Chapter 221 Planning for Yourself
This sentence touched the sore spot of Patriarch Yu. His face turned cold and he angrily swept everything on the table to the ground.
"It's fine if you just mess around at home. Even if you do something shameful like that, I'll cover it up for you. But now, you let all the tens of thousands of young and strong refugees in the city go for your own selfish reasons. It seems that I've let you go without knowing your own limitations."
Patriarch Yu sighed deeply and continued in a cold tone, "During this period of time, you should let her reflect on herself and not step out of the yard."
Yu Xunmei looked up at him with a look of disbelief, "You actually confined me for those servants?"
"Butler Yu!" Patriarch Yu called Butler Yu, who was guarding the door of the study, in, "Take the young lady back. You are not allowed to come out without my permission."
"Yes, sir!"
Just as Butler Yu was about to reach out to help Yu Xunmei who was kneeling on the ground, she ruthlessly pushed him away.
"I'll go by myself!"
Yu Xunmei returned angrily to the courtyard where she lived.
After the last incident, her father ordered all the people in her courtyard to leave, and now only a personal maid sent by her mother is left.
As soon as she entered the yard, Yu's mother came.
"Amei, why did you make your father angry again?" Yu's mother sat on the bed and looked at her disappointing daughter.
Yu Xunmei lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes, "I didn't make him angry, they are just useless servants."
"How can it be useless? There is chaos in the north right now, and a large number of refugees are fleeing south. The big and small families in the south are taking this opportunity to recruit soldiers. The fall of the Fan family in Nanzhou Prefecture is a good opportunity to strengthen the Yu family. Those were all selected by your father with great difficulty, and you let them all go without saying a word. How can your father not be angry?"
My mother advised kindly.
"There have always been refugees. Is it worth for him to get angry with me over these few people? I will never forgive him for scolding me like this." Yu Xunmei said angrily.
Her daughter's temper had changed, and Yu's mother didn't know how to persuade her.
"Your father is currently communicating with the noble families in Cangwu County. I heard him say a few days ago that he wanted to find a family for you there. Cangwu is far from Nanzhou Prefecture, so you can live a peaceful life there after you marry there."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xunmei sat up abruptly and stared at Yu's mother with a sinister look, "Do you think I've brought shame upon you and am of no value to you, so you want to marry me off far away!"
Yu's mother was suddenly startled by her and looked away, not daring to look at her.
"Don't think too much. Your father is not that kind of person. That family is also a prominent family in Cangwu County. If you marry them, you will be the mistress of the house. You won't have to suffer."
Yu Xunmei snorted coldly, lying on the bed, closing her eyes and said, "I will not get married. You and father should give up this idea as soon as possible!"
No matter how Yu's mother tried to persuade her, Yu Xunmei just closed her eyes and said nothing, nor did she respond. She could only tell the maid to serve the young lady well, then turned and left.
After Yu's mother left, Yu Xunmei fell asleep while lying down.
She is not the type of lady who would fight to the death when faced with problems. She eats three meals a day on time and never misses a meal.
Three days passed like this. Except for her mother coming to persuade her to admit her mistake to her father, her father never came to see her.
Yu Xunmei could no longer sit still and paced around the room in annoyance.
Could it be true, as my mother said, that my father really planned to marry me to Cangwu?
No, she had to find a way to save herself.
That night, after the maid fell asleep, she avoided the guards outside the yard, went to a big tree beside the courtyard wall, and climbed up. The branches of the tree extended outside the yard. When she was a child, she often sneaked out to play when the maid was not paying attention.
With the faint candlelight in the corridor, Yu Xunmei followed the tree branch to the outside of the courtyard wall and slowly slid down.
After dodging the guards patrolling at night, she came to the yard where her eldest brother lived.
The lights are still on in the room and my brother hasn't gone to bed yet. That's great!
Yu Xunmei groped her way to the window and through the crack, she wanted to quietly call her elder brother out, but she heard two people in the room talking about her.
"Husband, my sister has been confined by my father for several days. Do you think I should go see her tomorrow?"
Fan Yuejia married into the Yu family 100 days after her father's death, and had an average relationship with Yu's mother and sister-in-law.
Before she married into the Yu family, she looked down on Yu Xunmei, a girl who lived a dissolute life.
Who knew that fate would play such a trick on her? The person she looked down upon at the beginning now has to put aside herself and try to please him in order to please her husband.
"Even her mother couldn't persuade her, so what's the point of you going?"
"Does father really want to marry her to Cangwu County?"
"My father originally intended to form a marriage alliance with the Zhong family in Huaizhou City. I don't know how the Zhong family found out about my sister. Someone in the family even saw my sister hanging out with the third son of the Ye family in Yongqing City. They implied that she was not decent in front of my father and politely declined the marriage proposal, which made my father lose face."
"Why not just let the third son of the Ye family marry my sister?" Fan Yuejia suggested.
Yu Shicheng rubbed his brows. Although his sister's affairs had not spread widely, everyone in the powerful families in the South knew about it.
"That old fox of the Ye family would never admit to such a thing."
"The third young master of the Ye family is also unwilling?" Lu Jiayue was puzzled.
Yu Shicheng sneered, "Besides his father, he also has two capable brothers. When will it be his turn to make the decision?"
In other words, even the Ye family has no chance.
"My sister is young and hot-tempered. This matter is indeed difficult to handle now."
Yu Shicheng, "My father has already contacted the noble families in Cangwu County. The only solution now is for Amei to marry far away and get in touch with the family in Cangwu County. This is the best outcome."
Fan Yuejia stood up and went forward to rub his temple, her full breasts rubbing against his back, "Given my sister's personality, I'm afraid she won't agree."
"So what if she disagrees? The Yu family has raised him for more than ten years. It's time for her to repay the family."
Yu Shicheng was a little distracted by the thin clothes he was wearing in the summer. He suddenly turned his head and bit Fan Yuejia's chest through her clothes.
Fan Yuejia let out a moan, her face flushed with shame. She put her arms around Yu Shicheng's neck and tried her best to please him, her eyes misty with embarrassment.
It was the same for her. As soon as she entered the house, Yu Shicheng's concubine became pregnant, and she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.
If her father hadn't died, she would never have suffered such humiliation!
Now, in order to conceive a legitimate child as soon as possible, she has to learn from the prostitutes in the brothel and humiliate herself.
Then, there was the sound of the tea set on the table being swept to the ground and breaking into pieces, followed by the unbearable gasps of a man and a woman.
Yu Xunmei left with anger and hatred.
All the love is fake in the face of interests, he just wants to sell her at a higher price!
Now they are thinking of marrying her off far away before her fame spreads, in exchange for greater benefits.
She is not reconciled! !
She wanted to escape, but where could she escape to?
She had nothing. All the maids and servants who used to serve her and the guards who followed her were replaced.
