Chapter 374: Uncovering the Unbearable Past
The old hall master raised his hand and motioned for his subordinates to push himself to the table in the center of the room, and only after the subordinates put the tea set they carried with him on the table, boiled a pot of good tea and poured a cup and handed it to themselves, then he put his eyes back on Mrs. Tang.
As for the old hall master's action in one go, Mrs. Tang was always silent, her expression was calm, there was no change in the slightest, the only change was that she raised her eyebrows, other than that, her expression and movements did not change.
The two seemed to be playing a silent game, staring at each other silently, neither of them took the initiative to speak, and there was no other sound in the quiet room except for the sound of the old hall master drinking tea.
The subordinates who were accompanying the old hall master were even more eye-to-nose and nose-watching, and stood quietly behind him with their heads bowed, and they didn't dare to come out.
After a long while, after the old hall master drank the second cup of tea, Mrs. Tang couldn't bear it anymore, broke the silence and spoke first.
"Since the lord is sober and has come here, it means that you know everything, so, what do you want? And Shu'er, what did you do to him? ”
Seeing that Mrs. Tang was not pretending to be stupid, and the old hall master was not wasting time, after handing the teacup in his hand to the subordinate behind him, he raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Tang and said, "Why did Madam do this?" Haven't I treated you well all these years? Am I sorry for you? ”
Mrs. Tang smiled dumbly and said: "It's really ridiculous that the master said this, no matter what, you are also a person who crawled out of the sea of blood, how could you ask such a question, don't you think it's ridiculous?" ”
"So, you mean I was wrong, that I shouldn't have saved you for your father's sake? Is it wrong to let you be pointed at with a big belly and then be ashamed and self-defeating? I was indeed wrong, I was too good to you all these years, so that you had undeserved ambitions, and almost killed your own blood. ”
The old hall master's eyes were complicated, and he said with regret.
Mrs. Tang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, "Master, you are embarrassed to say this, the reason why you were willing to help me back then was not because my father used Wanguan's family wealth to help Rong Antang tide over the difficulties?" How can an exchange of interests come out of your mouth, and you will become a great benevolent person who opens a charity hall. ”
"You ......" the old hall master rebuked angrily, his face changed unpredictably, blue and white for a while, but he couldn't say a powerful rebuttal.
"What? Isn't what the concubine said the truth? Seeing that the old hall master was powerless to refute, Mrs. Tang continued to sarcastically with disdain.
"I admit that over the years, you have been really good to me, in addition to the fact of husband and wife, over the years, you have done all the gifts that should be a wife, let me look like a dignified lady of the hall, even Shu'er and Niannian, you have also done it as your own, in addition to the rights of Rong'an Hall, let them have no worries about food and clothing, and you can also do the ultimate in glory and wealth."
When she said these words, Mrs. Tang was indeed sincere, because over the years, the man in front of her had indeed done what she promised to her father, but she was unwilling, unwilling to watch this man have nothing to do with the huge Rong Antang and their mother and son.
"In that case, why are you doing this? I have fulfilled my promise and have been doing it, what are you not satisfied with? Why hurt He'er? Why should you let Tianshu hate me? Why do you want to compete for the position of the head of Rong'an Hall? You know that Rong Antang has nothing to do with your mother and son, and you are not qualified to fight for ....... ”
The old hall master asked angrily, half angry, half puzzled.
He didn't understand how the pitiful, dignified, generous, kind and transparent person he used to be so ruthless and scheming could not recognize his identity now.
Hearing this, Mrs. Tang's expression changed, and she looked at the old hall master with resentment, "I want to ask you all this, it's you, the biggest reason for today's situation is because of you." ”
"Because of me?"
The old hall master was confused.
"Yes, it's because of you, if it weren't for the fact that you were so good to me, so good that I thought you liked me, and I had me in my heart, so good that I thought we could be a real husband and wife."
"It's so good that I thought we could be a happy family, so good that I thought your tenderness to me and your care for the children were real, so good that it made me trance, so good that I thought it was true, so good that I was afraid that all this was fake......."
"So good that I thought I could be a real woman in Rong'an Tang...... Good enough for me to think we were meant to be, good enough for me to open my heart to accept you, good enough for me not to be bothered by those nightmares...... So good that I thought it ...... We take the place of the woman in your heart ....... ”
Saying the sincere words that have been hidden in her heart for decades, Mrs. Tang did not have the slightest sense of relief, but only full of desolation and pain.
The old hall master was completely stunned, and many uncertain emotions flashed in his eyes, some were surprised, some couldn't believe it, some were surprised, some were dazed, and some were suspicious......
But there was no trace of surprise, distress and joy.
After not seeing the answer she wanted in the eyes of the old hall master, Mrs. Tang, who had not shed tears for many years, couldn't help but shed tears after all, and one teardrop after another slipped down her face like a broken thread.
"So, I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled that all this is fake, I want to be the real hostess of Rong'an Hall, and I want to be a real husband and wife ......with you."
As soon as the words changed, Mrs. Tang stopped the tears that kept falling, raised her hand to wipe the tears off her face, and restored her previous image of a ruthless villain.
"Since you don't have me in your heart, then I'll find another way and take the sword sideways, so I put chronic poison in your food, and then cause you to be half paralyzed, and you can't move, I can take care of you closely, so that you can only belong to me alone."
"Haven't you always missed Wan Yuehe's mother in your heart? Don't you feel that you have always owed Wanyue River? So after getting him back, you will take back all your father's love from Shu'er and Nian Nian, and pour all your father's love into Wanyuehe. ”
"Take him with him and teach him carefully, pave the way for him, wash away the experience of Rong'an Tang's unknown origin, and even cut a lot of shady profiteering businesses at the expense of pain, just to prepare to wait for him to be full-fledged, and hand over a clean Rong'an Tang to him,"
Mrs. Tang's words made the old hall master's face change, his eyes turned cold, and he didn't have any emotion, but Mrs. Tang didn't mean to restrain at all, maybe she didn't realize that she had crossed the bottom line.
Maybe he realized it, but he felt that it didn't matter anymore, so he continued to challenge the bottom line of the old hall master with the mentality of breaking the jar and breaking it.
