"Ahem, my nephew actually doesn't have any secrets. Even if he does... you already know it, mother-in-law." Zhou Xingyun smiled awkwardly. He never expected that Liu Guilan could investigate so clearly.
Everyone knows these two ungrateful names.
"Yun'er, you really opened my eyes to my mother-in-law. If your uncle and mother know about this, they will definitely be happy to heaven."
"Um, aren't you happy, my aunt?" In the past, Zhou Xingyun obviously couldn't hear the hidden meaning of Liu Guilan's words, but he could hear it now, so he could only use soldiers to cover up the water and earth, follow what his aunt said, and listen.
Find out what her plans are.
"Auntie, I really can't be happy. Look at your status today. You are in the fifth rank. You live in a luxurious mansion and have beautiful maids. Yun'er knows that your mansion is half as big as the mansions where the elders live.
, in your eyes, our Jianshu Villa is probably just a bunch of common people and reckless warriors."
"No, no, no! Jianshu Villa has been as kind to me as a mountain. He raised me, taught me, and brought me up. How could my nephew be ungrateful and look down on his family background? Wouldn't that mean he looks down on himself?"
"Oh, my aunt, I feel so angry just looking at you."
"Are you mad at me?"
"My aunt is not angry with you. Yun'er is conscientious and a good man who does great things. Look at you now, and you are prosperous in the capital. It's not too late for my aunt to praise you, so how can I be angry with you? I'm angry, aunt."
It’s your unsatisfactory second senior sister, look at her mean body, I can’t teach her well no matter how hard I teach her.”
"..." Zhou Xingyun fell silent. When Liu Guilan talked about Tang Yuanying, he immediately guessed the reason why his aunt came to visit him.
"Yun'er, my aunt's heart aches so much, do you know? For such a good son-in-law like you, my aunt can only expect to have three blessings in life. But... alas." Liu Guilan lamented loudly. Tang Yuanying's current situation is really...
Not even comparable to the maids in Zhou Xingyun's official residence.
Liu Guilan had secretly observed the maids in the house. They were still virgins and they were all pure and innocent girls. No wonder Zhou Xingyun had gone out of his way a while ago and maliciously accused Tang Yuanying in front of them. He dared to forget the old love after having a new love and no longer looked like him.
As before, he regarded Tang Yuanying as his treasure and tried every possible means to maintain the engagement.
Admittedly, Liu Guilan also understood that Zhou Xingyun could not be blamed for this. If his daughter could live up to her expectations and treat him better, with Zhou Xingyun's nature, she would definitely be willing to marry her. Unfortunately, Tang Yuanying always felt that Zhou Xingyun was not worthy of her, and she always felt that the other party was not good enough for her.
It's a toad that wants to eat swan meat. Now, it's clear who is not worthy of whom. Not to mention whether Zhou Xingyun still wants to marry Tang Yuanying as his wife, even a concubine is probably not in his consideration range.
"Auntie, there are some things that you can't force. Second senior sister doesn't have me in her heart." Zhou Xingyun smiled helplessly. He understood Liu Guilan's intention. She just wanted him to marry Tang Yuanying, but the key to the problem was not him.
Tang Yuanying looked down upon others and her attitude towards him was obvious. There was really no need for her to keep them together.
"Yun'er, you are famous and have many beauties around you. Do you look down on my Yuanying? Do you think she is not virtuous enough? Do you think she is not good enough for you?"
"Mother, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that..."
"What don't you mean? You clearly mean it. Think about it, your uncle and I ignored the objections of the elders of Jianshu Villa, no matter what everyone said about you, looked down upon you, and thought you were a libertine. But your uncle and I both
I don’t mind, but I insist on letting Yuan Ying marry you, and even refuse other young masters to come to propose marriage. Do you know why? Because your uncle and I know that Yuan Ying has a bad temper, and only you can accommodate her, and only you can give her happiness."
"But what about you? After you became a high official in Beijing, you despised our Tang family and felt that Yuan Ying was unruly and willful and unworthy of him. Did you know that that day you stopped protecting Yuan Ying and complained to us, uncle?
Mom is really sad. This is no longer the nephew I knew who would pamper my daughter."
"Auntie, Yun'er realizes that she was wrong. It was my fault. I shouldn't have complained maliciously. It's just that the second senior sister really doesn't love me. If you let me marry her, she is the one who is unhappy." Zhou Xingyun explained with tears in his eyes.
, If he had known that day, he would not have complained randomly, which aroused Liu Guilan's suspicion. But now, the mother-in-law bumped into him by mistake, thinking that he was arrogant and arrogant, thinking that he was not a good family member, and looked down on their Tang family.
"Yun'er, poor parents in the world. I only have this one daughter. I'm so afraid that Yuanying will be abandoned by thieves and villains. I beg you, mother-in-law, please don't dislike Yuanying. You can even take her as your concubine.
, take good care of her for me." Liu Guilan used soft and hard tactics, holding Zhou Xingyun's hands and begging, and then took a deep breath: "If you don't agree, I will kneel here today and won't leave..."
"Auntie! Oh my god...please don't hurt your nephew! I promise you that! I promise that I will definitely take good care of the second senior sister!" The moment Liu Guilan knelt down, Zhou Xingyun quickly used all his strength to hold her up.
The other party. He never expected that Liu Guilan would actually play the tragedy card to him. This move was so incredible that he had to obey even if he didn't want to.
