Liu Yanbo said those words directly, he was not afraid that Liu Yuqin would be unhappy.
"She keeps stepping on other people's boundaries," Liu Yanbo said. "When she got engaged, she wasn't happy with her name and wanted it changed to Yuqin, saying it would make things easier for her in-laws. But did anyone else change it? Only she did."
Regardless of whether Liu's father and mother agreed or not, these people spread the news.
This made it seem as if Father Liu really loved Liu Yuqin. Many people thought so. If Father Liu didn't love Liu Yuqin, how could Liu Yuqin be so arrogant?
Liu Yanbo used to think that his father didn't love them that much, that he placed too much emphasis on legitimate children. They thought they were also his children, so why were they any different?
Now, Liu Yanbo understood that there was a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, but they themselves could not see it clearly.
"What's wrong with me changing my name?" Liu Yuqin didn't think she was wrong. "Why can they all be called Yu, but I can't?"
"..." When Liu Yanbo heard this, he knew that he and Liu Yuqin couldn't get along. This kind of person didn't care about others at all. Liu Yuqin only cared about her own comfort.
Liu Yuqin did these things over and over again, and she used to be tolerated by others. How could this be possible? No one is stupid.
"It's just that everyone doesn't want to tolerate you anymore," Liu Yanbo said. "Don't even think that the Marquis will be on your side anymore. Everything the Marquis' Mansion has now is no longer the result of the Marquis's hard work."
"If it weren't for the Marquis' Mansion, how could she, Liu Yulian, have her current status?" Liu Yuqin was unwilling.
"Stop talking." Su Qiuya pulled Liu Yanbo aside. There was no point in continuing. Liu Yuqin wouldn't listen to her words, and neither would Concubine Qing. If Su Qiuya wanted to say it, they should just leave it alone.
Anyway, the relationship between Jingning Marquis Mansion and Liu Yuqin has been severed, and Liu Yuqin will slowly realize the difference.
Previously, so many people came to Liu Yuqin to propose marriage because she was the daughter of a marquis.
Su Qiuya thought it would be better to wait until Liu Yuqin suffered a little, but people like Liu Yuqin might not admit that they had problems, and Liu Yuqin would most likely say that someone else had problems.
"Let him talk. I want to hear what you two have to say." Liu Yuqin said, "This is how you treat your relatives. You are even more cruel than Liu Yulian."
"Yes, we are cruel." Su Qiuya said, "It's New Year's Day, and I still have to listen to you talk about these terrible things."
Su Qiuya didn't want to listen to Liu Yuqin talking about these things at all. Liu Yuqin didn't care about others at all.
"You guys are making me feel bad during the New Year." Liu Yuqin said, "You never think about me. You're just afraid of offending Liu Yulian."
"We were afraid of offending her, so why would we do anything?" Su Qiuya said, "We didn't go before the princess, nor did we say anything else."
Su Qiuya is not afraid of Liu Yuqin. Liu Yuqin thinks that Liu Yulian is the only one who can't stand her. Su Qiuya says that she can't stand people like Liu Yuqin either.
"You...get out." Liu Yuqin didn't point at the door.
"Just go. Do you really think we like staying here?" Su Qiuya said.
Liu Yanbo and Su Qiuya left together and did not stay here any longer.
"Alas." Aunt Qing sighed. She didn't know how her family had become like this. She thought she was doing the right thing, that she was doing it for the good of these people, but in the end, things turned out like this.
This made Aunt Qing at a loss as to what to do. With her daughter in this state, it would be difficult for her to marry someone better.
"Why are you arguing with them?" Aunt Qing said, "You know what kind of personality they have."
"Do you think I'm useless?" Liu Yuqin asked, "I'm no longer the daughter of a marquis. I'm no different from those people. So what else can I do? Can't I even cry?"
Liu Yuqin never thought that she would become like this one day. It would be better for these people to continue staying in the northwest.
"If you hadn't come back from the northwest, I wouldn't be like this." Liu Yuqin couldn't help but wonder if the Mei family would still be okay if these people hadn't come back from the northwest.
The Mei family is doing well, and I am pregnant and gave birth to a son, so my position in the Mei family must be stable.
