Chapter 234 Under the Effect of the Truth Talisman

As it turned out, Yu Zhiyi's estimate was correct.

After returning to the Yu residence, Yu Chunyue intended to rest alone in his room and think about what to do next.

He completely botched the task assigned to him by Consort Yu, and also ruined his relationship with Yu Zhiyi.

In the future, let alone wanting to take advantage of Yu Zhiyi's influence, if Yu Zhiyi doesn't retaliate against him, he'll have to silently pray for her.

Offending a powerful sorcerer is no laughing matter.

He hadn't taken it seriously in the past because he simply didn't believe Yu Zhiyi was that capable.

But after what happened today, the feeling of not wanting to speak but having your mouth involuntarily reveal your true feelings is truly terrifying!

He couldn't even imagine that if Yu Zhiyi really wanted him dead, she could do it with just a flick of her finger.

Just as Yu Chunyue was feeling troubled, Madam Zheng pushed open the door and came in, immediately complaining, "Master, how could you bring up what happened back then?"

They handled that matter so discreetly that if the master hadn't revealed it in public, the martial arts alliance probably would never have uncovered the truth in their lifetime.

Now that their scheme has been exposed, they will face not only retaliation from the Martial Arts Alliance, but also the gossip and rumors circulating in the capital.

The same scorn and abuse that people used to hurl at Yu Zhiyi will now fall upon her and her husband.

Yu Chunyue was already annoyed, and hearing this made him even more annoyed: "Is this what I wanted to say? Who knew that wretched child was really capable, just a piece of paper, and he made people have to say what was on their minds."

"Is that talisman really that powerful?"

It wasn't that Zheng didn't believe it; after all, her husband and daughter had been forced to tell the truth by the power of the truth-telling talisman, and the facts had already been proven.

She simply sighed.

But Yu Chunyue was already angry, and when she heard these words that sounded like a reproach, she got even angrier: "Why don't you have that wretched creature stick a talisman on your forehead and see if it works as well?"

Zheng was also holding back her anger, and when she heard this, she became furious: "You were angry outside, why are you taking it out on me? If you're so capable, go find Yu Zhiyi!"

"So what if I vented my anger on you? If you hadn't made those mistakes back then, would we have ended up like this? It's all your fault! You're the one who brought our family to this point, so why can't I blame you?"

"Let me tell you, not only will I blame you, I'm also warning you that you'd better behave yourself from now on. If you dare to make me angry again, I'll divorce you!"

Zheng screamed, "Yu Chunyue, you bastard!"

She burst into tears: "I know, what those two men said is true, you really are keeping a woman on the side, aren't you?"

Over the years, Yu Chunyue had not taken any concubines, and Zheng Shi was the only mistress of the household. She was always satisfied with her charm and Yu Chunyue's loyalty.

These words were just said in the heat of the moment, but unexpectedly, under the influence of the truth-telling talisman, Yu Chunyue actually admitted: "That's right! I did keep a woman outside, and I even had a child with her."

“I’ve had enough of you, you jealous woman. If it weren’t for your father and brother being the military governors of Jiangzhou, and if I didn’t want to be branded as ungrateful, my beloved woman and child wouldn’t have to suffer outside.”

"Now that we've come to this point, there's no need to hide it anymore. I'll have someone bring them over in a bit."

When Yu Mengqin rushed back after hearing the news, he happened to hear Yu Chunyue spouting nonsense.

His usually serious face was now so cold and indifferent it seemed to drip water: "What Father said, is it true?"

Yu Chunyue was startled.

He still had some affection for his eldest son, after all, he was the child he had looked forward to the most and had devoted the most effort to.

Normally, he would definitely restrain himself and say a few nice words to appease the mother and son.

But now, he was unwilling to coax her, and immediately gave a cold laugh: "So what if it's true?"

Looking at Yu Mengqin's cold and stern face, he felt a surge of irritation: "I am your father, everything in the Yu family is mine. I can raise as many women as I want, and have as many children as I want. Do you, as his son, think you can control your father?"

Yu Mengqin, filled with humiliation, gave a cold laugh: "Fine, I can't control Father. You can clean up the mess yourself."

After saying that, he took his mother's hand and left.

Enraged, Yu Chunyue smashed a pile of porcelain in the room.

Unfilial son!

Wicked girl!

They're all a bunch of wicked creatures!

They've all come to him to collect debts!

However, it's not over yet.

In the afternoon, someone came from the palace.

Yu Chunyue is no longer a court official, and Consort Yu is merely a concubine in the harem, without the authority to assist in managing the six palaces. One of them is not qualified to enter the palace, and the other has no right to summon outsiders into the palace.

Therefore, Yu Chunyue had no choice but to disguise himself as a eunuch and sneak into the palace.

As soon as Yu Chunyue entered the Liuli Palace, a teacup was thrown at him.

Unable to dodge in time, Yu Chunyue was hit on the head by a teacup.

Instantly, blood flowed freely.

Consort Yu, however, showed no pity for her brother and coldly said, "You promised to bring Yu Zhiyi into the palace, and this is how you do it?"

"Not only did you fail to accomplish your goal, but you've also completely ruined your reputation. How could I possibly have such a useless brother like you?"

If it were the old Yu Chunyue, he would definitely have humbled himself and said all sorts of nice things to make Consort Yu happy.

But now, he simply can't control his mouth.

In his anger, he blurted out his true feelings: "You're not useless! You're not useless because you can't even coax a man! You're not useless because you can't even protect your own child, turning it into a monster that's neither male nor female!"

"Yu Chunlin, didn't you gain some power by serving men? What's so great about you?"

“Every time I see your family, you act all bossy and domineering. Let me tell you, I’ve disliked you for a long time!”

"If it weren't for the fact that whether you could safely give birth to the prince was related to whether I could regain my official position, I wouldn't have gone to find that rebellious daughter for you. Now I'm in this state, my reputation is completely ruined, and there's no hope of regaining my position. It's all your fault!"

"I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you still dare to come up to me and act so arrogantly? Who gave you the courage? You bitch!"

Consort Yu stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

At the entrance, the emperor also stopped, his once handsome face darkening.

The two men didn't stop talking. He could hear them from afar: "If you're not useless, you can't even protect your own child, turning it into a monster that's neither male nor female."
