Chapter 474: Ill-fated
"This time, among the clansmen sent by our Du family to the 'Medicine Pavilion' of the ancient forces, there is only one place among the three generations of descendants, although it was originally yours, but you also saw it in the ancestral hall just now, and even your father-in-law is completely biased towards Du Feifei...... If I hadn't stood up and spoken for you fairly, counting your contributions to the Du family in the past, making the faces of the three Heavenly Rank Pavilion elders feel indelibly erased, how could they have relented and let you go with you?"
"You've seen this with your own eyes, so you can't say that I'm taking the credit, right?"
"Even if they return the quota promised to you at the beginning, they would rather erase the quota of a second-generation clansman, or increase the quota of the third-generation descendants, who was originally only one person, to two, and they have to let Du Feifei go with you, can't you see it......?
After saying this, Du Qingrong sneered, her eyes were as sharp as knives, and she settled on Du Ziteng, who had a cloudy face beside her, and waited for him to digest and absorb it well, and then came up with the final decision.
In fact, with Du Ziteng's mind, Du Qingrong already knew what he was talking about.
However, it is one thing to know, but it is another thing to get the right mindset and face it positively.
Du Ziteng has been deliberately not allowing himself to think about this issue before, in order to avoid a complete falling out with the Du family, if he really tosses to the point of leaving the house, not to mention his identity and status, that kind of huge psychological gap is not something he can bear. You must know that he has always been the pride of heaven in the Du family before, and now even the quota that the Du family took the initiative to promise to go to the "Medicine Pavilion" of the ancient forces because of his great contribution was obtained by the Tianjie Pavilion in several clans when they couldn't erase their faces, and the contempt of the family up and down can be said to be obvious.
Such a predicament is too heavy a blow to Du Ziteng's originally arrogant temperament.
Losing power because of Cainan's trip is acceptable to him, after all, it is indeed he who lost the face of the Du family in East China, and he also caused his father-in-law and the two tiered worshippers in the clan to be injured, so he should naturally be blamed. But if even the opportunity to enter the "Medicine Pavilion" that he had earned through his previous contribution to the Du family was erased from its original substantive meaning in this case, and reduced to a hypocritical act that only reflected the Du family's fulfillment of its promises, what is there to be nostalgic for this place that has always been regarded as "home"?
The merit is not worth it, and the merit is not covered up!
If you have a mistake, you can bear the punishment, but why should you be ruthlessly deprived of the rewards and opportunities that you deserved for your previous merits?
Thinking of this, Du Ziteng, who had been browning tightly and not saying a word, crossed his eyes with a touch of resolute intentions!
At this moment, all the feelings he had accumulated for the Du family for more than 20 years since he was a child were completely dissipated unconsciously! Even faintly, this emotion, which he originally regarded as a kind of spiritual sustenance, dissipated at the same time, and at the same time, there was still a little part, which was inexplicably transformed into a deep hatred.
A kind of hatred for everyone in the Du family, for this behemoth family that he has never really integrated into, goes deep into the bone marrow!
"But...... Even if what you say is true, is it...... Do you have a way to change the patriarch's decision?"
Unconsciously went through a mental journey, and after letting go of all the emotions he had for the Du family before, Du Ziteng suddenly felt that his whole body and mind seemed to be much more relaxed, but his face was silent, and he turned his head to look at Du Qingrong on the side:
"This trip to the 'Medicine Pavilion', the Du family from the patriarch, the three generations of the old, middle and young are enough to go with ten people, I have been isolated, if the patriarch and a few pavilion elders do not speak, even if you have great ability, can you buy all these people at the same time? Otherwise, I am sandwiched between them, even if I go to the 'Medicine Pavilion', the opportunity has really appeared, but ...... With them in front of me, it won't fall on my head after all......"
"As the saying goes, merit and demerit do not offset each other, they are indeed too much to do, it is simply cold-blooded and ruthless! But you don't have anything to figure out, after all, you are not the real Du family, but just the adopted son of my eldest brother. ”
Nodding, Du Qingrong's gaze fell on Du Ziteng's face, a flash of appreciation flashed in her eyes, and she continued: "Although this is too cruel, but the reality is like this, I thought that with the relationship you have established since you grew up in the Du family, it will be difficult to accept this kind of encounter for a while." ”
"But looking at your current state, I only want to mention one sentence, you immediately analyzed the benefits and disadvantages thoroughly, obviously not confused, I really don't know if your heart is too firm, or your feelings for the Du family are not as deep as I imagined before, so I have realized this cruel reality that is extremely difficult for ordinary people to accept emotionally, so quickly......"
