Chapter 516: Mother, rest in peace
Mu Rong looked as if it was a matter of course.
"My mother's family's surname is Mu, and my husband's family's surname is Ning. May I ask, mother, is Tan Peiyou's surname Mu or Ning?"
"Why do I have to treat him as a family member?"
Zheng Pulian's face sank to the bottom.
"He is my son-in-law, so he is naturally a member of our Ning family."
"My last name isn't Ning Mu either. So, if you say so, I'm not considered your family member?"
Mu Rong's eyes were cold and she looked at him as if he were a worn-out shoe. She stood still and did not answer but asked instead.
"From what my mother has done, does she consider me as a family member?"
"Why should two families live under the same roof?"
"So, I asked my mother to move to live in the 'main house'."
Although she was sitting on the side, she was arrogant, unrestrained and spoke hurtful words.
"All household expenses were handed over to the Tan family. Mother's surname should not be Zheng, but Tan."
Zheng Pulian angrily waved her sleeves, and all the teacups on the table fell to the ground.
"Mu Rong, don't go too far!"
Ning Hanwang was at a loss as to what to do. He remained silent for a long time before finally speaking out to stop it.
"Mother, please calm down."
Zheng Pulian screamed at the top of her lungs, roaring like thunder.
"How can I calm down in this situation?"
"Tell me, who should we choose?"
Ning Hanwang's face was gloomy and he was filled with endless worries.
"How could a mother bear to put her son in such a dilemma?"
Zheng Pulian was startled when she heard this.
"Is it me who is causing you a dilemma?"
A flash of inspiration came to her, and she suddenly realized something. She smiled bitterly, full of sadness.
"Ah."
"I understand your statement. You don't want a mother, you want a wife."
Ning Hanwang denied it immediately.
"I don't mean that."
Zheng Pulian disdained to argue and made a decisive decision.
"I won't argue with you, it's pointless."
"I have a daughter and a maternal family. I don't have to stay in your house. You don't have to drive me away. I will leave on my own."
Ning Han looked at his brows, which showed traces of distress.
"Mother……"
Zheng Pulian saw through his thoughts at a glance and took advantage of his trick.
"What do you mean? You want to keep me? Well, let me hear what you have to say."
Ning Hanwang hesitated to speak, obviously not having thought of what to say yet.
"I……"
After testing her son's intentions, Zheng Pulian was disappointed and couldn't help scolding him.
"Ning Hanwang, at this critical moment, you still want to pretend to be a good person and gain a good reputation?"
"How old are you? Do you think it's fun?"
"Why did I agree to move out? Do you understand the reason? A harmonious family is the foundation of everything. I made all the choices for you. As a mother, I feel sorry for you and am afraid that you will be caught in a dilemma. I would rather suffer myself than let you suffer."
Ning Hanwang lowered his eyes and answered respectfully.
"Yes."
Zheng Pulian was upset, sad and heartbroken.
"I've given so much, and you only say one word, right?"
"My son is unfilial and my daughter-in-law is tyrannical. I don't want to stay in such a miserable family. If it weren't for my two beloved grandchildren who are sensible, caring and considerate of me, I would have left long ago."
Ning Hanwang was at a loss and still could only say one word.
"Yes."
Mu Rong succeeded and started to make sarcastic remarks again.
"My son is still young, how can he care and show any concern? My mother has a deep misunderstanding, they are just kind-hearted."
Zheng Pulian was unwilling to fall behind and was not forgiving in her words.
“You may have misunderstood.”
"My son chose you, does that mean he loves you deeply? He just can't bear to leave the Mu clan."
"Try to leave the She family and see if he still wants you."
Mu Rong was complacent and not moved at all.
"The law is set, and those who are one family cannot be separated. What is the difference between the Mu clan and me? We will always be one family. If the master values the Mu clan, he values me."
"If mother is jealous, she will ask you Zheng people to do better."
