Yu Youniang only discovered at the age of five that her mother was actually the true daughter of the Yong'an Marquis Estate, who had been separated from them for over twenty years.
The da...
Chapter 67 Let them wait all night!
Marshal Wen carried Yu Youning all the way back to the house.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw a furry ball lying on the armchair.
Yu Youning's eyes lit up and he struggled to go down.
"Grandpa, grandpa, is that a cat? Let me down!"
Marshal Wen carefully placed Yu Youning on the ground and said, "This is my grandfather's cat."
"What's its name?"
"Its name is Wen Xiaotian."
"ah?"
Yu Youning's little head was a little confused.
A cat not only has a name, but also a surname!
"Its last name is Wen? Just like Daddy!" Yu Youning praised, "Wen Xiaotian! Wen Xiaotian! What a powerful name!"
Wen Xiaotian is an orange cat. He is big and plump because of eating a lot.
At this moment, he was lying lazily on the armchair, as if he wanted a soft cat cake.
Yu Youning approached it while calling its name, and stretched out his little hand to touch its head.
Wen Xiaotian raised his eyelids and looked at Yu Youning, his posture still lazy.
When Yu Youning's little hand approached, it tilted its head and put its head on the palm of Yu Youning's hand.
Feeling its sleek fur, Yu Youning laughed out loud, "Mother! Grandfather! Look, Wen Xiaotian likes me!"
Marshal Wen's face was already smiling like a chrysanthemum, "Youning is so cute, it's natural that he likes Youning!"
Seeing Yu Youning and Wen Xiaotian playing together, Marshal Wen said to Yu Tingwan, "Those people in Yong'an Marquis' Mansion are not good people. Don't be sad because of them. If they come looking for you again, don't be afraid, just fight back. No matter what happens, your father will support you!"
Yu Tingwan nodded vigorously, feeling a sour feeling in his heart.
Although she has a shallow relationship with her biological parents, she has never lacked the love of her family.
-
Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
In the main courtyard, the atmosphere was depressing and somewhat scary.
Several people had been back for quite a while, but no one spoke.
Lin Yu looked at his parents with unhappy expressions, then at his sister with a worried face, and finally couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere anymore.
"Father, you don't have to be so angry. Since Yu Tingwan doesn't want to recognize us anymore, then let's just ignore her from now on. We can live our lives as usual without her in our mansion!"
Upon hearing this, the Marquis's eyes reddened. "Yu'er, what are you talking about? She's your biological sister, born of the same mother. We're blood relatives. How can you just ignore her?"
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
"It's all my fault! If I had asked earlier, I wouldn't have arranged a marriage for her, and things wouldn't have turned out like this. It's all my fault..."
"Mother!" Lin Siqiong's face was filled with heartache. "Don't blame yourself, mother. How can you be blamed for this? You wanted to find a better marriage for me just to give her a good life. It was out of your deep love for her. If I had told you who Youning's father was earlier, this wouldn't have happened... I'm not blaming you, but I'm just confused. How could Youning have the same last name as you? Could it be that you deliberately concealed it from the beginning?"
The more Yong'an Hou listened, the uglier his expression became.
"That rebellious girl! She must have concealed the truth on purpose! Why did she do that? Was she afraid that we would find out who Yu Youning's father was and take advantage of her?"
Lin Yu pouted in disdain, "Who would take advantage of it! It's just a general's mansion, isn't it? Ours is a marquis's mansion! In my opinion, she never thought of treating us as family from the beginning, so she kept it a secret."
Lin Siqiong frowned. "Sister, you wouldn't do that, would you? Is there something you're hiding? How about I go find Sister and ask her what's going on? After all, she's the eldest daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate, and she's connected to the family by blood. Nothing serious has happened, so there's really no need to make a fuss and end up estranged forever."
"Siqiong! You are so thoughtful!" The Marquis's wife quickly grabbed Lin Siqiong's hand, "Thank you for your hard work on this matter. If possible, bring her back. I want to apologize to her..."
Lin Siqiong was furious in her heart, but she could only smile and nod, "Don't worry, mother. Leave this matter to me. I'll be there soon."
"Sister!" Lin Yu looked at Lin Siqiong worriedly, "The old marshal has already said that no one from our house is allowed to enter. How can you see Yu Tingwan?"
"I'll wait outside!"
Lin Siqiong's voice was soft, but her expression was very firm.
"Sister, you can't stay in the General's Mansion forever. From now on, I will wait outside the General's Mansion every day. I believe I will be able to see you!"
When the Marquis's wife heard this, she was so moved that she burst into tears.
Even the Marquis of Yong'an, who was standing by, softened his expression a bit, "Si Qiong is the one who handles things properly."
Only Lin Yu's eyes were filled with heartache, "Sister, I'll go with you!"
"What are you going to do?" the Marquis's wife said without hesitation, "It's getting hotter outside every day. What if you get a heat stroke again?"
After she said this, Mrs. Hou realized something was wrong and looked at Lin Siqiong with a smile.
"Siqiong, you know that although Yu'er is a man, he is in poor health. I'm afraid that if something happens to him, it will cause trouble for you."
