uld only nod: "Yesterday was the daughter-in-law's fault, mother is magnanimous and didn't hold it against me."Seeing her well-behaved, Lady Wu An finally smiled: "Let's go."Gu Xuanyi responded and fo...Yongchang Marquis Mansion's Main Gate.
The gate opened wide enough for one person to pass through. Mrs. Sun, with a cloth stuffed in her mouth by the old women, was pulled out by two of them without any ceremony. She stumbled and fell to the ground, pain contorting her face as she let out a sharp hiss.
Seeing this, the two old women thought about it but still didn't go forward to help. The master had said, don't be polite to Mrs. Sun. If they don't cooperate, use force. They were only following orders.
Otherwise, if they fail to complete the task, those who will be punished are them.
Even if the young master and the second young lady cause them trouble, they can push the blame onto their grandfather. They were only following their grandfather's orders.
Sun stood up from the ground, pointing at the two women, her red-rimmed eyes glaring at them as she cried, unable to utter a complete sentence: “You... you...”
One of the midwives said, “Miss Sun, this is all the master's orders. We are just following instructions. If you have any questions, you can go find the master and ask him."
Miss Sun
Upon hearing this long-forgotten address, Sun shi was momentarily stunned. Her mind flashed back to the scenes from over a decade ago, when she was still a carefree daughter of the Sun family, her father was alive, and their family was well-off, unlike their present destitute state.
She was beautiful and many young men were attracted to her, including the scholar recommended by her father who had passed the imperial examination. He was an ordinary-looking scholar from a poor family with the scholarly air one would expect, and his brow radiated an aura of integrity. He seemed destined to become a righteous and incorruptible official, and indeed he did.
At that time, the young man was invited by his father to visit the Sun family. When he saw her, he was stunned for a moment and when he came to his senses, his face had turned red. He hurriedly bowed and apologized, stammering: "Miss Sun, I... I was rude."
What a wonderful young man.
It was just that she looked down on such people back then. Now, looking back on that person, she feels more and more that she was wrong. If she had married him, she would have definitely lived a happy life, but there's no going back.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the midwife didn't know what she was thinking about. She wasn't interested anyway and simply said: "Miss Sun, we'll stop here. You can go now."
Having said that, the woman then told the doorman to close the door.
At the moment of shutting the door, before it was completely closed, another old woman said: "Bah! How old is she A single, elderly woman, and you still call her Miss Sun In my opinion, calling her Mrs. Sun would be more appropriate."
The midwife laughed and said, "That's the Second Miss and Young Master's mother; we have to show her some respect."
Another midwife chuckled and did not continue the topic.
Sun stood at the doorstep, staring blankly as the vermilion gate closed. She stood there for a long while before turning around, her eyes drifting across the road ahead. After a moment, she stepped down the steps.
As soon as Mrs. Sun stepped down, it began to rain from the sky. The rain fell heavily, drenching her in no time.
The late autumn rain was a bit chilly, and her thin rough cloth coat had soaked through. Mrs. Sun couldn't help but shiver, quickening her pace. All she wanted now was to get home quickly and be the Miss Sun of the Sun family again.
Perhaps it was the strong desire to return home, but despite her frail body, Mrs. Sun managed to walk all the way back to the front door of her family home.
By the time she gritted her teeth and insisted on returning to Sun's doorstep, it was already past midnight. The autumn rain had long stopped, leaving only a chilly autumn wind blowing gently. She shivered from the cold, her face as pale as paper.
Sun held herself tightly, rubbed her arms, and then went to knock on the door.
Soon, the doorman came out to check on things. Seeing Mrs. Sun in such a state of despair, he didn't recognize her at first and mistook her for some destitute refugee. With no patience, he barked, "Who are you If you're here to beg, scram! This isn't a place for begging!"
Sun Shi, upon hearing this, was immediately enraged and shouted: "Bold! Open your dog eyes wide and look properly at me! I am the mistress of the Sun family, let me in!"
The doorman was taken aback, then took a closer look at her. He realized that she really did seem to be the mistress of the Sun family. He was startled, but the master had instructed him that if the mistress returned, he should not let her in first and should instead report to the master and his wife. So, he賠 smiled and said, "It's dark, and my eyesight is poor, so I didn't recognize you as the mistress. It was truly my fault. Let me apologize to you. I will now inform the master and his wife. Please wait a moment."
As soon as the words left his mouth, the gatekeeper quickly shut the door and went to inform the master.
Sun looked at the tightly shut door, stunned for a moment. She cursed the gatekeeper in her heart, thinking that he was blind and had not greeted her when she returned home, leaving her to stand outside in the cold wind.
Soon, Sun Zhiyong and Yang came out. When they saw Sun, they were all stunned. Although she didn't look good in the morning, at least she was dressed properly. Now, how did she end up looking like a refugee
Sun Shi saw her elder brother and sister-in-law, and once again couldn't help but burst into tears: "Elder Brother, Elder Sister-in-law"
Sun Zhiyong frowned and asked, "How did you come back And why are you like this"
Sun's emotions were overwhelmed, she choked back tears as she told her brother and sister-in-law about how the Meng family treated her, hoping to receive comfort from them.
But reality often deviates from what we hope for.
Sun Zhiyong and Yang Shi's faces changed upon hearing this. The couple looked at each other, then nodded in unison. Their sister, who had been cast out for her many misdeeds, was the last person they wanted to let back into their home. They should have cut ties with her long ago to prevent rumors and gossip from harming them.
As soon as she arrived, Sun Zhiyong kicked Sun's wife to the ground. Before she could react, he began to berate her: "You poisonous woman! You did such a vicious thing, and you still have the face to come back You have disgraced our Sun family! From today onwards, you are no longer a member of our Sun family, and we, the Sun family, do not have such a venomous daughter!"
"Yang was also furious, "Our Sun family's daughters are all gentle and kind. How did you turn out to be such an oddity With a sister-in-law like you, the reputation of the girls in our family will be tarnished. You say how can you be so vicious and do such wicked things"
Sun Shi couldn't believe her ears. She never thought that her brother and sister-in-law, who had always been close to her, would treat her this way. They wouldn't even let her into their home and wanted to cut off all ties with her.
Seeing her like this, Yang suddenly felt a pang of sympathy. He took out a dozen copper coins and a few silver pieces from his pocket and stuffed them into her hand, saying coldly, "Don't blame your elder brother and sister-in-law for being heartless. Take this to find somewhere to stay. From now on, we won't be in contact anymore. We won't be your elder brother and sister-in-law anymore. From now on, we are strangers."
The couple didn't want to waste any more time talking to her, lest the neighbors laugh at them. They turned around and went inside, instructing the doorman to shut the door.
As the door closed, Sun's last hope was gone.es the arrival of this child.Gu Jingxi heard the laughter from behind him, turned his head to look back, and saw his little wife laughing so hard her flowers were trembling. The corners of his mouth...
