C347 The truth of that year

In just a few short moments, she had become even more impudent. She wanted to go deeper, but it was too late! So...

Yue Liusu pressed both of his hands firmly onto Shen Jueming's chest, trying to increase the distance between them.

Finally it was pulled away by her. She panted heavily, "Uhh … Uhh … I really have to go now. Late, late okay?" She spoke in a much lower tone.

He lowered his head, his hands still tightly grabbing onto the front of his shirt in front of his chest. The room was filled with an ambiguous smell.

At this point, Shen Jueming's heart had already softened.

"En, tonight. We'll talk about it later …" Someone deliberately dragged the last two words for a long time.

"Eh …" Why did Yue Liusu feel that she had done something stupid?

"Alright, I won't tell you anymore. Time is of the essence, I'll be leaving first." Yue Liusu's tone of voice was extremely quick. After tidying up her dress, she turned around and walked out of the room.

Shen Jueming's figure swiftly disappeared from the spot.

After leaving the small courtyard and passing through the corridor, they arrived at the rear courtyard of Yue Mansion. The main hall was located in the first room on the opposite side of the door.

"Father." Yue Liusu blessed Yue Cheng.

"Come, come, sit, no need to stand on ceremony." Seeing that, Yue Cheng could not hide his smile, and called for Butler Yue to help her move out of the chair.

"Thank you, father, for your love." Yue Liusu laughed faintly. Currently, there were only her and Yue Cheng on the dining table, the changes that had occurred in the past half year were really huge.

"Come, eat, these are all dishes that you like to eat. Father instructed the kitchen to make these. Come and have a taste, it tastes pretty good." Yue Cheng said in an attentive manner.

In Yue Liusu's memories, this was the first time this had happened. If it was in the past, let alone being this polite, even talking to her would make him feel very impatient.

Yue Liusu picked up a chopstick and tasted the taste. The taste received from the taste buds was really not bad, but...

Things had long since changed.

"Not bad." Yue Liusu answered, "Father, do you have something to say? Now that I'm back, why haven't I seen the aunt and sisters yet? "

Yue Liusu pretended not to notice.

The smile on Yue Cheng's face immediately disappeared, and he put down his chopsticks with a worried look on his face. Yue Liusu had never looked at Yue Cheng carefully, and from the looks of it, he seemed to be a lot older than half a year ago.

Yue Liusu put down his chopsticks, and asked with concern: "Is there anything father is hiding from Liusu?"

Yue Cheng slightly lifted her lips, and said forcefully: "Ah, Liusu, something has happened to your Yue Mansion, so you're the only one left father now."

Yue Liusu frowned, "What does father mean by this?"

It had to be said that Yue Liusu's act was rather pretentious.

"Two months after you left, your Third Madame suddenly passed away from serious illness. Your two younger sisters fell sick one after the other and were bedridden. Your mother … no, your concubine is currently thinking about something …"

"As for your Second Sister, she … You must have heard of her. To do such a crazy thing, you no longer have any face to live in this world. Two days ago, the crown prince personally wrote the words "divorce paper". After saying that, Yue Cheng fiercely smashed his fist on the table, his face filled with disappointment and disappointment.

"I originally thought that she would smoothly marry the crown prince, become the Crown Princess, and stabilize her own position. I never thought that she would actually do such a heartless thing! How many lives had fallen into her hands!? How can my Yue Mansion keep her! "

"The emperor has already made a preliminary decision on this matter. That is …"

"So it means letting father settle the matter personally?" Otherwise, why would Yue Linger be locked in the dungeon in the Yue Mansion? This was a huge matter, and also a family matter, but since Yue Linger had already broken off the engagement, then this matter had nothing to do with the Imperial Family.

What was left was Yue Cheng's own family matters, for her own daughter to do such an unfilial thing, how could Yue Mansion keep her?

"Yeah, that's right …" Yue Cheng let out a heavy sigh.

"Does Daddy find it difficult?" Yue Liusu continued to ask.

Hearing that, Yue Cheng was furious, he slapped his hand again, and the servants standing in a row were all trembling in fear.

"Difficult! I should have cut her into pieces! You actually still have the face to come back alive after losing all my face in Yue Mansion! It's me, I will directly die in the demonic beast Forest, and with more honor, I won't implicate my mother's family! "

Hearing that, Yue Liusu's heart immediately became colder. Turns out, Yue Cheng was more concerned about the face of Yue Mansion.

But carefully thinking about it, what he had done was not wrong, he had spent half his life worth of effort to obtain the position of the Yue Mansion in the Imperial City, and had even become the right hand man of the Imperial Family. He was defeated by Yue Linger in an instant, and if it was her, Yue Linger would not even be able to find a corpse.

In terms of emotions, it was reasonable. This time, even Yue Linger found it hard to escape from her calamity.

After all, she was his daughter that he had raised wholeheartedly. It was just not the same.

Actually, there was another aspect to it, Qiu Huayan was the daughter of the current Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister was Yue Linger's grandfather. Even if Qi Yueling were to end the engagement, the Emperor would only hand Yue Linger over to Yue Cheng to settle it, and that was because there was still another layer of relationship that could not be broken through.

