Chapter 175 We are all women
Cang Yue Kingdom - Quezhou - Noble House
At night, the Guiren Pavilion is always bustling with song and dance. The dice on the gambling tables are rolling, the shouts are endless, and the singing and dancing in the hall never stops all night. To Ye Ling, this is the modern version of "Night Shanghai".
Ye Ling, Su Su and You Ming Lang were chatting while eating.
Yue Chi arrived as scheduled: "I've become accustomed to coming here at night. I really can't sleep!" He looked at the neighboring table: "Why isn't Master Yuan joining us?"
"They won't let me go," Yuan Jialin complained immediately.
"No, no, no, are you having a quarrel? For my sake, let's all come together!" Yue Chi was also in a difficult position. After all, he was the clan leader's son, and he couldn't join these children in isolating him. "Envoy Ye, can you let him come over and sit with us?"
"Envoy Ye, Envoy Yue is right, don't be so rude to a young boy," Youminglang said. He didn't want Ye Ling to be embarrassed when he met Yuan Jialin's father in the future, so he advised.
"I never said from the beginning to the end that I didn't want him to sit with me. But when we came out tonight, he sat at the next table. What can I do? I don't know how I offended Young Master Yuan." Ye Ling turned the tables.
Yue Chi immediately looked at the people at the next table and said, "Master Yuan, this is your fault. Although you are the son of the Sect Master, you are also a member of the Tianzi Hall of Langya Pavilion. Since you have entered Langya Pavilion, you must abide by the rules and not be rude to your superiors. Ye Ling is the Chief Envoy."
"You have entered Langya Pavilion? And are you still in Brother Mo's Tianzi Hall?" Su Su was a little surprised.
At this moment, Jinniang arrived. She knelt slightly and saluted: "Greetings to all the gentlemen, and to the owner of this building."
"Come on, sit down. Master Youlou has allowed you to familiarize yourself with the environment, so you will be free for the next two days," said Ye Ling.
Jinniang looked at Youminglang. This was her future master, so he had to know the rules.
"Please sit down!" said Youminglang.
"Yes." Jinniang then sat next to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling patted the seat between her and You Ming Lang and said, "Su Su, come over and sit here."
Su Su obediently took her bowl and chopsticks and sat between the two of them: "This position feels very safe. I have two brothers to protect me."
Yue Chi sat next to Jin Niang, so Yuan Jialin could only sit between You Ming Lang and Yue Chi. The table was not big and just enough for six people.
Ye Ling said, "Jinniang, let me introduce you. This is my sister-in-law Susu, and my brother's surname is Mo. This is Yue Chi, the envoy of Langya Pavilion. You have met him before. He is Yuan Jialin."
"I'm also from Langya Pavilion," Yuan Jialin added.
Jinniang was panicking. Everyone at this table was a prominent figure. She nodded slightly and said, "Hello, Envoy Yue, Master Yuan, and Madam Mo."
Su Su immediately covered her face with her hands and smiled shyly: "Hello Miss Jin, is your last name Jin?"
Jinniang shook her head slightly: "I don't know my last name."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked," Su Su quickly apologized.
"It's okay, ma'am, you don't have to say that."
"You haven't gotten married yet, why call me Madam?" Yuan Jialin couldn't help but speak.
"I like to hear this name," Su Su retorted.
"Susu, you are an unmarried girl, how can you say such things?" Yuan Jialin habitually taught her.
"Is it your business?" Su Su, learning from Ye Ling, also became tough: "Cousin, tell me, why did you come here this time?"
"I...I'm not doing this for you, am I? Grandfather and mother are both concerned about your safety, and Mo Sishi actually threw you to Ye Sishi. What if something happens?" Yuan Jialin said with confidence.
Ye Ling sneered, "Master Yuan is really good at showing off. Why did you leave your sister-in-law with me? Don't you have any idea of what's going on? She's been living in dire straits in the Su Mansion for more than a decade. Where were you? Now that she's happy, you feel unhappy and come to stop her. Who the hell do you think you are?"
"Emissary Ye, although I am not as high-ranking as you, I am not afraid of you. I am talking to my cousin. What does it have to do with you?"
"Of course, the eldest brother is the father, the eldest sister-in-law is the mother, and I am brother Ling's..." Su Su felt something was wrong and quickly stopped talking.
"Pfft...hehe..." Everyone present except Yuan Jialin was amused.
Ye Ling asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I treat you as my sister, but you want to be my mother?"
"That's not what I meant." Su Su's face turned even redder. "Anyway, Brother Ling is my family. She has the final say in my affairs."
"Why? You've only known each other for a few days? We grew up together." Yuan Jialin was confused. "You even told them about your family's affairs. Don't you know that dirty laundry should not be aired in public?"
Ye Ling was unhappy: "Why? Sister-in-law, let me tell you, family disgrace must be made public. If others can do it, why can't you? Otherwise, others will pretend to be pitiful, and you will be left speechless. You will have no one to vent your bitterness. If you don't tell others, are you just waiting for them to bully you again?"
"Yes, Brother Ling is right," Su Su agreed completely.
