The Xie Mansion banquet was very happy. Li accepted the guests' flattery and toasts from them continuously, and was radiant for a while. ←,

After drinking and eating, Li was drunk. Mrs. Xie and Zhou helped her into the inner hall to rest. Li did not forget to remind Zhou: "Remember to bring some food to the fourth and sons, but they are not yet at home."

In the past, Li's eyes almost ignored everyone except the eldest son, and he would not show her concern and consideration to other sons and even grandsons. Zhou did not expect that Li would start to "love" people now, and he actually thought about Shen Mingxin and his son.

Zhou said, "Please rest assured, mom, my daughter-in-law has already ordered the girl to deliver meals to the fourth uncle and Liulang at noon. Liulang took the exam before, and I was afraid that he would be distracted by doing chores, so I did this. This time I was just adding personal meals."

Mrs. Li was very relieved and praised Mrs. Xie and several women in front of Mrs. Xie: "I am really a good daughter-in-law of the Shen family. Do you show that Jun has such a good fortune and marry you back?"

Zhou's cheeks turned slightly red, and she said respectfully: "Mom is too proud, these are what my daughter-in-law should do."

The people next to him were amazed when they saw it: "What a kind mother, a filial son..."

With this praise, even Mrs. Xie felt that Bei'er was very proud. It was rare that her grandmother and her mother were so harmonious. In the future, her daughter would be influenced by the Shen family. Isn't it a model for a good wife and a good mother?

When he arrived in the backyard, Li took Mrs. Xie's hand and asked questions, but he always revolved around a topic: When did Xie Yuner get pregnant?

Perhaps Li drank a few more drinks, talked a lot, and had no scruples, which made Mrs. Xie extremely embarrassed... Her daughter had not yet fulfilled her husband's wife, and you always wanted a great-grandson now. Are you too hasty?

The banquet outside was run by Xie Bolian and Shen Mingjun, and inside were two women sitting together and chatting about homely words.

After all, it was not a wedding banquet. After noon, the banquet gradually ended. The Xie family began to clean up the tables, chairs, dishes, and Xie Bolian and Shen Mingjun came in with smiles to pay tribute to Li.

When Li saw Xie Bolian, he knew that his former name was a famous doctor in the capital, and he couldn't help asking: "His in-laws, my grandson and daughter-in-law have been married for almost a year. Why didn't she see any movement in her stomach?"

The smile on Xie Bolian's face froze suddenly, and he naturally thought of the fact that his daughter did not reunite with his son-in-law.

Zhou quickly comforted: "Mom, Qilang is young, so you don't have to worry about holding your grandson."

Li was a little unhappy: "All the top scholars are you, and you still think that he is an ordinary child? He wants to do big things. The most important thing for women around you is to have children for him and manage family affairs for him, so that men can have the heart to work hard outside... Since the beginning of the family completion, I have reminded you to urge them to have a child as soon as possible. You have not kept your mother's words in your heart!"

Li had been kind and friendly before, and respected and polite to Zhou, but when it came to Shen Xi's affairs, she showed the majesty of the head of the family.

But Mrs. Xie looked at Zhou with questioning eyes and asked tremblingly: "Dear... mother-in-law, two young... have they completed their family?"

Zhou's answer was hard to answer at this time!

She did not notify the Xie family of Shen Xi and Xie Yuner in the face of Li's supervision, but it was difficult to explain the matter in front of Li's face, so she could only nod awkwardly: "Yes."

Xie Bolian and his wife looked at each other and saw the joy on each other's face. Xie Bolian said with a grudge: "The little girl set off to go to the capital and asked her that she still said no. Could it be that the couple had just met... Haha, a good thing! A great thing!"

After Xie Bolian finished speaking, she suddenly realized that the atmosphere in the room was not right. Li's face turned pale in an instant. Shen Mingjun and his wife lowered their heads as if they had admitted their mistakes, and even Mrs. Xie stopped talking.

