Chapter 459 Youan’s Show-off, the Princess’s Intervention
"Father, why don't you want to accompany me?" You'an's voice was trembling, and tears fell one after another, as if she was confessing the loneliness and helplessness in her heart.
Beigong You felt a pang of heartache. He wanted to reach out to comfort his daughter, but he was afraid that she would be even more sad if he stayed. "You'an, father is very tired, and there are still many things to deal with tomorrow."
He said softly, his voice full of uneasiness and apology.
"But mother is already here, why can't you come with us?" Youan's voice became more and more firm, revealing the stubbornness unique to children.
She wiped away her tears with her little hands, looked up at Beigong You with a pleading look, as if expecting him to give a different answer.
"You'an, you know your father has a lot of things to do." Lin Miaoyin stood aside and gently persuaded him, her eyes gentle but somewhat helpless. "It's the same if your mother accompanies you."
"No, I just want you to accompany me!" Her voice was high and firm, even with a hint of innocent stubbornness.
Beigong You's heart tightened. This small figure became extremely fragile in his eyes, as if it would break if squeezed.
"Youan, crying is useless. Father is really tired..."
Beigong You's voice gradually became low, and the inner conflict made it almost impossible for him to control himself.
Seeing this, Lin Miaoyin frowned slightly and said softly, "Youan, don't you like your mother to accompany you?"
"I like it, and I like you guys to accompany me even more!" Youan's tears flowed even more violently, as if she was venting this desire.
Beigong You's heart tightened. He could no longer resist the impact of this emotion, and the fatherly love from deep in his heart surged out.
"Okay, Youan, father will stay with you."
Finally, Beigong You's heart was shaken, and the guilt receded like a tide. He gently reached out his hand and stroked Youan's hair, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
Youan's eyes lit up, her tears stopped, and were replaced by a face full of joy.
She grinned, revealing her white teeth, shining like the stars outside the window. Beigong You's mood also softened, and his heart found a moment of peace at this moment.
"Then I won't cry anymore."
Youan said softly, the smile on her face was like a blooming flower, dispelling the gloom of the night.
The next day, after Chu Youan woke up, although her father and mother had gotten up early, the scene of them accompanying her last night still appeared in her mind, which made her in a very good mood.
But my mother seems to have been hoping that my father would marry that bad woman recently.
Grandma wants that too!
No, she had to stop it.
After thinking about it, Chu Youan washed up and took her maid to the eldest princess' courtyard.
In the eldest princess' bedroom, the fragrance of incense diffused in the air, and the simple and gorgeous furnishings gave people a sense of solemnity.
You An walked up to the eldest princess, bent her knees slightly, and bowed her head as per the rules: "Grandmother."
"Get up quickly, Youan." The eldest princess's loving voice came like a warm spring breeze.
She gently stroked Youan's head with her hand, a satisfied smile on her face, "How have you been these days?"
"Grandma, Youan is fine." Youan raised his head with a little light flashing in his eyes.
"My father and mother accompanied me to sleep last night." You'an deliberately added a touch of tenderness, with a hint of expectation in his tone, implying the intimacy between his parents.
The eldest princess was slightly stunned, and a meaningful look flashed in her eyes: "Oh? Has the relationship between your father and your mother improved again?"
"Yes, grandma." Youan raised his head with a firm gaze, and then added nonchalantly, "I think they should always accompany me like this."
"Your mother, Lin Miaoyin, often goes out. Wouldn't it be nice to have one more person at home to take care of you?" The eldest princess knew what You'an meant, but she didn't get angry. There was still a hint of tenderness in her tone, but her words revealed unquestionable authority.
Youan's heart tightened, the smile on his face froze, and he secretly thought about how to respond.
She quickly adjusted her mood and said firmly, "I don't like Yu Lingxiu! Last time she deliberately beat that person to death in front of me and gave me a nightmare. I always remember that. I will never like someone like her!"
After hearing this, the eldest princess frowned slightly, feeling surprised at Youan's reaction.
She has always loved this granddaughter, but she didn't expect Youan to be so persistent about this matter.
She sighed softly, her tone still gentle: "Don't worry, when she becomes your father's concubine, she will not do that anymore. She will definitely be your most loyal dog."
"I don't need her loyalty!" Youan's voice couldn't help but get louder, and the fire in his heart seemed to begin to spread.
She raised her head and looked at the eldest princess with a firm gaze, but she secretly reflected in her heart whether she was too radical.
The eldest princess was stunned, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up by her wisdom.
She said softly, "You'an, you are still young, and you may not understand many things. But in this mansion, loyalty and betrayal are often separated by a fine line. You must learn how to survive in this complex relationship."
You'an was deeply moved by the princess' words. She lowered her head slightly, but a feeling of unwillingness surged in her heart.
She didn't want Yu Lingxiu to become a part of her life, she had bigger expectations in her heart.
"Grandma, I don't want to mention Yu Lingxiu anymore." Youan's voice softened, but he secretly swore to himself in his heart that he would protect the relationship between his parents and not let anyone destroy it.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." The eldest princess smiled slightly, seeming helpless about Youan's stubbornness, but also vaguely aware of her growth.
Chu Youan stayed in the eldest princess' courtyard for a while, and only returned to his own courtyard around noon.
After everyone left, the princess immediately ordered Cui Xi to pass a message to Yu Lingxiu.
“If You’an doesn’t like you, you won’t be able to enter the mansion even if Beigong You nods.”
After hearing these words, Yu Lingxiu tried to understand and rushed directly into the princess's courtyard, feeling discontent and anger. "This is unfair!" She said coldly, "You'an already has a grudge in her heart. It will be extremely difficult to change her opinion!"
There was a hint of despair in her voice. She had finally won the favor of the prince and finally recovered from her paralysis. Didn't the princess like her to share her favor with Lin Miaoyin? Why did she bring up You'an again this time?
The princess knew it clearly, as she had already offended the child severely before.
The eldest princess still looked calm, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in her tone: "But you can no longer have children. If you don't treat You'an well, who else can you treat well?"
These words shocked Yu Lingxiu. She looked at the princess in astonishment, feeling panic in her heart. She couldn't believe that the princess knew her secret.
"You, how did you know?" Yu Lingxiu's voice trembled slightly. She had never thought that this would be known to others.
The princess just waved her hand gently, signaling her to calm down. "It doesn't matter. What matters is what you can do for Youan."
Yu Lingxiu was filled with anger and helplessness. The princess' words were like an invisible knife that cut through her heart, causing her immense pain. She knew that she had become a loser in this game of power. Whether it was the secret of her infertility or You'an's hatred, it made her feel like she was falling into an abyss, unable to extricate herself.
