âThis house was bought using my savings. If you look down on me, then beat it! I want to see just who in the whole of Liu Yun Kingdom would sell any of you a house!â
Let alone buying a house, they would even be scorned by peddlers while out buying vegetables. Some of the peddlers would not even sell them anything.
Most of the time they would rely on Lady Liu to pick up some leftover ingredients. The Liu family still had substantial resources, so even if they were stripped of their status, they could still live a comfortable life.
However, with the Liu familyâs current predicament, even if they had money, there was nowhere they could go.
Servants refused to work at their house, tailors did not allow them to enter their shops, and pharmacies were not willing to sell them any medicine...
Fortunately, the owner of the liquor store had received the grace of the Liu family back then, so now they could still have wine to drink.
âLiu Fuyong!!!â
A piercing voice called from behind.
The disdain in Liu Fuyongâs eyes grew without him even turning back to look.
He flung his sleeves, about to leave, but the old woman in hemp clothing had already rushed over and given him a furious shove.
âAfter youâve been seduced by that vixen, you no longer have eyes for both us mother and son, isnât that right? Liu Fuyong, I must have been blind back then to even see anything in scum like you!â The old woman had her hands on her waist looking like a boorish shrew.
Liu Fuyong snorted. âLook at what youâve become! Where are your elegance and sophistication? How different are you from those old women from the countryside?â
âIf Iâm not sophisticated, then is that vixen who first seduced Yuchen and then you sophisticated? Sheâs been missing for two years now, but I know you still canât forget about her! Tell me, are you still hoping for that vixen to come back? Iâm telling you, if she dares to come back, I will murder her!â
âRidiculous!â Liu Fuyong swept the corner of his robes as his eyes filled with hatred.
How was an aged and withered woman like her fit to become his wife?
Shuangâer was still the best. She was so young and beautiful, he could never forget that even until today...
âLiu Fuyong!â Lady Liu raised her hand and gave Liu Fuyong a tight slap across the face.
Liu Fuyong had never expected his wife to lift a hand against him so suddenly, so he ended up receiving it at full force.
He was stunned at first before his eyes burned with fury. âHow dare a bitch like you hit me! If you werenât the one scorning the princess back then, Iâd still be chancellor! Itâs your fault that I was dismissed, your fault that I was laughed at, and now you raise a hand against me?!â
Liu Fuyong reached up and pulled Lady Liuâs hair before giving her a vicious slap.
The strength of a man and a woman was naturally different.
This slap made half of Lady Liuâs face swell up while blood appeared at the corner of her mouth. She glared resentfully at Liu Fuyong.
This pair of husband and wife had now become a completely irreconcilable pair of enemies!
âBitch, do you know how those people look at me when I go outside? Our family was the one who had given up on the princess! Back then, the princess fought the six kingdoms alone, and today, the whole of Liu Yun Kingdom worships her like a god! So no matter where I go, everyone would laugh at me! Even peddlers wouldnât sell me anything!
âAnd this is all thanks to a short-sighted woman like you! Youâre the one who has caused the Liu familyâs demise, youâre to blame!â
He raised his hand again, ready to give her another slap.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Suddenly, a strong arm appeared and grabbed Liu Fuyongâs wrist firmly, stopping the latterâs arm in mid-air, unable to move.
âThatâs enough!â Liu Yuchenâs deep voice sounded as if he was holding back his anger. âJust what are you trying to do? That matter back then, mother, you... and me, weâre all at fault, you canât push all the responsibility to her!â
