Chapter 258 He is the emperor, what he says is what counts
Looking at Mrs. Lin's face which seemed a little distorted due to excitement, Lin Yu sighed and tried to soften his voice.
"Mother, you must understand that a broken mirror cannot be mended and spilled water cannot be healed. I don't need to explain it further."
Doesn’t Mrs. Lin understand?
Of course she understood.
She wanted Yu Tingwan and Yu Youning to come over, not to act out a scene of loving mother and filial piety with them.
She just wanted to stand up.
Mrs. Lin lowered her brows for a long time, then suddenly raised her head again and spoke forcefully, "I don't care whether they recognize me or not. Go back and find them both, and tell them that as long as they can help me get back on my feet, I'll leave them alone and I won't bother them again."
"Mother!" Lin Yu looked at Mrs. Lin in shock. He never expected that Mrs. Lin would say such a thing.
Mrs. Lin frowned slightly. "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there anything wrong with me saying that? I just want to stand up. What's the problem?"
"Mother, if you want to stand up, there's no problem. But didn't the Third Elder tell you that he has already developed the most suitable recuperation method for you? As long as you take the medicine and receive acupuncture on time, you will be able to stand up in no time. There's no need to look for Yu Youning again..."
"Why isn't it necessary?" Madam Lin asked hoarsely, "You're not the one who can't stand up, so of course you can say that! The Third Elder did say he could help me stand up, but he also said I'd have to wait at least a year or two, and I can't wait! I knew Yu Youning could help me stand up faster, so why didn't I go to her? You said before that you'd compensate me, treat me well, and listen to me in everything. Were you lying to me? You're not even willing to do such a small thing!"
Looking at Mrs. Lin who was shouting at the top of her lungs, Lin Yu felt extremely unfamiliar.
Once upon a time, they lived in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, where their father was majestic and their mother was gentle.
But when I think back on those things now, it feels like a dream.
Why did things turn out like this!
Why did the mother become unrecognizable?
Lin Yu couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
"Mother, I won't go looking for Yu Youning. She doesn't owe us anything. Instead, we owe her."
"Mother, the Third Elder is an elder of the Divine Doctor Valley. Many people would be hard-pressed to hire him, even if they paid a fortune. Why did I invite him here so easily? Why has he been living in our house for so long? Do you have such a big face, or do I have such a big face?"
"Even if you don't want to admit it, I have to tell you the truth. The Third Elder is here because of Yu Tingwan and Yu Youning."
"We should be thankful that they have made it this far. I can't ask for more, and I don't have the face to ask for it."
The words that had been weighing on his mind were finally spoken out, and Lin Yu felt relieved.
"Mother, I will stay with you from now on. Let's live a good life. Don't worry about anything else."
After saying this, Lin Yu felt relieved.
Perhaps, it's time to say goodbye to everything in the past.
After his mother's leg heals, he can take her out for a walk.
Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Yu, and when she saw Lin Yu's face, she suddenly felt a little strange.
Is this still her proud son?
Thinking of what Lin Yu had just said, Mrs. Lin's face became a little heavy, but in the end, she nodded.
...
After having lunch at the Huainan Palace, Yu Tingwan and Wen Shiyan left together.
Yu Youning did not follow them back to the Wen Mansion, but left with Chu Huaixu.
Chu Huaixu quietly told her that Wei Zhao's mother, Jiang Niyue, was still in the capital.
Yu Youning wanted to go and take a look.
The two of them were sitting in Chu Huaixu's carriage, and not long after they left the Huainan Palace, they were stopped by someone.
The one who stopped them was Huo Qingchen.
Huo Qingchen hurriedly boarded the carriage, looking at Yu Youning and Chu Huaixu with resentful eyes, "Youning, Your Highness, you two are so disloyal! You didn't even take the initiative to look for me! If I hadn't asked someone to find out where you were, you would have just abandoned me and left!"
Facing Huo Qingchen's accusation, Yu Youning pursed her lips and smiled, "Who said we won't look for you! We are about to look for you!"
Huo Qingchen wrinkled his nose, "Nonsense!"
Although he said that, the corners of his mouth couldn't be restrained and turned up high.
Seeing that Huo Qingchen was coaxed into submission by Yu Youning with just a few words, Chu Huaixu also laughed.
There are advantages to having a simple mind!
This is so easy to appease!
Huo Qingchen looked at Yu Youning with a bright smile, "Youning, where are you going?"
Yu Youning didn't think much and answered directly, "A Xu and I are going to see Wei Zhao's mother!"
The moment the words came out of his mouth, Yu Youning raised his hands to cover his mouth, and at the same time stared at Huo Qingchen with wide eyes.
Huo Qingchen was actually trying to trick people!
