A dream ends life

Yu Cai dodged Yu Luohan's palm, turned around, drew the long sword at her waist, and slashed towards Yu Luohan.

The two men fought in the lobby of the shop, and a lot of the goods on the counter were destroyed by them.

At this moment, a figure appeared between the two of them and separated them with one hand. Yu Luohan and Yu Qia both took a few steps back before they could see who was coming.

Chang Feng stood between the two of them, one hand behind his back, his eyes sharp.

"If you two want to fight, please leave here." The voice was emotionless.

The shopkeeper came up quickly and clasped his fists: "Boss, you're back."

Chang Feng nodded slightly. The shopkeeper explained the whole story to him in a low voice. Chang Feng looked up at Yu Luohan.

"May I ask, Master Taifu, where is my wife now? Please ask my wife to come out and solve today's matter."

Yu Luohan met Chang Feng's provocative gaze and pursed his lips. Although Su Ci fell into the water that day and it had nothing to do with him, he didn't think he had done anything wrong. He was still a little out of breath.

These past few days he had been telling himself that what he did was right. Wu Peiyi was the empress dowager and of noble status, so as a subject he naturally had to save Wu Peiyi first.

Su Ci could only say that she was unlucky and didn't wait for him to come back to save her.

Yu Luohan didn't say anything, but Yu Cai beside him spoke up, "On the day your wife entered the palace, she fell into the river in the Imperial Garden at the same time as the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was protected by the Grand Tutor, but your wife was not as lucky as the Queen Mother. Now she is missing, alive or dead. How pitiful!"

Chang Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Luohan: "Master Taifu, is what this girl said true?"

Yu Luohan: "So what? The Queen Mother is of noble status. As a subject, I naturally have to put the Queen Mother's safety first."

Chang Feng looked at Yu Luohan's matter-of-fact look and clenched his fists. "The Queen Mother has so many ministers. Even without you, there are still countless people who would lead by example. But my wife only relies on you as her husband. Therefore, the Grand Tutor deliberately put my wife to death!"

Yu Luohan's face changed, and the self-assured look he had just shown was shattered by Chang Feng's words.

The pain in his heart made his face pale, his legs went weak, and he put his hands on his chest with a look of pain on his face.

No, it was not like that. He did it for the sake of the Dongyong country, for the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, and for not making the little emperor sad.

This is what he told himself during these sleepless nights.

Yu Luohan's eyes were red, and his usually calm face showed pain and madness.

Among the people present, except Xu and Liu Zhenzhen who had looks of heartache, the rest of the people all looked disdainful.

He has lost everyone, why pretend to be affectionate? No one will believe it except himself!

Xu shouted at them angrily, "My Han'er did nothing wrong. Without a country, there is no home. As a subject, he must be loyal to the king. What did he do wrong?"

The veins on Chang Feng's forehead were exposed. "Since when did a woman from the harem become the monarch of Dongyong? Yu Luohan, you are really disgusting. Not only do you kowtow to a woman, but you also make your dirty thoughts sound justified!"

Yu Luohan's clenched fist trembled slightly. No, no!

At this time, the people watching the excitement around began to whisper.

"When I went to the teahouse yesterday to drink tea, I heard the storyteller tell a story of unrequited love. It was about the love-hate relationship between the son of the Yu family and the daughter of the Wu family. The two were childhood sweethearts, and they were inseparable. Unfortunately, they each got married. The people present at the time sighed that fate was playing tricks on them. Now that I think about it, isn't this the story of Master Yu?"

"Yes, yes! I was there yesterday too. The man's surname was Yu and the woman's surname was Wu. They were in love, but their parents' orders and matchmakers' words separated the two lovers. Later, the Yu family's son worked hard, passed the imperial examination, and finally became an official. The Wu family's daughter was a noble concubine, loved by all the emperors. The prince born to the Wu family's daughter ascended the throne and the Yu family's son assisted the wise emperor with all his strength, which became a story that will be passed down through the ages."

"So, doesn't that mean that Imperial Tutor Yu really had something going on with that person in the palace? Mom, then didn't the Madam Imperial Tutor they were talking about just now die unjustly?"

"Hey! I heard that the two of them met when they were in humble beginnings. Madam Su helped Taifu rise to such a high position. As a result, Taifu became a high-ranking official, but Madam Su was murdered right under his nose. How did the storyteller come up with this?"

"When the birds are gone, hide your bow!"

"Yes! That's what I mean, but it doesn't seem quite accurate."

"It's all the same thing, a man! Getting promoted, getting rich, and having a wife die are the three great joys in life. Master Yu is also a man, so it's not surprising that he would do this."…

These people did not deliberately lower their voices, and although they were not loud, everyone in the room who should have heard them could hear them.

Yu Luohan's face was pale and his eyes were terribly red, but the law did not punish everyone, so those people did not deserve the death penalty.

Mrs. Xu glared at the people outside the door. "A village woman like Mrs. Su is not worthy of my son. My son has done his best for her by giving her the position of wife. There is nothing we can do about her getting into trouble. We can only blame her for being unlucky and unable to bear such overwhelming wealth. This is her fate."

"Bah! Your son is so precious, why did he marry someone back then? Wouldn't it be better if he just married a noble lady from an aristocratic family? In the end, it's because his status is different and he looks down on her. This is not a matter of status, it's clearly a matter of low character and indifference!"

A hunchbacked old woman spit at Xu, and her saliva was about to spray over the door and onto Xu's face.

Mrs. Xu was very dissatisfied with the scolding and wanted to scold the old woman back, but when she saw those people looking at her with contempt, she stopped talking involuntarily.

"Han'er!" Xu felt Yu Luohan trembling and called out a little worriedly.

The eldest princess looked at Yu Luohan with disdain in her heart. How could a man like this get to such a high position? He is so indecisive!

"Please listen to me, everyone!" Chunshui walked in slowly from outside the door, holding a tray in his hand.

"Taifu Yu and my wife did not have a marriage certificate, nor did we have the six ceremonies. My wife had a severe head injury at the time, and she could not remember her life experience when she woke up. Taifu Yu took advantage of her and lied to her that she was his wife in the name of her husband. My wife then became his nominal wife, cooking for him, working hard to build his family business, and making his future bright. But in the end, they abandoned her like a worn-out shoe and killed her several times! It's a pity that my wife was deceived so badly. It's hateful that those conscienceless people stepped on my wife and enjoyed everything with peace of mind. Sooner or later, they will be struck by lightning and get retribution!"

Chunshui had tears in her eyes and choked up as she spoke about how Su Ci was deceived by Yu Luohan, how she was nearly killed many times, and how she lost her child.

Finally, he grabbed the papers on the tray in his hand and threw them towards the crowd! People rushed to grab the papers!
