Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 420: Driven to Madness

Mrs. Xiao came over to complain.

Now whenever her son returned, he was exhausted, so she couldn’t say much, only briefly mentioned the reason for Li Hua’s confinement, and her son let her out.

Now being alone, she didn’t know how many bad things Li Hua had said about her behind her back, and she couldn’t let the other party have her way.

That’s why she hurried over to complain.

"Son, this daughter-in-law I really can’t bear. I asked her to cook a meal for me, and she wasn’t willing..."

Before she even entered the door, Mrs. Xiao’s voice could be heard.

Xiao Shiqing felt a deep sense of powerlessness, why did his mother keep using such disgraceful means over and over?

Wasn’t she ashamed?

Xiao Shiqing was full of concerns and could only think about it in his heart, unable to take action, but Li Hua couldn’t bear it anymore, "You say all sorts of bad things about people every day, but are you any better? The things that have happened in the mansion these days, do you really think I don’t know anything about them? They haven’t even married into the family yet, and you’re already causing trouble, not afraid of becoming a laughing stock, and now you’re distorting right and wrong, is this how an elder should act? Where are your manners and virtues?"

Mrs. Xiao was shocked, "You..."

Li Hua didn’t give the other party a chance to speak, she couldn’t hold back any longer, "What do you mean ’you’? I climbed to this position at a young age, do you really think I’m a useless fool that you can fool with a few words? Are you overestimating yourself or underestimating your son? Reality and illusion, I know the difference! I was just respecting you as an elder, giving you face, but you became more and more unruly. She’s just a County Princess, what right do you have to boss her around? Before, I ignored it, thinking you were just dissatisfied with this marriage and making a fuss for a few days, but you just wouldn’t stop. If you keep going like this, I’ll take some witnesses to the emperor and report you for harming the County Princess, let’s see how the emperor deals with you! Having a mother like you is truly my shame!"

Mrs. Xiao was scolded by her son, retreating repeatedly, clearly frightened.

Although this dynasty observes filial piety, the one with the greatest say in a family isn’t necessarily the oldest, but the one who can bring honor to the family.

Xiao Shiqing was such an existence, so he never really took Mrs. Xiao’s words seriously, doing as he pleased, and Mrs. Xiao knew it, so she always had no way to handle her son, otherwise she wouldn’t have done underhanded things behind the scenes this time, trying to ruin this marriage.

She knew her behavior couldn’t be brought to the light, so she hid it. Now being exposed so blatantly, it was like being stripped naked and thrown onto the street. Her son was embarrassing her in front of all these servants just to vent for a woman, Mrs. Xiao’s jealousy, envy and anger overwhelmed her reason.

"How dare you talk to your mother like that? After all I went through to bring you into this world, is this how you repay me? Abandoning your mother for a woman?!"

"That’s because you’re too vicious, constantly guarding against this and that, thinking everyone wants to marry me, looking down on everyone. Do you really think I’m some treasure? I’m telling you, I chose this County Princess, I begged her to come home with me, she didn’t even want to come at first, then she came and you starve her, a dignified Madam Xiao doing such disgraceful things. You even had the nanny prick her with needles, how could you be so vicious?"

Mrs. Xiao clutched her chest, almost suffocating from her son’s words, her body swaying, her face pale as if she might faint at any moment.

"I’m just saying a few words to you now and you look like you’re about to die. How do you think the County Princess endured your tormenting these days?"

"You...you..." Mrs. Xiao was so angry she couldn’t speak.

Li Hua finally exploded; if she didn’t vent all her grievances, she couldn’t stop, "What do you mean ’you’? You have the nerve to come to me and complain, aren’t you something! The County Princess was tormented by you like that, did she even say anything about you? You’re not even as good as a junior; what’s the point of living? If I were you, I’d have killed myself out of shame!"

Mrs. Xiao was broken down by her son’s scolding, "Oh my, I can’t live anymore, my son is actually cursing me to die, I can’t live anymore..."

"If you don’t want to live, then die. Once you’re gone, I’ll marry her and won’t have to endure all this!"

Initially, Xiao Shiqing was also taken aback by Li Hua’s sudden action; the man who wasn’t good at handling family issues finally remembered to step in and stop it.

"Li...what are you saying, why are you talking like this? It’s too presumptuous!"

Li Hua shook off Xiao Shiqing’s hand. Now that she was in a man’s body, shaking off a woman was a breeze, "Is your head broken too? When you were being tormented, you wrote me over a dozen letters, begging me to come save you. Now I’m venting for you and you’re not thanking me, but trying to stop me? Did a door squash your brain?"

Xiao Shiqing was shaken back a step, nearly falling.

Hearing her son’s words, Mrs. Xiao immediately caught onto the crux of the issue, instantly bursting into a mix of tears and snot, "So it’s this wench complaining behind my back, I knew you weren’t to be trusted. Oh my, this daughter-in-law hasn’t even entered the house and she’s already complaining and maligning her mother-in-law, I can’t go on living..."

Xiao Shiqing: "..."

Li Hua sneered, "Quit the pretense, seeing your face like this, I can barely hold back my urge to vomit!"

Mrs. Xiao: "Waaah..."

With one word from "Li Hua," Mrs. Xiao was like a lit firecracker, exploding with full force at her, but with one word from her son, she was terrified into silence.

A typical bully who fears the strong and bullies the weak, an opportunist’s face.

Li Hua had already decided to blow the matter up and leave it all behind.

This inspiration came from the argument earlier.

The bigger the scene now, the less likely Xiao Shiqing would want to entangle with her in the future.

Besides blowing up at Mrs. Xiao, she wasn’t letting another woman off the hook either.

Ji Nishang had been stunned by the scene in front of her, completely unable to find a chance to interject.

How did her cousin suddenly become so wild? Even confronting his own mother, was he possessed?

Before she could make sense of it, she saw her cousin’s gaze turn to her, her heart skipped a beat, and before she could react, he spoke.

"And you, this relative, why are you sticking around in someone else’s house and refusing to leave? Do you think if you stay long enough, you can just stay in the Xiao Family forever, maybe even become the Princely Heir’s wife? I’m telling you, stop dreaming, a woman like you, I don’t fancy! The thing you did in the woodshed the other day, don’t think nobody knows. I never would’ve guessed, you look decent but act disgracefully behind the scenes, but are the meals in your family thrown on the ground for people to eat? How about from now on, we throw all the meals in the Xiao Mansion on the ground for you to eat?"

Ji Nishang’s face flushed bright red.

Anyone being told off by a man like that in person would find it unbearable.

Li Hua was in a wild frenzy, since men couldn’t be relied on, she’d do it herself!