Shen Mingjun and his wife naturally had a ghost in their hearts. As for Mrs. Xie, she soon realized the problem... Her daughter had not yet fulfilled her family before leaving Tingzhou. Even if she had settled her house in Beijing, the news could not be transmitted back to Tingzhou so quickly. After all, she has not even received Xie Yuner's family letter.

Li glared at Zhou first, and suddenly remembered that this daughter-in-law was the most insidious and cunning, and turned to Shen Mingjun: "Youngest, what's going on?"

"Mom... Actually..."

Shen Mingjun's face turned red, and there was no explanation for this matter.

Zhou quickly said, "Mom, this is not a place to talk. Let's talk about it after we get home."

If it were the past, it would be strange if Li's irritable temper was not immediately asked, but now it is different from the past. Li suddenly suppressed the anger in his heart and nodded, "Okay, let's talk about it when you go back."

Xie Bolian and his wife didn't know what secrets were in the middle, and they were a little confused for a moment.

Because of this sudden change, Li had no intention of staying in the Xie family for a long time, so he got up and took his son and daughter-in-law back to the Shen family.

After leaving the Xie Mansion gate, people kept gathering to greet him. Li's face was calm and he kept nodding as a response. However, when he returned home in a sedan chair, Li's face turned dark as soon as he entered the yard. Even Hui Niang, who came to Zhou to talk about the pharmacy, found that something was wrong.

"Tell me! What's going on with Qilang and his wife?" Li casually found a stool and sat down, asking angrily.

Shen Mingjun was not good at speaking, and the task of explaining finally fell on Zhou.

At this time, Zhou was no longer as timid as he was back then. What would you say? I will tell you the truth in the first place. We were husband and wife, son and daughter-in-law, and we worked together to show you the scene. What can you do to me?

Or you drive me, my daughter-in-law, out of the house, no matter whether you are willing to bear the infamy of making a fuss about family changes, so what if you really drive me out of the Shen family? I have the money to support myself. At worst, I can take the money to the capital to join my son. My son will never treat me badly if he has the ability.

The more Li listened, the darker her face became. She didn't expect that the completion of the family, which she personally supervised in the first year, was still just a play.

Seeing that Zhou's attitude was wrong, Hui Niang was worried and thought: "Sister has been suppressed for too long and speaks so arrogantly. Explain to the old lady that it will be fine. If this continues, the Shen family will have to make a fuss."

Zhou is no longer the little woman who was the one who let her mother-in-law and sister-in-law bullied her and didn't even dare to say anything. Her current attitude is, I clearly tell you that it would be better if you can accept it. If it doesn't work, it would be a big deal.

Even Shen Mingjun pulled Zhou's sleeves away, she threw them away. She had suffered so much with her husband over the years, and now she was so unbearable.

When his son won the top scorer, Zhou's grievances broke out completely.

"...That's all. After all, it was my mother who was forced to do it. He should have the idea of ​​my son's marriage. I am the mother who listens to my son's words the most."

A woman follows her father at home, a husband after marriage, and a son when she is old. Zhou said this, which means that she is ready to be swept out of the house to follow her son...

I just have a good son!

My son is more dear than you, the old guy!

If you have the ability, you will drive me out of the Shen family!

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Li was silent for a while, and finally he just curled his lips slightly, with a little proud look on his face: "It's still my grandson who is smart, even a person of my age can hide it!"

In a word, Shen Mingjun and Hui Niang present couldn't understand.

Is Li a change in nature?

Li said, "I stayed outside his room when Qilang got married that day, and I didn't notice anything different. Who can put it on you? He is not old, but he knows a lot of things. In addition, the girl from the Xie family cooperates with him with all his strength..."

"But then again, it's still my Qilang who is smart. Perhaps he doesn't want to get involved in his children's affair for a long time, for fear of delaying his studies. Now the girl from the Xie family has gone to the capital. My Qilang who likes her will accept her, and if she doesn't like it, she will settle down. In the future, he will marry the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital."

