"Still depressed!? She- she's depressed!! ”

The glass fell to the ground with a crisp clatter.

In the old study of the Qu family, Qu Xiu looked at the two mothers-in-law kneeling on the ground angrily.

"The second master is angry...... That's what she said. ”

"Yes, yes, I also heard it, at that time she told the emperor that Niangniang was suffering from 'depression'!"

The eyes of the two mothers-in-law turned to the old lady Qu who was sitting on the throne, "We are telling the truth, and there is no lie!" ”

The old lady Qu looked out indifferently, and the two mothers-in-law didn't know for a while whether the old lady listened to what she just said.

But looking at the scene in front of them, they had to bow their heads and wait.

Qu Xiu kicked down the chair next to him, "She stays in the palace every day, and what she eats and wears is not the best!" Every day, ten fingers don't touch the spring water, everywhere is a bunch of people following, brocade clothes and jade food are waiting, she is still depressed! It's all depressing, those who ask for food on the street, those who farm in the fields don't want to live, they all go to find a place to crash to death! If I'm going to be so hypocritical like her, I'd have died 800 times over the years! ”

Qu Xiu scolded.

The old lady did not answer, but sat there indifferently, looking beyond everyone in the room and looking out.

The two mothers-in-law didn't dare to speak out.

"Mother! Say something!! If Moon Shadow continues like this, sooner or later our whole family will be dragged into the fire pit! ”

The tail note of Qu Xiu echoed on the roof beams.

But Old Madam Qu didn't seem to hear her son's roar at all, her face was calm, she held her cane firmly in both hands, and her eyes stared at the potted plants in the yard, without the slightest reaction.

Qu Xiu, who was ignored, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the study.

Suddenly, Old Madam Qu's eyes lit up—

I saw a middle-aged servant hurriedly carrying the hem of his clothes and trotting all the way.

"Old lady!" He ran to the door of the study, and fell to his knees as soon as he entered.

"The master has found it?" Old Madam Qu's voice was calm.

"Found it, found it!" The servant didn't look up, his voice was a little flustered, "The master went to the pear orchard secretly early in the morning......

Pear orchard.

The hearts of the two mothers-in-law sank, when is this, Master Qu is still in the mood to take care of those pear orchard plays!

Several people subconsciously looked at Old Madam Qu's face for a while.

Old Madam Qu's expression did not change, and she asked again, "Then the old man said when he will come back?" ”

"Old lady......" replied the servant tremblingly, "the old lady said...... Say ......"

"What are you talking about!" Old Madam Qu's voice suddenly turned high, shaking everyone's hearts.

"The master said that there are two Tsing Yi in the pear orchard for the first time today...... He—he can't leave......"

Old Madam Qu took a slow breath and breathed a sigh of relief.

Qu Xiu wanted to cry without tears, "Dad, what's the matter...... Daddy how to ...... How can this be—"

Old Madam Qu completely ignored Qu Xiu's grief on the side, and then asked, "Did the news get out?" ”

The servant didn't understand for a moment, "What is going out?" ”

Old Madam Qu's voice was flat, "Did the news that the old man secretly went to the pear orchard in the morning spread?" ”

The servant's face turned pale, his throat moved, and his face stopped talking.

"Whatever you ask, you'll answer!" Qu Xiu said sharply, "Has the news been known by outsiders!" ”

"Back to ...... Old lady, the old man went out in the morning in the dark, and he didn't take the carriage in the house...... It should be, it should be ......"

"Got it, let's go down." Old Madam Qu waved her hand lightly, and the servant bowed and hurriedly walked out.

The room was quiet, and Old Madam Qu pondered deeply and slowly closed her eyes.

Qu Xiu didn't settle down, he thought for a moment, and suddenly was shocked, "Mother...... It's so brocade outside, in case someone-"

"You get down on your knees." Old Madam Qu suddenly scolded.

Qu Xiu was stunned.

Yesterday in the palace, he was reprimanded by Emperor Jianxi like that, and the fear in his heart has not disappeared yet.

Now, he had just been released from his ancestral hall by Mrs. Qu, and the resentment that he had been thinking about for a night made him so aggrieved that he couldn't speak.

Qu Xiu stood there, his eyes turning red for a while.

"Get you on your knees!" Old Madam Qu scolded again.

Qu Xiu's jaw trembled, but he still gritted his teeth, looked away, and knelt down.

Old Madam Qu: "You don't know where you are wrong, do you?" You repeat what the emperor asked you yesterday in front of me! ”

"Mother!" Qu Xiu only felt the blood surging in his chest, and he wiped his tears with one hand, "What my son has done, which one of them is not for the future of the Qu family!" The emperor wants to kill or chop, and his son bears it alone! Anyway, the eldest brother is still on the front line, and you don't lack a son to give you a pension! ”

Old Madam Qu slapped her palm on the table, shaking the white paper on the table.

"Do you really think that the emperor will not dare to kill and chop you?" Old Madam Qu's eyes narrowed slightly, "I have survived all these years of ups and downs, and now even if they are all buried in your hands, I am worthy of the ancestors of the Qu family......"

"I'm in a hurry, too!" Qu Xiu exclaimed, "After all, it is Moon Shadow's bone and blood, and it has been raised with Concubine Ning, in case of the future-"

"Stupid! Stupid! Old Madam Qu raised her hand and directly smashed the wooden staff in her hand, and Qu Xiu's forehead wiped blood.

Qu Xiu didn't dodge, just cried, "Yes, I know I'm stupid, I'm not as good as my eldest brother, so my eldest brother has become a general, and my son is still a five-grade Guanglu Temple Shaoqing...... You don't like me all the time, I know! But you don't want to think about who has been with you all these years, who has served you and honored you? It's my son! ”

Old Madam Qu was so angry that her teeth trembled, "Don't pull your eldest brother, your eldest brother won't run into the palace without consulting me!" ”

"Old lady, second master...... You both put out the fire. The mother-in-law, who had been kneeling on the ground, finally interjected at this time, "It's all a family, and it is inevitable that there will be friction, but there is no need to move so much." ”

Old Madam Qu took a breath, took a sip of the tea on the table, and her face softened slightly.

"Why are you two leaving the palace at this time?" Old Madam Qu looked at the two mothers-in-law, "What has happened in the palace?" ”

"Old lady, we really can't help it." The two mothers-in-law were a little concerned, "If I don't come out to see you again, I'm afraid that our lives will be broken inside......"

Old Madam Qu frowned, "Who is looking for your trouble?" ”

"It's the new herb—"

"She's bothering you? What trouble could she be looking for? Qu Xiu's eyes dug over fiercely, "She is just the opposite of the sky, and she is just a medicine of the Chengqian Palace!" I am surprised that you don't have river water in the well water, why are you so afraid of her! Didn't you also receive any benefits from her! ”

A mother-in-law immediately said, "Heaven and earth conscience! Second master, your words are also hurtful......"

The other mother-in-law looked at Mrs. Qu, "Old lady, this medicine is really amazing...... She, she's the Queen Mother! ”

Old Madam Qu's face turned pale.

Dowager......!?

How could she have something to do with the Queen Mother!

"What nonsense!" Qu Xiu was so angry that he laughed out loud for a while, "She is also the queen mother's person...... Why don't you say that she is a god who came down to earth? ”
