, wonderful and free of pop-ups! As soon as Lan Yuchan returned, she relayed what Yun Tai said to her father-in-law Yun Dingcheng.
The Protector was silent for a long time. He asked Lan Yuchan: "What do you think?"
"I..." Lan Yuchan lowered her head, not knowing how to answer.
From the perspective of the interests of the Yun family, Yun Tai cannot be allowed to wander outside. In terms of family ties, she also knew that her father-in-law had been looking forward to a soft and fragrant girl for many years, but it happened that both she and her sister-in-law gave birth to a brat. She also heard that her father-in-law was so happy to talk about it to everyone because of Yuntai's "heritage from one generation to the next", and even drank a jar of the treasured wine that night. This shows his love for Yun Tai, his granddaughter.
But on the other hand, Lan Yuchan also knew that her father did not actually want Yuntai to recognize her ancestor and return to the clan. In other words, any ambitious emperor does not want the shadow of any noble family behind any of the pillars of his country.
In terms of selfishness, Lan Yuchan also doesn't want Yun Tai to come back. It has nothing to do with Sang Shuina. As Yun Tai said, she endured the humiliation and accepted the reward. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the viscount title was originally reserved for the second son Yun Hao. And she also knew that after Yun Tai had made so many contributions, her father would remember every one of her achievements and wait until Yun Tai came of age to reward her. For Yun Tai, the title of viscount is the icing on the cake, but for Yun Hao, it is the difference between civilians and nobles. Her son can inherit the title and become a noble without risking his life on the battlefield. And once Yun Tai returns to the Yun family, the benefits she gives will belong to the entire family. Their family may get relatively more benefits due to their close relationship, but it is fundamentally different from now. Now, Yun Tai is not a member of the Yun family. As Yun Tai said, the Yun family has no right to order her to do anything. Even if they are greedy for her skills, all the Presbyterian Council can do is find her husband Yun Yi. Through him, we can move people with emotion and understand people with reason. In this way, their interests and voice in the family will increase by three points. These twists and turns, how could she, a princess who grew up in the palace, not be able to see clearly. So Lan Yuchan organized her thoughts and raised her head: "No matter what decision this child makes, she is your biological granddaughter. This cannot be changed no matter what."
"It's not a good thing to be too opinionated at a young age." A short old man under Yundingcheng said dissatisfiedly, "Brother, it's better to take her home earlier and have someone teach her etiquette. ."
There are two younger brothers under Yun Dingcheng, and it was the elder Yun Dingzhong who spoke. In previous years, Yundingcheng's birthday banquets were all held in his own fiefdom. This time, Emperor Yulan ordered a birthday party for him, so he decided to hold the birthday banquet at the Duke Protector's house in the imperial city. hospital. As the date of the birthday banquet approaches, members of the Yun family also arrive one after another. Yun Taizhong had caused so many troubles, and Yun Dingzhong had naturally heard about it, but he didn't know as much as his elder brother. He was listening to Yundingcheng bragging when he didn't expect to hear such treasonous words from the eldest princess. This is absolutely unacceptable to a person who has been educated by his family since childhood. Accepting family education and fulfilling family obligations is a matter of course for him.
Yun Dingzhong saw that his eldest brother didn't seem to take it seriously, and then tried to persuade him: "If we just let it go, and other clan members follow suit and only consider their own small interests and don't care about the entire Yun family, then our Yun family will be only a few steps away from decline. Not far away." As he said that, he glanced at Lan Yuchan seemingly unintentionally.
Lan Yuchan's face turned slightly red, and then she regained her composure and retorted: "My uncle's words are wrong. Not to mention that Yun Tai has shown the perseverance (stubbornness) and courage (boldness) of the Yun family in many things. ), you want to forcibly bring her back to the family. Let’s not say what the success rate is. Even if she is successfully brought back to the Yun family, do you really think that she will obey your words and protect the Yun family? She must fulfill the Yun family's obligations according to the clan rules? The Yun family has never given her anything."
"What do you mean the Yun family never gave her anything? The Yun family gave her life. As long as the blood of the Yun family flows in her veins, she has no right to say 'no'." Yun Dingzhong's face was filled with emotion. He slapped the coffee table next to him angrily. The tea bowl on the coffee table was shattered into two halves.
