Chapter 375 Domination

"You are still young, so you are willful and don't understand."

"Be obedient, I am your mother, and everything I do is for your own good."

A feeling of helplessness and depression welled up in Lei Nian'er's chest.

If she was not her biological mother, if she did these things out of her own selfish motives, if her mother really wanted to sell her out for power and wealth.

She could be as cruel as Chuchu, even if it meant being branded as unfilial, she would still cut off all ties with her family and even let her reap the consequences.

Lei Nian'er bent down and buried her face in her hands.

But that was not the case. She was really doing it for her own good and getting her what she thought was the best.

But this is not what Lei Nian'er wants.

Just like when she was a child, she wanted to eat dates, but her mother gave her starberries because she thought starberries were better.

The shackles in the name of love are the most difficult to break free from.

It was only by standing on her mother's shoulders that she was able to see the wider and better world. We cannot be so conscienceless as to accuse her of having a narrow vision as a stepping stone.

It couldn't be explained, and it couldn't be done. She really didn't know what to do.

The little girl buried in his palms started sobbing. Yun Guichi was frightened by her reaction and didn't understand why his daughter suddenly collapsed.

She ran over and patted her daughter on the shoulder, then asked carefully, "Nian'er?"

Lei Nian'er didn't want to raise her head and continued to remain in the darkness.

Yun Guichi was anxious, "Don't cry, Mom is not forcing you to get married now."

"It's just an engagement. It can be cancelled. I just want you to see it. If you really don't like it, we can reject them."

She didn't know how to care for a sad child, so she could only hug her like she did when she was a child.

Lei Nian'er finally raised her head, pulled out her mother's handkerchief, and blew her nose.

"Mom, you know that when you give someone a gift, you should give them something they like. But what you gave me was what you thought was good, not what I wanted."

"I don't want to get married. This is not what I want."

Yun Guichi frowned and said, "Why are you so stubborn, kid? Will your mother harm you?"

Lei Nian'er:......

She knew it didn't make sense.

She wasn't ready to reason anymore.

"Mother, marriage is a matter of parents' will, you can do whatever you want."

Before Yun Guichi could be happy, Lei Nian'er continued, "No matter who you find for me, I'm not going home anymore."

"I will discuss with Lord Mo Qing that no Lei family posts will be allowed into the East Palace."

Yun Guichi couldn't believe it: "Are you threatening me?"

"Didn't my mother force me first?"

Lei Nian'er stood up from the chair, "My life is mine. I will bear the consequences of taking the wrong path myself. If the path you choose makes me unhappy, you can't take responsibility for me."

"So, I will not be constrained by anyone because no one can take the risk for me."

Her eyes were firm and sharp.

"Everything about me, every choice I make, must be completely controlled by myself."

"I want to be free, but my mother won't give it to me, so I have no choice but to give myself freedom."

"Of course, I will never forget your kindness in giving birth to me and raising me. I will send money back to you every month, but I'm sorry that I can't be in your arms anymore."

Yun Guichi knew that she was not joking. If she interfered with her marriage again, this poor kid would run away from home and never come back.

By then she would hide in the East Palace and she wouldn't be able to get in at all.

She couldn't understand why the child was so repulsive when it was just a matter of visiting the couple.

The whole room was silent for a long time, and Lei Nian'er and her mother looked at each other in silence.

Yun Guichi still compromised in his thoughts about his child. He held his forehead with his hand and said, "You heartless little girl, I can't control you anymore. You will regret it in the future."

Lei Nian'er relaxed. She didn't want to distance herself from her mother unless it was absolutely necessary.

As for regret?

Absolutely not.

Even if I really end up being alone for the rest of my life, how can I guarantee that I will meet my true love if I choose another path?

She would never embellish a path she had not walked.

When Lei Nian'er left, Aunt Qiu, who heard the news, hurried to the main courtyard, but did not run into anyone.

She went to ask for an audience with Yun Guichi, but was stopped.

"Madam Qiu, the Madam is not feeling well and is taking a nap. If you don't have anything urgent to do, please come back in two hours."

Aunt Qiu could only smile awkwardly, "Nothing, I just came to greet the Madam."

After saying this, he hurried away to write back to the Qiu family.

Lei Nian'er is in a good mood now. Her mother no longer pays attention to her fiancé and lets her deal with it on her own.

But she doesn't pay attention to irrelevant people and spends all her time handling her official duties.

As for that cheap fiancé, he will be anxious himself.

really.

When Mr. Qiu first received the news, he was still waiting for Lei Nian'er to come find him.
