"Grandfather, Shu'er has an unwelcome request."
"Shu'er, just tell me. No matter what you ask for, I will do it for you!"
Yan Yunshu knelt down and bowed deeply to her grandparents.
"After I reach the age of marriage, please allow me to marry from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion. All my betrothal gifts will go to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion."
Yesterday, Yan Yunshu gave up her previous idea of not wanting her grandfather to get involved in her affairs or the fight for the throne. This was because her grandfather was already deeply involved in it for her sake, so hiding everything from them and avoiding them would not protect them.
On the contrary, she needed to be honest and expose her past wounds, bloody ones.
This made my grandfather more alert and more wary of Xu Jingye. He was more determined to cut off all ties with Xu Jingye.
That's the real way to protect them.
But when these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Yan Yunshu's tears fell. "Shu'er's mother died young. My father would often whip me and lock me up in the woodshed. I nearly died of starvation, freezing, and thirst many times. The Prime Minister's Mansion is just a cold and ruthless prison for me. I know that this request is too unorthodox, but I don't want to marry out of that prison. Shu'er..."
Yan Yunshu stretched out her hand, revealing half of her arm.
There were still traces of whipping on it.
This is just the arm, you can imagine the rest of the body.
Everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
Grandma burst into tears and hugged Yan Yunshu in her arms, crying heart-wrenchingly.
"My poor grandson, why didn't you tell grandma earlier? I would have saved you from the fire even if I had to destroy the prime minister's mansion!"
In addition to being sad, she was horrified and lifted up Yan Yunshu's other sleeve. She still saw the whip marks and cried even harder.
"Yan Feng, you will die a horrible death!!! How dare you hurt my precious grandson!!!"
Grandfather listened to Yan Yunshu's accusations and looked at the scars on Yan Yunshu's arms. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. When he heard his wife scolding her son-in-law, he suddenly calmed down. He was furious and roared.
"What!!!! That bastard Yan Feng actually dared to hit my granddaughter! He even dared to lock her up in the woodshed! I don't think he wants to live anymore!!!!!"
My grandfather was furious and furious.
"Come here, get my sword!!! I'm going to kill him right now!!!"
The maids and servants were all so frightened that they just stood there, not knowing whether to take it or not.
In front of the side hall door, his uncle Wen Xuanming, General Wen, who was returning home from court, happened to see all this and couldn't believe what he heard and saw.
The maidservants wanted to ask General Wen for help, but General Wen's eyes turned red and he drew out his sword with a bang.
"Wait a minute, Shu'er. Uncle will go and kill that bastard Yan Feng right now."
As he said this, he was about to walk out.
Yan Yunshu quickly stood up to dissuade him, "Uncle, you can't do that."
General Wen stopped and said, "Shu'er, I must avenge you."
"You guys go down." Yan Yunshu looked at the maids and servants.
The maids and servants hurriedly retreated.
Yan Yunshu continued, "Grandfather, grandmother, uncle, calm down and listen to me."
"Shu'er, tell me, after you finish speaking, I'm still going to kill him!"
"Uncle, Shu'er suspects that mother was murdered by father and concubine Zhu."
General Wen's sword fell to the ground with a clang. "What did you say?"
My grandmother fainted immediately.
The court doctor came and gave grandma a thorough examination. He said that grandma was not seriously injured, but was just in a short coma due to excessive emotions. Everyone felt relieved.
But after my grandmother woke up slowly, she lay on the bed and muttered to herself.
"Rou'er, Rou'er... My poor child, it's your mother who failed to protect you..."
Yan Yunshu's eyes turned red, but she knew that now was not the time to be sad. Her grandmother could not continue to be stimulated at the moment, so she could only tell her everything slowly later. Yan Yunshu decided to talk to her grandfather and uncle alone first.
In the side hall, only my grandfather, my uncle, and Yan Yunshu were left.
My grandfather's brows were furrowed, and his face was trembling slightly due to excessive restraint.
"Shu'er, what's going on?"
"Before my father married my mother, he had already fathered a child with my concubine. In order to use my mother to rise to prominence, my father deceived my mother and married her. All this time, my father has been trying every possible way to establish his concubine and her children as his legal wife, and to get rid of my brother and me."
The amount of information was too much for both my grandfather and uncle to accept.
The raging fire seemed to be able to burn the two of them. Grandfather gritted his teeth and asked, "What's the name of that child?"
"Zhu Nianyan."
After my grandfather and uncle suddenly realized what was going on, they became even more sad and angry.
"They say even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but he didn't even spare his own children!"
"Father wanted to get rid of me and my brother. My brother heard it with his own ears."
"So my sister..."
"Uncle, so we have reasonable suspicion that when the assassin appeared in the Prime Minister's Mansion, mother blocked the sword for father. It was father who planned it personally."
"He's worse than a beast! I shouldn't have let Rou'er marry him in the first place!!!" Grandfather's veins popped out and his whole body was shaking violently. He had lived through three dynasties and claimed to have seen countless evils, but he never expected that someone would dare to bully and plot against him.
Yan Feng killed his daughter and tortured his granddaughter. This is simply unjust.
Damn it! Kill it! Cut it up!
The excessive grief and anger had already reached his physical limit. But my grandfather, a lifelong wise man, knew that the more outrageous, complicated, and terrible the situation was, the more he needed to remain calm.
"Dad, I'm going to tear him into pieces right now." shouted my uncle.
"Not tomorrow."
My grandfather stopped my uncle.
"Dad, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will seek justice for my sister and Shu'er!"
"Uncle, grandpa is right. We should not be impulsive. Now, my father has the eldest prince Xu Jingye behind him. The eldest prince's power cannot be underestimated. To avenge my mother, we need to make plans." Yan Yunshu carefully put her uncle's sword back and continued.
"Shu'er told the truth this time only to tell my grandfather and uncle that Xu Jingye also played an important role in this blood feud."
My grandfather and uncle were silent.
The anger in their hearts was like a burning fire, and the pain was like a surging tide.
At first, they thought that Xu Jingye and his gang were just using Yan Yunshu. They were worried that Xu Jingye would use Yan Yunshu and then abandon her, and that Yan Yunshu would be doomed. They were worried about things that had not happened yet. Now they know that the things they were worried about had already happened quietly. The mother and daughter had been deceived, hurt, and even lost their lives!
in this way!
It was time to sever those few connections, completely and completely, regardless of the cost!!
My grandfather made up his mind.
In the study of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, he vented his grief and anger in frantic cursive writing.
Finally, he put his pen to rest.
"Come here, please invite His Majesty Prince Huai to come to the palace for a chat."
