Chapter 26: Eh? As light as a swallow?
"This child is very noisy, sister-in-law, you have to be careful, lest she kicks you."
Although Concubine Yu said this, she still handed Yuan Yuan to Wang.
[Aiyaah~ Yuanyuan won't make a fuss! Yuanyuan only kicks his scumbag dad~]
Bad dad?
Could this child be talking about His Majesty?
Wang was shocked by her own guess. She was so bold to shout.
"This child is a blessing! Just looking at him makes me feel happy! I wish I could have a child like him..."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yuanyuan with melancholy: "Little Yuanyuan, do you think your aunt can give birth to a child?"
Concubine Yu's eyebrows twitched with fear. Could it be that her sister-in-law really thought that this child could give her a son?
That's just nonsense from the little guy!
Unexpectedly, before she could react, the little guy started howling first.
[Live, live, live! You must have children! We can't leave my uncle and aunt alone in their old age! Although Yuanyuan is willing... but Yuanyuan also wants a little brother! A little sister!]
Yuanyuan pouted and kept saying "Aba Aba Aba", almost spitting all over Wang's face.
Concubine Yu covered her face and couldn't bear to look at it.
He wanted to take the little guy back home, but Wang was so happy that she immediately took out a golden gourd from her sleeve and put it in Yuanyuan's little hand.
"Hurry up and take it! This is a gift from your aunt! This is just one of them, there are many more! When you return to the palace, your aunt will have them all brought back to you!"
The little guy struggled to grab the golden gourd, his eyes lighting up.
[Ahhhh! It's made of gold! I'm rich, I'm rich! My aunt is indeed the boss behind Chunfenglou! She's rich!]
Wang's smile froze. The little guy was too amazing. He even knew that she was the boss behind Chunfeng Tower.
Even my husband doesn’t know!
"Ahem."
When Emperor Beijing got off the carriage, he saw the two of them happily teasing the little thing. He couldn't help but cough to remind them that there was someone else here.
When Wang saw Emperor Beijing, she was so frightened that she almost dropped Yuan Yuan in her hand.
She immediately knelt down and saluted, trembling, "Your Majesty!"
Why is Your Majesty here too?
Wasn't it said that a year ago Yin'er offended His Majesty for no reason, was disliked, and made His Majesty displeased?
How come Your Majesty came with Yin'er when she returned to her parents' home?
Emperor Beijing waved his hand, "Get up."
Wang then stood up angrily, cast a look at Concubine Yu, and led the way with Yuanyuan in her arms.
As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw Duke Yu and Madam Yu coming out to greet me.
The two elders were also shocked when they saw Emperor Beijing.
"This old minister pays homage to His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!"
Emperor Beijing hurried forward to support him, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, there's no need to be so polite. Today, I'm just the son-in-law accompanying Concubine Yu out of the palace. All those red tapes can be omitted."
"Yes, yes, yes." Duke Yu was flattered and hurriedly took His Majesty inside.
Yuanyuan looked up at the sky above the Duke's Mansion and couldn't help but complain in her heart.
As soon as he entered the yard, Yuanyuan felt unwell all over.
[So the entire Duke's Mansion has had its luck taken away? I thought it was only Grandpa's luck that was taken away!]
The Life Book flew up and landed above the head of the Duke's wife, trying to pat the black mist.
The result was the same as before, nothing happened.
[Your luck was also taken away from your grandmother! No, your aunt as well!]
[It seems my uncles aren't immune either! I just don't know how much of their luck has been taken away!]
"From what I can tell, your grandfather has been the one who's been robbed the most. His lifespan has been affected. If he doesn't destroy the evil, he won't live more than two months."
Madam Yu slipped and almost fell. Was she hallucinating?
Was that milky sound just now Yuanyuan?
Yuanyuan is the only baby here.
"Master, have you ever..." She was just about to ask Duke Yu when she saw him winking at her frantically.
You are an old married couple, how can you not understand what it means?
Madam Yu understood instantly!
The old man can also hear Yuanyuan’s thoughts!
"Did Grandma almost fall just now? Alas, having her luck taken away is the least of her worries. If this continues, Grandma will also..."
[Hey, why aren't my uncle and the others here? ]
The fortune-telling book flipped through its pages. [It's bad! Your uncle is being framed today! The students of Bailu Academy are holding a poetry appreciation competition at Chunfeng Tower, and the academy has specially invited your uncle, the newly crowned top scholar, to be the judge. Your good aunt, Yu Xunhuan, has colluded with her good sister, Xu Xianyu, to give your uncle an aphrodisiac to force him into an affair with her!]
[This way, your uncle will have ruined her innocence in public, and he'll be forced to marry her as his concubine! Your uncle will also be criticized by students all over the country because of this matter. Even if he is the new top scholar, your scumbag father won't give him any good position!]
[Alas, your eldest uncle even became suspicious of your aunt because of this incident. Your aunt was unable to have children to begin with, and she became depressed and passed away not long after.]
[After your aunt passed away, your uncle was so heartbroken that his hair turned white overnight and he became a monk.]
Yuan Yuanqi's snot bubbles were blown out.
[Ahhhh! It's Yu Xunhuan again! Why is she so mean? Is she really my grandfather's daughter? Why is my mother and uncles all good people, but she is so mean?]
[Eh, eh, eh?! Wait! My dear! The Sima records have been updated! Hahaha! You'll never guess! Yu Xunhuan is truly not your grandfather's daughter. Back then, your grandfather was drunk and didn't do anything with his cousin. But he was drunk and couldn't argue. He had no choice but to accept the outcome. And so, his cousin became his concubine while pregnant and gave birth to Yu Xunhuan.]
Your grandmother was devastated by this incident for decades! Little did she know that your grandfather was actually even more wronged...
Duke Yu almost burst into tears. Decades of innocence were finally cleared!
She is worthy of being his granddaughter!
As soon as he arrived, he restored the truth to him.
Madam Yu glared at Duke Yu, as if to say, why didn’t you say so earlier?
When Wang heard that her husband was being plotted against, she became extremely anxious.
Concubine Yu quickly pulled her back and asked Duke Yu and the others, "Father, Mother... Where are my eldest brother and the others?"
"Ahem! Your elder brother went to attend a poetry gathering held by the students. He didn't know that you and His Majesty were returning today. I will have someone call him back right away!"
After Duke Yu finished speaking, he quickly called the housekeeper over, thought for a moment, and then pulled out his duke's token from his waist.
"Butler Wang! Take it now and go call the young master back immediately! If he doesn't come back, have someone tie him up and bring him back to me! Tell him there's something urgent at home!"
Upon hearing this, Steward Wang immediately took the token with a serious expression, "Don't worry, Duke. I'll be there right away!"
After saying this, Butler Wang ran away with his men.
Yuanyuan glanced at Butler Wang's back and sighed.
[Alas, everyone in the Duke's Mansion is plagued by bad luck. Even if he goes, he can't stop it. Forget it, Yuanyuan has just recovered a little bit of strength, so I'll help you!]
She suddenly stretched out her small hand towards Butler Wang's back, and a ray of invisible golden light attached to Butler Wang, who originally felt cold, instantly felt a lot warmer.
Even though he used to fall every time he ran because of his weak legs, today he ran as light as a swallow and faster than a rabbit!
