Chapter 149 Lili Qiuhong's Choice
The old lady's eyes were shrewd. "Qiuhong, it's not easy for the Li family to raise you to this age. It's really cruel of you to just leave like this. If you leave the Li family today, do you think the court can tolerate an official like you?"
As she spoke, the old lady looked at Rong Xin again: "Rong Xin, are you going to ruin your son's future?"
Rongxin hesitated when she thought about Qiuhong's future. Qiuhong was born a concubine's son, and his son might never make a name for himself. Now that he had become an official, how could she let her son become her concubine and be disowned by the court?
Seeing that Rongxin's attitude softened, the old lady knew that Rongxin had listened to her words.
In this world, is there any parent who doesn't consider his son?
Su Chenyu and Li Li Yanqing looked at the scene in front of them. They said nothing. They could not interfere in this matter because it was Li Li Qiuhong and Rong Xin's own choice.
In Dayu, if a concubine asks to leave the mansion, her life will be miserable. The children born to the concubine will lose face.
Rong Xin just said she wanted to leave the mansion in a hurry, and even wanted to take Qiu Hong with her. But she forgot what would happen to Qiu Hong after she followed her.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and Rong Xin wanted to say that she didn't want to die anymore.
Just as she opened her mouth, Lili Qiuhong stopped her and said, "Madam, I will resign from my post to the Emperor tomorrow morning."
"Are you crazy?"
"Qiu Hong!"
The old lady and Rong Xin's voices sounded almost at the same time. The old lady stood up from her chair anxiously: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I have never been more clear-headed than now." Lili Qiuhong said, "Official position is something you care about, I don't care. If you let my mother continue to suffer in Lili Mansion for this official position, then I, as a son, would be unfilial."
The old lady pointed at Li Qiuhong and was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"Qiu Hong, it wasn't easy for you to become an official..."
Lili Qiuhong interrupted Rongxin and said, "Mother, will you disown me and be disappointed in me just because I am not a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy?"
Rong Xin shook her head: "How could that be? You will always be my son, I just hope you can be filial to me."
"Mom, I have thought it through very clearly. I don't need to be an official in my lifetime. As long as we can leave Lili Mansion, we will be able to live a stable and peaceful life in the future."
Just now, he had thought about it. At worst, he and Rongxin would go away from the capital and find a small place, where he could be a teacher and support Rongxin.
In the future, perhaps I won't be as wealthy as I was in the past, but at least I will live comfortably without so much intrigue.
Listening to their conversation, the old lady was so angry that she fainted. Li Liting stepped forward to support the old lady and said, "Rongxin, Qiuhong, look, your mother has been so angry with you. Do you still want to go your own way?"
Lili Qiuhong looked at the unconscious old lady and replied calmly: "Father, she is your mother. In our hearts, she is just the old lady. She has never truly treated us as her juniors and loved us. Naturally, we will not truly respect and love her. You love your mother, and I love mine too!"
After saying this, Li Qiuhong pulled Rong Xin out.
"Tai!" Li Ting was also very angry, "From now on, you have nothing to do with the Li family."
Hearing these words, Li Li Qiuhong didn't hesitate at all.
Su Chenyu looked at the mess in the room without saying anything, and rushed out with Li Li Yanqing.
