Bai Shao had just stepped into the courtyard when she bumped into Rong Shiqing, who was coming in from outside.
"Master, the old lady is looking for you." She knelt down and bowed to him respectfully.
"I understand." Rong Shiqing nodded and stepped into Madam Rong's room.
He came here after hearing that Rong Qingqing had left.
When Rong Qingqing was there, he could tell that his mother had something to ask him, but because Rong Qingqing was there, he didn't ask.
He actually knew what his mother was going to ask.
However, he did not expect that Chen would tell Yiyi that Rong Qingqing was not his child, and now she had even told his mother.
Now, his mother wants an explanation from him.
When he entered, Madam Rong was leaning against a pillow, and seemed to be in good spirits.
"Did Mother want to see me about something?" Rong Shiqing asked knowingly.
Madam Rong glanced at him, then suddenly sighed, "Sit down."
Rong Shiqing sat down, and Bai Shao immediately brought him a cup of tea.
Rong Shiqing held the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and seeing that she didn't speak, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Although they were mother and son, Madam Rong had always been strict with her son. In addition, he had ignored all advice and taken Chen as his concubine, which created a rift between them.
The mother and son rarely sit down and have a calm conversation.
"Does Mother want to ask about Qingqing's biological father?" After a long silence, Rong Shiqing broke the silence first.
"I already know about this," said Madam Rong.
"Then what does Mother want to ask her son?" Rong Shiqing asked.
"Back then, before you married Lan, did you already know she was pregnant?" Old Madam Rong suddenly asked.
Rong Shiqing hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Yes."
"Since you knew she was pregnant, you still insisted on marrying her, which shows that you liked her very much. So why did you treat Qingqing badly after she passed away?" Old Madam Rong frowned.
Rong Shiqing said with a somber expression, "At first I thought I could win her heart, but later I found that no matter what I did, she remained unmoved, so I..."
"So you were confused for a moment and touched her maid?" Old Madam Rong said with some hidden anger.
Rong Shiqing was a little embarrassed. "At that time, I just wanted to make her angry, but I didn't expect it to be useless. She wasn't angry at all."
"Not necessarily," said Madam Rong. "If you treat her the same way, she might put aside all her feelings and live a good life with you. But you married her and didn't know how to cherish her, and even blamed her for being cold to you. That's your fault."
Upon hearing this, Rong Shiqing looked somewhat dejected and remained silent, not uttering another word.
Madam Rong was both furious at his heartlessness and resentful that he had such poor judgment in marrying a woman like Chen.
But no matter how angry she was at his lack of ambition, he was still her son.
“After a while, I will have someone help find a suitable person to be your second wife. All those messy things between you and Chen will be cut off. I don’t want you to bring her back.”
Upon hearing this, Rong Shiqing frowned. "Mother, I'm not in the mood right now..."
"It's understandable that he's not interested; the Rong family needs to have an heir to carry on the family line. This matter is settled then. You don't need to worry about it; I will take care of it," said Old Madam Rong. Originally, she didn't want to get involved in her son's affairs, but if she didn't, she feared that Chen would try to seduce her son and bring him back to the Rong family.
She knew Chen's personality well.
Even though she was divorced from the Rong family, how could she accept it?
"I will follow my mother's arrangements in everything," Rong Shiqing said helplessly in the end.