Zheng Pulian stared at her, treating her as a joke.
"You are quite open-minded."
There was thorn in Mu Rong's words.
"I have always been broad-minded, unlike some people who are petty and narrow-minded."
Zheng Pulian ignored him and turned to look at her son.
"You can drive me away. But I want to take one of my two beloved grandchildren with me."
Ning Hanwang is humble and polite.
"Excuse me, mother, which grandson do you intend to marry?"
Zheng Pulian already had a candidate in mind.
"I……"
Mu Rong was caught off guard and interrupted her quickly.
"Why do you ask that, Master? No matter which one she likes, I won't agree to it."
"No one can take my son away!"
Zheng Pulian looked stern.
"According to the law, the grandmother has the right to raise her grandchild."
"How can you hinder the relationship between us, the grandparents and the grandchildren?"
Since it concerns her beloved son, Mu Rong absolutely refuses to give in.
"If anyone dares to take my son away, I will never forgive him. Mother, you'd better think carefully before you act."
Zheng Pulian looked angry.
"Do you threaten me?"
Mu Rong reluctantly gave advice.
"At most, I'll let you take Ning Yunxi away."
Zheng Pulian spoke frankly and exposed Mu Rong's trick.
"Use me to help you raise your daughter. If it works, you can take it back and make plans for you; if it doesn't work, just give it to me and save yourself the trouble."
"Your calculations are really accurate."
Mu Rong opened and closed freely.
"No matter how poor our family is, we can afford to raise a daughter. If my mother doesn't want her, then forget it."
Zheng Pulian persisted and insisted.
"What I want is my own child."
"Is she our own child?"
Mu Rong pretended not to hear the request and argued casually, trying to change the subject.
"Why not? When she grows up, she is no different from Fengzhe and Feng'er. She respectfully calls you grandma and calls us parents."
Zheng Pulian didn't fall into the trap and continued to make her demands.
"It doesn't matter what you say, I will take Fengzhe away."
"You favor Feng'er, and Fengzhe will suffer if he stays. If he doesn't leave, I won't be able to bear to leave."
Mu Rong clarified the matter solemnly.
"I treat my two beloved sons impartially, mother, please do not mislead others with your nonsense."
After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly realized.
"Is this how you usually teach Fengzhe? No wonder that kid came back to the Mu Mansion and kept saying that I favored my second brother."
"So, you are the one who started it."
Zheng Pulian denied it flatly.
"What does it have to do with me? It's obviously you who started it."
"Fengzhe is so sensible. If you weren't biased, how could he say such nonsense?"
Unconsciously, she had been plotting against so many things by her. The more Mu Rong thought about it, the angrier she became.
"You favor your daughter and treat me the same way. How ridiculous."
"Fengzhe, I'll protect you, don't even think about taking you away."
"The rain has stopped, mother, pack your bags and move out quickly."
"I'm sorry I can't see you off. Have a safe journey, mother."
Zheng Pulian's wish was dashed, and the ridicule became even worse.
"Okay, I'll move."
"I won't suffer if I live with my daughter. It's a blessing."
Even though she knew that she was deliberately provoking her, Mu Rong still couldn't control her temper.
"Mother's intention, living in Ning Mansion, have I made you suffer?"
Zheng Pulian asked back with contempt.
"What do you say?"
The past events were still vivid in Mu Rong's mind, and she felt resentful and disgusted.
"You live here, and you don't have to do any housework. Even when I was in confinement, my mother came to take care of me. What kind of suffering have you endured?"
Zheng Pulian said indifferently.
"I am a girl from an aristocratic family, so I don't have to work."
Mu Rong was furious.
"My mother is also a girl from an aristocratic family. Why is she so busy coming and going to help you take care of your daughter-in-law and grandson?"
Zheng Pulian was content and happy.
"How should I know about her? Go ask her."
Mu Rong was furious.
"Zheng Pulian!"
