Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Li Junze frowned in confusion. What happened to his mother today? Why was she suddenly so cold to him?

He looked back at Wang Yuyan's return home this time. The items and people she brought on the sedan were completely different from her usual routine. Today she was traveling in simple attire, only bringing Aunt Qimeng and two little eunuchs.

Although he said he was attending to the sick, there were no gifts or supplements in the sedan chair.

Could it be that after my mother was demoted to Yu Zhaoyi, her situation became much worse than before, so she developed emotions towards Wang Zhuo and myself?

Without time to think about it, he could only follow them into the living room.

When Wang Yuyan saw Wang Zhuo's current appearance for the first time after entering the room, his heart trembled and tears fell.

"Father, father, what's wrong with you, father..." Wang Yuyan called Wang Zhuo while walking to Wang Zhuo's bedside.

At this time, Wang Yucheng, who was busy packing, also heard the news that his sister had returned home and hurried over.

Seeing Wang Zhuo's appearance on the bed, he was also surprised, "What's wrong? I...wasn't this the same when I saw my father earlier?"

However, the moment Wang Yuyan saw Wang Yucheng, his emotions exploded, and he turned around and hugged Wang Yucheng.

"Brother, brother, I miss you and mother so much, brother, uh uh..."

Wang Yucheng didn't bother to look at Wang Zhuo again. He gently hugged Wang Yuyan and patted his back a few times. Then he remembered that things were no longer the same as before and this was particularly inappropriate, so he led Wang Yuyan to sit on the chair.

"Sister, why would the emperor allow you to return home? Did something happen?"

Wang Yucheng asked nervously.

Wang Yuyan glanced at him, then at Wang Zhuo who was lying on the couch, gritted his teeth, and controlled his emotions before saying, "We are disturbing our father's rest here, let's go to your study."

Wang Yucheng nodded. Feeling vaguely uneasy, he walked out the door with Wang Yuyan.

Wang Yuyan turned around and looked at Wang Zhuo again, then said to Li Junze, "You guys just wait here first."

Then without any further explanation, he followed Wang Yucheng out the door.

Li Junze, Ji Ping and Hu Ziping were left staring at each other.

He never expected that Yu Zhaoyi would have such a reaction after returning home. Even the tears she shed when she was unconscious just now made Li Junze feel a little confused.

He even caught a glimpse of annoyance in Wang Yuyan's eyes. Could it be that he knew his true identity?

It's impossible, there's no way they would know. If Wang Zhuo doesn't tell me this secret, no one else would know it.

She must have thought that her demotion was caused by herself, which is why she reacted like that.

However, in Wang Yucheng's study, Wang Yuyan hugged his brother and cried for a long time.

Wang Yucheng felt even more flustered when he heard his sister was so sad. He didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only ask softly,

"Yan'er, what happened? Tell me why you are so sad."

The two siblings have had a deep relationship since childhood, and Wang Yucheng treats Wang Yuyan like a baby. Now seeing him like this, his heart is broken.

Wang Yuyan had obviously cried before returning home, so her current state was very bad, which was very different from what we usually see her in.

Not only did he look sad, but his entire complexion also looked haggard.

However, no matter how he asked, Wang Yuyan just cried and didn't say a word to him.

Wang Yucheng was so anxious that he had to pace back and forth in the study, constantly asking, "Did you get bullied in the palace? Tell your brother, and I'll let father's students vent your anger for you."

Wang Yuyan still shook his head, so Wang Yucheng started asking again, "Did the emperor bully you? Did he scold you?"

He had no idea of ​​the emperor's current situation, so he could only make such a guess.

Wang Yuyan still shook his head, but he restrained his emotions a little, "Brother, father...has caused me so much pain..."

Wang Yucheng was stunned. He didn't expect that his sister was so sad because of his father.

"What's wrong with him? What did he do?" Wang Yucheng asked anxiously.

Wang Yuyan wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said with a sob, "He he...he..."

However, after she said the word "he" several times, she just couldn't bring herself to say the rest.

Wang Yucheng was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to rush her too much. He sat next to his sister in an extremely irritable state and punched the corner of the table next to him.

Wang Yuyan finally made up his mind and said to his brother, "Father has replaced my Ze'er..."

"What?" Wang Yucheng was shocked and almost cried out.

"How could this happen? How did you know?"

Wang Yuyan then told Wang Yucheng everything the emperor said to him when he called him over before he fell into a coma that day.

"The Emperor has asked the imperial physician to help him with the blood test to confirm his relationship with Ze'er. The current Li Junze is not the Emperor's child at all."

Wang Yucheng sat down on the stool. If it weren't for what happened before, his first feeling after hearing this sentence would be that his sister had committed adultery. But seeing his sister's behavior, how could he not understand.

"No wonder, no wonder father has been deliberately cultivating Ze'er all these years. It turns out... that's not right. Ze'er is not your child. Why did he deliberately cultivate him?"

Wang Yucheng didn't understand it at first, but he was actually not stupid. He didn't want to get involved in official circles, so he pretended to be a dandy.

Soon he had his own guess, "Could Ze'er be the illegitimate child of him and that woman outside?"

When their mother was still alive, she once mentioned that woman to them, saying that she was a woman who had been hidden outside by their father for many years. However, she asked many people for help but was unable to investigate the woman's background.

Later, my mother had several quarrels with my father because of this matter, but my father never admitted it.

Not long after that, my mother's health became worse and worse, and she finally let it go. Since my father was still treating her and her son the same as before and had not taken a concubine into the house, she left it to him.

But now that I think about it, it seems that my sister was really pregnant and about to give birth. My father was a little distracted and drank all day long.

When his father was drunk, he once heard him mutter to himself, "Why did you leave like this? It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
