Chapter 2633: Chapter 2633: Going Astray (Part 1)
"What’s wrong with bullying someone? We are the Xu Family, my grandmother is a county noble, so what’s wrong with bullying someone? Besides, I didn’t even know that was Yang Ruxin." Xu Huairui was still feeling particularly aggrieved because she had bullied people before, and nothing ever happened, right? Even if that Yang Ruxin is formidable, she didn’t know it, and ignorance should be forgiven, shouldn’t it? Why had things suddenly become so serious?
Meng Shuang laughed in anger and slapped her daughter.
The mother-in-law is just a county noble, yet she thinks she’s a princess? Even a princess wouldn’t be so arrogant. Haven’t you seen Jiang Fangfei? She’s a princess now, but she remains very low-key.
She regretted it very much now; she shouldn’t have let her daughter follow her mother-in-law back then. Now she’s been led astray, and it’s probably impossible to correct her. But fortunately, their son was personally educated by her and her husband, otherwise, he might have gone down the wrong path too.
In fact, if the Xu Family could always have the imperial family’s favor, then it wouldn’t matter if her daughter went astray, at least they’d have the capital to be arrogant. But that is no longer the case now.
Wang Zhengzheng was called the Jixiang doll, but she died just like that, without causing even a ripple. What does this mean? It means the mother-in-law has lost favor.
An Aristocratic Family that loses favor and cannot see the situation clearly has only one dead end.
Xu Huairui was stunned by the slap, holding her face and looking at her mother in disbelief.
"Someone, take the young lady back to her courtyard," Meng Shuang was now determined to properly teach her daughter, "Without my order, do not let her out."
Immediately, someone came over.
"I won’t go, Grandmother, save me..."
But Meng Shuang was resolute and directly gave her daughter another slap to make her behave: "If you cause any more trouble and want the Xu Family to face a catastrophe, then behave. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to send you to the Guzi Temple."
Xu Huairui shivered, looking at her mother’s firm gaze. She knew her mother would indeed do as she said, and she stopped crying and making a fuss.
Meng Shuang felt heartache too; after all, it was her daughter. Her offspring were not abundant, just one daughter and one son, how could she not be pained? But the example of Wang Zhengzheng was in front of them; the result of arrogance was losing her life, and she hoped her daughter could live well.
In Meng Shuang’s heart, Wang Zhengzheng’s death was entirely the work of Yang Ruxin, but strangely, neither the Emperor nor the Empress Dowager blamed her with a single word. Instead, her reputation remained prominent throughout the noble circle.
Enduring some suffering is always better than dying.
Xu Huairui was immediately escorted away.
The county noble of Annan had a very unpleasant expression, raising her hand to point at Meng Shuang, but couldn’t say a single word.
Since the incident with Wang Zhengzheng, the Empress Dowager hadn’t liked her. In a fit of anger, she fell ill, and although she recovered later, her health was ruined.
Just like now, too angry to speak a word, she could only watch as her daughter-in-law shut her granddaughter away.
"Mother, if you’re not well, you should rest." Meng Shuang glanced at the county noble of Annan, "Daughter-in-law takes her leave." Saying that, she turned and left.
The county noble of Annan rolled her eyes immediately, but fortunately, she didn’t faint. The servant hurriedly came over to help her to the back hall to lie down and called for a doctor.
As for Meng Shuang, disregarding her own discomfort, after locking her daughter away, she had someone bring Xu Menghai back.
"What happened? Why so urgent?" Xu Menghai rushed back, his brows furrowed deeply.
