The atmosphere became colder. Yun Siyu poked at the bowl of rice. He really couldn't eat any more. If he had known, he would not have eaten so much. It was all because Qiyun's cooking skills were too good.
Yun Yi glanced at him, reached out and picked up a piece of pork ribs for him, and said, "Second brother, eat quickly!"
Yun Siyu glanced at him, then looked at the ribs in the bowl. Hmm... they look like they taste pretty good. Okay! Just eat this one.
Yun Siyu bit the pork ribs and squinted his round eyes. He looked so satisfied, just like a cat.
Yun Qian glanced at him and said, "Brother, do you know who I saw yesterday?"
Yun Yi looked at him in confusion, "Who?"
Yun Qian smiled and said in a long tone, "I saw Prince Xian go to Hua Street."
Who doesn't know that the red-light district in the capital is full of brothels? Prince Xian had just gotten married, and he went to a brothel, which was a complete slap in Yun Siyu's face.
Yun Yi didn't expect Yun Qian to say this, and he couldn't help but look at Yun Siyu apologetically. Although everyone was used to Prince Xian's habit, it was impossible not to be sad that his wife went to a brothel right after getting married.
Qiyun hurriedly looked at Yun Siyu and saw that he did not have any extreme reaction, but she did not know what he was thinking. She could not help but think that she must remind the prince. This must be explained clearly so as not to let the prince misunderstand.
Obviously, Qiyun was worrying too much. Feng Lingxi acted very quickly and was ready to take people to take a look in person. That would be much more useful than a dry explanation, although Yun Siyu already believed her words.
Yun Siyu finished eating the pork chop, then put down his chopsticks, not daring to eat any more. Hearing Yun Qian mention the Red Street, he couldn't help but think of what Feng Lingxi said about taking him to a brothel tomorrow. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hope that time would pass quickly. In fact, he had wanted to go to a brothel for a long time, but his master didn't allow it, saying that brothels were too dangerous. Although he didn't believe what his master said, he still listened to him very much.
But now Youxi is taking him with her, so the master can’t say anything!
But in the eyes of others, Yun Siyu had lost his appetite after hearing Yun Qian's words, and now he was in a daze, as if he was overwhelmed.
Seeing him like this, Yun Yi couldn't help but frown and looked at Yun Qian, thinking that he was going too far. Yun Qian curled her lips and stopped talking, but she was gloating in her heart.
Seeing that Yun Siyu was still in a daze, Yun Yi couldn't help but comfort her, "Women are sentimental, don't think too much, second brother."
"Hmm?" Yun Siyu finally came back to her senses. Seeing that he looked a little sad, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you unhappy?"
Yun Qian couldn't bear to be left out and interrupted again, "I think you are unhappy!"
Yun Yi didn't say anything. He was indeed worried, but neither Liu Zhengjun nor Yun Qian could see it. However, Yun Siyu revealed it in one sentence, and he didn't know what to say at the moment.
Liu Qing finally noticed that something was wrong with his son and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Yi'er, did General Su bully you?"
Yun Yi came back to his senses and smiled, "No, my wife is very good to me." Su Wen was indeed good to him, but she was also good to her two servants.
024 Liu Qing's Teachings
He knew that it was normal for a woman to have three husbands and four concubines, but he still felt uncomfortable. However, he didn't know who to tell about this. Even if he told his father, his father would only advise him to be virtuous so as not to disgust his wife. As a legitimate husband, he should be magnanimous and not be jealous. This is what Liu Xing had taught him all along.
But he had feelings for Su Wen, and once he had feelings, there was no way he couldn't help but care about her. Moreover, as one of the most prominent men in the capital, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. Seeing that Su Wen was equally good to his servant, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
He also knew that with Su Wen's status, it was impossible for him to marry only one queen. In the future, he would take in more concubines and mistresses, and he had no right to blame anyone. This was the sorrow of men, and all men could only accept their fate.
He thought he had prepared himself mentally to face these things, but when he actually saw them, he realized how bad he felt.
Perhaps he was just too ungrateful. With such an outstanding wife who was so good to him, he should be satisfied.
Liu Xing wanted to ask something else, but Yun Yuyang said, "Okay, let's eat first, and we can talk later if there's anything else."
The table then fell silent and everyone ate quietly, leaving only Yun Siyu staring at the table full of fish and meat. Yun Yi was troubled and was in no mood to pay attention to him.
Because he was worried about Yun Yi, after lunch, Liu Qing took Yun Yi to talk again. Yun Qian was also worried about his elder brother, so he did not bother Yun Siyu again.
Yun Siyu was happy with the quietness. She walked around in her yard, directing the few servants she brought with her, telling them which flowers, plants and small animals to take away.
