Looking at Fu Hengjing's ferocious expression, Shen Yuerong felt even colder in her heart.
Even though she had known for a long time that the Fu family only wanted to use her, she still couldn't help feeling sad when her three years of hard work were wasted.
"What are you daydreaming about!" Fu Hengjing became even more furious when he saw that she didn't say anything. "Did you hear me when I told you to give me the money? If you dare to affect my studies, I'll let my brother divorce you!"
Studies?
Shen Yuerong sneered in her heart, but put on a helpless look on her face, and said: "Heng Jing, have you really been studying in the academy in the past few years?"
Fu Hengjing's face froze, and then he said angrily: "I am doing something that you, an outsider, cannot comment on!"
"outsider?"
Shen Yuerong was stunned for a moment, tears immediately covered her eyes, and she said aggrievedly: "I have worked hard in the General's Mansion for three years, and I am just an outsider?"
"Well, if that's the case, then Young Master Fu should go ask his family for money."
"Qinghua, send Young Master Fu out."
Qinghua stepped forward and said, "Young Master Fu, this is an outsider's house, please leave."
"Chen Yuerong, you're chasing me away?! This is the general's mansion, what right do you have to chase me away!" Fu Hengjing was shocked.
Shen Yuerong was too lazy to waste time talking to him and signaled Qinghua to get rid of him quickly.
Qinghua nodded, waved to a few maids, and "invited" Fu Hengjing to leave.
The gate closed, shutting out Fu Hengjing's angry curses.
Qinghua turned around happily and pushed Shen Yuerong back into the house.
"Miss, it feels so good." Qinghua lowered her voice, but her joy could not be concealed.
In the past, these people all bullied the young lady and acted arrogantly. Now, the young lady has finally stood up for once, and she feels refreshed.
But……
The smile on Qinghua's face faded, and worry covered her brows. She looked at Shen Yuerong and said, "Second Master Fu will not give up. What if General Fu talks to the old lady? What will happen?"
Shen Yuerong knew that Qinghua was worried about her.
She took Qinghua's hand and said, "Don't be afraid."
The Fu family still needs her, and they won't fall out easily.
At most, it would force her to compromise.
If it were in the past, she would have no objection.
But now...
Shen Yuerong raised her hand and pressed it to her chest, her heart aching so much that it was bleeding.
Less than a cup of tea after Fu Hengjing left, the old lady arrived.
His wrinkled face showed anger, yet he had to put on a look of extreme disappointment.
When Shen Yuerong saw her, she let Qinghua push her forward to greet her: "Mother."
The old lady stood at the door, looked at her for a long time, and then sighed heavily.
"Rong'er, what's wrong with you?"
She sighed again, then stepped inside, sat down in the room, and advised earnestly: "You have always been very reasonable, and you are the sister-in-law. Even if your brother-in-law has made some mistakes, you can just give him a few words of advice. How can you stop him from paying his tuition?"
"If this gets out, won't people say you're being harsh on your brother-in-law?"
Shen Yuerong listened quietly, taking in every word of the old lady's extremely biased words.
The more she listened, the sadder Shen Yuerong felt.
This is what the old lady taught her in the past, telling her to be courteous to her brother-in-law and to cherish her sister-in-law.
But in the end, they raised two ungrateful people.
She serves the man in front of her every day, but still cannot get any sincerity from him, only implicit accusations.
It's a pity that she can't listen to these words now.
I won’t blame myself for it.
After the old lady finished speaking, Shen Yuerong sighed helplessly: "Mother, it's not that I treat my brother-in-law harshly, but that he doesn't recognize me. Although I married into the Fu family and was called 'sister-in-law' by my brother-in-law, he never really regarded me as his sister-in-law. He even said that I was an outsider and asked Hengyu to divorce me."
At this point, Shen Yuerong choked twice, turned her head and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
Turning back, she continued with tears in her eyes: "I am disabled and cannot serve as the heir of the Fu family. Now Hengyu has a child, even if he wants to divorce me, I will accept it."
"Mother, just let Hengyu divorce me, and I won't have to suffer this anger here."
Shen Yuerong struggled to stand up, and knelt down in front of the old lady with a plop, grabbing the old lady's hand and begging.
The old lady's face froze, and she suddenly couldn't finish the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Shen Yuerong is of noble status and easy to manipulate.
She also heard Hengyu say that the royal family still favored her.
How could she let such a daughter-in-law leave?
The old lady quickly helped Shen Yuerong up.
"Alright, alright, Hengjing was wrong in this matter, so don't be angry. I know you are magnanimous, so just teach him a lesson. But you still have to go to this school. If Hengjing can gain a good reputation in the future imperial examination, it will also be your credit, right?"
Shen Yuerong felt cold in her heart again when she heard this.
She originally thought that if she asked for a divorce, the old lady would at least take it into consideration.
Who knew the other party would be so indifferent.
Shen Yuerong smiled bitterly, lowered her head and said sadly: "So mother is like Heng Jing, thinking I am an outsider?"
"How can you say that?" The old lady frowned.
Just as she was about to say something else, she saw Shen Yuerong suddenly lower her head, her face full of tears: "So I was wronged, and mother is unwilling to make the decision for me?"
The old lady choked.
In her opinion, since Shen Yuerong is marrying into the Fu family, she should put the Fu family first.
It is appropriate to endure some personal grievances.
But Shen Yuerong brought the matter to light.
If she didn't give an answer, she would give people a chance to criticize her.
