He reached out, trying to hug Old Madam Chu's leg, but Old Madam Chu kicked him away without any mercy.
Old Madam Chu took two steps back, her face as cold as ice.
"From what you've done, we know you're beyond redemption. Any talk of correcting yourself or getting better is just a temporary measure. If we, your parents, continue to treat you the way we used to, every act of kindness we show you will only become a knife that will later pierce your heart."
"Since you are so heartless and ungrateful, grandson, one of us is enough."
Old Master Chu said coldly, "The truth is out. Since you were being hunted down by those people because you wanted to harm your sister, the Chu family will not protect you. Go away and pray for your own good fortune."
He then ordered his men, "Remove all those guards."
Song Ruier was about to plead when two servants lifted her up from either side, like carrying a chick, and carried her out of the alley.
The thought that his life might be ruined in these two days made his face as white as snow, and his body limp, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
He was about to die, but Qiao Lian'er was riding high.
This fact caused Song Ruier's resentment and injustice to surge and crash like waves.
His heart was shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his mouth filled with a strong metallic smell. He glared at Qiao Lian'er with hatred, intending to utter a few harsh words, but then he saw Old Madam Chu gently embracing Qiao Lian'er as they entered the courtyard.
This scene was so harmonious and peaceful.
Song Ruier's heart was once again struck a heavy blow, her eyelids rolled back, and she fainted.
"Lian'er, let Grandma see what marks have appeared on your body."
Old Madam Chu led Qiao Lian'er to her room.
Of all those words just now, she remembered this one most clearly.
"Grandma, it's all better now, it's nothing serious," Qiao Lian'er said.
"No, Grandma must see it." Old Madam Chu was adamant about this.
Qiao Lian'er rolled up her trouser leg, revealing a burn mark on her left knee.
Old Madam Chu took a deep breath, gently stroking the area, her eyes filled with heartache.
"My poor sickle, you've had to hurt yourself like this to get through this crisis."
“Those people are truly despicable. I hope they will all be punished when they return to the capital.”
It must have been very painful to have this thing left on my left leg.
"Grandma, for me, it was worth it to exchange a scar for this victory and this identity."
"If you want to protect the good things in this world, you have to make some sacrifices."
You can't expect others not to harm you; as long as you have value, it's hard to avoid it.
You have to earn it and keep it.
Old Madam Chu sighed softly, then simply hugged Lian'er without saying a word.
A figure stood outside, with his back to the window frame.
Chu Yanmao slowly clenched his fingers into a fist.
To protect his granddaughter and for the sake of his family, he had to keep climbing the ladder.
Song Ruier was thrown into the inn. When he woke up after being unconscious for a while, it was already dark outside.
"Is the person inside?" Footsteps sounded outside, startling him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
