Chapter 779 Resentment
"Little Xia'er, I'm afraid grandma won't be able to hug you anymore." Empress Xu looked at the yawning child with a melancholy expression.

"Mother..." Ding Shitou couldn't help but feel distressed when he heard this.

Perhaps everyone knows that Empress Xu's time is numbered.

"Xiaoya, what happened on the street today has already been played by Shuntian Mansion, and your father also knows that it is Duke Qian's daughter... That daughter rode the horse first, so I can't blame you."

"You protected innocent children. It's understandable to teach Miss Mu a lesson, but you..."

Empress Xu paused when she said this, and looked at Ding Shitou with some embarrassment.

"Princess Zhao, you have let go of your own identity, why do you deny the Mu family's father and brother?"

Seeing this, the prince on the side couldn't help asking doubts.The queen mother couldn't continue asking, so he didn't worry so much.

"Because my mother starved to death!" Ding Shitou said suddenly, looking at Mu Sheng resentfully.

"There was a famine in my hometown, and my mother took me out to look for relatives, but I couldn't find them."

"I only got a piece of cake on the way. We ate it all day. On the second day, my mother gave me the last half of the cake and asked me to fetch water for her to drink."

"When I come back, she's already starved to death, with loess in her mouth that she can't swallow!"

Ding Shitou thought of the two days when he first crossed over, experienced life and death twice, and struggled on the verge of death.

It can be said that it was the half of the cake that saved her who had just transmigrated into the body of a four-year-old child.

But she was powerless to save that kind and selfless mother.

"Why don't I recognize you?" Ding Shitou handed Xiao Xia'er to Zhao Jian, and walked towards Mu Sheng, his eyes were cold and emotionless.

"Why did my mother starve to death? Is it because of famine?"

"No, look at your wife who is enjoying the honor that should be my mother, look at your arrogant and noble daughter, look at your son who can draw a sword in the street when you say nothing, hehe……"

"It's you who like the new and dislike the old, always abandoning you. You bring your little concubine by your side to enjoy the beauty of your Mu family, but my mother can only give the last half of the cake to her poor daughter, just to keep her daughter alive."

"When she sent me to look for water, she said, Ding Ding, go find your father, your father is a great general! Hehe, great general!"

Ding Shitou sneered and pointed at Mu Sheng.

"So what, the general can save my mother? When I was four years old and buried my mother, I never expected a general."

"You say I look like your mother, so you recognize me as a matter of course. You don't know, the blood line was cut off long after my mother died. I survived not because of the chance you gave me, but because of my own ability."

"You didn't give me this ability. From the age of four to 14, I was homeless for ten years, stealing and cheating. I named myself Stone, the stone that never dies."

"Stone? You are not..." Empress Xu was startled when she heard this.

Xiaoya's past is already very pitiful, why is her name still...

"After returning to my mother, it was my son who thought Shitou's name was too ugly, so he took the name Xiaoya. Dingshi, which was registered in her Nancheng Village household post and fish scale book, is a men's name."

Zhao Jian explained from the side.

Empress Xu wiped her tears suddenly.

"Xiaoya, Xiaoya is better. Don't be sad, child. Your mother will rest in peace when she sees that you are living well now."

"Yes, Queen Mother, don't be sad." Ding Shitou hurried over to comfort Queen Xu.

"After the daughter-in-law meets her husband, life will be easier. The daughter-in-law has today's honorable status, which is given by the royal family and has nothing to do with the Mu family."

"So the mother-in-law, the daughter-in-law will not recognize the Mu family, and the daughter-in-law's Ding family will become more and more prosperous."

Empress Xu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, but could no longer say any words of persuasion.

On the side, Emperor Yongle gave Mu Sheng a helpless look, unable to help him anymore.

The crown prince pursed his lips tightly, complaining secretly, this girl is really different.

People changed their names and surnames, so she took her nickname as her surname, not only gave herself such a name, but also picked up those orphans to form a family of her own.

Even if she is the daughter of the Mu family, it is impossible for the siblings of the Ding family to be relatives.

"Woooo..."

Mu Bin, who was standing beside Mu Sheng, had been wiping away his tears, but at this moment he couldn't help but began to cry in a low voice.

This is the imperial palace, he didn't dare to cry loudly, but knowing the truth about his mother's death, how could he bear it?
"Why are you crying!" Ding Shitou was tired of hearing it, and suddenly shouted angrily, turning his head to stare at Mu Bin.

"You enjoy wealth and wealth, you have a father! You have a mother! You have a younger sister! Have you ever experienced the feeling of despair? After all, it's just a well-developed tear gland."

Ding Shitou sarcastically disdainfully.

In this world, other than Xiao Xiaer, the only ones who are blood relatives to the host are the two in front of them.

But as long as she thought of the helplessness and despair at that time, she couldn't forgive these two people.

"I'm sorry, dad knows it's useless to say anything, your mother is gone, it's because dad didn't protect her well, you hate dad, dad doesn't blame you."

Mu Sheng also wiped away his old tears, shaking his lips with a sad face.

"Hmph, I know I've been entangled all this time, so I can't let people live." Ding Shitou pursed his lips indifferently, with a look of disgust on his face.

Seeing her being so resolute, Emperor Yongle would not open his mouth to persuade her, even Empress Xu opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything.

In terms of emotion and reason, she should persuade this daughter-in-law to let go of her resentment, and to put filial piety first as a child.

But what happened to Mrs. Mu back then, when the child was only four years old and buried his own mother who died of starvation with her own hands, it was the mother who gave him the last half of the cake and gave him the chance to live.

She is also a mother, she really can't say those innocuous grandiose words.

"Ya'er, your mother has been buried in the Mu family's ancestral grave. The queen mother knew about it. It's just that your father hadn't been conferred the title of knighthood back then. It's just that the first rank of the military governor Mu family ordered his wife to erect a monument for burial."

"Now that we've finished talking, you and Suier can go to worship."

"Mother, my daughter-in-law and I went there secretly last month, and also at the beginning of this month." Zhao Jian explained from the side.

"Since it's secretive, how can it be counted? Tomorrow will be open and aboveboard!" Empress Xu gave her son a look.

"Yes." Zhao Jian and Ding Shitou took orders in unison.

"Since you are here, accompany your mother and go back after dinner."

Empress Xu kept her son and daughter-in-law, but she glanced at Mu Sheng and his son, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and opened her mouth anyway.

"Ya'er, you don't want to admit to the Mu family, the queen mother won't force you, but..."

"They haven't forgotten your mother for so many years, why don't you just have a light meal with the queen mother and fulfill their wish, okay?"

Empress Xu felt sorry for what happened to Ding Shitou, knowing that Xiaoya was named by her son, she didn't change her name, but called her more affectionately.

Otherwise, we can't change the name to stone, can we?
Ding Shitou chose it himself, and it was indeed not as nice as Xiaoya, and the two names were chosen by the young couple. She chose this name from her son.
