Shocked! After planting, a sickly and charming first assistant will grow up.

Feeling resentful of this top-notch restaurant, Lu Xiao pinched his nose and held a reception banquet.

Not to mention the capital, only the Marquis Mansion has informants from various forces.

You always have to do what you want, and if you take one wrong step in the career of fame, wealth and officialdom, you may be shattered to pieces.

In order to appease his mother, Lu Xiao prepared a lot of delicious dishes.

Seeing the table full of sumptuous dishes that they had never seen before, the top students drooled.

They have never seen these dishes before, let alone eating them.

The old lady secretly hated her and couldn't help but feel resentful. A meal of pork in the countryside was considered good, but this beast actually had a feast of fish and meat in the capital.

It’s really frustrating.

In fact, she really wronged Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao is a new member of the court. Even if he is showing off to the emperor, he cannot be as extravagant and lustful as the old aristocratic family.

I prepared this table of delicious food just to shut his mother's mouth. If I knew it would lead to greater resentment, I would have given up on it long ago.

The old lady squinted her eyes: "Where's that woman? Why didn't she come?"

Knowing that I was going to cause trouble for my wife again, Lu Xiao smiled helplessly:

"This woman belongs to that woman! She is your daughter-in-law and the mistress of the Hou Mansion."

He emphasized the word "mistress" very strongly.

The meaning of the reminder is self-evident.

Seeing that the old lady was about to throw her chopsticks and act violently again, he rushed ahead and said, "Keyuan was in a coma and hasn't woken up yet."

Then he added meaningfully: "There are many people in the capital who talk a lot. Don't you want me to have a reputation of treating your daughter-in-law harshly and making her faint just now?"

"People outside don't care what the facts are. They only spread what they want to spread."

Seeing that her mother-in-law was choking, Ma added a large piece of fish meat to her bowl and said, "Mom, try it quickly. This squirrel mandarin fish has no fishy smell at all."

Not wanting to keep the relationship with her eldest son so tense, the old lady took the initiative to recall the past at the dinner table.

It is said that Lu Xiao was naughty when he was a child. He liked to go up trees and dig out bird's nests and cicada monkeys.

There is always a group of children following behind him, and he is truly the king of children in the village.

"When I was little, I had the best time with you, you were a bitch, remember? Before I came, my wife had just given birth to her fifth son, who weighed five pounds."

"You think she can give birth like this, tsk tsk!"

Recalling how he felt when he was a child, Lu Xiao rarely smiled softly:

"Really! Then I have to wrap a big red envelope and send someone to deliver it to him."

"What's more!" the old lady said and sighed, "Your uncle Li's old scalper died at the beginning of the year."

"You used to like to lie on the back of the cow and herd the cow."

"Dead?" Lu Xiao repeated in disbelief. He didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes were a little dim. "Thirty years, that's about it."

Under the constant guidance of the old lady and his two younger brothers, Lu Xiao took the initiative to care about those people deep in his memory.

The meal was quite enjoyable.

Mrs. Zhang simply fell in love with Luo Xi. These memories were indeed fatal. Her mother-in-law was also very powerful and used them very skillfully.

After swallowing the last abalone, the old lady put down her chopsticks and suddenly asked: "Boss! Don't you care about Yun Jin?"

Lu Xiao's hand when pouring wine paused, then he picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp: "How is he?"

The son who was smart since he was a child and won the first prize in the provincial examination at the age of fourteen was once his pride.

If he had not left the mountains, he would have been like most people in the village, raising his son well and placing his hopes on Lu Yunjin.

But after seeing the prosperity outside the mountains, he understood the truth that it is better to rely on yourself than relying on others.

Instead of pinning our hopes on our children and grandchildren, it is better to work hard while we are young.

He did it.

"My legs are disabled and there should be no chance of recovery." The old lady observed her son's face and said, "What a pity!"

Lu Xiao refilled a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. He was lost for a moment before saying, "Everyone has his own destiny!"

It's not that he didn't give Lu Yunjin a chance. That boy was as weak on the outside as his mother, but as stubborn as a cow on the inside.

He doesn't know how to judge the situation at all, and insists on fighting his stepmother for a dead person. How can he just live with it!

Seeing the indifference in Lu Xiao's eyes, the old lady took a breath.

Even if tiger poison does not eat its children, can she really expect a person who wants to give up his own son to have much affection for her own mother?

The next morning it was still dark.

Jiang Keyuan was awakened by the movement in the courtyard. She stretched out her hand to touch her side. Lu Xiao was not there, so he probably went to the morning court.

She put on her clothes and got out of bed, called her maid and asked, "What's going on outside? What's the fuss about so early in the morning?"

The maid hesitated and looked outside the courtyard, "Mrs. Zhang came here early in the morning and asked you to pay your respects to the old lady."

Jiang Keyuan laughed angrily, "I want to pay my respects to the old immortal? Does she deserve it?"

The maid was a little speechless when she thought of Mrs. Zhang who was acting recklessly and wallowing in the courtyard, but she had to report:

"Mrs. Zhang said that if you don't go, she will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask how the Prime Minister teaches his daughter."

Jiang Keyuan took a deep breath, her eyes were as cold as frost, and suddenly, she smiled...

He walked to the dressing table and picked out a few pieces of jewelry and handed them to the maid Cuiliu, "Find a box and put it in it. This is my filial gift to my mother-in-law."

Looking at the gorgeous gold Bu Yao and a red hairpin studded with precious stones, Cuiliu was puzzled and reminded: "Madam, this is a gift from the emperor."

Jiang Keyuan threw away the tassel earrings in her hand and pinched Cuiliu's chin, which was in pain, with two fingers.

The voice was sinister: "I just want to give them the gifts given by the emperor. Do you understand?"

Cuiliu didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from following orders.

"What a bunch of trash." Jiang Keyuan supported her head and rubbed her forehead.

If Aunt Tian was still here, she would definitely understand what she meant immediately.

The things given by the emperor cannot be bought or sold, and cannot be transferred or lost.

As long as a group of country bumpkins who have never seen the world dare to wear the gifts given by the emperor, she can send them back to their hometown in one fell swoop.

"..."

When the arrogant and arrogant Mrs. Zhang walked in with Jiang Keyuan, the old lady and others were having breakfast.

When I see someone coming, I don’t even say hello to sit down.

Lu Xiao wasn't there, so she didn't even bother to pretend.

Compared to being caught off guard yesterday, Jiang Keyuan was well-dressed today, with a face that was unfazed by the aristocratic family.

But the dark blue under her eyes still showed that she didn't sleep well last night.

He picked a chair and sat down and got straight to the point: "Mom! Now that you are here, I hope we can be a good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

After a pause, he added: "My husband has a hard life every day. I don't want him to go through all kinds of troubles when he gets home."

"You don't like me, and to be honest, I don't like you either. If mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can't be together, we can do it without disturbing each other."

"This is my sincerity." She motioned Cuiliu to hand over the wooden box.

Ma quickly took it and opened it. A dazzling red light flashed through, making her eyes wide open: "Mom... Oh my god!"

"Ruby and Zhu Chai! Come and see, the ruby ​​is as big as a peanut."

The second uncle and the third uncle gathered around, and even the sullen old lady couldn't help but look sideways, with unconcealable greed flashing in her eyes.

She doesn't necessarily have to fight to the death with Jiang Keyuan.

If... if she could show more such filial piety, it wouldn't be impossible to consider playing the role of a good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of others.

The fish bit the hook, and contempt flashed in Jiang Keyuan's eyes.
