Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Of course General Yu came here to talk about the marriage, but how could Xuan Cao dare to tell him? The young lady was angry, who would dare to provoke her?

While silent, General Yu entered the room with a smile on his face, and when he came in, he exaggeratedly bowed to Yu Linglong: “I bow to the princess and imperial concubine, long live the imperial concubine! Hahaha—”

His open laughter echoed in the silent room, and it was particularly harsh .

Yu Linglong glared at him in disgust, and said angrily: “What the hell are you laughing at?”

General Yu was taken aback for a moment, then the laughter stopped, and he looked at Xuan Cao and Ling’er in surprise: “What’s wrong with your lady? Who dared to make our princess angry?”

Him calling her a princess and an imperial concubine made Yu Linglong very upset, and she scolded annoyedly: “Who the hell is going to be a princess!?”

General Yu finally felt that this was wrong, so he scratched his head in confusion and said, “You don’t want to be a princess?”

In the eyes of this kind of villain, it was a great blessing to be a princess and an imperial concubine . Being Princess Xu, prosperity and wealth were just around the corner . How could Yu Linglong be unhappy?

Yu Linglong didn’t want to pay any attention to him, so she ended it with a straightforward sentence: “I won’t marry! If you want to marry, go by yourself!”

The smile on General Yu’s face completely disappeared: “What? You won’t marry?”

He really didn’t believe in his ears . Such a rare good thing could not be asked of anyone, so why did Yu Linglong say she would not marry?

Yu Linglong was too lazy to repeat herself, and said coldly: “If there’s nothing else, then get out of here! This lady is annoyed just looking at you!”

General Yu recklessly stood there, as if he hadn’t heard Yu Linglong’s words . He still couldn’t accept this fact . Although he knew that this daughter was stubborn, he never expected that she would dare to resist marriage!?

He had too many blows this day . In the morning, Master Li came to pass on Minister Feng’s words and ordered him to set off to Southern Xinjiang immediately . Then the proclaimer of the Ministry of Rites came to declare the decree to marry Yu Linglong to Lord Xu . Until now, Yu Linglong was full of anger and resolutely refused to marry . The heart of General Yu flew from the ground to the sky .

His life was really full of ups and downs .

Seeing Yu Linglong chasing him away at this moment, General Yu dared not to leave . He really couldn’t take such a big risk . If Yu Linglong really resisted the marriage, he would probably be chased back to the capital even if he was in southern Xinjiang .

Was the emperor’s imperial decree a joke? Was she really rejecting the marriage?

But his daughter was not accommodating . If he violently beat and scolded in the usual way, he was probably the one who would suffer .

Settling down, General Yu tried his best to pretend to be a kind father, and said, “Daughter, what’s wrong with you? What’s wrong? Tell me, I will think of a solution for you . ”

This may be the first time since she was born that he had spoken to his child so happily .

Looking at his disgusting face, Yu Linglong couldn’t bear it . She picked up the sewing basket on the table and smashed it directly on General Yu’s face .

“I told you to go, didn’t you hear me!?”

Did he think she was easy to fool? Did he think she didn’t know what he was thinking? His mind was full of glory and wealth, and he was selling women for glory, and now he still wanted to fool her with a smile? He must be dreaming!

The needles in the sewing basket smashed into General Yu’s face in a mess, and a few fine needles pierced deeply into his cheek, and there was a red thread hanging from his beard, shaking steadily .

General Yu grinned with pain, but he did not dare to get angry, so he continued to beg Yu Linglong for nothing, “Daughter, let me tell you . There was someone from the Ministry of War today asking me to go to Southern Xinjiang tomorrow . Look at us . There are now so few people left in the family . If I leave again, who will protect your sisters in the future? Please go to Lord Xu and let him say something—”

Yu Linglong looked at General Yu coldly . This selfish and shameless appearance was nauseating .

Knowing that he was going to be the prince’s father-in-law, General Yu was really overwhelmed . In addition to his own future, in addition to his glory and wealth, had he considered his daughter’s feelings? Had he ever wondered whether his daughter would be happy when she married Lord Xu? Would she be happy?

