Chapter 154: You want to control me? You are blind
In Yu's view, Yu Shengsheng's decisiveness was aggressive.
She refused to accept.
Mingming had been very polite to her when they were in the countryside earlier, but he never smiled or spoke when they met.
Although she looked down on the food she got every time, her attitude was always good.
It's not like it is now.
Yu curled her lips and said, "Since you have this attitude, I will say it directly. Shengsheng, don't think that just because we had some friendship with my son in the countryside before, we can cover up for you and confuse right and wrong."
"My son is the new top scholar. He will speak for the people and make decisions for them in the future. How could he lie with his eyes open?"
"It's even more impossible for me to do so. I felt sorry for you before, but now, you have entered the Su family under someone else's name. Instead of being a good person and being grateful, you have even disturbed the family. I cannot tolerate this."
The Su family was in an uproar.
Madam Su wanted to hold her back, but couldn't bring herself to do it. She asked anxiously, "What do you mean by impersonating someone else?"
"What else could it mean? She was originally that woman, her adoptive mother, who picked her up. Who knows whose child she is? I saw her when she was picked up. She couldn't speak until she was three years old. I thought she was dumb."
"Her arms are so thin and she's very short. Clothes that are too small for my Mu Bai look like a robe to her. Unlike our Mu Bai, she has long legs and broad shoulders since she was a child..."
When Yu said this, she covered her mouth and laughed.
Yu Shengsheng stood in front of her, her face calm and her eyes expressionless.
Qi Mubai clenched his fingers silently, suppressing the shame.
"Mother."
Yu looked at him, cleared her throat, and suppressed her smile: "Her adoptive mother always said that when she grows up, she will be used to exchange for the betrothal money. Anyway, daughters are just money-losing goods, there is no need to raise them well."
"She's right. Girls always have to get married. It's not surprising that they are not valued when they are born." Yu looked at Su Zhiyi, "It's obvious that the princess is blessed. She will definitely give birth to a big fat son in the future."
Su Zhiyi: “…”
Su Yanshu couldn't help but retort angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Zhiyi hasn't even married yet."
"It's going to happen sooner or later," Yu covered her mouth and laughed, "Why are you shy? I'm here this time, why not choose a good day early..."
Qi Mubai couldn't stand it any longer: "Mother, stop talking."
Yu looked back at him with a doting look on her face: "You are shy, you are too embarrassed to say these words, mother has to say them for you, mother loves you the most in this world."
Yu Shengsheng looked at the smug look of Yu Shi and found it hard to reconcile him with the crying, sad and resentful woman in her impression.
Perhaps it was her nature that had been suppressed for so many years that, after her son became the top scholar, she couldn't help but break out of her shell, growing wildly and expanding.
Madam Su was not interested in anything else and asked anxiously, "What about my daughter? The daughter that was exchanged by that woman?"
Yu said without hesitation: "Maybe he is dead? I heard from the old woman that one seemed to be thrown away."
"What?" Madam Su's face turned pale. She took a step back and almost fainted.
Yu gave Yu Shengsheng a look and said, "It can't be her after all."
Everyone's eyes fell on Yu Shengsheng.
The clan leader snorted coldly: "Huaiyuan, did you hear that? Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise, our Su family's ancestral hall would have been defiled by this person of unknown origin!"
The second uncle was full of disdain: "People like her should be thrown out and cut off from all ties forever!"
Yu Shengsheng sighed inwardly. If Grandma Wu was still alive, severing the relationship would have been what she wanted. But now, it doesn’t matter whether they have a relationship or not. Grandma Wu’s revenge must be avenged.
Qi Mubai's throat rolled slightly, and his tone was sincere: "Shengsheng, I know it's not easy for you to get to where you are today, but... this is the fact, we can't go against our conscience..."
Yu Shengsheng raised her eyelids slightly and said in a playful tone: "Conscience? You don't have such a thing at all, why are you bringing it up?"
Her eyes swept over the mother and son, a slight smile on her lips.
"I was picked up and couldn't speak until I was three? But you said before that I learned to curse like my adoptive mother when I was two years old."
"You pity me? Between you and me, who is more pitiful? Although I am often beaten, at least I am free. What about you? You are a concubine of the Qi family, not presentable. You used to be a singer. Madam Qi keeps a close eye on you. Qi Mubai lives in the countryside. You can't come here more than three times in half a year. You don't even have enough time to see your son. How can you have time to watch me grow up?"
"That light red dress of yours is the only thing you can show off, right? The lining is all patched up, and two of the patches were donated by me. What's wrong? You've changed into a brocade dress, and you've forgotten about it?"
"Your son is pleading for the people, so he can't lie with his eyes open. So what are you doing now? Don't forget, you and your son are not the only ones in the village, and you are not from our village either."
Yu Shengsheng looked at Su Huaiyuan: "It was the Su family who sent people to pick me up. I didn't come here on my own. They kept saying that I was their own flesh and blood, but now they want to overturn that claim based on a woman's words. Has the Su family always been so frivolous?"
"If you say I'm not, show me solid evidence. Do you have it?"
Yu choked: "You..."
"What?" Yu Shengsheng looked extremely contemptuous. "People are unreliable, no matter what clothes they wear, they are still unreliable."
"How can an ungrateful person like you be qualified to talk about righteousness to others? What a joke."
Qi Mubai's face flushed: "Shengsheng, how could you..."
"You and your son can do such a thing, so why can't I say anything?" Yu Shengsheng stared at him, "Qi Mubai, I was blind to fall in love with you in the first place. Now you think you can control me with just a few words, you are blind."
Yu pointed at her: "You..."
Yu Shengsheng shouted angrily: "This princess was personally conferred by the emperor. You are the mother of a top scholar who has not been appointed to an official position. You did not show courtesy to this princess and even spoke rudely to her. If you really have the guts, then let's go to Jingzhao Prefecture together!"
"Do you dare?"
Although Yu was trembling now, deep down she was afraid of seeing officials. She didn't even dare to see the county magistrate, let alone the Jingzhao Prefecture.
She took two steps back, not daring to say anything more.
Yu Shengsheng sneered.
She looked at the three clan leaders and said, "Are there any other witnesses? Please come out together to save the trouble of each one."
The clan leader looked embarrassed. He had thought that it would be an easy task to capture the girl, but he had not expected that such a small girl could be so difficult to deal with.
“Of course,” the patriarch jabbed his cane with both hands.
"Please bring the people up."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man walked in slowly with a slightly hunched back.
He was thin, with sparse gray hair, a few wisps of beard, and a pair of eyes that rolled around.
Like a rat spirit in human form.
Yu Shengsheng recognized him at a glance.
