She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 412 The eldest wife blocks the way

An old woman, supported by two young women, stood directly in the middle of the road, forcing the coachman to stop the carriage.

When Yu Yuanzheng saw the carriage suddenly stop and lifted the curtain, she saw the old lady of the former Yong'an Earl's Mansion walking towards the carriage with a cane and the support of her two granddaughters-in-law.

Shangguan Ziqi and Yu Yunzhi also had to stop their horses and watch them approach.

"Second brother, I finally waited for you to come back.

Do you know that our Yong'an Earl's Mansion no longer exists?

The title that our Yu family had inherited for more than sixty years was taken back by the Emperor.

And now our family doesn’t even have a place to live.

Now that you're finally back, we've found a place to stay." Old Madam Yu said sadly.

She wiped away tears while speaking.

Yu Yuanzheng rolled her eyes. How thick-skinned must she be to have the nerve to stop people on the street? She was going to make the Yu family's troubles public in front of everyone so that public opinion could put pressure on her father.

Are you trying to use filial piety to suppress others by sticking your own father's stepmother?

Yu Yuanzheng sneered in her heart, but did not show it on her face. She just watched Madam Yu's performance calmly.

Then he whispered to the driver, "Don't pay any attention to it, just keep going."

The coachman was a little hesitant. After all, the person blocking the carriage was the old lady of the Yu family. If he drove the carriage forcibly, he would probably cause criticism.

This driver was brought to the post by Yu Yunzhi. As an old man of the Yu family, he certainly knew everything about the Yu family.

Yu Yuanzheng saw his concerns and said firmly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

The driver then nodded, raised his whip, and prepared to drive forward.

When Mrs. Yu saw that the coachman was about to whip the horses, she became anxious.

He walked forward quickly with a cane, blocking Yu Yunzhi's horse directly, and said in a sharp voice: "Second brother, are you so cruel that you don't even recognize your stepmother?

Our Yu family is in trouble now. As a descendant of the Yu family, are you going to watch us wander the streets?"

Her voice was so loud that people around her stopped and watched.

Yu Yunzhi frowned and his face suddenly darkened.

He dismounted and walked up to Old Madam Yu. His tone was calm but a bit cold: "Old Madam, what do you mean?"

He didn't even want to call her mother, but when he was in Yu Mansion, he had to call her mother.

Now that he has the confidence, he can just call her old lady and no one will say anything.

When Mrs. Yu saw Yu Yun dismount, she was delighted.

Thinking her plan had worked, she quickly wiped her tears and said, "Second brother, I, an old woman, apologize to you in front of the entire city. It was my fault before, and I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have blocked your future."

The Yong'an Earl's Mansion has now lost its title, its property has been confiscated, and it has no place to stay.

You are the father of Princess Zhenguo, the father-in-law of the prince of Rongwang Mansion, and a seventh-rank county magistrate. You will be highly regarded by the emperor when you return to Beijing this time. You can't let your stepmother and nephews live on the streets, right?

And your eldest brother is muddle-headed, depressed and decadent all the time, and no longer resembles a human being.

Please, for your father's sake, help your eldest brother and nephews. I don't mind sleeping on the street, but I can't bear to see your eldest brother and two grandsons suffer like this. As a member of the Yu family, you can't just stand by and watch.

The old lady is really a good singer and songwriter.

This caused a lot of discussion among passers-by.

Passerby A: "The Emperor governs the world with filial piety, and this illegitimate son must also respect his legitimate mother. Since he has the ability, he should indeed help. He can't just care about his own happiness and ignore his family."

Passerby B: "That being said, do you know whose house this is?"

Passerby A: "Tell me, who's this?"

Passerby B: "This is the biological father of the Princess Zhenguo, who just returned to the capital. He was formerly the Second Master of the Yong'an Marquisate, but he was only born out of wedlock. My family happens to live next door to where they used to live, so I know a thing or two about him."

Mr. Yu Er had a good chance of studying, but the old lady of the Bo's Mansion did not allow him to study and only gave him the menial work in the mansion, and he did this for twenty years.

It was not until the daughter of the second branch of the Yu family was tricked into marrying off to the eldest son of Prince Rong's mansion that the family was divided after she returned home and used this as a threat.

It was agreed that the two families would not have any dealings with each other.

Not long ago, the affairs of the Third Prince implicated the Yong'an Earl's Mansion, stripped him of his title, and confiscated his property.

However, the Emperor, for the sake of Princess Zhenguo, did not sentence them to death, but only reduced them to ordinary citizens. Now they are so ignorant that they are actually harassing Master Yu.

Passerby A: "I see. But which legitimate mother doesn't suppress her illegitimate son in this way? This isn't surprising."

Passerby B: "You're right, but Madam Yu once threatened to kill herself, old uncle. That's a bit too much. Furthermore, the Zhenguo Princess has made such great contributions to the Great Wei. How could someone so valued by the Emperor deserve such humiliation?"

Yu Yunzhi listened to the discussions of passers-by and looked coldly at his stepmother in front of him.

It was this old woman who caused him to have the opportunity to pursue his own career only when he was in his thirties.

If his daughter had not suddenly become tough, he might still be enslaved by them.

"Old Madam, you may have forgotten that our second branch has long since separated from the Bo Mansion and established its own family. The rise and fall of the Bo Mansion has nothing to do with us."

Upon hearing this, Madam Yu's expression suddenly changed, and her voice became sharp. "Second Brother, what are you talking about? So what if we split up the family? You have the blood of the Yu family flowing in your veins. Now that we're in trouble, as your eldest brother's biological brother, are you really going to watch him die?"

Yu Yunzhi remained unmoved, her tone remaining calm: "Old Madam, when the family split up, you and my eldest brother didn't consider our Second Branch as your own family. Now that the Bo Mansion is in trouble, you finally think of us. Unfortunately, our Second Branch has already drawn a clear line with the Bo Mansion. You should find another way."

Madam Yu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Yu Yunzhi's nose and cursed, "You unfilial son, how dare you treat your stepmother like this? Aren't you afraid of being cursed by the whole world?"

Yu Yuanzheng heard it clearly in the carriage and sneered in his heart.

She felt her father was not good at arguing. She was not afraid of being criticized.

Her current status in the hearts of the people cannot be tarnished by such a small contradiction.

She lifted the curtain, slowly stepped down from the carriage, stood beside her father, and looked at Old Madam Yu with a cold gaze.

"Old Madam, you keep saying that my father is unfilial, but our second branch has already separated. When we separated, we agreed that each of us would live our own lives. During the New Year and other festivals, my father only needs to go to the uncle's house to kowtow to my grandfather and ancestors and burn incense.

Although my father was not in Beijing during these three years, my second brother never neglected him and fulfilled his filial duty on behalf of his father.

It has always been said that a mother is kind and a son is filial. You weren't kind to my father back then, so how can you have the nerve to ask my father to be filial to you? "

Old Madam Yu was choked by Yu Yuanzheng's words and didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson's wife behind her hurried forward to smooth things over: "Second uncle, second sister, the old lady is old and was anxious for a moment, so she spoke a little too radically.

Don't take it personally. We are truly desperate now, so please, Uncle, for the sake of being a fellow Yu family member, help us."

Yu Yuanzheng sneered, his tone sarcastic: "Hey, are you missing an arm or a leg?

Among the millions of people in the world, who doesn’t live a good life?

Can we only live a life of wealth and luxury?

You all have hands and feet, so why not find a job? Even if you can just carry bags at the docks, you can still support your family."
