Shouldn’t the returning son come to pay respects to his mother?
"The third master and the eldest and second masters are talking in the hall!"
Old Madam Yun laughed, "Never mind, I will go to the hall to see him!"
Now, both her eldest and second sons barely paid her any mind. She did not dare to act up and could only hope that her third son would treat her better.
The three brothers remained silent.
Yun Bi didn’t speak, Yun Qi didn’t speak, and Yun Chen said a few words, which no one paid any attention to.
Everyone knew that with Yun Bi’s return this time, his official position would certainly rise. The Left Chancellor and Right Chancellor had recently fallen out of favor with the Emperor, who planned to make an example by demoting one of them.
So, the vacant position was highly likely to be filled by Yun Bi.
"Third brother is back!" Mrs. He entered the hall with a smile.
Yun Bi stood up and slightly bowed, "Sister-in-law!"
"No need for formalities, third brother. Your courtyard is being cleaned up, it will be ready soon. But do you not have a family?" Mrs. He asked with confusion.
Over the years, Yun Bi had scarcely sent letters home and never mentioned if he had married.
"Sister-in-law, I have not married yet!"
He was waiting, waiting for that person, even if it took a lifetime.
Even though he had no descendants in name, he had a son. Though the child bore the surname Han, he was still his son.
Moreover, the child was extremely smart, far exceeding his peers.
He was very fond of him.
Mrs. He was immensely shocked.
Over thirty and still not married?
"Yun Bi!" Mrs. Han called softly from the doorway of the hall.
Yun Bi turned to look.
Unlike her free-spirited past, the current Mrs. Han was gentle, kind, and warm.
Her appearance hadn’t changed, but the feeling she gave others was completely different.
Yun Bi knew the reason why Mrs. Han had changed , and his heart ached deeply.
Looking at Mrs. Han, he smiled, "Shu Niang!"
Just like when they were young.
As if that humiliating incident of being caught in the act had never happened.
But everyone understood, it could never be forgotten.
"Third Master is back!" Mrs. Han corrected herself.
Yun Bi felt bitterly disappointed in his heart but still smiled, "Second sister-in-law, long time no see, I hope you have been well!"
She said it lightly, but to change a person’s disposition completely, how could all be well?
"That’s good to hear!" Yun Bi said, averting his gaze.
Mrs. Han walked over to Yun Qi and sat beside him, "Second Master!"
"Hmm," Yun Qi responded.
His heart full of jealousy and resentment.
Watching as Old Madam Yun, supported by a group of maids and matrons, walked over.
Yun Qi squinted his eyes.
That was his mother, yet she had cruelly destroyed his happiness, mistreated his daughter, and enjoyed wealth and honor, self-centered and selfish to the point of being detestable and nauseating.
Old Madam Yun called out, walking to Yun Bi and bursting into tears.
Seeing her crying, Yun Bi took a deep breath and reached out to help her up, "Mother!"
"Bi’er, you are finally back. Why haven’t we heard any news from you all these years!" Old Madam Yun said, sobbing even more sorrowfully.
Suppressing the hatred and resentment in his heart, Yun Bi finally said, "Mother, now that I am back, don’t cry. Take care not to hurt your eyes!"
Then he looked to the maid at the side, "Help the old lady to sit down!"
It is said that the bystander sees more clearly than the person involved. At this moment, Ming Liu inexplicably felt that this family was very strange.
Truly a case of the son not being a son, the mother not being a mother, the elder not being an elder, and the younger not being the younger.
He stepped forward to help Old Madam Yun to the main seat to sit down.
Ming Liu could feel the stiffness and trembling of Old Madam Yun’s body.
