"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, I can see and distinguish for myself. I don't need you to remind me," the old lady said, coughing a few times.
Rong Qingqing quickly patted her back, "Grandmother, you've only been awake for a short time, don't rush to speak, you should rest first."
Madam Rong closed her eyes to rest as instructed.
Upon seeing this, Chen's eyes flickered.
So what if this old woman wakes up? The poison is still there. She's already stepped into her coffin. No matter how fierce she is, her power won't last long.
Thinking it over, she knelt there meekly, no longer uttering a sound.
Just then, Rong Shiqing, who had just returned to the mansion, received news that his mother had woken up and rushed to Deshou Hall.
When she saw Chen kneeling on the ground with a wronged expression, just as she was about to say something, Old Madam Rong suddenly opened her eyes and looked over.
Rong Shiqing's heart tightened. He couldn't care less about Madam Chen anymore and hurriedly stepped forward, saying happily, "Mother has finally woken up. Your son was so worried about you."
Seeing that his concern seemed genuine, Madam Rong sighed and said, "I thought you despised this old woman and wished I were dead."
Rong Shiqing's face paled, and he quickly put on a forced smile, "Mother, you're really hurting my feelings. How could I possibly have such a heartless thought?"
"If you weren't heartless, how dare you collude with that vile woman Chen to harm my granddaughter and push her into a pit of fire?" Old Madam Rong was furious. She grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. "What a cruel heart you have! Even tigers don't eat their cubs, but you're determined to drive your own daughter to her death. What kind of father are you? What sins have I committed to give birth to such a wicked child!"
Rong Shiqing was unable to dodge in time and was hit squarely.
This pillow is made of porcelain; if it hits you, it will still hurt.
Rong Shiqing, a civil official, was hit like that, and his face immediately changed color with pain. He said angrily, "Mother, how could you wrong me like this..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
Only then did he notice Rong Qingqing standing by the bed.
Upon seeing his daughter, he was genuinely stunned for a moment. After realizing what was happening, he pointed at her nose and scolded, "I knew my mother wouldn't wrong me! Was it you, you brat, who was gossiping and spreading rumors about me in front of her?"
Rong Qingqing had been scrutinizing Rong Shiqing ever since he entered.
Rong Shiqing was indeed handsome, and when he wasn't speaking, he gave off a refined and cultured impression.
Just now, in front of the old lady, he was so respectful, he looked exactly like a filial son, but once he opened his mouth, his true nature was exposed.
What kind of person would push their own daughter into a fire pit for the sake of profit?
She felt it wasn't worth it for the original owner to have such a worthless father.
"Why would Father think that I was gossiping and spreading rumors in front of Grandmother? Father, do you dare to say that everything you have done is in accordance with your conscience?" Rong Qingqing sneered inwardly, but her words, though unwavering, were sharp and to the point.
Rong Shiqing paused, ultimately feeling guilty, and after being so provoked, he couldn't speak for a long time.
Only then did he suddenly realize that his daughter, who had always been timid, cowardly, and useless, seemed to have changed in some way.
In the past, she would never have dared to talk back to him like this.
But now, she not only dares to look him in the eye, but also dares to talk back to him.
But ironically, it was he who personally sent her to the fiery pit of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion.
Even though he was angry, he was speechless for a moment.
