Chapter 860: Human or Ghost?

But!

Human hearts were reciprocal in the first place. If Yu Shansi treated her sincerely, she would repay him with some sincerity.

Yu Shansi was silent for a moment before saying, Thats good.

His tone revealed a hint of relief.

Concubine Jiangs background was not bad. After she was promoted, Brother Ming would be promoted from the son of a concubine to the son of a legitimate wife. His father had a legitimate son, so why would he care about his son who wasnt born to a legitimate wife or a concubine?

Their Third Sister had made a huge mistake and was sent back to the clan. If she could pray for her grandmother in the nunnery for three years.

Three years later, she would fulfill her filial piety to her elders, and her reputation would not be bad. With her fathers love for her, she would be able to marry into a wealthy family. He would prepare more dowry and match her with a family that had a better family background. In the future, she would have a good life and he would not have to worry about her.

Yu Shansi thought about it. After his mother was locked up in the Tranquil Heart Residence, his father treated him coldly. Then, he thought of his fathers disgusted att.i.tude towards him after his mother was divorced. He felt very uncomfortable, but in the end, he couldnt ignore it.

Hows our Father?

Yu Shansi had enjoyed Yu Zongzhengs fatherly love, and those years of sincere love could not be faked. Yu Youyao also understood his conflicted feelings. Hes quite good too.

However, he did not say that after Yu Zongshen went into mourning, Yu Zongzheng was not as successful in the royal court as before. He was neither of high nor low status in the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs, nor could he interfere in the Imperial Court.

He was already a little powerless.

This was because he was the eldest son. The brothers had long separated, and their grandmother followed the eldest son. Furthermore, the eldest son had to observe a period of mourning for his parents. That was the rightful reason.

Although no one openly accused him of being unfilial, he was still exposed in the end, and his reputation was not as good as before.

Although the clan did not say anything explicitly, their tolerance and dissatisfaction with Yu Zongzheng for many years had reached its peak after their grandmothers sudden death.

Perhaps Yu Zongzheng did not notice that he had already been marginalized by his family.

Without the help and resources of the family, it wouldnt be long before Yu Zongzheng was marginalized in the royal court.

Yu Zongzheng was greedy for power and greed. In the end, he would only end up with a disappointing outcome.

The outcome was predestined.

Therefore, she had never cared about Yu Zongzheng.

The siblings had reunited after a long time and chatted a lot. Yu Youyao ordered someone to prepare lunch in advance.

After the siblings finished their meal, Yu Shansi was about to return to the academy.

Yu Youyao prepared some fine gold and silver, as well as a lot of incense and food. She sent a vehicle to send Yu Shansi off. Ive prepared a courtyard for you in the Yu Garden. Come over when youre free. If you suffer in the academy, tell me. We wont take the initiative to cause trouble, but we dont have to be afraid of trouble. You usually have to take care of your health

Yu Shansis eyes welled up and he quickly lowered his head. I understand, Eldest Sister.

He suddenly thought of everything that had happened in the Yu Residence in the past.

However, his memories came to an abrupt stop on the day he almost drowned.

The day the nanny was sent out of the residence, she had come to look for him. When he found out that she was leaving, he tugged at her sleeve and cried as he apologized to her, saying that he would never hit Mo Cai again.

A nanny was like half a mother.

He had been fed by the nanny since he was young, and his daily life was taken care of by her. He had a deep relations.h.i.+p with her.

In the past, when the nanny was by his side, he did not think much of it.

When he suddenly found out that the nanny was leaving, he panicked and was really afraid.

The nanny also hugged him and cried. She said to him word by word, Miss Xia Tao and I brought Carpenter Li to check the railings by the lake one by one. There cant really be a problem. Eldest Miss wont be negligent in such matters.

He was stunned when he heard this.

However, the nanny did not explain anything and continued, Eldest Miss was not involved in the matter of moving the courtyard. First Madam was the one who arranged everything. Third Miss also sent someone close to her to help. Nanny Qin was even sent over early in the morning. Thats why Nanny Qin was able to come and save the Fourth Young Master immediately after he drowned.

He did not understand such complicated words, but he felt a sense of uneasiness for no reason.

The nanny continued, You have to think carefully. Who was the one who deliberately gossiped and lured you to the lake? No matter how busy the huge Songtao Courtyard is, its not to the extent that everyone in front of you wont be free. Someone deliberately sent the people around you away and made you and Mo Cai alone by the lake.

He s.h.i.+vered in fear.

Then, she heard the nanny continue, Eldest Miss only said that the newly built railing was not firm and was a little loose. However, I was the first to rush over. Its obvious that the railing was not firm, but deliberately loosened.

After that, First Madam insisted that Eldest Miss had deliberately wanted to harm you. If Eldest Miss hadnt saved your life, Im afraid you wouldnt have been able to defend yourself.

Yu Shansis mind went blank. Did someone deliberately harm him?

There was no problem with the railing, and Yu Youyao did not interfere in the moving of the courtyard. He had also been saved by Yu Youyao, so he ruled out the possibility that Yu Youyao wanted to harm him.

His mother had always doted on him the most, so it was even more impossible for her to harm him.

Then who else could loosen the railing of the Songtao Courtyard without anyone noticing?

Who else could quietly transfer all the people around him to help and leave him alone?

Who else could understand his personality and use the servants words to instigate him to go to the lake to play?

No matter how stupid he was, he understood that it was impossible for servants to do such a thing.

There were only a few people in the main house.

Concubine He was still locked up.

The nanny continued, After your Nanny leaves, you have to think carefully about who exactly wants to harm you. You have to be a sensible person in the residence and not be a muddle-headed person. Eldest Miss and the Matriarch are kind. You have to get closer to them in the future to live well in the residence.

Thinking of his mother being locked up in the Tranquil Heart Residence, Yu Shansi subconsciously opened his mouth to ask, What about Third Sister? Were biological siblings. Why cant we get close to her and Yu Youyao?

Nanny tidied her clothes. You have to tell whos human and whos a ghost.

The person who had said these words to him was neither a maidservant nor a servant.

She was the nanny who had been like a mother to him since he was young.

An unbelievable thought suddenly appeared in Yu Shansis heart, but he did not dare to continue thinking. He stubbornly believed that Yu Youyao had harmed him and his mother.

However, in the end, he still recognized who was human and who was a ghost.

Yu Shansi still remembered that on the day his mother was divorced, she had died on the way back to the main family. As she was a divorcee, her death no longer had anything to do with him. As a child, he did not even have the chance to mourn for his mother.

That night, his grandmother also pa.s.sed away.

His Eldest Sister was clearly unable to suppress her grief, but she still found time to call him over and ask him solemnly, Before our Grandmother pa.s.sed away, although she had arranged a way out for you, I still want to ask you if youre willing to leave the Yu Residence with me and live a bright future.

He opened his mouth, wanting to ask, Isnt this just coaxing our Grandmother to go in peace?

Was it really true?

At that moment, he hesitated.
