In Er Niang's yard.
“Bang!”
Er Niang slammed the table with a cold face and demanded angrily, "Qiu Wu, tell me what happened between you and your son-in-law on your wedding night!"
Li Nian was slightly surprised. She had actually forgotten how harsh and difficult the original owner's mother was.
Thinking of the teachings of Er Niang in the original owner's memory, Li Nian felt suffocated and unacceptable.
"For all these years, mother has worked so hard to teach you how to seduce men, and how have you ever repaid me? I tried every possible means to marry her, but you couldn't even keep her on your wedding night. How dare you come back today?"
"It's such a shame!"
Er Niang became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she threw the teacup at Li Nian.
Although he had dodged to the side, some of the hot tea in the teacup still splashed onto Li Nian's neck and ears.
A burning pain came, and Li Nian's breathing suddenly tightened. The sourness in his heart couldn't help but surge out.
Before coming here, she still had some fantasies of affection towards the original owner's mother. Now, that little bit of warm expectation has gradually cooled down and returned to darkness again.
"My mother taught Qiu Wu all those seductive skills since she was little, saying it was for her own good. Only by seducing a man can a woman reach a higher level and enjoy wealth and glory. But have you ever thought about whether you will really be happy if you marry into your husband's family like this?"
The area where the hot tea had splashed had already turned red, but Li Nian seemed oblivious. "In the final analysis, you're just doing this for your own selfish reasons. You don't have the ability to marry someone better, so you want Qiu Wu to fulfill your wish for you..."
She clenched her fists, thinking of the ideas that the original owner had been indoctrinated with since childhood, and couldn't help but raise her voice: "Do you know how Qiu Wu's self-esteem was trampled upon by Xiao Yunyu after she married him, how she was bullied by her mother-in-law, and in the end..."
Li Nian couldn't tell whether her emotions at this moment belonged to the original owner or her. Although the original owner's ending was caused by herself, as a mother, doesn't she have any responsibility at all?
There is no description of the original owner's mother in the book, only that she was a concubine.
Looking at her attitude now, Li Nian could guess how helpless and sad Yun Qiuwu must have felt in the original book when she came back and was criticized so harshly by her biological mother.
When Er Niang heard her words, she glared at her and warned her, "Don't forget that you are originally a concubine's daughter. If it weren't for me, you would never have been able to marry the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion!"
"I don't want it anyway!" Li Nian's eyes were red as she stared at Er Niang in a daze. She couldn't understand why all mothers in the world were so selfish?
In modern times, when she was six years old, her parents divorced and her father cheated on her and left her and her mother.
Later, her mother found her own happiness and left her alone at the door of the orphanage.
She still remembers that it rained heavily that day. Her mother said she was going to buy her some candied haws and asked her to wait for her under the big tree at the entrance of the orphanage with an umbrella.
She waited for a day and a night. The autumn rainy night was particularly cold, dark and cold.
She didn't remember what happened to her later. She only knew that she woke up several days later and became an orphan in an orphanage.
She didn't believe that her mother didn't want her, so she waited under the big tree every day, afraid that her mother wouldn't be able to find her when she came.
Until she grew up, she saw that her mother had a new family and a pair of children.
She wanted to reunite with her father, but her mother threw some money at her and warned her sternly not to try to destroy her current family.
At that moment she finally understood that her mother had abandoned her on purpose.
From then on, she became a true orphan, a child that no one wanted.
The place where the hot tea splashed seemed to hurt even more.
Second Mother had a look of disappointment on her face: "I don't care whether you like Xiao Yunyu or not, you must remember that you are a concubine's daughter! As long as you use all the tricks I taught you before to please him and win his heart! With him protecting you, who will dare to talk about your background in front of you in the future?"
"You're so good, you couldn't even hook someone on your wedding night!"
"Qiu Wu! You have to remember, if you want to win a man's heart, you have to abandon your dignity, abandon your self-respect, and do whatever it takes! You have to find a way to give Xiao Yunyu more sons as soon as possible, so that you can maintain your position as the legal wife!"
Li Nian listened to her righteous and twisted logic and suddenly laughed.
Yes, she abandoned her face and self-esteem and used all means to seduce Xiao Yunyu.
Isn't this what the system wants her to do?
Whether it was the original owner or her, it seemed that there was no other way to go.
If you don’t seduce, you’ll die!
She took a deep breath, lowered her eyes to hide the bitterness and helplessness in them, regained her composure, and said, "Mother is right. I can only do that."
"Snap! Snap! Snap!"
"Well said, I can't help but applaud you and your daughter." A familiar sarcastic voice sounded.
Li Nian froze. Wasn't Xiao Yunyu chatting with his father in the front yard? Why was he here?
How much of their conversation did he hear?
Li Nian turned around stiffly, and Xiaoyao explained: "Husband, it's not what you think..."
"Don't call me husband, I can't stand a woman like you." Xiao Yunyu stared at her with gloomy eyes and curled his lips coldly.
Li Nian suddenly felt his scalp tingling, and his already cold and numb heart suddenly felt empty.
She seemed to be making things more and more difficult. Xiao Yunyu already hated her, and now he must hate her to death...
"I'm sorry..." She wanted to explain something, but she felt that no matter how much she explained, it would be useless. He would not forgive her.
She probably... can only wait to die...
Xiao Yunyu was so angry that he left with a flick of his sleeves, leaving her alone in the Yun Mansion.
Er Niang got angry because the servants did not inform her in advance, allowing Xiao Yunyu to barge in and hear those words.
Li Nian shrugged his head and went back alone in the carriage without saying a word.

Xiao Mansion.
Li Sisi and Xiao Yunchen had dinner together at her mother's house before returning.
As soon as she came back, Li Sisi couldn't wait to find Li Nian, wanting to ask her how her trip back to her parents' home was today and whether she had felt wronged.
Li Nian looked at Li Sisi's happy expression, suppressed her inner emotions, and said with a faint smile: "I'm fine. What could possibly happen if I go back to my parents' home?"
"I'm glad you didn't feel wronged. Let me tell you..." Li Sisi couldn't wait to share her experience after returning home.
"Hahaha, isn't that funny? She thought Chenchen would be mad at me, but Chenchen scolded her! He said she had evil intentions and was trying to sow discord between us!"
"You don't know how she looked at that time, haha ...
Li Nian listened to her vivid description, as if she were there herself, as if she was the one being protected.
She couldn't help but say, "Xiao Yunchen is very good. In the book, he is a gentleman. He will have a bright future in the court."
"That's true," Li Sisi said cheerfully, "Chenchen is quite obedient, unlike the male protagonist Xiao Yunyu. If I were to travel through time and space and become Yun Qiuwu, I could fight with the male protagonist eight hundred times a day!"
