Exile

75

At the moment of seeing Jiang Mao, Consort Lou immediately noticed the child in Jiang Mao's hand. She frowned in displeasure at first, but after thinking about it, who knows what, she was soon relieved and moved her eyes away from Su Caicai.

Consort Lou didn't pay too much attention to Su Caicai anymore. She didn't put Su Caicai in her eyes at all. Merely a bastard and seemingly not too old, easy to get a hold of anyway.

Consort Lou talked directly to Jiang Mao about that embarrassed affairs of hers, "where have you been these months?" Speaking of these things, Consort Lou felt a bit angry as she said: "do you know how your mother has been bullied in the past few months since you left?"

While Jiang Mao pulled Su Caicai's hand out of his mouth, he asked, "Oh? What does it look like to be bullied?"

Consort Lou was so irritated by his extremely indifferent attitude that she swatted the table and stood up then pointed to Jiang Mao as she scolded: "you're such a cruel and unscrupulous thing. This consort had raised you up for so many..."

Before Consort Lou finished speaking, Jiang Mao glared at her while sneering, and all of a sudden her voice ceased. She was probably thinking that she didn't seem to raise Jiang Mao for so many years.

Consort Lou grudgingly sat back and did not lose her bad temper again. Besides, they both were well aware that not much remains of their mother-child relationships, and she also knew that at present, she had to rely on Jiang Mao for everything. Without Jiang Mao, she had nothing.

"In front of so many ministers, Fifth Prince and Sixth Prince drove this consort out of the palace." At this point, Consort Lou couldn't keep calm all along. "You have to think up something quickly. This consort wants them to welcome this consort back."

Jiang Mao couldn't understand Consort Lou's insistence on the palace. He frowned, "Imperial Father is dying. What's the use of staying in the palace? Is it not good to stay in Yue Wang Residence? "

"What do you know?" Consort Lou was a little contemptuous. Jiang Mao was an adult man, the one she gave birth to, and he did not have future prospects. Live in the Yue Wang Residence? To be pressured by people for the whole life? To be bullied? "In a word, you remember to sort out the fifth prince and sixth prince. They did this, not only this consort's face became a sore sight, but you and our Yue Wang Residence will be looked down upon."

Jiang Mao declined to comment regarding these matters, he said a few ambiguous words. In the capital city, for reputation, he still couldn't tear his face away from his birth mother, Consort Lou. But he also couldn't fight with Fifth Prince and Sixth Prince for the vanity of Consort Lou.

Jiang Mao didn't refuse and Consort Lou took it as he agreed. Her gaze shifted to Su Caicai and she asked, "Who is this child?"

"My son."

Consort Lou was a little displeased. "How can you have a son before you get married?" After looking at Su Caicai, she sighed helplessly, "forget it, already gotten then keep him. Our home isn't lacking to feed one more mouth, but..." Her thread of discussion changed course, "it's fine to keep him, but he's not allowed to be kept it in the residence."

Jiang Mao actually didn't get angry at this, but nodded approvingly, "I have this exact meaning."

Consort Lou smiled and nodded with satisfaction. Since she came out of the Buddhist temple, Jiang Mao had not been as obedient as before, especially in the recent period.

At the next moment, Jiang Mao continued to say, "I'm not sure if I can place him in this residence because of the crooks mixed in with the honest folk here."
