Looking at Fu Ling's grief-stricken face, Xue Zhiyi actually found it a little funny.
This man in front of her was poisonous to the bone, this evil man who wanted to sacrifice her life, her flesh and blood to feed this family of vicious people, could actually accuse her of being vicious with such certainty.
It seems that there are still many shameless people in this world.
Suddenly, Xue Zhiyi raised his eyebrows, and there was no sadness or joy in his dark eyes, but it was so faint that it startled Fu Ling's heart.
"Mother, are you talking about what happened in the garden today?"
Fu Ling didn't want to admit that she felt guilty because of Xue Zhiyi's look, but instead became even more angry: "You don't even think about repenting, you really are..."
"Mother, do you really not know who put that persimmon cake at the banquet?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Ling was stunned.
Under the dim candlelight, Xue Zhiyi looked directly into her eyes without any hesitation and spoke frankly.
Such questioning made her even more angry and embarrassed: "What do you mean! Questioning your mother like this, what kind of upbringing is this, and what kind of rules is this!"
Xue Zhiyi knelt, feeling as if something was blocking his chest and making him feel very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, fortunately she had seen through Fu Ling's true face and no longer tried to gain any affection from her.
She looked at the exasperated Fu Ling, who looked like a ridiculous clown, and seemed to see her own ridiculous past life.
How could she be deceived by such a person?
"It's obvious that Fu Rongxin had the persimmons brought to the table, because we all had sea bass for lunch. It's just that Jiahui and Jiamin were unlucky. Mother is interrogating me like this, why doesn't she interrogate Fu Rongxin, the culprit?"
When saying this, Xue Zhiyi remained calm and composed.
But the calmer Xue Zhiyi was, the angrier Fu Ling became. She stood up with a swish, pointing her slender fingers at Xue Zhiyi angrily, her fingers trembling slightly, making the bodhi seeds in her hand rustle: "You..."
"Or in Mother's eyes, am I the one who should bear the responsibility for Fu Rongxin's mistakes? No matter what she wants to do to me, even if it means taking my life, I should just bear it obediently. If I show any resistance, I'll be touching Mother's reverse scale, right? Then what am I?"
Xue Zhiyi sneered sarcastically: "Her puppet?"
As soon as these words came out, Fu Ling's face turned pale and she was speechless for a moment. She cursed at the top of her lungs: "You are a traitor!"
Fu Ling's breathing fluctuated, and there was no trace of his usual compassionate demeanor. It seemed as if he was about to faint from anger in the next moment.
After saying this, Xue Zhiyi himself was stunned for a moment.
These words almost came out of my mouth, as if the grievances accumulated in two lifetimes could no longer be restrained in this moment.
But once the words are spoken, it's hard to take them back.
She didn't think Fu Ling would guess that she already knew her life experience. After all, in this kind of matter, the only ones who knew the truth were Xue Zhentong, Fu Ling, Fu Rongxin, and Fu Wei. None of the four of them had any reason to tell her the truth, so she naturally had no way of knowing it.
After taking a deep breath, Xue Zhiyi calmed down a little, but perhaps because he felt guilty, Fu Ling was extremely excited.
"Xue Zhiyi!" Her eyes were red, and she pointed at him with a trembling finger. "You evil creature, you wicked and heartless creature! How could I have a daughter like you who is so disobedient and unfilial! It's truly a misfortune for our family to have raised you to this state!"
How did I become your daughter? Don’t you know?
Xue Zhiyi thought so.
"Is it a misfortune for our family?" Xue Zhiyi looked at her intently: "Mother, do you know that my eldest sister almost ate that persimmon cake today? She is also your biological daughter..."
"What does this have to do with you!?"
Before he finished speaking, Xue Zhiyi felt his face burning hot, and then a stinging pain like a needle prickled his head.
She was a little dazed...it was Fu Ling who hit her.
Fu Ling was also a little dazed, but she quickly calmed down and put on the attitude of a superior elder.
"Don't glare at me like that. I'm your mother. If I don't raise you well, I'm failing in my duty. When have I ever been so harsh on your elder sister? Don't think I'm partial. After all, it's you who's let yourself down. You're so outspoken and don't act like a lady at all!"
At this moment, the door of the main room was suddenly pushed open.
"Mom! What are you doing!?"
The moment Xue Zhiyi turned around, his eyes turned red without warning.
It’s Xue Ruoyu.
Looking at Xue Zhiyi with red marks on her face, she squatted beside her regardless of the fact that she was pregnant, and touched the scar in disbelief and caution, as if she was afraid of hurting Xue Zhiyi again.
Then, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Fu Ling with confusion: "Mom, what's wrong with you..."
Perhaps she hadn't expected her eldest daughter to suddenly catch her in this situation. Fu Ling was a little at a loss. She fiddled with her bracelet and tried to change the subject: "What are you doing here?"
"It's a rare opportunity for me to come back, so I want to talk to Zhiyi."
Xue Ruoyu's eyes were dim with shock. "I just didn't expect to see my mother so angry as soon as I arrived."
Fu Ling is different in front of Xue Ruoyu and Xue Zhiyi. In front of her biological daughter, she is always so kind and gentle, and her eyes are always full of appreciation and love when she looks at Xue Ruoyu.
Xue Ruoyu probably had never seen her mother like this before.
After a moment's silence, Fu Ling explained, "...Ruoyu, you should get up first. Zhiyi was ignorant of etiquette today. If I don't teach him, it might lead to disaster in the future."
Xue Ruoyu had no intention of getting up, but gently stroked Xue Zhiyi's head and let her lean on her shoulder.
"But I have heard what happened today. My daughter believes that Zhiyi did nothing wrong."
