It was rare for Wu-shi to express her anger so blatantly. Su Xiucai was probably caught unprepared as he instantly wilted.

He had also heard them say how Yaoniang was a concubine who couldn’t even raise her own child and how tough her life was. His expression became complicated. After all, she was his own daughter. After raising her for over ten years, how could he not feel distressed?

“If she listened to us obediently, why would she have come to this step?” What he thought inside was different from what he said with his mouth. Part of it was because Su Xiucai refused to show weakness, and part of it was because he really thought so in his heart.

“Listen to you? Listen to you and let her be Master He’s concubine? What’s the difference?!”

“It was Yucheng’s wife who told me this matter. Go ask her. Back then, given her situation, finding someone willing to take her in as a concubine was already hard enough. Don’t tell me you hoped she wouldn’t marry. Then she’d be criticized for the rest of her life!” Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

“In the end, you only care about your own reputation. What’s the use of your stupid reputation? You can’t eat it. All you do is hold on to it.” Wu-shi’s rage wasn’t small.

Who would’ve thought that before they even said why they were here, the old couple would start arguing like this?

This was the nature of a mother.

While both the father and the brother hesitated, only the mother rushed out without hesitation.

In the past, it wasn’t that Wu-shi loved Yaoniang any less, but there wasn’t much she could do. Back then, Zhu-shi always found fault with everything at home, and Wu-shi had an attitude of ‘if it was possible to endure it, then endure it’. It wasn’t easy for them to get this daughter-in-law. She had also said the same to Yaoniang. So when Huiniang said that she could take Yaoniang with her to lighten the burden on their family, she agreed.

Who would’ve thought that such a thing would happen to Yaoniang? It would be a huge scandal for the family to have their daughter get pregnant before marriage. Not only would it be a huge scandal but their family also couldn’t afford to raise another child. Yao Cheng felt guilty, and Huiniang was furious, so she took Yaoniang away. After the child was born, they tried to find someone willing to marry Yaoniang. In the end, they did find someone, but he was only willing to take Yaoniang in as a concubine. However, given her situation, being a concubine was better than being criticized for the rest of her life, so Wu-shi didn’t protest.

People always held a ‘what if’ attitude towards things that didn’t happen. What if doing this could’ve improved the situation? What if doing that would’ve been more beneficial? When Wu-shi saw her daughter in such a state, she couldn’t help having such thoughts.

She was uneducated and had limited knowledge. She didn’t understand the gravity of the situation and simply wanted to take her daughter away to protect her under her weak wings. Realizing all this, Yaoniang couldn’t help crying for real.

Yaoniang had always had a grudge in her heart, angry that her parents ignored Zhu-shi’s attempt to sell her off as a concubine. She was also frustrated that her mother kept telling her to endure Zhu-shi. It had reached the point where Zhu-shi began to take advantage of all this power to act as a tyrant.

Although she lived a better life now, she was reluctant to have any contact with her family. But if her family was actually cruel, they would’ve beaten her to death already for getting pregnant out of wedlock. How could she have had the opportunity to go to her sister’s home to give birth?

Even if her father and her brother don’t love her anymore, she still has a mother...

“Let’s go! This old man will go and beg His Highness. Since His Highness is so wise, he definitely knows that it’s fruitless to force matters.”

“Father...”
