232 Rights Of Discourse
It was not easy to stay there for a couple of days.
At least for a teenage girl, it would be very scary.
Ding Xiang looked up and said, “I can stay there, but are we living separately afterwards?”
Fifth Grandpa Ding’s face sank utterly after that question. “Second Son, do you want to live separately?”
“No, no, of course not…” Ding Erzhu was dumbfounded, wondering what made his girl say so.
Fifth Grandpa Ding sneered. “It seems that you have not taught her well. Hence, the girl is totally jinxed!”
Ding Erzhu panicked. “Dad, she is just confused!”
Ms. Zhou was terrified too. “Ding Xiang, just stop talking! Apologize to your grandma and your grandpa, we are not going to live separately okay. Don’t talk like this!”
Ding Xiang glanced at her parents. She looked desperate and distressed.
She had no rights of discourse.
She could not change a thing.
She tried her best to shout out what she was thinking, but everyone called her confused, jinxed. She was denied…
She could do nothing when she was under someone else’s mercy!
She was capable of doing nothing!
What a goddamned world!
She just could not stand that any more!
No wonder… the original host died…
She looked around and felt exhausted. Ding Xiang suddenly felt a bit desperate.
Anyway…
She was not going to tender any apologies because she never made any mistake. That was the bottomline she had. They could do whatever they wanted to her.
She could not ride over them!
Fifth Grandpa Ding forced her. “Girl, just say sorry, we can drop it as long as you apologise! We are a family and we will live happily forever!”
Ding Xiang sneered. This pretentious tone made her feel so disgusted.
What were you pretending to be? You were not at all noble!
She was not gullible! She knew that they were just trying to save their face. She was being forced to repent so that their reputation could be saved.
She had thought that as long as she could draw the attention of the villagers, she could force the whole family to yield. But she was wrong! Nothing happened so easily!
She was alone, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not get out of this mud!
Seeing Ding Xiang staying silent, Fifth Grandpa Ding got angry and said coldly, “You are definitely jinxed, so you talk nonsense! Elder, Second and Third son, just take her to the ancestral hall so she can reflect herself in front of the ancestors!”
“No, please, Dad. Ding Xiang, just apologize, now!”
“Dad, she is confused, I can discipline her later, but please, forgive her!”
Ding Erzhu and Ms. Zhou turned pale as they begged for forgiveness. Ms. Zhou cried so hard that she almost collapsed, but for her sister-in-laws who supported her.
The ancestral hall was very scary, but a maiden who was 15 years old, who could have a good marriage, would have her name ruined if she was ordered to stay in the ancestral hall.
They would never find any good suitors for her.
What was she going to do? Her life was ruined!
Ding Xiang closed her eyes.
“She is jinxed, definitely yes! No normal girls would be like this!”
Fifth Grandpa Ding almost cried. “What are you standing here for! Get her to the ancestral hall. What a shameless thing, our family is doomed!”
