Marriage in crisis

Rong Yingluo's words startled me and I took a moment to think about what it meant.

However, Rong Yingluo continued, "Am I the young master? Then I am really ridiculous as the young master. I don't even know anything about my own home? In my own home, I was ridiculed and insulted by the person I hate the most, and you didn't even say a word..."

This sentence almost made me laugh. I didn't expect Rong Yingluo could be so vulgar.

"Bastard!" Old Man Rong shouted angrily.

"Am I a bastard? I just don't understand why you obey him so blindly? Are you afraid of him?" Rong Yingluo stared at her father.

"Nonsense?" Old Man Rong said angrily.

"Nonsense?...Ha! Then you believed him and locked me up. Do you trust me so much? Then one day in the future, when you go to the west, you want to take me with you, right?" Rong Yingluo actually dared to say that. She was openly cursing her father to death!

"Then let me tell you, I'm not repenting as you said. It's my mother who came to see me. She is in this room. She is here all the time." Rong Yingluo said it sincerely.

I saw the short servant take a step back for no apparent reason, fear in his eyes.

Rong Yingluo continued to talk nonsense, "She was the one who let me live. She said that you have no right to take my life. She wanted me to watch how you make the Rong family flourish."

After Rong Yingluo finished speaking, she lay back down helplessly, but she was still talking, "You keep saying that you love me and spoil me! To the outside world, I am the apple of your eye, but... you watched helplessly as the person who ruined my life continued to speak rudely to me in my own home. You really spoil me!"

After saying that, she smiled brightly, "Go now! Don't make any porridge for me, just keep me locked up. If I have a chance to live, I'll live. If I don't, I'll go find my mother. Anyway, I've lived enough.

From the moment my mother died, I was destined to lose all the true love in this world. If I die, you will be relieved and no longer have to be on guard against me. I see you don’t want me to live!”

Rong Yingluo actually started to babble, and it sounded like she was just a child talking. She really was full of the spirit of a child who was spoiled and was being praised to death for being bad.

I understood it all at once; this was Rong Yingluo's way.

Willful! Proud! Rude!

It seems that one is still young until death!

"You are not a child anymore, there must be a limit to your willfulness! Some things are not what they seem on the surface. Do you think it is so easy for you to call the shots in the Chinese community as a young master? Then..." Old man Rong scolded angrily.

But Rong Yingluo waved her hand in annoyance, "Alright... stop giving your high-sounding reasons here, just let me fend for myself and that's fine! Go and do your brilliant career! May it last forever, and may you live forever too! Long live you, long live you, long live you!"

After saying that, Rong Yingluo turned over capriciously and faced Old Man Rong.

Old Man Rong was so angry that he took two steps on the spot! Just as he was about to speak again, Rong Yingluo suddenly yelled, "Get out, I don't want to see you! I don't have a father! Get out!"

Old Man Rong glanced at Rong Yingluo lying on the bed, stomped his feet, turned around and left.

The maid stepped back again and again, then chased after him and asked, "... Old Master... Is this door closed or not?"

"... Shut it off! Let her continue thinking!" An angry roar from old man Rong came from outside.

The woman quickly ran to the door, came in, took the tray, and then closed and locked the door.

It was quiet outside.

Only then did Rong Yingluo pull the quilt away from Chi Xi.

Chi Xi immediately sat up, looked at Rong Yingluo and asked, "You just said that your mother was also locked in this room and died?"

Rong Yingluo exhaled heavily, then nodded seriously, "Yes, this is a secret that few people know. I was very young at the time and just had memories. I knew that my mother was seriously ill, and it was an infectious disease. So I specially built this room and no one was allowed to get close."

"Didn't you go to the hospital?" Chi Xi asked doubtfully.

"Everyone said that it was my mother who didn't want to go to the hospital. She didn't want to leave her home. They also said that my father loved his wife deeply and didn't want to disappoint her, so he agreed not to let her go to the hospital and let her stay by his side." Rong Yingluo smiled bitterly, "The only person who came into contact with my mother at the time was Aunt Chen. She said that my mother suddenly fell ill and became very ill."

"So do you still remember what the situation was? Or whether you heard about it or not, what did people say?" Chi Xi asked.

I suddenly realized what Chi Xi meant by asking this question.

My heart started beating wildly for no apparent reason and I quickly glanced at Wei Qingchuan.

Wei Qingchuan made a gesture to keep quiet, indicating that I should continue listening.
