Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“This 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!”
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 family’s 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.
“Liu Fuyong!!!”
A piercing voice called from behind.
The disdain in Liu Fuyong’s 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.
“After you’ve been seduced by that vixen, you no longer have eyes for both us mother and son, isn’t that right? Liu Fuyong, I must have been blind back then to even see anything in sc.u.m like you!” The old woman had her hands on her waist looking like a boorish shrew.
Liu Fuyong snorted. “Look at what you’ve become! Where are your elegance and sophistication? How different are you from those old women from the countryside?”
“If I’m not sophisticated, then is that vixen who first seduced Yuchen and then you sophisticated? She’s been missing for two years now, but I know you still can’t forget about her! Tell me, are you still hoping for that vixen to come back? I’m telling you, if she dares to come back, I will murder her!”
“Ridiculous!” 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?
Shuang’er was still the best. She was so young and beautiful, he could never forget that even until today…
“Liu Fuyong!” 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. “How dare a b.i.t.c.h like you hit me! If you weren’t the one scorning the princess back then, I’d still be chancellor! It’s your fault that I was dismissed, your fault that I was laughed at, and now you raise a hand against me?!”
Liu Fuyong reached up and pulled Lady Liu’s hair before giving her a vicious slap.
The strength of a man and a woman was naturally different.
This slap made half of Lady Liu’s 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!
“b.i.t.c.h, 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 wors.h.i.+ps her like a G.o.d! So no matter where I go, everyone would laugh at me! Even peddlers wouldn’t sell me anything!
“And this is all thanks to a short-sighted woman like you! You’re the one who has caused the Liu family’s demise, you’re to blame!”
He raised his hand again, ready to give her another slap.
Suddenly, a strong arm appeared and grabbed Liu Fuyong’s wrist firmly, stopping the latter’s arm in mid-air, unable to move.
“That’s enough!” Liu Yuchen’s deep voice sounded as if he was holding back his anger. “Just what are you trying to do? That matter back then, mother, you… and me, we’re all at fault, you can’t push all the responsibility to her!”
