Chapter 284 “Old Madam Dong Fainted (1)”
Hurting in her chest at this shameless statement, the old madam was ready to collapse at any moment due to the pain. Fortunately for the old granny, her husband was around.
Catching his wife in the nick of time, Dong Tian Ling then casts a sharping daring glare at the man beside Fu Bao Yun. “Ruo Qin, do you really intend to frustrate your mother to her coffin? Ruluon is already in this state thanks to you two, now you want to ruin the whole family too?”
This time the old lord was truly enraged. No longer suppressing his pent up steam, he explodes at his son and daughter-in-law.
Dong Ruo Qin may be his son, but Dong Ruolan was also his daughter!
Both are his children, how can he not be pained?
Their relationship used to be so good, why did it change so drastically after this woman entered our doors?
“Bao Yun…” Struggling at first, the man in the end chose to turn to his wife, “Uhh, why don’t we go back for now?”
“You shut up!” Fu Bao Yun mercilessly glares at her own man, “Don’t forget, I am the actual daughter-in-law of your family! Dong Ruolan is already married to the Lan House, she’s an outsider now. You are actually helping an outsider to go against me? All I did was hit her a little, who could’ve guessed she be so delicate and squeamish.”
Against that verbal assault, Dong Ruo Qin could only quietly lower his head. That demeanor was no different from a cowardly man being gobbled up by his bossy wife.
From the beginning of everything, their marriage was an act of humiliation for his wife. A royal princess with countless pursuers taking on a young boy with no real authority or power, if that’s not a feat of status degradation then what else can it be?
Note: in ancient china, if a princess wants to take a husband then it’s usually the man marrying into the royal family and not this way around where the princess married into the Dong family. That’s why it’s considered a humiliation because she would technically be kicked out of the royal family book.
It wasn’t just the man himself either, even the old lord and madam here were very condoning of Fu Bao Yun’s horrible behaviors until this day. If not for the shameless woman trying to force Dong Ruolan into bestowing Lan Xiaoyun onto that useless third prince of this kingdom, things wouldn’t have devolved into this state.
The Third Prince of the Chi Xia Kingdom, a famed villain that rapes and bully the weak. To send anyone to that man’s side was akin to throwing the person into a fire pit, there’s no way Dong Ruolan would do something so horrendous to her own daughter. That’s the reason why Fu Bao Yun would attack Dong Ruolan, the woman went against this shameless person’s will.
“Leave, get out of my sight!” Seeing how cowardly her son was acting, Old Madam Dong can no longer use words to describe her emotions. Gasping hard, “If you two don’t want to send me to my coffin then get out of here, leave!”
What did I ever do to have agreed to this marriage? If I had been sterner and said no back then, Ruolan wouldn’t have fallen into this state.
“Bao Yun…”
Looking at his mother’s terrible state, the man remains useless as ever and only pursed his lip: “Mother, you are old already so please don’t get so upset….”
“Dong Ruo Qin, what did you say?!” Stabbing her fists against her waist, Fu Bao Yun had not an ounce of the temperament that’s expected of a princess. To call her a shrew was more fitting. “Is your mother more important or me? I am a princess and even gave birth to your children, are you going to help them over me?”
“I… I don’t mean that,” flushing hard in his face, Dong Ruo Qin was at a loss on how to deal with this onslaught from his wife.
“Then what doooo you meannnn huh? Back then I wanted your sister to marry my brother the king, but what did you people do? Instead you married her to a far off land! So what if the Lan House is a first rate noble family? It’s still incomparable to the Royal Family!”
“That… that’s because the palace harem has too many concubines. Mother don’t want Ruolan to suffer through that ordeal and endure the bitterness of that life. And… and the Lan House doesn’t allow extra concubines into their family….”
If not for those reasons, why would Mother send Sister away to such a far off land? Just returning for a visit is a difficult thing.
