After dinner, Qin Zun was taking Tonghua around to introduce her to his relatives when a maid came over.
The maid lowered her head and said, "Master, the mistress wants to see you!"
Qin Zun's face turned stern, and he replied calmly, "I understand."
Then he said to Tonghua gently, "Stay here for a while, I'll be right over."
Tonghua nodded obediently: "Yeah."
Then Qin Zun followed the maid to Song Yiru's room with an expressionless face.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
"Come in."
After Qin Zun entered the room, he stood one meter away from her and said, "Mother, are you looking for me?"
Song Yirou looked at Qin Zun with an obscure look, and after a long moment, she said, "What did you mean by what you said at the dinner table?"
Qin Zun replied calmly: "Mother, I don't understand what you mean."
Seeing that Qin Zun was playing dumb and not responding, Song Yirou had no choice but to question him: "Let me ask you, do you really want to reveal that woman's identity?!"
She was right there at the time, and when she heard her eldest son talking about holding a wedding, it was clear that he was going to reveal that woman's existence to the outside world. This was unacceptable! If her identity was revealed, wouldn't everyone outside know that he had a daughter-in-law from a commoner family? How would she gain a foothold in the wives' circle in the future?
Qin Zun objected: "Mother, Tonghua is my wife, not 'that woman' you mentioned. She is my wife, and there is nothing wrong with me planning to hold a grand wedding for her. After all, this should have been done a long time ago. I am sorry for her for delaying it for so long."
As early as half a year ago, when Qin Zun was about to reveal his identity to Tonghua, he had thought about announcing that she was his wife and holding a high-profile wedding for her. However, due to some unexpected events, they have been married for nearly a year and have just put this matter on the agenda. Although he mentioned this to Tonghua, Tonghua didn't care about it, but he did care and he wanted to make Tonghua the happiest woman in the world.
"There are so many noble ladies out there waiting to marry you, why did you choose this ordinary person?!"
Song Yirou secretly resented the woman. She didn't know what tricks that woman had used. First, she made the old man like her and arranged for her to marry the eldest son. Now she had charmed the eldest son and even wanted to make her public. When she thought about revealing her identity and the sarcastic and mocking looks from the wives when they knew she had a commoner daughter-in-law, Song Yirou couldn't stand it. She had been in the wives' group for so long and had always been the one being praised. When she thought about being ridiculed by others, her heart felt like it was being gnawed by ants, making her unable to sleep at night.
Qin Zun reminded her, "Mother, don't forget that before you married father, you were just an ordinary person!"
Song Yirou was hit in the sore spot and suddenly flew into a rage, pointing at Qin Zun's nose: "Asshole! You actually contradicted your mother who gave birth to you and raised you for a woman. You are simply a traitor!"
Qin Zun's tone remained unchanged: "Raise me? Why do I remember that I was raised by my grandparents? If grandma hadn't taken me away and raised me by her side, I might have been abused to death by you, mother."
Song Yirou's face flashed with panic, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Nonsense! Your grandma must have told you this. She has always been at odds with me and can't stand me, so she naturally made up these lies to make you hate me and drive us mother and son apart. You must not fall for her tricks!"
Seeing his mother trying to cover up her fault, Qin Zun felt a little tired. Ever since he was born, his mother had never liked him, and even rejected him and treated him badly. If he hadn't fallen ill due to malnutrition one time, and his grandmother knew that his mother treated him badly, she would not have chosen to raise him by her side.
His grandmother raised him for so many years, and not only did she not say anything bad about his mother, she also kept advising him not to resent his mother for this, saying that she had her own reasons for doing so. He listened to his grandmother and pretended not to know about it.
He had wanted to keep this matter hidden deep in his heart for the rest of his life, but today when he talked about it for the first time, his mother refused to admit that she had done anything to hurt him. Instead, she threw dirty water on her deceased grandmother. Her grandmother treated him so well. Not only did she teach him carefully, but even before she died, she kept talking about him and worried about his marriage.
Not only did his mother abuse him after he was born, but she also ignored him when he grew up. This made Qin Zun even more disappointed in Song Yirou. His mother abused her eldest son and favored her youngest son. She was never a good mother! He should have given up hope in her a long time ago.
Qin Zun instantly lost interest in the conversation and said coldly, "If you called me here this time just to listen to you belittling my wife, then I'll excuse myself now!"
After saying this, he left without even looking at the other person's dark face.
