Chapter 512: Past Causes, Today’s Result
They had a meal at the Palace of Southern Yunnan and rested there at night.
The next morning, they set off.
Mrs. Huo and the old princess cried bitterly, and Ye Hanyi's eyes also turned red.
Ye Xianfeng kept a stern face and said nothing, while the King of Southern Yunnan walked to the side of Ge Xubai, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder heavily, with force and pressure in his hand.
"Treat Han Yi well."
Ge Xubai endured the pressure from the King of Southern Yunnan without changing his expression. "Grandfather, don't worry. I will definitely treat her well."
No matter how reluctant you are, you have to part eventually.
Ye Hanyi got on the horse and started his journey, looking back every few steps.
The Palace of the Southern Yunnan King prepared a lot of dowry and dozens of carriages, one of which was carrying the siblings Lu Yanxiu and Lu Xingchen.
They only stayed in Diannan Prefecture for three short days, but they spent these three days extremely fulfilling and happy.
Ye Hanyi took them to the army, where they saw the soldiers training. The majestic aura shocked them greatly.
Especially Lu Yanxiu, he became increasingly aware of the great role of possessing powerful military force.
If he was strong enough, he wouldn't put his sister in danger.
At this moment, he made up his mind that he would not only study hard, but also practice martial arts, so that he could at least have enough ability to protect himself.
Afterwards, Ye Hanyi took them to the racecourse.
She took Lu Xingchen horse racing, and Ge Xubai began to teach him how to ride at Lu Yanxiu's request.
Ge Xubai originally thought that three days was too short and he would not be able to learn it, but unexpectedly, Lu Yanxiu had a very high level of comprehension and learned it very quickly.
Although he doesn't ride fast, he is already very talented among beginners.
But the price he paid was that the skin on the inside of his thighs was rubbed off, and the pain made his walking posture weird.
The group set off in a mighty procession, with many people lining the roads to see them off.
Among them was an old woman with a hunched back, her eyes filled with envy and longing.
This person is Chu Yian’s mother, Jiang.
In just a few years, she had gone from a graceful and pampered woman to an old woman with rough hands and a hunched back.
When she heard people talk about the Crown Princess's achievements, jealousy and regret tormented her every day.
It was obvious that Lu Zhiran was the daughter-in-law of their Chu family.
If it weren't for Zhao Shuning, Lu Zhiran would not have divorced her son, and all the wealth of her business would have belonged to their Chu family.
They are guarding a cash cow without knowing it!
She also met the two children of the Lu family and learned that they were abducted and rescued by General Ge by chance.
Everyone was talking about how lucky and blessed the two children were, as they were the Crown Princess's younger siblings, and that they would surely have good fortune in the future after surviving such a disaster.
Jiang couldn't help but step forward and interrupt, "They are not the Crown Princess's biological brothers and sisters at all. The Crown Princess doesn't have brothers and sisters of this age. Maybe they are fakes!"
Others looked at Jiang with confusion in their eyes.
"Who dares to pretend to be the Crown Princess's brother or sister? What nonsense are you talking about, you crazy woman?"
Jiang explained anxiously, "I'm not a crazy woman. I'm not talking nonsense. I know, I know everything!"
She tried hard to explain, but no one believed her and thought she was talking nonsense.
Jiang returned to her residence in a daze.
It was a house with three entrances and three exits, with a total of three families living in it. They only had two small rooms and the kitchen was shared.
In the past, Jiang could never have imagined that she would end up living on the land with others.
But she has been living like this for several years.
Even a house like this was rented by Chu Yian by doing a favor.
When Jiang returned home, she found the kitchen and the stove were cold. When she opened the door, a strong smell of alcohol hit her in the face.
Chu Dingfeng fell drunk on the bed like a puddle of mud. When Jiang saw this, she was immediately furious. She roared at Chu Dingfeng, but Chu Dingfeng roared even louder in return. Later, it turned into a physical confrontation.
When the two families next door saw this, they were already used to it. Everyone went about their own business and no one paid any attention.
When Chu Yian returned from the training ground exhausted, he saw his mother Jiang crying in the house. The house was in a mess and his father had long since disappeared.
Chu Yian guessed what had happened without much thought.
A layer of numbness fell over his tired face.
When Jiang saw him come back, she immediately started crying, and every word she said was an insult to Chu Dingfeng, and finally turned into a blame for Chu Yian.
"It's all your fault. If you hadn't been so obsessed with sex and brought Zhao Shuning home, how could Lu Zhiran have divorced you? And how could our Chu family have fallen to such a state? It's all your fault, you unfilial son! You've brought our Chu family such a disaster!"
"You should go and make achievements. Didn't you make contributions in Xiping? Go and earn more! Look at what a horrible place we live in and what a horrible life we lead. Return my wealth and glory to me!"
Chu Yian let her beat and scold him without moving.
After she had beaten and scolded him enough, she turned around and left the house.
He went to the kitchen and started a fire to cook.
The young master, who once knew nothing of the sufferings of the world, has now mastered all kinds of skills and can do everything skillfully by himself.
A copper coin can overwhelm a hero.
If you don't do these jobs yourself, you will just starve to death.
He completed the movements in his hands numbly, but Jiang's words kept replaying in his mind.
Jiang asked him to achieve great things, but how easy was that?
Last time, he made great contributions in the battle against the Kingdom of Nanyue and was recruited into the Southern Yunnan Army. He became a sergeant and was in charge of ten people.
He worked hard to earn this insignificant official position.
He worked diligently for several years and was now promoted to team leader, with the number of people under him increasing from ten to fifty.
The world has been peaceful recently and there has been no war in southern Yunnan. It would be difficult for him to continue to climb up.
He knew this and did not dare to harbor any hope in his heart. He just wanted to live his life steadily and honestly.
But every time he returned to this home, there were always countless troubles and complaints waiting for him.
His father's decadence, his mother's insults, and the past that would be brought up from time to time were like thorns that pierced his heart, causing him to toss and turn in the dead of night, experiencing the feeling of regret over and over again.
God is fair to everyone. The causes he planted in the past have now become fruits and are affecting him.
He didn't know how many times he didn't want to live anymore and thought about just dying and being done with it.
But he was a coward, he was afraid of death, even if he lived worse than a dog, he still wanted to live.
Filial piety was like a mountain, weighing heavily on him.
For the rest of his life, he will have to carry this suffocating mountain on his back and move forward slowly.
The candle flame flickered in the stove, and the flames revealed a figure's back. Although tall and broad, he was unable to bear the weight and became hunched early on.
