"Are you Jin'er?"
Yu Jinshu bowed: "Daddy, if I'm not Jin'er, who else could I be?"
Yu Xiaoyuan looked at the girl in front of him. It was definitely his eldest daughter, Yu Jinshu. "You, how come you are so thin? And you look..." She was so beautiful, even more beautiful than Wen when she was nineteen years ago.
"Daddy, aren't you going to let me enter the palace? I was fat and ugly before, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the first level of entering the palace! Then I will have to let my sister enter the palace, won't you be heartbroken?"
Yu Jinshu's words were full of sarcasm.
Yu Xiaoyuan could hear the discontent in his eldest daughter's tone. Looking at such a beautiful daughter, his heart couldn't help but soften a little. "You are my daughter, and I am also heartbroken to see you enter the palace. But Yun'er has been spoiled, and I am afraid that life will be difficult for you in the palace."
Yu Jinshu chuckled softly, "Daddy thinks I've had a hard life since I was a child, so even if I go to the palace, it doesn't matter how hard it is, it's still hard anyway."
Yu Xiaoyuan's face darkened as he heard these words. He then remembered something important and glanced around the yard. "Where's that vicious dog in your yard? It bit your stepmother and your sister. We need to kill it before it bites anyone again."
Yu Jinshu looked around pretentiously and said, "I don't know where he went!"
Yu Xiaoyuan waved his hand and said, "Find that vicious dog and kill it."
Yu Jinshu twitched the corners of his lips slightly, but did not stop them, allowing the guards to go and find them.
She brought a chair for Yu Xiaoyuan to sit on.
Yu Xiaoyuan sat down with his butt, but fell flat on his face. "Ouch!"
Yu Jinshu just thought it was funny, but immediately suppressed his laughter and stepped forward to show concern: "Dad, are you okay? Look at the things in my yard, they were all sent by Second Mother. She said that a young lady like me is only worthy of these broken tables and chairs."
Yu Xiaoyuan originally wanted to curse, but after hearing what Yu Jinshu said, he was too embarrassed to speak.
Over the past decade, he has hardly cared about the affairs in the backyard and almost never set foot in this small, broken courtyard.
The reason was that he didn't want to see a crazy woman like Wen, and felt that a crazy woman would bring shame to him.
Yu Jinshu went into the room and poured a cup of tea for Yu Xiaoyuan.
Yu Xiaoyuan took it and drank it, but he felt a sharp pain in his mouth. He looked down and found that there was a crack in the teacup. His mouth was cut by the sharp crack.
He was so angry that he threw the teacup to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
Just as he was about to curse, Yu Jinshu said hurriedly, "Dad, this teacup has been used for eighteen years. Even when I was a kid and was so naughty, I didn't dare to smash it. Now that you've smashed it, I have no teacups left in my room. In the past, when I needed something in my room, Second Mother always said I wasn't worthy of good things, and all she sent me were broken. But it's good enough to be usable. It's been eighteen years, and I'm used to it."
Yu Xiaoyuan's words that were about to be sworn in were choked on his lips. He never imagined that his eldest daughter would live such a life.
Zou Manmiao also went too far.
Several guards searched the small, dilapidated courtyard for several times but couldn't find the dog, so they all ran out.
"My Lord, I didn't see the dog."
"I haven't seen it either."
Yu Xiaoyuan frowned and looked at Yu Jinshu: "Where's the dog?"
Yu Jinshu shook his head: "I don't know! Maybe he went out to play somewhere."
Yu Xiaoyuan was unwilling to give up, so he went to take a look at a few rooms. Seeing the dilapidated appearance of the rooms, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Especially after arriving at the house where Wen had lived before, he looked at the iron chain on the ground and the empty house, then turned to Yu Jinshu and asked, "How is your mother doing now?"
Yu Jinshu only smiled and said, "Very good, much better, no, much better. In short, my mother became very happy after leaving the Marquis' Mansion."
Yu Xiaoyuan said coldly: "What does a madman know about happiness?"
Yu Jinshu just smiled and said nothing.
Yu Xiaoyuan took another look at the two chains and became curious. Will it really be okay if Wen leaves the Marquis' Mansion?
Logically speaking, I wouldn't be able to survive without him!
Yu Jinshu watched Yu Xiaoyuan leave the small courtyard in disappointment, but he did not go towards the main courtyard, but walked towards the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
Are you going to find your mother?
Yu Jinshu followed secretly.
In Shili Lane, East Street, Yu Jinshu saw that Yu Xiaoyuan's carriage had indeed stopped in front of his mother's house.
But at this time, mother Wen was talking to a tall and mighty man in front of the door.
"You mended the patch on my court robe so well that it's not even noticeable. You must take this money."
"No, no. I appreciate your kindness, General. But I have something else to do, so I have to go back first."
Wen pushed the wooden box in her hand back to the general and was about to go home, but the general stepped forward to stop Wen.
Yu Xiaoyuan sat in the carriage and looked at the man talking to Wen, who was none other than General Pei Huaixuan, who had just returned from a victorious battle in the northern border and had been generously rewarded by the emperor.
Pei Huaixuan has never remarried since his wife passed away five years ago. When he came back a few days ago, he even refused the emperor's offer to marry him to a young girl, saying that he already had someone he loved.
Judging from this situation, the one Pei Huaixuan loves in his heart must be Wen, right?
And this Wen, she doesn't look crazy at all, and she seems to have become prettier. She has even more charm than when she was a girl, and is very attractive.
"Baozhu, you're having a hard time living alone right now. This one hundred taels reward is my token of my appreciation. The maid in my mansion has already told you about my feelings. Don't worry, I won't hold a grudge against you in the past. Now that you're single, and I'm single too, it's perfect for us to be together."
