Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 126 The Deeply Affectionate and Obsessive Emperor and His Beloved Concubine 3

Chu Yue returned to the Chu family happily. However, when Chu Yue's mother, Madam Shen, saw that there was no sign of her son-in-law behind her, her face fell, which was unusual for her.

"Moon, where is your husband?" Madam Shen asked.

Chu Yue forced a smile and said ingratiatingly, "Mother, the General is too busy. He'll come next time he has time."

"You've been wronged, haven't you? If you had listened to your mother earlier, you wouldn't have suffered after marrying into that family."

Madam Shen choked up a little. Her beloved daughter was going to be a second wife and was not even well received.

"Alright, it's too late to say all this now," Chu Yan said with a stern face. He also felt sorry for his daughter, but with so many eyes watching in broad daylight, he had no choice but to agree for the sake of his daughter's reputation.

Chu Yue felt much more relaxed after returning home, but she couldn't stay too long after her wedding, and had to return to the General's Mansion in the afternoon.

After reluctantly leaving the Chu residence, Chu Yue returned to the General's Mansion. As soon as she entered, she was greeted by a stern shout: "Kneel down!"

Chu Yue looked up and saw a woman sitting in the courtyard, frowning as she looked at her.

"Daughter-in-law greets Mother..." The woman was Xiao Yu's mother. She had been away for the past two days, supposedly to pray for blessings.

She didn't even come back for her son's wedding, and now that she's suddenly back, she probably doesn't like her.

“It takes this long just to go back to your parents’ home. Now that you’re married, you should prioritize your husband’s family. Kneel here and reflect on your actions.” Mother Xiao spoke sharply and sternly, without a trace of gentleness.

Chu Yue knelt down as instructed: "Mother, your daughter-in-law knows she was wrong..."

"Hmph..." Mother Xiao went back inside.

Xiao Yu brought Xiao Yan back. As soon as they entered the mansion, they saw her kneeling on the ground. Xiao Yan chuckled gloatingly, "Father, she feels she shouldn't have gone back, so she's here to apologize."

Xiao Yu pressed his temples, and said impatiently, "Why are you kneeling?"

Chu Yue explained softly, "I came back late, and my mother was a little angry, so she made me kneel here."

"I only stayed a little longer than usual, I really didn't mean to come back late. Husband, please tell my mother for me, I won't do it again next time." Chu Yue looked at Xiao Yu with pleading in her eyes.

Xiao Yu naturally noticed that her face was pale and her thin figure was trembling slightly. He admitted that she was extremely beautiful. If she were to marry someone else, with her stunning looks and slender figure, she would surely win the love of her husband.

Unfortunately, she married him. He would not change his mind because of her appearance. In his heart, his wife would always be number one, even though she was no longer with him.

"Grandma's back!" Xiao Yan exclaimed softly, then ran into the house.

Xiao Yu frowned: "Then you shall kneel properly until Mother calms down. You don't need to do anything in front of me, but you must serve Mother well and not be negligent in the slightest, otherwise the Xiao family will not tolerate you."

Chu Yue replied timidly, "Yes..."

Xiao Yu strode away.

It wasn't until dusk that someone came to wake Chu Yue, telling her to go and serve the old lady her meal.

Chu Yue endured the pain and came into the hall. Xiao Yan said something that made Xiao's mother smile. When she saw Chu Yue, her face darkened.

"Mother, your daughter-in-law will serve you your meal." Chu Yue stepped forward and stood beside Xiao's mother, serving her soup.

She said respectfully, "Mother, please have some." But secretly, she had Lingling slip a nightmare pill into the soup. It would be quite amusing if Xiao's mother, at her age, were tormented by nightmares every night, driving her to the brink of madness!

Wanting to appear magnanimous in front of her son, Xiao's mother took the soup and said, "Now that you've married into the Xiao family, you must put your husband and the Xiao family first. I made you kneel to teach you not to do it again."

She then looked at Xiao Yu: "Yu'er, what do you think?"

“Mother is right, she will remember it.” Xiao Yu felt that his mother was absolutely right.

"Yes, daughter-in-law remembers," Chu Yue replied softly.

Xiao Yan felt annoyed by her pitiful appearance. She rolled her eyes and looked at Chu Yue: "Give me a bowl of soup!"

Chu Yue looked up helplessly, her eyes pleading for help from Xiao Yu, but the man remained unmoved, and Xiao's mother continued to drink her soup.

"Yan'er, here you go." Chu Yue ladled out the soup, then had Lingling throw the disfigurement pill into it before handing it to Xiao Yan.

It won't cause immediate disfigurement; it will start with red rashes, then pimples, and finally, ulceration...

This girl is going to be devastated!

Xiao Yan took the drink and drank it without a care in the world. In her mind, this was not her father's new wife, but just an extra maid in the Xiao family, and it was only right that she served them.

“Starting tomorrow, you should go to Ping’an Temple to pray for the Xiao family. Yu’er has been fighting all year round. Swords have no eyes. As his wife, you can’t do anything else, so go and pray for him and bless him with peace and good fortune.”

Xiao's mother didn't want to see her at home; in her heart, her only daughter-in-law was Xiao Yan's mother.

"Mother... how long will you be gone?" Chu Yue asked weakly.

"Go there for a month first, and you must pray sincerely. If you have any ulterior motives, the Bodhisattva will see it. Go first thing tomorrow morning."

After speaking, Xiao's mother looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Yu'er, is this arrangement by your mother acceptable?"

"Of course it's good. Thank you for taking care of everything for me, Mother." Xiao Yu felt guilty towards his mother, as she had been managing the household since his wife left.

The new wife also didn't please her mother, otherwise her mother wouldn't have asked her to leave.

It's better for him to leave; out of sight, out of mind. He doesn't want to see her anyway.

"Yes, daughter-in-law understands..." Chu Yue replied.

After serving the others their meal, she hastily ate a few mouthfuls of leftovers.

When they got back inside, they were so exhausted that they collapsed on the floor.

Xiao Tao was heartbroken: "Miss, why did they do this?"

Is this the kind of upbringing the General's family has?

"I'm fine. Let's get some rest. We're going to Ping'an Temple tomorrow."

Xiao Tao didn't say anything more and helped her wash up.

Chu Yue had just finished washing up and lay down when she heard faint noises coming from inside the mansion. A smile of pleasure appeared on her lips; the nightmare pill she had given the old woman had worked.

This is just the beginning; the real breakdown is yet to come.

"Zero zero one, give some of the bad luck pill to General Xiao. I really want to see him make a fool of himself." Chu Yue had an idea.

"Okay." Zero Zero answered while starting to rummage through the props.

"If General Xiao's wife saw him make a fool of himself, wouldn't she be heartbroken? It's a pity she's gone."

Chu Yue thought with a wicked sense of humor, "If you mess with her, you won't have an easy time."

"Yueyue, the Emperor will also be visiting Ping'an Temple. Your chance has come. Good luck!" 001 provided the information.

"understood……"

The Xiao family called a doctor in the middle of the night. The old lady was awakened by a nightmare and could not fall back asleep no matter what she did, disturbing the sleep of the entire household.

Xiao Yu had no choice but to stay by her side to prevent the old lady from becoming frightened again.

Despite feeling sleepy, Xiao Yan came over. For some reason, she felt a little itchy on her face, scratched it with her hand, and then didn't pay any more attention to it.

Chu Yue pretended not to know anything about it, gave a soft hum, and went to sleep peacefully.
