Chapter 177.2: Precise Words, Death Pardoning Gold Plaque

Sun Old Madam calmly got up and moved back. The Ding d.u.c.h.ess just instantly fell onto the ground, falling in a sorry state.

The people outside, hearing the movements, inwardly communicated with one another, eventually unable to bear it anymore and entering. Seeing that scene, they momentarily blanked, unsure as to what to do.

Sun Old Madam rather turned her head, Come in, and have your madam helped up.

Hearing this, they also didnt dare slight, swiftly entering. However, they all subconsciously and carefully avoided Sun Old Madam, just feeling this old madam was truly too scary. Their madam that had all of them tormented to exhaustion, in front of old madam, was just like a clown baring their fangs and brandis.h.i.+ng their claws, yet the old madam didnt even crease a single brow.

Once they had the person placed back, Sun Old Madam immediately called for them to get lost again. The Ding d.u.c.h.ess actually wanted to reach out to stop them, but as a result, the one that was within reach directly brushed her hand aside. After blanking for a moment, she began throwing a tantrum again.

Sun Old Madam poured a cup of lukewarm tea from the table and just lightly took a sip. Afterwards, she walked to the side of the recliner, pouring the whole cup over her head. This kind of thing, Ive also only personally done in those few years after marrying, and havent done in several decades. Bestowing it to you now, you should feel honored.

The tea water dripped downwards, not just wetting her hair, but also her whole face. Even her eyes seemingly all werent able to open.

Sun Old Madam had the cup placed back, then returning, Calmed down?

The Ding d.u.c.h.ess wiped the water droplets from her face, silent without a word.

En? Sun Old Madam questioned again.

Calmed down, mother, this daughter-in-law has calmed down. The Ding d.u.c.h.ess strangely felt the cold air spring up everywhere, s.h.i.+vering once, as she hurriedly opened her mouth.

Its good that youve calmed down. When nicely speaking with you, you wont listen, and insist on forcing me to use such methods. Perhaps, in the past, I was too benevolent towards you, and didnt have you educated properly, thats why you would become like this today?

Those words in front were considered nicely speaking? Then what would not nicely speaking look like? The Ding d.u.c.h.ess tugged the corner of her mouth. She has married into the Ding Duke Manor for several decades already, yet today was her first time seeing this mother-in-law actually having such a side to her. Then, thinking back to her words earlier, as expected, she was muddled in the head, no different from looking for death. She lowered her head, shrinking back.

However, regardless what youre like now, Im also too lazy to bother with you anymore. Wheres the thing?

That sandalwood jewelry box on the dressing table has a hidden layer underneath. The Ding d.u.c.h.ess mumbled.

Sun Old Madam walked over, picking up the jewelry box and directly flipping it over. Knocking on it, there werent any hollow sound, however the sound wasnt the same as with when knocking in other areas. Having it moved over the candle light, and carefully looking it over, she found the way to open it. Turns out, the inside was stuffed tightly by corks. No matter how it was shook, it all wont let out a sound. Sun Old Madam took out the brocade pouch, just using her hand through the cloth to feel around, and afterwards, just placed it into her sleeve. The jewelry box was returned to normal, and shortly after, without a second word, she just directly left.

The entire process, the Ding d.u.c.h.ess just blankly watched from the side, but she could only just watch, and couldnt say a single word. She had a feeling, if she really dared to refuse, then shell really be swept out the door, and Yi Lin will really be dragged into h.e.l.l with her, and her maiden family will also consider her a disgrace. Everything will all collapse. Turns out, the one that she thought was an amiable mother-in-law, when ruthless can even disregard the Ding Duke Manor reputation, and can even abandon her most beloved grandson.

As for whether or not her mother-in-law will have the thing given to Yi Jia, she didnt have the right to question. Regardless whether it was her mother-in-law, or Yi Jia, she all didnt have the qualifications.

