Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

Although Yu Miaoyi was not seriously injured, some people had a hard time after this incident.

As soon as An Yuanhou came back, he heard that Yu Miaoyi was captured by a monster, and it was because of Lu Jin.

"Kneel down." Marquis Anyuan brought Lu Jin to the ancestral hall. He wanted to give this rebellious son a good lesson today.

Lu Jin was somewhat unwilling to accept it, but in the end he was still afraid of his father, so he knelt down silently.

"Princess Yun'an was injured because of you, do you know you were wrong?" Marquis Anyuan glanced at Lu Jin.

Lu Jin sneered in his heart. Wasn’t it Yu Miaoyi who was running around because he was injured?

"I'm not wrong." He would never admit his mistake in this matter. "I also want to break off the engagement with her."

"Pah!" An Yuanhou slapped Lu Jin hard, "You rebellious son, if you hadn't said such harsh words, would she have left?"

Lu Jin's cheeks turned red instantly, and his ears seemed to be covered by a layer of water film, so he could not hear any sound clearly.

He simply stood up and said in a cold tone: "Dad, don't think I don't know what you think. If you really like her, then you can marry her yourself."

"What did you say?" An Yuanhou was stunned. His hands were shaking with anger. He couldn't believe that his son would say such a thing.

Lu Jin's eyes were red. He was going to expose his father's dirty thoughts today: "In the second compartment of the study cabinet, there is a painting. It's of Yu Miaoyi."

A year ago, he went to his father's study to look for books and was attracted by a box. Driven by curiosity, he quietly opened the box and unexpectedly found a painting like that inside.

He didn't expect that his father actually coveted his fiancée. It was so disgusting that he couldn't stand it.

An Yuanhou's expression quickly turned pale, and his voice became low, as if he was talking to himself: "It's not Yu Miaoyi, she is..."

He staggered to the study, took out the painting, returned to the ancestral hall, and unfolded the painting to show Lu Jin.

"Look carefully for me, is she Yu Miaoyi?"

Only today did he understand why Lu Jin's attitude towards this marriage suddenly changed a year ago. He didn't expect it to be such a misunderstanding.

Lu Jin took the painting and looked at it carefully.

I was too nervous before and just took a quick look.

Only now did he realize that although the woman in the painting looked somewhat similar to Yu Miaoyi, they were not the same person.

Although the woman in the painting looks only about eighteen years old, she has her hair in a bun like a married woman, and there is a teardrop mole under her right eye.

Yu Miaoyi does not have any of these characteristics.

Lu Jin was like a fighting cock that had lost its fighting spirit, instantly wilting: "Dad, who is she?"

An Yuanhou's tone softened: "She is Princess Huimin, your biological mother."

Lu Jin was not a legitimate son, but was born to a concubine. However, in the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion, he had never heard that his father had a legal wife.

He always thought that his mother's status was too low to be the legal wife, and his father, out of pity for his mother, made the position of legal wife a figurative one.

I didn't expect this to be the case, but why did no one ever mention it to him?

Lu Jin frowned. No wonder Yu Miaoyi looked so much like the woman in the painting.

Yu Miaoyi's mothers, Princess Jiamin and Princess Huimin, were twins.

An Yuanhou patted his son's shoulder and said, "I asked you to marry Princess Yun'an because she is a good girl, and you liked her very much when you were a child, didn't you?"

Lu Jin froze. He had someone he liked.

The moment he met Gu Qianmeng again, he fell in love with her uncontrollably. This feeling was stronger than ever before, and he wanted to confess to his father.

"Dad, I like another woman."

An Yuanhou sighed. He didn't want his son to follow in his footsteps. "Have you thought it through?"

"I did like Yu Miaoyi." Lu Jin lowered his head, "But when Gu...she appeared, I realized that she was the one I really liked."

An Yuanhou looked at his grown-up son and whispered, "You decide for yourself. Just don't regret it."

The next day, Yu Miaoyi woke up. After washing up, she went to find Prince Yongping. She wanted to cancel her engagement with Lu Jin.

