Chapter 97.7
What a good idea. But this is good too. Let’s slowly play. It won’t be interesting if you die so soon.
Zi You put on an aggrieved expression and tearfully said, “You’er has been to Waipo’s house a few times with mother and brought ShiYun every time. But You’er has been with Waipo those few times and have never seen Fifth Shaoye. How can Fifth Shaoye… how can he…?”
Zi You’s words reminded Old General Mu. Old General Mu immediately smiled coldly and asked, “Right. That is hard to believe. Your fu’s Fifth Shaoye had never seen You’er, so how can he like You’er’s maidservant? You are a Duke and your fu should have a sense of propriety, justice, integrity, and honor. So what is this mess? This general seriously questions your family’s upbringing. Our two families shouldn’t maintain contact anymore. Please excuse this general for no longer agreeing to his first daughter-in-law and You’er coming over to your fu, other than for holidays.”
Duke Yingguo thickened his face and shouted anxiously, “Relative-in-law, relative-in-law, don’t be angry. This is my one son’s fault. You can’t scold my whole fu’s people. Especially Ping’er. She’s my obedient daughter and pearl in my palm. Marrying her to be your son’s concubine is already doing her wrong…”
“Okay, if you feel that we’re doing her wrong, then take her back. Our Mu fu doesn’t want her!” Old General Mu fiercely interrupted Duke Yingguo’s words.
Then he held Zi You’s arms and coldly said, “An obedient daughter will beat and hit her husband’s deceased wife’s daughter and hurt You’er’s arms. You think that if she wasn’t young and that sending her back to her maiden family would ruin her life, our Mu fu want such an unvirtuous and unworthy daughter-in-law?”
Zi You immediately pretended to be cute and loveable. She lightly tugged her grandfather’s clothing. She softly said, “Forget it, grandfather. Mother couldn’t stand seeing father taking in another yiniang. She was momentarily anxious… Ultimately, it’s because mother really values father. Grandfather, forgive her.”
