Chapter 148 Dispute
When these words came out, not only the old lady was shocked.
Sect Master Su and his wife were also very surprised.
Outside the door, Yao Yun has arrived. He wants to pretend to be strong, but for another woman, he is willing to give up his status as the young master.
Sect Master Su saw a piece of clothing outside. It was his daughter-in-law. He raised his hand and slapped Su Mo on the cheek. "Evil creature, since you are married, you are an adult. How can you say such absurd words!"
Su Mo smiled with tears in his eyes.
"My great-grandfather was enlightened, my grandfather was kind, and my father could choose his wife, but why can't I? You would rather believe the rumors in the capital, saying that Jiarou is weak and can't support the family, than believe my words.
After we parted in Yueyang, Jiarou had guessed that the letter was a lie, but she did not stop me from returning home. I promised her that I would give her an explanation within a month.
I traveled day and night and asked the boatman several times to speed up the journey, but you ordered me to get married and even forced me into the room to consummate my marriage with someone else.
From childhood to adulthood, I have been working hard to be the young master of the Su family. That way, at least I could control my own marriage and my own happiness. What does this mean now?
You have taken away the only thing that can comfort me and make me happy.
I...want a divorce!"
The old lady was angry.
Yao said in a low voice: "Amo, you have been filial and sensible since you were a child, how can you say such a thing."
"I acted openly and honestly. When I knew my feelings, I told the parents of the four girls frankly."
No wonder the other three families suddenly sent messages saying that they wanted to arrange marriages for their daughters. In the end, only the Yao family did not send any message. Yao met with Madam Yao and told her about this matter, but Madam Yao did not mention a word about it.
I didn’t understand the reason before, but now I know that it was Su Mo who wrote to tell me.
He is upright and open-minded, but the person he likes has such a soft personality that how can she handle the responsibilities of a clan leader?
The old lady wrote a letter to deceive him, saying that she was seriously ill and would die, and coaxed him to return to Jinling. It was because she received news from Uncle Su Qi that Su Mo and Jia Rou were deeply in love and had no choice but to do so. It was rare that the Yao family was willing to marry their daughter to them, so the elders of the two families discussed it and compared their horoscopes at Hanshan Temple, which showed that it was a rare, perfect match for a hundred years, so they set the wedding date immediately.
Yao said sternly, "Okay! Okay! Su Mo, you want to divorce, you don't recognize Yunniang as your wife, but in my Su family, your father, grandmother and I only recognize Yao Yunniang as the young master's wife.
If you want to fulfill your wish, then give birth to a grandson for the Su family, the future young master. If you don't want to be the young master, let your son be the young master."
Su Mo looked at Yao in disbelief. "I am your son, and I am a tool to carry on the family line. I cannot have any feelings?"
Yao gave birth to three daughters in a row. Zongzhu Su almost wanted to marry a concubine. He was so angry that he was foaming at the mouth. When the old Zongzhu and his wife started to look for candidates for a concubine, she became pregnant for the fourth time. In order to let her rest assured and take care of the baby, the original discussion of choosing a concubine was shelved.
She needed a son, and now she needed a grandson.
The young master of the Su family cannot become the patriarch if he does not have a son.
Sect Leader Su took over the position of Sect Leader when Su Mo was eight years old.
As for Su Mo, if he wants to be the sect leader, he also needs a healthy son.
Yao said, "You want to divorce, you want to leave home, you want to give up the position of young master, fine, you can leave home, but before you leave, you must ensure that the eldest branch of the Su family has a successor, otherwise, before my grandson is born, you can't go anywhere, you can't leave the house even a step!"
The atmosphere in the flower hall was solemn.
The three sisters of the Su family did not expect that Yao would have such an unreasonable side.
The old lady shook her head in pain, "Daughter-in-law, we were too arbitrary in Ah Mo's matter. In fact, if he marries Jiarou, even if she has a soft personality, it is not that important with you and me helping him, and their children and future daughter-in-law helping him."
"Mother, Jiarou has a weak temper and can even bully beggars in the capital. How can she manage the harem? How can she help Ah Mo become a clan wife? She can't support the eldest son of the family, nor can she be a good clan wife of the Su family..."
Su Mo saw hope in the old lady's words.
However, Yao firmly opposed it.
The old lady said: "Back then, some people thought my family background was not good enough, but I was fine too, not to mention Jiarou..."
She wanted to say that Jiarou was much better off than she was back then. At least she had the fief of Mu, the status of a princess, and a grandfather who was a first-rank official. She was also talented and had excellent calligraphy skills.
"Mother!" Yao interrupted the old lady, "A-Mo and Yunniang are already husband and wife. It's inappropriate to say such things now."
The tone was somewhat sharp.
Yao and the old lady, Yao has always been stronger. The old lady is gentle, and when her husband was alive, she obeyed the old patriarch. After her husband passed away, she listened to the arrangements of her son and daughter-in-law.
But she felt sorry for her grandson, and seeing him in pain, she thought he should marry the person he loved.
The old lady lived a smooth life.
"Mother, back then, father was nearly thirty years old and childless, but grandmother was kind and never forced you. Now I'm only twenty-one, and you can't wait to have a grandchild?"
"Whether you want to leave home or give up the position of Young Master, it's useless for you to say these things before I have a grandson. I say it again, there is only one daughter-in-law and Young Master's wife that I recognize, and she is Yao Yun. I won't recognize anyone else!"
Su Mo had known his father and mother since he was a child. His mother had a stronger personality and most of the time she treated the tribe members as if they were giving orders. But he didn't expect that she would treat him the same way now.
"Mother, the daughter-in-law you have chosen is Yao Yun, and the only wife in my heart is Jia Rou. From now on, mother and Yao Yun will live a harmonious life as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
He flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
This was his home, a world without the one he longed for.
From childhood to adulthood, he was only asked to study hard, and also to learn swordsmanship and martial arts. He was told not to become a master, but only to be able to protect himself when he went out.
Yao called out, "Today is the second day of the wedding, we need to offer tea to the newlyweds."
"Mother wants to drink Xiao Yao's daughter-in-law tea. You can drink it every day from now on."
Su Mo walked away.
His mother was very strong, and he did the biggest thing in the past 21 years: he refuted his mother for the first time and confronted her for the first time.
Su Mo returned to the study, and the past events flashed through his mind.
The tea party for newlyweds and the family recognition banquet ended in a bad mood because of the dispute between Yao and Su Mo.
On the third day, the newlyweds returned home, and Su Mo locked himself in the study. He had tried it before, and more guards and personnel were assigned around the study. As soon as he left the study, a guard clasped his fists and said, "Young Master, Madam has ordered that you don't need to step into the mansion until Madam gives birth to a little boy."
Every time you leave the study, you will be warned.
His freedom was truly gone.
Su Mo couldn't leave the house, so he could only return to the study. Whether he was reading or practicing calligraphy, he would inadvertently think of the admiration and appreciation of Su Zhen's calligraphy on the Yueyang ship in the past. Those thoughts kept lingering in his mind like a spell, which could not be shaken off.
