Chapter 329: Concubine in the Cultivation World
Liao Lin soon arrived at the old lady's yard.
"I'm here," the old lady raised her eyes tiredly and looked at Liao Lin, "Sit down!"
Seeing her mother-in-law like this, Liao Lin had a bad feeling in her heart: "Mother, you called your daughter-in-law over at this time, do you have something to tell her to do?"
"Hong'er wants to marry a concubine." The old lady didn't say any more nonsense and made it clear directly.
"What?" Liao Lin's eyes widened in shock. "Why? My daughter-in-law has been working diligently since she married into the Murong family. She has done nothing wrong. Why does the young master want to marry a concubine to humiliate me?"
As she spoke, tears began to fall from Liao Lin's eyes.
"Hong'er was bewitched by a woman who was a casual cultivator, and that woman was pregnant," the old lady said to Liao Lin, "He insisted on marrying that woman as his co-wife because you had no children in all these years, and even the head of the family agreed to this."
"Alas!" Then the old lady sighed and smiled bitterly, "It's not that I didn't object. You and I are both women. Moreover, you have been respectful to me as your mother-in-law over the years. It is reasonable for me to object to my son marrying a concubine to humiliate you."
"But the head of the family doesn't take me, his wife, seriously, and Hong'er doesn't take me, his mother, seriously. My opposition is just unreasonable in the eyes of them, so I really can't help you. All I can do is to persuade you to be more open-minded. At least with the Liao family around, Hong'er won't dare to divorce his wife and marry someone else."
As she spoke, the old lady couldn't help wiping away her tears: "This is the sadness of being a weak person, just let it go!"
"My daughter-in-law is unable to let go," Liao Lin said angrily. "I am a daughter of the Liao family. I married into the Murong family not to be humiliated by them. The young master insisted on marrying a concubine to tread on my face. Isn't she afraid that the Liao family and the Murong family will fall out?"
"Your Liao family suffered heavy losses in the Hongmeng Mountain Secret Realm this time, so Hong'er dared to propose marrying a concubine," the old lady said, "Liao Lin! People have to face reality. People born in a family like ours, don't you know how cold blood ties are?"
"Given the current situation of the Liao family, it is absolutely impossible for them to break up with the Murong family just because of a married woman like you. If you can't see the reality clearly, you will be the one who suffers in the end."
The old lady meant to persuade Liao Lin to accept it and stop making a fuss, because making a fuss would do her no good and might even make her situation worse.
"Got it," Liao Lin closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she was calm and composed. "Thank you for your kind reminder, I will not let your kindness go to waste."
Liao Lin was sincerely grateful to her mother-in-law, so her words of thanks were not meant to be sarcastic.
"I'm relieved that you can figure it out," the old lady felt even more exhausted. "Okay, you must be feeling very uncomfortable right now, so I won't keep you any longer. Go back now!"
"Then your daughter-in-law will go back first." Liao Lin stood up, bowed to the old lady, and walked out.
"Old Madam, do you think the young lady can really let it go?" Nanny Chen watched the young lady leave before she spoke:
Nanny Chen liked the young lady very much. After all, the servants could see how respectful she was to the old lady.
But now the young lady had to suffer such humiliation, how could Nanny Chen not feel sorry for her.
"Liao Lin is a smart person," the old lady rubbed her brows, "regardless of whether she will let it go or not, she will make a decision that is beneficial to herself and will not act rashly."
"My head hurts a bit, help me lie down on the bed for a while!"
"Yes." Nanny Chen quickly helped the old lady up.
When Liao Lin returned to her residence, she picked up a vase and threw it to the ground: "Murong Hong, you are going too far."
"Madam, I will go back to the Liao family now," Jia Zi cried, "I don't believe that the Liao family would allow you to be humiliated by the Murong family like this."
It's really infuriating. How could the young master be so excessive? He actually wants to marry a concubine. It's obvious that he doesn't take the young lady seriously at all.
"That's right," Jiayu also cried and said, "I don't believe that the master will allow the Murong family to humiliate the young lady like this. Let Jiazi go back to the Liao family. The master will definitely support the young lady."
The head of the family that Jiayu mentioned was naturally the head of the Liao family.
"Haha!" Liao Lin laughed at herself and wiped away her tears with her hand. "Don't waste your energy. Given the Liao family's current situation, how could they possibly break up with the Murong family just because of a married daughter like me?"
"But can we just watch the young master marry a concubine to humiliate you?" Jia Zi said with hatred, "I hate it so much! I hate that I can't help you kill the young master's heartless man."
If Jia Zi had that ability, she would definitely kill the young master, that heartless beast, for her master. After all, Jia Zi's loyalty to the young mistress was unquestionable. Therefore, when she saw the young master humiliating the young mistress in this way, she really wanted to kill him.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense," Liao Lin said coldly, "Put away that expression on your face. When you see the young master, even if you are pretending, you must pretend to be respectful. You can't let the young master see any hatred in you, otherwise I won't be able to protect you even if I want to."
"Yes." Jia Zi immediately put away the hatred on her face.
"Go get a basin of water," Liao Lin continued, "fix my makeup for me, and we'll go to the front yard to meet the young master."
"Since Murong Hong insists on marrying a concubine, I should be sensible and go to him to discuss the matter of marrying a concubine."
Jiazi and Jiayu looked at the young lady with heartache. They hated Murong Hong, that heartless man, to death. If their strength allowed, they would really risk their lives to help the young lady kill Murong Hong.
At the same time, in the front yard where Murong Hong lived.
"I won't marry," Jialuo looked at Murong Hong angrily, "Murong Hong, I've told you so many times that I won't marry you. Why can't you just let me go? When we first met, if you told me that you were already married, I would never agree to be with you."
"You are a liar, a liar who deceived my feelings. I really hate you."
Jialuo met Murong Hong in the secret realm. At that time, Murong Hong was separated from other members of the Mu family and was seriously injured. If Jialuo had not saved him, he would have been in great danger.
Then the two of them developed feelings for each other and got together naturally. Although Murong Hong did not tell Jialuo that he was married at the beginning, it was impossible to say that Jialuo was unaware of the situation.
