Chapter 243 Yu Jiashu kneels and begs Yu Pengze for mercy
Qin Wanying looked at Yu Jiashu and thought to herself that Yu Jiashu's looks were really striking.
She secretly compared Yu Jiashu and Qin Rufeng in her mind; both were talented and good-looking.
In terms of temperament, Qin Rufeng is more refined and gentle, while Yu Jiashu is more reserved, yet possesses a touch of heroic spirit.
Yu Jiashu is not just a scholar; he has a deep understanding of military strategy and has now joined the Ministry of War, making him both a scholar and a warrior.
Qin Wanying looked at him for a few seconds. She hadn't expected that Yu Jiashu would have some connection with her fourth brother, Qin Yunzhu.
However, this is not the time to discuss this matter.
Qin Wanying said, "Lord Yu, there will be a birthday banquet at home the day after tomorrow."
Yu Jiashu didn't know what Qin Wanying wanted to say, so he simply replied, "Yes, it's Grandfather's birthday banquet."
"Lord Yu, you must be careful. Someone in the Yu family wants to harm you," Qin Wanying said.
Yu Jiashu's expression tightened slightly.
He had actually considered this point. His stepmother and stepsister were not good people to begin with. This time, their return to the Yu family would threaten his stepsister's position as the sole heir, and they would definitely try every means to get rid of him.
He just didn't expect the Crown Princess to say these things to him.
“Don’t go near the water during the birthday banquet. Your brother will push you into the water,” Qin Wanying said. “If you survive this ordeal and point out that it was your brother who pushed you into the water, your father will definitely protect your brother, and in the end you will be accused of framing an innocent person.”
"There were many guests at the time, all of whom were high-ranking officials and dignitaries. If this charge were proven, it would greatly damage your reputation, ultimately ruining your career and causing you to die in depression," Qin Wanying continued.
Yu Jiashu's pupils contracted.
Is what the Crown Princess said true?
How could he have ruined his career and died of depression because of this?
The Crown Princess is the Divine Strategist Princess, and Yu Jiashu has no doubt about her fortune-telling abilities.
Besides, whether it's true or false can naturally be verified at the birthday banquet.
Why would the Crown Princess tell him these things?
Is it simply because he is on good terms with Confucianism?
Qin Wanying thought it would be better to explain her purpose, so that the other party would trust her more.
So she said, "I am helping Lord Yu, partly because Lord Yu is a talented person, and I don't want to see you being framed."
"On the other hand, my fifth brother is on good terms with you and admires you quite a bit." Qin Wanying glanced at Qin Rufeng, who blushed slightly.
"There is another reason: I am the Crown Princess, and I have the same goal as you."
Yu Jiashu wasn't stupid; he understood as soon as Qin Wanying explained it, but at the same time, he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
Qin Wanying is the Crown Princess. The Crown Prince and the War King are enemies, and her father is the War King's man.
Therefore, their common goal was to deal with his father, Yu Pengze.
Yu Pengze always thought he had concealed his true intentions well, but the Crown Princess still saw through them.
Is the Crown Princess capable of divination and even seeing into people's hearts?
Qin Wanying took a sip of tea and said, "If you need anything at the Yu family, you can tell my fifth brother, and he will pass it on to me."
Yu Jiashu understood.
They shared a common goal, which is why the Crown Princess was willing to help him.
Good, with the Crown Princess's help, he's not fighting alone. He feels he's one step closer to revenge.
After Qin Wanying and Yu Jiashu finished speaking, Yu Jiashu took his leave.
On the way back, he kept thinking about what Qin Wanying had said.
It seems the Crown Princess is telling the truth, since there's no reason for her to lie to him.
However, at the birthday banquet, he will be pushed into the water by his stepson.
My stepson is arrogant and domineering, and rather stupid; he certainly seems capable of doing such a thing.
It's not surprising that the father would choose to protect his stepson.
After all, he had been away from home for so many years, and in terms of father-son relationship, he was definitely closer to his stepson.
If he had to choose between the two, he would definitely choose his stepson.
He recalled what Yu Pengze had done, and his eyes grew increasingly dark.
He grew up being scorned and ridiculed. Neighboring children would mock him, throw eggs at him, and even at his mother, calling them harlots and bastards.
After he left the mansion, Yu Pengze completely ignored him.
Her mother's family had fallen on hard times and had no money. All of her dowry had been given to Yu Pengze to do business.
When he was ten years old, his mother fell seriously ill, but they had no money for treatment.
He borrowed money from all his relatives and friends, but only managed to get a little money, which was not enough to cure his mother's illness.
Left with no other choice, ten-year-old Yu Jiashu had to grit his teeth, endure the humiliation, and go to the Yu family to borrow money.
It was raining heavily that day. He knelt on the ground outside the gate of the Yu residence, the rain washing over his thin body.
After kneeling for a long time, Yu Pengze finally came out of the house, followed by his second wife, Madam Li.
They were all dressed in fine clothes, and servants held umbrellas for them.
In stark contrast, Yu Jiashu knelt in the rain, dressed in tattered clothes.
When Yu Jiashu saw his father come out, he thought he saw hope. His father's willingness to see him meant that his father was not ungrateful.
He knelt in the rain and cried out, "Father, please save my mother! She's dying, and we have no money for her medical treatment!"
Ten-year-old Yu Jiashu cried and kowtowed in the rain, his forehead splashing water as it touched the puddled ground.
"I beg you, Father, please cure my mother's illness. I will serve you like a slave!"
Yu Pengze glanced at Li Shi and said, "You bastard, you're not allowed to call me father!"
Yu Jiashu was filled with grievances, his young heart feeling as if it had been pierced by steel needles: "I am not a bastard, and my mother has no other man!"
"Still trying to argue!" Yu Pengze shouted coldly, ordering his men, "What are you all standing there for? Just throw them out!"
Upon receiving the order, the servants immediately began punching Yu Jiashu.
However, no one dared to kill him. After all, he was the eldest son, and even though he had been kicked out, no one dared to really hit him.
Yu Jiashu ran off yelling.
After returning home, ten-year-old Yu Jiashu dried himself off, changed his clothes, and went to his mother's bedside.
"Son, why is your hair so wet?" Wang said weakly, raising her hand to stroke Yu Jiashu's wet hair.
"It's nothing, Mother. It's raining outside, so I went out to collect the laundry."
"Don't worry, the doctor said you'll be better soon," Yu Jiashu comforted his mother, holding her hand.
Wang looked somber.
You know your own body best; it's not that easy to get better.
After the weather cleared up, Yu Jiashu helped his mother out to bask in the sun and stroll around the neighborhood.
He knew his mother's illness was incurable. All he could do was help her live out her remaining days in good health.
That day, Yu Jiashu saw a child walking towards him, about the same age as him.
He was exceptionally good-looking, but his expression was aloof, and he didn't look like a child.
The man was carrying a medicine box and glanced at his mother for a while with a detached expression.
He stopped.
"Is this lady weak and feeble, with fluctuating body temperature and chest pains at midnight?" the child asked.
