The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 127: Forgetting Your Mother After Getting a Wife

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Forgetting Your Mother After Getting a Wife

Mingzhu said that Xie Yunzhen would come back for lunch, and Princess An He thought it was a lie.

Unexpectedly, he really came back.

After not seeing him for a few days, Princess An He immediately restrained her furious emotions.

"Ah Zhen, are you ready for lunch? If you haven’t eaten, the small kitchen has your favorite fragrant braised meat..."

The concern in Princess An He’s eyes was not fake, and Xie Yunzhen only felt suffocated.

If she cared so much about him, why did she make his beloved suffer?

Is this genuine concern for him?

On the way to the main courtyard, someone had already reported the happenings in the mansion to him.

He had said that as long as Mingzhu was happy, she could do anything she wanted.

If she wanted to vent her anger on Yuan Changan, he had no objections.

No matter how Mingzhu dealt with Du Peifang, he would back her up.

But all of this was based on Mingzhu’s willingness.

Now, his mother was trying to manipulate others to do the dirty work, forcing Mingzhu into action.

Is Mingzhu truly happy in her heart?

Xie Yunzhen’s eyes were deep, and he stared directly into Princess An He’s eyes.

"Mother, from now on, I won’t let Mingzhu come to the main courtyard, and you don’t need to send someone to invite her. If it happens again, I will move her out of the Duke Mansion directly."

The smile on Princess An He’s face froze.

She expected her son to speak on Ji Mingzhu’s behalf, but she didn’t expect him to want to move out of the Duke Mansion.

She asked, frustratedly, "What, do you want to sever ties with us for the sake of a woman? Don’t forget you are the heir, you can never separate yourself from the Duke Mansion!"

"I can."

At worst, he could forfeit the heir’s position.

Without Mingzhu, wealth and glory meant nothing.

Xie Yunzhen’s expression was calm.

"Mingzhu is my wife, and I have the responsibility to protect her. If you insist on hurting her, that means you are going against me."

"Going against you?"

Princess An He laughed in anger, "You are my son, why would I go against you?"

No wonder people say once you have a wife, you forget your mother.

Ever since getting involved with Ji Mingzhu, Ah Zhen’s elbow was bending further and further outwards!

Xie Yunzhen’s eyes were filled with confusion.

"But if I did something to hurt you, why do you keep stabbing me in my weakest spot?"

He did not get angry, nor did he issue cold threats as before.

But it was his calmness that made Princess An He feel uneasy and give up the idea of arguing with him.

She softened her tone, "If I was targeting her, could she have even entered the Duke Mansion? Could I send her nourishing soups daily? I’m just teaching her the rules, you are overthinking."

Xie Yunzhen disliked beating around the bush.

No matter how much was said, it couldn’t change the fact that Mingzhu suffered grievances in the main courtyard.

He reiterated, "From today onwards, I won’t let Mingzhu come to the main courtyard. If you want us to move out, you can continue to be persistent."

Looking at Princess An He’s fiery eyes, Xie Yunzhen spoke unhurriedly.

"As long as Ji Mingzhu is alive, I live. If she is happy, I’m happy. If she gets hurt in the mansion, I will leave with her without hesitation."

His tone was calm, not like the madness from months ago.

But as mother and son, Princess An He knew he was serious.

The color drained from her face little by little.

She was the mistress of the Duke Mansion, Mingzhu’s mother-in-law, yet did she not even have the right to discipline her?

What kind of mother-in-law has to endure such humbling!

"Do you really have to be like this?"

"Yes, I really have to."

He had struggled to find his treasure; he wouldn’t allow anyone to hurt her.

"Mother, Mingzhu and I have never been your enemies, but if you continue to make things hard for Mingzhu, I can’t predict what will happen in the future."

Xie Yunzhen turned and left.

Princess An He slumped into her chair, gripping the armrests so hard that her forearms trembled.

"This is the son I carried for ten months and gave birth to. Back when his father took a concubine, he still said I was the closest to him, that he would listen to me and never make me sad."

"And this is what he calls listening!"

The maid consoled, "On one side is his mother, on the other is his wife, the Young Master is also troubled, the words just now were unintentional, you shouldn’t take them to heart. If the Young Master really wanted to move out, with his temperament, he would definitely have just left."

"The reason he came to the main courtyard is because he cares about you and doesn’t want to become estranged from you as mother and son."

Over the years, the status of the Princess Commandery in the mansion had been unshakable, largely because she gave birth to a good son.

Even the old madam came to reassess her and no longer favored her own son over her.

She also stopped interfering in the affairs of the Duke’s back courtyard, leaving everything to the Princess Commandery to manage.

The Young Master had a promising future.

Having such a good son, it’s really not wise to push him away.

If the Young Master breaks with the Duke Mansion, it would be their loss.

"Princess, you must keep calm, the Young Master cherishes Mingzhu now, in another one or two years who knows what the situation will be, you can’t for an outsider, push away your own son."

Princess An He didn’t want to either.

She had only this one son.

A quarrel with her son was like a stab into her own heart.

But she just couldn’t stand Ji Mingzhu.

Without a powerful family background, without extraordinary talent.

How could she be worthy of Ah Zhen?

Was it just because she had a seductive face?

Thinking that her son was actually seduced by beauty, Princess An He became even more annoyed.

Wishing she could scratch Ji Mingzhu’s face, so she could no longer enchant Ah Zhen!

The maid, seeing the expression on the princess’s face, thought to herself, the conflict between mother and daughter-in-law seemed to have worsened with the Young Master’s visit!

She quickly comforted, "That Ji Mingzhu looks good, just regard her as a plaything for the Young Master to enjoy, as long as the Young Master is happy, that makes her valuable. The children born of her will probably be pretty and lively too. Once she is of no use, then you can send her away, wouldn’t that be satisfying?"

Princess An He snorted coldly.

"Am I supposed to endure her for a few more years?"

"As long as she serves the Young Master well, enduring her won’t really matter."

Princess An He gritted her teeth, "But won’t that give her a chance to sow discord?"

"If we ignore her, no matter how much she tries to stir things up, it’s useless. The Young Master isn’t someone who can be easily deceived, he knows very well who is right and who is wrong."

Being praised for her son, Princess An He proudly lifted her chin.

Then she realized something.

Her face immediately darkened.

"So, he came today to cause trouble because I was wrong?"

The maid bit her tongue, silently cursing herself for misspeaking.

She quickly tried to amend her words.

"The Young Master just got married, and he doesn’t have a woman to serve him in his room. He is probably quite engrossed at the moment, which is why he doesn’t want the Young Madam to come to the main courtyard."

Princess An He accepted this explanation and cursed, "Just like his fickle father, so unreliable!"

In Du Peifang’s courtyard, having lunch with her, the Lord sneezed.

Du Peifang hurriedly asked, "Did you catch a cold? Shall we call the doctor for you?"

The atmosphere between them was still a bit awkward.

But it was much better than before.

Duke Xie told himself that Du Peifang was now his legitimate woman, and he shouldn’t treat her coldly anymore.

Otherwise, she would suffer grievances in the inner chambers.

So, when Du Peifang reached out to touch his forehead, Duke Xie took the opportunity to grasp her wrist.

"Pei Fang, I know how you feel aggrieved, don’t be afraid, I will protect you in the future."

When Duke Xie was young, he was also known as a handsome man in the capital.

Although he had aged, his figure and skin remained well-maintained, making him look much younger than his actual age.

Steady, gentle...

Facing his caring gaze, Du Peifang suddenly felt that this old man wasn’t difficult to get close to at all.
