Chapter 18: Li's Tears
The dishes prepared by the Shu family today are very rich, with a total of thirty-six dishes.
The servants couldn't finish arranging the dishes in a short time, so Li took Shu Wan back to the room to talk.
"Wanwan, tell me the truth." Just now, in front of so many people, Li couldn't ask too many questions. She could only take this opportunity to pull Shu Wan back to the room and talk in private. "Did Rong Chen make you feel wronged? Otherwise, what does it mean that she didn't marry you yesterday and didn't accompany you back home today? If you have been wronged, tell me and I will help you vent your anger!" She also had some complaints about Rong Chen in her heart.
"Mom, it's nothing!" Shu Wan smiled gently, feeling surprised. The Shu family elders forced her to marry Rong Chen, so they should have expected today's scene. Why did they act like nothing happened? "He was really busy today, he didn't mean to not come." In order not to worry Li, she could only lie.
"You know mother isn't referring to this!" Li wanted to reach out and pull Shu Wan's ears.
"What?" Shu Wan really didn't know what Li was referring to!
"You are still pretending to be stupid in front of me. Tell me the truth, is it because of that Li Zihao incident that Rong Chen ignored you?" Li was about to cry as she spoke.
"Mom, don't cry. Rong Chen didn't ignore me, really!" She really felt that Rong Chen didn't do anything to her.
"You are still lying to your mother. Do you think I don't know that in the two days since you got married, Rong Chen has been sleeping in the study and has never returned home! You haven't consummated your marriage yet!" Li scolded.
Shu Wan blushed!
It turned out that Li thought that Rong Chen did not consummate his marriage with her, so she was dissatisfied with her and ignored her.
"Mom..." Even though Shu Wan was a modern person, she was still embarrassed. In modern times, she had never had a serious boyfriend. Now, bringing up such a shameful topic, wasn't it deliberately embarrassing for her? "Oh, don't say it. It's embarrassing. I don't know him well!" If Rong Chen really slept in her room, she would go crazy.
"You are already married, husband and wife, shouldn't this kind of thing be a natural outcome?" Li didn't believe her lies.
"Didn't you force me to marry him, and his family forced him to marry you?" Shu Wan couldn't help but mutter.
How can anything go smoothly for two people who are tied together?
"What did you say?" Li suddenly became anxious, "Wanwan, are you still blaming your parents?" Li had so many tears that they rolled down her face as she spoke.
"No, no." Shu Wan quickly admitted her mistake, "I don't blame you, Mom. I don't blame you and Dad. Don't cry!" She was wrong. She shouldn't have said that. She could just think about it in her heart. Why did she have to say it out loud?
"Wanwan, mother knows that you are still blaming me and your father in your heart!" Li continued.
Shu Wan was about to say no when Li spoke again.
"But we had no choice. Mother knows that you like Li Zihao, but Li Zihao is not a good man at all!" Li said earnestly, "He is not a good man. You will not be happy if you marry him. That's why I let you marry into the Rong family. Mother knows that you have always blamed me and your father in your heart!" Otherwise, how could she have been so cruel as to force her daughter to marry into the Rong family, and marry her so hastily, just to prevent Shu Wan from being deceived again.
One time, when she passed by a teahouse, she overheard the conversation between Li Zihao and Lin Qingqing. Only then did she realize that Li Zihao's purpose in getting close to Shu Wan was because the Shu family had no male heirs and the family business would belong to Shu Wan alone in the future, so he had thoughts that he shouldn't have.
How can you entrust your life to such a person?
Li recalled the scene of that day.
She didn't intend to tell Shu Wan about these things, but what she didn't know was that Shu Wan had heard all her thoughts.
"Mom, I know." She had known all this for a long time. "I know Li Zihao is not a good person, so I don't blame you and my dad. Really, I know that mom and dad are doing this for my own good!" She spoke from the heart.
Li stopped crying and stared at Shu Wan in a daze.
Why did she feel that her daughter had suddenly become a different person?
Given Shu Wan's previous temper, I don't know how he would make a fuss.
Her daughter suddenly became sensible, and she wanted to cry even more!
"Wanwan, you..." Li couldn't believe her ears and eyes.
Is this person in front of her really her daughter? "Mom, I've always known in my heart that Li Zihao is not a good person. She just coveted our family property and deliberately approached me. I know all this, so how could I really like that kind of person!" Shu Wan knew what Li was thinking, so she explained seemingly unintentionally, "After I married into the Rong family, my mother-in-law treated me very well. When my sister-in-law was ignorant and teased me, she also helped to teach my sister-in-law a lesson. And Rong Chen, she even punished his sister for this matter. So mom, don't worry. I know who is good and who is bad between Rong Chen and Li Zihao. I know it all in my heart."
"What did your sister-in-law do to you?" Li's focus was here. Although Shu Wan only said it lightly, she had heard of the reputation of the youngest daughter of the Rong family. She was spoiled and annoying. She was punished. She must have done something too much. "Wan Wan, are you okay? Did you suffer any injustice?" Li said, and she even checked to see if Shu Wan was injured.
"Mom, I'm fine." Shu Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she felt warm in her heart. This is what it felt like to have family members caring about her! In her previous life, she was an orphan without a father or a mother. She grew up in an orphanage, and no one cared about her like this. "Don't you know your daughter? Is she someone who can suffer any loss?" Thinking of how willful the original owner was, she couldn't help laughing.
But she also felt very sorry. The original owner was such a fool. Her parents planned for her wholeheartedly, but she didn't understand their painstaking efforts. For the sake of a scumbag, she went against her parents, broke their hearts, and finally lost her life!
Shu Wan thought to herself, since I am using your body now, I will take good care of your parents for you, and make that scumbag pay for your death.
"That's true!" Li finally burst into laughter. Shu Wan had been unruly since she was a child and never willing to suffer any grievance. Presumably, Rong Yiyi was no match for her. However, thinking that she might offend her husband's family because of this matter, Li became worried again. "But in this case, will your mother-in-law and Rong Chen have any opinions about you? What if your mother-in-law makes things difficult for you?" Li was also a new daughter-in-law and knew how pitiful it was to meet a mother-in-law who was not a good person.
Back then, she didn't give birth to a son for Shu Zheng, and I don't know how much trouble she suffered from her mother-in-law.
"Mom, don't worry." Shu Wan shook her head. "My mother-in-law seems to be a good person at the moment. She won't embarrass me. Besides, even if she cares about our Shu family's connections and financial resources, she won't do this to me."
"Alas." Li sighed, "Wanwan, you should be more filial to her on weekdays and let her be on your side, so that your life will be better. But you must also remember that if his family dares to make you feel wronged, just come back and tell mother, and I will help you." What she feared most was that Shu Wan would be wronged in the Rong family, and everything else was easy to deal with.
Since Shu Wan mentioned that the Rong family is concerned about the Shu family's financial resources and connections, then she and the master must devote all their efforts to running the family business so that Shu Wan will have a solid backing to rely on.
But at the same time, she was also worried that when she and Shu Zheng got old and couldn't take care of him anymore, or died, Shu Wan would be left alone and bullied! "Okay, I understand, mother. If I'm wronged, I'll come back to complain to you!" Shu Wan agreed with her.
Not to mention that Shu Wan would not let herself be wronged. Besides, she would not stay in the City Lord's Mansion for long and would leave. How could she be wronged? Couldn't she just treat the people of the Rong family as guests? Li couldn't stop wiping away tears again.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while longer, and then heard the servant come and report that it was time to go over to eat. Then they stopped talking and went to the dining room to eat.
