"Bang 'er, Second Sister and I saw you talking to Eldest Sister just now and wanted to give you more time. Don't you think so, Second Sister?" Yu Cailing raised her bright little face and looked at Yu Caiyue.
Yu Caiyue saw Yu Cailing blinking her eyes, and smiled knowingly,""That's right! Look, we're thinking about you, but it's our fault!”
"Alright then! Bang 'er has wronged you two sisters! Please don't take offense! Bang 'er is also worried that you will lose your manners. Grandmother will be unhappy later!”Yu Linbang cupped his hands and bowed to the two of them when he heard this. Then, he said innocently.
"Yue 'er greets Eldest Sister!" "Ling 'er greets Eldest Sister!" Hearing this, the two girls slowly turned around and greeted Yu Yin 'er. Yu Yin' er did not pretend to be polite and just helped her up."You and I are sisters, so why are you so polite?”
Yu Caiyue was about to glare at this fool and taunt her, but Yu Cailing, who was beside her, pulled her back gently. She instinctively turned her head to look, but Yu Cailing indicated that she didn't want to.
"Good! I didn't expect that I, an old woman, would be able to see you siblings so loving in my lifetime. My Yu Family's ancestors are really alive!”An old but powerful voice came from behind her.
The old man slowly walked over with a dragon-headed walking stick. Although his pace was slow, it did not lose its grandeur. He looked like he was staggering, but he was a strong person. It was obvious that this Matriarch was a martial artist!
Yu Yin 'er's face was full of smiles. Her grandmother had died early in her previous life, so she was always filled with joy when she saw such an old man. Her eyes swept across the face of the old matriarch. She had a head of silver hair, which was combed into a double-edged bun. There was only one golden hairpin, and the rest were all jeweled hairpins and rings. The most eye-catching one was the Buyao, which was a peony flower. The flowers and stamens in the middle were round pearls, making people unable to take their eyes off her.
Although her face had aged, one could still vaguely see that she was a great beauty when she was young. Her eyes could make one's legs go weak.
She was wearing a royal blue embroidered dress. The wide sleeves covered her skin, only revealing her neck. There was a blue gem necklace hanging on it, making her look especially energetic.
"Yin 'er greets Grandmother. Grandmother is well!”the jade croon's brows. He smiled and walked up to her, then bowed. His etiquette was very standard, causing Matriarch Yu to be slightly stunned.
The woman in the light blue dress looked graceful and generous, especially her clear eyes. When she smiled, they were like crescent moons. There were also faint dimples on her face. Her face could not be called beautiful, but it could be considered delicate. Her dress was dignified and elegant, and it was very eye-catching. However, was this her annoying eldest granddaughter?
"Get up!" Matriarch Yu didn't say much. She only said a few words lightly and then walked past Yu Yin 'er with Yu Wanwan and the two masters.
Cold? It seemed that it was just as Mingyue had said. Grandmother didn't dote on him, and Uncle didn't love him! Yu Yin 'er, you idiot, what exactly are you asking for?
Yu Yin 'er turned around and saw Matriarch Yu holding Yu Caiyue's hand and asking about her well-being. She asked about everything, big or small. In the end, she even gave Yu Caiyue and Yu Cailing a gift each, saying that it was a reward for the two of them being so obedient at home!
Yu Wanwan, who was standing behind him, felt very uncomfortable. Her mother didn't like Liang Jingyi, a scholar from a foreign land, and she also didn't like Yu Yinyin. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn around and look at Yu Yiner.
Yu Yin 'er was neither angry nor crying. There was only a faint smile on her face. Her pair of phoenix eyes looked at Matriarch Yu without any ripples, but her hands were tightly gripping the handkerchief. Yu Wanwan couldn't remember how many times she had seen Yu Yin' er like this.
She always had this indifferent look on her face, as if nothing could hurt her.
Matriarch Yu sat on the armchair above and placed her walking stick aside. The people behind her had already taken their seats. Yu Wanwan sat on her lower right side while Yu Linbang sat on her left side. As she ate her snacks, her eyes darted around her elder sister.
Yu Yin 'er and her two sisters sat on the right, while the two assistant ministers and three servants sat on the right.
"I heard that His Majesty has bestowed a marriage?" Matriarch Yu leaned back in her chair and asked slowly.
As soon as these words were said, Yu Wanwan's expression instantly changed, and her stunning face froze. In the Jade Mansion, only she knew about this, but even her mother, who was far away in Qing An Temple, knew about it. Who exactly was the mole in this family?
"Wan 'er, it was the Empress Dowager who told me about this wretched old woman!”When Matriarch Yu saw that Yu Wanwan didn't answer, she knew that she was feeling uncomfortable, so she changed the topic.
The empress dowager, yes, it was the empress dowager. The empress dowager was his mother's sister, Jin Lan. How could he not tell his mother about this? He had miscalculated!
