Chapter 47 The dove takes over the magpie's nest
Yu Tingwan's eyes flickered slightly, and looking at his reaction, he became more and more certain that there must be other situations that have not been discovered yet.
"My daughter went to the palace to express her gratitude yesterday. When chatting with the Queen, she told me that when my mother was seriously ill, my father went to the Imperial Hospital to invite several imperial doctors to come to the mansion to treat my mother.
Although my daughter was young at that time, she still vaguely remembers that there was only one imperial physician in my mother's courtyard! May I ask, father, where did the other imperial physicians go? "
The last sentence was said while looking at Li.
After finishing speaking, he looked in the direction of Minister Yu again.
But I saw him breathe a sigh of relief, and even his previously furrowed brows relaxed a little.
"It is indeed my fault, but I had no choice at the time. Your brother suddenly fell ill, and the doctors in the city could not cure him. I had no choice but to ask the imperial physician to come to the mansion to treat him in your mother's name."
Haha, Yu Tingwan could hardly hold back her laughter. Seeing him look as if he was thinking about her and caring about her brother, she really wanted to tear his face apart.
Then Yu Tingwan looked at him sarcastically, "Brother? My mother didn't give me a brother. Besides, my mother is sick and her son is also sick? This is really a coincidence!
A mistress of a house actually only hired one imperial physician. As a concubine's son, even if he was sick, he should not have hired several imperial physicians on the pretext of his stepmother's illness. Among the several imperial physicians, only one went to see his stepmother. He was really "filial" to the extreme!
Not to mention that my mother died of a serious illness not long after, which made me wonder whether my mother died because she didn’t get better treatment, or…”
Yu Tingwan looked at Minister Yu, then glanced at Li, and spoke the next words word by word.
"Or did someone do this on purpose? Just to prevent the imperial physician from seeing my mother? Could there be another reason for my mother's death?"
Hearing what she said, a trace of panic flashed across Li's eyes, and then she began to cry and wailed.
"Miss, what do you mean? Are you doubting that Lang'er was faking his illness? How could you miss your brother so much? How old was your brother at that time? How could such a young person pretend to be sick?"
"When did I say I was pretending?" Yu Tingwan glanced at her sideways, and seeing that her eyes were slightly relaxed, he added:
"It's possible that someone 'wanted' him to get sick. If he's that young, he's bound to get sick."
Seeing her expression stiffen again, Yu Tingwan sneered in her heart. It seemed that many people were involved in her mother's death!
Afterwards, Yu Tingwan approached Shangshu Yu again and patted him on the shoulder. Although he was speaking in his ear, he did not lower his voice.
"Father, regarding my mother's death, if I find out that someone was behind it, I will never let that person go!"
As he spoke, he glanced in Li's direction, and his meaning was self-evident.
Looking at Shangshu Yu's relaxed forehead, Yu Tingwan's eyes gradually darkened, but after standing up straight, he did not show any abnormality.
Seeing the hatred in Yu Tingwan's eyes, Yu Shangshu was quite helpless: "I know you have resentment towards your aunt, but you shouldn't doubt her. Your aunt respects your mother the most."
"Shut up, I don't want to hear your nonsense. If you respect my mother, why would you move into my mother's courtyard right after she passed away? If you respect my mother, why would you drive her only daughter to live in the most remote courtyard in the mansion!"
Seeing that she was still angry, Minister Yu seemed to have found the fatherly love he had not felt for many years. He looked at Yu Tingwan as if he was looking at a willful and naughty child.
"Then what do you want?"
Yu Tingwan raised her head slightly, looked at Minister Yu and said, "I want her to move out of my mother's yard, and Yu Tinglin to move out of my yard as well."
"Impossible, I..."
"Father……"
Before Li and Yu Tinglin could finish their words, they were interrupted by Yu Tingwan.
"Stop talking nonsense. As concubines and concubines, you shouldn't live in the main courtyard. You have occupied the magpie's nest for so many years. Do you think you are right?"
The two were speechless. They wanted to say that of course they were right. How could you occupy such a large courtyard when you are alone and have no mother?
My mother is in charge of the household expenses in the mansion, so of course she has to live in the main courtyard. As her biological daughter, I should live with her in the main courtyard!
Although they didn't dare to say it directly, it was obvious that someone would speak for them, frowning and looking at Yu Tingwan, seeming to be very distressed.
"Tingwan, you know that your father misses your mother, so he has never married."
Yu Tingwan rolled his eyes when he heard this. It's true that he didn't marry, but he had many concubines and maids. In a house in Liuhua Lane, west of the capital, there is a mistress and she lives with your four-year-old illegitimate child!
Seeing her rolling eyes, Minister Yu choked and almost didn't know how to continue speaking. Then he sorted out his thoughts and simply didn't look at Yu Tingwan's reaction and finished speaking in one breath.
“But your Aunt Li has been managing the inner courtyard of the mansion for many years and has managed it in an orderly manner. No matter what, your father must give your Aunt face and let her live in the main courtyard, so that the servants in the mansion will be more convinced of your Aunt.
Besides, now that your mother is gone and you are married, this yard is empty anyway, so it would be better to..."
"No!"
Yu Tingwan interrupted him directly and watched him give his ultimatum.
"I didn't come back this time to listen to you telling me how hard your life is. If Li really managed the mansion well, how could she let a legitimate daughter of the mansion live like that?
Don't say that you, Lord Yu, are so busy with official duties that you don't even have time to ask about your own daughter's situation? It's really ridiculous. Can you be busier than the emperor?"
"Yu Tingwan, shut up! What are you talking about?"
Minister Yu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. If this news got out, not only would he lose his job, he might even lose his life!
Seeing his expression, Yu Tingwan snorted disdainfully, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and move! I'll give you half an hour. If you can't finish moving, I'll ask someone to do it for you!"
"You..." Li took a deep breath, slowly calmed herself down, and acted like a hostess.
"Now that the eldest lady is married, she shouldn't be concerned with her parents' affairs."
Yu Tingwan raised his eyes and looked at her, really not wanting to pay attention to her: "I'm guarding my mother's things for her, what does it have to do with you? If you keep talking nonsense, I will just smash it. Oh, by the way!"
Suddenly he remembered why he came here and turned to look at his second sister.
"Speaking of which, I have one more thing to do when I come back today."
When Yu Tinglin saw her looking at him, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately had a bad feeling.
They have only met twice since this person got married, but each time, she never heard anything nice from her mouth. I think this time she is in trouble!
