The atmosphere in the main hall of the Shui family became solemn. Mrs. Shui really couldn't bear to see her son disobeying her for a woman like this, "Shui Xuanming, do you still regard me as your mother?"
Shui Xuanming is also in a dilemma. On one side is his biological mother who worked hard to raise him, and on the other is his beloved woman. Why can't they live in harmony? What a perfect family life that would be.
"Mother, I have always listened to your words, practiced hard, and taken charge of the Shui family. Can you obey your son's wishes for once and make your son and Furong happy? My son kneels down to you."
Shui Xuanming was admired by everyone at home and rarely knelt down to others, including his biological parents. Now he knelt down on the spot for a woman. The Shui family's aunt became even more angry, "I will never agree, please send this woman away quickly."
, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude.”
"Mother, since you insist on doing this, I have no choice but to leave the Shui family with Furong. Please forgive my son for being unfilial."
"You treacherous son, you are so angry with me." Shui Tianming's mother was also a high-level monk, but she was so angry that she couldn't breathe. It was obvious that she was really angry.
The woman in the hall hurriedly stood up, went to Mrs. Shui's side to help her calm down, and said to the man in the hall: "Cousin, you know that your aunt is not in good health, how can you be so angry with her? If there is something wrong with your aunt, you are anxious
It's you, why don't you quickly apologize to your aunt?"
Shui Xuanming hurriedly admitted his mistake, "Mother, it's my fault. Don't worry."
"That's it. Cousin, don't say anything about leaving the Shui family. Auntie worked hard to train you just to let you take over the responsibility of the Shui family. How can you give up your own responsibilities?"
Shui Xuanming felt a sense of shame in his heart, "I was just in a moment of impatience. I really shouldn't have abandoned the family's responsibility for the sake of my children."
Tang Yue understood clearly that Shui Xuanming was an easily swayed person. He would side with whomever his feelings tended towards. Just now, the love in his heart was greater than the love between mother and child, so he and Meng Furong were about to leave the Shui family. Now
The guilt for his mother was greater than the love in his heart, so he had to stay in the Shui family. No wonder he and Meng Furong ended up like that.
Mother Shui felt much better when she heard that her son would not leave home. She took the time to glance at Meng Furong, wondering what this woman's expression would be like after hearing that her son had changed her mind.
But she found that the other party was eating pastries with interest next to her. She was very angry. Her son was going to break up with her because of this woman, but she seemed to be watching a play and didn't care.
The mistress asked the woman who had brought her son back, "My son wants to leave the Shui family for you. What do you say?"
Tang Yue replied calmly: "Your son is already an adult and has been traveling for many years. He should make his own decision. I respect his choice."
When Shui Xuanming heard the words of his beloved woman, he immediately remembered that the person Meng Furong originally loved was not him. It was only after he had worked hard for several months and promised many things that he finally moved her and brought her back.
If he fails to fulfill his promise, Rong Mei will definitely turn around and leave, never to be found again, and then she will be worse off than dead.
Shui Xuanming kowtowed, "Please mother, please help me and Furong. This is my choice and my decision will not change."
Mrs. Shui was so angry that she threw a tea cup, "How could I give birth to such a worthless thing like you?"
Love is so dangerous, it can make people want to abandon their parents and relatives. Tang Yue sighed as he thought of this.
The young woman heard her sigh and said, "Miss Meng, you probably don't want to see your cousin disobeying his parents and leaving the family. Please advise your cousin not to let the matter get to an irreversible point."
Tang Yue took a sip of tea first and asked: "Who are you?"
The woman's face turned ugly, as if she had been humiliated.
The mistress couldn't help but say, "You have lived at home for so many days, you should have met Chunjiao. She is my niece. She comes from a merchant and is also an upper-class family in Wuji Mountain."
"Oh, I really didn't remember it. I don't remember people or things that I don't need to remember. I come from the Meng family, a hidden family in Xianyuan Mountain."
Tang Yue heard from Murong Hai that Meng Furong might be from here, no matter whether he reveals it first or not.
