"You are different. Why did people in the village call you when you were a child?"
"Little mouse? Hmm, no, no, it seems to be a little black mouse."
Su Tongyuan stopped and laughed loudly: "Oh, I have to tell Xixi about this nickname and let her laugh at you."
I was speechless and said: "Are you sure you are my biological sister? Have you ever cheated on your biological brother like this?"
Su Tongyuan was overjoyed and said: "Mom, aunt, what do you think? Am I prettier than Ningzi when I was a child?"
Following Su Tongyuan's questioning, I realized that I had arrived at the window seat at some point.
Fang Wenyan stood up with a smile and said, "You were more delicate than Ning Zi when you were a child. When you grow up, I think Ning Zi's facial features are more refined."
Su Tongyuan pouted and hummed, and said unhappily: "It's just a little whiter than when I was a child. Although he is a handsome boy, he can't be said to be very refined."
Fang Wenyan smiled and said nothing, turned her gaze and said: "If you don't agree with my point of view, then you can only ask eldest sister."
"She gave birth to you two siblings, and she has the most say."
"Ning Zi, sit down quickly and drink some water to moisten your throat."
Fang Wenyan warmly entertained me and said, "Auntie, it's just like at home. You can order whatever you want. Don't be polite."
I stood there without moving, my eyes falling on the familiar yet unfamiliar woman.
Memories were overlaid, and some important scenes from before I was seven years old emerged scattered.
What impressed me most was when she led Su Tongyuan out of the courtyard, and I was held by my grandma and stood under the eaves.
I cried loudly and clamored for my mother.
She ignored me, turned around indifferently, and never returned.
After I left, I never went back to Su's house or even looked at me.
Every time I think of this, my calm inner lake will stir up turbulent waves, making me breathless.
I can't figure it out, I can't understand why there are such cruel mothers in the world.
She was the one who gave birth to her, so why should she only want Su Tongyuan to not want me?
It wasn't until I came to Kyoto and learned about her agreement with Chen Xuanjun.
Although I understand, I still can't let go of the resentment I have held for so many years.
I hate that she loves vanity and is willing to live in the Chen family mansion for the sake of glory and wealth.
Being treated like a canary and being played with is extremely despicable.
Even if her own son arrived in Kyoto and was bullied to death by the Chen family, she would not dare to stand up and show her face.
What does this mean? Just make it clear that you have cut off all ties with me and the old Su family.
Since she can be so heartless, why should I recognize her according to Su Tongyuan's wishes?
But what I didn't expect was what she did later, Lingxi's earnest advice to me, and the oppression Jiuyang brought to me.
My hateful mentality changed subtly.
Until now, I am here.
Twelve years later, the woman I hated so much that I felt sick appeared not far away.
She looked at me at a loss and tried to stand up, then staggered down and sat down.
The hands are clenched and the fingers are intertwined.
The face that has been washed over the years does not seem to have changed much, and is still as beautiful as before.
Oh, no.
To be precise, compared to the country girl in Taoshan Village, she looks particularly noble now.
