The two elders genuinely considered giving Song Ruier a chance.
After all, she was just a child. After Qiao Yunni left the Song family, the siblings' circumstances were vastly different. Perhaps because of this, Song Ruier's mentality became increasingly unbalanced and abnormal.
Moreover, since we've only heard about what happened, no matter how angry or disappointed we are, without seeing it with our own eyes or experiencing it firsthand, we'll always hold onto a little bit of hope.
However, he actually colluded with the person who wanted to harm his sister, and they became accomplices in evil deeds.
This event truly unfolded before their very eyes. The Qiao family of the capital wanted to seize Lian'er's merits. This struggle was incredibly thrilling and dangerous; one wrong move and the whole game would be lost.
Among those who fueled the flames and sought to kill Lian'er was her own sister, Song Rui'er.
He showed no regard for kinship with his sister, treating her more cruelly than an enemy, and even wanted to kill her as soon as possible.
It's hilarious, absolutely hilarious, yet so tragic, so tragic.
The little bit of warmth the two elders had prepared in their hearts was frozen in ice, and the chance they wanted to give was shattered into pieces.
Old Master Chu's face was darker and more so than the night, as if ink were about to drip from it.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Song Ruier was filled with intense hatred.
"Grandpa—" Song Ruier called out nervously.
"It's all fake, my sister is talking nonsense, she's slandering me—"
"Slap!" Before he could finish speaking, he received a solid slap across the face, which made him stagger and fall to the ground.
Old Master Chu stood to the side, looking down at him as if he were looking at something unbearable.
“You beast, how could you do such a thing? You have half the blood of the Chu family in your veins, you are a disgrace to the family. How could your mother, such a kind and gentle person, give birth to such a bastard like you? You even resent your sister, but you are destined to never be as good as her.”
Song Ruier lay on the ground, covering her bleeding mouth, and raised her eyes to glare fiercely at Qiao Lian'er.
She could forgive him for not helping him before, but now that he has a new opportunity in life, she wants to ruin him.
Qiao Lian'er spread her hands, looking completely innocent: "Rui'er, you can't blame me for this. You heard me just now, I was trying to put in a good word for you."
Song Ruier felt a surge of nausea and almost vomited blood. The overwhelming frustration left her feeling weak all over and unable to even get up.
He then looked at Old Madam Chu, unwilling to let it end there: "Grandma, my sister and I don't get along, but I'm truly devoted to you two. How could I possibly harm you? Rui'er will be there to take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die. If you abandon Rui'er, who will take care of you after you pass away?"
Old Madam Chu snorted: "You overestimate yourself. It's nothing more than burning paper money at a funeral and breaking a broken pot. What law says that only you can do it, but Lian'er can't?"
“My Lian’er is now a county magistrate and the King of Xiang is in charge of pacifying the people. Bringing these petty matters to her is simply an insult to her.”
Moreover, Madam Chu believed that when a person dies, it's like a lamp going out, and everything returns to darkness. If you're alive, live well; if you die, it's no longer "life." Why worry about that day all the time?
Judging from Old Master Chu's attitude, he also agrees with Old Madam Chu's statement.
Fear was evident in Song Ruier's eyes. The two elders of the Chu family did not care about this. They were not afraid of the two sticking to tradition, and even hoped that they would adhere to those ideas to the death.
He feared that if the two were open-minded, he would lose his chance.
Future, prospects—
Thinking of all this, Song Ruier felt as if she were in an ice cave, and her whole body trembled.
The two have now decided that nothing he says will make a difference.
Only by showing an attitude of admitting mistakes might we be able to make a gamble.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Rui'er was wrong. Rui'er was momentarily blinded by evil spirits. I promise I won't do it again. I will get along well with my sister and be a good son to you. Rui'er is still young and went astray for a moment. Please don't give up on Rui'er, okay?"
He pleaded, his face streaked with tears, utterly heartbroken.
