Unforgettable Emperor's Favor - Chapter 61 Part 2

61. Playing Chess (2)

In the courtyard of the main household, the maids were all beaming with joy and walking with a breeze.

Madam Li was also so happy that she almost spun around on the ground.

She found a maid in front of her who was as young as a fresh onion and sent her away coldly.

For the first time in her life, she poured a cup of tea herself and slowly brought it back inside.

“Eldest Son~.”

Madam Li put the tea on the low table, sat down opposite him with her head lowered, and said, “You’ve had a hard journey, have a cup of hot tea and rest.”

Yu Wenjun looked at the white smoke curling up from the Moon Porcelain tea cup and did not move for a long time.

Madam Li was already old and she’s still acting like a shy young woman.

After waiting for a while and there was no response, she felt uneasy.

Madam Li couldn’t help but turn her eyes upwards, secretly glancing at Yu Wenjun’s expression.

Although Yu Wenjun stared at the tea cup, his eyes were blank and he was obviously thinking about other things.

Seeing that Yu Wenjun was distracted, Madam Li couldn’t help but secretly felt a resentment in her heart.

‘Which little hoof caught his attention again?’

Madam Li suddenly became furious when she thought of the maids who had just come in to change the water.

Madam Li is usually uptight and serious, and she despises people wearing bright clothes and dressing up seductively.

Madam Li thought to herself that it must be those b–tches who were acting wild and deliberately swerving left and right when walking, which made Yu Wenjun lose his mind.

In fact, no matter how a woman dresses up, if a man can’t control his itch, she can’t really do anything about it.

However, Madam Li did not blame men for their actions, instead, she hates every woman in the world who is not dignified, virtuous, and simple enough.

Madam Li secretly thought that she would sell out those young maids tomorrow and replace them with a few short ones with big faces and wide foreheads.

Madam Li made up her mind, and suddenly felt that her life was quite miserable.

‘Why did she always have to be trampled on by those conniving and evil women?’

She called out sadly and said, “Eldest Son, are you not satisfied with the tea I served? If you are not satisfied, I will go and boil the water again.”

Yu Wenjun suddenly spoke at this time, “You call me Eldest Son?”

Madam Li was stunned for a moment after being asked, and then nodded, and said, “Yes, you are the first son of the eldest master, so you should be called Eldest Son.”

“No, my parents are Yu Yan and his wife from the second household, and I am not the eldest son.”

Yu Wenjun shook his head and smiled mockingly, “The one who should be called Eldest Son is my eldest brother.”

Madam Li couldn’t answer, and she was very confused.

‘What was Yu Wenjun talking about?’

He has obviously been adopted by the eldest family, his name is on the family tree, and no one can hold him liable anymore.

“Growing up, it was my elder brother who was called Eldest son, and the Sixth Son was me.”

Yu Wenjun stared at Madam Li, his eyes staring sharply like daggers, which made Madam Li restless.

“After the death of my eldest brother, my grandmother changed her address and called me ‘Eldest Grandson’, and the subordinates below don’t dare to be unhappy, so they also changed their address. The same goes for you. You act like you’re sorry, but in your heart, you still regard me as my elder brother’s substitute.”

“I’ve never been a person in your eyes, just a token for my elder brother.”

Madam Li couldn’t sit still and said hurriedly, “It’s not…”

“No matter how much you deny it, don’t you think that I don’t have any eyesight to see it for myself?”

Yu Wenjun suddenly stood up and pulled his sleeves together,

“It just so happens that I have never regarded myself as the Eldest Son. I am the Sixth Son of the Yu family. My wife is my childhood sweetheart, the daughter of the Yu family who I had been engaged with since childhood. Today, because of my grandmother’s face, I have to leave my daughter in the inner courtyard, but this kind of thing ends here. Sister-in-law, it’s getting late. It’s not appropriate for me to stay for a long time, so I’ll go back first.”

After Yu Wenjun finished speaking, he walked out.

Madam Li sat in silence for a moment, then stood up and chased after him, “How dare you, Yu Laojun clearly said…”

Yu Wenjun stopped, turned around and looked directly at her coldly, “Why? Are you still planning to go to my grandmother to fan the flames and repeat your old tricks? Then what? Ask Jiajia to take care of you?”

What Yu Wenjun said refers to the incident where Madam Yu was forced to serve the sick Yu Laojun.

It was called serving the sick, but it was actually meant as a demonstration.

Since Madam Yu’s death, this has become Yu Wenjun’s heartache.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know that Yu Qingjia had already been treated to ‘Serve on the sick’ under the same method.

Madam Li’s voice suddenly became hoarse, and Yu Wenjun thought of what had happened in the past.

He was filled with grief and regret, which was so complex that it was hard to describe, and finally it all turned into a self-deprecating cry.

It was his fault, he had wronged his wife, so he deserved to lose her, and live in loneliness and guilt all his life.

Yu Wenjun closed his eyes forcefully, and when he opened them again, they were calm and distant, without any emotion.

Like the most upright and polite brother-in-law, he then said to his eldest sister-in-law, “What happened back then was because I was stupid, and I really believed what you said, but the same mistake will not happen again. I have hurt my wife, so I’ll use the rest of my life to pay it back, but if you guys dare to touch my daughter, even if you’re my elders, I won’t tolerate you.”

“Sister-in-law, please take care of yourself.”

After Yu Wenjun finished speaking, he walked out.

When Madam Li heard the words ‘Sister-in-law’, she knew that in the future, even if Yu Laojun was partial to her, Yu Wenjun would never stay overnight again.

The son and heir she had been looking forward to for so many years was just a dream now.

Madam Li’s mind immediately collapsed.

Madam Yu was already dead, and a year of mourning was not even enough for him.

Could it be that Yu Wenjun really planned to not marry or take concubines in the future, but to stay loyal to Madam Yu for the rest of his life?

‘What was so good about that woman?’

When she was alive, she was so suffocating that Madam Li could not breathe.

Even in death, she was still the same.

Even her daughter was held in the palm of Yu Wenjun’s hand like a pearl.

But Yu Qingya is also his daughter!

Today at Yu Laojun’s place, Yu Wenjun returned from a thousand miles and turned a blind eye to their mother and daughter.

However, as soon as Yu Qingjia came in, he immediately lost his aloof demeanor and asked Yu Qingjia about her life in detail inside the mansion.

Now, just because Madam Li mentioned Yu Qingjia, he actually said that he would draw a clear line in the future, and even made no secret of it to Yu Laojun.

Madam Li couldn’t help but chase after him.

She grabbed Yu Wenjun’s sleeve humbly and begging.

She then brought out her daughter to threaten him, “You said you were sorry for Yu Qingjia, but Ya’er is also your daughter. How are you worthy of her if you do this?”

Hearing Yu Qingya’s name, Yu Wenjun paused, and finally opened Madam Li’s hand bit by bit, “I indeed owe Qingya , and I will make up for it separately, but this has nothing to do with you.”
