Chapter 182 Invincible
Rong Minglang looked embarrassed, but he still said in a friendly manner, "Little sister, don't be angry. Mother said this for Yunhai's own good."
Rong Enqing looked at Rong Minglang with a fake smile and said, "For Yunhai's sake? Haha! For Yunhai's sake, you want to ruin his reputation, ruin his future, and make his marriage hopeless?
"For Yun Hai's own good, so he was morally blackmailed into handing over the 20,000 taels of silver? Do you know that the silver is almost half of his wealth!
"For Yunhai's sake, are you planning to adopt a bastard's abandoned child to seize Yunhai's property?
"Haha, for Yunhai? Do you believe this?"
Hearing Rong Enqing's blunt question, Rong Minglang's face became a little embarrassed, and he explained awkwardly: "Little sister, how can you miss mother so much? You miss the Rong family so much? Things are really not what you think. We are doing this because we are really considering Yunhai and Yunying!"
"Think about it, if Yunhai marries a second wife, will she treat Yunying as her own daughter? Will the son born by the second wife be able to wholeheartedly help her elder sister?
"But it's different for a child adopted into the Rong family! Xuming is Yunying's cousin, and after being adopted, he becomes her elder brother. With these two identities, they are naturally closer and he will treat Yunying more attentively.
"Little sister, think about it carefully, is this the case?"
Rong Enqing smiled and looked at Rong Minglang with a playful expression, "After adopting the illegitimate grandson, are you planning to further strengthen the relationship between the relatives and arrange another marriage between Yunying and your grandson Xu'an?
"Besides, Xu'an is a talented student, but my Yunying is disfigured and has an ear disease. You might even think that this marriage is a case of my Yunying marrying above her station.
"Brother, tell me, am I right?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Rong Minglang's face, obviously what Rong Enqing said was right.
Sure enough, Mrs. Rong continued, "What's wrong with this? Aren't you worried that Yunying's ears are injured and it will be difficult for her to find a husband in the future? Then let her marry Xu'an in the future, and strengthen the relationship between the relatives. This way, you won't have to worry about her getting wronged by marrying into a family you don't know about her background."
Old Madam Rong glanced at Yunying who was curled up in Yunhai's arms and snorted with disdain, "If it weren't for the fact that Yunying is Rongyuan's daughter, do you think we would agree to this marriage? Xu'an is very talented and has a bright future. On the other hand, what about Yunying? Don't you know the answer yourself?
"Humph, saying that Yunying is marrying above her station is absolutely true!"
Rong Enqing was extremely angry, but he was surprisingly calm.
She did not respond to Mrs. Rong, nor did she intend to argue with her. Instead, she looked at Yunhai calmly, "You heard what the Rong family said, right? What do you think?"
Yunhai's eyes were dark, his expression was distorted, and there was an anger between his brows that could not be suppressed.
Because of Xiao Rong's death, he was sad, upset, guilty, and self-blaming. When facing the Rong family, he naturally became a little weaker.
He wanted to make amends to the Rong family and make himself feel better. Therefore, whether the Rong family slandered him or wanted to seize the money, he had no objection.
Even if the Rong family wanted to adopt a child to him to inherit his property, he didn't care.
But! The Rong family should never, ever, set their sights on Yunying!
He clearly had his eyes on Yunying, but he still looked down on her! It was as if letting Yunying and Rong Jiaxu get engaged was such a great blessing!
Why should Yunying, whom he and his mother cherished like a treasure, be humiliated like this?
What on earth do they have the right to do so?
"Mother, I was wrong!" Yun Hai said in a hoarse voice, "I now understand what it means when a kind person is bullied! I take back my previous promise. Everything will be decided by mother!"
"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."
Rong Enqing smiled.
She had endured until now just to let Yunhai see the true faces of the Rong family, just to let Yunhai put away his ridiculous compensatory mentality!
It wasn't his fault that Xiao Rong died! Even the people in the Rong family who had forced Xiao Rong to death didn't feel the slightest bit of remorse, so why should he suffer?
Besides, even if Xiao Rongshi needs to be compensated, shouldn't Yunying be compensated? After all, Yunying is Xiao Rongshi's only daughter, and she is Xiao Rongshi's closest person!
Rong Minglang obviously realized that something was wrong, and his expression changed slightly, "Yunhai, what do you mean by that?" There was a hint of urgency and imperceptible panic in his tone.
Yun Hai did not reply. Rong Enqing continued, "I wonder if you have heard a word, brother?"
"What?" Rong Minglang was confused when he heard Rong Enqing's inexplicable question.
Rong Enqing smiled slightly and said, "If you have no shame, you will be invincible!"
As soon as these words came out, Rong Minglang's face flashed with surprise, and then he couldn't help but frowned: "What do you mean by this, little sister?"
Old Madam Rong stared at Rong Enqing with a gloomy look in her eyes and shouted angrily, "Who are you calling shameless? Who are you calling shameless?"
"Who am I scolding? Isn't it clear to Mrs. Rong?" Rong Enqing sneered, "You have been so deliberate in plotting against my son and my granddaughter, so can't I scold you for being shameless? Ha! There is no such logic in the world!"
"Who plotted against your son and your granddaughter? We are doing this for their own good! Don't spit blood on them!"
"Am I slandering you?" Rong Enqing sneered, "Then how about calling all the neighbors to judge? See if I am slandering you or not?"
“How dare you!” Old Madam Rong slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Rong Enqing angrily, and yelled, “Aren’t you ashamed? I am ashamed!”
"Are you afraid of being embarrassed? I don't think so." Rong Enqing exposed Mrs. Rong's lies with a smile, "You are afraid that the matter will become too big and affect Rong Minglang's future."
"You! You... you are unfilial! Rong Enqing, I am your biological mother! How dare you speak to me like this! You are so unfilial!" Old Madam Rong was furious. "I want to hand in a sign. I want to go to the palace to ask the Empress Dowager to judge for me. Is there anyone in the world who is a daughter like you? I want to see if you dare to speak to me like this in front of the Empress Dowager!"
"Wow! Why go to all that trouble? Wouldn't it be faster if you just went to the government office to sue me? Maybe they could convict me right away! Going to the palace to ask the Empress Dowager for justice is troublesome, and in the end, the Empress Dowager would just give me a few words of admonition. Do you think that's interesting?"
Rong Enqing spoke in a calm tone, but his words were full of sarcasm.
Finally, Rong Enqing added another stab: "Old Madam Rong, if you go to the Empress Dowager to accuse me of being unfilial, then the Empress Dowager will definitely ask me to go and defend myself. You say, if I say something nonsense in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor finds out, and your son loses his official position, then don't come to me!"
This is a threat! A naked threat!
"You, you..." Old Mrs. Rong was completely speechless this time. It was obvious that Rong Enqing had found her weakness, and she was unable to refute and was very angry!
