Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2517: Chapter 2514: Heartbroken

“What are you doing!”

The Senior Lady was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Lingren’s attitude.

“Do you know that this thing’s true purpose is definitely in the military camp, on the battlefield!” Li Lingren was young, and though his academic talent was only mediocre, he was no fool. Upon hearing about the telescope’s function, he couldn’t fully grasp its importance.

“So what?” The Senior Lady pursed her lips, then suddenly looked delighted: “I told you this must be a valuable thing, otherwise why would Chu Jin research it? If you research it before him, the Emperor will definitely reward you, not the Chu family.”

“Son, this is your chance.”

Li Lingren was so angry that his eyes were about to split open: “Mother!”

“If you want to harm your son, just say it plainly. Do you know why this thing hasn’t spread out? It’s because the Emperor doesn’t allow it. If it falls into the hands of foreign clans, it becomes a liability, rather than a weapon, causing the soldiers of Great Chu to lose their advantage.”

“And now, without understanding the situation, you act directly. Do you think the Emperor will be pleased when he hears? He will be angry, thinking we’ve overreached and have no self-awareness!”

“Mother, hurry, send someone to stop it, and never get involved again. Destroy any information about the telescope, and ensure no one else perceives it.”

“No, the Chu family must have already known…” Li Lingren was utterly despairing, and amidst his laughter, he began to cry.

“Useless, you and your father are both useless. The timid starve, the bold are glutted. If you research the telescope first, the merits outweigh the faults, and you’ve already made an impression in front of the Emperor. Are you afraid of not having a future afterward?” The Senior Lady angrily smashed a vase.

Liu Lingren was trembling with rage: “Since Mother knows the Chu family can even research the glazed mirror, why think they couldn’t research the telescope?”

“Besides, you say it’s easy, but we don’t even understand the colored glaze mirror, let alone an unfamiliar telescope!”

“It’s just your stupidity.” The Senior Lady frowned, eyes full of disappointment, “Such a small thing, yet you’re crying, it’s truly disgraceful.”

“Hahaha.” Li Lingren laughed in extreme anger, and after a bout of manic laughter, he reached out to wipe his tears, looking at the Senior Lady with eyes filled only with indifference.

“Mother, I’m your son, you can despise me and harm me at will, but I only have one life. Now, I’m already a person without a future, you might as well give up on me.”

“How can you be as unambitious as your father!” The Senior Lady roared, deeply dissatisfied with Li Lingren.

Li Lingren’s face was numb: “If you still insist on taking your son’s life, then go ahead, after all, as a son, I have no qualification to resist, right?”

“Henceforth, I won’t come to see you again, Mother, take care of yourself.” Li Lingren resolutely turned around, behind him the Senior Lady was storming madly, smashing things to pieces with a loud crash.

Li Lingren’s heart was already numb. He never imagined that his strict and proud mother had become so unreasonable and unbelievably unfamiliar.

It seemed… it seemed he was just a tool at the residence, and once he failed to meet her expectations, she dreamed of controlling his life to achieve her desires, regardless of whether he was willing or not, completely out of her consideration.

Whenever he performed poorly or disobeyed, she’d look at him with disappointed eyes and reprimand him.
