Su Xiaoxiao proudly let go of Ding Shaoze's hand, and bowed to everyone as if he had won the first place in his speech. When he looked up, he saw Ding Shaoyu's sad eyes. The sadness was like a net, engulfing Su Xiaoxiao's heart completely.
And Su Xiaoxiao's mood, which had finally soared, fell back with a thud. Those sad eyes completely surrounded Su Xiaoxiao's heart, and her heart became more and more suffocated.
"Okay! Eat in peace!" Mrs. Ding really couldn't stand Su Xiaoxiao's cheerful look, so she said coldly. Suddenly, there was silence on the dining table. Everyone ate quietly, except for the chopsticks that touched the bowl and the food.
The sound of chewing in the mouth and other sounds are nowhere to be found.
In this dull and depressing atmosphere, Su Xiaoxiao found that this big family, which was fighting openly and secretly, was actually very harmonious. If it hadn't been for the conflict caused by Mrs. Ding's question, Su Xiaoxiao might have felt that the big family was not without any problems.
warmth.
"Ru'er, you are seventeen years old, and my mother has thought of a marriage for you." Halfway through the meal, Mrs. Ding suddenly put down her chopsticks and said coldly.
Su Xiaoxiao clearly felt that Ding Jingru next to her stiffened. She lowered her face. Su Xiaoxiao couldn't see her expression clearly. He probably sensed her reluctance and helplessness. Soon, Ding Jingru raised her smile and acted coquettishly.
He said, "Mother, Ru'er is still young. I want to stay with my mother at home for a few more years. Mother, please don't be so cruel and marry Ru'er off..."
For some reason, Su Xiaoxiao felt that there was endless sadness behind Ding Jingru's smiling face.
"She is seventeen, she is not young anymore. Your elder brother will take care of my mother. Everything is fine, so you don't have to worry." Mrs. Ding's words made it clear that she could not be rejected.
"Mother, mother, don't you love Ru'er..." Ding Jingru wanted to say something coquettishly, but Mrs. Ding's sharp and cold eyes swept over her. All the words in Ding Jingru's mouth were stuck on her lips, and she could no longer say them.
"Ze'er, aren't you on good terms with His Highness Prince Xu? You can create more opportunities for Ru'er, even as a concubine. Our Ding family is the richest man in the country, and the royal family will sell us to save face."
"Mother, if Ru'er is your daughter, you have the heart to let her become a concubine? A concubine who has no status and is bullied by the main concubine every day?" Ding Jingru shouted angrily, but Mrs. Ding remained expressionless.
She glanced at Ding Jingru coldly and said, "What's wrong with the side concubine? His Highness King Xu has not yet made him a principal concubine. As long as you give birth to a son and know how to capture His Highness Prince Xu's heart, the position of the principal concubine will be yours. As for how to catch a man,
Please learn from your mother-in-law, she is very experienced in how to please men."
Mrs. Ding pointed the finger at Mo Xinlan again. Mo Xinlan just turned pale and did not dare to say anything. Ding Shaoyu's expression was indifferent, as if he was indifferent to the insult to his mother, but Su Xiaoxiao seemed to have those enchanting eyes.
I found a flash of hatred, a hatred so profound that it could destroy everything.
Su Xiaoxiao's heart ached uncontrollably, because Er Niang and Ding Shaoyu were in an embarrassing and aggrieved situation in this wealthy family.
"In short, I will not marry either the principal concubine or the imperial concubine!" Ding Jingru snorted coldly, threw down her chopsticks, and walked towards the door.
There was a loud "pop" sound, and Mrs. Ding jumped up from the table and said angrily, "How dare you walk out of this door today! You are not my daughter!"
Ding Jingru's body froze, paused for a moment, and continued to walk towards the door.
"Sister, think again, don't make my mother sad..." Ding Shaoze said and was about to take Ding Jingru's hand. Ding Jingru shook Ding Shaoze's hand away, "Are they all like you, being my mother's puppet?
Is that so? Just do whatever your mother tells you to do, no matter whether it is harmful to the world or not, or whether it makes your dead father sad!..."
"Sister, what have I done that is so outrageous? There is a reason for everything I do!"
"You know what you have done! Do you dare to say that you are worthy of your sister-in-law, your second mother, and your second brother?"
"Bang!" With a loud bang, Mrs. Ding's palm hit the dining table hard, her face turned blue with anger, her finger pointed at the door, her voice was so angry that she couldn't help but tremble, "Don't talk nonsense here! Get out!"
"It was you who told me to get out! I didn't leave on my own!" Ding Jingru was about to rush out angrily. Su Xiaoxiao didn't want the mother and daughter to break up because of their anger, so she hurriedly held Ding Jingru's hand and persuaded, "Miss
, the old lady is also angry for a moment, she doesn’t really want you to get out, why are the mother and daughter so quarrelsome, bow your head to the old lady and admit your mistake, the old lady will not blame you anymore..."
"Bitch, I don't want you here crying and pretending to be compassionate! Ever since Ze'er married you, our Ding family has never had a day of peace! You bitch, I wonder if you have never seen a man in your previous life, so you are so shameless that you still want to marry.
