Chapter 146 Pretending Not to Know He Was Humiliated

But Duke Yun's happiness did not last long.

He excitedly went to find his mother, the ancestor of the Duke's Mansion.

But the ancestor didn't see him.

To be precise, it was after he kicked Yun Ting out of the house that the old ancestor became angry and refused to see him.

Today, Duke Yun shamelessly shouted in my yard, "Mother, mother, it's good news from Yun Ting."

Only then did the old ancestor reluctantly see him.

Of course, he didn't look happy when they met, and he said stubbornly, "Do you still care whether my Ting'er is okay or not? Didn't someone say that he is not his son?"

Faced with his mother's sarcasm, Duke Yun could only bow his head and admit his mistake, then happily told the story of Daya.

Unexpectedly, the ancestor was very angry.

"There are many noble ladies in the world, and you want my Ting'er to find a common girl? I think you are crazy."

"Mother, you can't say that. A hero doesn't judge by his background. I've met that girl a few times. She's truly rare and outstanding. The most important thing is that Yun Ting listens to her."

The ancestor hesitated.

If we can really control Yun Ting and make him make progress, it seems that it is not impossible to consider it.

But then I thought, how could a woman who would become the owner of the Duke's Mansion come from the market?

The vision and rules are not enough in all aspects.

Duke Yun praised Daya to the sky, but it did not dispel the old ancestor's concerns.

"Let's talk about it later," the old ancestor said with little interest. "Although Ting'er is old enough, he still has the mind of a child. There's no need to rush. We have to pick the best one. It's better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality. Besides, what's the point of you and me getting excited? Ting'er's marriage still needs the Queen Mother's approval."

Yun Ting is not only the ancestor's favorite, but also the empress dowager's favorite.

In other words, the Empress Dowager has lived in Chengde Villa for half a year and has not returned to Beijing yet, otherwise she would definitely summon Yun Ting.

For the Queen Mother, the only flesh and blood left by her most beloved youngest daughter was a pain that penetrated her bones.

The Queen Mother doted on this grandson even more than her own grandson.

None of the princes were as respectable as Yun Ting in front of the empress dowager.

Duke Yun thought about it and it seemed to be the case.

Oh, I was so excited for nothing.

I always feel it's a pity.

"Then wait until the Queen Mother comes back," he said, still unwilling to give up, "and see if there's a chance for her to meet that girl. I think she'll like her, too."

When the Queen Mother was young, she was also a very dashing person.

She herself was not of high birth, and she had not yet taken a liking to the late emperor.

The late emperor used all his strength to marry the empress dowager, and he cherished and treated her well throughout his life.

The Queen Mother did not disappoint him and managed the harem in an orderly manner.

The previous emperor was hot-tempered and often took his anger out on his court officials.

The court officials came to the Queen Mother for help.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager gave the late Emperor many advice on matters of the previous dynasty, but she was not attached to power.

No one said that the Queen Mother should not interfere in the previous dynasty, because anyone could ask the Queen Mother for help and intercede.

When the emperor ascended the throne, there was no conflict among his brothers, because he had been the crown prince since birth, and the late emperor did not give any other sons any room for imagination.

The most honorable status is given to the woman you love most and the son she gives birth to.

To a certain extent, the emperor also inherited the characteristics of his parents.

The emperor was also very affectionate towards the queen and had chosen the crown prince from the very beginning.

It can be said that from the perspective of Duke Yun, although he was almost sentenced to death by the Queen Mother to accompany his wife, he still felt that the Queen Mother had influenced at least three generations of the royal family.

These three generations may have made some right and some wrong, but none of them went astray.

Therefore, Duke Yun felt that if Yun Ting could find a good wife, he could also ensure the prosperity of the Duke Yun’s Mansion for another three generations.

If it wasn't Daya, he would feel very sorry.

Daya didn't know that she had been chosen by someone. She was with Erya, listening to Lu Qinniang's instructions.

"You heard a lot of rumors about your father at the dock today..."

What Yun Ting told her has now been spread out.

Erya clenched her fists, "Mom, Cheng Jiuwan is too bullying!"

"Even if they are stronger than us and bully us, we have to accept it." Lu Qiniang said, "Remember, we are not being soft on them. We are doing this to make a living and earn money."

"Yes. When we become bigger and stronger than him in the future..." Arya said gritting her teeth.

"Then let's not learn from him to bully others." Lu Qiniang said lightly.

Erya: “…”

So, life is so frustrating, and it will be frustrating until death, right?

"When people bully us, we hate them. When we bully others, they hate us too," Lu Qiniang said. "Can't we just live a good life? Business is done by others, so why not be a good person and make others hate you without being remembered for your kindness? Is it worth it just to show off? Everyone gets old one day, and dynasties change, let alone a dock boss."

"Wait, we can't talk about changing dynasties. It's treasonous." Lu Qiniang quickly explained.

Daya couldn't help laughing, "Mom, we won't tell anyone."

"Yeah. Back to the matter of your father, you two, me, and our whole family will just pretend we don't know. Do you hear me?"

Dayalan was kind-hearted and understood what she meant, so she nodded.

Arya said, "Why? My father has been wronged, and I want to comfort him and tell him that we stand with him!"

"You behave well, do more work, and let him do less, then he will know that you treat him well." Lu Qiniang said.

Erya: “…”

Daya wanted to say something, but she didn't open her mouth.

There will also be comparisons between sisters.

If she overacts, it will make her sisters uncomfortable, especially Erya, who has a picky personality and is easily provoked to rebel.

So some things should be left to mother to say.

Since the mother educates every child equally, Erya will be more likely to listen.

Lu Qiniang said, "Your father must be feeling bad, but if we bring it up again, it won't comfort him, it will only open up his scars. Erya, think about it, if you had disobeyed me yesterday and I had beaten you up, wouldn't you have felt embarrassed? You're already such a grown-up girl, and you still got beaten up."

"Mom, can't you change the analogy?" Erya stomped her feet.

"Look, you don't even like my analogy. Besides, a grown man like your father has to be more respectable. Is it really honorable to say in front of his wife and daughter that he was bullied outside and apologized for it?"

Therefore, the best thing to do is for them to pretend not to know so that Xiao Yan can digest those emotions as quickly as possible instead of deepening the shame.

"All we can do is make your father happy at home." Lu Qin's mother said, "Daya, find an excuse to cook a few more dishes tonight, and bring out the peach blossom wine..."

"Mom, I've finished the peach blossom wine."

"Then go buy some wine. I'll have a couple of drinks with him, and then we can go to sleep soundly and stop thinking about it. This matter will be over soon."

Sometimes bringing it up again and again causes deeper hurt.

"Okay." Daya nodded.

Erya also nodded: "Mom, what you said makes sense, I didn't think of it. Dad is really so pitiful!"

"Why should he be pitied?" Lu Qinniang said, "He has enough to eat and drink, earns money, and brings so many people to work. He is not pitiful. Erya, remember, no one can hold their head high forever. You bow your head, not for others, but to make your own life better and go further. When your father becomes the General Po Lu again in the future, he won't even have the thought of revenge. He won't even bother to think about such trivial matters. Would you mind if a mosquito bit you once?"

At that time, I wanted to kill the mosquito, but afterwards, I would never be obsessed with it.

Because it's not worth mentioning.