At this time, General Yu would use her to marry Lord Xu, just to keep himself in the capital .

Such shamelessness, such cheekiness . The current General Yu was even more contemptuous than when he swung the whip at her for the first time .

The clear gaze slowly moved away from that humble face . Yu Linglong smiled coldly .

“Do you think I will plead with you?”

General Yu didn’t seem to hear the irony in Yu Linglong’s words, and stepped forward a few steps, begging: “Daughter, only you can save your father now . With your current status, let alone the Ministry of War, even the emperor will give you some prestige—”

Yu Linglong became more disgusting as she listened . Looking at the trembling fine needles on General Yu’s face, Yu Linglong suddenly raised her hand, waved the lid of the teacup, and slammed it down!

“I’ll give you fucking prestige!”

She slammed it hard on the tail of a fine needle . The sharp needle immediately pierced General Yu’s face . One of them pierced his cheek directly into his mouth and pierced through his rugged face .

General Yu gasped with pain . His mouth opened wide and he kept gasping . The pain and bloody taste in his mouth made him unable to close his mouth anymore and he couldn’t say another word .

Yu Linglong’s voice was as cold as an ice blade, breaking through the air, and pierced into General Yu’s ears: “If you want to die, give this lady a little bit longer, don’t fucking disgust me here!”

After suffering from Yu Linglong, General Yu finally understood that whether Yu Linglong was the commoner’s daughter of the Yu house or the wife of Lord Xu, the temper of the woman in front of him would not change . She is herself, and even if she was a relative of her father, she also scolded him and beat him, showing no mercy .

General Yu opened his mouth with difficulty, and with a slight movement of his tongue, he encountered the needle tip that pierced his mouth . The pain made him dare not move too much even to exhale, for fear that the needle tip would plunge into his tongue again .

At this moment, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to talk, but he couldn’t talk .

General Yu lowered his head helplessly, turned around, and walked out . Compared with the happy appearance when he came here, he was now like an eggplant beaten by the frost, and he couldn’t be happy anymore .

Not only did the dream of being Lord Xu’s father-in-law fail, but he also had to bear the consequences of resisting the decree . General Yu suddenly felt that being able to escape to southern Xinjiang was a good result .

After driving away General Yu, Yu Linglong’s mood couldn’t get better . She wasn’t mentally prepared for this sudden imperial decree at all . For a while, she couldn’t think of a proper way to refuse the marriage .

Escape the marriage? This was just the worst strategy . Although it hadn’t been a year since ancient times, she also understood a truth: While this lord was on the earth, where could she escape if she wanted to escape? Moreover, evasion was not the fundamental solution to the problem .

Resist? In this era, the emperor was heaven . Who could resist what he said? The emperor had no time to reason with you . If you wanted to resist him, there was only one consequence, death . Although Yu Linglong is fierce, she was not a fool who only knew how to act rashly .

Should she go and ask Lord Xu to ask the emperor to take back his decree? This was even more unrealistic . Although she didn’t know much about Lord Xu, she could feel that this kid would definitely not let her go . Seeking such a man was tantamount to humiliating herself .

For the first time, Yu Linglong found it difficult to make a choice . Was she going to marry that guy that wronged her?

Unlike other women, Yu Linglong didn’t cherish the title of princess . These two words gave her the label of a certain man, which meant that she was an affiliate of this man, which was the most unbearable for her .

Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened . Xuan Cao and Ling’er came in and arranged the evening meal, and whispered to Yu Linglong: “Miss, it’s time to eat . ”

Yu Linglong rubbed her swollen forehead and sighed slightly .

Since she couldn’t think of the result, she didn’t want to think about it . The big deal was to learn from the dramatic plot . If she could escape one marriage, she could escape a hundred other things . Her hands would be tied, and she wouldn’t have any freedom

Maybe she could leave the Yu Mansion . She could still regain her old career and form an ancient gang, which was even more beautiful than it was now .

Thinking of this, Yu Linglong’s mood improved a bit, and she picked up her chopsticks to eat .