"I will not interfere with Qilang's marriage, and you and your wife should not interfere!"

Shen Mingjun was completely confused: "Mom, what are you talking about?"

However, Hui Niang, an outsider, finally understood and couldn't help but smile: "It's still the old lady who is enlightened!"

Li's face was full of pride, and this complacentness was exactly the same as the arrogance that Zhou showed in front of Huiniang: "That's right, don't look at whose grandson it is. Only when he endures hardships can he become the best. My Qilang has the ability. If he is bound by my Shen family in the future, it will inevitably affect his career. What he wants to do and how he does in the future will be subject to him, as long as he has our Shen family in his heart."

Li didn't care and let Shen Xi decide on the major marriage events by herself, and even gave Shen Xi enough independence and autonomy, which sounded like a good thing.

But when Zhou heard this, his heart suddenly became angry.

My son was born to me, and I am his biological mother. I should be the one who has his affairs. Even if I let my son let go of his wings and fly, I should be the one who says this. Why should you, the grandmother, decide for him?

Zhou sneered, "I don't like to listen to my mother's words. My son's marriage is up to him. However, before making decisions, you should ask me and my husband about the opinions. Isn't the marriage the matchmaker's orders? When is it my grandmother's turn to decide for him?"

Li was so angry that he slapped the table: "What did you say?"

Zhou's voice then raised Lao Gao... Mom, I see that you are unhappy for many years. I want me to give up today, but there is no room for me: "Does my mother become deaf when she is old, and she can't even hear what her daughter-in-law says?"

Li was furious. Before entering the city, she thought that she must establish a good relationship with her youngest daughter-in-law and be harmonious with her mother-in-law and let others know that my Shen family is united. I have something to be sorry for my youngest daughter-in-law over the years. Even if she scolds me in front of me, I will admit it.

Not thinking about the coming of time is another matter.

"You...you are so unfair!"

Li stood up because he had small feet, the ground in the yard was not very flat and he could hardly stand. He held Shen Mingjun's arm with one hand and pointed at his "unfilial" daughter-in-law with the other hand.

Zhou replied with his waist and said, "You skept-minded old woman, you have never been in a good mood in this life, right? I have always remembered that you have an eldest son, but your eldest son has given you some promising... I hope that he will pass the imperial examination and let us all the people work hard for so many years, but what about the end? Isn't it that my son has the ability to pass the imperial examination and get the top scorer again?"

Li was so angry that he couldn't speak. He bent down and took off his shoes and smashed them at Zhou. Zhou was very clever and flicked them away in a flash. Then he pointed to his face and said, "I have the ability to hit him here."

Hui Niang originally wanted to dissuade her, but she knew she couldn't persuade her. When the neighbors heard the news, they would come over immediately... She quickly left the door and closed the yard door from outside.

The neighbors also wondered what happened to the Shen family. Fortunately, people were busy making a living in the afternoon, and many families had no one. Those who were all standing at the door. A few people passed by the gate of the Shen family courtyard and couldn't help but stop and listen.

Hui Niang hurried forward and explained it to let the neighbors and pedestrians disperse.

Soon the noise in the yard subsided. It must be that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knew that such noise would damage the reputation of the Shen family, so they returned to the intermediate yard to find a room to argue.

Hui Niang could not get involved in the Shen family's family affairs, so she could only worry about it outside the courtyard gate.

It was not until sunset that the Shen family door opened again. Hui Niang thought that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would quarrel, but unexpectedly, Zhou respectfully helped Li come out.

It's a mother who is kind and filial to her son...

Li said kindly: "Young wife, let him decide what Qilang is doing in the future. Let's not meddle in other people's business. He has a bright future and wants to be a co-magistrate or even a prefect. We cannot be influenced by us."

Zhou had He Xi’s smile on his face: “Mom reminded me, who said that this is not the case?”

Hui Niang looked surprised. She realized something when she was sure that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not acting...

It’s really different from the past!
