Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder
Chapter 297: Ninghua Marquis's Concubine Turns Over
Although his half-brother had risen through the ranks, attaining the prestigious position of Grand Tutor, Yunlin, the legitimate son, always looked down on him. Furthermore, Yunlin even mercilessly belittled Yunhao in front of his friends, completely disregarding their brotherly love.
Despite his brother's cold reception, Yun Hao harbored no resentment. He had always remembered Aunt Su's teachings: to be humble and kind, and even more so to treat family members with kindness and tolerance. It was this open-mindedness that enabled him to forge many connections within the officialdom and earn the praise and respect of countless others.
As time went on, Xiao Yunhao's career flourished, and his position rose steadily. The Emperor, impressed by his outstanding achievements and noble character, issued an imperial decree to confer the title of First Rank Imperial Consort upon Su Lan. Despite his reluctance, Yun Xiao was forced to comply with the Emperor's will and officially elevated Concubine Su to his position as a co-wife.
This infuriated Yi Qinghui and her son to the point of rage! They racked their brains to find all sorts of excuses to harass the original owner, seemingly determined not to give up until they had cornered her. Even worse, when Yun Hao was away on official business, this vicious mother and son bludgeoned the original owner into death by falsely accusing her of having an affair with a man outside. They even planned to beat her to death with clubs on this trumped-up charge.
However, there's always a way out. At the critical moment, Yun Hao, like a divine being, rushed back to rescue his mother. Furious, he immediately decided to report the incident to the authorities, determined to bring the evil Yi Qinghui and her son to justice. But to his surprise, Yun Xiao and Old Madam Yun intervened, muttering things like, "Family disgrace shouldn't be aired in public." At that moment, Yun Hao finally saw through the ugly faces of these so-called relatives.
After careful consideration, Yun Hao resolutely made a fateful decision—to separate from the Yun family! Without hesitation, he and his wife, Su Lan, moved out of the Marquisate, a place rife with intrigue and deception. Although their future remained uncertain, at least they were safe from those with ulterior motives.
At first, Yun Lin and the rest of the Yun family didn't take it too seriously, thinking the loss of Yun Hao's family was insignificant. However, fate always likes to play tricks on people.
Soon after, tragic news arrived: Yun Hao's father, Yun Xiao, had tragically died heroically in a fierce battle against an enemy nation. With Yun Xiao's passing, the once bustling Ninghua Marquisate suddenly became deserted, with no one willing to set foot in this once glorious mansion anymore.
Moreover, Yunlin, who has always been pampered and uneducated, has limited abilities and is simply unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of a marquis, let alone go to the front line to fight in the battlefield in place of his father.
However, perhaps because of Yun Xiao's outstanding military achievements, the emperor finally showed leniency and retained Yun Lin's position as the crown prince. However, without the pillar of the family, the Yun family was doomed to decline.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. The once bustling and bustling Marquis' Mansion is now a desolate scene. First, Madam Yun passed away due to illness, and then Yi Qinghui also passed away. Only Yun Lin is left to support the entire Marquis' Mansion.
However, Yunlin had long been accustomed to a life of extravagance and extravagance. Over the years, he had squandered the family's wealth recklessly, not only spending all the money but also selling off all the farmland and properties under his name.
The servants who had once served the Marquis's family, seeing the mansion's decline, sought other opportunities, and their numbers gradually dwindled from over a hundred to just a handful. Eventually, even the cooks were sent home, leaving the vast mansion deserted and dreary.
Meanwhile, Yun Hao's fate was quite different. His exceptional talent and ability earned him the favor and respect of the newly enthroned emperor. He rose through the ranks, rising from Grand Tutor to Prime Minister, becoming a powerful figure at court.
Those who wanted to curry favor with the powerful naturally knew that Yun Hao and the Ninghua Yun family had already separated and severed ties, so they would never make the wrong choice when trying to curry favor with him. Not only that, they also made things difficult for the already downtrodden Yun Lin, taking advantage of his misfortune, in order to please Yun Hao, a popular and powerful official.
Facing the mockery and ruthless bullying, Yunlin was filled with resentment and humiliation. Seeing his half-brother, who was once of humble status, now enjoying such a glorious life, made him even more jealous.
Finally, on a sunny afternoon, Yun Lin did a surprising thing - he deliberately changed into the most respectable court robe and walked resolutely towards Prime Minister Yun's residence.
When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Yun Lin didn't hesitate at all and used all his strength to ram into the stone pillar.
With a loud bang, blood splattered everywhere, and Yun Lin fell to the ground dead on the spot. He ended his life in such a tragic way, with the purpose of discrediting Yun Hao, letting the world know that his brother had died tragically at his doorstep, and thus forcing the new emperor to hold Yun Hao accountable for his disloyalty and unfilial behavior.
But just after his death, fate favored him and gave him a chance to start over.
Yunlin, now only six years old, is no longer as innocent as he once was. In order to completely eliminate his elder brother Yunhao, who will become the powerful prime minister in the future, he meticulously devises a conspiracy.
It was a sunny day, a gentle breeze rippling the flowers and green leaves of the garden. Yunlin, feigning innocence, invited his nine-year-old brother, Yunhao, to play by the garden's pond. Unsuspecting, Yunhao readily agreed, and the two brothers, hand in hand, walked to the shimmering water's edge.
Taking advantage of Yun Hao's unpreparedness, Yun Lin suddenly gave him a strong push, causing Yun Hao to stumble and fall into the pool. Young Yun Hao, who couldn't swim, struggled desperately in the water and cried for help, while Yun Lin, standing on the shore, watched coldly as his big brother gradually sank to the bottom of the water until he lost all signs of life.
Afterwards, Yun Lin pretended to be terrified and innocent, and hurriedly ran to find the guards in the palace to rescue him. When they arrived, it was too late. The nine-year-old Yun Hao had been killed by the merciless pool water.
When the original owner learned of the tragic news of her beloved son's tragic death, she was overcome with grief and heartbroken. Unable to bear the crushing blow, she fainted on the spot. From then on, she fell ill, weeping constantly, and her body gradually withered away.
Seeing this, Yi Qinghui and her son were secretly delighted. They took the opportunity to gossip to the Marquis, falsely accusing the original owner and her deceased son of being doomed, bringing bad luck to the entire Marquisate. The simple-minded and superstitious Marquis believed their words without a doubt.
In addition, Yun Xiao has always been a man who dotes on his wife, so he immediately nodded and agreed to send the original owner to the family temple in order to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters for the whole family.
However, on the day the original owner set out for the ancestral temple, she encountered a group of vicious mountain bandits on the way. These bandits abducted the original owner to the mountain without explanation and subjected her to inhumane insults.
After waking up from physical and mental trauma, the original owner was completely desperate and resolutely chose to end his miserable life by hitting his head against the wall.
However, because her inner resentment was so deep, her soul did not dissipate and leave after death, but instead wandered freely in this world for a long time...
She watched Yunlin, who was only six years old, holding a heavy bag of silver tightly in his little hands, and in a childish but firm voice, he ordered the bandits who had tarnished her innocence to throw her lifeless body into the back mountain to feed the hungry wolves.
At that moment, her heart seemed to be torn into countless pieces, and endless sorrow and despair surged into her heart like a tide. It turned out that all this was the work of the young master.
