Dong Yunzhu's face was extremely pale, and she couldn't help but say, "So... Father knew perfectly well that the Hua family sent people to the Zhuwu Kingdom to invite Jin Wenqing to use Gu poison to harm my grandmother and me?"
Upon hearing this, Dong Ming glared at her fiercely: "Shut up!"
Dong Yunzhu stared at her for a moment before saying, "Does Father know that Hua Shi had Jin Wenqing poison my mother with Gu poison? Father knows, right? The princess said that after a Gu master poisons someone, he cannot be too far away from the person who has been poisoned, otherwise it will be difficult to control the offspring Gu. So... after Jin Wenqing poisoned my mother with Gu poison, he stayed in our mansion, right?"
Dong Ming was taken aback upon hearing this, and after a long while, he said, "You may leave. I can pretend that what happened today never happened, and I will follow your grandmother's wishes and marry you off to a distant place in Jiangnan!"
"Husband!" Madam Hua protested, gripping Dong Ming's arm tightly and saying in a trembling voice, "Are you still thinking about that wretched woman who's been dead for over a decade? You just promised me you'd send that damned girl to the family temple to cultivate; you absolutely cannot break your promise!"
“Madam, I…” Dong Ming tried to explain.
“I don’t want to hear it. It’s clear that we met first and fell in love. If Yao Yanshu hadn’t interfered and taken you away, I would have been the one to marry you and become your first wife, not her.”
Hua was both angry and anxious, and couldn't help but punch Dong Ming twice in the chest: "You promised me that you would always obey me and go along with me. This little bitch has humiliated me like this. If you don't send her to the family temple to become a nun, I will kill myself!"
"Father!" The eldest son, Dong Qiyu, rushed forward to support Madam Hua and said urgently, "Please grant Mother's request. She's just a daughter, and she's so unfilial to my mother. It's good to send her to the family temple to practice Buddhism. Anyway, you still have your sons and two older sisters to take care of you. Over the years... my third sister has always disobeyed Father and bullied Mother. She should have been sent away long ago!"
“Yes, Father, Third Sister just said that we are not your biological children. Her heart is despicable!” Second Young Master Dong Qisheng also stepped forward and said.
"Alright, alright, Father understands. Quickly try to comfort your mother and tell her not to be sad!" Dong Ming nodded hurriedly.
Dong Yunzhu, standing to the side, had a cold expression on her face.
She now really wants to burn down the Dong family's house and die together with these heartless people.
But when she thought of her loving grandmother, she clenched her fists and dismissed the idea.
She had previously forced Jin Wenqing to remove the poison from her and her grandmother's bodies, and had also secretly sent her grandmother out of the mansion.
My grandmother is still very weak and needs my care.
She still has to take care of her grandmother in her old age and see her off when she dies; she can't go to hell with these bastards.
They don't deserve to risk their lives for revenge!
"Men, seize the Third Miss and send her to the family temple!" Dong Ming ordered coldly.
The servant standing outside rushed in to arrest the person, but was so frightened by Dong Yunzhu's cold gaze that he took two steps back and dared not step forward.
"I just want to ask Father one question: Was it really my mother who broke you two up in the first place?"
Dong Ming was slightly taken aback after hearing her words. Just as he was about to say something, Hua's voice came from beside him.
"That's right, it's your mother Yao Yanshu who's shameless. She forcibly separated us and married my husband, almost ruining my life. That's why I hate you and your daughter. I'd rather be good to those two concubine's daughters in the manor than give you a second glance. If you want to live, get out of here, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
“Father, Grandmother said that you and Mother were betrothed when you were young. Mother is Grandmother’s niece. Grandmother often sent people to invite Mother to stay at our house. Father and Mother grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and later... they got married smoothly. I believe Grandmother would not lie. It was you, Father, who was bewitched by this woman and conspired with her to poison my mother, causing her death, and then married this woman. Is that right?”
“If it weren’t for my grandmother protecting me all these years, I would have died countless times. My grandmother wanted me to leave the capital and marry far away in Jiangnan, away from the troubles of the mansion, so I could live a good life. But Madam Hua was eyeing the money and shops in my grandmother’s hands and didn’t want me to take them with me as my dowry. So she resorted to her old tricks and had Jin Wenqing poison us, my grandmother and grandson…”
Dong Yunzhu laughed as she spoke: "Father can be indifferent to my mother and me. Even if my mother and I die many times, Father won't care. But what about Grandmother? She is the one who gave birth to Father. If this woman wants to kill Grandmother, will Father not pursue the matter? Or... is this what Father wants as well?"
Dong Yunzhu really couldn't understand how Dong Ming could be so cruel.
“When my husband and I first met, we fell in love. He then proposed to break off his engagement with your mother and marry me. However, the old lady tried her best to stop it and forced your father to marry your mother, thus separating us. The old lady only cared about you and your mother. She never cared about my husband.”
Hua's eyes were filled with hatred: "For the past ten years or so, she has not cared about her three grandchildren, only knowing how to protect you. She has so much dowry and so much private property. If she could give it to her three grandchildren, I would not care. But she gave it all to you. Has she ever thought about her husband? Has she ever thought about our Dong family?"
“That was originally my grandmother’s dowry and private property. She could give it to whomever she wanted, and it was none of anyone else’s business. You were the ones who wanted to take it all, and yet you’re blaming your grandmother.”
“You three sons… have you ever been filial to your grandmother? Ever since Father married you, he has become more and more disrespectful to her, and he has even stopped paying his respects to her morning and evening. When Grandmother was sick, I was the only one by her side. You ignored her and instead tried to seize her private property and money. You are worse than animals!”
"Guards, drag her out, gag her, and send her to the ancestral temple immediately!" Dong Ming shouted, as if his daughter had touched a nerve.
Upon hearing this, the servants gritted their teeth and reached out to push Dong Yunzhu to the ground.
Of course, Dong Yunzhu wasn't going to surrender without a fight, so she kicked all four of them away with a single kick.
The poison in her body had been neutralized, and she no longer felt chest pain whenever she used her internal energy, unlike before.
He kicks people accurately and ruthlessly.
Dong Ming was stunned.
His wife had told him before that their daughter was secretly practicing martial arts and was very skilled, but he hadn't quite believed her. Now he was genuinely a little frightened.
Hua grabbed his sleeve, her face full of reproach: "I told you long ago that this brat knows martial arts. I told you to call more guards over, otherwise we wouldn't be able to subdue her. What good are a few servants you called?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the guards who were supposed to be in the front yard rushed in.
Seven or eight guards surrounded Dong Yunzhu.
"Take her down, tie her up, gag her, and send her to the ancestral temple!" Dong Ming shouted.
