Yu Zhongcheng scoffed coldly and berated loudly, “Why didn’t you discuss it with me instead of making your own decision? Do you look down on me now that I’ve been stripped of my official position?”
At this time, Madam Chen rushed over. She glared at Yu Zhongcheng with dissatisfaction and said, “Master, Wanrong has already suffered. Don’t be angry with her anymore.”
“I understand. You and your daughter both look down on me now!” Yu Zhongcheng said gloomily, “Forget it! Since you’re the master of the family now, I’ll leave!”
Yu Zhongcheng flicked his sleeve and left after saying that.
The maidservant next to Madam Chen said with a frown, “Madam, it seems like Master is going to the brothel again…”
Madam Chen gnashed her teeth so hard that she almost broke them.
Ever since Yu Zhongcheng was released, the Emperor did not say anything about reinstating him. His colleagues also secretly laughed at him. For this reason, he was very angry and vented his anger on the family. Not only that, but he was also very shameless and frequently visited brothels and gambling dens.
‘What a disgrace to the Yu Residence!’
“Mother,” Yu Wanrong called out to Madam Chen, feeling aggrieved.
“It’s fine. The current residence is no longer the Prime Minister’s Residence. It’ll be the General’s Residence in the future. Your third brother holds military power and will marry the Fourth Princess in the future. We won’t lose!” Madam Chen said confidently.
Yu Wanrong felt a little better after hearing these words. She had not completely lost.
“Wanrong, it’s been hard on you. Tell me, what happened? Before entering the palace, didn’t you say you have a way to ruin Yu Yunxi’s reputation? Why did I…
why did I hear that you were… driven out of the palace?” Madam Chen asked hesitantly.
The capital was neither big nor small, and news traveled very quickly. By now, it was estimated that everyone in the streets and alleys of the capital had already found out that Yu Wanrong was driven out of the imperial palace.
When Yu Wanrong heard her mother’s words, her eyes shone with spite, and she gritted her teeth as she said, “Mother, I really heard that little b*stard calling Yu Yunxi ‘Mother’! However, when I was in the palace today, the heir of the King of Xinan’s Residence rushed over and claimed that the b*stard is his child and that Yu Yunxi is the b*stard’s aunt!”
Madam Chen’s expression changed upon hearing this. She narrowed her eyes
and asked, “Wanrong, are you sure you didn’t hear wrongly? Did the b*stard really call Yu Yunxi ‘Mother’?”
“Mother, I really didn’t hear wrongly!” Yu Wanrong said, stomping her foot.
Madam Chen thought about it silently for a moment. Then, her eyes glinted coldly as she said with a sneer, “Do you think that there’s a possibility that the b*stard is the son of Yu Yunxi and the heir of the King of Xinan? I really don’t believe that the King of Xinan’s Residence would treat her so nicely otherwise.” Yu Wanrong’s eyes brightened upon hearing these swords.
‘Indeed! The heir of the King of Xinan’s Residence is so protective of Yu Yunxi.
Perhaps, they’re a couple of adulterers!’
“Mother, I’ll look for the Crown Prince now,” Yu Wanrong said. She could not wait to report this matter to Feng Weizhou.
Madam Chen quickly stopped Yu Wanrong and said seriously, “Haven’t you suffered enough? After being defeated by Yu Yunxi this time, the Crown Prince and the Empress likely won’t believe you anymore.”
Yu Wanrong also gradually sobered up. She said through gritted teeth, “This time, I have to find evidence so that b*tch Yu Yunxi won’t be able to deny it!”
“Mother will help you investigate this matter,” Madam Chen said, patting Yu Wanrong’s shoulder to calm the latter down. Then, she lowered her voice before she continued to say, “That’s right. Your paternal grandfather will return in a few days.”
“Grandfather?”
Yu Wanrong frowned. Only then did she remember that she had a paternal grandfather. After resigning a few years ago, he had left to travel. After being away for so many years, why did he suddenly decide to return?
Madam Chen saw the puzzled expression on Yu Wanrong’s face and explained,
“I wrote to him and asked him to come back.”
“Mother, Grandmother is already annoying as it is. Why did you ask Grandfather to return?” Yu Wanrong asked as her mood worsened.
Recently, the Yu family had to deal with many things. Not only was Old Madam Zhou unable to help, but she even kicked up a fuss every day.
“Although the Old Master is stubborn, he loves your father the most.
Moreover… he was the Great Ancestor’s study companion when he was young. As such, he has the right to speak in front of the Emperor. The Yu family can’t just rely on your third brother now,” Madam Chen said patiently, patting Yu Wanrong’s hand to comfort the latter, “Most importantly, he hates Yu Yunxi the most…”
Yu Wanrong’s eyes flashed with excitement.
“Mother, you mean…”
Madam Chen sneered and slowly said, “When the Old Master returns, we’ll think of a way to lure Yu Yunxi back to the Yu Residence. At that time, even if she doesn’t die, she’ll lose a layer of skin!”
Yu Wanrong grew even more excited when she heard these words. She could not wait to see Yu Yunxi in trouble. She asked anxiously, “Mother, when will Grandfather arrive?”
“Don’t worry. He’ll arrive in a few days,” Madam Chen said reassuringly before she added persuasively, “Also, Wanrong you have to build a good relationship with your uncle and the others during this period of time. Your third brother has a hard time in court, and he still needs your uncle’s support.”
Yu Wanrong said unhappily, “Mother, they already robbed me of my position as the Crown Princess! I don’t want to please them!”
Madam Chen continued to persuade patiently, “Wanrong, that’s not a foregone conclusion. Who knows who will be the Crown Princess in the end?”
“Mother, you mean…”
“How can others compare to my daughter? My daughter is naturally the most suitable to become the mother of the country in the future! Don’t worry. The Chen family is only our stepping stone,” Madam Chen said with a sneer as her eyes shone brightly.
Yu Wanrong was relieved when she heard her mother’s words. Finally, she said, “Okay. I understand, Mother. I’ll visit the Chen family tomorrow.”
Late at night.
Luo Xiuran held a wine jar in the courtyard of the Revival Hall, looking drunk. It had been an entire day, but Qian Qing was still unwilling to speak to him. He wanted to ask the people from Xinan how Qian Qing had been doing all these years, but no one was willing to tell him the truth. He felt really aggrieved. When he heard that Qian Qing was going to stay in the Revival Hall, he shamelessly stayed behind as well. It did not matter if he did not have a place to sleep!
Luo Xiuran took another swig from the wine jar in a daze. All of a sudden, he saw the door opening before the little bun shuffled out like a zombie.
‘This little fellow is sleepwalking again!’ Luo Xiuran thought to himself as he smiled helplessly.
He stood up and stumbled over to the little bun as he called out, “Junjin, come here. Let Brother Xiuran carry you.”
Although the little bun was Shen Hezhi’s son and had no relationship with the Prince Regent’s Residence or Marquis Luo Jin’s Residence, Luo Xiuran still liked the little bun a lot.
When Luo Xiuran stood in front of the little bun, the little bun’s human-skin mask suddenly fell, revealing a face similar to that of Feng Yili..
