Marriage in crisis

I sighed and remained silent, thinking to myself, how should I tell her.

But she automatically gave me an entry point.

"Rong Yu,...Oh, your husband! He has asked his subordinates to give me directions! Then let's start with Wen Minji and her daughter!" Rong Yingluo looked at me and said.

"Oh?... He wants to help you too?" I deliberately showed a look of surprise so as to give her some face.

She has never experienced the beatings of setbacks and is too fragile. I have to know when to stop.

"Yes!" As expected, she felt a little more confident.

"Aunt, I think you should first think about what you want to know and what kind of result you want to get." I looked at her and helped her sort out the direction.

She looked at me blankly, her eyes somewhat empty.

To be honest, at this moment, I suddenly felt a little pity for this seemingly high and mighty eldest lady of the Rong family, the new young master.

She actually behaved in such a helpless manner.

I patted her arm again and said, "I get it!"

Then I sighed, "Aunt, what I'm going to say next is not meant to belittle you, nor to stimulate your thoughts. Instead, I'm going to help you sort out your thoughts from the perspective of a relative or friend. Is that okay with you?"

She nodded, "Okay, go ahead!"

"First, what do you want to know?" I asked, looking at her.

She swallowed, her mouth twitching a little nervously. I know it's not easy to get over this hurdle. It's really hard for her to put down her pride and her self-proclaimed superior status.

"I want... to know why my father hid all the important things from me." She began.

I suddenly felt relieved.

"The focus of the Rong family, right?" I said.

She shook her head. "It's not just about the Rong family anymore. I suddenly felt that although I was put in the position of the head of the family, I actually knew nothing about the Rong family and everything related to it. I'm even worse than a housekeeper of the Rong family."

She told the truth.

"Did you discover this suddenly, or was it just a guess?" I asked again.

She smiled self-deprecatingly and said in a heavy tone, "I have confirmed it!"

"Maybe they are protecting you?" I reminded her, analyzing it from many angles. "That possibility cannot be ruled out."

Rong Yingluo shook her head and smiled bitterly, "No, even if it's protection, it's unfair to me. To me, this is a humiliation.

I am an adult. Since I have been given this responsibility, but you are still "protecting" me like a baby in swaddling clothes, is this reasonable? Even a servant is watching me, what kind of young master am I? Why push me up? I have no intention of competing for the position of head of the family."

The look she gave me was stubborn and resistant.

"He could have handed this position over to someone more suitable. At the beginning, he forced the position of the head of the family on me, and many people opposed it, but he still insisted on doing so. I don't know why."

Rong Yingluo was a little excited. Her pale face suddenly turned angry and red, with the corners of her eyes bloodshot.

I patted her gently to calm her down.

Seeing that I was still chatting with Rong Yingluo, Chi Xi went inside to get a cushion and put it on me so that I could sit more comfortably.

"Aunt, once you know that what is happening here is really unacceptable to you, have you ever thought about how you should face it?" I asked again.

Rong Yingluo's face turned pale. She looked at the sky in the distance of Si Mansion and said faintly, "In fact, I really don't know how I should face it! Everyone knows that I am the supreme eldest daughter of the Rong family. Because there are too few girls in the Rong family, and I am the youngest daughter of my father, he dotes on me and protects me. But he shouldn't fool me!"

Do I understand what she meant by this sentence?

Rong Yingluo continued, "Since my mother passed away, my father has been my only world. He can give me whatever I want, and even the moon if I want the stars.

But I don't know since when he has been so wary of me, imprisoning me in a dry well, and all I can see is a small world as big as the well mouth."

"You... have never noticed anything unusual or any clues before?" I asked seriously.

Rong Yingluo shook her head and smiled bitterly, "No! If you hadn't woken me up, I really wouldn't have realized that I was actually an outsider in the Rong family."
