Chapter 81: Refutation!
"Even if nothing else, she still managed to get her own sister jilted. This is no trivial matter! How can such an outrageous thing go unpunished?" The old lady said with narrowed eyes as she looked at Liu Rong.
Liu Mei's eyes lit up with joy, but she immediately became even more severe: "Great Grandmother, this kind of thing can't be tolerated once or twice, it can't be indulged!"
Liu Rong sneered, suddenly interrupting Liu Ping's words: "Second sister's words are really funny. I'd like to know, how did I harm big sister and get her jilted? What did I do?"
Liu Rong asked Liu Ping sentence by sentence, if she continued to let Liu Ping and Tai Furen speak like this, she was afraid that she wouldn't say anything at all, and would be inexplicably convicted!
If it's about her previous experience as a substitute mother, the rumors spread and became distorted, causing Lu Yu's marriage to be called off, she admits that much. But these people's words are laced with hidden meanings, it's not just this one thing.
All the more...
"You said Eldest Sister was jilted, but didn't the Zhang family formally come to the Wen Ding Hou Fu today to break off the engagement?" Liu Rong asked everyone, it was just a casual question, but unexpectedly everyone was stunned.
Liu Rong suddenly felt ridiculous. Things were not yet confirmed, and a group of people had already gathered to criticize her. If they were criticizing her for helping with the delivery which led to the young lady from the Fu family being implicated, she would have nothing to say, and deep down, she also felt apologetic, because she hadn't realized that in ancient times, it was unacceptable for a maiden to help another woman give birth!
But in the end, it was just to punish her that they gathered here to study how to punish her!
Is she really going to continue staying in this kind of situation at the Houfu?
Liu Rong took a deep breath and looked at everyone, continuing to question: "The Zhang family has not yet come to break off the engagement, but you are all questioning me for unfounded, possibly non-existent reasons. Even if I am a concubine's daughter, I am still a daughter of the Wending Marquis' manor. Could it be that my bloodline is from someone else's family?"
Liu Rong swept her gaze across everyone's face, finally settling on Old Madam's: "Old Ancestress, what fault have I committed that you would speak of punishing me at every turn? Could it be that the Wen Ding Hou Fu can't even tolerate a small, insignificant concubine-born daughter like myself?"
"Are you going to force me to leave on my own initiative?" Liu Rong questioned sentence by sentence!
She heard the rumors outside and was the first to think of a solution to prevent it from implicating people in the mansion, but these people reacted in what way.
As usual, wanting to frame her again and again is nothing new, but this time she's also a victim! She's the victim, and these people didn't even ask about her well-being, instead they came out to kick her at the first opportunity!
Is this still home?
No wonder that twelve-year-old girl fell into the water. Without even a desire to survive, she left the world like this, letting her twenty-first-century soul be replaced by a peach!
Even she, a soul not born in this mansion, couldn't help but feel resentment and anger towards the girl who fell into the water!
These people actually still have the nerve to come and bother her like this!
Is there no shred of shame?
"Outside, because you helped someone give birth, rumors spread that you're not a clean person, and the reputation of all the girls in the manor was tarnished. Even I wanted to arrange a marriage for your Ninth Aunt, but it's been hindered everywhere because of your situation. And yet you still dare to question your elders like this!" The Old Madam stood up, pointing at Liu Rong in accusation!
"What about Aunt Zhong? Why haven't you brought her out yet? Teaching such a daughter, she should be sent to the Huang Jue Temple to suffer and be reborn in the world of the White Snake. The silver in the mansion is not enough to support someone who harms the Wen Ding Hou Mansion, let alone teaching a daughter to harm the Wen Ding Hou Mansion!"
Dead silence in the room!
Liu Rong sneered. It turned out that everything was because she had made it impossible for Madam Tai to find a satisfactory marriage for her beloved granddaughter!
This will drag her down, and even Zhong's family is involved, where is this a home, it's simply a den of jackals and tigers!
The madam looked at Liu Rong and then at Tai Furen, but in the end, she just let out a sigh.
It takes three feet of ice to form, not just a day's cold. The old lady, apart from loving Xuan'er, is actually resentful that the stepmother of the Zhong family had switched the wills and later framed the Zhong family for treason, causing the decline of the Wendinghou Mansion!
So they demoted Zhong's wife to a concubine, and even that was not enough. Liu Rong, who should have been the legitimate daughter, was also treated coldly, and even when she knew that this child had been pushed into the lotus pond by someone, she didn't ask or care!
Only when someone is needed to sacrifice for the Wen Dinghou Mansion did he remember.
It's been so long since the last generation's things happened, why make it difficult for a child!
Moreover, this child will probably be the most promising one in the Wen Ding Hou Mansion in the future. Just because the Seventh Imperial Grandson and the Wei Bei Hou Madame both took a liking to him, he can help the Wen Ding Hou Mansion maintain its position and gain many advantages!
Why can't Mrs. Tai understand it all along!
The madam couldn't help but look at the marquis, hoping he would step forward and say a few words. She saw the marquis lower his head, unable to discern the expression on his face, exactly like the day five years ago when Lady Zhong was deposed!
Just as Madame was at a loss and felt powerless, a voice rang out.
"We don't need to be raised in the Duke's mansion, we will leave the mansion ourselves, are you satisfied now, Madam?"
Liu Rong couldn't help but turn around, and saw that Zhong Yiniang had somehow appeared in the main hall, saying such words.
Liu Rong knew the most about Zhong Yiniang's thoughts. For Zhong Yiniang, this was a place of survival, a place that she had been entangled with for her whole life and did not want to leave.
The expression on Zhong Yiniang's face was still as calm and tranquil as usual, but only her tightly clenched hands and the slightly trembling sleeve could reveal her emotions.
"My daughter, you've done very well. It's me who hasn't been good as a mother, never fighting for anything for her." Zhong Yiniang said, beckoning to Liu Rong: "Rong'er, come, come to your mother's side."
Liu Rong walked up to Zhong Yiniang's side, but Zhong Yiniang stroked Liu Rong's hair: "Child, you've suffered."
Liu Rong's nose suddenly turned sour, and she shook her head fiercely at Zhong Yiniang.
"Do what you want to do, say what you want to say!" Zhong Yiniang looked at Liu Rong and nodded towards her.
Liu Rong nodded heavily and turned to look at Tai Furen: "Tai Furen, since the Wen Ding Hou Fu cannot accommodate me and my mother, we will leave the Wen Ding Hou Fu of our own accord. From now on, we will have nothing to do with the Wen Ding Hou Fu!"
Liu Rong said, supporting Zhong Yiniang as they were about to head out.
"How dare you! You say leave, just want to leave, what is the Wen Ding Hou Fu?!" However, it was seen that the son of the Wen Ding Hou Fu, who had scolded Liu Rong as soon as he came up and didn't say a word when Liu Rong was wronged, also Liu Rong's father, blocked their way.
"If it were me, I would definitely help Miss Liu San leave the Wending Hou Mansion now?" Suddenly, a clear voice rang out, and Liu Rong turned her head to see Dong Er leading Yong Cheng County's daughter into the main hall!

Throwing flowers! Today's final chapter is complete, and I'm rolling on the ground begging for pink tickets. If you give me pink tickets, I'll let the female lead severely abuse the people of Wen De Hou Fu!
