Chapter 182: The so-called love of family, even a broken finger can be returned
"Speak, you're dumb!"
When Shen saw that Gui Mingzhu didn't respond, she frowned and scolded her.
What an uneducated girl! She doesn't even know how to answer when her elders ask her questions.
Gui Mingzhu pursed her lips tightly and looked at her so-called mother who had once thought that she was not worthy of the name Mingzhu and had slapped her.
Indeed, even after knowing that she was Shen's daughter, nothing actually changed.
"What are you looking at? What's your name? Do you know who I am to you?!" Shen couldn't help but get angry when she saw Gui Mingzhu's eyes. She couldn't deal with Su Jixue, and she also dealt with Su Mo. Now, can't she deal with this girl?
"My name is Gui Mingzhu. To Mingzhu, Madam Su is a stranger." Gui Mingzhu looked at Shen and said lightly.
Old Madam Su didn't say anything. She just looked at Gui Mingzhu quietly. Compared with Su Mingyue, Gui Mingzhu's behavior really didn't seem like that of a noble lady, and even her words were very straightforward.
However, Gui Mingzhu was calm and composed, and was not provoked by Shen's words. She was neither humiliated nor flattering.
There is a sense of calm and relaxed atmosphere.
Gui Mingzhu's words immediately annoyed Shen. She stepped forward and wanted to slap her without saying a word. Su Jixue wanted to stop her, but Gui Mingzhu grabbed Shen's wrist and shook her head at Su Jixue.
She can't rely on her sister all her life, especially now that her life experience has been revealed, she should face it on her own.
Su Jixue understood Gui Mingzhu's meaning and watched from the side with her arms folded across her chest.
"You dare to catch me?" Shen didn't expect Gui Mingzhu to not accept the beating obediently.
"The last time you hit me, you said that I was not worthy of being called Mingzhu and that I had violated a taboo with your daughter." Gui Mingzhu looked at Shen neither humbly nor arrogantly, her fingers tightly gripping Shen's wrist.
She had been doing farm work since she was a child, so naturally she was much stronger than Shen. Shen tried to pull her wrist back several times but failed.
"This time you know that it is fake. You don't blame the Gui family or Su Mingyue, but blame me, your biological daughter whose identity was taken away." Gui Mingzhu's eyes were black and white, looking straight at the noble lady in front of him who should be called mother.
She should have been the one to support herself.
"I've asked myself countless times why the Gui family didn't love me. I worked hard, never daring to have a full meal, yet I was always scolded and beaten. In the end, I accepted it." Gui Mingzhu said with a cold expression, "But now, I finally know the reason. I didn't expect that my biological mother wouldn't love me either."
Gui Mingzhu is no longer the Gui Xiaocao she used to be. Yaoguang's teachings and Su Jixue's experiences have allowed her to grow up rapidly.
"Are you blaming me?!" Shen frowned, extremely angry.
"Yes!" Gui Mingzhu looked at Shen and nodded emphatically: "Now I am not Gui Xiaocao who has no one to protect me from the wind and rain. I am Gui Mingzhu. I have been covered in dust, but I am still a peerless treasure."
Once upon a time, she felt that she was not good enough and that was why she did not deserve to be loved by her family.
But no matter how well Gui Xiaocao did, even if she became the most diligent girl in Guijia Village, it was useless.
She was still pushed into the fire pit by the Gui family.
When the disgusting man was beating her, he once said, "Don't blame him, this is what her family asked for. If you want to blame someone, blame her father for not loving her and her mother for not caring for her. It's only worth a tael of silver."
Gui Xiaocao is a person who has died once.
At the moment she killed someone, she no longer thought that she could survive.
Gui Xiaocao's life was saved by her sister.
Gui Mingzhu's name was given by her elder sister.
It was her sister who taught her how precious she was.
Therefore, she would never allow anyone to beat or scold her again, not even her biological parents!
"What's your attitude? Do you still want to be recognized by the Su family?!" Shen was furious. She didn't expect that a little girl like this would go against her.
In Shen's view, the Su family is currently the most sought-after family in the capital. Regardless of Gui Mingzhu's original status, she should be grateful to be recognized by the Su family and respect her mother, just like Su Jixue before.
"No." Gui Mingzhu refused coldly: "You didn't show up when I needed you the most. I don't need a family anymore!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Su Jian and Old Madam Su's faces one by one.
"You may think that being the daughter of a prime minister is very valuable, so everyone wants to be one!" Gui Mingzhu stood straight, her eyes, which were very similar to Shen's, were clear and stubborn. "Even Su Mingyue thinks so, otherwise the Gui family wouldn't do such a thing!"
"But I don't want it!"
"I have a sister and the War King as my brother. I don't need to find family who don't love and pity me!"
Gui Mingzhu spoke each sentence very directly.
"Do you think you can just abandon your family if you want to?!" Shen Shi didn't expect Gui Mingzhu to say such a thing. "What Gui Mingzhu? Your surname is Su. You are the daughter I gave birth to. Even if you go to the ends of the earth, you are still the daughter of my Shen family. How can you just say you don't want her?"
Shen was furious. She didn't expect that Gui Mingzhu was not interested in the identity of the daughter of the prime minister.
How can this be!
If Gui Mingzhu doesn't become the daughter of the Prime Minister, wouldn't that just give Su Jixue a free ride?!
Absolutely not!
Gui Mingzhu must be the daughter of the prime minister, the second lady of the prime minister's mansion.
Pooh!
What is Gui Mingzhu? It should be Su Mingzhu.
"Then consider it my bad luck!" Gui Mingzhu was also stubborn. She loosened Shen's wrist and suddenly pulled out a dagger from her calf. This was the hiding place of weapons that Twelve taught her.
"I will repay your kindness by cutting off my finger, and now I will return it to you!"
Gui Mingzhu picked up the dagger with a determined look and chopped at her own fingers.
She really didn't want a mother like Shen.
Rather than being overshadowed by the Shen family in the future, Gui Mingzhu would rather break off all ties now.
Su Jixue's eyes narrowed slightly, and Twelve's hidden weapon was already between her fingers.
However, before Gui Mingzhu's dagger fell, an old hand grabbed Gui Mingzhu's blade.
The slender fingers were a little dry, but very powerful. They were only grasping the blade but they managed to block Gui Mingzhu's force.
Su Jixue paused for breath.
It’s Madam Su!
She knows martial arts!
"Child, you have suffered outside. Now that you are back home, you don't have to suffer anymore." Old Lady Su spoke lightly, but she easily twisted the blade in Gui Mingzhu's hand, took the dagger and threw it aside.
"Your mother was upset today. When she calms down, she will regret what she did today. You must not alienate yourself from the Su family because of this."
Madam Su said as she grabbed Gui Mingzhu's hand: "Mingzhu is a good name. Everything that happened before is over. From now on, you are destined to be the apple of the Su family's eye!"
