From what I heard, Yu Shengsheng's past is another painful memory.
But Yu Shengsheng did not dwell on the past. She quickly recovered and gave Yu Sheng a gentle smile in return.
"Don't worry, I just remembered some things that happened at that time and felt depressed.
But fortunately, we are out of that cage now. It’s good like this now, I like it very much.”
Yu Shengsheng is a sober woman. She has a young girl's yearning for love, but after experiencing the hardships of love, she quickly finds a way to escape without hesitation.
In the past two years, she has taken Yu Sheng to travel all over the country, allowing her to experience the warmth and coldness of human nature.
On the one hand, she didn't want her apprentice to make the same mistake as her.
On the other hand, she knew she would eventually leave, so she always tried her best to teach this person, the only one she cared about. She wanted to pass on everything she had learned in her life to her, and wanted her to live a better life than herself.
When she heard news about them again, she would still uncontrollably recall the past.
Every moment she spent with them in the past was nothing but torment for her.
It was a not-so-pleasant memory, because a wrong marriage ruined her family.
She lost her parents, her support, and her only blood-related son.
However, she came out of that painful time.
So, she can treat that past as a story and tell it to others.
"Actually, there's nothing to hide. It's just a bad fate.
When I was young, I believed in love between men and women, but in the end it was just a test of fate.
When you met him, didn't you learn his identity from him? "
Even after two years, Yu Shengsheng still knew her son's personality very well.
Being arrogant and stupid, he bullies others by taking advantage of his power.
Zhang You and the others were shocked by Teacher Xiao Yu's familiarity with her son. Chunhua continued, "I know. He started making a fuss from the beginning, saying that his father was the prefect of Tuozhou, and that he relied on being the prefect's son to act recklessly. When the princess caught him, he still tried to use his father's name to settle the matter."
Yu Shengsheng nodded in understanding.
"Although he was born to me, he chose Aunt Li as his mother when he was nine years old. Since then, he has not been close to me.
He has been like this since he was young, greedy for pleasure, and it is difficult to carve a rotten tree."
Yu Shengsheng gradually opened up and started telling the story from the beginning.
“My mother’s family was originally a big family in Tuozhou, but it declined by my generation.
My parents only have me as their daughter, and they cherish me very much. They don't want me to suffer through marriage, so they found a husband for me.
That person is the current governor of Tuozhou, Yang Li.
He was just a poor scholar at that time, and his father was willing to let him into the mansion because of his character and knowledge.
After marrying into his wife's family, he wanted to take the imperial examination and become an official. His father used all the family's money and spent three years to help him become the prefect.
In the first year after he married into my family, I became pregnant with Chi An, the one you met yesterday.
During those three years, Yang Li devoted himself to the imperial examination, and it was my mother and I who took good care of Chi An.
I have also invested a lot of effort in him, hoping that he can live up to his name, galloping on the battlefield and stabilizing the country.
This is my father's wish. If I were a girl and could not inherit his legacy, our family's martial arts would not be left without a successor.
When Chi An was born, we were all very happy, thinking that we finally had someone to carry on the family business. However, we didn't expect that he would be as cold-blooded and ruthless as his father.
Because I had high hopes for him, I was often very strict with him, especially after my mother passed away when he was five years old. There was no one to speak softly to him and worry that he would get tired from practicing martial arts. He became somewhat alienated from me at that time.
Plus, at that time, I had to deal with my mother's funeral, and my father's health was getting worse, so I needed to take care of him. So I handed him over to Yang Li.
The next year, my father also passed away.
I am the only one left in our family.
When I went to teach him a lesson again, he had already stopped listening to me.
And Yang Li revealed his true nature after there was no one left in my mother's family.
As soon as my father passed away, he took a concubine. Later, he even competed with me for the surname Chi An.
Chi An was originally from my Yu family and took my mother's surname, but he changed his surname by taking advantage of his position as prefect.
He even tampered with the story of him marrying into his wife's family, making it seem like I was marrying him.
Those who knew about it were afraid to argue with him due to his status.
I argued with him constantly, and that year I lost family members and had a falling out with my husband.
At one point I was so heartbroken that I wanted to just die.
But, I can't.
I finally compromised and agreed to be an ordinary couple with him.
Our relationship eased.
But only for a while.
Because after that, Chi An betrayed me just like his father did.
He recognized Yang Li's childhood sweetheart, Aunt Li, as his mother.
She said that I was too harsh on him and was not worthy of being a mother. I was not as good as Aunt Li, who always went along with him and cleaned up all his messes for him.
It was then that I clearly realized that it was no longer my home.
My husband betrayed the vows we made and had many other women.
My son, you have severed the blood ties between us and are unfaithful and unfilial.
So, I spent two years building my network, finding opportunities, and escaping from that cage.”
After hearing this, everyone felt very heavy-hearted.
Yu Shengsheng said it easily.
Those years that passed by in a flash were almost half of her life.
He entrusted his parents to the wrong person, sent them away alone, and was then abandoned by the son he had raised with so much effort.
How desperate she must have been at that time...
"Teacher Xiaoyu..."
Zhang You usually looks a little insensitive, but he is always able to keenly perceive changes in other people's emotions.
For example, at this moment, Yu Shengsheng looks no different from usual, but in fact, she is still bound by the memories of the past, and every time she recalls them, it hurts her heart.
Zhang You didn't know what to say. Instead of saying anything, she just hugged Yu Shengsheng.
A hug and a real touch will always fill the void in your heart.
"Teacher Xiaoyu, it's all over."
The hug wasn't long, but it was enough to comfort her for a moment.
After listening to Teacher Xiaoyu's story, Qiuyue was so angry that she was ready to fight.
"That idiot prefect! How could he do this? He's a son-in-law who married into his wife's family, and he actually took advantage of his wife's family's financial resources and then abandoned them?
He even allowed his concubine to bully his wife! He even turned a blind eye when his son disrespected his mother. He is truly unworthy of being a prefect!"
"That's right. If a man like him can't even handle his own family affairs, how can he handle the affairs of the people?"
Chunhua also had a lot of opinions about Yang Li after hearing this.
Dongmei was so angry that she punched the ginkgo tree next to her, causing the golden ginkgo leaves to fall down.
"How hateful! If I had known your son was such a jerk, I should have beaten him yesterday!"
Dongmei felt so angry when she mentioned Yang Chi'an.
Unfilial son!
