Chapter 127 I will be pissed off sooner or later
"You!" At that time, Yang Jin only heard the maid telling her to go back first because the lady was meeting guests and it was temporarily inconvenient to handle affairs. Who knew that Tu would be so disrespectful to her!
Mrs. Tu glanced at her and said, "It seems that my subordinates are incompetent and did not tell Second Aunt. I will have to give them a good scolding when I get back."
"That's enough! Tu, stop being so weird. As the principal wife, you should be kind and generous. Why are you like this now? What's the difference between you and the shrews out there? You can't be tolerant and generous to your concubines, and you are so arrogant and domineering to your husband. Do you have any moral principles in your eyes?" Xia Liu was so angry that he almost died. Did the mother and daughter want to piss him off to death? It was outrageous!
"If the master wants to say so, then I have to ask. Since ancient times, there has only been one man and one wife with multiple concubines. Favoring concubines and abandoning wives is also against the moral code. The master has made me and the second concubine equal for many years, and he has confiscated the housekeeping power and handed it over to the second concubine at will. Even my children are not treated as well as her children in this mansion! The best courtyard in the mansion was given to her Yang Jin, and the best jewelry and clothes flowed into Wenpinxuan. Even one-third of the shops outside were transferred to Yang Jin's name. If you say that I treat her harshly, I'm afraid she is deliberately trying to replace me!"
Tu never said anything, simply because fame and fortune are external things and there is no point in fighting for them, but he also cannot allow others to covet what belongs to him.
"I am the head of this family, not you! Who can interfere with what I do? Besides, I don't need to report anything to you, so don't you keep an eye on me?" Xia Liu never thought that the weak Tu would be so aggressive and even want to control what he does!
"I'm the head lady of this mansion, the principal wife, and I'm in charge of the internal affairs of the Shangshu Mansion. Let alone how much you gave Yang Jin, I even know how much silver the clothes on your body cost, who made them, when and where. Do you need me to monitor you for all this? As the principal wife, this is what your servant should report to me." Tu was really feeling upset. No wonder Yan'er always disobeyed Xia Liu.
Xia Liu was so angry that he jumped up from his seat. Yang Jin, who was lying beside his legs, ignored him and pointed at Tu who was sitting upright, cursing: "You! You! You are so arrogant and proud! You actually do something like this to pry into other people's privacy! I tell you, if it weren't for Bai'er's determination, I would have divorced you, a jealous woman, long ago. Not letting you become an abandoned woman is already a good thing for you. Just wait and see if your noble brother will protect you!"
Tu smiled instead of getting angry: "Divorce me? You asked me to marry you because I was the Queen Mother's confidant, and now you want to divorce me? I tell you, even if my brother can't come forward because of his official status, just because I am the son of a general and the daughter of Prince Luo's wife, just wait and see who will divorce whom!"
"Don't mention that Yang Jin is now the biological mother of Prince Yuan's concubine. She has committed treason, seduced the master, and bullied the mistress. Even if she has an imperial decree, as long as I bring her to court, she will still not escape the consequences of being executed by slow slicing. Even if my brother doesn't come forward, just based on my name, Tu Ling, I want to see who dares to bend the law for personal gain!"
Tu was usually calm, and her slow words at this moment seemed more like bullying.
"You!" What could Xia Liu do? He married Tu because of Tu Song and the Queen Mother. He thought Tu was weak and easy to control. However, after more than 20 years of dating, he found out that Tu was a tough guy.
"Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. I will not punish you and give you some face as the principal wife. Let's just forget about the matter of the second concubine and never mention it again. Tu, you are really going too far. If it weren't for Bai'er, I would have divorced you just for what you said today. All right! Don't add to your bad luck on a day like this, go back to your respective courtyards!" Tu sneered, a dog man who bullies the weak and fears the strong!
However, Tu was too lazy to argue with him. She stood up, brushed her sleeves, and walked out without even looking at the two people next to her.
"Master..." Yang Jin was unwilling to accept that he let Tu win a game.
"Shut up! Who told you to trespass into the front yard? Prime Minister Tu and Marquis Wu'an are both in the mansion, don't you know? Prime Minister Tu has always disliked me. When he knew that I took two concubines, he looked down on me for a long time. Now you blatantly let him know that I am protecting you. Who knows, he might even put obstacles in my way in the officialdom! *Xia Liu was extremely angry. The Tu brothers and sisters simply didn't want him to have an easy time!
Yang Jin was also unhappy: "Why don't you divorce Tu and let the Tu family lose face?"
"You know shit! It's just a woman's opinion. Who is Tu? You can divorce her if you want? Can you afford to offend the Right Prime Minister and the Queen Mother? Bai'er just left, and I divorced his mother right after. Who do you think he is protecting? And that unfilial daughter has rebelled a long time ago. I'm afraid she can't wait to piss me off to death!" Xia Liu was so angry that he broke the tea bowl next to him. Not feeling satisfied, he looked at Tu's upside-down tea bowl, got even angrier, and threw it to the ground.
Xia Yanxiang, who was outside the door, had almost heard this.
Leading Tinglan out, he casually said to the servant beside him, "You don't know whether I have been here or not. You also don't know what the master and the mistress said. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, I am just doing my duty. I don't know anything about my master's affairs, and I will not make irresponsible remarks." The servant apologized with a smile.
The Third Young Miss has changed so quickly that even the Madam has changed. How could a servant like him dare to say anything?
In two days it would be the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, which was also the day when concubines would come to visit their parents. However, as Xia Pinxiang was a concubine, Prince Yuan would not come.
Fortunately, although Tu had a falling out with Xia Liu that day, she did not abandon the domestic affairs. Otherwise, the concubine would be embarrassed when she came today.
At one o'clock in the morning, Xia Liu and his entire family stood outside the mansion waiting.
Originally, no one went to call Xia Yanxiang. Firstly, the Third Miss's personality had changed drastically. She became very aloof and her temper became much colder. Secondly, when the concubine was waiting to be married, she always liked to compete with the Third Miss for the top spot.
I thought the concubine had risen to a higher position, but unexpectedly the third lady was granted marriage to the king's principal wife, which made her superior to the second lady. Even if the third lady didn't go, outsiders wouldn't say anything.
But today, Xia Yanxiang had already washed and dressed herself up early. She even wore a emerald willow catkin double-breasted pleated skirt and a snow-white fox fur cape as a coat - that was specially sent by Mo Yuchen.
Before leaving, Xia Yanxiang specially carried many hot water bottles on her body, sealed them in leather bags, and gave many of them to Tu, instructing her to tie them on her body.
According to the rules, the concubine should arrive at the Shangshu Mansion at around 2:45 am when she comes to visit her parents, and they only need to come out to greet her at around 3:45 am when she comes to visit. Who knew that Xia Liu had to come out so early!
Xia Liu and Xia Zhiyang were men and naturally could hold the line, but the younger Xia Qianxiang and Xia Zhifeng were far from being able to handle it, so Tu had people prepare cloaks and hot water bottles for them in advance.
Xia Yanxiang originally didn't plan to come as the weather was so cold, but she couldn't bear to see her mother and younger brothers and sisters suffer outside, so since she couldn't hide away, she might as well come along.
