[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Ten years ago, the reputation of Shun'an Marquis Mansion was not as bad as it is now.

At that time, although Yun Zhen, as the Marquis, was rumored to favor his concubine and neglect his wife, his eldest son Yun Hong was outstanding and brought a lot of good reputation to the Marquis' Mansion.

At that time, Yun Hong, who was only eighteen years old, was well-known in the aristocratic circles of the entire capital. He had a good character, a gentle temperament, a beautiful appearance, and outstanding talents. Even Emperor Taihe praised him personally as "a gentleman of integrity and gentle as jade."

At that time, Yun Hong was the best husband that countless noble ladies and daughters dreamed of. Even Zhang, the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor and a well-known "talented woman" among women, admired Yun Hong, a gentleman.

Because she had been brought up with strict family education, even though Zhang liked Yunhong at that time, she just kept her love hidden in her heart and never showed it to others. Naturally, she never thought of marrying Yunhong.

However, she didn't know since when, the grandfather who was always kind and amiable at home suddenly became gloomy and depressed, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her became extremely complicated.

Not long after that, she suddenly received an imperial decree granting her marriage to Yun Hong.

At that moment, although she was shocked and stunned, she felt more joy and excitement, and felt that everything was like a dream.

The thing she never dared to dream of actually became a reality.

She began to prepare for her wedding with great joy, and every day was as sweet as if she were soaked in honey.

Until the eve of her marriage, her grandfather came to see her alone and told her cruelly: Emperor Taihe suspected that the Shun'an Marquisate was plotting treason, and after she got married, she must find evidence of the Shun'an Marquisate's treason.

At that moment, Zhang felt like the sky had fallen on her.

She wished she could die immediately and was willing to face such a cruel reality.

However, the determination engraved in her bones allowed her to endure the pain in her heart, complete the wedding, and successfully marry into the Shun'an Marquis Mansion.

After marriage, Yun Hong was very caring and considerate to her. When he saw that she was in a bad mood, he would accompany her to go out and play, and when he returned from work, he would bring her all kinds of snacks and gadgets. When he saw that she was worried, he would gently comfort her and tell her about his ambition to revitalize the mansion. Even when she frowned, Yun Hong would ask her with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?" ...

One year after their marriage, Yun Hong's tenderness and affection made Zhang, who was already fond of him, completely fall for him.

They were in love with each other, confiding their innermost feelings to each other. They lived in harmony with each other, loving each other and making others envious.

Soon, Zhang became pregnant. Everyone in the mansion was looking forward to the birth of the child with great joy. Zhang was also so happy that she forgot everything else.

However, as the baby grew older, Zhang's mood began to get worse and worse, and the secret deep in her heart began to emerge uncontrollably.

She married into the Marquis' Mansion and married Yun Hong with a purpose!

If one day Yun Hong knew the reason why she married him, would he still love her like this? Would the Marquisate still treat her well like it does now? Would it treat her children well?

When the truth comes out, will the happiness before our eyes disappear like bubbles?

Fear spread in Zhang's heart like poison.

It was not until a month before the birth of the child that Zhang finally made up her mind. She wanted to take a gamble that Du Yunhong's love for her was not false and that his love for her could eliminate her concealment and deception.

She didn't want her baby to be born with deception. Her child should have a perfect life.

Finally, she told Yun Hong the truth.

She told him about Emperor Taihe's suspicion of Shun'an Marquis's Mansion. She told him that the purpose of her marriage was to find evidence of Shun'an Marquis's conspiracy. She also told him that she actually did nothing because she loved him and was willing to believe him and the Marquis' Mansion.

As it turned out, she lost the bet.

It was the first time that Yun Hong was furious, the first time that he roared at the top of his lungs, the first time that he smashed objects in anger, and the first time that he burst into tears in front of her.

She could never forget the heartbroken look in Yunhong's eyes when he looked at her.

Yun Hong left the house that night, and three days later he received the emperor's order to leave Beijing for his mission.

At that time, Zhang was still questioning whether Yun Hong's deep affection for her was fake, and whether her feelings were misplaced. She never thought that Yun Hong's departure would be a farewell between life and death.

When the news of Yunhong's accidental death came, Zhang was struck by lightning. All love affairs, truth and falsehood became insignificant.

