Chapter 261: Lice on the Monk's Head
"Second uncle, my niece is Ru'er. The eldest daughter of the third room is Shangguan Ru." Shangguan Ru introduced clearly.
After hearing this, the second master frowned.
"Are you Ru'er?"
"Yes, second uncle. Ru'er hasn't seen you for many years, and you don't even recognize her." Shangguan Ru also saw that the second master's expression was not right, but she didn't know the reason. As a junior, she still replied very gently.
Just then, Butler Li came running over.
He was also surprised when he saw Shangguan Ru.
How come a woman who looks so much like Concubine Luo was brought back by the eldest son?
"Young Master, the eldest young lady is back." Butler Li came forward and greeted them with a smile.
"Who is this?"
"Uncle Li, this is Miss Ru from our palace, the eldest daughter of my third uncle." Shangguan Ziqi introduced.
This shows how well the third wife did, as she managed to hide her grown-up daughter from everyone in the house.
"Hello, Uncle Li." Shangguan Ru also knew him. She had seen him in the palace when she was a child.
"Okay, okay." Butler Li knew there was a problem at first sight, but he was only a butler. He could only assist but not say anything about his master's affairs.
At this time, the second master's heart was in turmoil.
He clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the anger in his heart.
He turned around and walked into the mansion with a gloomy face.
He didn't care at all about the way Shangguan Ziqi and his wife looked at him.
He walked so fast that his steps were a little unsteady, and he almost bumped into the third lady who was rushing out.
"Second brother." The third wife immediately moved aside.
The second master is now furious and has no idea where to vent his anger.
The moment he saw Shangguan Ru, he understood everything after the shock.
Very good, the third room is very good.
As soon as he saw the Third Madam, he was so angry that he wanted to slap her.
"Third brother's wife, you and third brother get along very well." The second master muttered softly.
No one else could hear it, but the third lady heard it clearly.
The third lady shrank back, simply bowed, and hurried down the stairs.
"Ru'er, if you want to come back, why don't you write a letter to your mother so that I can send someone to pick you up." The third lady suppressed the urge to scold Shangguan Ziqi and his wife for meddling in other people's business, and stepped forward to pick up little Yue'er.
But Xiao Yue'er struggled and didn't want to be held by her.
When the Third Madam and the others left, little Yue'er was too young to remember anyone at all.
"Yuer, be good, I am your grandmother. You were the one who held you when you were born."
"Ru'er greets mother." Shangguan Ru saluted to the third lady with an expressionless face.
Seeing the mother who raised her and whom she had called mother for twenty-one years, her heart ached beyond words.
But she still controlled her trembling body and performed the necessary etiquette.
"Okay, come with me into the house. The courtyard you lived in before is still there. I'll have someone clean it up for you and you can live there temporarily.
As a divorced person, you should not enter the palace. You have two younger sisters at home who are not yet engaged, and your younger brother will also have to get married in the future.
Now that you have divorced, I don’t know if their future marriage will be hindered.
Since your elder brother has brought you back, I have nothing to say. Let's go."
The third wife had a cold face, like a strict mother, and kept complaining.
"Aunt San, Sister Ru has just returned home. She should go see mother first." Yu Yuanzheng said with a smile.
"You must be tired after the journey back. After a night's rest, it won't be too late to meet again tomorrow." The Third Lady rejected her proposal very forcefully.
Why didn't I see her with such a strong aura when I met her before?
“We only walked a hundred miles today, and we were riding in a carriage, so we weren’t tired.
"Let's see the mother first. She's the head of the entire palace. Is there something shameful about Sister Ru?" Yu Yuanzheng still asked to see the princess first with a harmless look on her face.
"Let's go to the main courtyard." Shangguan Ziqi didn't give the third lady any chance to say anything else. He waved his hand and walked ahead.
Yu Yuanzheng immediately took Shangguan Ru's arm and went up the stairs.
The third wife was left at the bottom of the stairs, still holding the child.
"Mom." Xiao Yue'er was held by a stranger and kept struggling.
She wants her mother to hold her.
Yu Yuanzheng let go of Shangguan Ru, came to pick up the child herself, and turned and left.
Not giving the third lady any time to react.
The Third Lady had no choice. In front of so many guards and Butler Li, she dared not say anything.
Shangguan Ziqi walked hurriedly.
Yu Yuanzheng and Shangguan Ru jogged to catch up.
This doesn't give anyone the opportunity to stop you.
But before they reached the main courtyard, the third master arrived.
He was just discussing with the third old lady how to do this matter in the best interests of them.
The truth has been exposed and must be faced.
"Ruru." The third master called out coldly.
Shangguan Ru was so frightened that she trembled and stopped unconsciously.
Her father was always strict with her and never smiled at her.
I have seen him smiling when facing his younger brothers and sisters, but he is always serious when facing himself.
Over time, she developed a natural fear of her father.
"Hello, hello, father." Shangguan Ru squatted down and saluted cautiously.
"Greetings, Third Uncle." Seeing that they couldn't avoid it, Shangguan Ziqi and his wife had no choice but to pay their respects.
"Ziqi, you brought a divorced woman back home. Why don't you consider the marriages of your other brothers and sisters?" The third master rebuked coldly.
"Uncle San, this divorced woman is the daughter you raised.
If it were my father, if he knew that his daughter was bullied by her husband's family, he would find a way to bring her home even if the power was not equal.
Let alone a divorce, even being divorced wouldn't bother him." Yu Yuanzheng deliberately disgusted him.
Why are you still pretending?
The lice on the monk's head are obvious.
"Ziqi's wife, that's your Yu family, this is the Shangguan family, and Ru'er is the daughter of my third wife. You have no right to interfere." The third master scolded coldly.
"Uncle San, do you want to break up now? We can talk about this after Father comes back. Let's go and see Mother first."
Shangguan Ziqi took a step forward and stood in front of Yu Yuanzheng, his eyes even colder than the third master's.
Seeing Shangguan Ziqi so powerful, the third master took a step back.
But he had to stop Ru'er from going to the main courtyard no matter what.
He then went around Shangguan Ziqi from the side and tried to pull Shangguan Ru.
As long as he returns to their third room, all autonomy will be in his hands.
Shangguan Ziqi was very rude and took another step forward to block the man, but the third master actually dodged it very nimbly.
He easily grabbed Shangguan Ru's hand and was about to pull her towards the courtyard of the third house.
Shangguan Ziqi was startled, but only for a moment. He stepped forward and struck the third master's arm with a knife.
Seeing the situation, the third master had to let go.
"Uncle San, when did you learn martial arts?" Shangguan Ziqi was a little confused.
He had never seen his third uncle practice martial arts, and his grandfather had never taught him, but his movements just now were very obvious, and only someone who had learned martial arts could be so flexible.
The third master was stunned. He was too impatient and accidentally exposed himself.
"My third uncle is away from home all year round. He learned a few moves from the guards just for self-defense." The third master explained embarrassedly.
But Shangguan Ziqi was a little skeptical, as he only knew a few self-defense moves and was not that flexible.
He kicked and rushed towards the third master.
As a result, the third master was kicked backwards by him.
"Ziqi, what do you mean?" The third uncle looked up at Shangguan Ziqi resentfully.
"Uncle San, I'm sorry, but I just wanted to test your skills." Shangguan Ziqi explained calmly, and kindly reached out to pull the man up.
