled, "These two fists are worth it! They can exchange a lot of food for the refugees outside the city."

Lu Xiao, who hadn't gone far, slipped and almost fell.

The best people who saw that he was in a bad mood did not try to get into trouble with their eyes.

The quiet atmosphere was maintained until outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, where a large golden plaque was written with the words "Pingxi Hou Mansion" in Chinese characters.

The red lacquer door is thick and thick, and even the two stone lions under the stone steps are vivid and powerful.

The Lu family felt sour. Compared with the old house in the country, it was worse than a latrine.

Mrs. Lu didn't know when she wiped away tears: "Son! Mother knows that my daughter-in-law has a noble status."

"But my mother has traveled thousands of miles because she misses you. Isn't it worth having her come to the door to greet you?"

A beautiful woman with a proud and fierce temperament happened to hear these words when she came out of the house with groups of maids and servants.

The smile that had just appeared in her eyes when she saw her husband return instantly turned into ice.

He put on a stiff and distant smile: "It's my mother and my second and third brothers! Why are you here?"

Oh my God, she almost didn't recognize the shabby and skinny person in front of her, that was her husband's mother from the countryside.

As for her two younger siblings and nieces and nephews, she didn't even look at them for charity.

Several people felt uncomfortable after being completely ignored.

Luo Xi was right. The daughters raised in the Gaomen Mansion still looked down upon them even after they married into the family.

He asked her again why she came. Mrs. Lu was also uncomfortable. She didn't care when they met, so she asked her in turn.

She calmed down, stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Keyuan's fair and smooth skin, put on a smile like a good mother-in-law and patted her:

"Daughter-in-law, I miss you."

"I think you will be pregnant by the time you get married. I can't wait to see my grandson. You won't welcome me, right?"

The withered claws, which were dry and sallow, with mud between the nails, held her hands together. Jiang Keyuan didn't even hear what her mother-in-law said, and subconsciously pushed them away.

Mrs. Lu's eyes flashed, she said "Ouch" and fell to the ground.

Showing pain.

The people who gathered outside the mansion to watch the excitement gasped.

They all whispered to each other.

"Mrs. Hou pushed her until her mother-in-law fell. It was too inappropriate for Mrs. Hou."

"No, her mother-in-law would spend her family's wealth just for the sake of the refugees. What's with that look of disgust on her face?"

Lu Xiao reacted and stepped forward to help his mother up. He looked at his wife reproachfully:

"If you are excited and happy, don't accidentally hurt your mother."

Jiang Keyuan also reacted and quickly knelt down to care:

"Mom, are you okay? I was just too excited and happy to see you, and I accidentally failed to control my strength."

But there was a sigh of relief in her heart. The old guy obviously fell down on purpose and disgusted her.

"It's okay, it's okay." Mrs. Lu quickly stood up from the ground with her son's hand, flicked her already tattered clothes, and said with a reserved expression:

"It turns out you were not careful! When you pushed me, my mother thought you were dirty."

In one sentence, Jiang Keyuan's explanation was shattered into pieces.

The people nodded: "Who would push people away when they are excited and happy? It's obviously a disgusting move."

Hearing the discussions around her, Mrs. Lu half-closed her eyes and used softness to overcome strength. She pretended that Lao Bailian's trick of dealing with her arrogant daughter-in-law was indeed correct.

"Keyuan! Help your mother into the house." More and more onlookers gathered, and there were enough jokes in one day. Lu Xiao didn't want to be watched anymore, so he hurriedly gave instructions to his wife.

Jiang Keyuan snorted softly and ordered two maids to step forward to help her.

Mrs. Lu walked in and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! My daughter-in-law is clean, and the maid can help me."

These words disgusted Wang Keyuan again.

Without giving anyone any face, he turned around and left.

The door of the mansion closed behind him, blocking everyone's sight.

"Should I...shouldn't I come?" Old Mrs. Lu stirred her clothes uneasily as she walked in the rockery pavilion and the huge tree-lined mansion.

He raised his old eyes and looked at his sullen son with aggrieved and pitiful eyes.

Seeing his strong mother showing such uneasiness for the first time, Lu Xiao rarely softened his tone and felt an indescribable guilt in his heart:

"No! What nonsense are you talking about? This is your home. You can stay here as long as you want."

After he finished speaking, he saw his wife pause in her steps and turned back to give him a fierce look.

Lu Xiao was impulsive.

She couldn't see the old woman pretending to be pitiful at her age. Jiang Keyuan seemed to ask casually:

"Mom! Where are the servants I arranged for you? Why didn't you bring them over?"

Lu Xiao also realized that he had clearly arranged people in the countryside to prevent the best from going to Beijing.

He said that he felt something was wrong at the beginning. It turned out that the person who looked after the old house was missing.

When she mentioned this, Mrs. Lu cried again: "They... they took away all the money and food along the way and ran away."

"Son! Mom and your two brothers almost starved to death on the road. Those black-hearted people... damn it!"

Ah! Sure enough, he was the spy spying on them. Fortunately, he was dealt with early and the two people could not know the truth.

Just throw the blame away!

How could it be possible that Jiang Keyuan was struck by lightning?

She arranged the person, mainly to torture Lu Yunjin. It was impossible to leave Zhengdao Village without telling her, and she would write to her before she really left.

Not to mention taking away the money and running away, which is simply nonsense.

I repeatedly assured my husband that there would be no problem. The old woman's words fell into Lu Xiao's ears. How should he view himself?

As expected, Lu Xiao's eyes were full of blame, blaming her people for not taking a good look at the people in Laozhai, and blaming them for almost killing his mother.

Jiang Keyuan has nowhere to vent her pain. She can't say: I sent you to torture your son. It's impossible for her to leave Zhengdao Village, right?

The dispute between the two fell into Mrs. Lu's eyes, and she sneered.

Wait! Now is just the beginning.
