Chapter 22 Does the royal family intend to snatch the child from us?



Yu Ningrou cursed inwardly, "You two idiots, don't come over if you don't have to. Do you think she's alright right now?"

But no one listened to her.

The servants who used to fawn over her have either disappeared or pretended not to see her. Now, she wants to pass on a message to her biological parents, but she can't find anyone she can rely on in the surrounding area.

Yu Ningrou then thought of Yu Fuguang, wondering if he was hiding in her courtyard right now, watching her make a fool of herself.

She must be quite pleased with herself now that she's in such a predicament!

Yu Ningrou was so angry she gritted her teeth, secretly blaming her biological parents for not killing the person back then!

If they hadn't come to my door asking for money, the third branch of the Yu family wouldn't have discovered that I wasn't their biological son.

She has her current predicament all because of them!

Therefore, she had to send a letter to her parents, asking them to seek justice for Yue Fuguang for raising her, and that if they were not doing well, she shouldn't expect to do well either.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but lift her foot and walk towards the moonlit courtyard.

Unfortunately, she was turned away again. The courtyard where Yue Fuguang used to live had been cleared out, so she moved to Mingyue Pavilion overnight.

Mingyue Pavilion is considered the best courtyard in the Yu family mansion, apart from the main courtyard and the courtyards where the masters and ladies lived.

Several women with daughters asked for the money for their children both openly and secretly many times, but to no avail.

Yu Ningrou, in particular, had secretly instructed Sun Shi to plead for Yue Fuguang several times, and now that she knew Yue Fuguang had moved in, she was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth to dust.

In the past, she would have gone to Sun to complain, but now, not only does Sun not care about her, but her current awkward status also disqualifies her from even having such thoughts.

She's not just having trouble staying at Mingyue Pavilion anymore; she might not even be able to stay at the Yu family home anymore!

To be honest, even the concubine daughters of the third wife, Yu Ningzi and Yu Ninglin, are probably more qualified to live there than she is.

Only after calming down did Yu Ningrou belatedly realize that without Sun's protection, she was nothing.

An unprecedented panic suddenly swept over her. She looked at the servants passing by and felt that they were looking down on her for taking over someone else's place.

But after the panic came endless resentment and unwillingness.

If you've never had it, that's fine. But once you've tasted the sweetness, who would be willing to suffer again?

With parents like the Zhou family, if she went back, she'd be devoured by that family!

Yu Ningrou quickly lowered her head and pretended to straighten the wrinkles on her clothes, trying not to let her family see her resentful gaze.

After taking one last look at Mingyue Pavilion, Yu Ningrou walked toward the courtyard where Yu Ningrong, the fourth daughter of the main branch of the family, lived.

Others might not dare to make a fuss, but Yu Ningrong, who always thought highly of herself, didn't care about any of that. She knew that this girl had been eyeing Mingyue Pavilion for more than just a day or two.

Regardless of what Yu Ningrou thought, Yue Fuguang was very happy at this moment. Who would want to live in a small courtyard when they could live in a comfortable big house?

Whether it's the layout of the courtyard, the flowers, trees, or the interior decoration, the Mingyue Pavilion exudes understated luxury, making it both comfortable and beautiful, perfectly matching Yue Fuguang's aesthetic.

Not only that, after they returned, both the old lady and the first lady sent them a whole bunch of nice things.

In addition to the three large carriages of goods bestowed by the palace, a corner of her sizable storeroom was taken up.

Yue Fuguang buried her head in the soft brocade quilt. She hadn't drunk much, so the effects of the alcohol had long since worn off.

Now that she was alone in the room, she finally had the chance to review everything that had happened during the day.

She carefully reviewed her conversation with the system and everyone's reactions, and based on her current understanding, she had already achieved her initial expectations.

What's more, my grandmother just came over and said that she would be added to the family genealogy in five days and officially adopted into the eldest branch of the family.

This was better than she had expected, having her grandmother personally raise her. After all, even if she was raised under the old lady's name, she was still the daughter of the third wife, and it was impossible to completely sever ties with them.

Now things are much better. With the clear-headed first wife and her husband as parents, and the third wife being the uncle and aunt, whom I've never interacted with, even if I treat them coldly in the future, no one will say anything.

As long as things aren't too bad overall, that's fine. She's someone who both values ​​and doesn't care much about reputation.

So the result is pretty good.

Yu Family Main House

"Master, have you explained the adoption to your eldest and third sons?" Old Madam Yu did not want her two sons to have a falling out because of this, but it was also not acceptable to keep the seventh girl in the third branch of the family.

“I explained everything to the two brothers in front of His Majesty,” Yu Chongshan said, still looking doubtful.

He listened quietly to the commotion outside before lowering his head and whispering to his wife, "I originally planned to discuss this matter when I got home tonight, but when I was in the palace, I saw that if things weren't handled properly, our granddaughter would be taken away."

"What?" Old Madam Yu was initially surprised. "Does the royal family intend to take our child away from us?"

Although this 'granddaughter' cannot be strictly considered her child, it is undeniable that the child carries the blood of the Yu family.

The ancients valued bloodlines, so how could Yue Fuguang, who shared the same bloodline as them, not be considered their child?

Yu Chongshan shook his head. "If the royal family really wants to take someone away, they have plenty of ways. The Empress Dowager says she wants that child to come to the palace to keep her company. Can you stop her or can I?"

"What can we do then? We can't just send our child to the palace like that, that place..."

Even knowing that Yue Fuguang was no ordinary person, the palace was a place where everyone had more ulterior motives than a lotus root.

She listened to everything today. This deity's life must have been too smooth in the past. He was powerful and influential, so he probably didn't use his cunning much, therefore...

Of course, for the strong, having martial prowess is enough, but she clearly didn't want to reveal her identity.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent over a month cooped up at home doing nothing.

If Yue Fuguang knew what the old lady was thinking, she would definitely say that this was a beautiful misunderstanding.

She was simply poor and unwilling to spend the points she had painstakingly accumulated over three years to improve her life.

Besides, before she added any special aura to herself, she was just a minor transmigrator.

Without substantial financial resources and formidable military strength, she wouldn't have the confidence to act arrogantly.

Now that's good, she has given herself a powerful identity and background, and with more than 300 points, she can buy some things that don't exist in this era to temporarily fool these ancient people.

Once they help her complete the tasks and she gets the points, she will gradually use the points she has earned to display her 'supernatural abilities'.

They help themselves earn points, and then they buy items from the system shop to strengthen the title of 'Little Immortal Lord'. This will soon create a virtuous cycle, which was Yue Fuguang's initial plan.

After all, most of the plans that follow involve the imperial court, and if she doesn't take this step, she might not be able to complete them even if she works herself to death.

Moonlight silently applauded its own cleverness.