"Yes, mother. His Majesty has indeed bestowed the marriage, but Yin 'er, Yue' er, and Ling 'er have not yet reached adulthood, so I have postponed this matter!”Yu Wanwan simply brought out all three of them. Since Yu Yin 'er couldn't be spared, these few wouldn't have a good time either!
"The fifth month is almost here. I remember that Yinyin's birthday is in the fifth month, which is only half a month from now. It's the same if we accept the imperial edict and get married after we reach adulthood. It's the blessing of our ancestors for the daughter of the Yu family to marry into the royal family.”Matriarch Yu looked down at the jade thumb ring in her hand and said to herself, but she did not notice the veins on Yu Yin 'er's forehead bulging.
Marry into the royal family? No, Yu Yin 'er would rather die than marry into the royal family. The royal family was so cold and thin, just like the noble family's deep sea. Why should she marry into the royal family?
" Grandmother, please forgive me. Yin 'er has no intention of marrying into the royal family. Can you…" Before she could finish, a cup flew straight at her. Ming Yue, who was behind her, quickly blocked it with her right arm. The boiling water splashed on Ming Yue's arm.
"Hiss!" Summer's clothes were thin and the tea was just boiled. Now that it was stained with clothes, it was naturally even hotter. Mingyue did not dare to make a sound, and Yu Yinyin was completely stunned.
"How dare you! You can't disobey the emperor's orders. Are you going to let the Yu Family die with you because of your willfulness?”This willfulness was exactly the same as her father. Selfish and ugly, Matriarch Yu cursed in her heart!
Yu Wanwan was also shocked. She saw that the tea was just boiled. Her mother had practiced martial arts and was able to throw things accurately. If it wasn't for that servant girl today, she was afraid...
" Mother, you..." Yu Wanwan really wanted to blame her mother, but her mother's sharp gaze swept over her, and she lowered her head. That was her mother, not anyone else. How could she be so ruthless as to blame her mother!
"Hehe, does grandmother mean that you want your granddaughter to be buried with the future of the Yu Family?”Yu Yin 'er could no longer suppress her emotions. Crystal tears rolled down from her eyes as she cried uncontrollably. Everything she had planned turned into bubbles at this moment. The beautiful life she had seen was about to begin, but it was shattered because of this old man who she thought was kind.
She originally wanted to respect this old woman, even if she didn't like her. She originally thought that she could rely on her own efforts to become the proud daughter of a generation, but this was all a dream!
"Bastard! Yu Yin 'er, who gave you the right to talk to me like this?”Matriarch Yu stood up and slammed her dragon-headed walking stick on the ground. The rest of the people knelt down one after another.
"Seeing the abduct is like seeing the emperor. Yu Yin 'er, why don't you kneel!”Matriarch Yu looked at Yu Yin 'er coldly with her hooked eyes.
Unexpectedly, Yu Yin 'er raised her teary eyes and looked straight at Matriarch Yu.""If you don't kneel, you'll implicate your entire family, right?”
"Since you know, why don't you kneel?”Matriarch Yu's anger was already soaring to the sky. She had never thought that this family's fool would actually dare to look at her directly and even challenge her authority. Not to mention the people of the Yu Family, even the emperor would have to give her some face. A little girl actually wanted to contradict her!
"Hehe, which one of you here isn't from my nine clans, including you, grandmother? You're also one of my nine clans! Don't you feel scared when you leave this at home?”Yu Yin 'er laughed in spite of her tears, but her heart was as cold as winter.
How many of the people kneeling here treated her, Yu Yin 'er, as a member of the Yu Family? If it was the original owner, she was probably not even a human in their eyes! Since that was the case, why should she sacrifice herself for people like them?
Why should he sacrifice his own happiness for them? Annihilate nine clans? Who in the nine clans cared about her? Forced marriage? If she wanted to die, who could stop her?
Therefore, Yu Yin 'er did not want to be such a good person! If he wanted to do it, he should be a person who only cared about profit. He wanted her to sacrifice herself? Sure, she would definitely agree to the conditions!
"You…you unfilial daughter! Someone, someone! Take this rebellious girl down and beat her with fifty sticks until she admits her mistake!”The veins on Matriarch Yu's face bulged, and her hand that was pointing at Yu Yin 'er kept trembling.
When the people below heard this, some of them raised their heads and wanted to speak. Unexpectedly, Matriarch Yu spoke again,"Whoever pleads for mercy will be punished equally!"
Immediately, the people below lowered their heads obediently and stopped talking!
As soon as Matriarch Yu's voice fell, two burly old maids immediately came up and held Yu Yin 'er's arms, dragging her out.
As soon as he reached the door, Yu Yin 'er stopped and turned to look at Matriarch Yu with a faint smile.""Matriarch Yu, why don't you just kill me? If you kill me, I will no longer be a disgrace to the Yu Family! If you kill me, the royal family will not find trouble with you! Aren't you afraid that I'll destroy the Yu Family one day?”
Anyway, they had already shed all pretense of cordiality. This was not a big deal. If it was possible, she was willing to leave this cold family from now on. With her own abilities, it was not impossible for her to live alone!
