Chapter 100 Slap Offensive
"Mother, the Duke has been troubled by him many times before, but he was never released; now he is released, what do you think about it?" Daya coaxed.
"I think? I think I've had enough. Let him go out and suffer a little and hit the wall."
"That's just one aspect. I think the Duke probably doesn't have that in mind. He can't bring himself to do it."
Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited until now to think of letting my son suffer.
"Then what are you here for? To see your father? You're thinking of caring about him now. I'm not being harsh, it's just that the opportunity has passed." Lu Qiniang said, "But there's no need to get close to your father in the Duke's Mansion. He's just an ordinary citizen now."
"Mother, the Fifth Young Master redressed your grievances in the court, bringing my father's name back into the Emperor's sight. More than a month has passed since that incident."
"So what's wrong?"
"The emperor didn't get angry again, nor did he show any disgust. Many people felt that this was a softening of his attitude."
It is true that Yun Ting has a mysterious admiration for Xiao Yan, but if it were not for the emperor's relaxed attitude, Duke Yun would not have let him out.
Duke Yun gave in because he thought Xiao Yan would at least not implicate Yun Ting.
It was also because Yun Ting made such a big fuss that he took advantage of the situation and let his son live a hard life for a few days.
Of course, Daya thought, there was another possibility, that is, Duke Yun already knew that the emperor had come to his home in disguise.
Since the emperor said it was a good place, he asked his son to try it out. Maybe he could make his son feel more present in front of the emperor.
Of course, all of the above are Daya’s own speculations.
Because Lu Qiniang didn't know the emperor's identity, and Daya had no intention of exposing it, she didn't tell her any more details.
The reason why Daya didn't expose it was because she had a vague feeling that it was the emperor's first visit, but it would not be the last.
If my mother knew about this, she would be very scared, which would be bad.
It’s better to be casual. The emperor likes her temperament.
Lu Qiniang said, "I hadn't thought of that. But what you said makes sense. If you're poor in a busy city, no one will care about you. If you're rich in the mountains, you'll have distant relatives. But these people have really good noses, like dogs."
"Mom, they are not like us. They have tried their best to survive. They are too idle. All they think about every day are these things."
"I don't have the brains for that."
“I can always adapt.”
Daya thought that her mother would eventually have to face a bigger world in the future.
But she has confidence in her mother.
Because there are indeed evil people in the world, but there are more people who will repay sincerity with sincerity.
Lu Qiniang yawned and said, "It's too late. Go back to sleep quickly. We have to set up the stall tomorrow."
"good."
The mother and daughter went back to their rooms and didn't mention it again.
At the same time, in the mansion that Xiao Yan had just visited not long ago, Teng Wenfu was playing chess with Duke Yun.
At the end of the game, Duke Yun lost two pieces.
"Forget it," Teng Wenfu said with a smile, "let's not play anymore. The Duke's mind was clearly not on the game today, so I luckily won two pieces."
Duke Yun frowned, "That little devil, I don't know how he's doing out there right now."
Teng Wenfu took a sip of the tea beside him and asked, "Does the Duke regret this?"
"I have no regrets about my decision, but he's really spoiled. I'm afraid he'll get into trouble when he goes out."
"With Xiao Yan taking care of her, you don't have to worry. Also, if you've met Qi Niang, you won't have to worry."
Lu Qiniang is a person who makes people feel at ease.
"My Lord, when serving the Emperor, the most important things are loyalty and keeping your mouth shut. I've only told you about this matter, because the princess saved my life."
"I know this, don't worry, sir. I guarantee with my life that I will never tell anyone else. Thank you for taking care of us father and son over the years."
"I like the Third Young Master very much, but his temperament does need some work. Even if we take a step back, it's hard to change his nature. As long as he stays with Xiao Yan, I can at least guarantee him a lifetime of prosperity and wealth. At worst, you can just focus on raising your grandson."
If he is really incompetent, just separate Yun Ting and pass the title to his grandson.
"When the princess passed away, I was so depressed that I couldn't get rid of it. I didn't want to be reminded of the past, so I went out to travel for several years. Who knew that after I came back, he had been raised astray. My mother dotes on him and doesn't allow me to have a say." Duke Yun sighed.
"Don't worry, Duke. Everyone has their own destiny. This old servant will see that the Third Young Master's fortune is yet to come. Just relax."
Duke Yun hesitated for a moment, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.
Teng Wenfu raised his hand to stop him from speaking. "Duke, please don't ask about the Emperor's situation. Even if you ask, I can't tell you. I can only tell you that the Duke's Mansion is already so wealthy and powerful. You don't need to fight for anything. It's best to be prudent and protect yourself."
"Thank you, Eunuch Teng, for your guidance." Duke Yun was very polite to Teng Wenfu.
"Why thank you? I just hope that when I'm in trouble in the future, the Duke can help me."
"Father-in-law, you're joking."
The next day, Yun Ting got up, with her face covered in powder that was rubbed off to the point of leaving only patches of it, her hair messy, and her clothes wrinkled as she came to eat.
Seeing this, Erya couldn't help but laugh at him, "You're already grown up, how can you not take care of yourself? Why don't you go home and find your mother?"
"I don't have a mother. She died when I was born." Yun Ting said.
The smile on Erya's face suddenly froze, and her eyes were instantly filled with guilt and panic.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I..."
"Hahaha, Xiao Yan, look, she apologized to me." Yun Ting laughed heartily.
Erya: “…”
She looked at Yun Ting as if he were a fool, but there was also some pity in her that could not be ignored.
Yun Ting also felt this pity and said proudly, "So what if my mother is dead? My grandmother loves me, my maternal grandmother loves me, my uncle loves me, so many people love me. I call servants and maids, do I need a little girl like you to sympathize with me?"
Erya didn't argue with him and turned around and left.
He's really stupid, really.
He will never know in his life how happy a child with a mother is.
He doesn't know what he has lost and is still so complacent. How pitiful.
"She was angry, and I made her run away." Yun Ting was proud.
Xiao Yan slapped him, "Go out and wash your face for me, then learn how to tie your hair and clothes yourself. Don't you know how to undress and put on clothes?"
"I can't." Yun Ting said righteously.
Xiao Yan: "Then go home, there's no one to serve you here."
"I can learn." Yun Ting quickly stated, "Xiao Yan, I've made up my mind. I won't go back unless I make something of myself and give that old man a slap in the face."
In return, he received another slap from Xiao Yan.
Lu Qiniang came in with water: As expected, there is always something that can conquer something else.
"Third Young Master, wipe your face." She washed the towel with warm water, wrung it dry, unfolded it and handed it to Yun Ting.
She really couldn't bear to look at his mottled face.
Yun Ting wiped his face roughly, revealing a clean and fair face.
"It's already fine like this, why do you need to put on powder?" Lu Qiniang said with a smile, "Take your time to clean up, the food is ready, we're going to set up the stall."
"Well, we'll go there later." Xiao Yan said.
"I won't go, I won't go..."
“Snap—”
"Okay."
