Chapter 563 What Other People Think of Me
Chapter 563 What Other People Think Is None of My Business
When a beauty sheds tears, it is the sin of mortals!
What’s more, they were the tears of a poor orphan girl who was seeking revenge for her mother!
“If I do not plead for mercy for my father who killed my mother and robbed her of her wealth, and who committed crimes against the king;
Just because I don't help my grandmother and stepmother who killed my mother and stole her wealth and conspired to deceive the emperor to exonerate themselves, you are going to say that I am "extremely unfilial", right?
If I don't let go of the half brother who bullied, tortured, and beat me, the legitimate sister for eight or nine years;
You are not letting go of my concubine sister who not only bullied, tortured, beat and scolded me for eight or nine years, but also took away everything from me. She even wanted to exchange a concubine for a legitimate wife and marry into the royal family. You are saying that I am not virtuous, right?
Then I would like to ask you all here——
How can I be filial?
How can I be virtuous?
Do you want me to beg the prefect not to pursue the crime of murdering my mother's father and grandmother?
What about my poor mother?
My mother's hatred and injustice, as her daughter, should I turn a blind eye and ignore it?
How can I show filial piety to my mother?
My father, my grandmother, my father's concubine, and that concubine's family, they conspired to kill my mother!
As a daughter, I did not fulfill my filial duty to my mother, nor did I avenge her. Instead, I let the murderers who killed my mother go for fear of being labeled as "extremely unfilial"?
Just because my father and my grandmother were among the murderers of my mother?
Just because they are my blood relatives?
My father murdered his wife for money;
My grandmother murdered her daughter-in-law for money;
My father's concubine is trying to seize the first wife's dowry;
Murdering the wife of the marquis's wife;
He has been abusing the daughter of the marquis for many years.
Everyone present here, please tell me, how can I show filial piety to them?
If it were you, what would you do?
Please also tell me, should I be filial to my mother?
Should the crime of killing and deceiving the emperor be investigated according to the court laws?
Or should I be filial to my father and grandmother, the murderers of my mother, and not pursue their crime of murdering my mother?
Or should I let that vicious concubine Yin go, allowing her to kill my mother without pursuing the matter?
And let the murderer of my mother enjoy the property that belongs to my mother?
Allowing criminals who committed the crime of deceiving the emperor to go unpunished in this world!
Is this what filial piety is?
If I, Leng Rongyue, was really so "filial", then I would not be worthy of being a human being!
My mother was murdered, and I, an orphan without a mother, had to survive hard at a young age in the mansion of Marquis Qinxing, surrounded by fierce beasts and wolves.
Under their threats, and in order to protect the lives of the few trusted people left around me, I didn't even dare to reveal the truth to my grandparents, uncles, aunts, and brothers!
If...if I hadn't had the belief of avenging my mother when I grew up to support me, I would have gone to the underworld to find my mother long ago!
When they planned to use that rogue Yin Baoye to murder me, I was just a little bit away from death!
I endured so many years of bullying;
I have lived with my teeth gnashing;
Just for today!
Therefore, I would rather be accused of being "unfilial" by some people who are in cahoots with the evil people in the hall, than I can avenge my mother who was unjustly killed!
The only person I want to be filial to is my mother who died unjustly! My poor mother! "
At this point, Leng Rongyue felt a sharp pain in her heart, and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her chest...
Leng Rongyue realized that the original owner Leng Rongyue might also be here, or she was still in her body and had not left.
She was also waiting...waiting for the day to avenge her mother and herself.
Leng Rongyue suppressed the pain in her heart, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "The hatred for killing my mother is irreconcilable!
As long as he is the murderer who killed my mother, I don’t care who he is to me!
What's more, they did not raise me, but only wanted to murder me!
It was my mother who raised me!
The ones who protect me are my grandparents, uncles, aunts and brothers.
I, Leng Rongyue, will remember favors and avenge grudges!"
Every word Leng Rongyue spoke was well-reasoned and powerful!
Everyone in the hall just listened quietly...
"Everyone..."
Leng Rongyue paused for a moment and continued, "What I just said was just my understanding and choice of the word 'filial piety'!
This case is not just a decomposition of the word "filial piety".
As the saying goes, every country has its own laws and every family has its own rules.
The laws of the imperial court are the foundation of the dynasty and the country, and their majesty must not be violated!
The emperor is the ruler of a country, and his majesty cannot be disrespected in the slightest!
These criminals in the court not only killed people and robbed them of their property, but they also deceived the emperor and their crimes are unforgivable!
I have been taught by my mother since I was young;
Later, I was fortunate enough to listen to the teachings of my grandfather and uncle...
Although I am a weak girl, I know that being loyal to the emperor and abiding by the law are the foundation of being a human being.
I would like to ask the "saints" who were so moved by the criminals' cries and tears...
Should I ignore the authority of the current emperor, the laws of the court, the injustice of my deceased mother, and follow the kindness of all the "saints" to perform a disgusting and foolish filial piety for the enemy who killed my mother and the sinner who deceived the emperor?
Suppose your kindness can really be promoted, then...
It is conceivable that in the future, if the father kills the mother and the children plead for the father out of filial piety, the father will be innocent;
If a mother kills her father, and her children plead for her through filial piety, the mother is not guilty.
If grandparents kill each other, and their descendants show filial piety and plead for mercy for them, the grandparents are not guilty!
If the law enforcement offices in various places in Jingyue Country acted like this when encountering such cases...
Is this what the "good people" present here expect...
Kill people at will, bully the emperor at will, but there are so-called "filial sons" everywhere...
Don't forget, if one day you are killed, there may also be the 'filial sons and grandsons' you expect to see who will plead for mercy and exonerate your murderer!
And the murderer who killed you will be innocent!
I would like to ask 'kind people', do you really want to see Jingyue Country like this?"
No one interrupted, and no one refuted.
"The 'good man' is silent... so I'll have to speak.
What I'm trying to say is:
I will fulfill my filial duty!
I will not be the first person to ignore the king and disrupt the law!
From now on, if someone insists on putting the label of "unfilial piety" on me, Leng Rongyue...
Okay, it’s okay, I, Leng Rongyue, will take over!
As long as I can be worthy of my poor mother, I will have a clear conscience!
What other people think and say is none of my business!"
After saying that, Leng Rongyue turned and walked towards the people from the Anguo Mansion.
