“Feiyu!” Mrs. Rong Sr. halted her waving cane, her eyes filled with a blend of astonishment and concern as she looked at Rong Feiyu.

“What are you doing? Why did you shield her?”

Biting her lip, Rong Feiyu used her arms to prop up her upper body as she knelt on the floor. She looked up at her grandmother with vulnerability in her eyes. “Grandma, please calm your anger. I didn’t mean to offend. If you must vent your frustrations, direct them at me. I’m willing to bear the brunt of your wrath for my mother.”

Mrs. Rong Sr.’s rage had been at an apex, but seeing Rong Feiyu’s docility melted eight-tenths of her fury away.

“What nonsense are you talking about? It’s not you who’s at fault. Get up,” Mrs. Rong Sr. insisted, stamping her foot.

In fact, Rong Feiyu couldn’t stand up, so she continued kneeling, seizing the opportunity to further act out her martyrdom. With a choked sob, she spoke, “Grandma, please don’t blame my mother. She had no choice in all this. She was coerced into it. Even giving birth to w.a.n.g Song was against her will.” “Coerced? What do you mean?” Skepticism flashed through Mrs. Rong Sr.’s eyes as she weighed the veracity of Rong Feiyu’s words.

Grimacing through the physical discomfort, Rong Feiyu leaned closer as if sharing a dark secret. “Grandma, even my father knew about this. Do you know why he never blamed her?”

“Why?” Mrs. Rong Sr. asked.

“Because she was s.e.xually a.s.saulted back then, and the perpetrator was sent by Rong Qi’s mother, Chu Jing. Chu Jing was once influential and powerful; my mother had no choice but to remain silent. w.a.n.g Song’s birth was also coerced by her.”

“Chu Jing?”

Rong Feiyu nodded and cast a fearful glance toward Clearcreek Mansion, then continued in a hushed voice, “Perhaps Chu Jing felt threatened by my mother’s presence, which led her to employ such drastic measures. She intended to use w.a.n.g Song to control my mother. Little did she know, karma comes full circle; she pa.s.sed away before witnessing the fallout of her own schemes.”

Mrs. Rong Sr. listened with mixed feelings of doubt and suspicion. Chu Jing had always been a pa.s.sive and unambitious woman in her eyes, never one to manipulate others. But Rong Feiyu read Mrs. Rong Sr. like an open book. Gasping for air, Rong Feiyu continued, “Grandma, why would I defame a woman who has been dead for years? Chu Jing knew of a hidden stash that father kept, and she planned to expose w.a.n.g Song’s ident.i.ty just when we needed access to that cache, hoping you would disown us and benefit her own daughter instead.”

“Grandma, those are all given to you by Dad. I won’t allow Chu Jing to do this. She’s too cunning. She must have been scheming for a long time. Otherwise, think about it, why didn’t she reveal it earlier? Instead, it happened exactly when we were trying to get Dad’s pa.s.sword and address.”

After saying that, Rong Feiyu fell silent. She knew that what Mrs. Rong Sr. cared about most was money. Rong Feiyu thought saying all that should be enough to convince her.

Indeed, Mrs. Rong Sr.’s expression turned dark, and she snorted, “That wretched Chu Jing is quite the schemer, even dragging an old woman like me into her plans. Fine, I understand now. She won’t get what she wants, not from me.”

“Grandma, my mother…”

“Help your mother up; we won’t talk about this for now. But know this—I will never let you continue to support that illegitimate child! Do you understand?” “Absolutely, Grandma. Thank you,” Rong Feiyu nodded hastily before crawling over to help her utterly humiliated mother, w.a.n.g Qing, to her feet..
