"Look, Yi Nu, Mr. Fu is a young and talented young man. I don't know how much better he is than the romantic King of Huai'an~"
"The master still loves the young lady. I would like to congratulate the young lady first~"
Yu Nianchu slowly put away the jade pendant in his hand, with a mocking smile on his lips.
"Where does happiness come from? When I was in trouble, Fu Zhao was afraid to avoid me. How can I marry such a person?"
She originally wanted to say something more, but Ayun couldn't hold back her words, so Yu Nianchu changed the topic.
"This matter will be discussed later. It is better to prepare for entering the palace the day after tomorrow."
Ayun scratched his head in confusion, very puzzled.
"Miss, the banquet tomorrow is nominally to celebrate King Chengan, but in reality it is to select his concubine. Why are you going?"
"Could it be that...you also want to be Princess Chengan?"
Yu Nianchu gently hit his sore neck and said with a smile, "Who knows, just go and prepare."
Ayun didn't ask any more questions and backed away obediently.
…
In the ancestral hall, Mrs. Hou Li Xianglan laid out a thick mat for her daughter and ordered her servants to wait on her at all times.
But Yu Shuen had been raised pampered since she was a child. How could she endure such suffering? She cried and fussed after less than an hour of kneeling.
"Mom, oh oh oh oh, I don't want to kneel anymore. My knees hurt so much. Go and help me beg daddy for mercy, okay?"
Li Xianglan hurriedly wiped away her daughter's tears, her eyes filled with distress.
"Hey, I didn't want to, but...it's all my fault for that little bitch Yu Nianchu, who made your father angry!"
"Shu'er, be good, you'd better finish your kneeling properly and treat it as a favor to your father. Don't worry, I'll be with you!"
Yu Shuen angrily broke away from her hand, full of complaints.
"Auntie! Aren't you even protecting me?! Are you just letting that little bitch bully me like this!"
"You are now the Marquis of Yongding, not the concubine you used to be. Why do we still have to swallow our anger like this!"
She tried to stand up, but her knees were numb.
Li Xianglan was also a little anxious, but at this moment, if she was so impatient, then she had fallen into that little bitch's trap!
She held Yu Shuen in her arms and comforted her as gently as possible, "Shu'er, listen to grandma."
"I promise that I will seek justice for you in the future, and I will definitely make that little bitch lose her face in front of everyone!"
"By that time, not even the Marquis can protect her!"
"Aniang will also make Mr. Hou believe that Shu'er did not throw dirty water today, and what she said is all the truth!"
Yu Shuen looked at her dubiously, feeling a little worried.
"Auntie, are you sure you can do it?"
"In the future, my daughter will have to give her brother-in-law a belt, so don't make it self-defeating."
Li Xianglan was very confident, "No, you just need to be prepared to become Princess Chengan."
Two days later.
Yu Chengguang went to court early, and Yu Nianchu ate his breakfast unhurriedly, only briefly freshened up and got into the carriage.
She waited for half an hour, but didn't see Yu Shuen and Li Xianglan.
Ayun was so angry that he stamped his feet, "Really, yesterday I snatched the young lady's new clothes and jewelry, and today I made the young lady wait for so long. It was obviously intentional!"
"Miss, why didn't you tell the master? I should have made the eldest daughter kneel for a few more hours!"
Yu Nianchu lifted the sedan curtain and made a shushing gesture towards Ayun.
"Have you ever heard the word once, called, too much is not enough?"
Ayun shook her head, she really didn't know.
Yu Nianchu looked around vigilantly, and when he was sure there was no one there, he waved to Ayun and motioned for her to get on the carriage.
Ayun naturally ran up happily.
"Because of what happened before, my father felt that I had been wronged, so he would naturally help me."
"But after all, the eldest sister is also my father's daughter. If I keep complaining, it won't take long for my father to think that I am deliberately making things difficult."
"By then, Dad won't be able to help me anymore, and that's too much."
Ayun nodded, "That slave understands."
She put her hand on Yu Nianchu's hand and sighed, "Miss, I think the Marquis loves you very much. Why do you have to live so hard?"
"Can't father and daughter get along more honestly?"
Yu Nianchu smiled and said nothing. She thought the same way when her mother was here.
But after her mother left, everything changed, and her situation in the Hou Mansion became like walking on thin ice.
As for his father, he had clearly shown that he loved his mother-in-law so much before, but her mother's death was so mysterious that he didn't even have the slightest doubt.
If the relationship between husband and wife is like this, how can she expect that the relationship between father and daughter will be so strong.
The only person she can trust in the world now is herself.
Footsteps were heard outside the carriage. After a while, Yu Shuen opened the sedan curtain in displeasure and shouted at Ayun, "You little slave, you are still not getting down! How dare you sit in my seat!"
After saying that, he turned around and scolded Yu Nianchu, "You too, if humans and dogs are on different seats, how can master and slave ride together?"
"Or is it that my sister is willing to humble herself and feel that she is no different than a slave?"
Yu Nianchu still looked calm and calm, and opened his mouth towards Yu Nianchu.
"Sister, what you said is wrong. If a person loses his power, he will be inferior to a dog. But if a dog relies on his power, he will bite his master."
He turned around and patted Ayun on the shoulder, comforting him softly, "Go down first."
The sedan curtain was lowered again, and now only the two sisters of the Yu family were left.
Yu Shuen reacted for a long time, and then she was shocked to realize that what Yu Nianchu said just now was a roundabout way of scolding herself!
She raised her hand, wanting to slap Yu Nianchu as before, and cursed fiercely, "Bitch, who are you calling a dog?"
This time, Yu Nianchu quickly grasped Yu Shuen's wrist with quick eyes and hands, and replied calmly, "Whoever is in a hurry will do it."
Yu Shuen was so angry that her teeth were itching. This little bitch was usually timid, but now as soon as her father came back, she immediately changed into a different person. It was really hateful!
Yu Nianchu's young master, Yu Shuen, made a shushing gesture, "Sister, we are about to enter the palace. Are you sure you want to fight with my sister?"
"If you are expelled from the palace later due to disobedience, Chu'er will not save you."
Yu Shuen was so angry that she just remembered that her mother had specifically warned her before going out not to conflict with Yu Nianchu on the way.
Anyway, this little bitch won’t be proud for long.
Thinking of this, Yu Shuen finally retracted her hand and sat down on the soft couch of the carriage.
She couldn't help but look at Yu Nianchu, and soon she burst out laughing mockingly.
"Oh, why are you still so shabby now that daddy is back?"
"Look at the clothes and jewelry. They are so plain. How can they look like the daughter of a prince?"
She deliberately covered her mouth with a surprised expression, "Ah, sister forgot, sister is dead."
"This person is born without a mother, and is no different from a bastard born from a concubine~"
