Tu Lihuan nodded.

"I'm going to change my clothes first."

The eldest maid smiled and said: "Okay!"

After a while, Tu Lihuan changed his clothes and came out.

He looked like a handsome and sunny young man with a graceful demeanor, as if he was not the same person as the cruel young man who slapped someone just now.

On the way to the main courtyard, Tu Lihuan asked the maid about today's banquet.

The eldest maid didn't hide anything, she told angrily about how Qing Luo kept his wife from getting off the stage today.

This made Tu Lihuan's eyes, which were originally smiling, become a bit gloomy again.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Shi Qingluo actually dared to bully my mother. How arrogant."

If he dares to bully his mother based on his status, then he will naturally help her take revenge.

Entering the main hall, the gloomy look on Tu Lihuan's face had disappeared.

"Mom, do you have something to do with me?"

Mrs. Tu gave him an angry look, "Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"

Tu Lihuan smiled and walked over to sit down, "Of course I can."

Then he said a lot of words, making Mrs. Butcher, who was originally in a bad mood, smile.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Tu got down to business.

She asked: "Your father said before that he wanted you to marry the Xiao family, you know that, right?"

Tu Lihuan nodded, "I know, my father said he wanted to leave a way out for our family."

Mrs. Butcher asked again: "Then what do you think?"

Tu Lihuan said without hesitation: "I am very clear about my father's considerations, so I have no objection."

"Before, I didn't care about marrying Xiao Baili. Even if I married, it was for the sake of the family."

Then he changed the topic and said with a bit of coldness: "But now I really want to marry her."

Mrs. Tu was stunned. At first she thought her son was attracted to Xiao Baili after seeing her before, and she felt a little unhappy.

But there was a bit of a sneer on his face, and it didn't look like he was in love and wanted to marry her.

So I couldn’t help but ask: “Why is this?”

Tu Lihuan didn't hide anything, "On the way here just now, I heard that Shi Qingluo was very disrespectful to my mother today, and even ridiculed her for making inferior apricot flower wine."

"It's just too much of a lie."

"I can't swallow this breath for my mother."

"I heard that Shi Qingluo was very kind to his sister-in-law Xiao Baili, and the two of them had a very good relationship."

"That's why I want to marry Xiao Baili. We, mother and son, can do whatever we want. We don't need to pay attention to her. I deliberately ignore her and make her feel inferior and sad. She sheds tears every day alone in the yard."

"You don't need to punish her in public. You don't need to give her a good look every day. Just use filial piety and let her serve you as your mother-in-law, which will make her feel tortured."

"No one can afford to say this."

He knew that his mother would always be very superficial. If Xiao Baili married in, it would not make Xiao Baili's life easier, but she would not let outsiders know.

On the contrary, it will make outsiders think that her mother-in-law treats her daughter-in-law very well.

He added: "If she is not doing well, Shi Qingluo will naturally be concerned and feel uncomfortable.":

"In order for her sister-in-law to have a good life, she will have to be humble and submissive to you."

"You will be able to make up for the anger you suffered today."

For him, his mother is the most important, and no one can bully her.

What he is best at is playing with people's hearts. If he wants to take revenge on Shi Qingluo, he can definitely start with her sister-in-law.

Just enough to satisfy his father.

When Mrs. Tu heard her youngest son's words, she didn't think there was anything wrong, but instead felt warm in her heart.

She reached out and shook Tu Lihuan's hand, "You are still considerate."

She also narrowed her eyes and said: "I originally looked down upon Xiao Baili's identity. Even if her mother climbed up to King Yi, it would not change her background as a peasant girl, and she would be embarrassed in court.

Mother."

"If your father hadn't made up his mind to want you to marry Xiao Baili, I don't think she is worthy of being your concubine."

"It's just that your father had a plan. I was originally opposed to it and wanted the second loser to marry Xiao Baili."

She was talking about the bastard who was deliberately raised by her to be timid and cowardly.

"But your father also told me that marrying Xiao Baili was to leave a way out for the Tu family, and he could only marry his legitimate son."

"Plus what you just said is right."

She snorted coldly: "When Xiao Baili comes to marry into our family, it will be at the discretion of our mother and son."

"With her here, look how arrogant and domineering Shi Qingluo was in front of me at that time."

She whispered: "If King Jin can achieve great things, our Tu family will also have the merit of following the dragon. In the future, if Xiao Baili dies of illness, you can remarry a legitimate daughter from a well-matched family in the capital and come back as your stepwife."

"Your father meant the same thing."

If King Jin loses, and if the Tu family follows suit, the younger son should be able to save his life because he married Xiao Baili, leaving a bloodline for the Tu family.

This time she posted a post to invite Xiao Baili together because she also wanted to see each other today.

She looks pretty good, and her etiquette is no worse than the ladies here in Beicheng.

It's just that because of Shi Qingluo's relationship, she couldn't like him no matter what.

If she were to marry into the family, she would not accept it.

But the Tu family's bet on King Jin was indeed risky, so they had to use Xiao Baili to leave a way out for the family.

I can only feel wronged to my younger son.

So her plan at the beginning of today was just to quietly guide Shi Qingluo to make him look embarrassed, and then pretend to help him out.

In the end, Shi Qing was embarrassed, but he still had to remember her favor, so that the marriage could be settled naturally.

She can also explain to Ruan Songling, killing two birds with one stone.

But no matter how hard he calculated, he never expected that Shi Qingluo was not the kind of village woman with little knowledge as imagined. Instead, she used Mrs. Zhu to kill chickens and scare monkeys to establish her authority as soon as she came.

He even saw her intention and hit her in the face one after another, making it impossible for her to get off the stage.

Because of this, all her plans were ruined.

Tu Lihuan didn't think there was anything wrong with what his mother said.

If King Jin takes that position, their family can become a first-class family in the entire Liang Dynasty.

King Yi will be a prisoner by then, and Xiao Baili will have no use value. It is the best choice to die of illness and remarry a useful woman from aristocratic family.

He smiled and said filially: "I listen to my mother."

The smile in Mrs. Butcher's eyes became even stronger. What she was most proud of was that she had given birth to two good sons.

Then she looked a little unhappy, "It's just that Shi Qingluo and I didn't get along very well today. Although we didn't break up, we had a bad impression of each other."

"In this case, will the Xiao family still marry Xiao Baili to you?"

Tu Lihuan was not worried, "I will impress Xiao Baili with my sincerity."

He raised his lips confidently and said, "As long as Xiao Baili insists on marrying me, I believe Shi Qingluo can't do anything about it."

Mrs. Butcher was also very confident about her youngest son, "That's right."

She chuckled and nodded, "She's just a peasant girl. My son wants to marry her. It's her blessing. How can she refuse..."

She knew that her son had a very good reputation in Beicheng. Many ladies from aristocratic families wanted to marry him, and many of them secretly liked him.