"Of course, it doesn't matter to me what the reason is. ”
With a faint smile, Du Qingrong continued: "In fact, I myself am the same, for me, the entire Du family, I just need to climb to the top and press them all underneath, as for the so-called emotion......? To hell with it. ”
At this moment, Du Qingrong seemed to have evoked a certain unsolvable knot in her heart, and her feelings became faintly excited, and it was not until this time that Du Ziteng realized that the woman in front of her had a deep hatred for the East China Du family who gave birth to her and raised her, just like herself, an outsider.
"So we must join forces, this Du family can only be trusted by you and me...... I am a woman and can't do big things, so I need to rely on you, and you, after all, don't have the blood of the Du family flowing in your body, even if you climb high, you can't be the first person to hold the authority of the Du family after all, and we are united, these problems can be solved. You...... See what I mean?"
As she spoke, Du Qingrong's gaze suddenly became sharp, and she stared at Du Ziteng tightly for a long time, and then her tone changed, and then she said:
"Yes, if you take refuge in me, even if you and I achieve something, you will always be under me, but I can assure you that if there is a day, there will be no one who can stand above you...... There will be no one else!"
Silent!
Apart from silence, Du Ziteng didn't say anything.
I have to say that Du Jingrong's words have completely moved him, and he has no other choice.
If he was working alone, the day he returned from this trip to the Medicine Pavilion would be when he Du Ziteng was swept away and driven out of the Du Mansion in East China.
"In order to show my sincerity, I will do my best to help you on this trip to the 'Medicine Pavilion', although you still have to rely on yourself to fight for it, but ...... Some of the resources I have in my hands are at your disposal without conditions......"
Speaking of this, seeing Du Ziteng's eyes on his side, the corners of Du Qingrong's mouth slowly hooked up a smug and mysterious smile. After a pause, he continued: "I am a woman from a Taoist family, although I have never been to this kind of mysterious power at the ancient level, but for the 'Medicine Pavilion', I am afraid that no one in the entire Du family can understand better than me......
"Giggle...... Don't believe me?"
Glancing at Du Ziteng, who was looking at himself up and down with a suspicious face, Du Qingrong smiled more and more proudly: "Do you really think that Sun Meimei is the blood and blood of me and the negative man of Cainan......'s Sun family?" That guy only loves his handmaid, even if I got married, he never looked at me once, how could he accompany me to bed and do that cloud and rain thing? Hahaha......"
Speaking of the deepest secret of this sect, Du Qingrong's love suddenly became crazy, as if it was mixed with monstrous hatred, and it seemed to contain unforgettable love, or perhaps, both!
And Du Ziteng, who was sitting opposite him, changed his face greatly after hearing these words!
A bold thought suddenly popped into his mind.
Since Sun Meimei's biological father is not the eldest child of the Sun family who has been missing for many years, and Du Jingrong suddenly mentioned this matter to herself at this moment, not to mention that no one in the entire Du family in the "Medicine Pavilion" can understand it more clearly and thoroughly than her......
Could it be ...... Is Sun Meimei's biological father actually a certain storage in the "Medicine Pavilion"?
This thought suddenly came to mind, and Du Ziteng fell into a state of stupor, as if he was directly blown stupid by a thunderbolt that slashed down!
"That's right, the truth is what you guessed it is!"
Raising her head and laughing wildly for a while, the resentment and pride in Du Qingrong's heart seemed to have some vent, she turned her head and glanced at Du Ziteng, her expression gradually became normal, and then said:
"Not long after marrying into the Sun family, I couldn't stand the sad pain of guarding my husband but not even being looked at, so I climbed a cliff alone, and I wanted to end my life...... For a woman, it is the time when she is extremely vulnerable and in need of love, and by accident, we have a relationship in that mountain stream......"
Speaking of this, the expression on Du Jingrong's face gradually became obsessed, with a touch of yearning, and a touch of girlish shyness, even her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her voice was faintly more like a murmur:
"Those three days were the happiest time of my life, but it's a pity...... I didn't know until he was leaving, giggle...... It turned out that the real reason why he was reluctant to take me away was because he already had a wife, and that woman was still the beloved daughter of the head of his sect, which was related to his future and fate, no matter what, he ...... It is impossible for me to abandon his wife......"
"Alas!"
Hearing this, Du Ziteng couldn't help but sigh faintly!
This woman has a lot of fate......
