A nominal couple talked and began to eat in silence.
Seeing Shizi eating in a serious manner, without hooking up with him or showing his face, Xu Susu was very surprised.
In the past, if Guo Shizi had the opportunity to sit at a table with her for dinner, he would sit next to her, and when she had a bad fit, he would fumble under the table with his hands and feet, and he must say something dirty. Crazy talk. If she is angry and secretly refuses, he will have a stinky face, pointing fingers and cursing, and going crazy by drinking.
While eating, Mrs. Hou, Guo Shizi's mother Yao Shi arrived.
Seeing the young couple eating peacefully together, Yao Shi felt very relieved.
She hasn't seen this situation for a long time. It's just that there are still shortcomings in my heart, the young couple are too far apart.
Seeing Mrs. Hou coming, Li Huaide's heart trembled, he got up respectfully and saluted, and said, "Mother, why are you here?"
Yao Shi glared at him and said, "You've been in seclusion for half a month, can I come and take a look?"
Li Huaide said with a smile: "It's the son's fault, it made the mother worry."
Yao shi naturally sat down on the table. Why is she being polite at her son's house
The maid hurriedly set the table and chopsticks for her.
"Son, why did you suddenly think of retreating?" Yao asked with concern.
Guo Shizi has never passed the retreat except for the foundation building session.
Hearing this question, Xu Susu was very guilty. She intuitively felt that Shizi's retreat had something to do with the palm she slapped. She was afraid that the prince would sue. Knowing that she slapped her, the mother-in-law must be angry.
Yao Shi was originally very optimistic about Xu Susu, but after getting married, she quarreled with her son every three days and refused to let her son into the house. What mother can bear it? She didn't divorce Xu Susu, that's because of her background. His son is not up to date.
But when it comes to this daughter-in-law, Yao's face is naturally not good.
Li Huaide said with a smile: "My son suddenly regretted that night. I realized that today is right and yesterday was wrong. I don't want my mother to worry about me anymore. I am determined to stop wandering around, practice hard, learn business, and share worries for my parents."
Yao shi couldn't believe his ears.
Guo Fu took the opportunity to go up and report: "Madam, the son has written a letter to release concubines, and decided to release all those concubines tomorrow, and dismiss all more than forty maids and concubines."
Yao Shi was dumbfounded.
The nuns and maids who came with her stared at Shizi with wide eyes in disbelief.
Li Huaide nodded calmly.
Yao looked at Xu Susu, Xu Susu said with a guilty conscience: "This is the son's decision, I didn't force him."
"Not bad!" Li Huaide said.
Yao shi was overjoyed, and then said in a tangled voice: "My son! It's a good thing you have this idea, but you don't have to dismiss them all, right? Everyone is gone, who will serve you?"
Well, a daughter-in-law can't be counted on. The concubines are all gone. Who will give birth to my grandson
Li Huaide said calmly: "My son is married, there is Mrs. Xu, mother doesn't have to worry."
Yao Shi said in his heart, it is because of her that I am worried! But it's not easy to say this in front of Xu Susu.
Xu Susu lowered her head. She didn't want to answer this, and she couldn't refute it, so she had to acquiesce.
Yao Shi had no choice but to comfort himself, maybe the young couple finally made peace, and it must be Xu Shi who caused his son to dismiss those concubines. This daughter-in-law is really jealous, really hateful. Forget it, let's see, if there is no movement after a year, it is inevitable that the old lady will still find a few concubines for her good son.
After eating with his son and chatting for a while, seeing that his son's complexion was much better than before, Mrs. Yao went back with peace of mind.
Li Huaide heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Yao Shi off, nodded at Xu Susu, and went back to his room.
When Xu Susu returned to her bedroom, she felt that what happened tonight was really weird.
Haitang said happily: "Miss, the son is asking the prodigal son to turn back. It's really great."
Xu Susu curled her lips and said, "Don't be too happy, you must be trying to lie to me again."
Ding Xiang smiled and said: "At least this time he is willing to spend his time to deceive, miss, you should give in a bit, you can't live like this with him for the rest of your life. Since he is willing to make this gesture, you can't be too cold human heart."
Haitang nodded and said: "Yes! Miss, you are already married to him, if he is willing to change, as he is today, I don't think he is worse than those senior brothers in the inner sect."
Ding Xiang and Hai Tang are both outer disciples of Chunshui Temple, they grew up with Xu Susu when they were young.
Xu Susu sighed quietly. After being married for more than a year, she is also under tremendous pressure. She also knew in her heart that this was not the end. It's just that there is a sigh of relief in my heart, and I don't want to bow my head and give in. Now that Li Huaide has done such a great job, she is also a little shaken in her heart.
Early the next morning, Xu Susu accompanied Li Huaide to greet his in-laws.
The Marquis of Jeju heard a report about his dead son last night. When he saw his son, his demeanor and expression really improved a lot. It was quite different from the past.
After his son greeted him, he asked with a smile, "Demin, what achievements have you made in retreat for half a month?"
Li Huaide said respectfully: "I have ascended to the fourth floor of Foundation Establishment."
The Marquis of Jeju nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "I haven't tested you for a long time, and today I want to compete with you."
Li Huaide smiled and said: "Yes!"
If it was in the past, Guo Shizi would have to evade in every possible way, and would never agree so readily. However, Li Huaide is a genius in cultivating Taoism, and he has been waiting for this day. How can you have power if you don't have the trust of Lord Hou? The fastest way to gain Lord Hou's trust is to show off one's own strength.
Jeju Marquis raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Okay, come with me!"
Li Huaide strode behind him.
Yao's mood was tangled, thinking back in the past, when his son was five or six years old, this situation only happened. She was happy that her son was getting close to Lord Hou, but she was also afraid that Lord Hou would hurt her son inadvertently.
She hurriedly followed behind the father and son,
Xu Susu followed curiously. To be honest, she rarely saw Guo Shizi make a move.
Marquis of Jeju is a high-level foundation builder, so his residence naturally has a special practice room.
When he arrived at the practice room, the Marquis of Jeju took his sword and said with a smile, "I'll try your sword skills first."
Li Huaide took out his Songyun Sword from the storage bag, made a movement of Chunshui Sword, and said, "Father, please enlighten me!"
Jeju Hou clicked his tongue, this attitude and gesture is very polite! Is this really my son
"Be careful!" He said, and launched an offensive. He also used the Spring Water Sword Technique.
The descendants of the Guo family have worshiped under Chunshuiguan for generations, and Moxia's influence has long been integrated with Chunshuiguan.
The father and son, from the seniority of Chunshuiguan, can be regarded as the relationship between uncle and nephew.
Lord Hou still put it away first, afraid of hurting his son, he saw his son first used the Spring Water Sword Intent. The sword intent was like spring water, and he was overjoyed, so he also used the long river sword intent to fight his son.
Lord Hou's sword intent was powerful, but although the spring water was soft, it kept flowing, slowly calming down the torrent of the long river and trapping Lord Hou.
Hou Ye repeatedly used big moves and clashed vertically and horizontally, but he still couldn't get out.
Xu Susu was so amazed that she couldn't believe her eyes.
