Chapter 119 I never expected our Yaoyao to have such lofty ambitions!
Yu Ningyao: ...
Oh wow, that's a really good question.
Fortunately, everyone in the third branch of the Yu family had a very high opinion of her and never doubted her.
I just felt that she was naturally precocious.
Yu Kangjing, in particular, felt that the child he had taken in should be like him, and that he was smart from a young age!
I've bragged about her countless times already.
Moreover, Yu Ziheng and Yu Zicong are unaware of the three children from the third wife's family, but Yu Ziying has a strong talent for arithmetic; when she uses an abacus, she doesn't seem like a four or five-year-old child.
With such a smart older brother leading the way, Yu Ningyao felt that it wouldn't be a problem if she was smart too.
Lost in thought, Zhao Yining spoke up: "Yaoyao, you still haven't explained why women should go into business."
“You can make money by doing business. Once you have money, you can do a lot of things,” Yu Ningyao replied with a smile.
"When I grow up and earn money, I will buy my mother a big house, hire more than a dozen maids for her, two to massage her legs, two to rub her shoulders, and someone to sing for her. I will even feed my mother her food."
"Second Aunt, do you think it's necessary to have money?"
Shen Jinzhu was amused by her childish words and laughed until she cried.
"Your mother's love for you is well-deserved; you're such a filial child." Zhao Yining smiled at her.
"Then what do 'from the heart' and 'join the army' mean? Women can't join the army."
"Following your heart means doing what you think in your heart, and never letting others' words sway you," Yu Ningyao explained earnestly.
"For example, if I want to eat a big chicken leg tonight, and the myna bird says to eat steamed fish, I will definitely follow my heart, because I only want to eat chicken legs."
The two men were amused by her and exclaimed in unison, "There's also joining the army?"
Yu Ningyao: "My father reads to me every night before bed. He once told me a story about a woman who took her father's place in the army. That woman eventually became a great general. How impressive!"
"If you want to become an official, you have to join the army."
Zhao Yining chuckled, "I never imagined that our Yaoyao had such lofty ambitions."
Shen Jinzhu said worriedly, "My dear, we don't need you to join the army. Let your father work on becoming an officer."
“Alright, then I’ll supervise Father’s reading tonight!” Yu Ningyao nodded emphatically.
Zhao Yining looked at the lively Yu Ningyao and laughed so hard that her wounds started to hurt.
She continued, "Yaoyao, what did you mean by those four things you mentioned earlier, like 'cannot bear to' and 'must be willing to give up'?"
Yu Ningyao was very glad that Yu Kangjing had heard her mother's message last night. He thought that she didn't want to get married in the future and was afraid that she would go astray. He kept nagging her for a long time.
She can copy it exactly now.
So she replied in her childish voice, "Father said that girls are all treasures, and they can't be scolded or hit. They have to be held in the palm of your hand and protected."
"Even if you're married, you don't have to swallow your anger. If you can't stand it, go home and ask your parents for help."
"You must be willing to let go of those who treat you badly."
"You have to be willing to let go of those who treat you badly," Zhao Yining repeated.
In an instant, the white mist that had been blocking her view vanished.
Yes, Yu Kangnian treats her badly, why doesn't she just leave him?
Even after the divorce, she could support herself with the shops that came with her dowry.
"Third sister-in-law, please help me." She suddenly grasped Shen Jinzhu's hands, her eyes blazing with anger.
They are all expectations for the future.
“Okay, Second Sister-in-law, I will do my best.” Shen Jinzhu nodded emphatically.
Her daughter's words gave her a lot of new ideas.
She always felt that going into business was bad, and that she couldn't let Ziying get involved in it in the future.
But now it seems that if Ziying has no talent or interest in studying, it would be better to let him try business.
Even if they ultimately fail, their parents can still support them.
She should start working harder too.
She had to find ways to improve the business of the shops she owned, even those with only average profits.
……
Yu Kangping was in his study sorting out the suspicious points surrounding his parents' deaths.
Although his mother committed suicide by swallowing gold, he still vividly remembered the image of the little girl from the third branch of the family possessing him in the funeral hall.
He felt that there might be something suspicious about this matter.
At the time, he and his father were too angry, feeling that his mother was immoral and had brought shame to the Marquis's mansion, so they didn't investigate the matter thoroughly.
Looking back now, I realize that the adulterer must have had the help of someone he knew to escape from the Marquis's mansion.
The prime suspect in the father's death was Donghe, the maidservant who served Cui Ruixin.
He just couldn't let his second and third sons know about this.
After all, no matter what, it was the bowl of porridge that Ziyuan brought that killed his father.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to have Donghe secretly kidnapped and tortured until she told the truth.
As for Cui Ruixin's room, he didn't want to step into it at all.
She experienced all the symptoms of a pregnant woman during her ten months of pregnancy, but in the end, she didn't give birth to anything.
this is too scary.
She has a bit of an evil aura about her.
He would absolutely not go to Cui Ruixin until the matter was resolved.
If he can get Donghe to confess and insist that Cui Ruixin is the real culprit, then he can divorce his wife.
Yu Kangping had a well-thought-out plan, but it was interrupted by a servant who came to deliver the message.
"My lord, please save the third young master! He's about to be beaten to death by the second master!!!"
"What?" Yu Kangping was furious when he heard this.
After the second wife returned to Beijing, she never had a moment's peace.
"Why didn't you let the Second Madam try to persuade her?" he said irritably.
The servant, with a mournful face, said, "The Second Madam fainted after being shocked by what she heard. The Third Madam is taking care of her."
Upon hearing this, Yu Kangping knew that he was the only one who could handle this matter.
He stormed off to the second wife's courtyard.
Unexpectedly, Yu Kangnian was still fighting.
"Stop!" He stepped forward with a stern face, snatched the branch from Yu Kangnian's hand, and threw it on the ground.
"You first beat your wife, and now you're beating your son. Are you going to come and beat up your older brother tomorrow?!"
"No, brother, it's because Lie'er talked back and disrespected me as his father, so I thought of teaching him a lesson," Yu Kangnian quickly explained.
"Besides, this branch is only about two fingers thick. Hitting him will just teach him a lesson; it won't really cause any trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zilie, who had been standing ramrod straight, suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Fortunately, Yu Kangping reacted quickly and caught him.
"This is what you meant by 'no trouble'???"
Enraged, Yu Kangping grabbed a tree branch and lashed him twice with it.
After handing Yu Zilie over to the servants to take away, he looked at Yu Kangnian with a cold face: "From today onwards, you will kneel in front of your father's coffin and guard it, and you are not allowed to leave even for a moment. You may come back after the seventh day after your father's death."
Hearing this, Consort Rong couldn't help but step forward to plead, "My lord, isn't this a bit too harsh..."
"You mean he, as a son, shouldn't keep vigil for his father?" Yu Kangping glanced at her sharply.