"If you hadn't come back, I would still be the second wife of the Mei family, and nothing would have happened to the Mei family. Liu Yulian is a jinx. If she lives well, I won't live well." Liu Yuqin said.
When Aunt Qing heard this, she didn't know what to say. Of course she wanted to return to Beijing and didn't want to stay in the northwest forever. A place like the northwest was simply not a place for people to stay. It wasn't as prosperous as the capital, and the people there were more fierce.
"Don't say anymore." Aunt Qing said.
"It's already like this, and you still won't let me speak?" Liu Yuqin asked. "Do you also think I'm bad, and they're good?"
"The child is awake and still making a fuss. Let's go and check on him." Aunt Qing had no choice but to talk about the child's problem.
"No." Liu Yuqin said, "What's the use of this child? I'm still the same."
"It's okay." Aunt Qing knew that Liu Yuqin was sad. "Go and rest first. Don't worry too much."
How could Liu Yuqin not think about it? She has become like this now, what should she do? Liu Yuqin didn't know who to go to, so she could only say these words in front of Aunt Qing.
"Go, go and rest, don't stay here any longer." Aunt Qing said, "Don't talk about this anymore, get some good sleep."
Aunt Qing was going to see the child. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would cry too.
At the Marquis of Jingning's mansion, everyone knew that Liu Yulian was in a bad mood. The servants had never seen Liu Yulian so angry before, so Liu Yulian stayed in the yard. She didn't want to see those people.
When Liu's mother came over, Liu Yulian was still embroidering. Liu Yulian just wanted to vent her inner dissatisfaction and didn't want to keep thinking about those things, so she did other things to calm her mind.
"Are you angry with your father?" asked Liu's mother.
"Not really. He already has more than one child," Liu Yulian said. "It's okay for him to be considerate of others."
But Liu Yulian didn't want to be a tool for Liu's father to care for other children. She didn't want to be dragged out if those people got into any trouble.
Liu Yulian thought that if she did something wrong, she should take responsibility for the actions of these people?
"He has his own considerations," Liu Yulian said, "Don't expect me to cooperate with him."
"No, no," said Liu's mother. "Your father is just like that. He's used to it. But you have to teach him a lesson, or else he'll think he's doing nothing wrong."
Even though Father Liu hadn't been involved in anything for a while, he was indeed quite slow in dealing with Liu Yuqin. Whenever Father Liu wasted time, Liu Yuqin would push for more.
"Yeah." Liu Yulian nodded slightly.
"We all believe you." After hearing what Liu Yulian said, Liu's mother realized that her youngest daughter had never asked them to break off their relationship with anyone, nor with other families. The main issue was Liu Yuqin.
"Yeah." Liu Yulian didn't really want to talk.
"Don't worry about them." Liu's mother reached out and touched Liu Yulian's head. "Your father is just like that now. He can't support this mansion anymore. You know what? Many people are oppressed by their parents when they are young. When their parents get old, they have to please their children in return. If they don't do that, their lives may be difficult."
"Mother," Liu Yulian said, "You don't have to say all that. I understand. I'm just angry for one day. No, I won't be angry anymore. Being angry is bad for your health."
"If those people come again, I will definitely not let them in." Liu's mother said, "No matter how noisy they are, it will be useless. If they make a fuss, just have them dragged away."
Liu's mother thought that it would be very easy for them to deal with Liu Yuqin. Especially when Liu Yuqin was so suicidal, no one would say anything if they dealt with Liu Yuqin.
Liu Yuqin had already exhausted that friendship, and her mother thought that perhaps her eldest daughter might still have contact with Liu Yuqin. Her eldest daughter was always so kind to Liu Yuqin that her mother didn't want to say anything more.
When Madam Qin learned that Liu Yuqin and the Marquis of Jingning had severed their relationship, she was shocked. But before she could do anything, she was called over by Madam Qin.
"Do you still recognize your older sister?" Mrs. Qin asked directly.
"This...she just..."
"She's just what?" Madam Qin raised an eyebrow. "Don't you know about the things she caused in the research institute compound?"
Mrs. Qin has always been quite satisfied with her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qin, but Mrs. Qin was too good to Liu Yuqin. Mrs. Qin disregarded Liu Yulian's face for Liu Yuqin and even said some unpleasant things.