He entered our Ding family and caused discord in our Ding family. Mother and daughter turned against each other. She is really a bitch who has father but no mother..."
"Mom, what you said is too much. My sister-in-law is my sister-in-law after all. No matter how wrong she is, she was married by my eldest brother..." Ding Shaoyu, who had been watching all this coldly, suddenly smiled and spoke, but his smile was so cold that his words were so cold.
The meaning is very clear. No matter how bad the sister-in-law is, it was Ding Shaoze who married someone else because he was blind or because he was greedy for the Su family's property. Who is to blame?
"I'm scolding this bitch here. It's your turn to speak. You are just the son of a concubine. If I hadn't been generous and left you mother and son in the Ding family, you would have been living on the streets long ago. Give it to me and I will put away your things.
You shouldn't have thoughts!" Mrs. Ding was also furious. Perhaps she was looking for an outlet for the emotions she had suppressed for many years, so she scolded Ding Shaoyu.
Ding Shaoyu's expression remained unchanged, but the light in his eyes was as cold as frost, while Mo Xinlan's expression became extremely ugly. It took her a long time to squeeze out a smile, pursed her lips, but said nothing.
Mrs. Ding glanced condescendingly at Mo Xinlan. She had hated her daughter for almost twenty years. As she got older, her hatred not only did not dissipate, but became stronger and stronger. She wished she could drive them out.
!
Twenty years ago, since the master took this woman as his concubine, this woman has taken away all the favor from the master. Now, does she want her son to take away everything from her son? Don’t even think about it!
The air was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be clearly heard. Standing next to Ding Shaoyu, Su Xiaoxiao seemed to be able to hear Ding Shaoyu's suppressed strong heartbeat.
"Mother, Ru Liu was just unintentional. I hope mother..."
"You even speak for that bitch?" As soon as Ding Shaoze opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Mrs. Ding. Mrs. Ding finally found an outlet for her suppressed emotions for many years, but it was not so easy to give up. She pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and scolded her.
, "If you hadn't been seeking life and death and shamelessly marrying into our Ding family, our Ding family would have already been married to the royal family. It's you, a bitch, who is getting in the way here, a bitch with no family education..."
"That's enough! Don't think that I'm afraid of you because I don't reply! I respect you as an elder, so I don't know you the same way! Rabbits will bite when they are anxious. If I don't get angry, you think I am Su Xiao... Su Ruliu
Are you so easy to bully? You are asked to make balls and lentils and dare not resist?"
"It doesn't matter if you scold me, because you are the elder, but you can't insult my parents!" Although they are not my parents, they are my parents in this body. Su Xiaoxiao can also relate to the uncomfortable feeling of his parents being insulted.
.
"How do you think you are noble? You are just a tasteless, pretentious, condescending, arrogant old woman who thinks you are an ugly, stubborn and outdated old woman! Do you think everyone respects you? Huh! Wrong! This
Except for your son who is as violent as you and doesn't know right from wrong, no one respects you from the bottom of his heart! You are just the most pitiful woman! You think you are a god, superior and can control the life and death of everyone in the Ding family.
, I tell you, you are wrong! You are not qualified to control the life and death of others, all living beings are equal! You are not a god, you are just a poor woman who is not loved!"
"Let me tell you, it was because I was blind that I shamelessly married your son! Do you think your son is really as good as you said? If you and your son weren't greedy for our Su family's property, would you marry him now?
Regret? Humph! It’s so funny! Moreover, you took away all my family’s property and forced my parents to death without letting me know about it. You also allowed your concubine to push me into the pool and almost drown me, leaving me in the most remote place.
If I hadn’t been so lucky, I would have died of illness if I hadn’t drowned!”
"Yes! I am a bitch! I am not just a bitch, I am also a hard-core bitch! I am here to conquer you and settle your family! What do you think? Why don't you ask your son to divorce me! I am just a nouveau riche, and I am still a bitch.
You want to marry the royal family? If you can't, blame me for blocking your sunshine road? It's ridiculous! If you really have the ability, ask the emperor to marry the princess to your son as a concubine! That's the real ability! You don't have to marry your daughter off
Being a concubine for the prince and marrying the royal family? How shameful! They all say that they would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine. I have never seen you, a bad woman who pushed her daughter into the fire pit for the sake of family glory and own face.
!”
"If you are so capable, why didn't you marry the emperor yourself back then? Then you might be the imperial concubine now! We all have to kneel down and call you empress. If you don't have the ability to force your daughter, don't you think so?
What kind of mother are you? Are there any mothers like you? If you really have the ability to lock a man's heart, your man will not be snatched away! Besides, men take concubines, have romantic affairs, have sex with each other, and fall in love with each other.
, Is it the woman’s fault for being irresponsible? Is it the second mother’s fault that your man married a second mother? It’s only the man who should be blamed, it’s irresponsible! They are all women, why bother women?”
"And you!" Su Xiaoxiao pointed her sword at Ding Shaoze's concubines, "...

I went out to do some errands yesterday. It was already 12pm when I got home. I was so tired that I fell asleep. There was only one update, sorry.