Seeing Yu Linglong’s expression lightened, Xuan Cao and Ling’er were slightly relieved, and Ling’er said, “Miss, do you know? Master is packing things up . I heard that he will leave early in the morning . ”

General Yu hit a snag with Yu Linglong, knowing that he had to go to Southern Xinjiang this time, but accepted his fate and packed up his clothes obediently .

Seeing Yu Linglong in deep thought, Linger said: “...Tomorrow will be the Lunar New Year’s Eve . I heard that the Ministry of War has issued an order to leave tomorrow so he won’t be here for the New Year . Hey, it’s not easy for the master...”

Yu Linglong sneered . Thinking about Minister Feng, he hated General Yu, otherwise, he would not relax at all . General Yu would have to fend for himself when he went to Southern Xinjiang .

It’s just that Yu Linglong didn’t intend to let him go so easily .

General Yu just left? She remembered that Lady Yu was still thinking about his son before she died, but he was still spending time outside . Such an unfaithful, unfilial, and unrighteous thing . Yu Linglong didn’t want to simply let him go .

It was a pity that General Yu would leave tomorrow, otherwise, she still had a trick to cure him severely .

Did he think he could escape if he left? Wouldn’t that be nice!

Yu Linglong put down her chopsticks, pondered for a moment, and got an idea .

General Yu liked good wine . This time he would bring some good wines from the cellar to Southern Xinjiang . If she wanted to do something, it was better to use these wines to make a fuss .

Yu Linglong looked at Ling’er and suddenly smiled faintly .

“Ling’er, I remember once you said that there was a medicine—”

...

Early the next morning, General Yu set off .

The winter in the capital was very cold, and General Yu rode his black horse slowly along the empty street .n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the early morning of New Year’s Eve, many people were making paste, preparing to paste the windows with couplets . Faint cheers and laughter came from the yard, mixed with the sporadic sound of firecrackers outside, which seemed so festive .

On a day of family reunion, General Yu walked alone on the road, away from home .

The noise of firecrackers was far away from him, and those who went away together were the warmth of home and with relatives .

His mother died, his wife was gone, his eldest son died, his second son traveled far away, the younger son disappeared, and the other daughter was dead . One concubine ran away with someone, and another concubine had a relationship with someone else . After his personal affair, how could he, a man, live with such a failure?

The more General Yu thought about it, the angrier he got, and he grabbed the wine bag beside the saddle and took a big sip . This was his habit from marching for many years . No matter where he was, he always had a bag full of wine, and he took a few sips whenever he wanted to drink .

A hot, hot current winded down his throat, bringing an unreal warmth to his whole body, and General Yu took a few big mouthfuls, and couldn’t help getting a little mad .

So what if the women were gone, so what if the children were gone? He was still in his prime, and there will be more women and sons!

After dismounting the horse, General Yu walked quickly towards the city gate .

At the same time, there was no New Year atmosphere in the Yu house, and everything was quiet .

After Concubine Mei was kicked out, the affairs of the Yu house naturally fell on Yu Qianyun’s shoulders . Because it happened so suddenly, Yu Qianyun didn’t prepare much for the arrangements for the New Year, but just posted a new couplet, as usual, instructed the kitchen to make dumplings, made a reunion dinner, and then sent some rewards to the people, even if it was over .

Nor can it be blamed on Yu Qianyun for making the arrangements too simple . Now the Yu house had only her, Yu Qianfang, and Yu Linglong . There have been too many things happening this year, and it was impossible to welcome the New Year with great fanfare .

However, no matter how simple it was, this New Year’s Eve reunion dinner was always to be eaten . Yu Qianyun sent someone to invite Yu Qianfang and Yu Linglong to come over and set a banquet in the main hall .

There were dozens of steaming meals on the huge wooden table, but only three of them sat at the table, looking very deserted .

Yu Linglong hadn’t seen Yu Qianfang for a long time . Even though it was New Year’s Eve, Yu Qianfang was still wearing a plain cloth shirt with a simple bun on her head, sitting at the table with the beads in her hands . She didn’t move her chopsticks, didn’t speak, and you couldn’t know what she was thinking .

