“Father, the things that Seventh Sister sent to my courtyard today are the same as those of the concubine daughters. I’m so angry. I’m the legitimate daughter, how can I be treated the same as those concubine daughters?”
"Who does she think she is? If you don't have something good, don't send it. And then she gives it away..."
*Slap!* Before she could finish speaking, Yu Ningrong received a heavy slap across the face.
Yu Ningrong, who had been hit, was momentarily blank on the face. She knew that although her father hadn't doted on her as much as before in the past year, he still loved her in general.
She never expected that her father, who had never been willing to hit her since she was a child, would actually hit her just because of one sentence.
Yu Ningrong couldn't accept it. After the initial panic and helplessness, she was filled with endless anger. Her eyes reddened as she cried out, "Father, you actually hit your daughter! You actually hit your daughter because of someone else! Waaaaah..."
Yu Mochun withdrew his hand, his face icy cold, ignoring her crying and said, "Yu Ningrong, it's because I've spoiled you too much, making you increasingly arrogant and ungrateful."
He then coldly said to Madam Bao, "Madam Bao, if you can't discipline our daughter, I will personally discipline her. We can't let her cause trouble for the family after she gets married. If that's the case, it's better to send her to the family temple as soon as possible."
Upon hearing the name "family temple," both mother and daughter flinched in fright.
Yu Ningrong shouted, "No, I don't want to go there! I'm the legitimate daughter of the Yu family! I don't want to go to a place only lowly people go to! I..."
It only took Bao a moment to go from gently stroking the wound on her daughter's face to tightly covering her daughter's mouth with her hand.
Turning to the Fourth Master, she said, "Fourth Master, Rong'er is still young and doesn't know how to speak properly. I will teach her well and won't let her cause trouble for the family again."
Master Yu said noncommittally, "That's for the best, otherwise my house is too small to contain her."
Thinking of something, he couldn't help but knock on Madam Bao's door and say, "Madam, don't just think about cleaning up the mess for Eighth Girl, also think about Yang-ge and Chen-ge, the children you gave birth to."
My wife probably knows where their future lies. As their father, I can't offer them much help, but being born into the Yu family is their greatest blessing.
This is a blessing many people envy; they have two children, but hopefully their older sister won't ruin it.
Although he spoke cryptically, Bao, a master of domestic power struggles, despite her limited knowledge, still understood the implications of these interests.
She loosened her grip on her daughter's hand. No matter how good her daughter was, no matter how much she cherished her, she would eventually get married.
Although she wouldn't sell her daughter to pave the way for her sons, she also couldn't let her daughter ruin her sons' bright future.
If a daughter like this marries into an enemy rather than a good match, the couple had previously planned to marry her off to a lower social class and give her a larger dowry. The husband's family would have been more lenient towards their daughter because of the family's status and wealth.
But because there is such a great Buddha in the family, the children's marriage prospects will not be bad. These days, all the families who come to propose marriage are good families.
When better candidates came along, she was reluctant to send Rongjie to an ordinary family.
However, if Rongjie doesn't change her temperament, marrying into that kind of family with her current temper won't be a good thing for her or her family.
What's more, the source of her anger is actually that person, which is bringing trouble to their fourth branch of the family!
Her two sons' future will depend on the help of this seventh sister!
Originally, the fourth branch of the family had offended this person when he first arrived, but now that he doesn't hold it against them, they can only secretly rejoice.
If the old master and madam find out what Rong'er has done, all four branches of the family will be kicked out and forced to live separately.
Everyone knows that in their Dayan, even the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Empress have to show him respect, and the Crown Prince visits every few days.
Due to the gag order from above, she could not tell her daughter her true feelings, but given the apparent favor shown to her by the royal family, her daughter was already eight years old. If she was intelligent and had a bright eye, she should understand something!
How could she have the audacity and shamelessness to accept other people's things while complaining that she received too little?
They also received gifts from Mingyue Pavilion in their room. Her family was a large merchant family, and she thought everything she saw was good. How could Rongjie have the nerve to say she disliked it?
Bao Shi completely withdrew her hand from Yu Ningrong's, and her expression became somewhat indifferent. "Rong'er, you'll be a young lady soon."
In two years, she'll be of marriageable age. If she still doesn't know what's important, what good family will she find?
Yu Ningrong was not fully aware that her mother's feelings for her had also faded after her father's passing.
She was full of resentment. "Am I, a legitimate daughter of the Yu family, not as good as someone of unknown origin in the future?"
"Grandmother is one thing, but grandfather is my own grandfather! How can he be so biased, only thinking about outsiders!"
Outsiders? Anyone who dares to say that the person from Mingyue Pavilion is an outsider in front of the old master and the old lady will become a true outsider themselves.
If Eighth Sister says that, does she not want to live anymore?
She thought that the fact that the man was Sun's biological son was just a cover-up? But those of them who could hear the truth knew what really happened!
The word "outsider" is taboo in the family, yet their own daughter dared to say it so casually and even had some complaints about the old lady and old man.
It seems my husband was right; this girl has really been spoiled by them and has become so arrogant that she doesn't know her place!
It didn't mean that Mo Chun got angry. Bao Shi said, "Fourth Master is right. This girl is indeed spoiled rotten. It seems that Rong Jie'er still needs to learn proper manners."
