Chapter 202: Want to Disown Your Child?

eached out to gently pat Yu Xuanji's shoulder twice. 。Yu Xuanji sniffled again, but still no tears came. Instead, she lifted her head and broke into a brilliant smile. 。Yu's eldest sister wasn't consi...Yè Chǔlián refused. In her view, this was a family matter, and Quán Qīngchéng wasn't someone she needed to involve herself with. There was simply no need for her to get involved with him. 。But Quán Qīngchéng didn't think so. He told Yè Chǔlián, "You've given me advice twice now, so we must have a deep friendship. I truly consider you a friend, even a close confidante." 。If you consider me a friend, then tell the truth. Otherwise, I'll lift your skirt and see for myself. 。"

Ye Chu Lian quickly stepped aside and said, "I, I was punished to kneel by the old madam at home. I knelt for three hours, and my knees are swollen..." 。It's nothing major, I'm used to it. Just a few more, that's all. 。"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. My fourth older sister is a renowned physician. I can just go back and ask her to treat me."

Quingcheng was so angry that he stomped his feet, "Is your grandmother sick She doesn't look favorably upon any of her grandchildren! I heard she even speaks poorly of your second young master and dislikes your eldest son even more. What is she trying to do She finds fault with both girls and boys. Does she want to eradicate the entire family line Does she want all of us dead, then burn down General's Residence to finish it"

Ye Chulian didn't know what her grandmother was thinking either. Just like Your Majesty said, nothing about her grandchildren is good enough - boys are no good, girls are no good, the first wife's children are no good, and the second wife's children are no good either." 。Even the legitimate ones don't work, and those who are not legitimate don't work either. I raised them myself from a young age, but I haven't seen any progress. It seems like only Ye Hongzhuang is capable in the whole family. 。Then maybe she just likes to dress up at night! Wu Fei advised Quan Qingcheng: "Your Majesty, don't get angry. It's time for court." 。"

Quen Qingcheng nodded, and took two deep breaths, trying his best to press down the anger in his heart. Then he loudly ordered the palace maid guarding outside: "Go and deliver breakfast. After breakfast, send the imperial physician to see Ye Wu's leg." 。" The eunuchs outside ran off to serve the meal. He said to Ye Chulian, “Just stay here and have breakfast first. After you finish, let the imperial physician take a look at your knee.” 。Although Sister Wenyan is a skilled doctor, you're already in the palace. I can't let you go back with an injury. 。Just listen to me, this is an imperial order, it cannot be disobeyed. 。"

After finishing his words, Quan Qingcheng went to court. Wu Fei made a "listening" expression towards Ye Chu Lian and followed Quan Qingcheng.

" 。Ye Chu was left alone in the Shenxian Hall that night. She watched as palace servants set a round table before her, and then one by one, dishes of breakfast were served. It felt like a dream. 。She had imagined such a scene many times, but when everything became real, there wasn't as much joy as she had expected. 。She was not content with her lowly birth, nor with how the family ignored her. She was also not content with the second mistress constantly picking on her. 。Every time she was wronged, she would lock herself in her room and play a game with Xiyi. 。She played the role of the Fourth Sister in that game because the Fourth Sister was the most unrestrained and free-spirited one in the mansion, both in the past and present. She was the one she envied the most and the one she wanted to be the most. 。Yet she could never truly become Ye Wenyan, she could only play the role of Ye Wenyan. She played it until now, with everything developing in a positive direction. She could even have sleepless nights talking with the Emperor and enjoy lavish breakfasts in the palace, watching courtiers kneel before her. All these good things... 。But everything was no longer as it used to be. What she had longed for and fantasized about was also no longer the same. She could no longer dream of entering the palace as a concubine, becoming someone superior, and having everyone call her "Your Grace" when she returned home. 。Now her heart held another person, that person was like a passing cloud, drifting and drifting until it appeared before her eyes, just one glance made her remember him constantly. 。It's a pity, to cherish something dearly is to remember it, but there hasn't been any response. 。It's like an iceberg she could never melt, no matter if you look at her or talk to her, it's always devoid of any emotion. 。She'll never know what he's thinking, and he'll never care what she's thinking. 。Perhaps that's all there is to it! Ye Chu Lian thought, perhaps this was the deepest connection she had with His Highness, the Dust King, and also all the connections there were. 。But what could she expect from just a fleeting glance What did she even know about him

Books always say you shouldn't judge a person by their looks, so why should you fall for someone based on their appearance

Night Chu Lian consoled herself this way, then picked up her chopsticks and started eating breakfast. 。The eunuchs waiting by her side were overjoyed to see her willing to eat, and they eagerly served her dishes. 。The breakfast service was so elaborate, it felt like being served by a court official. Ye Chu Lian felt quite embarrassed. 。After breakfast, the imperial physician arrived promptly. It was none other than the white physician who had accompanied them to the outer city to treat the wounded. 。Ye Chulian was very happy to see him, she proactively stood up to greet him, and even bowed. 。The white physician hastily returned the courtesy, "Fifth Sister, you are too polite. We are considered acquaintances, so there's no need for such formalities towards an old man like me." 。t does, I'll drag you down with me. That's the price you pay for your youthful indulgences. 。The Night Family had almost managed to escape the clutches of the ladies, after all, they were all clever...