When did he become so shrewd and cunning!
Chu Huaixu also looked at Huo Qingchen with some surprise. Is the little white rabbit going to turn into a little fox?
Huo Qingchen nodded in understanding, "So you're going to see Wei Zhao's mother! But didn't he say before that he would take his mother away? Why hasn't he taken her away yet?"
Wei Zhaodu was already the emperor of Nanzhao. After what happened before, he was in control of the court. He had such a deep relationship with his mother, so why didn't he take his mother back?
Seeing Huo Qingchen frowning slightly, his face full of confusion, Yu Youning and Chu Huaixu looked at each other, their expressions becoming very complicated.
They thought Huo Qingchen would ask questions calmly.
But unexpectedly, Huo Qingchen didn't realize anything at all!
This discovery is really laughable.
However, Huo Qingchen didn't realize that Yu Youning and Chu Huaixu certainly wouldn't say much.
Chu Huaixu smiled and said, "I just don't know why, so I want to go over and take a look."
Huo Qingchen nodded thoughtfully.
The three of them stopped talking and the entire carriage fell silent.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped.
The yard looked unchanged, exactly the same as when they had been here before.
Even Jiang Niyue seemed no different from before.
She was sitting in the shade of the porch, painting.
The painting depicts flowers all over the yard.
It is spring now, and the flowers are blooming particularly brilliantly, which makes people happy just by looking at them.
Jiang Niyue was very happy to see Yu Youning coming.
"I heard you guys were back yesterday, and I was wondering when you'd be free to meet me. I didn't expect you to come so soon."
"We're here to see Auntie!" Yu Youning smiled brightly. "Auntie, didn't Wei Zhao say he would take you back to Nanzhao? Why didn't you leave?"
When Yu Youning asked this question, Chu Huaixu and Huo Qingchen also looked at Jiang Niyue curiously.
Jiang Niyue smiled silently, looking a little lonely.
"In Nanzhao, I am already a dead man."
"Everyone in Nanzhao knows that I am dead."
"If I go back and get seen, how will I explain it?"
"Zhao'er has worked hard to get to where he is now. I don't want to embarrass him or cause him any trouble."
Jiang Niyue said, sighing.
"I know that if I stay here, I will actually cause you trouble."
"So I wanted to leave. But the people who had been taking care of me said that even if I wanted to leave, I couldn't leave without saying goodbye."
"Just then I heard that you guys were coming back soon, so I stayed, thinking I'd see you and say goodbye to you in person."
"Thank you for your care during this time. I have caused you a lot of trouble. Now it is time for me to leave."
Listening to Jiang Niyue's words, Yu Youning frowned slightly, "Auntie, you're not right!"
Jiang Niyue looked at Yu Youning with a smile on her face, "What's wrong?"
"The reason why Wei Zhao wants to fight for the throne is so that you and he can live well and honestly!"
"He's been through so much, done so much, and finally succeeded, and could take you back to live with you, but you rejected him. How heartbroken he must be!"
"If I can't live with my mother as an emperor, what's the point of being an emperor?"
"If it were me, I would definitely not be happy!"
Yu Youning's voice was soft, but every word she spoke was firm and powerful.
Hearing Yu Youning's words, Jiang Niyue was stunned at first, but soon a look of deep thought appeared on her face.
She was seriously thinking about whether what Yu Youning said was right.
But the more I thought about it, the more I felt that Yu Youning was right.
Over the years, the biggest wish of both herself and Wei Zhao was to live a stable life.
Now that she finally had the opportunity, she refused it.
Although Wei Zhao did not force her to go back, the letters he wrote were full of longing and sadness.
Thinking of this, Jiang Niyue was already a little moved.
But she was still a little unsure.
"But if my presence causes him to be criticized and the court becomes unstable..."
Yu Youning put her hands on her hips, "He's already the emperor, who can make things difficult for him! He's very powerful, don't worry, auntie! Besides, you don't have to reveal your identity! Just let him announce to the public that you are his...aunt! After all, he is the emperor, what he says is what counts, who would question it!"
Even if others can guess Jiang Niyue's identity, so what?
Whoever the emperor said Jiang Niyue was, that was Jiang Niyue!
Who would deliberately go against Wei Zhao on this matter? Isn't that courting death?
Yu Youning's words dispelled Jiang Niyue's last bit of hesitation.
Without hesitation, only urgency remains.
Come to think of it, she hadn't seen Wei Zhao for a long time.
Just by looking at the expression on Jiang Niyue's face, Yu Youning knew that she was moved.
"Auntie, do you want to go back?"
Jiang Niyue felt a little embarrassed, "Yeah! I haven't seen him for a long time, I miss him too."
As a mother, how could I not miss my son who depended on me for everything?
