First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 305 Because you don’t deserve it

Wang knew Wei Rui would say that, so she looked at him and asked, "Don't you even care about your mother?"

Wei Rui stood at the door, motionless, just looking at the ground stubbornly.

The people around were whispering and talking about it. Some said that since they had already gone to the government to sever the relationship, they were no longer family. Others said that the biological mother is the most important, and no matter what, one should not disown one's mother. In short, there were all kinds of opinions.

Wang knelt down and took two steps forward, trying to grab Wei Rui's clothes, but was stopped by Wei Jing who was standing at the door.

"You old woman, you have been making trouble here for a long time. Logically, you should be sent to the government. Do you think this is a place where you can act so recklessly?" Wei Jing scolded in a deep voice.

"I just want to see my son!" Wang cried at the top of her lungs, "Even if you are a general's mansion, you can't let a mother not see her son!"

Wei Jing saw that people around him were talking, and for a moment he didn't know what Wei Rui meant. After all, they were all from the mansion, and he couldn't but give face to Wei Rui.

"You handle it!" Wei Jing said to Wei Rui, "Don't forget what your last name is now!"

He simply stepped aside.

Wei Rui clenched his hands into fists at his sides. "After all, you're just here to ask for money!"

He spoke slowly.

Wang was delighted at what Wei Rui had said, but she still looked miserable.

"Son! I can't even afford to eat." Wang cried. "Can you bear to see your mother who gave birth to you and raised you fall to the point of begging for food?"

"Before I severed my ties with my family, I gave them over a thousand taels of silver, which was enough for you to live a life of abundance," Wei Rui said.

When he said this, the discussion around him suddenly changed.

More than a thousand taels of silver! That is really enough to live a lifetime, and live a comfortable life. An ordinary family with three to five hundred taels of silver is considered wealthy!

When Wang heard that the topic of conversation had changed, she became anxious and cried, "I didn't get a penny of your money. I gave it all to your father. He now has another widow outside and is in poor health. Tell me, what should we do?"

"Then the person you should go find most is your husband!" Su Jixiang couldn't help but walk out of the door.

Wei Rui's indecisiveness really made her upset.

After Su Jixiang said this, the people around him nodded immediately.

Doesn't this make sense?

"Madam, it's easy for you to talk without any concern. If a commoner could find my husband and ask for money, why would I come to ask my own son for help today? I, a commoner woman, also have to maintain my dignity." Wang snorted.

"If you really have any shame, you won't force him to come out to see you here!" Su Jixiang said.

"Madam, I am talking to my own son. Even though you are the marquis' wife now, there is no reason for you to prevent someone else's mother from talking to her own son. It's none of your business!" Wang knew that she could not win the argument with Su Jixiang, so she changed her way of saying it.

"Are you his mother? You have severed your relationship. What kind of mother are you?" Su Jixiang snorted and chuckled, "Anyway, he has done what he should do. What else do you want from him? Besides, he sold himself to our house to repay the debt owed by your husband and to pay the money for your severance of the relationship. You know this. Now he is considered a member of my Wei family. What does it have to do with you? You are now crying and making a fuss at the door of my general's mansion, attracting so many people to watch. Aren't you just trying to use the public to put pressure on the general's mansion and him? Your little tricks are obvious to others. If you really wanted to do it for your family's kindness and for his good, you would definitely not be crying like this today. Also, this is not a trivial matter. He is a member of my general's mansion, and this matter is the general's mansion's business."

After Su Jixiang finished speaking, he looked at Wei Rui sharply, "You should know what you should do."

Wei Rui's body trembled slightly. He raised his head and looked at his biological mother with cold eyes. "Wang, I have nothing to do with you anymore. Now people have tolerated you for a long time for my sake. I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise I will personally arrest them and report to the authorities! This is the general's mansion, not everyone can come here to make trouble."

Wang looked at Wei Rui in disbelief, "My son! No matter what your foolish father did, you are still my flesh and blood. Don't you even care about your own mother?"

Wei Rui clenched his hands a little tighter, and his brows twitched slightly, imperceptibly.

These subtle movements of his could be hidden from others, but they still fell into Su Jixiang's eyes. Su Jixiang sighed silently.

This Wei Rui is beyond help!

If she still tried to stop him, it would be her fault.

They wanted to pull Wei Rui out of the quagmire and found ways to help him, but there was nothing they could do as the man himself was sinking into the quagmire.

"Son, look at how I was beaten by your useless father!" Seeing that Wei Rui seemed to have a look of pity between his brows, Wang quickly pulled up her sleeves, revealing her dry arms. Sure enough, the skin on her arms showed signs of being beaten, blue and purple, and some places were still red and swollen.

Wei Rui frowned after seeing this.

He wanted to take two steps forward, but then he thought of what Su Jixiang had just said, and couldn't help but test Su Jixiang with his eyes.

Su Jixiang slightly turned sideways, pulled out a piece of paper from her sleeve, and placed it in front of Wei Rui, "This is the indenture you signed when you voluntarily sold yourself. If you really want to meddle in this matter today, then take it away! Don't ever set foot in our general's mansion again in the future."

When Wang saw this, she knelt anxiously in front of Wei Rui again. This time, without Wei Jing's obstruction, she easily grabbed Wei Rui's clothes and said, "Son, son, I am your mother. I gave birth to you with great difficulty after ten months of pregnancy. You can't just stand by and watch you die. Son, I am really going to be beaten to death by your useless father! Look, he not only beats me, but also your little nephew!" After saying that, she pulled over a child next to her and rolled up her sleeves to show Wei Rui.

Wei Rui's brows were really furrowed this time. His eyes flashed, and he clenched and unclenched his fists several times. Finally, he bowed to Su Jixiang and said, "Madam, I want to go and check the situation."

"Okay. I won't stop you." Su Jixiang nodded, took out a fire starter, and burned Wei Rui's indenture contract to ashes in front of everyone. "Now you are completely severed from our general's mansion and have nothing to do with us anymore. You'd better take care of yourself out there. We can't take you in. You don't need to be named Wei anymore, because you don't deserve it." After saying that, she took everyone in the Wei Mansion back to the general's mansion in front of Nangong Rui's unexpected and shocked gaze, and slammed the door shut.
