A woman can steal the show in a hunting match. Although Mrs. Huang is also proud of her son's passing the imperial examination, as a mother, she naturally hopes that her own child will excel, and she couldn't help but bring up this incident for comparison.
But Master Huang was furious when he heard this, because he didn't like Su Yao in the first place.
He is good friends with Xu Ying and Xu Rui, and he also happens to have a very good relationship with several young masters of the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis's Mansion, but all of them were dealt with by the Su family.
Originally, it would be fine if Su Yao was an ordinary person.
But this woman is not content with staying at home. She has to show off her abilities everywhere, and does some competitive and cocky things to show how powerful she is.
For example, what role does a woman like her have in this hunting event? She should not stay in the tent and watch the singing and dancing, but run to the hunting ground to show off. She simply does not understand her own identity.
He originally hated the Su family's way of doing things, but unfortunately the Su family was thriving, and Su Yao became a favorite of the Eleventh Princess, and was the most popular person in the enclosure. There was nothing he could do, and he could only pretend that he could not hear or see anything.
Who knew that God still had eyes after all, and Su Rong actually died.
To this day, whenever Mr. Huang thinks of the miserable state of the Su family at the city gate, he still feels relieved and happy.
Hearing his mother talking about Su Yao, he snorted with some harsh sarcasm: "Mom, are you stupid? How can you compare a family with almost no men left? Even if she is the Changning County Lady, she only shows off her ability. Even if she is in the limelight, how long can she last? Is she worthy of being compared with your son?"
Mrs. Huang didn't expect that one sentence would cause her son to complain so much. She couldn't help but smile helplessly. She didn't want to have a conflict with her son over this matter, so she followed his words and said, "Okay, okay, they are all jinxes and are not worthy of being compared with my son. Is that right? I don't know where you get so much anger from all day long."
After smiling and scolding her son for a few words, Madam Huang urged him to take a bath and change clothes. She added, "Go wash up and change clothes quickly. We can have dinner together later. Your father will be leaving the government office soon."
Thinking of this, Mrs. Huang was beaming with joy: "Your cousin is coming too, so don't look so shabby and make a fool of yourself."
The cousin that Mrs. Huang mentioned was the daughter of her younger sister from her natal family, that is, the daughter of Wei, who was married to Mr. Chen, the deputy commander of the North City Military Department.
Young Master Huang knew that his mother liked his cousin as her daughter-in-law, so he did not object. He just agreed and went downstairs to pack up.
Madam Huang looked at his back and sighed, "You are always so impetuous. Everything is good except your mouth. You speak without thinking. I don't know how many people you have offended."
The daughters-in-law below all smiled and said nice things. They knew very well in their hearts that although Mrs. Huang could complain, she was the only one who could criticize her son. If the others really wanted to agree with her, they would be fools.
After picking up her son, Mrs. Huang arranged other matters. She was about to send someone to the yamen to see why her husband had not returned yet, when the doorman of the house ran in hurriedly to report that a group of people had come to the door and were blocking the gate. They said that they were beaten by Mr. Huang and demanded justice from Mr. Huang.
Mrs. Huang immediately raised her eyebrows and sneered unhappily: "This is ridiculous! My son just came back from the paddock. How could he go to beat anyone? These people are obviously trying to blackmail me and beat me away with a big stick!"
The steward wiped the cold sweat from his head and said in embarrassment: "I'm afraid this won't work, Madam... The person who came is the steward of the Yongding Earl's Mansion. He brought the letter from the Yongding Earl's Mansion and asked our family to give an explanation..."
If they were ordinary civilians, they could certainly be driven away, but since they were people from the Yongding Marquis' Mansion, they could not be driven away easily.
When Mrs. Huang heard that they were people from the Yongding Marquis's Mansion, she was a little confused for a moment. Thinking of her son's fierce attitude when he mentioned the Su family before, her heart skipped a beat. She didn't dare to ask someone to drive the person away directly, but cautiously asked someone to call her son over.
Young Master Huang had just changed his clothes and his hair was not even dried yet. He came out impatiently, "Mom, what's the matter that made you call me so urgently? I haven't finished what I'm doing yet."
Mrs. Huang stopped smiling and stared at him seriously, frowning and asking, "Did you beat up someone from the Su family?"
The impatience on Mr. Huang's face turned into disgust, and he snorted righteously: "Why, they actually have the nerve to come to our door?"
Does that mean the fight really happened
Mrs. Huang was furious. Although she usually indulged her son, she couldn't help getting angry at this time. She raised her voice in confusion: "What's wrong with you? You're causing trouble as soon as you come back! The Su family is in a... time right now, why are you provoking them for no reason?!"
Although Mrs. Huang also dislikes the Su family, she doesn't go and beat people up. Isn't that crazy
She pushed Mr. Huang in anger and said, "You really are trying to make your father proud. When your father comes back and finds out, he'll beat you up. Why don't you go and invite the man in and apologize to him?!"
Although she was angry, he was her son after all, so Mrs. Huang naturally had to make plans for her son. She was afraid that Huang Zhengqing would come back and settle the score with her, so she was busy asking her son to resolve the matter quickly so that the family could have a happy meal.
Young Master Huang was stubborn. When he heard that he had to go and apologize, his face changed and he asked excitedly: "You want me to apologize to them, mother, what do you think?! What did I do? Do you know that the unlucky star, the one who killed the loyal and brave Marquis Mansion, even touched my sleeve with her hand! Damn, I feel unlucky when I think about it now. I can't say that I will be unlucky in the future if I am touched by such an unlucky star! Besides, it was their servants who wanted to hit me first. Can't I fight back?!"
Mrs. Huang was even more confused after hearing this. She didn't know why the servants of the Su family would hit her own son. She shook her head with a headache: "What's the point of you saying this? Now they have come to our door and they refuse to leave. When your father comes back and sees them, you will see who will suffer. I'll see if you can still be stubborn then!"
Young Master Huang said indifferently, "If that's the case, why not just have them driven away? The Su family is now nothing more than a lost dog, who would care about their servants?"
Madam Huang was so angry that she couldn't understand why he was so stubborn. Just as she was getting angry, another steward came running in: "Madam, Master, someone from Shuntian Mansion came and asked for you to come over!"
Shuntian Prefecture? Madam Huang opened her eyes wide: "Did the Su family report to the authorities?"
