Chapter 15 Mother, you will have to rely on yourself in the future
"Yes, report it to the police. You must report it to the police. Qiuyue, mother and Chunhua are relying on you."
Mother Xu held Xu Qiuyue's hand tightly.
"Mother, you will have to rely on yourself in the future. This huge betrothal gift is my way of repaying you and father for raising me.
Chunhua will have to rely on her husband from now on.
The only person a woman can rely on is her husband."
Xu Qiuyue gently pulled Xu's mother's hand away from her body.
Mother Xu looked at Xu Qiuyue in shock.
She didn't expect Xu Qiuyue to be so heartless.
"Qiuyue, you were able to marry so well because of the agreement between the Xu family's grandfather and the Lu family. How could you be so heartless!"
"When my mother was preparing my dowry, did she ever think about what her daughter would go through?"
Xu Qiuyue asked back to Xu's mother.
"you·······"
How could Xu's mother feel any guilt? She just felt that everything Xu Qiuyue had was given by the Xu family, and whatever Xu Qiuyue owed the Xu family now would never be enough.
"Mother, don't you think about yourself, but also think about Chunhua, if you push me too far.
Don't blame me for what I will do then. I am willing to give you and Xu Chunhua some advice once or twice, which is already out of consideration for our family relationship.
The Lu family already knew how shameless the Xu family was; they could tell from the dowry.
You'd better keep your voice down, the maids and servants are listening!
They might think that you are greedy and are asking me for money again, and they will just feel sorry for me for having such parents.
If that’s the case, tell me, what will the Lu family do to you?
I’m afraid the gate here won’t let you in from now on!
Do you think I will still support Chunhua at that time?"
Xu Qiuyue doesn't like the Xu family.
She had suffered enough losses in her previous life.
Compared to the Xu family, she hated Xuan Jiuqing more.
Although Xuan Jiuqing seemed to have done nothing useful, he actually did everything and only revealed a little bit of his thoughts.
There are plenty of people who do what he wants.
For example, Mr. Xu.
Father Xu wanted to become an official.
I also hope that men from the Xu family can become officials.
He is willing to give everything for power.
In this life, Xu Qiuyue would certainly prefer that the Xu family and Xuan Jiuqing continue to be locked together and torture each other.
However, Xu Chunhua's mind is a little simple. If she doesn't give Xuan Jiuqing a fulcrum, she will probably not be a match for him at all.
In this life, Xu Qiuyue wants Xuan Jiuqing to be forever separated from the supreme throne.
A prince may seem to be of noble status, but in fact he is not as good as a minor official with real power.
After all, the relationship between the current princes is not very good.
Although His Majesty has appointed a crown prince, he also entrusts important tasks to other princes.
On the surface, he hoped that the family would be harmonious and that the brothers would love each other, but in reality, he secretly hoped that the princes would fight each other.
He used the other princes as whetstones to sharpen the crown prince.
What if the prince can't hold on and is not good enough.
He would choose a new crown prince from among these princes.
This made the prince feel very insecure.
It is naturally impossible to be friendly to other brothers.
Suppose the prince ascends the throne.
Xuan Jiuqing's life is definitely not going to be easy.
In fact, since His Majesty has appointed a crown prince, he naturally values him a little.
Although it is only a little, the prince is much more important than other princes.
If you are not much better than the crown prince, it will be difficult to replace the crown prince.
While Xu Qiuyue was thinking, her mother left angrily. When she returned home, she found that Xu Chunhua had packed her bags and left.
Xu Chunhua really went to Beijing.
Xu's mother thought that if she had known earlier, she would have gone with Xu Chunhua.
The journey was long and she was worried that something might happen to Xu Chunhua.
Now I can only go back and discuss it with Xu's father.
"The child's father, Chunhua went to the capital alone to find her husband. I went to find Qiuyue. Qiuyue's heart was more vicious than snakes and scorpions. She actually warned me not to look for her. Otherwise, she would tell the Lu family that I went to look for her for money..."
"Snapped!"
Mother Xu hadn't finished her words yet.
Father Xu slapped Mother Xu hard in the face.
"I've said it before, Qiuyue is a cold-hearted girl, has she been like this since the first day?
She has always been unkind to me, but you didn't listen and even spoke for her.
Now you have swallowed up all her betrothal gifts, and you are so greedy. I asked you to return the money to her, but you refused and insisted on taking Xu Chunhua to buy a house in town. Now you are fine, right?
How come you are so confused?
I also went to find her for Xu Chunhua.
She must be angrier.
Why did I marry a woman like you who is not smart at all?
Now Qiuyue has become successful, but Chunhua married a refugee, so what future can she have?
You don't know which of our two daughters we can rely on!"
"But Qiuyue is a cruel, cold-blooded girl. She is unreliable!"
Xu's mother defended herself aggrievedly.
"Of my two daughters, only Qiuyue inherited my brain. She is heartless, but she has a normal mind.
If a woman wants to be treated well in her husband's family, isn't her own family the one she can rely on?
Her family has become successful and pays enough attention to her.
Her husband's family certainly wouldn't dare to bully her. You can ask her to help her cousins from her natal family. These people will definitely help her in the future.
How could she not be willing?
You! You are as stupid as a pig. If you ask her to help Chunhua, what good will she get?
That dowry is so shabby that even if I were poor, I would not be able to give such a dowry.
Xu Qiuyue inherited your bad heart."
The more Mr. Xu thought about it, the angrier he became.
At this time, Xu's mother did not dare to talk back to Xu's father.
But Xu's mother felt aggrieved!
Half of Xu Qiuyue's betrothal gift was spent by Xu's father.
How can she be blamed for this?
But she didn't dare to say it.
Because she knew that if she told him, Xu's father would definitely beat her.
In the past, Xu Qiuyue was able to help her at home, but now Xu Qiuyue is not here.
If you get beaten, you can only endure it.
Xu's mother couldn't understand it.
It's just such a small betrothal gift, why should Xu Qiuyue care about it?
She raised Xu Qiuyue to this age, but Xu Qiuyue was not grateful at all.
And still treat her like this.
If I had known this earlier, I would have strangled her to death.
In this case, Xu Chunhua might have no choice but to marry Lu Yuan.
Think of this.
Xu's mother hated Xu Qiuyue even more, thinking that she had taken away Xu Chunhua's fortune.
If there was no Xu Qiuyue, Xu Chunhua's life would have been so much better.
"You! You are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. Now you have offended Qiuyue. What should I do now? Qiuyue doesn't want to see me now. It's probably useless to ask her to help anyone. If you don't offend Qiuyue, you can help me pass on my message to Qiuyue. Qiuyue will definitely listen."
Father Xu accused Mother Xu in her ear.