You must know that there are only a few elders who have loved him, cared about him, protected him, and thought about him since he was a child. If Liu Guilan can do this, he will definitely not let down her expectations.
"Yun'er, my aunt knows that Yuanying is overbearing and not worthy of you. Compared to the tender girls around you, she is just an ignorant yellow-haired girl."
"My uncle's words are serious. Second senior sister is pure and pure. She is a rare and beautiful woman." Zhou Xingyun helped Liu Guilan sit down on the chair and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't I still know my daughter? In the past, it was my fault that I spoiled your second senior sister so much that she dared to be so presumptuous. But things are different now. This girl's character must be changed, so..." Liu Guilan suddenly picked it up and put it next to the table.
He made a rattan whip and thrust it into Zhou Xingyun's hand.
"What is this weapon used for?" When Zhou Xingyun met Liu Guilan, he was confused as to why his mother-in-law was waiting at the door of his house with a rattan whip. In the past, he was disobedient, and her mother seemed to also use this weapon.
The thing spanked him...
"No, it is the domestic whip of our Tang family, designed to treat disobedient little women. I will give it to you today. If Yuanying dares to disobey you in the future, you can use it to whip her hard! For Auntie
Give her a good cure for her ugly bones. I promise you, if Yuanying sees it, she will immediately tremble with fear and kneel down to let you do whatever you want." Liu Guilan seemed to be afraid that Zhou Xingyun would not care about her and Tang Yanzhong, and she was very powerful.
He added: "Yun'er, don't worry about me and your uncle. It's been so many years. Someone should step forward and teach Yuan Ying what it means to be a husband and his wife. I believe my uncle, as long as you become fierce, Yuan Ying will
They will be more well-behaved than kittens and puppies, and... there will be unexpected gains."
Liu Guilan 200% believed that once Zhou Xingyun tried some sweeteners and found out how good Tang Yuanying was, he would spare no effort and indulge in training little women all day long...
Zhou Xingyun was willing to welcome him but refused, and he was willing to accept the Tang family's whip. Since his mother-in-law said that she would accept the job, he reluctantly took over the important task of disciplining Tang Yuanying. Anyway, his martial arts is better than Tang Yuanying now, so she would dare to do it in front of him in the future.
If you jump up and down and stare, then I'm sorry, I'll serve you according to my family's rules!
"From now on, Yuanying, please leave it to Yun'er." Liu Guilan smiled softly, and she reached an agreement with Zhou Xingyun. However, even if she gave Zhou Xingyun the family whip used by the Tang family, she would never relax like last time.
Discipline Tang Yuanying to prevent the tragedy from happening again and again.
Zhou Xingyun originally wanted to talk to the short-haired woman, but Liu Guilan was waiting in front of the house. Now Zhou Xingyun had no choice but to return to the town with her and wait until tomorrow to make arrangements.
The two stopped a carriage at the intersection and returned to the small town of Jianshu, talking and laughing. Liu Guilan also asked Zhou Xingyun many things on the way, and he answered everything in detail, telling his aunt about his situation in the court.
, including the fact that he and the current crown prince are inseparable, and he is lurking around the sixteenth prince as an undercover agent, only to jump back and reveal his identity when the time is right, and assist the current crown prince to ascend the throne...
Liu Guilan was a person Zhou Xingyun could trust, so he told the whole story, hoping that his mother-in-law would keep his secrets and not let his mother know.
If Liu Guilan was willing to help secretly, concealing things for him and preventing Yang Lin and the people at Jianshu Villa from knowing the truth, then it would be much easier for him when he was serving as the imperial supervisor at the Young Heroes Conference. At least when he was away,
Auntie can help him cover...
Zhou Xingyun is an old fox now. He can tell that Liu Guilan has the most evil intentions in Jianshu Villa and is the deepest in the city. As long as she helps him smooth things over, even if he disappears without showing his face for more than ten days, no one in Jianshu Villa will notice.
Appropriate.
No wonder Uncle Tang used to be so romantic, but his mother-in-law turned him into a good husband, which is really sad. Fortunately, Tang Yuanying only inherited half of his mother-in-law's wit, only "ki" but no "wisdom", and he was a fool who didn't pull the trigger.
…
After Liu Guilan heard Zhou Xingyun's words, she was even more shocked. What would happen if she befriended the current prince? Doesn't that mean that once the prince ascends the throne, Zhou Xingyun will be the emperor's brother!
What's more, Zhou Xingyun, as a secret chess player who turned defeat into victory, lurked beside the Sixteenth Prince. How much His Highness trusted him to let him take on such an important responsibility.
In other words, as long as the current prince ascends the throne, Zhou Xingyun will be like a founding hero, a famous confidant around the emperor, and a minister with power over the entire government.
Thinking of this, Liu Guilan took a deep breath silently and tried her best to keep herself calm. Then she made a promise to Zhou Xingyun that she would do her best to help him solve the problems related to Jianshu Villa. If he had any trouble, he could come to her for discussion.
On condition that no matter what happens in the future, Zhou Xingyun cannot abandon Tang Yuanying.
You can teach, you can beat, you can scold, you can even slightly abuse, but you can't give up. This is the condition Liu Guilan put forward.
I'm sorry that Liu Guilan has begun to worry that her precious daughter is not perfect, which makes Zhou Xingyun see something fishy, because talking to Zhou Xingyun today feels very different from the past. Liu Guilan always feels that the little guy is a thief, and many little calculators can calculate more and further than her.
