Chapter 1034 [The Untamed 8]
Yu Ziyuan held Youyou's hand tightly and walked into the room quickly, as if she was afraid that Youyou would disappear if she let go. After entering the room, Yu Ziyuan walked straight to the table, sat down, and showed a bitter smile on her face.
"Aunt, look, this is the person I have been pursuing for many years. Yes, our marriage is indeed an arranged marriage, but what I really want is his love!" Yu Ziyuan's voice trembled slightly, as if she was trying to restrain her inner excitement, "He once liked someone else, and I even raised that person's child for him. Although I don't have much affection for that child, I still fulfilled my responsibilities and didn't treat him badly. However, no matter how hard I tried, there was no place for me in his heart."
Youyou listened to Yu Ziyuan's confession quietly. After she finished speaking, Youyou gently patted Yu Ziyuan's hand and comforted her: "Sanniang, this kind of thing is very common. If this man is not clean, then just replace him. Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere! You have your aunt here, don't worry. Besides, our Sanniang is still so young, there are many young and handsome men waiting for you to like. As long as you like someone, your aunt will definitely help you snatch him away, and it will be no problem to find you ten or eight!"
Yu Ziyuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing what Youyou said, "Aunt, if you say that, wouldn't it mean that I've become the emperor and can have three thousand handsome men?"
Youyou looked at Yu Ziyuan seriously and said, "I'm not kidding. If you want, aunt can take you to travel around the world. And no matter where you go, the Yu family will always be your home."
"Thank you, aunt. I just feel sorry for what I did before. After all, I am a girl from a noble family, but Jiang Fengmian looks down on me. I am not bad either." Yu Ziyuan said with a look of grievance.
"Yes, our Sanniang is so outstanding, not inferior to others at all." Youyou hurriedly comforted.
"Aunt, you are still the best to me." Yu Ziyuan burst into laughter and said coquettishly.
"Of course, you were raised by your aunt when you were a child." Youyou gently touched Yu Ziyuan's hair.
"Aunt, do you have someone you like? What kind of person can marry someone as good as you?" Yu Ziyuan suddenly asked curiously.
"I, your aunt, am not in a hurry. Even if I am alone in the future, I still have two disciples to take care of me in my old age." Youyou answered calmly.
"Aunt, your two disciples look very outstanding and good-looking. Aunt, did you accept them as your disciples just because they are good-looking?" Yu Ziyuan asked mischievously, blinking her big eyes.
"Sanniang, what are you thinking about?" Youyou smiled and tapped Yu Ziyuan's head gently. "It's just that they are predestined to be with me, your aunt. I happened to save them at the beginning, and I saw that they were talented and smart, and they were good seedlings, so I accepted them as my apprentices."
"Aunt, can you stay here with me? I'm so lonely alone." Yu Ziyuan blinked her big eyes, looked at Youyou pitifully, and said softly.
Youyou touched Yu Ziyuan's head and replied gently, "I've already said it before, auntie will stay here for the time being. After all, you and your brother need to study, and as your master, auntie can't just abandon you two."
After hearing this, Yu Ziyuan showed a hint of joy on her face, but soon frowned again and muttered, "But...but I'm still scared at night, aunt, I want to sleep with you tonight, can I?"
Youyou looked at Yu Ziyuan's cute yet somewhat frightened appearance, and her heart softened. She nodded and said quickly, "Okay, of course, Auntie will sleep with you tonight."
After hearing what Youyou said, Yu Ziyuan burst into laughter. She threw herself into Youyou's arms and said coquettishly, "Thank you, auntie! You are the best!"
There was a gentle knock on the door outside, and the voice revealed a hint of hesitation and uneasiness.
"Madam, it's me." Jiang Fengmian's voice was low and gentle, as if with a hint of apology.
When Yu Ziyuan heard this, her face suddenly darkened. She quickly shook her head and cast an anxious look at Youyou. Youyou understood and immediately responded, "Sanniang has gone to bed. Master Jiang, please go back."
