The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

Yuan Yu rode his horse all the way home.

There were lanterns lighting up the front of Yuan's house, making the bluestone floor tiles in front appear transparent.

The floor tiles are cleaned by a special person every day. They are very clean. It is no exaggeration to say that they are bright enough to reflect the light.

Someone heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, looked outside, and saw Yuan Yu's figure. Someone immediately shouted behind him: "Second Master is back, Second Master is back!"

Yuan Yu rode his horse very fast.

By the time the gatekeeper's servant came out to greet him, he had already arrived at the door of his house on horseback.

He heard what they were shouting from a distance, and he said with a smile: "What are you yelling about? If you don't know, you would think I haven't been back for a long time."

"hey-hey."

Yuan Yu was a humble person, not as majestic as his elder brother Yuan Ci, and even his servants dared to joke with him.

"You haven't been home for a while, haven't you? Madam has said that if you don't come back, she will go to the palace to arrest you."

Yuan Yu laughed loudly, patted the servant's shoulder and said loudly: "Don't worry, I will come back every day from now on."

He was obviously in a good mood. After he finished speaking, without waiting for the servant to ask, he casually threw the whip to the man, picked up the bag of cakes, hummed a little tune, and strode in.

The servant stared at his departing figure in amazement and said, "I haven't seen Second Master so happy in a long time."

After Yuan Yu entered, he asked the servants where his mother was.

He must thank his mother very much!

If it weren't for his mother's insistence, he and Xu Zhaojun would probably have never been destined to be together.

Upon learning that his mother and his elder brother were still eating in the main room, Yuan Yu immediately went over with a smile.

There is still an old master in the Yuan Mansion, and then there is Yuan Yu's family.

The old man likes quietness. He usually stays in a corner, eats and drinks by himself, and rarely eats with the whole family.

Mrs. Yuan had nothing to do at home. If the three grandfathers were busy and couldn't come back for dinner, she would take her granddaughter out for dinner. If they said they wanted to come for dinner, she would wait for them.

It just so happens that today, Yuan Hun and Yuan Ci, father and son, are both free, and the Yuan family only has dinner at this time.

When Yuan Yu went over there, his father had already finished eating and left, leaving only his eldest brother and his little niece with his mother.

Obviously.

The news of his return was just passed on by the swift-footed ear-reporter.

Almost as soon as Yuan Yu responded to the servants' greetings and went in, his mother's sarcastic voice came from inside: "Hey, whose distinguished guest is this? He looks a little unfamiliar."

Yuan Ci glanced at his younger brother and said nothing.

Yuan Huanhuan smiled and got off the chair, rushing towards Yuan Yu: "Second Uncle, you're back!"

The two brothers in the Yuan family have a very good relationship and there is no quarrel between them.

Compared to her stern and taciturn father, Yuan Huanhuan prefers to play with her second uncle!

Her second uncle would take her to fly high, unlike her father who would just ask her to eat obediently.

"Oh, our Huanhuan has grown taller again?" After Yuan Yu said this, he picked up the little girl who was in front of him and held her in his arms.

"Big brother."

After saying hello to his elder brother.

Yuan Yu looked at the noble lady who was sitting beside him with a cold and unhappy face. He knew that his mother was still angry. Yuan Yu smiled and patted his little niece's arm.

Although Yuan Huanhuan is young, she is very smart.

Knowing that his second uncle was going to coax his grandmother, he immediately went down the slope.

"Mom, look what good things I bought for you?" Yuan Yu said as he walked towards Mrs. Yuan.

Mrs. Yuan had seen what he was holding a long time ago. The paper package had "Chen Ji" written on it, and the aroma of sesame seeds wafted over with the wind. How could she not know what it was?

But she still snorted coldly: "Don't think that I will let you go just because you give me a little favor."

The more he talked, the angrier he became.

Madam Yuan waited for Yuan Yu to approach and flattered him. She couldn't help but pat his arm with her hand: "How many times has this happened? If Zhaojun wasn't good-tempered and a good child who was considerate of others, if it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have quarreled with you a long time ago!"

"I'm telling you, Yuan Yu, if you ever—"

Before Madam Yuan finished her words, Yuan Yu took the lead to assure her: "Mother, don't worry, your son will never do this again."

As soon as these words came out.

Mrs. Yuan's words were interrupted.

Yuan Ci also glanced at Yuan Yu, but just a glance and he didn't say anything.

He caught a glimpse of his daughter out of the corner of his eye, and secretly picked out the vegetables he didn't like and put them aside. He lowered his eyes, took his hand, and tapped the table twice.

"Yuan Huanhuan."

Although no one was mentioned specifically, Yuan Huanhuan still shuddered.

"Father..."

She raised her head and called for help pitifully.

Seeing that Yuan Ci was unmoved, Yuan Huanhuan hurried to see her grandmother again. Unfortunately, her grandmother was still talking to her second uncle and did not see her pitiful appearance. She could only pick up the vegetables back with grievance and started to eat them with a tasteless taste.

"Are you serious?"

Mrs. Yuan asked Yuan Yu, with obvious suspicion in her eyes, and it was obvious that she did not believe what Yuan Yu said.

"More real than pearls."

Yuan Yu put the cakes in his hand aside and asked someone to clean them up first. He then sat next to Madam Yuan and told her an old story: "Mother, do you still remember when I was injured three years ago?"

When Mrs. Yuan heard him say this, her face turned a little unhappy.

How could she forget?

Since her youngest son entered the Dali Temple, he has been investigating some important cases.

Three years ago, he was targeted because he touched someone else's cakes while investigating a case. His followers were beaten back and he himself was injured and disappeared.

