Chapter 1982: Chapter 1982: It Must Be Chushui’s
But clearly there was nothing.
Was what he said wrong? Luo Qiuyi had died, and it had been so many years. Could it be right to pursue the living for the sake of a deceased person’s cris?
“Mother, what’s gotten into you? Why are you scolding
again?”
He was, after all, the head of the family. It was fortunate that no one overheard this; had the servants heard it, wouldn’t he have lost face?
“If I don’t scold you, you won’t ever co to your senses!”
Old Madam Yue’s palms heavily struck the table, her face full of rage as she glared at Yue Chong.
“Do you really think it’s justified that Luo Mianyi caused the death of her sister, who loved her so dearly? Or do you believe that all of Qiuyi’s sacrifices for you over the years were justified, even if it ant dying for you, and that was the retribution she deserved?”
“I…”
Yue Chong was left speechless by his own mother.
Luo Qiuyi had been dead for so many years; he could hardly rember what she looked like anymore.
Yet, Luo Mianyi had always been by his side, and so had the two children Luo Mianyi bore him. Of course, he cared more about Luo Mianyi, what was wrong with that?
“It seems that you really do believe that all the suffering Chushui has endured over the years is justified.”
Just as he was at a loss on how to express what he believed to be right, he heard his mother’s faint voice.
“Chushui has been hard by Luo Mianyi to such an extent, and Qiuyi was even killed. Yet here you are, shalessly claiming Luo Mianyi is Chushui’s aunt. Yue Chong, do you realize if Chushui learns of this, then Luo Mianyi becos the murderer of his own mother!”
“Uh.”
Yue Chong choked on her words.
These years Yue Chushui had also suffered; this he knew all too well.
But after all, he had two other sons. It wasn’t as if Yue Chushui was his only son; he couldn’t neglect to consider the well-being of Ze’er and Hao’er.
“Sigh.”
Old Madam Yue sighed deeply, looking at her disappointing son, and on his face, she couldn’t see a trace of guilt; rather, it seed as though he believed his son’s suffering was indeed deserved.
“Yue Chong, it appears you never really considered Chushui your son. So be it.”
“Mother, you…”
“Whether you consider Chushui your son or not is no longer important.”
Yue Chong wanted to speak, but Old Madam Yue gave him no chance and raised her hand to stop him.
“However, the position of the young lord of the Yue Clan must undoubtedly go to Chushui. If you harbor any other intentions, then it truly may be ti for the Yue Clan to et its end.”
“Mother, why must it be Chushui? Tianze is also very gifted, he…”
Yue Chong still wanted to make a case for Yue Tianze, whom he viewed as the desired heir. As for Yue Chushui, it would be fine for him to be an idle Eldest Young Master in the future.
But would Old Madam Yue give him the chance?
“He is not Old Madam Luo’s direct biological grandson!” Old Madam Yue interrupted him sharply.
“Yue Chong, do you really think that Old Madam Luo only sched against the Yue Clan in secret and never took a heavy hand because of you, her son-in-law? Or because of Luo Mianyi, the woman who killed her own daughter?
It’s because she didn’t want her own biological grandson, after taking over the Yue Clan, to risk his life paying for the mistakes you and Luo Mianyi made. If you don’t hand over the Yue Clan to Chushui, why should she spare the Yue Clan?”
