Chapter 575: Unwilling to be a chess piece

Meng Simin's lesson made Lu Ruyi's eyes darken. She lowered her head and looked at her fingernails. She had them dyed with patterns a few days ago, but today they have been dyed. The pattern is no longer as beautiful as before. She I touched it with my hand and found that although it had not faded, it was not as bright as the first day I dyed it.

She took a deep breath, looked up at her aunt, and said, "But my mother is not happy, isn't she? My aunt and mother chose this path for me, but my mother has not yet taken her own path. How can she be sure that the path chosen for me must be a good one? Why can't I have my own choice?"

Hearing this, the sensitive nerve in Meng Simin's heart was burned. She narrowed her eyes, looked into Lu Ruyi's eyes displeased, and said, "After all, are you blaming me or your mother? You Who are you subtly sarcastic about? At first I thought you were not very smart, but now it seems that you are not unsmart, you are very smart, but your intelligence is not backed by ambition. What does it matter for a woman like you to come from a famous family? Use? Wearing beautiful clothes, but there is nothing inside!"

Seeing that the eldest princess became angry, this was what Lu Ruyi thought of from the beginning. She never thought that she would get a good look from the eldest princess by saying those words. Naturally, the eldest princess would not defend the meaning of her words.

In fact...what's the profound meaning?Isn't what she said exactly talking about her mother and the eldest princess in front of her who is so high up there that she controls everything about others?They wanted to control other people's lives wantonly, and they wanted to rely on her to do things that they had never been able to do in their own lives, but didn't they just come down this road?Then are they living a good life?

Before arriving in the capital, Lu Ruyi also had expectations in her heart. She was looking forward to seeing her aunt. The aunt in her mind was the high-ranking, dignified, elegant but kind eldest princess among the royal nobles. But she had been here to get along with her for a long time. It was only then that I discovered that the eldest princess also had the dark side of her mother. No wonder her mother and aunt got along so well, not only because they were sisters, but more because they were the same people. Since I can't find pleasure in my body, I want to control other lives to satisfy my own emptiness...

But she is a human being!It’s not anyone’s chess piece!

Ha...how ridiculous...it's such a great irony to be born into a famous family!
Lu Ruyi gave a faint laugh and said: "People on the outside don't know, but my aunt must know that the Lu family in Pingyang is declining day by day. The surface is bright and beautiful, but the inside has long been hollowed out. Maybe in two years, Ruyi will not be the same person." She is a lady who comes from a famous family, but she is just an ordinary person. Facing an ordinary person, is my aunt's request too high? I don't dare to be ambitious. I just want to find a normal heart in this life. That's enough. ”

Meng Simin looked at her with cold eyes, holding the armor in her palm. She said in a cold voice: "What you said today was not impulsive. You have already thought about how to respond to me, so why are you saying these words?" Didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Lu Ruyi smiled indifferently and said: "Ruyi is a junior, and my aunt is the elder. Only the juniors listen to the elders. Ruyi is a commoner, and my aunt is a royal noble. Ruyi is the only mother who speaks. For the sake of listening, maybe today I should just listen as usual, but Ruyi really doesn't want to confess myself like this. Ruyi also wants her aunt to hear what I think. Maybe you won't care about what I think, but if I don't say it, I just haven't. I have fought for myself, and now that I am fighting for myself, will it become a joke again in the eyes of my aunt?"

Perhaps it was due to long-standing grievances, Lu Ruyi's eyes were watery, and she looked at the eldest princess sadly. When a woman reaches this age, what worries her most is her own marriage, especially when her own marriage cannot be decided by herself. At that time... it was not the order of the parents or the words of the matchmaker, but it was handed over to the hands of a powerful aunt, and this aunt has always been a proud and arrogant master. How could she listen to your sincere words? , how can she really think about you? What she wants is closely related to her own interests. What she wants is just an obedient chess piece. If she loses this opportunity again, she will really become a silent heart in the future. She is a chess piece and is disliked from time to time. In this case, it is better to express her feelings from the beginning. At least she has fought for herself once...

Seeing Lu Ruyi like this, Meng Simin was slightly stunned. She saw a different life in her.This life is different from hers, and also different from Ruyi's mother.

She, Meng Simin, had experienced all the ups and downs of love, but her younger sister didn't seem to have experienced any of the sweetness.

And what were they like when they were Lu Ruyi's age?Unlike Lu Ruyi, they rushed themselves into the fire pit and put themselves in an unhappy situation with their own hands...

She recalled her first impression of her niece, and thought she was a docile and easy-to-control chess piece. However, she had misjudged her. This niece, who looked docile on the surface and was like a little sheep, was actually living in a deep heart. Meng Simin was surprised that she dared to say these words to herself today. She didn't expect that her niece, who always liked to shrink her neck, would now dare to stand up and talk to her?

She saw clearly the helplessness and desolation in her eyes. She was hoping that she could let him go, haha... Poor child, are you still expecting to fight fate?But when has fate ever favored them?Destiny never wants to be on their side...

Thinking of this, Meng Simin gave a cold snort, completely tearing off the "aunt's" skin, showing her indifference without hiding it. She said: "Please look at me with a sad face. You should know these words in your heart. Whether you say it or not, the result will be It’s all the same, why bother telling it to annoy my aunt?”

Hearing this, Lu Ruyi's heart felt like ice. She looked into her aunt's cold-blooded eyes and sneered at herself. She said: "Ruyi just thought that, as a woman, my aunt has also walked this road, so she might understand me." , will be willing to pity me..." But now it seems that she is not willing to give herself any pity.

Meng Simin looked at her coldly, but she was laughing like crazy in her heart. Looking at her desperate eyes, she felt extremely happy.

She and she wanted to cherish each other, but who was willing to give her a little bit of love in the first place so that she could have a little better life in these long years?
Since she can't get something, how can she give it to others easily?Everything is fate, the path she should take, the fate she cannot escape...
