Chapter 152: Women’s Love for the Country (5)
"Miss...Miss Cousin, no, General Liu...General Liu, please spare...spare me, I was just following your orders, I didn't mean to offend you."
At this time, the maid in green finally became afraid. She didn't care about the wound on her face, and she lay on the ground trembling and begged for mercy.
This sword made her mind clear instantly. Everyone was only busy laughing at Liu Shu for being abandoned by His Majesty, but they forgot that she was a female general who had been on the battlefield. She might have killed more people than anyone they had ever seen in their lives. Where on earth did she get the courage to show off in front of her.
Even if her daughter was the future queen, she was just a little maid. Liu Shu could kill her with just a word.
Looking at the group of maids who were so scared that they collapsed on the ground and knelt down to beg for mercy, Qingli felt very relieved.
"Oh, that's all the courage I have."
Don't you see who her daughter is? Her daughter is not like these delicate and weak women who only know how to talk too much. You dare to be rude in front of her daughter and look down on her young lady. You are simply courting death.
"I have received your young lady's gift. It is impolite not to reciprocate. I will also give your young lady a gift to save you the trouble. You can take it back!"
Liu Shu took a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood off the blade, speaking slowly.
A group of maids came in arrogantly, and finally rolled out of the Liu Mansion in fear.
In the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Pei Xuan looked at the white cloth in the maid's hand, his face pale.
"Liu Shu!"
With a bang, a teacup hit the ground and shattered. The splashed porcelain fragments brushed the back of the hand of the maid who was kneeling on the ground, leaving a trail of blood.
The maid gritted her teeth silently, enduring the pain, not daring to say a word.
"What else did she say?" Pei Xuan closed his eyes and asked, suppressing his anger.
"No... No, Miss Liu said that you should keep this cloth. Maybe you will need it sooner or later." The maidservant stammered as she relayed Liu Shu's words.
"Bitch, I am the queen. What qualifications does she have to act so arrogant in front of me?" Pei Xuan really couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and walked out.
As soon as Mrs. Pei entered the room, she saw Pei Xuan walking out with an angry look on his face, and her brows immediately frowned.
"A Xuan!"
"Mom!" Pei Xuan stopped and shouted with some grievance.
Madam Pei glanced around the room and paused on the white cloth among the maids.
"All go out."
"Yes!" The maid breathed a sigh of relief and quickly carried the things out of the room.
The door was gently closed, and only mother and daughter were left in the room.
Madam Pei sighed and pulled Pei Xuan, who had an angry look on his face, to sit on the chaise longue.
"Mom, she is cursing me and our Pei family." Pei Xuan's tone was full of anger.
What kind of clothes can white cloth be made into? Mourning clothes? Pei Xuan just thought that Liu Shu was cursing that there would be a great mourning in their Duke's Mansion so that she would not be able to get married.
"Didn't you send her gifts first to humiliate her?" Mrs. Pei said lightly.
She just found out what Pei Xuan had done. If she had known earlier, she would have stopped her.
"Humiliation? How can it be humiliating? Isn't this the truth? Grandfather said that His Majesty wants to make her his concubine. I am the queen and she is a concubine. Shouldn't a concubine wear pink? I am telling her to face reality and stop wishful thinking."
Pei Xuan didn't care. Even if she was humiliating Liu Shu, so what? She would kneel at her feet in the future anyway, so she might as well let her feel it in advance.
"Ah Xuan, you are always calm and steady, why are you so impatient now?"
Seeing Pei Xuan like this, Madam Pei's tone became a little stern.
“Although His Majesty made you the queen, everyone knows why. His Majesty married you because he needed the support of our Duke’s Mansion.
After all, Liu Shu and Your Majesty have been friends for three years at the border. Everyone knows how much Your Majesty loves Liu Shu. When Liu Shu enters the palace, a noble concubine is indispensable. Why do you have to humiliate her at this time? If you displease Your Majesty, no matter what, you and Liu Shu are cousins. No matter what you think in your heart, it is right to befriend her on the surface, and it can also let Your Majesty see your magnanimity. Ah Xuan, why do you have to be enemies with her? "
Madam Pei couldn't understand why Pei Xuan had to target Liu Shu.
Pei Xuan lowered his eyelids, bit his lips lightly, and remained silent with a stubborn look on his face.
Friendship? Is there friendship between Liu Shu and His Majesty? Is there no friendship between her and His Majesty? Why should she try to win over Liu Shu? Pei Xuan thought with disdain in his heart.
She automatically ignored Madam Pei's words that His Majesty married her because he needed the support of the Duke's Mansion.
She arrogantly thought that His Majesty must have been unable to forget his old love for her if he married her as his queen.
So what if Liu Shu has been with His Majesty for three years? His Majesty married her as the queen and made Liu Shu the imperial concubine, which means that she is the most important person in His Majesty's heart.
Pei Xuan had never told anyone about his past with Murong Cheng, and Madam Pei was unaware of it. Seeing that Pei Xuan was so stubborn and refused to listen to Liu Shu's advice, she was helpless.
Between her niece and her own daughter, she naturally stands on the side of her daughter.
Pei Xuan delivered something to Liu Mansion, but was beaten out by Liu Shu. This matter has spread.
There are people who don't like Pei Xuan. They think Pei Xuan is too petty. She wants to act like a queen before she even becomes one. She deserves to be slapped in the face.
Some people also think that Liu Shu is too impulsive. Knowing that Pei Xuan is about to become the queen, she still dares to offend her like this. I'm afraid she will have a hard time in the future.
No matter what, after this incident, the relationship between the Duke's Mansion and the Liu Mansion could no longer pretend to remain peaceful.
When the Duke of Zhenguo found out, he was extremely dissatisfied with Pei Xuan's behavior and ordered Pei Xuan to learn the rules from the maid in the palace and restrict her actions.
Madam Pei felt sorry for her daughter, so she brought a bunch of things to the Liu Mansion, hoping to ease the relationship with Liu Shu on the surface and avoid being laughed at.
No matter what is going on inside, one must appear to be doing just fine on the surface.
She came to Liu's house with great fanfare, but was stopped at the door.
Madam Pei looked at the unfamiliar servant who was blocking her from entering the house, and her expression was extremely grim.
"What? You won't let me in. Do you know who I am? Where is Butler Wang? I need to ask him to come out. How can I ask such a blind man to guard the door?"
"No matter who the lady is, she doesn't have a post, and I haven't received the general's order, so I'm sorry I can't let you in."
No matter what Madam Pei said, the guard at the door remained unmoved and stood firmly at the door.
They were the people Liu Shu brought back from the border. They were extremely loyal to Liu Shu and only listened to Liu Shu's words.
They don't care whether they offend anyone or not, they just do whatever the general says.
Madam Pei laughed angrily, "Why, Liu Shu doesn't even recognize me as her aunt? My last name is Liu, and the Liu Mansion is my mother's home. Can't I even go back to my mother's home? Does Liu Shu want to disown all her relatives?"