"You..." Yuan Jialin was angry again: "Cousin, are you really devoted to me? Are you really planning to marry Mo Yufeng? I know you must be mad at me, right?"
"Wait a moment!" Yue Chi couldn't bear to hear it any longer. "Master Yuan, you're going too far. The marriage between Yufeng and the young lady was arranged by Senior Tongfeng, the old Pavilion Master. The young lady and Yufeng love each other very much, and they're planning to have their wedding next month. You're coming out now to try to stop it. Aren't you being a little inappropriate?"
Yuan Jialin's face flushed crimson, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Envoy Yue, this is none of your business. Stop meddling in other people's business."
Yue Chi, however, was not afraid at all and was a little angry: "Master Yuan, if you continue to act like this, don't blame me for being rude."
Yuan Jialin was afraid of Yue Chi, because the most ruthless and cruel person in the entire Langya Pavilion was the Renzi Hall's Sishi. He could only suppress his anger and asked again: "Cousin, I'll ask you one last time, are you really going to get married, or are you just trying to piss me off?"
Su Su was completely speechless: "Yuan Jialin, listen carefully, I am Mrs. Mo now, please don't disturb my life anymore, thank you."
"Why? I've been sincere to you for so many years, and it's worthless? Don't you feel indebted?" Yuan Jialin stood up and asked loudly.
Youminglang, Yeling, and Yuechi's expressions immediately changed, and they wished they could slap the shameless guy to death. Jinniang could only sit quietly, not daring to breathe.
Su Su started to cry, and she stood up as well: "Yuan Jialin, can you honestly say that I've ever treated you badly? You know better than anyone what I've lost, what I've gained, and what I've paid for. If I have to say what I owe you, you owe me too much. How many times in a lifetime can you be so resolute to do something you know is impossible? I used to use my sincerity as a bargaining chip, betting my vision, staking my everything, but you told me that my sincerity is worthless. The road to love is long and arduous, and it all depends on conscience. Now that I have a home, you still want to disrupt things. Do you really mean it?"
"Su Su" You Minglang felt inexplicably distressed. At this moment, he might be thinking of his dead sister.
Yuan Jialin was stunned. He had never thought that Su Su would say such words. After a long while, he spoke: "I... I just thought you..."
"What do you think?" Su Su wiped away her tears. "Yuan Jialin, you've underestimated my ruthlessness. I hate it most when people try to temper me and mess with my mindset over and over again. Don't test me. Once I dislike someone, I'll lose interest in them."
"You weren't like this before. Mo Yufeng pursued you for two years but you didn't agree. Why did you fall in love with him in just this year? Why?" Yuan Jialin was a little disregarding his image.
"Let me tell you why," Ye Ling said slowly. "A woman who's used to being protected by wolves will never fall in love with a dog. Because no matter how unruly a wolf is, it will only recognize one mate in its entire life, and they'll often risk their lives for that mate. Dogs are different. They'll wag their tails at whoever feeds them, and they have habits they can't change. As the saying goes: A wolf will travel a thousand miles to eat meat, a dog a thousand miles to eat shit."
"Master Yuan," Jinniang couldn't help but speak up. "Although I don't know what happened between you, please don't think a soft-hearted woman is easy to bully. Don't treat her like a soft persimmon. Every time she's silent, she's sharpening her knife. Don't strike lightly, because if she does, it's a dead end!"
Jinniang's few words made Ye Ling and the others look at her with admiration.
"Okay, okay, I understand. I won't disturb you anymore." Yuan Jialin turned and left.
Ye Ling pulled Su Su and said, "Sit down, stop crying. It's not worth it for such a person. Remember: if you can't satisfy a person's heart, remember to withdraw your enthusiasm; if you can't support a relationship, remember to pick up your self-esteem; there must be limits to tolerance, and there must be standards for tolerance; you must have principles in life and have a bottom line in doing things; you must choose the right person to respond to requests, and you must choose the right person to be open-hearted to!"
Su Su nodded: "Brother Ling, I will write down every word you say, because I will need it in the future; Jinniang, thank you for speaking up for me just now."
Jinniang smiled slightly: "We are all women, no need to thank me."
Su Su wiped her tears, "I just don't understand. I was the one who suffered so much injustice, but in the end it was still my fault. I was even wrong to find my own happiness. When he blamed me, he couldn't look back and see what he had done to me. I have tried very hard to control my emotions, but I still can't help wanting to cry. I broke down thinking about it. In the past, I thought he was different from others, but I didn't expect that he was the one who came to take half my life. He never dared to hurt others, but he swallowed everything by himself and almost drove himself crazy."
"Don't cry. It won't look good if you continue crying, right?" Ye Ling comforted.
You Ming Lang spoke slowly, "Some people become stranger the more you look at them, and some things become more heartbreaking the more you think about them. It's not that you're overthinking, but the details are hurtful enough. Time can't heal everything. Some things, even years later, still break your heart. The only thing that can heal you is the relief and understanding you feel after seeing through everything."
Su Su pursed his lips and nodded: "Thank you, Brother You. I really didn't expect that in the end, the one who really protected me was the person I met on the road."
"Silly girl, I won't say anymore," Ye Ling said.
