Chapter 925: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Concubine 67
Yun Can had been standing at the door without anyone noticing, his face pale and shaky.
The maidservant serving nearby kept persuading the Second Young Master to go back, but when she saw the Duke's gaze sweeping over her, she was so scared that she knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.
Yun Ting slowed down his tone and advised, "Can'er, listen to me. You are not well yet. Go back and rest. What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and help the Second Young Master go back!"
Yun Can waved away the servant's hand, held onto the door frame, and moved in step by step. He had been crying so hard that his mind was a mess and he could hardly understand what the monk was saying.
His legs went weak and he knelt in front of Mrs. Dong, crying so hard that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Yun Ye wanted to help, but felt it was not appropriate, so he just stood there awkwardly, watching his brother cry, and he felt uncomfortable.
Mrs. Dong touched her son's face with a loving look, as if she was still the impeccable good mother.
Yun Can burst into tears, "Mother... Mother... Why... Why is this happening? Am I not filial enough? I shouldn't play around. Can I just stay with you when I get home? Why do you have to do this? Don't you love me anymore? Mother loves me the most. Mother will not hurt me, no..."
Yun Can spoke incoherently, "I don't want to be a prince. If I become one, my father will definitely scold me. I can't stand being beaten by my father. Big brother was born a prince. The whole Shangjing City knows it!"
"Mom, you poisoned me, I don't blame you, no matter what you do, I won't blame you, please don't harm big brother, okay? You admit your mistake to big brother, big brother is the most filial, he won't blame you, we are a family... Why do family members have to calculate against each other? Why?"
Yuncan was confused, Yuncan was in pain, Yuncan didn't know what to do.
He always felt that he was much happier than his elder brother. He didn't want to learn martial arts, but his father would agree as long as he acted like a spoiled child. If he wanted to study, he would have the best teachers to teach him, the best writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, and he could choose any academy in the capital. Even if he didn't study well, no one would scold him except his mother's nagging.
His mother is still alive, his father is kind, and although his eldest brother is a little unreliable, he always thinks of him in everything. He likes to pester his eldest brother to play with him. He can't imagine a better life than now.
He felt like the world had fallen on him. It turned out that his mother was not kind at all. She had always wanted to kill his elder brother, and even wanted to kill him as well.
Mrs. Dong pulled her son up. At this moment, all her disguises were taken off, and she felt a little relieved.
She has a son, the Dong family as her backer, and the support of the Eighth Prince. It is still uncertain who will win or lose!
"My son, I did all this for you! I was afraid that you would reveal something and arouse your father's suspicion, so I didn't dare to tell you. I wanted to tell you during the day, but you ran off to pester your cheap brother. What a foolish child."
"What have I done wrong? Yun Ye is occupying the position of the crown prince and blocking your bright future. He is the one who is wrong! He deserves to die and should give up the position of the crown prince to you! Nie Ying is a piece of shit, a barbarian girl from a borderland, and the son she gave birth to is not a good thing either. Your father is a stubborn person who insists on keeping his promise and refuses to change the crown prince!"
"My Can'er is the best child in the world. You are diligent, hardworking, well-educated, and of noble birth. You should inherit the title of the Duke's Mansion and live a glorious life! Can'er, mother is not afraid of dirtying her hands, mother is just afraid that you will not live well. From now on, we will be of one mind, and mother will definitely give you the best!"
For the first time, Yuncan felt that his mother was a little scary, he almost didn’t recognize her!
"Mother, I am living a good life, and my elder brother treats me very well. Mother, please be clear-headed. The position of the crown prince cannot be changed easily. Even father cannot decide, and he must report to the emperor."
Madam Dong smiled and said, "Silly child, as long as the Eighth Prince can ascend the throne, the Duke's Mansion will be yours. You were bought off by a little favor? You are too young, so you were deceived by Yun Ye. He hopes that you have no ambitions, so that you will not compete with him for the position of Crown Prince."
Yun Can shook off his mother's hand and stepped back. He thought his mother had gone crazy. No matter how young he was, he knew that his father was loyal to the emperor and his father was still alive, but his mother was actually thinking of joining the Eighth Prince.
Mrs. Dong thought she had someone to rely on, so she took off the mask she had worn for more than ten years and stood in front of Yun Ting without hiding anything. She suddenly felt very happy and had to say something.
"My Lord, I am doing this for the good of the Duke's Mansion. Yun Ye, that idiot, is too close to the Crown Prince. Everyone knows that the Crown Prince has long lost his heart. The Eighth Prince will succeed to the throne sooner or later. Of the three founding Duke's Mansions, only the Yun Duke's Mansion is still standing. You don't want the Duke's Mansion to decline, do you?"
"Now is the critical moment. You don't have to do anything. Just follow the Eighth Prince's arrangements and don't go against him. When the Eighth Prince succeeds to the throne, Can'er will naturally be named the Crown Prince. As for Yun Ye, as long as he behaves himself, he can keep his life and enjoy wealth and prosperity."
Yun Ting was so angry that he almost laughed. "I underestimated Madam. I always thought that Madam was just attached to her blood relationship and couldn't let go of her parents and brothers. I didn't expect that Madam actually had such great ambitions!"
"Do you think it's so easy to change the world? The Crown Prince has been in the East Palace since he was ten years old, and attended court at the age of sixteen. When the Emperor was on a southern tour or seriously ill, the Crown Prince served as regent several times and issued orders to all officials, all of whom obeyed. Now even the Emperor is afraid of the Crown Prince's reputation. A mere Eighth Prince cannot shake the Crown Prince's position at all!"
"The crown prince is related to the foundation of the country, how can he be easily deposed? The prince has not done anything wrong. Instead, he has stepped back again and again, respecting his father and the emperor. He is impeccable. Not to mention that the emperor has never revealed the slightest intention of deposing the crown prince. Even if the emperor wanted to depose him, the officials would not agree!"
"The Duke's Mansion is only loyal to the Emperor. I will be loyal to whoever sits on that position. No matter how the princes fight, it is all in Shangjing City. If the defenders of all parties get involved, wouldn't it give the surrounding enemies an opportunity to take advantage? The Crown Prince doesn't even dare to say that he gives orders to me, so what is the Eighth Prince?"
Madam Dong didn't listen at all. She had too close a relationship with the Dong family and only had eyes for the Eighth Prince's current favor. Yun Ting didn't say that to her, but to Yun Can, to prevent Yun Can from going astray.
Yun Ting originally did not want to kill Madam Dong. He thought of divorcing her, sending her back to her parents' home, and letting the Dong family find a place to settle her. From then on, Madam Dong would have nothing to do with the Duke's Mansion.
The marriage was granted by His Majesty, so divorcing the wife is indeed a bit troublesome, but it is not impossible.
But Madam Dong was too crazy, and even wanted to drag Yun Can down with her. He became murderous and really wanted to kill Madam Dong!
Yun Can knew that his mother had made a serious mistake, which not only harmed his elder brother, but would even bring ruin to the entire Duke's Mansion!
But that was his biological mother. He knelt in front of Yun Ting and said, "I will never go to the Dong family again. I will not see my grandparents, nor go out to play with my uncles. I will stay away from the Eighth Prince."
"Please, Daddy, spare Mom's life. Daddy, please punish me. Mom did this all for me. I will take good care of Mom in the future and never let her make a mistake again."