Qiyun felt a headache as she looked at the mess in the yard. It seemed that the prince had made a mistake by forgetting to send a few strong guards to help move things.
Yun Siyu was busy and having fun, while on the other side Liu Qing was frowning and teaching Yun Yi.
After Liu Xing's repeated questioning, Yun Yi finally spoke out his thoughts, and the result was the same as he expected.
"Yier, Daddy has taught you a long time ago, why are you still so stubborn?"
Yun Qian interrupted, "Dad, please stop criticizing me. It's General Su who is wrong! My brother is so outstanding, he should be favored by everyone. But she is so good, she even has to serve the emperor."
Liu Qing couldn't help but glare at him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yun Qian said unconvincedly, "How could I say anything nonsense? If it were you, brother, why don't you just make up a crime and expel those two servants from the mansion?"
"Yun, Qian! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth off. If you don't change your temper, you'll suffer in the future!"
After teaching Yun Qian a lesson, Liu Qing shook his head and said, "It has been like this since ancient times for women to have three husbands and four concubines. If you can't change it, you can only accept it. Yi'er, you are the legitimate king now, and General Su likes you quite a bit. As long as you give birth to a daughter in the future, no one can shake your position. Don't listen to Yun Qian's nonsense and do stupid things. Don't think that women are stupid. They can even understand the struggles in the court, let alone the small backyard. They can see all those things. They don't say anything because they don't care. But if they want to know which men used what means, how can they escape their eyes? For men who are not tolerant and too cruel, even if they don't say it, they can't help but feel disgusted in their hearts and gradually stay away from them. Many people forget themselves once they are favored, and in the end they don't even know how they fell out of favor. In the final analysis, they are just arrogant because of their favor, which is a taboo!"
There is a reason why Liu Xing has been able to sit firmly on the position of the Lord. Even when Ning Xuan was more popular than him, his position as the Lord has never been shaken. This is closely related to his intelligence.
Although he would not like Yun Yuyang favoring other men, he would endure it. He was the legitimate master of the General's Mansion. When he grew old and his looks faded, and those formerly handsome men fell out of favor, he would still have his status.
His only regret was that he didn't have a daughter, but he was not afraid that someone would take his position as the ruler. As long as he didn't make a big mistake, Yun Yuyang would not take his position as the ruler. Because Yun Yuyang was a person who cared about her reputation and claimed to be loyal and righteous, even if Yun Siyu was not liked by her, she did not treat him badly in terms of food, clothing and other expenses.
Such a person would not divorce him just because he could not give birth to a daughter. Although that was reasonable, it was too cold and heartless. Besides, Yun Yuyang's other husbands were also unable to give birth to daughters.
Liu Xing sighed and patted Yun Yi's hand comfortingly. Their wives are important officials in the court, not ordinary people. Don't think that they are really stupid people who are blinded by lust.
"Although we shouldn't have the intention to harm others, we should also be on guard against others. Yi'er, we must be careful about the fight in the backyard."
"Don't worry, Daddy. I understand." Although she said this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Is this getting married or going to the battlefield? Just as I tasted a hint of sweetness, I had to face the cruelty of reality.
Early the next morning, at the gate of the General's Mansion, Liu Qing said goodbye to Yun Yi with red eyes and reluctance, and Yun Qian also interjected from time to time.
In comparison, Yun Siyu was pitiful. No one paid any attention to him, but looking at the bright smile on his face, he didn't feel aggrieved at all. Instead, he was a little too happy.
Those people who have been very concerned about the two young masters of the General’s Mansion recently are puzzled.
Suddenly, the second young master Yun jumped up and waved, "Xi, here, here!"
Qiyun couldn't help but smile secretly. Is the prince still afraid that the prince can't find the general's mansion?
Feng Lingxi looked at the three father and son who were saying goodbye warmly on the other side, and then looked at his own little wild cat who was alone but happy to the point of forgetting everything else. He found it funny and a little distressed. He reached out and patted the horse's head, then stopped walking in the snow wisely.
Feng Lingxi turned over and got off the horse. Yun Siyu couldn't wait to throw himself into her arms, "Xi..."
The enthusiasm of the Second Young Master Yun stunned the people around him. Feng Lingxi looked at his shining eyes, but knew that he was thinking about going to the brothel, and couldn't help feeling jealous.
Just as he was about to say something, Liu Zhengjun started to lecture him, "Si Yu, you should call your wife your master, how can you call her by her name? Also, how can you hug and kiss each other in the street? How can you do that? You don't know any manners at all!" It's not that he wanted to care about Yun Siyu, but in this situation, it was a loss of face for his general's mansion.
Feng Lingxi's face darkened slightly.
