Yu Yuxi helped Jin Yu go in. The servant had already come out when he heard the commotion. When he saw Yu Yuxi coming in, he hurriedly saluted: "I have seen the concubine."
"No!" Yu Yuxi said calmly and stepped into the small Buddhist hall.
Yu Ruiwen turned slightly and saw his second daughter coming in, his face darkened: "What are you doing here?"
"Father...the daughter wants to come and see her father." Yu Yuxi smiled bitterly, "It's all the daughter's fault. She made her father kneel as a punishment. The daughter is willing to kneel with her father."
Jin Yu had already taken a futon and placed it behind Yu Ruiwen. Yu Yuxi held Jin Yu's hand and knelt down: "Father, it's all the daughter's fault. The father is actually right. It's... it's my grandmother who doesn't like Xi'er...
It was Xi'er who caused trouble for my father."
Yu Yuxi's eyes turned red as she spoke, but she still showed a smile, which made people feel even more pitiful.
This sounds like self-blame, but it is actually saying that Princess An and the eldest daughter are partial and prejudiced against her. Coupled with her sensible actions and expressions, if it were the previous Yu Ruiwen, she would definitely feel distressed and blame herself even more, and become more and more angry.
I feel like I have failed as a father.
There was already a knot between An and the eldest princess and Yu Ruiwen. This knot lasted for more than ten years. Back then, Qian was able to use this knot to separate the mother and son. Yu Yuxi felt that she could do it now. Compared with
The mother's conditions are more favorable. After all, she is her father's biological daughter, and she is still the biological daughter who has always been held in the palm of his hand.
At this moment, she, the daughter who is held in the palm of her hand and whose father has treated her like jewels since she was a child, must be more considerate than the other daughter who has been left to grow up in the south of the Yangtze River...
Come here
, she wants to get a real commitment from Yu Ruiwen! This is the right opportunity...
"Don't talk about being involved or not. It's my fault today for making your grandmother angry. When you went to Prince Duan's Mansion, I also told you that you don't need to interact much in the future. If you feel unwell today, just rest in the mansion first.
, let’s go back to Prince Duan’s Mansion when things get better tomorrow.”
Yu Ruiwen said.
"Father..." Yu Yuxi was shocked. Before she could say anything, her father actually asked her to go back. How could this work?
She had put so much effort into entering the Xuanping Hou Mansion, but she couldn't go back right away no matter what. This made the prince think of her and how incompetent she was.
Yu Yuxi now wholeheartedly wants to stay in Xuanpinghou Mansion for a few more days, but she never thought that at that time she only wanted to leave Xuanpinghou Mansion and marry into Prince Duan Mansion!
"Go back. This time, father was wrong. He asked you to come back without telling your grandmother." Yu Ruiwen rubbed his eyebrows and said.
"Father, I...I really don't know what happened back then. I only found out about it recently...when I heard what my grandmother and cousin said..."
Yu Yuxi's tears immediately fell down.
"The past is over. What happened to your mother... doesn't matter anymore... You are now Prince Duan's concubine, and the things that happened before you entered Prince Duan's palace have already happened." Yu Ruiwen said in a low and authentic voice.
"Father, but..." Yu Yuxi still wanted to explain.
"Go back. You are not in good health, so you have to take a good rest. Don't think about things that are there or not. Your mother is gone. There is no point in pursuing some things anymore. Good or bad, just live well now.
Just live your own life.
"Yu Ruiwen interrupted Yu Yuxi's explanation.
"Father...I am your daughter, you...won't you let me go back home?" Yu Yuxi burst into tears and covered her chest with her hands, feeling extremely sad.
Yu Ruiwen was silent for a moment, then said: "You go back tomorrow... As for the future... we can talk about the future later, or wait until your grandmother calms down."
As for when to calm down, it depends on your mother's wishes.
Yu Ruiwen clearly knew that he was actually inferior to his mother, and being able to obey his mother was the best thing he could do.
The matter of the second daughter is unclear at the moment.
After hearing what her little daughter had told her grandmother, Yu Ruiwen was very clear-headed at this moment. Looking at Yu Yuxi who was crying sadly, he sighed and his voice softened a little: "Xier, you are now the concubine of Prince Duan's palace.
There is also a concubine in charge of the house, and my health is not very good. I should focus on recuperating my health, and everything else has nothing to do with you."
"Okay, go back. If you are not in good health, don't think too much about it... In the future... if possible... let's talk about it!" Yu Ruiwen didn't finish his words.
After all, there are still doubts about this matter. It cannot be said that he completely believes in Yu Yuxi, but it cannot be said that he does not believe in Yu Yuxi at all.
Yu Yuxi was right about one thing. In Yu Ruiwen's heart, if there was a slight possibility, he would still not want to think of his daughter so viciously.
"Father..." Yu Yuxi continued to cry.
"
Go back, your grandmother's people will be here soon," Yu Ruiwen said.
"Father..." Yu Yuxi wanted to say something else.
"You don't want your grandmother to send someone to drive you away later, do you?" Yu Ruiwen reminded her, her mother has the most stubborn temper and the most disgusting eyes.