As she was about to reach the door, Sun Old Madam suddenly turned back again, standing three steps away from the Ding d.u.c.h.ess, looking down on her from high above. Her face was no longer amicable, but rather genuinely cold and stern, For you to be able to sit securely and stably for several decades in the Ding Duke Manor, this mud pit, it can be seen, youre not a stupid one. Then, it can only mean that Yi Lin and Yi Jia are actually the same. When having yet to anger you, he can be loved, can be pampered, and you can care very much, but when he goes against your will, he similarly can be abandoned. Dont use for his sake as an excuse for everything, and dont have yourself flaunted as someone that n.o.ble, that selfless. One has to know, your true nature just happens to be the opposite. However, no matter how much more is said, its all useless. Yi Lin probably also said quite a few things to you before, and at the time, perhaps you even reflected upon yourself once. But afterwards? You would just remember getting disobeyed. Truly unreasonable to the extreme.

If saying is useless, then its just to take action. If you settle down a little and know your place, Ill let you die of old age in the Ding Duke Manor. If youre restless, then Ill let you suddenly die of an illness and throw your corpse into the messy corpse pit

[1]

to feed the wild dogs. Finding a corpse to take your place in getting buried into the Sun family ancestral tombs isnt anything too troublesome either. This last chance, you better think carefully. Otherwise, even if I die first, before dying, Ill still dispose of you first. Also, dont think to pretend to be quiet now, and wait for me to die to stir up trouble. You can greatly rest a.s.sured, regardless of what scenario, I will all have your arrangements taken care of appropriately.

The Ding d.u.c.h.ess watched her figure disappear through the door. Outside the door, it was already pitch black, unable to see anything. She violently trembled, her body going limp.

For people, after dying, it was all about the falling leaf returning to its roots, entering the earth to rest, and enjoying the incenses offered by ones descendants. This mother-in-law would rather randomly find someone to replace her, than to leave her a way out, insisting on severing all her paths! Comparing means, who can compete against her?

She selfishly thought having managed the Ding Duke Manor for this many years, even if not controlled air-tight, she at least still had more than half of the power in hand. But, just look at the people serving by her side, the ones that were viewed as her trusted aide. From their att.i.tude in front of the old madam, one can just know, the things she a.s.sumed were all just a joke. Only when she doesnt have that power taken seriously, you are able to wield it in hand. But when she takes it seriously, then you can just move to the side.

Prior to the current emperor ascending the throne, there similarly was a b.l.o.o.d.y struggle. Her father-in-law was much stronger than her husband, the current Ding Duke, but in the end, wasnt the Ding Duke Manor was still single-handedly dominated by her mother-in-law. Because one had seen her amicable face for too long, just a.s.sumed that she really was amiable? And just because she didnt hinder, just believed that she wasnt skilled in schemes and tricks? Heh

Her weak body appeared lifeless and empty. Was she really that kind of person?

Yet turns out, the one you care about the most is yourself. You dont allow others to ignore you, dont allow others to disobey you. Once we cross your bottom line, you will go mad, losing your rationality, disregarding all consequences, only wanting to satisfy yourself.

Sun Yi Lins words repeatedly echoed by her ear. What once were unconcerning words, treated as the wind by her ear, forgetting with a turn of her head, right now, was instead like having been carved into her heart. She wanted to deny with all her might, telling herself, she really was just wholeheartedly considering for Yi Lin. However, the truth was actually, if she really considered for him, then she should have helped him marry back the girl he liked, letting him carry a happy smile, letting him give birth to a chubby grandson for her sooner, she holding her grandson, and they, this couple, watching with a smile to the side

Imagining that kind of scene, her tears uncontrollably slipped out from the corner of her eye, disappearing into her hair.

Also, Yi Jia, she originally should be able to hold an outer grandson after several months

Because the place was small, the courtyards were naturally limited. The Ding d.u.c.h.ess was sick, thus they didnt have her arranged in the same courtyard as the Ding Duke. Moreover, the Ding Duke right now also exceptionally disdained seeing her.
