Chapter 94: Stop Being a Lover and Be a Concubine (Twenty-one)
Although it was Yu Huo who prepared it, in fact, he didn't need to do anything. There were many servants in the house, and they had already prepared the teapot and cups. Yu Huo just had to pour the tea into the cup and hand it to Jiang Ye.
After doing all this, he pushed the other person forward. Yu Kangping took the tea and took a sip, then gave him a gift, which turned out to be a piece of shiny brocade that was worth a fortune in the capital.
Yu Huo exclaimed, "Dad, two days ago I asked you for this satin, and you said you had no money. Why are you treating me differently?"
Jiang Ye hurriedly reached out and grabbed Yu Huo's wrist, shaking it: "Use this satin to make clothes for your husband, don't make things difficult for your father."
Yu Kangping laughed dryly: "No need, I'll buy him another one."
After saying that, he raised the teacup, used it to cover his face, and glared at his debt collector son.
Jiang Ye offered tea to Madam Yu again. There was no need for a barrier between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when they talked. Madam Yu handed him a jade bracelet with a very fine water head. Then she took his hand affectionately and asked in a low voice: "If you feel uncomfortable here, tell me. Don't bear it, understand?"
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Ye to reply, she suddenly exclaimed, pinched Jiang Ye's palm and looked at it: "Yer's hand is beautiful, but it looks a bit big..."
“…”
Because Jiang Ye has always lived in seclusion, sitting in a wheelchair, and covered with complicated ancient costumes, his identity as a man has never been exposed.
But after all, women are very meticulous. When she took a closer look, she could see that even though Jiang Ye was not as rough as other men, his skeleton was still a little awkward.
Yu Huo was afraid that she would notice something, so he hurried forward and interrupted, "Mom, where is my gift?"
When Madam Yu heard him asking her for something again, she immediately forgot about it and snorted coldly: "You don't have a meeting gift, you are such an annoying kid, stay away from me!"
“…”
The Yu family is a simple family. After meeting these two, the little troublemaker Yu Sanshui came to mind. Jiang Ye gave her a box of gold made into the twelve zodiac animals. He was really generous.
Yu Huo insisted on taking half of it, and the stingy Yu Sanshui ran away.
He chased after him and saw the other party heading towards the Flower Street, and he felt terrible.
[Revenge 945: Host, it seems she went to a whore again...]
Yu Huo clicked his tongue and said, "Your words are really harsh. That's called a love transaction!"
【......】
He was too lazy to care about Yu Sanshui. After returning to the main hall, Mrs. Yu urged him to pay a visit to the old lady.
Old Lady Yu had so many good things, and she loved him so much that she gave him a pair of gifts as a greeting. Each of them had a jade pendant, which was said to be cut from a whole piece of jade. There was also a pair of earrings and a jade ruyi, which were said to be spoils of war that the old man had won.
Jiang Ye never acted like a princess in the Yu family. She accepted the gift from her elders with profuse gratitude.
Old Madam Yu had obviously aged over the years. She leaned back on the couch and whispered to them about the past: "When I got married, your great-grandfather gave me this set of priceless jade as a dowry. Back then, I gave the earrings to your mother. Now I give the jade pendant to you, and the remaining jade ruyi will be kept for Miao'er as a dowry..."
Yu Huo curled his lips and said, "Yu Sanshui probably won't be able to get married. It would be better to find her a live-in son-in-law."
Old Madam Yu chuckled and said, "Don't try to be cunning with me. Even if your sister wants to marry a husband, the Jade Ruyi will be left to her!"
After chatting and laughing for a while, Old Lady Yu glanced out the window and suddenly said to Jiang Ye, "You two can stay in my yard for lunch. Ye'er, I'm not very familiar with your taste. Go to the kitchen and tell them to make something you like."
Old Madam Yu deliberately sent him away, so Jiang Ye stopped being polite and turned his wheelchair out the door as he was told. Before leaving, he looked back at the heartless boy who was eating pastries, his eyes moving slightly.
When the sound of the wheelchair faded away, Old Lady Yu restrained her smile and asked, "Was the bridal chamber too noisy yesterday? I saw that the princess didn't look very well..."
Yu Huo lowered his eyelashes and nodded: "You know that all the nonsense I've been doing outside these years is just empty talk. In fact, I don't understand it at all. Maybe I went a little too far..."
Before she finished speaking, Old Lady Yu suddenly slammed the table and snorted coldly: "Is he really the Eighth Princess?"
With a click, the cake in Yu Huo's hand fell to the ground. He looked up dully and subconsciously retorted: "Grandmother, who else could he be if not the Eighth Princess? How can you question the royal bloodline..."
"Asshole! Why don't you tell the truth?!" Old Madam Yu looked at him coldly and said directly, "I was fortunate enough to visit the Nanhai Daochang in the past and met the abbot of Xiaoyao Temple several times.
I know that he is a good doctor and is particularly good at disguise. He can even make leather that is difficult to distinguish between real and fake.
But I know this leather has a weakness, that is, it will emit sand-like crystal patches in the sun. I saw the difference in his neck when I walked in just now. Do you still want to hide it from me? "
If we were to say who is the most scheming person in the Yu family, it would definitely be this old lady who is intimidating without even getting angry. Otherwise, my grandfather would not have been so obedient during his lifetime. There would not even be a single concubine in the whole yard, let alone a maid.
Yu Huo was thinking over and over again, but was afraid that his nonsense would make the other party angry, so he just gave up and told everything.
Fortunately, the other party had experienced many big scenes and did not get angry or frightened. He was silent for a long time before asking in a deep voice: "Huo'er, do you really want to participate in the fight for the throne?"
"really."
"Do you know that if you fail, the Yu family will be doomed?"
Yu Huo knew the world line and could read faces. He knew that Jiang Ye was destined to sit on the throne. If he did not intervene at this time, the Yu family would still end up with the entire family being executed.
He was actually a little unsure now. The first two worlds were too easy, but the mission targets in this world were very calm, which made him hesitant.
Before he could figure out how to respond to the old lady, she sighed, took off the emerald green ring she had been wearing on her thumb for many years, and handed it to him.
Yu Huo looked at the finely crafted ring in his hand, somewhat puzzled: "Grandma, what are you doing?"
Old Madam Yu's eyes were cold: "Over the years, you have suffered a lot for the stability of the Yu family. Grandmother knows that you want to lead the Yu family out of the shackles, so she will not blame you, let alone resent you.
This ring was actually given to me by your grandfather before he died."
"What is this ring used for?" Yu Huo was curious.
"This is the escape route he left for our Yu family. Now, grandmother is giving it to you. The road to succession is arduous and unpredictable. If anything happens, you can take it to the current commander of the Shenji Camp. He is your grandfather's adopted son, and even His Majesty doesn't know about it.
But you also have to remember that whether it’s rescuing you from trouble or giving you a helping hand, you have to seize the opportunity, okay?”
After hearing what Old Lady Yu said, Yu Huo felt that the ring in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
He took a deep breath, put his hands together to put the ring away, and said in a deep voice: "Grandson knows."