"I won't leave, I...I want to stay with my father." Yu Yuxi was still struggling.
"Go, it will be too late if you don't leave." Yu Ruiwen said gently.
"Father……"
"The people sent by your grandmother, even me... are of no use." Yu Ruiwen spread his hands.
"Empress, if you are not feeling well, please go back first. The Marquis is also worried about you." Jin Yu came over to help Yu Yuxi stand up, and advised her while helping her.
"But...father..." Yu Yuxi whimpered.
"The Marquis is fine. The Marquis is in better health than you. If you continue to kneel with me like this, if you faint, the Marquis will blame himself again. Madam, I know that you are filial, and the madam is not here anymore... Now
The only one left is Mr. Hou." Jin Yu persuaded while wiping her tears.
The words were very touching, but the movements of his hands were not slow, and he lifted Yu Yuxi up in a few seconds.
If they really bumped into An and the eldest princess, the master and servant knew that it would be bad, which was why Jin Yu helped Yu Yuxi get up in a panic.
"Father..." Yu Yuxi had already been helped up, as if she didn't want to leave.
"Go and have a good rest." Yu Ruiwen waved his hand.
"Father, these are... the snacks I brought. You can use some before you kneel down. Your health is important." Yu Yuxi was half-supported and half-carried by Jin Yu to the door, and suddenly turned around and said.
Yu Ruiwen was very full and didn't want to use it anymore.
"I understand, go ahead." He nodded casually.
Seeing his second daughter being taken away by the maid, Yu Ruiwen lowered his head, his eyes fell on the small area in front of him, and then he smiled bitterly, looking lonely.
If there was even the slightest chance, he wouldn't want to think bad things about his daughter.
Killing his biological mother? How vicious would he be to do such a thing! If so, he would rather he had never given birth to this daughter.
He raised his eyes and looked outside the door. His second daughter came in a hurry and left in a hurry. What did she say when she came in just now? Do you want to kneel down with her?
is it possible?
Her body cried for a while and then fainted. Now she could still kneel down with her? Her eyes raised and fell on the small food basket.
"Look what's inside?" Yu Ruiwen looked at it intently for a while and said.
The boy went over to get the food basket and opened it in front of him. There was only a plate of pastries in it. It looked like it had been a long time and there was no heat at all.
He had seen this pastry before. It was the kind that was often made in the house. In the past, he didn't like to eat this kind of sweet pastry and rarely used it. However, he saw it frequently in Qian's and Yu Yuxi's places. It can be seen that they both
I like it very much.
"Master Marquis, would you like some?" The boy saw him staring at the food basket and thought he was hungry again.
"No, I'm not hungry." Yu Ruiwen shook his head weakly, "Take it aside."
The boy obediently took the food basket aside.
"When the second girl came here just now, you didn't bring a lantern?" Yu Ruiwen suddenly asked again.
"I didn't see it, maybe... maybe I didn't bring it with me." The boy thought for a while and said, when he just went out, Yu Yuxi had already come in with Jin Yu.
"
I didn't bring a lantern, so I just picked up a piece of pastry and came here to kneel down with me." Yu Ruiwen laughed sarcastically, making everyone feel very uncomfortable.
I am really so easy to talk to, and I can just find any reason to come and lobby myself. No wonder I have to be punished today. If I don’t get punished, who else will be punished.
I closed my eyes, knelt down again, looked at the Buddha statue in front of me, suddenly smiled again, and then let out a sigh of relief. At least I was not worthless. I was still the backbone of the family, whether it was mother or children.
Rely on yourself, don't let this kind of thing ruin your mood or mess up your mind.
Thinking of this, the bitterness and indescribable discomfort that I felt just now gradually subsided.
Mrs. Qian? Is it just Mrs. Qian’s business? Is what the second daughter said completely true...
"I've met Aunt Qin." A voice suddenly came from outside.
"How is the Marquis?" Aunt Qin's voice said.
"Master Hou is still kneeling."
The sound of footsteps was heard, and Aunt Qin appeared at the door with two maids, "Master Marquis, the eldest princess wants you to come over."
"Mom... won't you let me punish you by kneeling down?" Yu Ruiwen raised his head in surprise. As expected, his mother still couldn't let go of him, and she didn't sincerely want to punish him.
"The eldest princess has something to discuss with you." Aunt Qin said gently and asked the servant to come over and help Yu Ruiwen up.
"It's not time yet." Yu Ruiwen said without standing up directly, looking at Aunt Qin eagerly.
"The eldest princess knows. The eldest princess said that you should understand the meaning." Aunt Qin smiled.
"I understand, I understand." Yu Ruiwen said repeatedly.
"Then follow
Please go back, slave, the eldest princess does not want to punish you now." Aunt Qin said.
"Okay... okay, I'll get up right away." Yu Ruiwen took the initiative to stand up, holding the boy's hand. The younger daughter was right. Her mother really felt sorry for her and recognized her. This sense of recognition shocked Yu Ruiwen.
After getting up, he moved his legs a little, then hurried to Princess An and the eldest princess...
