336 Resistance

Despite Marquis Beining’s anger, he was unable to resolve the matter. After all, all the evidence was provided. Song Minghui couldn’t be bothered to stay with these people any longer, so he left with Zhou Ningqian.

Seeing that Song Minghui obviously didn’t plan to help, although Marquis Beining was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do.

After the old lady finally came back to her senses, her anger wasn’t directed at the culprit, Yu Niang, but at Madam Beining, who had not spoken since the beginning. “Look at the son you raised!”

The old lady seemed to have found a way to vent the anger that had been accumulating for a long time. All kinds of obscenities were directed at Madam Beining, whose face turned pale and her body trembled.

Madam Beining didn’t dare to resist. She stood up while trembling and was about to kneel to the old lady. However, this time, Song Mingmin, who had been kneeling at the side, couldn’t help but rush up from the ground and grab Madam Beining, who was about to slide down. “What did my mother do wrong?

Was she the one who colluded with outsiders and harmed the entire ministry, or was she the one who used the ministry’s reputation to scam people?

My brother has been working hard for the ministry all these years and has always tried his best to resolve the various troubles you guys caused, but who has ever been grateful towards him?

How much of Sister-in-law’s dowry is left to fill the ministry’s shortfall?

“Grandmother, you only know how to scold my mother whenever something happens. Isn’t it because you think that my mother is easy to bully and has never retaliated?

My mother has a good temper, but you can’t keep bullying her just because of that!

I know what you want to say. You want my father to divorce my mother and ask him to abolish my second brother’s position as the heir, right? Then let my father do it now!

I’m not afraid of offending you and making you unhappy. Without my brother’s support, I want to see how long this ministry can last!

“Mother, let’s go!”

Song Mingmin spoke quickly and anxiously. After saying that, she ignored the dark expressions of the two elders and called Madam Beining’s servant along. Then, she pulled Madam Beining away.

She really didn’t want to serve her any longer!

Madam Beining was frightened by her son and daughter’s actions and she wanted to apologize, but her daughter seemed determined this time and didn’t give her a chance to refuse. By the time she reacted, she had already been dragged out of the old lady’s courtyard and on the way back to her courtyard.

“Sister Min, what are you doing?” Madam Beining’s panicked and asked in a quivering voice as she grabbed her daughter’s hand. “Do you know that what you said today will completely anger your grandmother and father?”

“So what?” Song Mingmin didn’t care at all and continued walking with her mother’s hand in hers, “Mother, haven’t you compromised many times before? But in the end, how did Grandmother and Father treat you?

Would they have treated us well if I didn’t say these words today?

“Stop being so delusional. The more tolerant you are now, the more they will push their luck! Second Brother is right. No one in the ministry has a heart!”

“But they’re still your grandmother and father. You’re already at the age of marriage. What will happen to you if you offend them?”

Madam Beining was worried at the thought of this and felt that the future was bleak. She broke free from her daughter’s hand and turned around to walk back. “No, we can’t leave like this. If you’re unwilling to go back and admit your mistake, I’ll explain things for you. I can’t let this ruin your future.”

“Give it a rest! Now that something so big has happened, it’s hard to say if we can even recover.” Song Mingmin reached out and grabbed Madam Beining to pull her towards the courtyard. “Mother, listen to me this time and return to your courtyard.

No matter who comes looking for you later, don’t interfere. Just pretend that you don’t know anything!”

“How can that do? We’re also the ministry’s people. Now that the residence has encountered such a disaster, how can we stand by and do nothing? Min’er, I know you’re angry, but you have to think about if you get married in the future…”

When Madam Beining heard Song Mingmin’s words, she was extremely anxious and wanted to dissuade her, but Song Mingmin interrupted her. “Mother, if I have to live like you for the rest of my life after I get married, I might as well not get married for the rest of my life!

Moreover, how can you possibly help? Aren’t you just hoping that my second brother will mediate?

But how much has my second brother sacrificed for the ministry all these years? Have those people ever felt grateful?

Don’t you know how my sister-in-law lost her child? Back then, my second brother had already laid out the evidence clearly, but in the end, what did my father do?

Also, this time, they clearly wanted to harm the child in my sister-in-law’s stomach again. If not for General Wei Bei’s wife’s help, my sister-in-law would have been doomed again!

“Mother, please come to your senses! I pity my second brother! He’s been working for others for so many years. It’s time for him to live for himself.”

Song Mingmin didn’t give Madam Beining a chance to leave at all. After she dragged Madam Beining into the courtyard where she lived, she didn’t even seem to have any intention of leaving.

Although Madam Beining was anxious, she couldn’t do anything about her daughter.

Moreover, she knew that her only son was already estranged from her. With his current hatred for her and the entire Marquis Beining’s ministry, if she went to look for him now and begged him to think of a way to help Marquis Beining’s ministry, she would definitely push her son further away.

But what choice did she have?

No matter what, he was still the heir of Marquis Beining’s ministry, so guarding Marquis Beining’s ministry was like guarding his future!

She knew that she had indeed wronged the couple previously, but how could everything in this world go smoothly? For the sake of a better future over the long term, a moment of grievance was nothing.

However, Minghui didn’t understand these things and was unwilling to listen.
