Chapter 115 The legitimate daughter whose engagement was broken off 12
Chu Ziyu grew up under the shadow of his older brother Chu Zisu.
Chu Zisu is knowledgeable, handsome, and has an extraordinary temperament. He is also a leader among the noblemen in the capital. In comparison, Chu Ziyu, who has average knowledge, average looks, and nothing outstanding, becomes a background board and a little transparent in the family compared to his elder brother.
Chu Ziyu saw that his classmates and friends were the youngest sons in the mansion and were favored, but in the Prince's Mansion, he was always the one who was ignored.
The prince and princess have always been proud of their eldest son, while the youngest son is often described by them as naughty, disobedient and ignorant.
From childhood to adulthood, what Chu Ziyu heard the most was that when others praised the prince and his wife for their good parenting, they would say that their little son was so troublesome and ignorant, and that he never made them worry at all.
This made Chu Ziyu, who had never been valued, more and more extreme. He deliberately got into trouble in order to attract the attention of his father and mother. However, every time he was beaten severely and scolded as a rebellious son, he did not receive any love at all.
So he gradually became indifferent to this family and these so-called relatives. Now that his eldest brother Chu Zisu was in trouble and had such a bad reputation, the whole family still revolved around him. All the good things belonged to him, and he seemed to not exist. The more Chu Ziyu thought about it, the more he hated him.
Haha, his good elder brother deserved this fate. Others may not know, but he knew that he was a two-faced villain. When he was a child, he was bullied by Chu Zisu. He always beat him severely in places where the prince and princess could not see, deliberately broke things to slander him, watched him being severely beaten by his father according to the family rules, and then came to the ancestral hall to watch him kneeling there with injuries as punishment.
When he was a child, Chu Zisu always ridiculed him for why he was born, saying that he had snatched his father and mother away. However, Chu Ziyu knew that he had not received any care and love from the Prince and his wife, and he did not want to be born in the Prince's Mansion. If he had a choice, he would have wished to be born in an ordinary family, at least to grow up under the protection and care of his father and mother.
Although Chu Ziyu is still young, his resentment towards Chu Zisu and the Prince and his wife is already deep-rooted. Looking at Chu Zisu's current situation, he feels very gloating in his heart, thinking that Chu Zisu deserves to fall from the clouds to the quagmire.
But he didn't expect that even so, Chu Zisu could still get the love of the Prince and Princess.
He felt more and more resentful, and he was determined to make Chu Zisu lose everything.
Chu Ziyu began to plan to cause trouble quietly.
It was also the original owner's fifteenth birthday. Si Ying did not hold a grand celebration in the capital like the original owner did in her previous life. Instead, she told Lord Zhao that she was going to Yuzhou in the south where the original owner's mother was recuperating.
Lord Zhao did not expect that his daughter would take the initiative to ask to go to Yuzhou, because his wife, Zhao, had no choice but to go to Yuzhou to seek for a miracle doctor to treat her illness, and left when the original owner was very young. Therefore, the original owner felt in her young heart that her mother had abandoned her, so even when she grew up and explained to her, the relationship between mother and daughter still did not ease. Zhao could not come back, and the original owner never took the initiative to visit her.
In the past, whenever Lord Zhao went to Yuzhou to visit his wife, the original owner was determined not to go, and when Lord Zhao became impatient, she would lock herself in her room and never come out again.
Over time, the mother and daughter did not see each other for many years.
The original owner felt abandoned by her mother when she was a child. Later, when she understood everything, she had grown up and no longer needed her mother's protection. She had become accustomed to living with Lord Zhao and didn't know how to face her biological mother, Zhao.
It was not until later that the original owner was severely beaten by Chu Zisu and fell into a coma, and Zhao came back to take care of her daughter personally. Only then did the mother and daughter truly reconcile and gradually regain the family affection they had missed all those years.
Now Si Ying was going to visit Zhao and hold her coming-of-age ceremony beside her. Lord Zhao was so happy that he almost cried for joy. He felt that his daughter had really grown up and become sensible this time.
So he quickly asked for leave from the emperor, handed over the task to a capable subordinate, and then hurriedly set off for Yuzhou with Si Ying.
He had sent a letter to Zhao as quickly as possible, saying that his daughter wanted to go see her.
Zhao, who was recuperating in Yuzhou, saw the expedited letter, opened it and read the contents. She was so happy that she couldn't help but burst into tears. Her daughter was finally willing to forgive her. After so many years, she could finally see her precious daughter whom she missed day and night.
Zhao was unable to return to the north due to her illness. She had no choice but to save the pregnant princess. It was not only two lives that were at stake, but also her brother's wife and children. The princess married into their family, and they became a family. How could she just stand by and watch? So although she was sad over the years, she would not regret it.
However, she originally thought that she and her daughter would become a regret forever, but she did not expect that her daughter would actually come to see her and want to celebrate her coming-of-age ceremony here, so she must prepare well and give her daughter a grand ceremony.
Soon, with Lord Zhao and Si Ying's day and night travel and Madam Zhao's day and night anticipation, Si Ying and his party finally arrived in Yuzhou.
This is indeed a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, suitable for health preservation. The spiritual power in the air is more than that in the capital. Although it is not enough for cultivation, it can also strengthen the body of those who inhale it.
Si Ying and the others arrived at Madam Zhao's residence. Madam Zhao had been waiting there long ago. She had been waiting for an hour. Her inner anticipation and expectation had made her unable to pay attention to her numb legs.
Finally, Si Ying's carriage stopped at the door. Lord Zhao got off the horse, and Si Ying came out of the carriage, helped by her maid.
Mrs. Zhao hurried forward and wanted to help her daughter out of the carriage herself, but because she had been standing for too long, her feet were numb, and in her anxiety she staggered and almost fell.
Fortunately, the maid beside her supported her and helped her stagger towards the carriage.
Si Ying had already gotten off the carriage. She looked up and saw Madam Zhao running towards her with a face full of joy. She walked forward with a smile, took Madam Zhao's arm from the maid, and led her towards the mansion.
Mrs. Zhao's mind was confused at the moment, and her steps were a little unsteady. She felt that being supported by her daughter like this was just like a dream. She had a lot to say, but she didn't dare to say it. She was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, this beautiful dream would end.
"Mom, you are still as beautiful as in my memory, you haven't changed at all! I can recognize you at once~" Si Ying said while holding Zhao's arm.
When Mrs. Zhao heard her daughter's intimate words, the worry and fear buried in her heart disappeared without a trace in an instant. She looked at the young girl who was holding her arm. When she left, she was not even as tall as her waist, but now she was as tall as her.
Her daughter has grown into a big girl.
Zhao felt both happy and sad. The group finally entered the mansion and arrived at the main hall, where the family of three could finally sit down and talk for a while.
