Chapter 75: Stop Being a Lover and Be a Concubine (Part 2)
"Brother, don't say that..." Yu Miao looked at the little girl sitting in the wheelchair a little embarrassedly, then tugged at the sleeve of his 'unworldly' brother.
Yu Huo nodded perfunctorily, then grabbed Yu Miao by the collar and pulled him into the house: "Come here, I have something to talk to you about!"
Yu Miao stumbled and nearly fell, looking towards the yard worriedly: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Can you just leave me alone in the yard?"
"He doesn't pay any attention to us. You staying there is already an eyesore to him." Yu Huo didn't look at the other person again. He dragged her into the main room, pressed Yu Miao's shoulders to sit on the chair, and then bent down to pull her shoes.
Yu Miao was so scared that he shrank back: "Brother, what are you doing?"
"These shoes don't fit. I'll change them for you!"
"This is not okay... How can this be allowed?"
Yu Huo felt like crows were circling above his head. "You're so young, why are you acting like an old scholar? Just take off your clothes when I tell you to. Where did I get so many buckets for you to carry?"
Yu Miao was forced to pull off his shoes, a hint of relief and a hint of fear flashing across his troubled face: "But... Mom will scold me if she sees."
Unfortunately, the person who was rummaging through the box of shoes ignored her completely, and in the end she actually managed to find a pair of shoes that fit her.
These shoes were made for her to wear after the New Year. Actually, they fit her perfectly now, but her mother insisted on giving her a size smaller, saying that girls' feet look more beautiful if they are smaller.
Just as she was lost in thought, she saw her precious brother putting shoes on her. She was so frightened that she shrank her feet again: "This is against the rules..."
Yu Huo turned a deaf ear to him and raised his head to ask, "Are you feeling more comfortable now?"
Yu Miao was stunned for a moment, then nodded nervously, excited about his first time doing something bad secretly, muttering softly, "Much more comfortable."
It seems there is still hope!
"That's fine!" Yu Huo stood up and patted the non-existent dust on his hands. His eyes were fixed on the tiny needle holes on Yu Miao's fingertips. After thinking for a moment, he gave up.
You have to eat one bite at a time and do things one by one, otherwise they will both get beaten!
Jiang Ye raised his eyes and looked at the two siblings standing and sitting in the main hall. For some reason, his dark eyes softened for a brief moment, filled with yearning and envy, but it was fleeting.
This emotion quickly disappeared the moment the gate was opened.
The person who came was an old lady dressed in rich clothes, followed by several palace maids and eunuchs. Outside the courtyard, they were surrounded by two rows of soldiers holding spears. It was a huge scene.
The old nanny first checked Jiang Ye up and down, and when she saw that she was fine, she turned to Yu Kangping and gave a half-bow: "Thank you, Lord Yu, for taking care of the Eighth Princess."
My stepfather took a step back and said calmly, "I'm glad the Eighth Princess is alright. Madam, please get up. This assassination came too suddenly. The servant who escorted the princess here has long since died. I'm afraid I can't provide any clues about the culprits. I hope Madam will inform the Empress when she returns."
The old nanny nodded and said, "Your Excellency is so thoughtful. The Queen is extremely anxious. Please forgive me for not being able to stay here for long. I will take the princess back first."
"Of course I should." Yu Kangping made a gesture of invitation.
Everyone filed out, but when Jiang Ye turned around, Yu Huo saw the silver hairpin he used to tie his hair, which was in the shape of a sickle.
His heart skipped a beat, and his bad mouth came back: "See you later, child bride!"
Madam Yu's face turned pale, and she slapped Yu Huo on the shoulder, angrily scolding: "You little bastard, what dirty talk are you saying!"
The old lady pushing the wheelchair turned around and looked at him in surprise, then glared at him fiercely: "How dare you! The princess's precious body is worth a lot of money..."
"Madame Cui, forget it." Jiang Ye raised his hand to interrupt Madame Cui's questioning. The half of his profile that turned around was meticulously carved, and he stood out even more among the crowd.
No need to smile, just looking back is enough to make you charming.
Yu Huo just stood there blankly at the gate of Yu Miao's yard until his mother pointed at Yu Miao's shoes and howled in horror, and then he came to his senses.
"Miao'er! How did you wear out next year's new shoes?"
Yu Miao took two steps back in fear, then looked at Yu Huo for help.
Yu Huo had no choice but to look away, walked forward and patted her chest: "I changed them for her! Those shoes are too small, how uncomfortable to wear! Besides, wearing small shoes is not auspicious at all. If you wear too many, you might get schemed against."
Madam Yu was silent for two seconds, then shouted, "Nonsense! Change it back!"
As she said that, she was about to catch someone. Yu Miao was so scared that her brothers ran all over the house. At that moment, the little girl seemed to have torn up the painted scroll, and her whole body came alive.
Mrs. Yu pinched her waist and panted heavily, pointing at Yu Miao and saying, "Don't you have any manners? What will you do when you grow up and can't get married because of your big feet?"
"If she doesn't want to marry, then don't marry. I will support her for the rest of her life!" Yu Huo was a small-minded person. He stood in front of Yu Miao and was not reliable at all.
Mrs. Yu had been reluctant to strike him, having just recovered from his illness. But she hadn't expected him to be so furious that she couldn't stop herself from striking him. "Look at what you're saying! Are you planning to ruin your sister's life?"
The Yu family is a prominent family, and Mrs. Yu is naturally of noble birth. Although she has a somewhat hot temper, she has been raised like this since childhood, and her thoughts are deeply rooted. She is not as easy to manipulate as Yu Miao.
Seeing that his nonsense wasn't working, Yu Huo sat down on the ground with a plop before the slap landed on him: "No! Don't make things difficult for your sister!"
Then he began to scream, twist, and crawl darkly...
Mrs. Yu was terrified, her hands hanging in the air trembling slightly.
Yu Kangping didn't care about the idea of men working outside and women working inside at this moment, and trotted forward: "Son, don't be stupid again!!"
He first touched Yu Huo's forehead, and was relieved to see that it was neither hot nor scalding. Then he turned around and blamed his wife: "If you don't want to wear these shoes, then don't wear them. Why are you trying to scare him? I don't think it's a big deal if he doesn't wear these small shoes. Our Yu family is big and powerful. How can Miao'er not find a husband?"
"Sir? Are you crazy? Which girl doesn't grow up like this?" Mrs. Yu complained in a lost voice.
Lord Yu frowned, picked Yu Huo up from the ground, and brushed the dust off his knees. "Only those poor scholars who don't have the ability to pretend to be cultured would clamor about three-inch golden lotus. I didn't marry you because you have the smallest feet. As long as our Yu family remains strong, why should we worry about our daughter not being able to get married?"
Mrs. Yu: “…”
Yu Huo looked up at Yu Kangping, who suddenly winked at him, then used his free hand to hold the frightened Yu Miao, and walked away with one in each hand.
Madam Yu looked at the empty courtyard, twisting her handkerchief with her fingers in anger, and muttered in frustration: "You are the only one who can be a good person!"
Before leaving the yard, Yu Huo turned around and made a face at Madam Yu, who was secretly sulking. Madam Yu couldn't stand her temper anymore and pointed at him and chased him out: "You bastard, stop right there!"
Yu Kangping immediately reached out and pulled Yu Huo, frowning and warning: "Don't be rude to your mother."
"oh."
Who made him like this family? He just listens to what you, his cheap father, say.