As sisters from the same mother, Liu Yulian is more tolerant of Mrs. Qin, the eldest young master.
"I know. I..."
"You know, then you should make a choice," Mrs. Qin said, "Don't wait until I don't let you go out. That would be ugly."
Madam Qin said this specifically because she hoped that Madam Qin Da Shao could understand this point. Don't wait until Madam Qin Da Shao stepped on other people's bottom line before Madam Qin Da Shao realized it.
"From now on, don't let her into the mansion again." Madam Qin said, "If you really want to meet, you can meet outside. If you do something stupid, then don't go out."
Madam Qin said this because she couldn't stop Madam Qin. If Madam Qin wanted to meet Liu Yuqin, then Madam Qin could go.
"Just don't see her often." Mrs. Qin knew that Madam Qin was unhappy, so she didn't dare to say more.
After Madam Qin returned from Madam Qin's place, she was in a bad mood. When she saw her husband, she couldn't help but say, "Yuqin is just a woman, why is she like this?"
"You sympathize with her, but who sympathizes with Princess Rongning?" Young Master Qin asked, "Why, you think she's a princess, so whether her reputation is good or bad doesn't matter, right?"
After Young Master Qin said these words, he left the yard and went to see other things instead of saying these words to Young Master Qin's wife.
Madam Qin Dashao watched Young Master Qin leave. She thought that she couldn't go on like this. If she continued like this, the relationship between her and Young Master Qin would become distant.
Those people don't want to care about these things. They just... Actually, they are thinking about the Qin family, which is normal.
How could Madam Qin ask these people to be nice to Liu Yuqin? She just felt a little sad. Once upon a time, she was the most powerful daughter in the family. She behaved well and was dignified and virtuous.
In the past, when those people outside praised the girls of the Qin family, they would speak well of the wife of the eldest young master Qin.
And now, those people are praising Liu Yulian. Liu Yulian is famous, while Madam Qin is not so famous.
"Am I wrong?" Madam Qin Dashao muttered softly.
On New Year's Day, Liu's father came to see Liu Yulian. He was a father, but he was wrong and he had to admit his mistake. He was old and he really shouldn't interfere in these matters.
Father Liu thought he had been cruel enough to Liu Yuqin, but in fact, he was still very soft-hearted towards her. If he was not soft-hearted, how could Liu Yuqin dare to do those things?
"This is roast duck and crispy candy." This is what Liu's father bought early in the morning.
Although today is Chinese New Year, there are still many people selling things outside.
"You loved eating candy when you were a kid, but now that your teeth are broken, you don't like it anymore," Father Liu said. "You eat it occasionally, just a little at a time, and you don't even like looking at candy."
"It's not that I don't like looking at candy, it's that I'm afraid of wanting to eat it." Liu Yulian said, "That was when I was a kid. Now when I see candy, I don't want to eat it anymore."
Liu Yulian looked at the bag of crispy candies and took a piece of it and put it in her mouth.
"What's happened is over." Liu Yulian didn't want to talk about Liu Yuqin anymore. "I'll go to the kitchen and make some cakes. We'll be able to eat them in the evening."
After a while, when He Xiyuan came over, Liu Yulian thought she could also share some cakes with him.
Seeing this, Father Liu didn't chase after him. That was all that mattered. He really couldn't care less about those things in the future. He just fished and grew flowers.
When He Xiyuan arrived, Liu Yulian had just finished making the pastries.
"You should go home early." Liu Yulian said, "Today is New Year's Day, everyone has to stay at home."
"It doesn't matter." He Xiyuan said, "You can stay a little longer."
He Xiyuan didn't come here to get the cakes, he just came to see Liu Yulian, "Sister or not, it doesn't matter, you still have me."
"Don't you think I'm cruel?" Liu Yulian said.
"That's not cruel enough." He Xiyuan said, "You should have done this a long time ago. If you were really cruel, how could she be so kind? Women tend to be soft-hearted. You waited so long and only now are you talking about these things."
"I just don't want to bother with it." Liu Yulian pushed the plate of pastries in front of He Xiyuan, "You can eat some first."