Jiang Fengmian didn't seem to give up, and his voice was more earnest: "Madam, I was wrong."
However, Youyou's tone remained firm: "Master Jiang, Sanniang will not accept such an insincere apology. I told you that Sanniang has gone to bed. Let's talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."
Jiang Fengmian seemed a little anxious, and his voice was slightly raised: "Yu Xiandu, I know Yuan'er is not asleep, please let me see her."
Youyou was unmoved, and her answer was still indifferent: "You should know that Sanniang will not see you when she is angry. I advise Master Jiang to leave, so as not to make yourself unhappy."
Jiang Fengmian was silent for a while, then said, "I won't leave. I'll wait outside."
Youyou sighed helplessly and said, "It's up to you." After that, she cast a spell without hesitation, turning off the lights in the house instantly, and the whole room fell into darkness.
Youyou lay quietly on the bed, eyes closed, breathing steadily, already in a state of cultivation. However, Yu Ziyuan, who was lying on the bed with her, was not like this. Yu Ziyuan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, her thoughts surging like a tide, making her unable to calm down.
Although Youyou closed her eyes tightly, her perception was extremely sharp. She had long noticed Yu Ziyuan's uneasiness and restlessness, and she couldn't help but feel curious. Finally, Youyou couldn't help but ask, "Are you worried about him? He's still outside now. How about I go out and call him in?"
Yu Ziyuan was startled by Youyou's words. She originally thought that Youyou had already fallen asleep, but she didn't expect that Youyou had been paying attention to her movements. She replied somewhat awkwardly: "Auntie, you are not asleep?"
Youyou smiled slightly and said, "I can always feel you tossing and turning. How can I sleep?"
Yu Ziyuan's face flushed slightly, and she quickly apologized: "Aunt, I'm sorry, I disturbed you."
Youyou waved her hand and said gently, "It's okay. Tell me what you think of him now. If you feel sorry for him, auntie can go out and call him in so you can have a good talk."
"Aunt, do you know? Since I got married, I have never seen him like this. To be honest, we have never really quarreled, but we are both too strong-willed and neither of us is willing to bow to the other. Although on the surface we still respect each other, I can deeply feel that there is an uncrossable river between us." Yu Ziyuan's voice was a little low, revealing a hint of helplessness and sadness.
She sighed slightly and continued, "Aunt, I really can't convince myself to forgive him. I also understand that this can't be entirely blamed on him, after all, he liked Cangse Sanren first. I have seen that woman, she is indeed very good, and it is understandable that my husband would like her more. Moreover, in family marriages like ours, how many are truly based on true love?"
There was a hint of self-mockery in Yu Ziyuan's words. She smiled bitterly and said, "But, aunt, I also know that my situation is not bad. At least my husband has not taken a concubine, which is almost impossible in other families. Most families have illegitimate sons, but I don't have one here."
Youyou listened to Yu Ziyuan's confession quietly, with a trace of pity in her eyes. She gently patted Yu Ziyuan's hand and comforted her: "Aunt knows your hardship. No matter what decision you make, Aunt will always stand by you and support you."
Then, Youyou's voice came, soft but firm: "Go to sleep, don't think about it."
Yu Ziyuan frowned slightly, and the worry in her heart did not dissipate because of Youyou's words. She hesitated for a moment, but still said softly: "Aunt, please let him in, otherwise everyone will know tomorrow morning that my husband has been locked outside the door all night, and then it is inevitable that someone will gossip."
Youyou smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, your aunt is here. With your aunt here, no one will dare to say a word about you."
However, Yu Ziyuan's brows did not relax. She sighed and said, "Aunt, forget it. After all, there are still Cheng'er and Yanli. Even if I can ignore other people's opinions, I still have to take them into consideration."
Seeing that Yu Ziyuan was so insistent, Youyou didn't want to force it anymore, so she nodded and said, "Okay, since you said so, I'll go call him in, and then you two can have a good chat. I'll go practice first."
Yu Ziyuan looked at Youyou gratefully and said, "Thank you, auntie."
