Chapter 198
Xia Zhu saw Xu's mother's expression change, as if she realized that she had said something wrong.
Xia Zhu knelt on the ground and said to Xu's mother: "Xia Zhu greets stepmother."
Xu's mother was very happy. She didn't expect that Xia Zhu would actually agree to become her adopted daughter. This was a pleasant surprise!
She will have a daughter in the future.
She was devastated at this point and no longer thought about divorce or remarrying.
But when Xu's mother saw the dust on Xia Zhu's forehead, she immediately felt distressed: "Child, get up quickly! Look at you, why are you so stupid? Why do you have to do such a big ceremony?"
Xia Zhu stood up straight and replied: "It is a great blessing for Xia Zhu to be favored by her adoptive mother! So Xia Zhu must pay her respects!"
"Good boy."
Mother Xu patted the back of Xia Zhu's hand, then pulled her up and said, "Since you have acknowledged me as your stepmother, I should give you a big gift now."
Xia Zhu was a little surprised when she heard what Xu's mother said. She didn't know what kind of gift Xu's mother would give her.
Mother Xu took out the three thousand silver notes hidden in her arms.
She gave it all to Xia Zhu and said to her, “In my entire life, no one has ever been so kind to me.
This is the banknotes I saved up, I haven't given them to anyone.
Now I give it all to you.
I’ll give it to you as a dowry so you can marry into a good family in the future.
Even though Qiuyue doesn't recognize me, she is still my daughter and has my blood in her veins. We can barely be considered a family of officials.
Girls will eventually get married. When the time comes, I will plead with the late Crown Princess for you and help you find a good family.
You must not marry someone too bad, or you will suffer all your life.
You can't marry too well, otherwise you will have three wives and four concubines and will never be happy in your life.
Let's just marry into an ordinary, good family."
Xia Zhu felt a little touched.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.
How could she not be touched when Xu's mother was so thoughtful and considerate of her?
"In fact, I know that Qiuyue hates me. I am not good to her. Chunhua doesn't want to recognize me either. But I raised Chunhua with my hands in my hands!"
Mother Xu spoke to Xia Zhu in a nagging tone.
Xia Zhu grasped the most important information.
That is, Xu Chunhua is still alive.
Xu's mother knows Xu Chunhua's information.
But Xu's mother did not reveal Xu Chunhua's identity.
Sometimes people's despair only lasts for a moment.
Mother Xu followed Xia Zhu all the way back to the Prince's Villa.
Both Xu's father and Li Wenting became servants in the villa, and they had endless work to do every day.
It is very easy for Xu Chunhua to deal with someone. She has hundreds of ways to do it. All she needs is a hint and many people will help her do it.
Xu Chunhua already resented Xu's father, and it was just a matter of one word.
Someone helped to bully Xu's father in various ways.
Xu Chunhua always felt that Xu's father was not her real father and he was not nice to her when she was a child.
There's nothing wrong with making him a slave.
As for Li Wenting, she was doing it to vent Xu's mother's anger.
So she forced Xu's father into slavery.
Father Xu was reluctant at first, as he knew how miserable it would be to become a slave.
But since he was a slave, his son didn't have to be a slave, so he agreed.
Father Xu had always wanted a son in his life, and now he finally had one.
He naturally regarded it as more important than his own life. When Father Xu saw Mother Xu, he was stunned.
There was another reason why Xu's father married Xu's mother, that was because Xu's mother was beautiful. He did not expect that Xu's mother would become so graceful and elegant.
He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and seemed to have become a lot younger.
She looks even prettier than Li Wenting.
Father Xu was stunned.
Originally, he hated Xu's mother very much in his heart. He hated her for filing a complaint and ruining his family.
He thought he was not bad to Xu's mother. Even when Xu's mother went crazy, he still took care of her and gave her food.
But Xu's mother said that he deliberately drove her crazy.
This is a false accusation.
A blatant accusation.
Mother Xu also saw Father Xu’s gray hair.
She could see that Father Xu had suffered a lot recently.
Xia Zhu didn't know that what Xu's mother said was false. She thought Xu's mother was really driven crazy by Xu's father's abuse, so she said to Xu's mother: "Godmother, don't worry, even if you come here, you are the manager here, which is different from his status.
He is a servant in this village, and he does whatever you tell him to do every day."
Mother Xu hated Father Xu in her heart, but now seeing how pitiful Father Xu looked, she didn't want to punish him anymore.
Li Wenting knelt in front of Xu's mother at this time. She realized that the people in the Prince's Mansion listened to Xu's mother. As long as Xu's mother let her go, nothing would happen.
"Madam, I know I was wrong. Please let my child go! I will never fight with you again. My child is still so young and is about to get married. Please recognize her in your name and help her find a good family."
Li Wenting knelt on the ground and begged to Xu's mother.
Mother Xu looked at Li Wenting, whose eyes were full of wrinkles, and then looked at her humble appearance.
Sometimes Xu's mother's temperament is actually similar to Xu's father's. When she is vicious, she is very vicious, but sometimes she can be soft-hearted.
In fact, Li Wenting didn't torture her much.
Mother Xu asked Xia Zhu in a panic, "What happened to them? How did they become like this?"
"The Crown Princess said that they were too vicious and only worthy of being slaves, so your husband and she became slaves of the Crown Prince's Mansion."
"How can this be done? We are of good birthright. If my husband becomes a slave, I will also be a slave. I just adopted you as my daughter. If you become a slave, how can you marry? This is not okay. This birthright must be changed. My son-in-law is the Minister of the Supreme Court, and my daughter is a lady of honor. I cannot be a slave, and neither can her father. I must go and talk to the Crown Princess."
Mother Xu said to Xia Zhu firmly.
Although Xu's mother was a peasant woman, she also knew the importance of hometown.
She couldn't be a slave.
And she couldn't bear to see Xu's father become a slave.
She just wanted to divorce Xu's father, abandon him, and marry someone else.
I didn't intend to harm Xu's father.
When Xu's mother wrongly accused Xu's father, she just wanted to say something bad about Xu's father and make herself sound more miserable.
She wanted Xu Chunhua to sympathize with her.
She used to talk like this.
But she never thought there would be such serious consequences.
She hated Li Wenting and called her a bitch every day.
But Li Wenting actually still took Xu Qiuyue's status into consideration and did not dare to step on her too much.
So Xu's mother hated Li Wenting, but not that much. Li Wenting's daughter was also pitiful and was now going to be discussed for marriage.
"Godmother, I'm afraid the Crown Princess won't see you. She just sent someone to kick you out."
Xia Zhu persuaded Xu's mother.
"That won't work. This matter must be resolved. If she helps me, I will go tell Lu Yuan."