Now that they were in a state of chaos, no matter how calm the emperor was, he would not let Yue Linger go on the spot.

The prime minister and the Yue Mansion were the same, both being the emperor's right and left arms, no matter how he moved, it was inappropriate.

It had to be said that the emperor's move was a good one!

"So? What does Daddy plan to do? " Yue Liusu asked at a moderate pace. To her, no matter what Yue Cheng did, she would not lose anything.

"I'm leaving for the borders in two days. Before that, I want …" Yue Cheng took a deep breath, making it difficult to make a decision.

"Daddy, do you want to think it over for another two days?" Yue Liusu suggested.

She did not want to be a good child, it was just a suggestion. Although her Yue Mansion was in a mess right now, she still needed to think about it carefully.

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Yue Cheng smiled and said, "Let us not talk about this first, I'll give you a welcoming dinner. Come, let's have a drink!"

"Alright!" Yue Liusu raised his glass and clinked it with Yue Cheng's.

At the table, Yue Cheng talked about some of the memories he had of Yue Liusu's childhood, as if he was brainwashing her.

It was a pity, if he had trusted her nine years ago, their relationship wouldn't be like this now. Even if she wasn't his biological father, she thought, she would still shoulder her responsibilities.

What a pity …

"I still remember that year when your mother barged into my residence at night and was seriously injured. I saved her, and I remember that it was also a winter. It was as cold as today, and the red plums in the courtyard were blooming." Yue Cheng was obviously drunk, and his words were muddled.

"Later on, I thought that your mother would leave, but she actually stayed and married me. I remember that it was in February, right at the Vermilion Bird Courtyard." Yue Cheng recalled, and although her words were unclear, she still heard an important message.

Yue Liusu couldn't help but be shocked, "Dong Ri …."

Her birthday was obviously in October, but her mother had married Yue Cheng in February …

Ten months pregnant, ten months pregnant …

Time didn't match, she didn't really believe that her own mother would have a relationship with Yue Cheng before this, let alone on the feudal continent.

Or else … Had his mother suddenly discovered that she was pregnant, or was she just running away from him? Or didn't want to see her husband?

Yue Liusu had a bold guess in his heart.

This conjecture gave her a fright.

Yue Cheng was already drunk, lying unconscious on the table.

"Butler Yue, help General Yue back to his room. Clean up the table." Yue Liusu instructed, he stood up and left with big strides.

On the way back to the courtyard, the number of guards patrolling inside the Yue Mansion increased, and they all respectfully greeted her when they saw her.

Back in the courtyard, Liu Yiner was sitting on the swing, eating snacks. Fortunately she had bought some from the market, otherwise, she would have been bored to death.

"Yin Er." Yue Liusu quietly walked behind Liu Yiner and heavily patted her shoulders.

Liu Yiner was so scared that he started to cough dryly. She was still eating. With someone slapping her, her heart was pounding. "Cough, cough, cough …" You... "Cough, cough, cough …"

Seeing that something was wrong with him, Yue Liusu hurriedly went forward to help Liu Yiner carry the food on his back, "Look at you, I don't know how to slow down if you want to eat something, but who wants to steal something from you?"

Fine! A certain someone acted preemptively.

"You!" Liu Yiner was enraged, she wanted to say something, but was unable to do so, he covered his mouth and coughed: "Cough cough cough …"

"Alright, alright. I haven't eaten anything either. Can I take you out to eat?" Yue Liusu's words dispelled the anger in his heart.

"You said you can't go back on your words!" Liu Yiner's face was red from choking, her voice hoarse, but she was still thinking about leaving.

"Alright, let's go out later. Is there anything else to eat? Give me some, I'm still hungry." Yue Liusu sat next to Liu Yiner and asked.

"Didn't you go to eat? "One more thing, I'll give you a bit more."

"Thank you, I really didn't eat it. I even drank two cups. My stomach was burning heavily, so I had to find something to eat to ease it up."

"Alright, alright. I still have some tea water so I'll pour you a cup."

"Thank you."

Thus, the two of them sat down and ate together in harmony, talking and laughing.

After finishing the food, Yue Liusu strolled inside the Yue Mansion alone for a round. With so many guards in the Yue Mansion, she had to find an opening to crawl out, right?

By the time Yue Liusu returned, it was already deep into the night.

"How is it?" Liu Yiner lowered his voice and asked.

Yue Liusu made a gesture that there was no problem at all, and upon seeing it, he quickly slipped over.

"Let's sneak out through the back door later. There are dozens of guards patrolling the yard at night, changing places every hour or so. There's even a little bit of time. Let's hurry up, there's no problem at all." Yue Liusu and Liu Yiner were secretly hiding at the entrance of the courtyard, whispering to each other.

Alright, this really was her home, but she couldn't avoid sneaking in and out.

"There's still about the time to make a cup of tea. Let's go back and change into a set of men's clothing that will allow us to travel. We'll gather here in a while, understand?" Yue Liusu whispered.