All that was left in her heart was endless self-blame and regret.

If she hadn't told those things, Yunhong wouldn't have run away from home, and the accident wouldn't have happened!

Or maybe, if she had told the truth at the beginning of their marriage, when their feelings were not yet deep, perhaps even if they could not live a loving life together, at least Yun Hong would not have died.

So, when Rong later took her out on her with anger, criticism, coldness and neglect, she endured it all silently.

Compared to causing Rong to lose her son, the punishment she received was insignificant to her.

What's more, apart from the verbal abuse she said during the initial period, Rong had never really treated her harshly.

Therefore, she never hated Rong and never let her son resent anything.

She suffered day and night, keeping the secret in her heart, just to raise her son to adulthood.

Zhang slowly told the story of what happened. After so many years, Zhang still felt guilty about Yun Hong's death, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, my husband wouldn't have died."

Zhang burst into tears.

Yun Ye held Zhang's hand tightly, silently giving her comfort and strength.

Rong Enqing sighed deeply, "It's not your fault. If you really want to blame someone, maybe I should be blamed."

Zhang and Yun Ye both looked up at her.

"Your words only made Yun Ye leave home, and the letters I sent one after another to urge him to return home were the main reason why he was in a hurry to travel and got into an accident. So, Zhang, don't blame yourself for this anymore."

Zhang looked at Rong Enqing in disbelief, and her tearful eyes slowly became more moved. That selfish Rong was actually comforting her and making excuses for her! ?

"Mother!" Zhang's heart was full of complicated feelings, "I married into the Marquis' Mansion with a purpose..."

Rong Enqing didn't wait for her to speak, and interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "Let the past be the past. No matter what your purpose was when you married into this family, and no matter what role the Zhang family played in it, I only want one thing from you now. If one day in the future, you have to choose between Yun Ye and the Zhang family, who will you choose?"

Rong Enqing looked straight into Zhang's eyes without allowing any escape. Yun Ye's expression tightened and he unconsciously held Zhang's small hand tighter.

Zhang felt her son's nervousness, patted his hand gently, raised her head, looked back at Rong Enqing without blinking, and said firmly: "I choose Yun Ye."

As soon as Zhang finished speaking, Yun Ye threw himself into Zhang's arms in surprise, and the word "mother" was filled with thousands of words.

Rong Enqing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth at Zhang's powerful words.

The uncertain factor Zhang finally became one of our own!

Just when Rong Enqing was excited about this, she suddenly saw the familiar and kind reminder appearing in front of her and above Zhang's head at the same time: Causal value +5000!!!

The corner of Rong Enqing's mouth, which was raised, instantly split into a bloody mouth.

So many, so many, so many!!!

Oh my god! Who can tell her where these 5000 karma points came from?

What kind of causal connection does Zhang have with her?

Moreover, this causal value is too inexplicable, isn’t it?

Zhang had never plotted against her, and she had never punished Zhang, right? What was the reason for this sudden 5000 karma points?

荣恩清一时想不通其中关窍。但是有一点她还是清楚地，那就是5000点因果值就意味着500天寿命！加上之前的169天，总共1年零304天。

If she continues like this, she will soon be able to pay off the ten years of her life that she owes Yun Ye.

Rong Enqing was ecstatically thinking about his little abacus in his mind, when he saw Zhang and Yun Ye looking at him strangely.

Rong Enqing quickly put away the exaggerated expression on his face due to surprise, and said seriously: "Zhang, since you have firmly chosen Yun Ye, now we are a united front.

"From now on, we must unite as one and protect Yun Ye and the Hou Mansion. Only when Yun Ye and the Hou Mansion are well, can we live well."

Zhang let go of Yun Ye, stood up, bowed to Rong En Qingfu, and then said solemnly: "Mother is right. From now on, your daughter-in-law will only live for Yun Ye and will never have any other thoughts." The Zhang family could not stop her determination to protect her son.

Seeing his grandmother and mother being so serious, Yun Ye immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to them. He said with a firm look in his eyes: "I will also protect my grandmother, my mother, and the Shun'an Marquis' Mansion!"

At this moment, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren finally had a common goal.

Rong Enqing nodded with satisfaction and waved. Zhang understood and quickly helped the child up from the ground. Rong Enqing said, "From now on, we should discuss everything together. It's best not to hide anything to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. We must not leave opportunities for outsiders to sow discord."

