Chapter 38 Wherever Mother is, I am there
As soon as Yu Tingwan finished speaking, the Marquis's wife walked in from outside with an anxious look on her face.
She walked very fast, with hurried steps and an anxious look on her face. In the blink of an eye, she was beside Yu Tingwan and grabbed Yu Tingwan's hand.
"Tingwan, this is your home, where are you going?"
Yu Tingwan's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Mother, Youning and I have only been back for two or three days, and so many things have happened in the mansion. I should take Youning and live outside!"
"Nonsense!" Madam Hou tightly grasped Yu Tingwan's hand. "Everyone lives in this world, and things happen every day. What does this have to do with you and Youning? Besides, everyone trips over their left foot sometimes. Are you going to cut off both feet for this? When a family lives together, there will inevitably be some friction. Can't we just talk it out? How can you move out of the house because of this? Your father and I have worked so hard to find you, and we haven't even enjoyed a few days of family happiness. How can you just leave like that?"
The Marquis's wife chattered incessantly, but Yu Tingwan just lowered her eyes and listened quietly.
Seeing that Yu Tingwan didn't say anything, the Marquis's wife burst into tears.
"Tingwan, are you blaming me and your father? Your father was a little strict with you and Youning, but it was out of love. He was afraid that you had just arrived in the capital and might accidentally offend someone and bring about a fatal disaster, so he wanted to teach you more rules. It doesn't mean that he doesn't love you! Do you want to hate your father because of these things?"
"Mother, it's not like that." Yu Tingwan raised her head, tears in her eyes. "My parents said and did whatever they wanted for my own good, and I can accept it. I can understand their hearts. But Youning is innocent and lively by nature. She doesn't like being bound by rules. She really—"
"I thought it was something else, but it turns out to be this." Madam Hou interrupted Yu Tingwan, "It's not a difficult matter. Since Youning doesn't like it, it doesn't matter if she doesn't learn the rules. She can just live the same way as before."
Anyway, the Marquis's Mansion is rich and powerful, and it's not that they can't afford to support him.
The Marquis is right. The Crown Prince is used to seeing young ladies from wealthy families who strictly observe etiquette, so he is indeed easily attracted to a girl with a lively personality like Youning. This is not a bad thing.
They are all granddaughters of their Yong'an Marquisate. No matter which one the prince likes, it will not be bad for the Yong'an Marquisate.
Thinking of this, the Marquis's wife looked at Yu Youning with more loving eyes.
"I really like Youning's innocent and lively personality. Tingwan, were you like Youning when you were little?"
After being in the Marquis' Mansion for several days, this was the first time that the Marquis's wife asked her about her childhood. Yu Tingwan was a little surprised and a little happy.
Mother still cares about her, right?
Yu Tingwan smiled shyly, "No, Youning's personality is like her father's."
She was in poor health when she was a child and spent most of her time recuperating. She couldn't run or jump for fear of any accidents.
It took a lot of effort to raise him well by the age of ten, but his temperament had already been determined.
The Marquis's wife didn't ask any more questions, but gently patted the back of Yu Tingwan's hand. "You are my daughter. No matter what you look like, I love you. You and Youning have a good rest. I will go back and select some fabrics and jewelry and send two embroiderers over. I will have them make a dress for Youning overnight. Our Youning is lovely, so she should wear something beautiful!"
Yu Tingwan also took the opportunity to look at Yu Youning, "Youning is lively and active. Silk is not wear-resistant, and it is not as durable as cotton."
"It doesn't matter if it's not wear-resistant. We don't lack this little bit of material. Youning has to go to the palace to see the Emperor and the Empress tomorrow, so she can't be dressed like this."
If Yu Youning were really allowed to enter the palace wearing this outfit, the emperor would probably think that the Yong'an Marquisate was mistreating their own granddaughter.
After saying this, the Marquis's wife stood up and left excitedly, not noticing how complicated Yu Tingwan's expression became after hearing her words.
Yu Tingwan only felt endless bitterness spreading in her mouth, all the way to her heart.
She thought her mother was really going to start caring about her and Youning, but it turned out that she was doing this because Youning was going to the palace tomorrow?
Did the mother let the mother and daughter stay because she really couldn't bear to part with them, or was it just because Youning was valued by the prince?
Seeing Yu Tingwan sitting there blankly with a very lonely expression, Yu Youning hurriedly shook her arm gently, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are we going to leave or not?"
Yu Tingwan gently stroked Yu Youning's smooth little face. After thinking it over, she shook her head and said, "Youning, can we not leave for now?"
She still wanted to stay and see if her father and mother cared about her and Youning at all.
She doesn't ask for much, just sincerity, even just a little bit.
Besides, the matter of the original replacement has not been fully investigated, so she can't leave like this.
Hearing Yu Tingwan say that she would not leave, Yu Youning was not too disappointed, "Okay, if Mommy doesn't want to leave, then don't leave. Anyway, I'll be wherever Mommy is!"
Yu Tingwan laughed when she heard this, "Youning is so nice!"
"Mother is better!"
The mother and daughter looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Harusuein.
As soon as Lin Siqiong came back from seeing off the Marquis's wife, she saw Lin Ruoli had already sat up.
At this time, Lin Ruoli had disheveled hair and lost her usual dignity and elegance.
Seeing Lin Siqiong coming back, Lin Ruoli immediately looked over anxiously, "Mother! Yu Youning is going to enter the palace tomorrow, right? The Crown Prince is going to take her to see the Emperor and the Empress, right? Is the Crown Prince going to be snatched away by her?"
"I don't want my prince to be snatched away by her! My prince is mine! He belongs to me alone! You said I'm the future prince consort! Get rid of Yu Youning! Get her out now!"
Lin Ruoli shouted at the top of her lungs. The little girl's voice was already sharp, and her scream was so piercing that it hurt people's ears.
Lin Siqiong stood by the bed, looking at Lin Ruoli coldly, "Have you had enough of this? If you have, wipe the tears from your face! Look at what you look like now! Do you still look like a lady from a noble family, a future Crown Princess?"
Lin Ruoli was still crying, "Brother Crown Prince is about to be snatched away by Yu Youning, can I still be the Crown Princess?"
"Of course!"
Lin Siqiong sat by the bed and gently wiped the tears from Lin Ruoli's face. "If mother says you can do it, then you definitely can do it. Think about it, from childhood to adulthood, has mother ever lied to you?"
Lin Ruoli bit her lip and stopped crying, "But the prince wants to bring her into the palace tomorrow, but not me..."
"Even if the Crown Prince doesn't take you with him, Mother will still find a way to get you into the palace. When the time comes, you must behave well in front of the Emperor and Empress, and outdo Yu You! As long as the Emperor and Empress like you, and you are the destined Crown Princess, the Crown Prince's feelings are unimportant."