"If you don't want to live here, just move out. When you come of age, we'll get married and we can live outside." He Xiyuan looked at Liu Yulian with burning eyes.
"It's still early." Liu Yanjing came to see his sister and saw He Xiyuan there. He Xiyuan also said this. Did He Xiyuan want to take advantage of Liu Yulian's bad mood and abduct Liu Yulian away?
"Brother." Liu Yulian saw Liu Yanjing and asked, "Would you like some cakes?"
"Eat." Liu Yanjing said, "Can you give me the whole plate?"
"..." He Xiyuan felt that Liu Yanjing did it on purpose. Sister Lian asked him to eat the pastries, and then Liu Yanjing came over. Liu Yanjing even directly picked up the plate of pastries. How could anyone do that?
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Liu Yanjing looked at He Xiyuan.
"We'll be leaving soon." Helplessly, he turned to look at Liu Yulian, "Are we going to the temple tomorrow?"
"You should go." Liu Yulian said.
"Let's go together tomorrow." He Xiyuan said.
"wait……"
"If you don't leave now, dinner will be served soon." Liu Yanjing didn't let Liu Yulian finish her words.
He Xiyuan looked at Liu Yulian and said they would see each other again tomorrow.
Only after He Xiyuan left did Liu Yanjing put the plate of pastries on the table.
"Did your father come to see you?" Liu Yanjing asked, "Don't worry about your father being unhappy. He has many children. If he doesn't care about your feelings, then you don't need to worry about his either."
"Brother, why do you say that?" Liu Yulian smiled.
"If not, how can I put it? Should I ask you to be more considerate of father?" Liu Yanjing couldn't possibly say that. "Father is not stupid. He used to be an official in the court. If you show your displeasure, he will sense it and change his approach."
Their father is very smart. Liu Yanjing doesn't think that their father would joke about the rest of his life.
The family is doing well now, and the Jingning Marquis Mansion has not collapsed. The Jingning Marquis Mansion will still be prosperous for a while.
Liu Yanjing knew that his father would never allow the Jingning Marquisate to decline again, and he believed that Liu Yulian knew it too.
At Duke Chengguo's Mansion, when Old Lady He saw the cakes brought by He Xiyuan, she knew that He Xiyuan had gone to Marquis Jingning's Mansion.
"How is it?" Old Madam He asked, "As for Rongning's second sister... She's no longer Rongning's second sister. It's time to get rid of her quickly. Keeping her around is just a nuisance."
"Yes." He Xiyuan also thought so.
The relationship was broken off, and those people were still in the capital. However, they would soon taste the bitter fruit, and He Xiyuan didn't want them to always run to Liu Yulian.
"We are one family...different mothers, still different." He Xiyuan thought that his father also had concubines and illegitimate children.
After He Xichen's legs were crippled, those illegitimate sons did have some ideas, but with He Xiyuan around, they couldn't succeed.
"That's right." Madam He nodded. "You two should live a good life in the future. We can't force you to take a concubine. Rongning is capable, why would she follow a man who already has a concubine?"
Old Madam He thought that she could not stop her husband from taking a concubine, and she had to watch her son take a concubine. That was because she was not strong enough, and the wife of Duke Chengguo was not that powerful either.
"When she and I get married, we'll move out." He Xiyuan said, "It's more convenient to live out there, and there won't be so many things to worry about."
He Xiyuan doesn't think the people at home are bad, but it's inevitable that there will be some problems. "At most, I will just stay at home for a period of time and come back to stay occasionally."
"Okay." How could Mrs. He not agree?
Mrs. He knew that Mrs. Mo was a good person, but friction was inevitable between sisters-in-law. Mrs. He thought it would be better for He Xiyuan and Liu Yulian to live outside to avoid problems.
"You should talk to her more and comfort her." Old Madam He said, "She is still a young girl."
No matter how strong Liu Yulian appeared, she was still a weak woman. Madam He thought that she had acted strong in front of her husband, but in fact, she was not that strong at all.
"You young people should understand each other." Old Madam He only hopes that He Xiyuan and Liu Yulian can be together for a long time.
He Xiyuan didn't say anything else, he just thought about waiting until tomorrow.