Yun Ye nodded.

Zhang looked at Rong Enqing hesitantly, paused, and then said, "Since mother has said so, please forgive me for being rude, but I dare to ask, is the little girl brought back to the mansion by housekeeper Li some time ago your husband's flesh and blood who was away from home?"

After saying this, Yun Ye looked at Zhang in shock. But Zhang's eyes were fixed on Rong Enqing, without blinking, as if she was afraid to miss the slightest change in Rong Enqing's expression.

Rong Enqing was stunned, and it took him a long time to remember who Zhang was talking about.

"Why do you think so?" Rong Enqing couldn't help laughing, "How could that little girl be Yun Hong's illegitimate daughter?"

Zhang's face lit up with joy, then blushed again, and she explained awkwardly, "My daughter-in-law heard that the little girl claimed to be the daughter of the prince of Shun'an Marquis's mansion. Moreover, my mother had personally visited her, and asked Butler Li to hire a doctor for her mother, and also arranged a new place for them to live. So..."

Rong Enqing interrupted Zhang with a smile, "I know what you are thinking. Why don't you ask how old the girl is?"

Zhang's face became more and more embarrassed. "Although people who have seen the little girl said that she looked about five or six years old, my daughter-in-law thought that was because her family was poor, so she was thin and frail, and looked younger than she has been in the past ten years. It seems that my daughter-in-law misunderstood."

Rong Enqing waved his hand indifferently, "It's not your fault. It's my fault that I didn't explain the matter of the child to you clearly earlier. The child is from the second wife. But..."

Rong Enqing paused and said hesitantly, "I liked her the first time I saw her. I really want to take her back home and keep her by my side."

After hearing this, Zhang and Yun Ye both frowned slightly.

The Marquis' Mansion is now in a bad reputation, and there is no capable man in the mansion. Emperor Taihe is suspicious and wary of the mansion, and no one knows how many people are watching the mansion outside.

It is not too much to say that the Shun'an Marquis Mansion is in a precarious situation now.

At this time, it is naturally better to have less trouble than more.

What's more, although the second branch lost its title and was separated from the Marquis' Mansion, it does not mean that they have really given up on the title.

Once the daughter of the second wife is raised in the marquis's mansion, or raised by Rong Enqing, it can be predicted that the troubles from the second wife will definitely continue in the future.

Yun Ye thought through the pros and cons and was about to speak when Zhang said, "Mother wants to keep this granddaughter by her side, and I shouldn't say anything. But this granddaughter can be from the third or fourth room, but definitely not from the second room."

In order to speak her words before her son, Zhang spoke anxiously and with a firm tone.

At this point, she squatted down deeply and bowed to Rong Enqing, "Please forgive my unfilial behavior. I had never thought of letting Yun Ye inherit the Marquis's Mansion, but now that he has become the young marquis, I can only do my best to protect him.

"Everyone knows what the Second House is thinking. Since mother decisively drove them out, we shouldn't let them get close to her now. Please think twice."

Rong Enqing knew this truth very well.

But, she needs Yunluo!

In the long run, Yunluo is the heroine, the golden thigh that guarantees the lives of all of them!

She didn't forget that this was an old "heroine inspirational novel"! Therefore, the heroine must be the ultimate winner in the end! With such a big golden leg, she must hug it early, right?

To put it simply, Yunluo can easily and quickly increase a large amount of causal value for her!

With the karma value, she can pay off her debt quickly!

Thinking of this, Rong Enqing looked above Yun Ye's head, and soon, the following words appeared out of thin air: 2 years and 151 days.

Since the activation of the Causal Scroll, she can check the countdown above Yun Ye and herself anytime and anywhere, without limit. Unlike at the beginning, she could only see it once a day and had to wait until the next day to see it again.

After thinking for a while, she opened the causal scroll and exchanged the 5000 causal points she had just obtained for life. The moment the exchange was completed, the number above Yun Ye's head changed to 3 years and 286 days.

After paying off her debt, she will also increase her lifespan. Therefore, the more karma value she has, the better.

In this situation, even though she knew that keeping Yun Luo by her side would bring a lot of trouble and would go against her original intention of living a peaceful life, she still had to do it.
