"You are right. I do bear the mark of the Ouyang family." Before Wang Huiyi spoke, Ouyang Mengmian spoke first. His voice was low and hoarse, and he had obviously gone through a strong mental struggle. "But this does not mean that I will be bound to the name of this family forever and become a tool for you to realize your ambitions..."

"Your views may have fooled some people in the feudal era, but now is a new era of ideological liberation. These feudal dregs should have been sunk into the dark and boundless abyss... What I want to tell you is that I had no choice whether to be born in the Ouyang family or not, but I know exactly what I want now - as a free person within the law and social public morality, what I want is the right to choose my own life, rather than being swayed by your expectations and arrangements..."

Although it was a very short time, Ouyang Mengmian had figured out the key to the problem. Maybe the Ouyang family was currently facing some difficulties as Wang Huiyi said, but these difficulties were not caused by her. She was not a cold-hearted or ungrateful person. The Ouyang family gave her life and a favorable environment for growth, and she would remember this kindness in her heart.

Most importantly, Ouyang Mengmian believed that even if she wanted to give back to the Ouyang family, she could not give up her own ideas and blindly follow the family's wishes. Another point is that Ouyang Mengmian believed that she was not a peerless talent, nor did she have the ability to save the Great Xia from collapse and save the foundation from decay. In this case, linking her behavior with the rise and fall of the Ouyang family is simply a joke - she would not be so self-indulgent as to think that she could affect the rise and fall of the Ouyang family.

After hearing Ouyang Mengmian's reply, Wang Huiyi's heart, which had been somewhat loosened, instantly froze again. Although she had thought about Ouyang Mengmian's possible attitude towards the Ouyang family, she couldn't help but get angry when she heard Ouyang Mengmian's words clearly. In Wang Huiyi's view, Ouyang Mengmian's saying that he wanted to choose "the right to live his own life" was a kind of rebellion and betrayal against the Ouyang family.

She was not a feudal patriarch, but when she consciously integrated everything she had, her future, and her honor and disgrace with the Ouyang family, the Ouyang family became everything to her. Although all this was so unbearable and unworthy...

"Okay, very good... You can even talk about selfishness in such a high-sounding way. You are indeed a descendant of the Ouyang family, and it is passed down from generation to generation... You all want freedom from me, and you all want your own life... Then what are the efforts and sacrifices I have made over the years worth?!"

Wang Huiyi's voice became sharp and trembling due to anger. She stared at Ouyang Mengmian, with complex lights flashing in her eyes - disappointment, anger, and a hint of imperceptible sadness.

"Ouyang Mengmian, do you think you are the only one in this world who understands the value of freedom?! You are tied to the name of the 'Ouyang' family, at least in name only - what's my last name! My last name is Wang! Since the moment I married into the Ouyang family, whether I like it or not, I have been labeled as 'Ouyang'. My identity, my value, and even my joys and sorrows are closely linked to this family. I gave up my last name and myself, just to be able to integrate into this family and become a part of the 'Ouyang family' that you have rejected in every way..."

"But what have I gained after all my efforts and sacrifices? A nominal husband who looks like a treacherous couple with an inexplicable sexual orientation, and a daughter who sees me as a scourge..."

When Wang Huiyi was emotional, she didn't know if it was because she felt too wronged, but her voice was choked up, as if she was about to cry. But maybe it was because she was too excited, although she tried hard to control her emotions and not let the tears fall, even so, what she said was already jaw-dropping.

Ouyang Mengmian was shocked beyond words when she heard Wang Huiyi's accusation. She had never thought that her mother had to bear such heavy sacrifices and unknown pain. Her mother's question about her father's sexual orientation made her frown instinctively. Some inexplicable things that happened in the past suddenly jumped out cruelly at this moment, with clear answers.

It was at this moment that Ouyang Mengmian roughly understood his mother's misfortune. Wang Huiyi's words were like a sharp steel knife, dissecting the undercurrent beneath the glamorous appearance of the Ouyang family, forcing Ouyang Mengmian to re-examine his relationship with his mother and the family.