If he hadn't woken up the next day and asked someone to bring her a message, she would probably have gone to the palace to beg the Queen Mother for help.

Unexpectedly, he would suddenly bring up the past. Mrs. Yuan was very surprised. She asked Yuan Yu: "Why did you suddenly bring up this?"

Yuan Ci also looked over.

Yuan Yu did not hide it and said, "Actually, it was a girl who saved me that day."

Yuan Ci had known about this for a long time. He also knew that his brother had been secretly looking for someone over the years, and had been unwilling to get married before because of this savior.

but--

Just wondering why he suddenly mentioned this, Yuan Ci thought about it and guessed something. He didn't say anything, but continued to look away, staring at his daughter who didn't like to eat vegetables while she ate.

"A girl?"

Mrs. Yuan was also surprised.

This was the first time she had heard of this matter.

But seeing the young man beside her smiling with bright eyes, she became a little worried: "Second brother, you won't do anything treacherous, will you? I'm telling you, our family and the Xu family have already been engaged. If you do anything now, it will be Zhaojun's death!"

She really likes Xu Zhaojun.

At first, she was satisfied with her character and abilities and felt that she was suitable to be her daughter-in-law.

But after spending more time together, she liked Xu Zhaojun more and more.

If her son did something inappropriate for that woman, she -

"Oh, my dear mother, is this how I am in your heart?" Yuan Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He put his arm around Madam Yuan's shoulders and stopped hiding his feelings. Instead, he smiled and said to everyone, "The person who saved me was the Miss Xu you had chosen for me."

"I only found out about this when I saw her today."

Just then, a servant came over with a plate of pastries. He raised his chin and said, "Here, this was bought for you by Miss Xu."

Mrs. Yuan was stunned by what he said.

"Have you seen it?"

Yuan Yu hummed, looking very happy and contented.

Mrs. Yuan also swept away her previous confusion and stood up happily: "How could such a coincidence happen in this world!"

She clenched her fist and knocked her palm, as overjoyed as Yuan Yu when he first found out.

She only glanced at Yuan Yu's happy look, and pulled his ear in annoyance: "Who was unwilling to marry you in the first place? I said all the good and bad things, but I never saw you go to Xu's house. Now you know how good Zhaojun is."

When talking about this matter, Yuan Yu felt a little embarrassed.

He coughed lightly and begged for mercy, "Mom, please stop slandering your son." He was also afraid that Xu Zhaojun would know, so he said, "Please don't tell her about these things, otherwise my son will have no status in her heart at all."

Madam Yuan snorted softly, looking as if she was watching Yuan Yu's performance.

But I was happy in my heart.

The eldest son got married at the behest of his family. Although he and his deceased eldest daughter-in-law treated each other with respect, something was missing.

I thought my younger son would follow his elder brother's path, but I didn't expect that there would be such a bright future! Mrs. Yuan felt that she needed to burn some incense for the Buddha.

"That's great. Come with me to visit the Xu family tomorrow." Before, her son had been missing for a long time, so she was embarrassed to go over.

Now she can finally go to her future in-laws' house and have a good visit.

Yuan Yu was about to agree, but then he thought of something and said, "Not tomorrow."

When Mrs. Yuan heard this, she was a little unhappy: "What are you doing? Aren't you going to rest tomorrow?"

Yuan Yu explained: "Ms. Xu will go to the Princess Residence to visit Princess Changle tomorrow."

"Princess Changle?"

Mrs. Yuan was stunned.

I have heard from Zhaojun that she has a good relationship with Princess Changle, but... Madam Yuan looked at Yuan Yu and asked curiously, "Why are we going to the Princess's residence? Doesn't the Princess live in the Marquis's residence?"

This was originally someone else's family affair, and it was not appropriate for Yuan Yu, a grown man, to comment on other people's faults.

But when I think about how excessive the Ming family’s actions were.

He felt that he still needed to remind his mother.

Yuan Yu told his mother what had happened in the Marquis' Mansion.

"This is simply unreasonable!"

Mrs. Yuan was a straightforward person and she got angry after hearing this.

Yuan Ci, who had been sitting silently on the side, frowned after listening. He did not expect that the Anyuan Marquis Mansion would be so brainless.

"I knew that the wife of Marquis Anyuan was a fool who would even mistake her own child. But I didn't expect that Marquis Anyuan, who looked like a good person, was actually a bastard. For a little profit, he even ignored his own family. What a bastard!"

Mrs. Yuan was extremely angry.

Yuan Yu said: "We can just talk about this in private. After all, there is an eldest princess in the Marquis' Mansion. They don't want to make a big fuss, so it's not easy for us to say anything."

Although Mrs. Yuan is straightforward, she is not stupid.

Of course, he would not rush to do such a thing, but thinking of the Princess Changle who had just returned home, he could not help but sigh: "This poor child, I don't know what to do in the future."

Seeing that his mother was worried, Yuan Yu was not worried at all. With Gu Mingheng around, what could go wrong for her?

However, those who provoke her will have a hard time in the future.

But of course it was difficult for him to say this.

"Daddy?"

Yuan Huanhuan didn't understand what they were saying and continued to eat.

She really couldn't eat any more. Just when she was about to look up and ask her father if she could not eat, she saw that her father looked in a trance for some reason.

She gently tugged at Yuan Ci's sleeve.

When Yuan Ci lowered his eyes and looked over, Yuan Huanhuan asked, "Dad, what were you thinking about just now?"

Yuan Ci said succinctly: "Nothing."

He just suddenly remembered the purple-dressed woman on the pleasure boat that day.

Although they didn't talk much that day, they did meet once after all. Thinking of her bright and beautiful face smiling under the fireworks that day, Yuan Ci just felt that she shouldn't have such a miserable life.
