How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 491: I Didn’t Expect You to Be Stupid Too

Chapter 491: Chapter 491: I Didn’t Expect You to Be Stupid Too

"Uncle is intentionally trying to help you out, after all, if you do well, you’ll have more capital when you return to the place of exile."

"With the name of Liu’s, you’ll definitely earn more than you are now."

Old Madam Liu looked at Liu Yang, her eyes showing a hint of disdain.

The child of a concubine can never truly ascend to the stage.

The other members of the Liu Family appeared polite to Pei Shu’er and Liu Xu, but in their hearts, they were contemptuous.

They’re all exiles; since the Liu family has extended an olive branch, naturally, they accepted it, yet here they pretend to be high and mighty.

Pei Shu’er gently wiped her mouth, then said to Liu Xu, "Mother, let’s go. Everyone, enjoy your meal."

She was really afraid that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn’t be able to resist hitting this Liu Yang, and then her mother-in-law would be in a difficult position.

Liu Yang clicked his tongue twice, "Truly lacking in manners."

Old Madam Liu glared, "Sit down. Where are you going?"

The other younger generation understood Old Madam Liu’s intention.

They were just treating Liu Xu and Pei Shu’er as poor relatives, even the usual warmth towards people disappeared.

More and more people were looking at Pei Shu’er and Liu Xu with playful glances.

Liu Yang looked at Pei Shu’er and Liu Xu with a teasing glint in his eyes.

"What, you still think you’re at the Prince Zhan Mansion in the capital? As poor relatives, you have no sense of awareness. Didn’t you see what Mother said?"

Liu Xu gritted her teeth, and looked at Old Madam Liu with some disappointment.

She hadn’t told her mother before that Tang Zan had become a general, and their family was no longer exiles.

As expected, if she didn’t do well, she wouldn’t be respected anywhere.

Pei Shu’er, however, was indifferent, holding onto Liu Xu’s hand without letting go.

She just wanted to maintain Liu Xu’s last bit of dignity and didn’t want the relationship to become too strained.

"Let’s go, Mother."

Old Madam Liu’s face became even more unsightly.

"Pei Shu’er, Liu Xu, are you not listening to your elders?"

Pei Shu’er opened her mouth, looked at Liu Xu again.

Liu Xu bit her lower lip, about to speak up, when she saw Old Madam Liu pointing at Liu Yang.

Her fingers were trembling slightly from anger.

"Liu Yang, you are to leave, and from now on, you are not allowed to dine at the main table."

Liu Yang was stunned, thinking he had heard it wrong.

By the time he realized what was happening, the smile on his face had stiffened.

He had been at odds with Liu Xu since childhood, and now that the Prince Zhan family had fallen, he thought he could have his moment.

Besides, there was nothing wrong with what he said, it was for the benefit of the Liu family.

Why would he be treated like this by Old Madam Liu?

Liu Yang was taken aback and quickly argued, "Mother, I was thinking for the Liu family."

Old Madam Liu laughed angrily, "I thought you had bad conduct, turns out you have a bad brain too. You don’t have to go to the Liu’s branch store anymore, Liu Xun will go."

Liu Xun glanced at Liu Yang; indeed, this brother was foolish. How was this action benefiting the Liu family? It was simply making the Liu Family a target for gossip.

His greed was insatiable.

Pei Shu’er had just given them a prescription, and now he was saying such things.

Old Madam Liu looked at the still-standing Pei Shu’er and Liu Xu, her tone somewhat aggressive.

"Aren’t you going to sit down?"

Everyone remembered that Old Madam Liu had a fiery temper in her youth, it was just that she had cultivated herself over the years.

Then, Pei Shu’er received a solid lesson.

"Though your uncle is at fault, you need not angrily leave the table. Where’s your upbringing from your youth?"

Old Madam Liu snorted coldly again, "You should have hit him back right then and there. Then, you’d have your grandmother to back you up. I want to see who would still have those little schemes in their heart."

Pei Shu’er couldn’t help but laugh, "Grandmother, I have great strength, I’m afraid I’d cripple Uncle."

As soon as she said this, Old Madam Liu shook her head, amused, and the other younger members couldn’t help but laugh as well.

Even Liu Xu nodded earnestly.

"Mother, this is true; Liu Yang probably couldn’t take even one punch from Shu’er."

Others secretly sized up Pei Shu’er, and Old Madam Liu also looked at Pei Shu’er.

With those thin arms and legs, even giving birth to a child would be laborious, let alone hitting someone?

This daughter of hers doted on her daughter-in-law beyond measure.

Aside from this little episode, no matter what the Liu family had in mind, they dared not come forward to provoke again, and were all courteous.

As Pei Shu’er and Liu Xu left, they saw a carriage parked at the door of the Liu Family.

Pei Shu’er was stunned, then saw, stepping down from the carriage, a charmingly handsome gentleman, the kind of look women of any age would be drawn to.

This wasn’t the most important thing; what was more important was that the handsome gentleman’s gaze was filled with affection for Liu Xu.

"Xuxu."

Upon hearing this call, Pei Shu’er knew her father-in-law’s standing was in danger.

However, her father-in-law was quite a scoundrel, not really necessary to keep around, having abandoned his wife and children for an old flame.

If her mother-in-law was to embrace a second spring, she would welcome it.

Liu Xu’s eyes reddened upon hearing the call of "Xuxu."

Sometimes she wondered if she would have been better off marrying someone other than Tang Peizhong, like her cousin Zhao Yu.

She truly had feelings for Zhao Yu back then.

Now, seeing an old acquaintance, time has changed everything. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Liu Xu nodded, "Brother Zhao Yu, it’s been a long time."

Pei Shu’er: "..."

How shallow she was.

"Mother, I see a ready-to-wear store up ahead, I’ll go have a look around."

While browsing, seeing Liu Xu with Zhao Yu, she began to miss Tang Zan a bit.

They hadn’t seen each other for more than half a year; now that she had some free time, she missed him a little.

The thought made her heart ache a little.

If only Tang Zan were here.

Pei Shu’er, as usual, headed toward the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion; if there was any message to deliver, it would be through this place.

Pei Shu’er asked the steward, "Is there any letter from your master for me?"

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s steward shook his head, "No letter from the master."

To be precise, Tang Zan hadn’t written to her for a month.

Before, it was a daily letter, and slowly, reading Tang Zan’s letters had become a routine.

And through Tang Zan’s thoughts, she had gained vague insights into the frontier’s situation.

Everything was under Tang Zan’s control.

Now, receiving no letter for such a long time, she actually felt rather unaccustomed.

After returning home, she had no appetite; it was already autumn, and the bleak atmosphere affected Pei Shu’er’s mood.

At this moment, Yinxing cheerfully announced, "Young Madam, there’s a visitor."

Pei Shu’er’s eyes lit up, "Who is it?"

She hoped to hear Tang Zan’s name, but Yinxing smiled, "It’s Uncle Xiao."

Upon hearing this name, Pei Shu’er was momentarily dazed, a name from long ago, not heard for quite some time.

To her, it was distant; to Xiao Shen, however, it felt like yesterday.

Every expression and smile of Pei Shu’er was etched in his mind, unshakable, unforgettable.

With each passing day, her image had instead become more vivid in his mind.