Prince Yongping had exactly this in mind, and the two of them took a carriage to the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion.

Arriving at the front hall, Prince Yongping straightened his robes, sat directly at the head of the hall, and said sternly, "Lu Yan, do you know why I came here today?"

"It's really because of Lu Jin that he let Miaoyi down." Marquis Anyuan smiled apologetically.

Then he shouted at Lu Jin, "Why don't you come over and apologize to your uncle Yu and sister Miaoyi?"

Lu Jin immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I'm sorry, Uncle Yu. I made a mistake. I hope you can forgive me."

He bowed to Yu Miaoyi again and said softly, "I wonder if Sister Miaoyi can spare me a moment to talk."

Yu Miaoyi walked out with a cold expression.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Yu Miaoyi didn't want to pretend to be a lady in front of Lu Jin anymore.

Lu Jin was silent for a while, then said seriously, "I'm sorry, Sister Miaoyi."

Yu Miaoyi paused and looked at him coldly: "Sir, please call me Princess Yun'an!"

I haven't called her "sister Miaoyi" for a hundred years, and it feels awkward to hear it now.

She walked to the pavilion in the lake, sat down, and looked at the boy in front of her whom she had liked for several years, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Thinking back to when Lu Jin once said he liked dignified and quiet girls, she restrained her nature and learned to be a dignified girl.

She even dragged her father into pretending with her, which, thinking about it now, is really ridiculous.

Yu Miaoyi continued, "My father should be discussing the cancellation of the engagement with Uncle Lu. From today on, we have no relationship anymore."

Lu Jin moved his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

Yu Miaoyi stopped looking at him and turned to go to the front hall to find Prince Yongping and go home.

"Daddy, it's been really hard for you these past few years." Yu Miaoyi hugged Prince Yongping's arm and acted coquettishly.

Prince Yongping pretended to be so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "It's good that you know. Your father was born a military general, and you always have to drag him to pretend to be a scholar. How hard it is."

Before they had spoken a few words, the carriage had already arrived at Prince Yongping's Palace.

Hearing that Shen Zhaozhao and Chu Yu were going to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow, Prince Yongping decided to host a banquet tonight to entertain them.

"Do you think Prince Yongping and his daughter are weird?" Shen Zhaozhao asked Chu Yu secretly.

Prince Yongping and Yu Miaoyi sat lazily on the stools, completely different from the first time the banquet was held.

Chu Yu looked over there, then looked at Shen Zhaozhao: "Why are you keeping your back so straight?"

After hearing Chu Yu's words, she realized that her back was tense, and she quickly relaxed it, fearing that she would get back pain later.

Maybe it was the aftereffect of the last meal. Whenever she ate with Prince Yongping and his daughter, she wanted to straighten her back and felt her brain was a little fuzzy.

"You two will be heading to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow. I wish you all the best and a speedy return." King Yongping sincerely admired these monks who were eliminating harm for the people.

"Are you leaving now?" Yu Miaoyi looked a little depressed.

Shen Zhaozhao saw that she was reluctant to leave, and grinned: "I will come back after I finish my work."

Prince Yongping also rubbed his daughter's hair to comfort her.

Seeing how warmly the father and daughter of Prince Yongping got along, Shen Zhaozhao had a flash of doubt in his heart:

Why did the extremely noble Princess Yun'an leave her hometown in her previous life and travel around the world with the protagonists alone?

Prince Yongping would not be willing to let his daughter wander around.

To be honest, she was quite envious of Yu Miaoyi because everyone liked this Princess Yun'an.

"Junior brother, do you miss your parents?" Shen Zhaozhao tilted her head and asked Chu Yu. She missed her father and mother very much right now.

Chu Yu's eyes darkened, and his voice was as cold as ice: "I don't have parents."

How can there be no parents? Shen Zhaozhao probed: "Then do you know the mute aunt named Wei in the back mountain?"

Chu Yu laughed and said, "Senior Sister, the back mountain is where the disciples who are punished go. I have only been in Qingwei Sect for three years. How could I know any Auntie Mute?"
