Before she realized it, Su Xue had already veered towards a path of obsession. She needed to pull her back as soon as possible.
“Do you think it was our Father who compelled our mother to bear so many children?” Su Wen inquired. Su Xue shook her head. “No.”
“Did our Father intervene?”
After a moment of hesitation, Su Xue bit her lip and replied, “Yes.” Not only did he intervene, but he also employed various measures. However, in pursuit of bearing a son, Mother clandestinely complied with him. The Sixth Sister and Little Sister were born under such circumstances. By the time Father could discern it, it was too late.
Su Wen understood better than Su Xue that in a normal marital relationship, there was always a chance of pregnancy when a wife attempted it.
“Then why did our Mother do it? Such a gentle, kind, knowledgeable, and beautiful woman…” Eventually, Su Wen couldn’t help but sigh.
She was undeniably beautiful and knowledgeable, yet she found herself in a hopeless situation.
Were Su Dachun and Ma Xiulan truly that influential?
When Su Wen pondered this, she became aware of the two. Once again, she was grateful for choosing Yao Fang. With her, she could surely break free. Yao Fang, adept at argumentation, was a potent tool against Su Dachun and Ma Xiulan.
It seemed she would have to train Yao Fang even more diligently in the future, moulding her into a versatile talent.
“It’s our grandparents. They exploit the Father’s absence to pressure the Mother into bearing a son. They scolded Mother so severely that she was embarrassed.” Su Xue’s eyes welled with tears as she spoke, her hands clenching into fists.
Su Wen sighed, her heart softening. She lowered her voice and said, “If it were me, I would only think about how to rid ourselves of Su Dachun and Ma Xiulan’s influence. I wouldn’t allow myself to be manipulated by them.”
Su Xue’s eyes brightened as she recalled her sister’s actions over the past six months.
“I know you’ve been harbouring your mother’s sorrow in your heart. That’s commendable. You’re very filial.” Su Wen gently embraced Su Xue.
“But you mustn’t be narrow-minded. You can’t solely focus on others’ issues while neglecting your own. One must stand tall and address their problems before seeking assistance from others. Only then can they overcome their adversaries. Understand? Moreover, did our Mother ever urge you to seek revenge before she passed away? Did she ask you to confront her sister and parents?”
That was impossible.
From what Su Wen understood about Liu Mingxuan, it was commendable that she didn’t burden her daughter with her familial obligations.
Though Liu Mingxuan might have harboured some resentment when she replaced Su Xuewen in the countryside, she let it go upon marrying him. With such a dashing husband, she would willingly relocate to the countryside! Of course, this was Su Wen’s conjecture, but the sentiment remained.
Despite her weak demeanour, Liu Mingxuan possessed a broad-minded and transparent character. Cutting ties with her parents and sisters in the provincial capital upon moving to the countryside demonstrated her determination.
Su Wen greatly admired this, hence, she felt a mix of emotions whenever she thought of Liu Mingxuan.
The warmth emanating from her elder sister prompted all the resentment, stubbornness, and darkness Su Xue had harboured to surge forth. She relaxed, leaning against Su Wen’s shoulder as she softly wept.
“I know you want to help Mom vent her anger. Honestly, I do too. We won’t seek ultimate vengeance, but if Liu Juan and Liang Shuzhen provoke us, we won’t be lenient; they’ll pay the price.”
Thus, Su Wen vividly recounted her initial visit to the provincial capital, being escorted to Liu Juan’s residence by Zhou Yan. Su Xue listened with gleaming eyes, filled with admiration.
Her gaze sparkled with admiration, nearly convincing Su Wen that she wasn’t facing her eccentric Fourth Sister, but rather two different individuals.
“It was gratifying.”
“Absolutely,” Su Wen asserted proudly, lifting her chin. “I wasn’t certain if Liu Juan was Mother’s sister, but my instincts told me she was. I disliked her at first sight, she repulsed me.” “What happened next?” she asked..
