"They said I looked like a small mother and had a foxy face."

"They said that the lintel of the Xie family was noble, and my mother didn't know what kind of bewitching woman she was, but she could charm Xie Yuan so much that she didn't even care about etiquette, and directly brought a widow and an orphan girl into the house without a name or a share."

Su Ruan looked up at Chen, whose face was pale, and said lightly:

"At that time, I only thought that we were using the Xie family, and you didn't tell me at that time that you were going to marry Xie Yuan."

"I can't tolerate someone scolding you like this, let alone someone slandering the reputation of our mother and daughter, so I made a move with someone, and pushed the second miss of the Lin family into the water by mistake, and almost drowned in the He family's pond."

Chen's face turned pale: "Ruan Ruan......"

Su Ruan tilted his head to look at her, and there was no warmth in his dark eyes.

"When I came back, I told my mother about it, right? I also asked you, when did we leave the Xie family, and why did we live in the house of the enemy who killed my father. ”

"What did my mother tell me at the time?"

"You said, Xie Yuan has saved our lives, and there may be other reasons for my father's death, you said that we will just stay here for a few days, and leave when we avoid the danger of Jingnan."

Su Ruan's voice was cold, even after a lifetime, even if she repeatedly told herself to be considerate of the Chen family, and to understand her helplessness and weakness, she still felt resentment towards her at this time.

If it weren't for Chen's words, how could she have lost her mind like a lightning strike when she knew that she was married to Xie Yuan?

Because Chan lied to her!

Su Ruan said coldly:

"Let's not talk about Xie Yuan's affairs for the time being, let's talk about the He family."

"At that time, you knew that the matter of the He family was not my fault alone, and you knew what I was doing with others for, but the He and Lin families came to ask for the guilt, and when I was in a coma with a high fever, did you ever defend me?"

Chen said urgently: "I didn't, I was protecting your ...... at the time"

"Yes, you're protecting me."

Su Ruan looked at Chen with red eyes:

"You interceded for me."

"You knelt on the ground and kowtowed to people, begging the Lin family and the He family to spare me, begging Xie Yuan and grandmother to save me, but why can't you stand up and tell the truth."

"Why didn't you tell the He and Lin families, your daughter didn't do anything wrong, your daughter just fought back when she was slandered, protecting herself and her weak and incompetent mother."

When Su Ruan said later, his voice was raised violently, and when he faced the Chen family, he was no longer as tame as before.

"You are protecting me, but have you ever stood up like someone else's mother for a moment?"

"You only know kowtowing and begging for mercy, and you only know that begging someone to let me go, but do you know that if it weren't for this matter, Miss Lin was at fault first, and the He family was not strict enough to take care of their own losses."

"Do you think that if you kowtow a few times and cry a few words, you can smooth out the affairs of the He family at the beginning?"

"Do you think I almost killed the daughter of the Cheng family in the imperial history, and I can survive with you kowtowing a few heads and begging them for a few words?!"

Su Ruan's eyes were red, and he looked at Chen Shi and said sharply:

"When I was in Jingnan, I protected you, that's what I should do, my father is gone, you are my mother, I tried my best to keep you alive."

"Later, after entering the Xie family, I also protected you, even if you married Xie Yuan, even if I did a lot of things later, I still protected you."

"But you know what, I hate your weakness."

Her voice was a little hoarse, as if it was infected with water vapor, and it was dull and uncomfortable.

"You said that grandmother scolded you, what did she scold you?"

"If you think she is unfair, you can refute it, grandmother is not an unreasonable person, but you always wait for me to stand up for you and let me walk in front of you."

"Jing Nan is like this, and the Xie family is like this."

"What the hell do you think of me?"

Su Ruan looked at Chen's pale face, took a deep breath and said, "Sometimes I really prefer you to be more vicious. ”

Chen Shi took half a step back violently, and his face was bloodless when Su Ruan's merciless words were spoken.

She looked at Su Ruan with her mouth slightly open, the person in front of her was obviously still the same as before, and his appearance was exactly the same as in her memory, but it was not the same person as the daughter who protected her everywhere in her memory.

She no longer has the slightest closeness to her, and she doesn't put her first in everything like before.

Since when did Su Nguyen become like this?

Su Ruan looked at the shock, sadness, and vague disbelief and unwillingness in Chen's eyes, and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

In fact, Chen's temperament is not so much weakness as selfishness.

She is just not so selfish and not so obvious, and she is not so completely selfish, she wears a weak skin to protect herself, but she still has so much sincerity towards her, so she has been ruthless and can't let go.

As Su Ruan said just now, she would rather Chen was a vicious intellectual, and she might be happier.

At least Chen was vicious, and she let it go.

She doesn't feel guilty and upset.

Su Ruan lowered his eyes and said: "In the past, in Jingnan, it was difficult for you to survive alone, so you couldn't do without me, but now that you have Xie Yuan, no matter what he married you for, he treats you very well." ”

"You are the wife of the Marquis of Xuanping, the eldest lady of the Xie family, from now on, no one will dare to embarrass you, and no one will be able to deceive you like when you were in Jingnan."

"There are no vicious people in the Xie family, and grandmother is also a tolerant character, although you don't have the right to be a housekeeper, but the third aunt is fair, and Xie Yuan protects you, you can live well for the rest of your life."

Su Ruan's voice was a little tired, and when he looked up at Chen, he said seriously:

"Don't let me charge for you anymore, and don't let me stand out for you everywhere."

"You don't have to deliberately get close to me, and you don't have to make up for me, you think you once owed me in Jingnan, you and Xie Yuan live a good life, whether it's having a child, taking care of Xie Qingyang and them, you don't have to put your eyes on me."

"I won't ignore you, if you really get into trouble one day, I will still help you."

Su Ruan's voice paused for a moment and looked into Chen's eyes:

"So Mother, will you let me go?"

……

When Chen left, his brain was a little buzzing.

After the door opened, she turned her head to look at Su Ruan, who was wearing a long robe and facing away from the door for a long time, before she said with red eyes: "No matter what you think of me, but Ruan Ruan, I never thought of hurting you." ”

The people inside didn't speak, they didn't even look back.

Chen's eyes were pantothenic and wanted to cry, but when he remembered Su Ruan's words just now, he hated her weakness.

She hurriedly turned her face up to suppress the wetness, pulled the hem of her clothes out of the pleats in her hands, closed her eyes violently after a while, and when she opened them again, she stepped out of the door with steps, and then left without looking back.