Shui Xuanming was surprised. Rong Mei never told her origins. Everyone just guessed that her family must be extraordinary. Although there is not much news about the Meng family, there are some legends. It is said that she is a descendant of the goddess and is good at illusions.
Rong Mei's illusion skills are indeed superb, and none of them can compare with her.
Shui Xuanming felt happy after thinking about this. Rongmei only revealed her family background to him. Does this mean that she really wanted to stay, but she didn't seem to be in a hurry.
After the mistress heard that she was from the Meng family, she immediately changed her attitude and no longer regarded the other party as a wild woman who simply climbed high.
"Miss Meng, since you also come from a high-ranking family, you must understand the importance of the bloodline of your heirs, and you can also understand the difficulty of me as a mistress. The rules of the Shui family are there, and I cannot defy them. I hope Miss Meng can go through the process, and we
I’m also looking forward to this child.”
The other party's expression changed so quickly that people were caught off guard. Tang Yue sighed inwardly, Meng Furong was too idealistic and wanted to gain a foothold in the world on her own, so she suffered a lot. She was completely different from a pragmatist like her.
.
"Okay, I can go to the Shui Family Ancestral Hall."
"Thank you, Miss Meng, for your understanding."
"Mrs. Shui, you don't have to be like this. This is what I should do."
Shui Xuanming, who was kneeling on the ground, was happy and worried. He was happy that Rongmei was willing to give in for him, but he was worried about what would happen if she passed the test of Bu Liao Ancestral Hall and still couldn't stay in the Shui family?
Shang Chunjiao next to Mrs. Shang was not very happy. She thought that she was just a wild woman who came to the house, and the Shui family would not allow her to enter the house.
Now she found out that the other party's family background was not low, and in the worst case scenario, she would replace her as the future mistress of the Shui family. How could she be willing to accept this?
The status of women in the world of immortal cultivators has improved a lot, but in essence, men are still respected, resources are tilted towards male cultivators, and women are proud to be the mistress of a wealthy family.
In addition, the master of the house has a much higher chance of ascending with him than the female cultivator who cultivates on her own. Shui Xuan has outstanding talents, so he will definitely be able to ascend without any accident.
That's why Shang Chunjiao cares so much about the position of the future mistress of the Shui family. This is a shortcut for her. At that time, she never thought about the tragedy that would happen when she forcibly violates a person's wishes, and what kind of sacrifice she would have to make.
cost.
"Aunt, I will follow you and serve you from the side." She wanted to look at Meng Furong to prevent this woman from using any tricks.
The always talkative aunt refused, "Chunjiao, this is an internal matter of the Shui family. It's not suitable for you to participate. You can go back first and come see me tomorrow."
Mrs. Shang thought that if the child was not Shui Xuanming's, and only the three of them knew about it, they should just let Meng Furong leave, so as not to offend the Meng family and invite revenge. I heard that there were several massacres, all because of the provocation.
The Meng family was wiped out without anyone noticing.
The Shui family is not a descendant of True God Xuanming, but because their clan name is Shui, worshiping True God Xuanming and combining Shui's virtues will be beneficial to the entire family, and they will also receive the blessing of True God Xuanming.
According to the past rules, things in the illusion are also in accordance with the laws of nature, so at this time, the Shui Family Ancestral Hall determines whether she is qualified to become a Shui Family member.
This is the reason why Tang Yue dared to come to the Shui Family Ancestral Hall. First of all, she herself has the blood of the Shui Family. Secondly, she was possessed by a true god not long ago. The Shui Family Ancestral Hall in this fantasy world should also recognize her.
Mrs. Shui opened the temple alone, lit three sticks of incense, and handed it to Meng Furong. As long as she could successfully kneel down and worship the ancestors of the Shui family three times with the incense in her hand, and then insert the incense into the incense burner, it would mean that she had the seed of the Shui family in her belly.
Of course, Meng Furong herself cannot be from the Shui family. Only if the child in her belly is from the Shui family, will the ancestral hall allow her to worship her, otherwise she will be kicked out directly.
This is Mrs. Shang's way of judgment, and she does not think there is any possibility of error.
