Chapter 23

All he could see was a young man with large eyes and bushy eyebrows enter with long strides . He knelt down on one knee in front of Xu w.a.n.g: “I, Hu Military Academy Officer Yu Weiwu, pay my respects to Lord Xu . ”

Xu w.a.n.g smiled a bit as if he felt what was going on in front of his eyes was getting more and more interesting .

“Rise . You’re a Hu Military Academy Officer? You don’t look like it!”

Yu Weiwu’s face froze . The Xu w.a.n.g from this legend was still sloppy . Well, how can you judge someone’s occupation off of their appearance?

But this certainly shouldn’t be said in front of Xu w.a.n.g . Yu Weiwu stood up and said politely, “I wouldn’t dare . I heard something happened at home, so I just requested a leave of absence to come back and see . ”

Yes, something big happened, his own mother was beaten black and blue, and in the capital, the most difficult Xu w.a.n.g also oversaw his home . Was he still be in the mood to be a manservant?

Mu s.h.i.+, whose hair was being pulled by Yu Linglong, saw Yu Weiwu return and immediately, like seeing a savior, pulled some strength out of nowhere and threw off Yu Linglong and then pounced over . “Weiwu, you finally returned!”

Yu Linglong looked at this young man who stood in front of her and gave him a once over . Yu Weiwu? How could she not find this person in her memory?

But seeing Mu s.h.i.+ was pleasantly surprised, Yu Linglong could also guess that he could make Mu s.h.i.+ as happy as eating chicken dropping candy . It must be her son then .

Yu Linglong’s guess wasn’t wrong; he really was the Yu family’s first wife’s eldest son . Mu s.h.i.+’s own son Yu Weiwu was now barely nineteen . He had studied martial arts from a young age, and also carried general Yu’s military glory . Nowadays in Beijing, he was an eighth rank Hu military academy officer . He spent his days on duty in the Hu military and rarely had free time to return home . This morning, Mu s.h.i.+ had sent a notice to him that there was something going on at home, and when he requested a leave of absence he hurried back .

Outside of General Yu’s military campaign, even though Yu Weiwu was the backbone of the home, as soon as he heard of Xu w.a.n.g’s arrival, he naturally rushed back to see him .

Xu w.a.n.g closed the fan in his hand, with a pair of eyes like black jade appeared to smile but did not . “You came back just in time, I was worried that your household didn’t have anyone in charge, and my horse won’t be returned . ”

Yu Weiwu had just come back and the situation in front of him wasn’t quite clear . When he heard this he couldn’t help but be baffled . Mu s.h.i.+ hurriedly said, “Weiwu, it’s…it’s Fourth Sister who offended Master Xu w.a.n.g . She brought Master w.a.n.g’s horse to our house . ”

Fourth Sister? Yu Weiwu’s brow wrinkled and his gaze dropped to Yu Linglong .

He saw this concubine who he hadn’t met before standing in the center of the hall . From head to toe, her brilliant red spring jacked reflected her soft flesh, just like a graceful and beautiful hibiscus . Now, she looked coldly at his examining gaze, and her appearance seemed to be lacking the slightest amount of fear .

As the first wife’s eldest son, Yu Weiwu’s loftiness was naturally unlike other people’s . Now he saw in Yu Linglong’s face that she didn’t realize anything was wrong, and he immediately got angry . “Hurry up and bow down, admit your wrongs to Master w.a.n.g!”

Yu Linglong’s eyes swept him with a look of contempt . He really was his mother’s son . It wasn’t a black-and-white issue, he maintained that it was her fault . It really can’t be Master w.a.n.g’s doing? There’s no way he wanted her to be a pushover and makeup!

“What are you thinking, why are you making me kneel!?” She suddenly started yelling clear abuse at him, which shook Yu Weiwu dumbstruck .

Where did Yu Weiwu receive these kinds of insults before? He was the eldest son of the Yu household, and an official . His younger siblings respected and feared him, how dare this new concubine open her mouth and scold him!?

“You—“ Yu Weiwu wanted to open his mouth and lecture Yu Linglong, but at his side, Mu s.h.i.+ hurriedly tugged at his jacket .

Mu s.h.i.+ meant that that girl Yu Linglong was not to be trifled with . She wanted to let him know that he shouldn’t act blindly without thinking, but Yu Weiwu misunderstood . On his side, he saw Xu w.a.n.g who was looking for excitement, and Yu Weiwu immediately thought that this family scandal shouldn’t get out . He forced the verbal abuse back into his mouth, turned his head, and commanded the outside manager: “Quick, bring Master w.a.n.g’s horse here!”

“Slow down!” Yu Linglong coldly said, “You can let Xu w.a.n.g bring the horse here, however, he must apologize to me!”

Apologize!?

The few people in the room were all stunned .
