Chapter 150 Xiu Yu's hope is nothing but happiness and freedom
Yinzhen didn't leave Changchun Garden until he had recovered from his injuries. Of course, during his recovery, Xiuyu cooked for him, making whatever her son, the ninth son, wanted. This made Xuanye, his father, jealous for days. It wasn't until Yinzhen left and Xuanye tasted Xiuyu's steamed cakes that his anger subsided a little.
"Stingy." Looking at Xuanye's expression, Xiu Yu couldn't help but smile and shook her head.
Xuanye took another bite of the cake and said with a smile, "I am stingy, I admit it." After finishing the cake, he took the handkerchief offered by Xiuyu and washed his hands. The expression on Xuanye's face changed, and he suddenly became serious. "Yu'er, tell me, who is it that threw dirty water on you, and why?"
"Throwing dirty water?" Xiu Yu poured Xuanye a cup of milk tea, her eyelids drooping slightly as she said, "Probably not throwing dirty water."
"What?" Xuanye smiled when he heard Xiuyu say this. "When others say bad things about you, you don't seem to be upset at all? Have you really cultivated to such a magnanimous level?"
Xiu Yu pursed her lips slightly: "It's not that generous, but I can't ask everyone in the world to like me. I just like people who like me." As she spoke, Xiu Yu's eyes met Xuanye's.
Xuanye gently grasped Xiuyu's hand, which was resting on the tea table, and said, "I understand what you mean. However, I cannot let this go."
"What's there to investigate?" Xiu Yu didn't care: "It's not a big deal."
"At this point, it's probably not as simple as just liking or not." Xuanye's brows furrowed slightly. "They don't understand you at all."
Xiu Yu nodded. "I don't need so many people to know. If it's not absolutely necessary, let's keep quiet. Old Nine's skills are inferior to others, he deserves to be injured."
"You mother!" Xuanye glared at Xiuyu with a smile, "Why don't you protect your own child at all!"
Xiu Yu had her own reasoning: "Every experience brings wisdom. Lao Jiu is a smart child. Slowly, he'll figure out how to protect himself. Right now, maybe he's just thinking that his kung fu isn't advanced enough and needs to work harder. In time, he'll probably think more and become more open-minded. He might not care too much about these trivial things in the future."
Listening to Xiu Yu's 'distorted logic', Xuanye pondered for a moment and actually felt that it made sense: "You are my mother, and if you don't feel sorry for me, then I, as my father, shouldn't feel too sorry for you either."
Xiu Yu smiled sweetly and shook her head. "I really hope our children can be open-minded. We should take care of the things that happen to them and let them deal with the things that shouldn't be taken to heart. This way, the children will live happily, and I, as their mother, can live a more relaxed life."
Xuanye lowered his eyelids slightly and asked in a low voice: "Yu'er, my position..." He did not finish the question. Finally, he sighed and said, "Forget it."
Xiu Yu knew what Xuanye wanted to say. She held Xuanye's hand and said, "Everyone has things they should do and things they are suited to do. The same goes for Old Five and Old Nine. As for your position, sitting there, you certainly hold supreme power, making decisions and killing people, which is very satisfying. However, not everyone will be as happy as you are sitting there. Yu'er only hopes that our children can live happily and have the freedom they deserve."
