A daughter from a prominent family is desired by many, yet the daughter of the Yong family is sought by none. Noble families consider her nouveau riche and vulgar, while scholarly houses pride them...
"You're trying to kill me!" Even if she was weak and had no self-respect in front of this man, she understood what would happen to her if Sun Yun handed over the power of housekeeping right now!
"You forced me! You and your daughter forced me! You turned our perfectly good family upside down! How can I face my parents and brothers? How am I supposed to live my life?" Sun Binhuai completely disregarded Ma's injuries. In his agitation, he grabbed a large pillow from the bed and threw it at Ma. "This marriage must be settled. The groom's family will come tomorrow. You better deal with them properly."
"Who are you going to marry my daughter to?!" Madam Ma was hit hard, her wounds ached, and her face turned even paler. Large beads of sweat rolled down her skin, but she endured it without crying out. That's just how she is. She always suffers in silence and never fights back. She even has the ability to take the blame for her own grievances.
Sun Binhuai had completely lost his mind at this point, but he was afraid that Madam Ma would not cooperate. He didn't care at all whether the Sun family would marry or not. He only cared about when this rebellious daughter would hand over the power of managing the household. A daughter who was about to get married could no longer manage the household. The Sun family daughter had no reason to prepare her own dowry. "Liu family in Wutong Lane".
He mumbled a few words, and Madam Ma looked at him incredulously, "She is the legitimate daughter of the prestigious Sun family, and you actually want to marry her off to such a family!"
She had never heard of Wutong Lane, let alone the Liu family of Wutong Lane. She had lived in the capital for more than 20 years, and even though she rarely went out, she knew that no respectable family lived in Wutong Lane, and there was no such family as the Liu family of Wutong Lane among the noble families.
“If she returns the power of managing the household to her mother and goes to the ancestral hall to repent and beg for the ancestors’ forgiveness, the marriage can still be discussed.” At this point, Sun Binhuai had completely disregarded his gentlemanly image. He had come to coerce her from the beginning, but only now was he completely letting go.
Ma looked at him with sorrow, "How have you become like this? It's as if I've never known you before." The affection of the past seemed like a cruel villain, mocking her, "Look, your devoted husband is nothing but a joke."
She was grief-stricken, saddened, and heartbroken, her chest aching as if it were being torn apart.
Sun Binhuai avoided her eyes and didn't reply. Instead, he mocked, "You look down on the Liu family of Wutong Lane. Your Ma family is just a craftsman family. What right do you have to look down on the Liu family, who are known for their poetry and scholarship?"
"You look down on me, so you don't need me to give you a legitimate son? Those illegitimate sons are more noble than the legitimate sons I give birth to, right?!" This thing, which she had subconsciously chosen to forget, suddenly surged into her mind, and she burst into tears, crying until she was speechless.
"Can't you learn from your sister-in-law and brother's wife and be more virtuous? Don't bring up the past every time you argue with me!" Sun Binhuai took out a birth chart from his pocket and threw it in front of Madam Ma. "I've already had someone match the birth charts. That rebellious woman has a tough fate, and this person is just right to restrain her."
“Others look for a son-in-law because they’re afraid their daughter will be cursed, but you’re looking for a son-in-law because you’re afraid he won’t be able to curse her. How can you be so heartless!” Madam Ma picked up the betrothal letter and started tearing it violently. Sun Binhuai saw that she was about to tear the betrothal letter and rushed forward to snatch it away.
Ma was too weak and no match for him. Before she could even tear him apart, he snatched her away, and she fell off the bed, panting heavily.
Sun Yun, who had been standing outside the door and listening to the whole conversation, had tears streaming down her face. Her father had never been like this before; from that moment on, everyone had changed their demeanor.
Inside the house, Ma shouted, "I will not allow you to give my daughter away to anyone!" As soon as she finished speaking, she got up, grabbed a chair for support, lost her balance, and the chair crashed to the ground.
Sun Yun hurriedly pushed open the door and came in, only to see Madam Ma rushing towards the pillar opposite her, shouting, "Mother!"
