Chapter 403 Caring about His Mother
Gongshu Liang clutched his throat, gurgling incoherently. He sheathed his sword and said, "No one can hurt my sister."
Tu Jun hadn't expected that Su Fengling was the only one among them who was truly devoted to love.
Hatred arose because of her, and it also vanished because of her.
As expected, the former divided the world, while the latter divided the beauties.
Those who possess the beauty of the world and rule the world are essentially the ones who own the world.
The hatred of those outsiders is ultimately less real than that of those within their own realm.
He was somewhat looking forward to seeing what kind of dark secret Yan Ruoyu, who was so meticulous in every aspect, was hiding.
It was a vermilion gate, with many servants standing beside it, but their expressions were unpredictable.
Yan Ruoyu simply looked up at the sky in the four corners of the sky.
I can't remember anything, I'm just studying here day after day.
"Have you heard? Queen Jade is not from a prominent family, but the Demon Lord still made her his queen."
“I’ve heard about it, but we servants can’t gossip like that. I heard he’s not even from the Zheng clan.”
Every day, Yan Ruoyu would hear these few incomplete and speculative words.
Now, he can't even see his mother and father more than a few times a year.
They were all grooming him to be their successor, and he certainly lived up to their expectations.
He also longs for a playmate, someone to talk to.
"Why do you think the Demon Lord hasn't taken any new concubines? He only has one child, Young Master Ruoyu."
"Hush, how dare you say such things while working for the young master in his courtyard?"
The servant quickly covered his mouth, looking at Yan Ruoyu to see if she had heard.
A few days later, when he tried to go out, he was stopped by the guards at the gate.
"Young Master, the Demon Lord has instructed you not to leave the house for the time being."
He didn't even know how long "temporary" meant; it felt like many years had passed, and he hadn't left this place.
“If my lord and father do not like me, then send someone to escort me outside. If my lord and father like me, then why are you stopping me from going out today?”
The guard was momentarily at a loss for words when his young child asked such a question.
"If you step aside, no crime will be pinned on you."
Yan Ruoyu stood there, one hand in front of her chest and the other behind her back.
He could occasionally hear the sounds of other Pontoon brothers playing and laughing outside.
He could even hear the voices of his cousins.
He was just a caged bird, never able to fly out. Was the sky round or square?
"Young master, please don't make things difficult for us."
Yan Ruoyu frowned, determined to break out.
A graceful figure approached from afar, looking elegant and poised, though a look of worry lingered between her brows.
He could hardly recognize the face anymore; oh... it seemed to be his mother.
How cruel! How many years have passed before you finally come to see him? Is he some kind of unclean person?
"Ruoyu".
Her voice trembled slightly, her eyes were filled with tears, and her lips were shaking uncontrollably.
Ultimately, we are connected by blood and cannot be separated.
"I am Yu'er..." A sob escaped her lips, but she stood not too far from him and did not approach.
Was Yan Ruoyu thinking that her mother was unhappy?
Why are you weeping here with such a sorrowful face?
"Mother, why are you crying?"
Although he asked the question, he could already guess what it meant.
It was probably because the rumors and gossip in the imperial court put too much pressure on his mother.
If all these people disappeared, his mother's troubles would also disappear, and his father wouldn't have avoided him for so long.
Why can't these people disappear?
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly turned cold as he looked at the maid who had been following him.
He tilted his head and smiled slightly at the maid: "Go and invite Mother in."
The maid standing next to him was stunned. He was standing right there, why did she need to go and invite him?
Why aren't you moving? Are you too scared to go?
"Your Majesty...please come into the courtyard."
The maid felt that Yan Ruoyu was unusually cautious today.
“Mother, you look very tired. Why don’t you rest in the courtyard for a while and have a cup of tea before you go?”
Yue Yulan simply shook her head. Although she held the title of Queen in this imperial court, she could hardly move an inch.
She couldn't bring any negative influence to Yan Ruoyu.
"It's nothing, I just happened to be passing by and stopped by to see you."
Yan Ruoyu said with a touch of cold self-deprecation, "The distance from the back courtyard to my residence is truly long."
"Is it so far that it will take hundreds of years to get there?"
These words sounded so harsh and sarcastic, and his eyes were full of disappointment.
When Yue Yulan heard Yan Ruoyu say those words, she felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.
He just thought that he didn't understand why she did this.
It was both to protect him and to protect herself.
She was invited to the hospital, but she ultimately passed by the door without entering, standing just across the doorway, gazing at it from afar.
Yan Ruoyu could somewhat discern the emotions in his mother's eyes, but he didn't want to understand them.
"If Mother is unwilling to come in, then she should not come in the future."
After saying this, he cupped his hands in a respectful greeting, turned around, and slammed the door shut.
Yue Yulan stood there, her heart filled with disappointment.
Why wouldn't I want a normal life for my family of three?
But her husband had already endured too much for her, and risked all the dangers of Dongmo Mountain to make her his queen.
She cannot do anything out of line before everything has settled down.
But she still walked to the door: "Ruoyu, I hope you can understand me and your father."
There was no response from the person inside.
It wasn't that he didn't understand the two of them, but rather that he hated everyone who was unwilling to allow them to be a family of three.
Why is it so difficult to live an ordinary life?
Wait until Yue Yulan walks far away.
His eyes suddenly turned to the servants in the courtyard, and his voice became unusually fierce: "All of you, come here and kneel down!"
Why is this gentleman, who is usually as gentle as jade, suddenly so furious today?
But he was still the master, and they couldn't disobey him.
They all knelt in the courtyard, and he stood in front of them, saying, "Tell me what you all usually say again."
The servants looked at each other, but it was just a pastime while they were working, and they meant no harm.
"Young Master?"
"I'm telling you, repeat all the things you usually say!"
Yan Ruoyu couldn't possibly have acted without a reason; his endless hatred began in his courtyard.
The stick in his hand struck the servants hard, and cries of pain rang out, followed by countless pleas for mercy.
The young master Ruoyu in front of me has gone mad; he's treating human life like dirt.
Tu Jun found it boring and even wanted to see more cruel scenes, but despite his great compassion, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.
His hatred for Dongmo Mountain was entirely imposed on him step by step by others.
It seems he still harbors some resentment about his father and mother.
We should stop this as soon as possible; we can't let him completely lose his composure—he's a key figure.
