Chapter 555: Chapter 555: Father’s Understanding_1

“Ruoruo, you…” Mrs. Yun stopped midsentence.

Wei Ruo sneered, “I had already directly questioned you earlier, did you ever once believe me? You never did; you only believe in what you think and what Wei Qingwan told you. Even just now, you were still focused on protecting Wei Qingwan.”

“No, it’s not that your mother only cares about protecting Wanwan… it’s that you are more competent, can handle things on your own and don’t need your mother’s protection, Wanwan is different…” Mrs. Yun defended.

“There’s no difference, it’s not that I don’t need it, but rather, you’ve never thought to protect me.”

“That’s not true, it’s just that there wasn’t an opportunity, your mother also wants good things for you.” Mrs. Yun tried to explain.

Wei Ruo interrogated Mrs. Yun, “Alright then, let me ask you, when you all fabricated my birthdate to give me a fake destiny, which led to a bad reputation that almost resulted in me staying single forever. When I was facing society’s accusations, did you ever think to step in and set things right?”

“This…” Mrs. Yun was lost for words.

Mrs. Yun never expected that after such a long time, Qingruo would bring up old grievances.

Back then, she hadn’t shown the slightest dissatisfaction, nor had she ever raised any objections to her.

“But now, you already found the husband of your dreams.” Mrs. Yun said.

“Yes, I did indeed find the husband of my dreams now, but what if I hadn’t? Have you ever thought about the predicament I’d be in?” Wei Ruo retorted.

Indeed, the erroneous birthdate was deliberately devised by Wei Ruo, intending to stay unmarried was also her intention.

But in Mrs. Yun’s understanding, a woman is supposed to marry into a good family, bear children and she had always adhered to this principle.

Given this, facing the possibility that Wei Ruo might remain unmarried for life, she never considered revealing Wei Ruo’s origins and letting people know Wei Ruo’s actual birthdate.

“That… that was a desperate measure… What if someone found out, what would happen to Wanwan?” Mrs. Yun tried to justify herself.

Looking at the cold face of Wei Ruo, Mrs. Yun continued, “Ruoruo, it’s not that I don’t care about your reputation. At that time, Wanwan had already received the decree to become the prince’s concubine, if we spoke up then, we would be deceiving the emperor!”

“Don’t keep bringing up the crime of deceiving the emperor. If you’re truly afraid of that, Wei Qingwan’s origin is the biggest deception against the emperor in the Wei Family! Ultimately, you still favor Wei Qingwan first and never intended to do anything for me, not simply because there was no opportunity as you claimed earlier.” Wei Ruo said coldly.

Mrs. Yun was speechless again.

Wei Ruo continued, “So stop telling me to save you face. Aside from having given me life, you’ve shown no other kindness. If you expect me to make concessions for you, to consider your feelings, I will tell you, it’s not going to happen.”

After speaking so definitively, Wei Ruo gave Xiumei a glance, and Xiumei immediately took Mrs. Yun away.

“Ruoruo!” Mrs. Yun tried unsuccessfully to stop Wei Ruo again.

But Wei Ruo didn’t give her another chance.

“Ruoruo! Ruoruo! ….”

Mrs. Yun kept calling out to Wei Ruo who was walking away, but Wei Ruo acted as if she didn’t hear her.

Wei Qingwan, weakened by the stress, slumped against the door frame as she watched Wei Ruo walk away.

How did things turn out this way? Earlier… it was only out of a moment of jealousy that she had made a few comments in front of Wei Qingruo. Who would’ve thought it would escalate into this?
