Chapter 321: Is there a throne to inherit?
The woman behind her came forward and knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened and a servant came out. Seeing that it was a well-dressed woman, the servant asked, "What's the matter, ma'am?"
The woman commanded the servant in a somewhat arrogant manner, "Hurry up and report to your general that the old lady of your general's mansion is here."
The servant was stunned, "Madam? The general is not in the mansion today."
The woman said with a hint of authority: "What? Do you want your old lady to wait here?"
The servant looked at Liu behind him. There had never been any other master in the general's mansion, so he was not sure whether this was the old lady.
While they were hesitating, they heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance and they both looked over at the same time.
The servant's eyes lit up: "The general is back"
After saying that, he ran down the stairs. At this time, Wu Yu also arrived at the stairs on horseback. He jumped off the horse and threw the reins to the servant: "General, the lady said that the old lady is here."
Wu Yu frowned and was about to speak when he heard a voice coming from the carriage behind him: "Yu'er"
Then the woman at the door was seen walking to the carriage and helping Liu down.
Wu Yu was shocked, and hurried forward to support Liu, kneeling down and saying, "Mother, I am unfilial and made you travel thousands of miles to the capital."
When Liu saw Wu Yu kneeling down for her, she quickly pulled him up: "Yu'er, get up quickly, you can't do this!"
Wu Yu immediately stood up.
Seeing this, the servant was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and hurried over to kowtow: "My humble servant greets the old lady."
Liu: "Get up"
When the woman saw Wu Yu, she quickly saluted him and said, "I greet the general. I have brought the lady to safety. I will go back and report now."
Without waiting for Wu Yu to ask any questions, he turned around and got on the carriage.
Wu Yu watched the carriage go away without asking any more questions. He helped Liu into the house and told the servant to go to Youran Ju.
As soon as Xue Qing and Ding returned to the courtyard, Manager Chen came over and said, "Young Master, Young Master..."
Xue Qing turned around and saw a sweaty man running towards him: "Manager Chen, what happened?"
Shopkeeper Chen was a little out of breath, and he took a breath and said, "Sir, General Dingyuan is here to ask you and Madam Wu to come over quickly. There is something important to discuss."
Xue Qing and Ding looked at each other and said, "Okay, we'll go right away. Manager Chen, please prepare the car."
Shopkeeper Chen waved his hand and said, "The General's Mansion has arranged a carriage. You can get on and go."
In such a hurry, Xue Qing and Ding, followed by Jiang Yi, holding Wu Xiu and leading Wu Qian, rushed to the general's mansion.
"mother"
"mother"
"grandmother"
"grandmother"
Liu looked at Xue Qing and Ding excitedly. Ding's tears kept flowing: "Mother, why did you come to the capital without telling me? I searched all over Anyang City that day. I was so scared..."
Liu hugged Ding's shoulders and couldn't help shedding tears.
"Grandma, I miss you so much. Where have you been?" Wu Xiu asked aggrievedly while hugging Liu's legs.
Xue Qing touched her head and said, "Grandma missed your uncle, so she came to see him first."
Wu Xiu opened her tearful eyes and suddenly understood: "Oh, I miss my uncle too."
Only then did I remember, I looked around, and finally saw Wu Yu standing next to me: "Uncle, Xiu misses you too"
Wu Yu picked up Wu Xiu and said, "Good boy, Xiu!"
Wu Qian has already gone to school and is indeed much more stable than before. He stands quietly aside.
Xue Qing stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "Qian'er, you miss grandma and uncle too, right?"
Wu Qian nodded and said, "I miss my aunt too."
Xue Qing still felt a little touched, thinking that her love for him was not in vain.
After everyone calmed down, Liu said to Jiang Yi: "Miss Jiang, please take the two children to rest."
Jiang Yi agreed and took his two children to another courtyard following the servant serving outside the house.
Everyone knew that Liu was going to tell them how she came to the capital, so they all kept silent, waiting for Liu to speak.
Liu first asked Ding: "Did you come to the capital to look for Qing'er because you couldn't find me?"
When asked this question, Mrs. Ding's tears that had just stopped flowing started flowing again. After living in fear for so many days, it was not until she saw Xue Qing that she finally felt at peace.
Mrs. Ding choked up and said, "Well... I couldn't find my mother, and I was so flustered that I went to find Shopkeeper Xie. Shopkeeper Xie sent people to look for my mother everywhere, but they couldn't find her for several days, so he asked Brother Cheng to escort the three of us to the capital to find Qing'er..."
Liu nodded, her face full of pity: "I'm sorry for making you worry."
After a pause, he continued, "Today I will tell you how I came to the capital and what your father did. I believe you already know it."
Wu Yu and Xue Qing did not say anything, which was considered as tacit agreement. After all, whether such a thing was true or not, it would be bad for the reputation of the Liu family.
Liu continued, "Qing'er asked me before why I couldn't divorce Wu Tong. This matter is also related to it. Now that we don't need to divorce, Li asked Wu Tong to write me a letter of divorce."
"The reason is that Wu Yu is not Wu Tong's biological son."
Several people remained silent.
Liu looked at the expressions of several people and continued, "It is because of this matter that I tolerate Wu Tong..."
Looking at Wu Yu: "Yu'er, you are definitely not Wu Tong's biological son"
There was surprise in the eyes of several people. Although it was the first time because Li said this, they now thought that Li and Wu Tong were slandering Liu.
Liu seemed to have made a more important decision. Before she could finish her words, her eyes were red. "And... she is not my biological child."
When these words were spoken, the three of them were shocked.
Liu held back her tears and continued, "Yu's biological mother has long passed away. His father found out by chance and invited me to the capital."
Xue Qing looked towards Wu Yu and saw the expression on his face change from shock to relief. It only took a brief moment before he was relieved.
Ding opened her mouth in shock, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
Xue Qing realized that Liu just said that her mother was not at home, and her father found out by chance, so he invited her to the capital? What kind of person could "invite" her to the capital so quietly?
Xue Qing knew that Wu Yu’s biological father must be someone extraordinary.
"Then will he recognize Wu Yu?" Xue Qing asked.
Liu shook her head.
Xue Qing frowned: "He made such a big fuss, but he didn't acknowledge me."
He glanced at Wu Yu and then said something that shocked them: "Is it because he has many wives, concubines and children, and one more person would not be too much, so they are afraid that he will go back and inherit the family property?"
Liu raised her head, her eyes full of surprise.
Xue Qing suddenly laughed: "What a huge fortune! Could it be that there is a throne to inherit?"
"Qing'er, don't talk nonsense!" Liu scolded Xue Qing for the first time to hide her panic.
Something flashed through Xue Qing's mind for a moment, but he didn't catch it.
