Chapter 242 The storm breaks out again
Even though she was thinking this in her heart, Yu Qingli remained calm on the surface. She just pretended to be surprised and said loudly: "Daddy, are you going to sever ties with your daughter?"
"So what?" Since he had already lost face, Yu Zhengsha didn't care about falling out with Yu Qingli.
Yu Qingli's eyes were filled with tears. She retreated to advance and said, "Daddy, I don't understand. Even if you hate me, you should at least let me know why, right? Besides, you poisoned me today, and I'm willing to not pursue the matter. Why are you being so aggressive?"
After Yu Qingli finished speaking, she didn't wait for Yu Zhengsha to speak. She just stood there proudly, closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, her mind was clear and resolute.
"Alright! In that case, my daughter has nothing to linger on. Everyone, bear witness for Qingli that from today on, I, Yu Qingli, and Yu Zhengsha will no longer have any relationship! From now on, we will go our separate ways, each accepting our fate and never having anything to do with each other again!"
The guests fell silent, and there was sympathy, pity, and admiration in their eyes when they looked at Yu Qingli. It was obvious that everyone had now classified Yu Qingli as the weaker party, and Yu Zhengsha's good reputation had come to an end.
Yu Zhengsha had no way to defend himself. Facing the accusing gazes of everyone, his expression was extremely ugly.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm a little late..."
Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, a hearty voice sounded from Yu Qingli's ears, but made her frown.
Yu Lihan stepped into the hall, but suddenly found that something seemed wrong. Why did everyone look at him so strangely, and why was Yu Qingli, who was supposed to cover her face with a red scarf, standing next to Murong Feng with blood all over her mouth?
It seems that a lot of things happened during the time when His Majesty summoned him into the palace.
Yu Lihan turned around and walked towards Yu Qingli with a smile, "Sister, the auspicious time has arrived. According to the rules, the bride's feet cannot touch the ground. Let me carry you to the carriage!"
Yu Qingli's face turned cold. "I'm so sorry. Thank you for your kindness. Just now, Daddy has severed the father-daughter relationship with me. From today on, I will no longer be the eldest daughter of the Yu family, and naturally I will no longer have any big brother."
Yu Lihan was stunned, then looked at Yu Zhengsha's expression at the moment. Although he didn't know what had happened, he suddenly understood the current situation and what he should do.
"Hahaha……"
Yu Lihan suddenly burst out laughing and reached out to touch Yu Qingli's head. "Girl, are you still angry with father? Can't you see that father is drunk? Father is really something. He has been reluctant to let you get married since yesterday and has been drinking alone. I'm afraid he hasn't sobered up yet."
The coldness in Yu Qingli's eyes deepened. So that's how it was. Was Yu Lihan here to smooth things over? To ruin her plans? Did he think he could get away with just saying he was drunk?
These guests are not fools!
Yu Qingli gave Xiluo a subtle look, and Xiluo said, "Young Master, the master has already admitted to poisoning the young lady. Moreover, the facts have also proved that the master did poison the young lady. Could it be that all this is because the master is drunk? The master does not look drunk at all."
Poisoning? Yu Lihan looked at Yu Zhengsha in surprise, and saw that his expression was gloomy, as if there was something hidden.
"Sister, no matter what, today is your auspicious day. Let's put aside these misunderstandings for now. Seeing that the auspicious time has arrived, I'm sure everyone in the palace is waiting anxiously. Your Highness, what do you think?"
Yu Lihan changed the subject. It was no use keeping this matter so tense. Now it seemed that the conflict between his father and sister Qingli was very serious. It seemed that he had to understand it well before he could resolve the entanglement, but it was definitely not the time.
After listening to Yu Lihan's words, Murong Feng felt that it made a lot of sense. No matter what happened, it could not stop his wedding.
Yu Lihan's words gave Yu Zhengsha a way out, and drew everyone's attention back to the wedding. However, it also made Yu Qingli very depressed. She could have dealt a severe blow to Yu Zhengsha, but now the situation was suddenly reversed, which was really infuriating.
I really don’t know if Yu Lihan did it on purpose.
Yu Lihan glanced around and ordered, "Why don't you quickly get a new veil for the young lady? Today's incident is, after all, our family affair. You don't have to take it too seriously. Besides, there are many misunderstandings. Once these misunderstandings are resolved, we will still be a family."
Yu Qingli's face turned cold. Yu Lihan's ability to solve problems was really amazing. He could change the whole situation with just a few words. If such a person was not Yu Zhengsha's son, she would really be happy to make friends with him. However, due to his identity, it was a bit of a pity.
Xiluo on the side also felt it was a pity. She had obtained the poisonous insect from the Western Regions with great difficulty. She even used pupil magic on Yu Zhengsha to make him say what they wanted to hear, making him subconsciously say words that were unfavorable to her when he looked at her. However, she did not expect that she would be sent away by this young master with just a few words.
