Yue Yang and Yue Bing hurried home.
Along the way, Yue Yang thought about the happy occasion and thought that maybe the Yue Clan had organized another marriage for him. Or perhaps it was Yue Bing. Did someone ask for her hand? Otherwise, could it be Yue Shuang, the little girl? Did someone actually ask for her hand? Never would Yue Yang thought that…he had completely guessed wrongly.
Back at home, as they entered the Main Hall, he saw five to six female servants surrounding the beautiful woman. They were all telling her something, every single one of them talking at once.
There were also some Yue Clan’s Guards that had tall and sturdy bodies, and a middle-aged man with white flawless skin, who was sitting arrogantly in front of a table, drinking his tea. The old servant Uncle Nan and the others were waiting upon him very carefully. Yue Yang saw that the beautiful woman’s eyes were red with tears. She hugged the little girl tightly, shaking her head continuously as if she was opposing something. However, she didn’t vocally dispute the other women out loud.
The little girl who was usually extremely mischievous, was shrinking her body inside the beautiful woman’s embrace instead; a look of terror filled her eyes.
The moment they saw Yue Bing and Yue Yang charging inside, those female servants quieted down one by one.
The beautiful woman’s expressions slightly changed, looking a little emotional, but it seemed like she was suppressing her feelings down, unwilling to reveal her emotions. Her body trembled as she slowly stood up, her eyes showing an indescribable glow of happiness. There was also a look of relief, as if she had put down a huge burden in her mind.
Her son and daughter had come home.
They had finally returned home, safe and sound.
If it was a normal day, she would definitely hug her son and daughter, who had returned from far away, as tightly as she could. But right now…the beautiful woman could only nod and reveal a smile as much as she could. Her voice was a little choked with emotion as she said, “It’s great that you guys have returned, it’s really great,” The moment the little girl saw that Yue Yang was back, she shouted “Aiya!” and wriggled out of her mother’s embrace. Her little feet dashed forward with an amazing speed across the Main Hall and she jumped straight into Yue Yang’s embrace. Her small hands hugged his neck tightly as she then started crying out loud. It was as if she was an orphan who had no one to depend on and had suddenly found her relative.
The old servant Uncle Nan and the others also welcomed them emotionally, quickly taking Yue Yang’s backpack from his back.
Only the middle-aged man with the flawless skin did not show any reaction towards Yue Yang’s arrival. He didn’t even stand, he simply sat leisurely on his chair as he held the teacup in his hand and slowly drank his tea.
When Yue Yang walked closer, carrying the little girl in his arms, the middle-aged man glanced at Yue Yang with the corner of his eye, but continued to drink his tea leisurely. After a long time, he finally said in an arrogant tone, “So, the Third Young Master has returned. You came home just in time. I came by the orders of the Clan Master to inform you in advance, Third Young Master. In two days, you have to bring your whole family and return to the Yue Clan’s Castle. Other than paying respects to the Clan Master and other Clan Elders, you also have to pay respect to the newly-wedded wife of the Fourth Master. This Fourth Mistress that is about to join your family is an extremely wealthy miss from He Yang Feng’s family. However, this marriage will not be a simple matter of taking an ordinary concubine. In the future, the Fourth Branch legal Mistress (wife) would be this woman. When you pay respects to her later, you’ll have to call her Fourth Mother, or Fourth Mistress.”
(Shiro: Fourth Master – Yue Bing’s dad, Yue Yang’s Dad’s brother/adoptive father. Yue Yang’s dad was Third Master)
“My father is going to remarry?” Yue Bing almost fainted when she heard this. How could this have happened?
“….” When Yue Yang heard it, he was also extremely shocked.
Faintly, he could sense that this wasn’t simply an ordinary marriage affair; this was a plot.
It must be a plot against the Fourth Branch.
Although the beautiful woman and Fourth Uncle seldom lived together, they had mutual respects for each other. They also lived harmoniously and did not quarrel with each other. Furthermore, according to the pitiful guy’s diary, his Fourth Uncle wasn’t the kind of man who was fickle-minded. On the contrary, he was a good man who was filial to his parents and loving to his children. He was a good husband that had never quarreled with his wife for more than ten years. Although he wasn’t very strong and couldn’t compare to his three older brothers, his morals, character and attitude was definitely not short of a true nobleman’s.
A person like him, how could he abandon his current wife and take in another
