"But, but none of this is Rou'er's fault! She's still a child. It's all the evil done by Zhou's parents. What does it have to do with my Rou'er?"
"While your Rou'er is enjoying the life of a rich young lady, eating delicacies and wearing gold and silver, the child who should be enjoying all of this is working hard, not having enough to eat or wear, and suffering from hunger and cold."
These were the days your daughter Rou'er should have lived, why should my daughter have to endure them?
Previously, Yu Qinchun didn't want to think about these things and only wanted to keep the peace. He was too lazy to care if Sun was willing to support those people. Now that he has calmed down and thought about it carefully, he realized how despicable his previous actions were.
No wonder that child was disheartened by them. If it were him, he probably would have turned to the dark side when he learned the truth.
And the one who died at the age of five, his father was right, even though he knew the child had been reincarnated into a good family.
But the Yu family still wanted to keep a lamp burning for her, as a blessing for her to live a long and healthy life in the next life.
He didn't plan to tell Sun any of this, and even if he did, she probably wouldn't take it to heart.
She is now focused on getting close to this man in front of her, hoping to use him as leverage to find a good marriage for her daughter, Rou-jie.
Doesn't she realize that after today's incident, which respectable family in the capital would want to marry Yu Ningrou?
Thinking of her two troublesome sons, Yu Qinchun said coldly, "If you want to take Silang and Liulang away, I won't stop you."
Just remember this: once they leave the Yu family, they have no further connection with the Yu family. My Yu family has no descendants like that; from now on, they will all take your surname, Sun!
Yu Qinchun was resolute this time. If he didn't take this opportunity to take drastic measures to change his two children's habit of only obeying their younger sister, he might as well have a few more children.
He's only thirty years old this year, so it's not impossible for him to divorce his wife and remarry.
Upon hearing his words, Sun was so startled that she stopped crying, her tears still on her face.
His voice trembled and was dry as he stammered, "Third...Third Master, what...what did you mean just now? Why are Fourth Brother and Sixth Brother going to have the surname Sun?"
"It means exactly what it says. Since you like going back to your parents' home so much, then don't come back after you go!"
Sun was completely frightened by his cold words and ambiguous expression.
This was the first time in all the years they had been married that she had ever seen her husband show her such disgust.
Sun's heart sank into cold water, chilled to the bone. She belatedly realized that Third Master had suddenly changed and was no longer the same towards her.
It's all because of that wicked child. He's already dead, why should he live on?
This isn't their child who came back to life, so why should the family dote on her?
Such a good girl like her has to lose her identity because of this wretched child!
Before Sun could say anything more, the three siblings, except for Yuefu, who had been eavesdropping outside, rushed in.
Yu Ningchen said, "Father, Ningchen doesn't want to go to my maternal grandparents' house. I am a descendant of the Yu family, how can I take the surname Sun?"
Yu Ninghao echoed his brother, saying, "Yes, Father. Liu Lang shouldn't go to his maternal grandparents' house either. I am Father's son, so I must take Father's surname, Yu."
Yu Qinchun remained cold and said, "Don't you all usually love your sixth sister the most? If she wants to go with your mother, shouldn't you, as her good older brothers, go with her?"
"Father, we know we were wrong. Fuguang is our real sister. We will definitely treat her well in the future."
Please don't send Mother away, and don't send Sixth Sister away either. She's a girl. Once she's grown up, we'll find her a good marriage, and we'll provide a dowry and send her far away."
Yu Qinchun looked at his eldest son with some disappointment and said, "Silang, you haven't figured out where you went wrong, or why your grandfather and I did this."
He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Alright, you're almost thirteen this year, and you'll be taking the exam next year. After studying for so many years, go back to your room and think carefully about where you went wrong."
Then he turned to Ning Hao and said, "And Liu Lang, you're not young anymore. It's time for you to be able to distinguish right from wrong, instead of just following the crowd."
This son has always listened to his sister the most, and changing his mind now is not something that can be done overnight.
Although the two children were a bit doting on their sister, they weren't brainless. Seeing the disappointed look on their father's face, they were even more frightened than when they heard that they were to be given the surname Sun.
So neither of them dared to say anything more, and they obediently returned to their own courtyards to reflect on their mistakes, never daring to mention leaving Sixth Sister behind again.
They figured if all else failed, they could go to Sixth Sister's house and help her out from time to time.
The most urgent task is to win back their father's heart. Not only do they need to do this themselves, but they also need to find a way to win back their mother, because they don't want to live under their stepmother's control from now on.
They knew all too well what life was like under a stepmother.
One of their classmates lived under the care of his stepmother. It really proved the saying that having a stepmother meant having a stepfather. It was so hard!
Yu Qinchun had no idea that his two sons had already figured out his secret desire to remarry.
Yu Qinchun chased away his two sons and never looked at Yu Ningrou, who had been silently shedding tears as soon as she entered.
Her crying scenes were exactly the same as Sun's, but unfortunately the two had such different faces. Even though Sun was now thirty years old, she looked better crying than this girl.
The way she silently shed tears, looking so wronged, made it seem as if she was the most innocent person in the world, and that everyone else had wronged her.
In the past, whenever she made this expression, both her father and her mother, Madam Sun, would coax her gently.
Now, her husband, who had always doted on her, has suddenly changed, and she has suddenly begun to reflect on her past actions.
One was too busy to care about her, and the other simply didn't want to bother with her anymore.
So the three people in the room were speechless for a moment, and no one appreciated Yu Ningrou's performance.
Yu Ningrou was extremely flustered. Her two older brothers, who always doted on her, were completely intimidated by their father's words and ran away without paying any attention to her for the first time.
The mother, who had always been weak and indecisive, was powerless to do anything without her father as her strong support.
In less than a day, all the maids and servants around her were replaced, and even her most loyal wet nurse was beaten and kicked out of the mansion by her aunt on some pretext.
She has no one she can trust right now.
Yu Ningrou quietly left her parents' courtyard, thinking about the huge change in her family's attitude towards her since she returned from the Autumn Festival banquet.
After much consideration, the only people she can turn to for help are her fourth and sixth brothers.
She ran to her two older brothers' courtyard without her feet touching the ground, never expecting that a servant would dare to stop her in a place that she used to treat as if it were her own.
Both of her brothers said the same thing: she should go back to her own courtyard and not come over unless necessary; they wanted to reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors.
Little did she know that her two older brothers were so engrossed in their own fears that their father might find them a stepmother and that they would have a miserable life in the future that they had no time to care about her.