It seems that I have to pay close attention to this person in the future. He is so good at manipulating others, so he must not be a good person.
Xiluo held Yu Qingli's hand and asked what to do next.
Yu Qingli calmly wrote a word on Xiluo's palm: Endure!
Xiluo understood that the young lady was preparing to call off the attack for the time being and wait and see what would happen.
Murong Feng had also come to his senses by now and said to the guests, "Please continue drinking. Today is a good day for us. I hope you will not leave until you are drunk."
Now that the eldest prince had spoken, the guests present all sat down again, clinking glasses and the atmosphere became lively again.
Soon, the bridesmaid brought over the red veil. The auspicious pattern of a dragon and a phoenix on the veil was particularly vivid and very beautiful.
Before Yu Qingli could speak, Yu Lihan walked forward, half-knelt in front of her, and said sincerely, "Sister Qingli, it's getting late. Let me get you married."
Yu Qingli paused, instinctively wanting to refuse, but Murong Feng beside her whispered, "Qingli, if there's anything, how about we talk about it after today?"
Yu Qingli bit her teeth slightly under the veil. Facing Yu Lihan's broad back, she suddenly felt like crying. If this brother had appeared in her life earlier, everything might have been different.
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Qingli finally climbed onto Yu Lihan's back with an expressionless face. His broad shoulders were very warm, just like the brother in her dreams. However, this man was Yu Zhengsha's son after all, and it was impossible for him to be sincere to her.
Yu Qingli's body was a little stiff, her hands tightly pulling at the clothes on Yu Lihan's shoulders, and she felt very uneasy.
"Sister Qingli, I'm sorry. No matter what father did to you, I will make it up to you in the future. After all, we will always be a family..."
The warm voice floated past Yu Qingli's ears, accompanied by the refreshing fragrance of osmanthus in the courtyard, which made Yu Qingli's heart a little moved, but it was only for a moment.
The memories of how Yu Zhengsha treated her, the tragic scene of her mother's death, and the pain of the past flashed before her eyes. Yu Qingli felt as if everything in front of her eyes was blood red.
She is no longer the Yu Qingli who was easily moved in her previous life. Now she has already transformed into a devil for revenge. Only devils can associate with devils!
Perhaps feeling the chill coming from behind him, Yu Lihan sighed inwardly. After all, it was still not so easy for him to make his sister accept him.
Yu Lihan walked slowly, and Murong Feng returned to the carriage. Everything that had happened in the Yu Mansion before seemed to have disappeared like smoke. The band started beating drums and gongs again, and the mansion had returned to its previous lively scene.
It seemed like everything was going so smoothly at this wedding.
Yu Lihan carried Yu Qingli onto the carriage and gently held her hand. "Sister Qingli, no matter what, I will always be your big brother. If you need anything, just come to me anytime."
Yu Qingli was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you."
No matter what the relationship between Yu Lihan and Yu Zhengsha is, he seems to really want to get along well with him.
Everything was ready. Murong Feng raised his hand to signal, and immediately the eunuch in charge shouted loudly: "Let's go back to the palace..."
"Farewell to the eldest prince, farewell to the princess!"
The carriage moved slowly, with only the constant noise in the ears. Yu Qingli sat in the carriage, the red veil blocking her sight, but she could still feel Murong Feng's slightly unhappy expression.
Was it because today's sudden accident made him feel embarrassed, or was it because he was dissatisfied with not seeing Mei Hong? No matter which one it was, Murong Feng was not in a good mood at the moment.
They travelled in silence, with occasional voices drifting in from outside the carriage as people watched the excitement.
"Look, that's the eldest prince's consort. I heard she's the most talented woman in Jiangnan, and she's also Prime Minister Yu's eldest daughter. I wonder what she looks like?"
"Prime Minister Yu's daughter is naturally a beauty, but speaking of which, the eldest prince is also quite a handsome man. The eldest daughter of the Yu family is truly blessed."
"Yes, yes, look at the dowry. It's obviously not something an ordinary family can compare to. It's really enviable."
"..."
Yu Qingli sneered in her heart under the veil. These people only knew how grand the royal family was and how gentlemanly the eldest prince was, but they didn't know that behind the so-called grandeur and luxury were piles of bones and wronged souls, and behind Murong Feng's gentle face, there was only a cruel heart.
While Yu Qingli was stunned, Murong Feng suddenly reached out and held her hand, "Qingli, today, you finally marry me. From today on, I will never let anyone suffer any more."
Yu Qingli's fingers were icy cold, and Murong Feng's palms were not warm either. No matter how long the two cold hands held each other, all they could feel was coldness.