Lin Siqiong smiled gently and nodded gently, "Mother, I understand all this, don't worry."
"That's good." The Marquis's wife finally breathed a sigh of relief. "In that case, go back and pack your things first, and then go quickly!"
"yes!"
After Lin Siqiong brought Lin Ruoli back to Chunxueyuan, the perfect smile on her face disappeared in an instant.
These two old guys! As expected, I like whoever is more useful more!
I don’t even want to pretend anymore!
When Yu Tingwan took Yu Youning away before, they didn't stop them.
Now that he knew Yu Tingwan was the daughter-in-law of the Wen family, he was anxious to repair the relationship.
But he was afraid of losing face, so he refused to go himself and asked her to go.
Thinking of this, Lin Siqiong sneered.
Since she was allowed to go, she had to cherish this opportunity.
Lin Ruoli frowned, her face full of worry, "Mother, why did Yu Youning become the granddaughter of the Wen family? Is her status more noble than mine?"
"How is that possible!" Lin Siqiong immediately retorted, "You are the granddaughter of the Marquis' Mansion, and will be the Crown Princess in the future. Even if she has an old marshal as her grandfather, she can't compare to you!"
"But if Prince knew who her grandfather was, would he like her more?"
Lin Siqiong didn't even notice this just now.
Hearing this, his brows furrowed.
The prince will definitely ascend the throne in the future.
But if you want to ascend the throne smoothly, you not only need the emperor's favor, but also the support of the ministers.
The Wen family's network of relationships accounts for half of the military generals.
If the prince wanted to win over the Wen family and those soldiers, he might really get closer to Yu Youning.
Lin Ruoli kept looking at Lin Siqiong's face. Seeing that Lin Siqiong's expression became solemn, she became even more worried.
Her eyes turned red as she started to cry. "Mother, please think of a solution! I don't want the Crown Prince to like her!"
"What are you panicking about!" Lin Siqiong scolded softly, "Nothing has happened yet, and you're just sitting here worrying and crying. Aren't you just losing your composure? What did I teach you before? Have you forgotten everything?"
Lin Ruoli seemed to be frightened and didn't dare to shed any more tears.
Seeing her like this, Lin Siqiong regretted and felt distressed, "Li'er, don't worry, no one can stand in your way. Mother will definitely clear all obstacles for you!"
Lin Ruoli nodded obediently, "Thank you, mother."
"You and I are mother and daughter, what is there to thank for?"
Lin Siqiong's eyes gradually became deeper.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Siqiong was about to leave the house in a carriage, but she saw Lin Yu in the carriage.
"Yu'er?" Lin Siqiong's eyes were filled with surprise. "Why are you here?"
Lin Yu smiled brightly, "Sister, I'm afraid Yu Tingwan will bully you, so I want to go with you."
"But as for my mother..."
"Don't worry, sister. I came here secretly. Mother doesn't know. Even if Mother knew, it wouldn't matter. I wanted to go there on my own. You just couldn't stop me. Father and Mother won't punish you for this."
Lin Siqiong looked at Lin Yu helplessly, "I can't do anything with you. If that's the case, then just come with me!"
The carriage drove for a quarter of an hour before arriving at the destination.
Lin Siqiong did not let the carriage get close to the gate, but stopped it a little further away, waiting quietly.
As soon as the carriage appeared, it was discovered by the gatekeeper and reported to the mansion.
When Marshal Wen heard that the carriage from the Yong'an Marquisate had returned, he immediately stood up from his chair with displeasure on his face, "I'm going to scold them away right now!"
He had just learned from Yu Tingwan and Yu Youning what kind of life they had been leading in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, and was now furious.
He was being polite by scolding people away.
He now wished he could take a knife and kill those people in Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
Yu Tingwan hurriedly stopped them, "Father, they haven't come forward, they're just waiting a little further away. Let them be! If we speak or start a fight first, won't that just give them the leverage?"
The old marshal was well-versed in military tactics and skilled in fighting, so he naturally understood this truth, but he was still very angry.
The people from Yong'an Marquis' Mansion knew that they couldn't get closer, but they still stood a little further away and waited. Wasn't this clearly an attempt to disgust them?
Yu Tingwan looked at the sky outside and said, "Father, it's getting dark. Let them wait!"
Yu Youning applauded, "Right! Let them wait all night!"
Hearing Yu Youning's snoring voice, Marshal Wen's mood improved a little. "Okay! Then I'll listen to you and let them wait! If you have the guts, wait until tomorrow!"
Night soon fell.
It's still a bit chilly in the early summer nights.
Although the carriage in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion was comfortable, it was just a carriage no matter how comfortable it was. After sitting in it for a few hours, one's body would become stiff and feel uncomfortable all over.
Lin Yu was a spoiled child. After waiting for several hours, he could no longer wait and got off the carriage and rushed to the gate of the general's mansion, starting to curse at the general.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, an unknown object flew into his throat.
Not only did it block what he was about to say, it also made him roll his eyes.
Lin Yu grabbed his throat with both hands, his eyes wide open, "Ah——"
