Chapter 400: Young Master's Return
Chapter 400: Young Master's Return
When Yu Daddy brought his son and guests home, the sky had already darkened, and the children's mother had gone to bed.
Meng Qianqian hurriedly said, "Uncle Yu, we're also a little tired. Can we go and greet Aunt Yu tomorrow morning?"
Yu Daddy was originally in a difficult situation. His son had brought friends home for the first time, and as his mother, how could she not come out to entertain them?
Meng Qianqian's words helped him and his children's mother out of the predicament.
He couldn't help but sigh with emotion. His son had made such good friends on his trip.
"Then, then it's fine, Lai Fu!"
"Master, you're back? Why are you returning so late?"
A servant named Lai Fu, carrying a broom, ran over.
He immediately spotted Yu Zichuan beside Yu Daddy, and after a moment of surprise, he asked in disbelief, "Oh my, this... is this... Young Master? Has the Young Master grown so tall?"
He circled Yu Zichuan, looking him up and down, and couldn't help but laugh excitedly, "Haha, it's really the Young Master! The Young Master is back! Lady—Young—"
Yu Daddy covered his mouth and whispered, "What are you shouting? Be careful not to wake the Lady!"
Lai Fu: But the Young Master has returned.
Yu Daddy: There are many children, but only one Lady. Even if the Son of Heaven comes, he's not allowed to disturb the Lady's sleep!
Meng Qianqian pursed her lips, suppressing the corners of her mouth that were raised.
The affection between Yu Daddy and Yu Mother was truly heartwarming.
Growing up in such a harmonious environment, it's no wonder Yu Zichuan's temperament was so pure.
Lai Fu was an orphan. At the age of ten, he was begging on the streets, he was bullied by other beggars and suffered severe injuries.
Yu Daddy and Yu Mother happened to pass by and sent him to a medical clinic.
But he was too dirty, and the clinic refused to admit him.
Yu Daddy and Yu Mother had no choice but to take medicine from the clinic and bring him home for treatment.
After Lai Fu recovered, he stayed in the Yu family as a servant.
After listening to Lai Fu's experience, Meng Qianqian sighed with emotion.
Lai Fu was unfortunate, but he was also lucky.
Although he was a servant, he was well-fed and plump, with a straightforward and generous demeanor. His clothing and speech were all excellent, and it was evident that Yu Daddy had treated him very well over the years. "Have you saved enough for a bride price?"
Yu Zichuan asked Lai Fu, "Lai Fu, have you saved enough for a bride price yet?"
Lai Fu scratched his head and smiled, "Almost, almost there."
"If it's not enough, I'll lend it to you."
Yu Zichuan said.
Lai Fu was so touched that he teared up, "Young Master... I knew..."
Yu Zichuan extended his finger, "Three breaths."
Lai Fu's emotion suddenly stopped, and he turned around expressionlessly, "I'll go make the bed."
The group stayed at the Yu residence.
There weren't many people in the Yu family. Yu Zichuan's sister had already married, and his other two sisters had gone elsewhere, leaving only the three of them and a few servants at home.
The side rooms were more than enough, with Si She, Ji Li, Chen Long, Shang Wuyou, and Tan'er each having their own room.
Tan'er followed Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan to stay in the second courtyard.
The rest stayed in the first courtyard.
Yu Zichuan...
In the middle of the night, he knocked on Chen Long's door while hugging a pillow.
Chen Long looked at him in bewilderment, then suddenly realized something and said to him, "This is your home. Lu Yuan won't kill you."
Yu Zichuan found it hard to speak, "My father chased me out."
His parents truly loved him, but he was an unexpected surprise.
Chen Long and Yu Zichuan had shared a room in Wushan, so he should have been used to it by now. However, seeing the pillow in Chen Long's embrace, he suddenly felt something strange, but couldn't pinpoint what it was.
"You have to hug that pillow?"
He asked with a frown.
Yu Zichuan said, "Yes, it's my favorite pillow."
Celestial Dragon: Why do I feel like I'm already raising a child before even getting married...
Celestial Dragon sighed, "Come in."
Yu Zichuan entered the room, hugging a pillow.
Celestial Dragon, while organizing his sword case, said, "Tomorrow, you're not allowed to bring the pillow again."
Yu Zichuan ignored him.
Celestial Dragon turned around and saw that the kid was already asleep on the bed.
Celestial Dragon felt envious.
He couldn't remember the last time he fell asleep so quickly, not even when he was a child.
After organizing his sword case, Celestial Dragon stepped out of the room.
Just as he crossed the threshold, he swept his hand backward, unleashing his inner strength to toss the blanket onto Yu Zichuan's body.
He arrived in the courtyard.
Si She was also there.
Si She wasn't surprised to see him, "You couldn't sleep either?"
Celestial Dragon said, "I'm here for revenge, but what about you?"
Si She gazed at the vast and boundless sky, and for a moment, he felt as insignificant as a grain of rice, "I'm lost. You all know what you want to do, but I'm still searching for my path."
Celestial Dragon said, "Follow Xiao Jiu, and you'll find it."
Si She asked, "Is that so?"
He turned around and looked at Celestial Dragon, "It's obvious you're seeking revenge on the Thousand-Mechanisms Pavilion, but why does she seem more like the backbone? I can understand her dedication to the Chu family's case, she's a Yin Hu, and it's only right for her to avenge Chu Dahuangshuai. But what does Chu Dahuangshuai have to do with the Shang family?"
Instead of answering directly, Celestial Dragon thought for a moment and said, "Si She, you're so smart, so find the answer yourself."
Si She wasn't just searching for a particular person; he was also seeking his own path.
Celestial Dragon could provide the answer, but he couldn't guide Si She on his path.
So, Si She had to find it himself.
"What are you two up to?"
Ji Li's voice echoed from behind them, "Is Celestial Dragon conspiring with you behind my back, discussing some plan? We're brothers, you can't hide it from me!"
"We're just chatting."
Si She replied.
"If it's just a chat, can we join?"
Meng Qianqian smiled and walked over with Lu Yuan.
Ji Li snapped open his folding fan, "Not sleeping in the middle of the night, where's Tan'er?"
Meng Qianqian said, "She's asleep."
It was the time of year when they ate and slept a lot.
In the southwest, the mornings and evenings carried a chill.
As martial artists, they weren't bothered by this, except for Lu Yuan, who was forced by Meng Qianqian to wear a cloak, making his back sweat.
But he couldn't tell her that his cold condition had been cured.
Because his mother had told someone about using Yin Yang Harmony to treat his cold condition.
And then, there were many consequences.
"Where's Shang Wuyou?"
Meng Qianqian asked.
Ji Li huffed, "Who cares?"
Meng Qianqian looked at the stone benches and stools, "Let's sit and chat."
There were four stools for five people.
Ji Li leaped and lay on the roof, casually fanning himself with his fan.
The four of them sat down.
Meng Qianqian said, "Let's discuss our next plan. We saw Jian Junwang's procession earlier, and it seems the Thousand-Mechanisms Pavilion has an even stronger backing than we thought."
Celestial Dragon spoke seriously, "I still intend to assassinate Gongsun Yanming."
Meng Qianqian looked at Si She, "Si She, what do you think?"
Si She said, "Although this is your matter, and I have no right to interfere, since you asked, I believe we should investigate the Thousand-Mechanisms Pavilion. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you'll win every battle. We need to find the Thousand-Mechanisms Pavilion's weaknesses to defeat them."
