Chapter 332: What does she think of this marriage? Is it a joke?
Just as Lu Xinlan had someone deliver the letter to the Yun family, Liu's nanny came over.
She listened to the scolding in the nanny's words and rubbed her eyebrows with a headache. At this moment, she really didn't want to be distracted by Liu.
After sending the nanny away, she thought for a moment and ordered someone to call Tang Chongli back from the front yard.
Tang Chongli didn't understand what was going on, and was a little dazed when he saw her serious expression.
"Xinlan, what happened?"
"Let's go talk to mother."
After she finished speaking, she walked out of the yard first. Tang Chongli's heart was beating wildly for no reason. He always felt that something was about to happen that he was unwilling to accept or face.
Liu was scolding the nanny for not being able to call someone over. She was so useless that she couldn't even control a little girl!
She must set rules for Lu Xinlan today. If she refuses to obey, don't blame her for not considering the relationship.
When Lu Xinlan walked in and saw her expression, he guessed what she was thinking.
She turned sideways to allow Tang Chongli to enter.
"Mother, my daughter-in-law encountered an extremely dangerous situation in Ruyi Tower today. She almost lost her life and could never come back to see you and my husband."
Liu: “……?!!”
What do you mean?
Is this an attempt to take the initiative?
Her expression changed several times and she snorted unpleasantly, "If I remember correctly, you took the initiative to invite the girl from the Duke's Mansion and Princess Wei to Ruyi Tower today, right?"
If she hadn't taken the initiative to ask these people out, how could they have encountered the danger she mentioned?
She rolled her eyes in a not-so-subtle way, and put on a very straightforward look that said, "It's all your own fault."
Before Lu Xinlan could say anything, Tang Chongli's expression changed first.
"Mother, I asked Xinlan to go to Ruyi Tower today to see what the literary society's gathering looks like on my behalf."
His words made Liu feel downcast. She glared at him and then scolded him, "Shut up! Why are you interrupting me when I'm talking to her?"
"Mother, what my son said is all true. What are you doing? Xinlan was just frightened today. If you don't feel sorry for her, she will..."
Before Tang Chongli could finish his next words, Lu Xinran pulled his sleeve.
"Mother, is there something important that you want me to come over for?"
"If it's not something important, can't I come and talk to you? Or do you not even need to report to me when you return home?"
Liu, who was a little angry because her son always protected outsiders, could no longer maintain her gentle and kind appearance. Her face was as cold as frost and she was not approachable at all.
Lu Xinlan said lightly, "I dare not," and stood aside without saying anything else.
Tang Chongli wanted to protect her, but she pulled his sleeve and shook her head to signal him not to say anything more.
The more they argued, the more upset Liu became.
This Lu Xinlan really has good means. How long after getting married has he completely subdued her son?
At this moment, she just felt that she disliked Lu Xinlan no matter how she looked at her, and completely forgot that she was attracted to her gentleness, generosity, and good dancing skills in the first place.
Moreover, she had tried every possible means to marry him, and it was not as if he was trying to marry someone of higher status.
"Chongli, go back and review your studies. Mother has something to tell Xinlan."
"You stay."
Lu Xinlan pulled Tang Chongli's sleeve and looked at Liu indifferently: "Mother has something to say, and so does daughter-in-law. She needs him to be present when she speaks."
"you!"
Being contradicted by her like this, Liu's face became more and more embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, as a mother, I really can't discipline you anymore!"
“How will my mother discipline me?”
Lu Xinlan sneered and said, "When I married into the Tang family, I didn't expect to be disciplined as soon as I entered the family."
Her words were like a slap in Liu's face, reminding her not to forget how she had repeatedly gone to the Lu Mansion to propose marriage.
Liu gritted her teeth, her face turning blue and red. She had never felt so embarrassed in the past twenty years.
"Why, are you trying to say you regret it?"
"Indeed, I do regret it. Since the Tang Mansion cannot accommodate me, I will ask to leave and divorce Tang Chongli.
"I will not mention the Tang Mansion to anyone after I leave, so you can put all the blame on me.
"In the future, we will each marry and have nothing to do with each other."
Her words were like a thunderclap, striking Liu on the head and making her smoke inside and out.
"You, you, you are so good, Lu Xinlan, I knew that you didn't want to give Chongli a child because you had some wrong thoughts!"
"It's because you kept provoking me that I had this idea."
Lu Xinlan rolled her eyes at her with disgust. "I told you as soon as I entered the room that I was frightened by an accident in Ruyi Tower today. Since you are unwilling to care about me a little more and blame everything on me, I am afraid that there will be no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship between you and me. It is better for us to break up earlier. You can find a daughter-in-law who is suitable and considerate in the future, and I can be free sooner."
She was too lazy to serve such a mother-in-law.
In the past, she thought that since this time and space treated women so harshly, she didn't want to fight everywhere, so she might as well let nature take its course.
But she has already been married, and now she is divorced. Whether she returns to the Lu Mansion or lives alone with her dowry, her life will always be much more comfortable than in the Tang Mansion.
Tang Chongli was stunned, and even Liu just raised her finger and pointed at Lu Xinlan for a long time without saying a word.
At this moment, Lu Xinlan's mind was on the Yun family and Lu Xinran. He was too lazy to bother with Liu any more, so he left after saying these words.
As the door opened and closed, Liu finally came back to her senses from her shock.
An indescribable anger rushed to her head, and she raised her hand and slapped the back of the chair hard.
"She's really the opposite of that!"
What does she think of this marriage, a joke?
If you want to get married, then get married. If you want to get divorced, then get divorced!
"Chongli, this girl from the Lu family must be severely punished. You must not protect her everywhere anymore."
"Mother," Tang Chongli, who was called back to his senses by her, was a little lost, "Can't you bear to see your son live a good life? Must you mess up your son's bedroom affairs before you are satisfied?
"It took two years after you married your father for you to have a son. Why didn't your father and grandmother complain? Xinlan just wanted to have the baby later, but you are so persistent?
"She has been humble and submissive these days. No matter how you make trouble for her or offend her in a sarcastic way, she has never said a word about you in front of her son.
"She almost lost her life in Ruyi Tower today, and I, her son, almost became a widower. Don't you really understand what this means?
"How could you say such a thing? Are you still the gentle and kind mother in your son's heart?"
Why did she become so strange after he got married?
There were tears in Tang Chongli's eyes, and every word he spoke was a question.
Liu's body went limp and she held onto the back of the chair with both hands to prevent herself from sliding down.
"Is that how you look at me? Do you know who I do this for?"
"Mother, I only know that if you really want my best, you should treat Xinlan as your closest person, love her and protect her, instead of just treating her like a puppet and controlling her like you are doing now."
Thinking of what Lu Xinlan had just said, he felt so heartbroken that he wanted to cry.
She, how could she not want him!