Yu Qianyun tried her best to show the two of them, talking and arranging vegetables, but it was a pity that they were cold and quiet, and none of them chatted with her .

Yu Qianyun asked the maid to bring a dish in front of her to Yu Qianfang and said with a smile: “Second Sister, you have lost a lot of weight recently . Drink some chicken soup . I told them to put in some herbal medicine, which is very nourishing . ”

Yu Qianfang looked at the fragrant chicken soup before her eyes, and said lightly: “The fifth sister doesn’t know anything . I’m eating vegetarian . ”

Yu Qianyun was a little dazed, not understanding what Yu Qianfang’s words meant . Yu Linglong glanced at her coldly, without speaking .

Yu Qianfang put down her chopsticks and said calmly: “I want to tell my two sisters one thing . ”

Yu Qianyun grinned reluctantly: “Second Sister, if you have anything to say, let’s talk about it after dinner . ”

Yu Linglong put down her chopsticks: “Just tell me . ”

She could feel that Yu Qianfang was completely different from her past self, and what she wanted to say should be related to her future .

Sure enough, Yu Qianfang said, “This is the last meal that my two sisters and I will have together . After this year, I will shave my head . ”

Even if Yu Qianyun didn’t understand what it meant to be a vegetarian, she should also understand what Yu Qianfang said . She immediately understood what Yu Qianfang meant .

Yu Qianyun was so shocked that she couldn’t hold her chopsticks, and they fell on the table .

Regardless of picking up the chopsticks, Yu Qianyun immediately said: “Second Sister, you can’t say that!”

Yu Qianfang smiled faintly: “I have decided, and Fifth Sister doesn’t need to say more . ”

Her gaze fell on Yu Linglong’s face . Her face that was as plain as water all the time, was showing a little complicated expression .

Yu Linglong looked back at her . Her expression was calm, and she slowly said, “Since it has been decided, there is nothing wrong with it . ”

Yu Qianyun looked at the two sisters in front of her and didn’t know what to say for a while .

After a while, she hesitated and said: “... Fourth Sister, please persuade Second Sister . ”

Yu Linglong smiled coldly: “How can I persuade her? Everyone has their own blessings . She is willing to become a nun, which is a good thing for her . ”

When Yu Qianyun heard these shocking words, she couldn’t help being completely stunned .

Yu Linglong could understand Yu Qianfang’s thoughts . Yu Qianfang was not Yu Qianliu . She was more calm and mature . All the changes that have occurred in the Yu house in the past six months, Yu Qianfang silently saw . Maybe it was precisely because of this that Yu Qianfang saw through the world and decided to leave human society and become a nun .

She remembered that when she was angry, she shaved Yu Qianfang’s hair, but she didn’t expect to plant such a cause and effect .

Yu Qianyun was stunned for a while, and still said without giving up: “Second Sister, if you think about it, now my father is gone, and there are only these sisters in the house that depend on each other...”

Perhaps it was because Yu Qianyun had lived in the country for a long time and had never had family affection for many years, but it hadn’t been long since she returned to the house, but she encountered such an incident again, so she wanted to keep Yu Qianfang .

Yu Qianfang smiled and shook her head, with a sad tone: “Right, there are only a few of us left . Such a big family business has fallen apart in no time . ”

She raised her eyes to Yu Qianyun and said quietly: “Fifth Sister, I advise you to plan for your own future . Staying in the house is not a long-term solution after all . ”

She glanced at Yu Linglong with complicated eyes, and said firmly, “I will leave tomorrow . ”

Yu Qianyun couldn’t persuade her anymore . Yu Linglong kept watching her coldly, and the room fell silent .

The exquisite dishes on the table gradually lost heat and finally cooled down .

After a long time, Yu Qianfang finally stood up and said faintly: “I’m leaving . Take care, my sisters . ”

Looking at Yu Qianfang leave without turning back, Yu Qianyun’s face showed a helpless, bitter smile, and she looked back at Yu Linglong .

“Fourth Sister, you and I are left now . ”
