Chapter 23 My Daughter Has Grown Up
As soon as Li said this, Shu Erniang immediately refused to work.
"What do you mean? Is it wrong for me to care about my niece?" Shu Er Niang shouted sharply, "Look at what kind of life Wanwan lived after she married into the Rong family? How come you, as her mother, don't love her at all? If you don't love her, I do! Can't I, as her aunt, love her?" Shu Er Niang spoke loudly and righteously.
She was calculating very loudly in her mind. She put a high hat on Li that she didn't care about Shu Wan. She wasn't afraid that Shu Wan would have complaints against Li. Compared with her sincere concern for Shu Wan, Shu Wan was bound to be close to her. Wouldn't all the good things be given to her? Didn't Shu Wan give her everything she wanted? "Wan Wan and our Zihao were doing well and had a great relationship. But what happened? You just couldn't bear to see Wan Wan doing well and forced her to marry the city lord's mansion that was so cruel. Now, the groom wasn't there at the wedding ceremony, and the husband didn't accompany her when she returned home. All of this was caused by you? How could you be so cruel!" Shu Er Niang stood on the moral high ground, making arbitrary comments and criticizing Li for how heinous her crimes were.
She just wanted to let Shu Wan know that Shu Wan's current situation was all caused by Li. The more Shu Wan hated Li, the closer he would be to her, so that any good things he got in the future would be used to honor her.
Li's face suddenly turned pale.
"Er Niang, how can you talk like that?" Shu Zheng looked at his wife who was so angry that she couldn't speak, and quickly started to scold Shu Er Niang.
"Brother, what did I say wrong?" Shu Er Niang retorted.
"Aunt, do you mean that my mother was wrong?" Shu Wan spoke at the right time and asked Shu Er Niang, "How is it wrong for my mother to want me to marry someone better?" She really had never seen such a shameless person.
When she said this, everyone present was stunned. They all looked at her in disbelief as if they were looking at some rare treasure.
What was she saying just now? She seemed to be speaking for Li?
Shu Erniang was confused. Was what she said just now not straightforward enough? Why did Shu Wan still stand on Li's side? What went wrong?
The one who felt the most unbelievable was Li.
In her memory, whenever she had a conflict with Shu Er Niang, Shu Wan never spoke for her like this. Instead, he directly helped Shu Er Niang to blame her without asking the reason, thinking that Shu Er Niang knew nothing but was too nosy.
She didn't know how sad she was secretly.
Her daughter finally spoke for her, and her Wanwan finally grew up!
Li burst into tears. She was so relieved that her daughter had grown up and finally understood her painstaking efforts and knew how to protect her! Shu Wan: ...
Shu Wan looked at Li who was crying uncontrollably, and then listened to her inner thoughts. A flock of crows flew over her head! Was it so touching?
"Mom, don't cry!" She quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Li's tears. "Wanwan was ignorant before and made you worry. I won't do that again in the future." Li's tears really came and went without stopping.
Hearing this, Li cried even harder.
She thought she was dreaming and it wasn't real at all!
Shu Wan: ...
How much of a jerk must the original owner be to make Li cry like this just because of a single sentence?
"Stop crying, stop crying." Shu Zheng also tried to persuade her, "Today is the day our daughter comes home to visit us, why are you crying so much?" But he also seemed a little moved. What was going on?
Li finally stopped crying. From the look in her eyes when she looked at Shu Wan, it was clear how much she wanted to cry.