Of course, Lan Yuchan would not be frightened by this small battle: "This child said that she would rather be swallowed up by other families. That is her own choice. She just has no regrets. With Yun The family has nothing to do with it. If it were someone else, maybe we would wonder if that child was telling lies, and we are not sure whether that child has the courage, but this child Yuntai is different. Don't forget, her mother is Sang Shuina . You have also seen her madness before. Do you really dare to bet on the authenticity of her words? "
"This..." Yun Dingzhong really didn't dare to gamble. If it really breaks down, he will become the sinner of the family, and he cannot bear this responsibility. But such a monster, who is clearly a child of the Yun family, publicly said such a slap in the face that he did not want to return to the Yun family. How could they, who were proud to be members of the Yun family, accept this! How can they go out and raise their heads to meet people?
"And the niece-in-law said something bold. In the niece-in-law's view, it is those past experiences that have made Yun Tai the different person she is today. You asked Yuntai to learn those etiquettes because you want her to become like those around you. Are the children the same? If this is the case in terms of talent, which child in the clan has worse talent than Yun Tai? Why do you have to keep an eye on her? With the Yun family's family background, are you still worried about marrying Yun Tai because she doesn't understand etiquette? stay home?"
"Who would want such a woman who doesn't understand the rules and doesn't even look down on her ancestors? It's because of your connivance that she becomes so lawless and humiliates the Yun family all the time!" Yun Dingzhong also started to treat Lan Yuchan. Become dissatisfied. In his opinion, since Yun Tai was confirmed to be Yun Yi's child, she should be taken back to the Yun family for education instead of being left outside to fend for herself. And looking at what kind of life this child lived before, and thinking about the treatment he will receive after becoming the eldest granddaughter of the Protector of the Country, Yun Dingzhong believes that any thirteen-year-old child who is not stupid will not Reject such request. Listen to those words again. Is that what a thirteen-year-old girl living in a remote town can say? Obviously there was someone behind the scenes. As for who the person who gave the guidance is, is there any need to ask? And with the royal family's support, the family's conventional punishment methods of freezing accounts and connections can no longer be implemented.
Lan Yuchan lowered her head, feeling aggrieved. Although she had some small thoughts of her own, she and her father didn't do anything about this matter. This was entirely Yun Tai's own intention. She didn't want to return to the Yun family. "Dingzhong." Yun Dingcheng stopped. Yun Dingzhong's words have passed. Moreover, after dealing with Yun Tai, Yun Dingcheng believed that it was entirely possible that these words were Yun Tai's original intention and not the instigation from the royal family as his younger brother suspected.
Yunding stood up loyally: "Since the Emperor Jinkou Yuyan said in public that Yun Tai is Yun Yi's child and your eldest granddaughter, then she is a member of the Yun family. There is no doubt about this, let alone that she is not yet a minor. The little children are chirping there. Otherwise, where will our Yun family’s face be? Where will the Emperor’s face be placed?”
"This..." As soon as Yunding Zhong's hat was pulled off, the Protector also had a headache.
Because there was no confidentiality, and it was impossible to keep such a thing secret, the news that Yun Tai refused to return to the Yun family spread immediately. The first reaction of everyone who heard the news was that this little girl was too arrogant and ignorant. There will be times in the future when she will suffer. Youdao is leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade. Sure enough, she is a little girl from the countryside. She doesn’t even have this knowledge. She starts to raise her tail even if she gets a little result. If she is a child raised by her family, she will not do such an unwise thing. s Choice. In their view, Yun Tai might be like too many geniuses who only shine for a short time before being submerged in the cruel reality.
At the same time, Yun Tai's words also fell into the ears of Yulan Emperor Lan Hao word for word. From a friend's point of view, he definitely hopes that Yundingcheng will recognize this granddaughter. This old brother has been waiting for this girl for so many years! But from an emperor's perspective, Yun Tai's words clearly played into Lan Hao's hands.
"Only when you have a free heart can you see the vastness of the world more clearly? Is she really saying that? She is talking about a free heart, not freedom?" Lan Hao asked confirmingly. If Yun Tai wants to be free, there will really be some trouble. For a talent like her, Lan Hao would definitely not be able to let her go until her talents are fully explored. It was even more impossible to let him go to other countries. He couldn't worry about safety alone. But what kid doesn't like to play? It's completely understandable that he hates being followed. When he was a child, he often played hide-and-seek with his escorts.
"Yes." The guard did not dare to be vague on this issue.
"Free heart, what is that?" Lan Hao's fingers tapped the table rhythmically. In his opinion, Yun Tai suddenly made the meaning of "freedom" illusive. How can we achieve a free heart and an unfettered heart? Who can do it? When a person's heart is truly free and unfettered, how is the world he sees different from other people? Lan Hao felt as if he had caught something, but he didn't know how to describe this feeling exactly.
At the same time, Yun Yi in the Prince Consort's Mansion was also thinking about the same problem.
