Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 313: The Concubine of Ninghua Marquis Mansion Turns Over

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window lattice. As usual, the nun went to wake Yi Qinghui and prepare her for the day's work. However, when she gently pushed open the door and saw the stiff body on the bed, she couldn't help but gasp.

For a moment, the entire ancestral temple was plunged into chaos and shock. Everyone speculated about the cause of Yi Qinghui's death, with most believing she had chosen suicide because she could no longer endure the harsh life and inner despair in the ancestral temple. After all, many women in the ancestral temple struggled to endure such difficult times.

This news quickly reached the Marquis' Mansion, but it didn't cause the slightest ripple. Yun Xiao, though feeling a tinge of guilt, only lasted two days, and he never again thought of the woman he had personally proposed to in marriage in his youth. Perhaps now, he was completely immersed in his new life and affairs.

As for Yun Lin, since he had the old lady as his solid backing, he was even more indifferent to his biological mother's death. Not only that, in order to ensure his own future of wealth and nobility, he did not hesitate to set aside his dignity and changed his words to call Su Lan "mother."

In order to please Su Lan, Yun Lin said to the servants in his courtyard, "Yi Qinghui has brought shame to the Marquis's Mansion. She is no longer his mother, and Madam Su is his bride."

Faced with Yun Lin's flattering behavior, Su Lan felt a wave of nausea well up in her heart. She suppressed her disgust as she looked at the child in front of her, pretending to be so humiliated and enduring such a heavy burden. She cursed inwardly, "How can this child be just six years old? This pretentious look is simply disgusting!"

Even Tuanzi, who was watching beside him, couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but complain, "Based on his poor acting skills, if it were in a normal TV series, he probably wouldn't even survive three episodes and would have been burned to death as a monster!"

However, despite Yunlin's bizarre and eye-catching behavior, he surprisingly didn't arouse anyone's suspicion thanks to his so-called "male protagonist halo." Others simply believed he was gifted, intelligent, and precocious.

Su Lan was not in a hurry to destroy him. This life was long, and she could return to Yun Lin everything that Yi Qinghui had done to Yun Hao.

Thus, Su Lan, the newly appointed wife of the Marquis, superficially gave Yunlin the share due to a legitimate son, leaving no room for suspicion. However, in private, she secretly withheld Yunlin's food and pocket money, making his life quite difficult.

Not only that, when Su Lan went out to participate in various social activities, she would always spare no effort to praise her son in front of everyone about how outstanding he was, as if Yun Lin was the best of the best.

However, truth will eventually come out. As time went on, when people really got to know Yunlin, they were surprised to find that he was just a fool with nothing but good looks.

At this point, all the previous praises for Yunlin disappeared in an instant, and were replaced by negative comments such as "mud that cannot be helped".

Just like that, under Su Lan's careful calculations, Yun Lin's originally dazzling aura as the leading man gradually dimmed, leaving only the last 20%. Seeing this result, Su Lan was also very satisfied.

Time flew by like a fleeting white horse. In the blink of an eye, two years had passed. Through their tireless efforts, Yun Hao and Qiu Shi finally succeeded in passing the examinations for the title of Tongsheng (Tongsheng), embarking on their first life as civil servants. Their relationship was close, more like that of brothers than master and servant.

Meanwhile, Dong Lin, with his exceptional martial arts talent and diligent training, becomes Su Lan's personal disciple. Every day, he immerses himself in martial arts training and vows to spend his life protecting Su Lan and her family.

Chunmei, only twelve years old, displayed remarkable business talent. Su Lan decisively assigned the mansion's experienced steward to teach her how to manage the business. As Chunmei continued to grow and improve, Su Lan gradually handed over management of several shops under the mansion's name to her.

As for Xia He, she excels at handling all kinds of household affairs, being meticulous and well-organized. Su Lan also favors her and intends to focus on her training, teaching her as if she were her own daughter, hoping that she will be able to stand on her own in the future.

But Yunlin has been doted on by his grandmother since he was young. In addition, his master, who only knows some fancy kung fu, praises him all day long. This makes Yunlin gradually have an illusion - he is the one in a million, born martial arts genius!

Yun Lin, already in his thirties, naturally ignored the rumors circulating outside. At this moment, all he wanted was to rise to prominence as quickly as possible and strike back fiercely at those who had looked down on him.

Yun Xiao, on the other hand, had been severely weakened by the drugged incident two years prior. Although he continued to lead his troops into battle, he suffered a series of defeats, failing to maintain his prominent position within the military. Instead, he became a dispensable "Ming-Gong-Hou" in the eyes of the court officials. This stark contrast led to ridicule from many of his former friends.

Yet, how could Yun Xiao be willing to sink into despair? Deep down, he yearned to prove his worth, and soon set his sights on his son, Yun Lin, who was single-mindedly obsessed with martial arts. In his view, Yun Lin was undoubtedly the perfect person to help him regain his former glory.

From that moment on, Yun Xiao gradually began to focus all his attention on Yun Lin. Whenever he saw Yun Lin tirelessly practicing martial arts day after day, Yun Xiao's face would involuntarily reveal an expression of admiration and satisfaction.

Moreover, he solemnly made a promise to Yunlin: as long as Yunlin had the opportunity to go to the battlefield and make great military achievements in the future, he would personally ask the emperor for permission to grant Yunlin the hereditary title of crown prince, or even go a step further and let Yunlin directly inherit his honor as a marquis.

Yunlin became even more convinced that he was the chosen one of heaven, destined to achieve extraordinary achievements. Even though fate had played tricks on him in this life and his mother had passed away unexpectedly, he still firmly believed that with his own abilities he could turn the tide and rewrite the tragic ending of his previous life.

As for Su Lan and her son, Yun Lin had already made plans. Once he succeeded to the Marquisate and became the Marquis of Ninghua, he would expel the mother and son without hesitation, ensuring they had nothing to do with the Marquisate ever again.

Yun Lin gnashed his teeth at the mention of the four so-called "bastards" Su Lan had bought. These people were just lowly servants, but Su Lan, for some reason, had treated them like young masters and young ladies from aristocratic families and carefully nurtured them.

Yunlin had complained to his grandmother more than once, but each time the response was disappointing, because Sulan was eloquent and could always find various excuses to defend herself.

She said that this move was for the future of the Marquis' Mansion. After all, the mansion now has few people and not many descendants. If a few more promising children can be cultivated, then the Marquis' Mansion will be able to add more glory and honor in the future.

Madam Yun had naturally met Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. It had to be said that Su Lan had indeed taught them well. These four were not only smart but also well versed in how to please their elders.

Whenever they met Old Madam Yun, they always behaved in a very well-behaved and polite manner, easily winning the old lady's favor. Over time, Old Madam Yun gradually got used to and enjoyed the happy atmosphere of being surrounded by her children and grandchildren, so she eventually chose to acquiesce and condone Su Lan's actions.

Seven years later, the once robust Yun Xiao was now frail and frail. Seeing his own end approaching, he feared he wouldn't be able to see his son through adulthood.

After careful consideration, he resolutely decided to send the fifteen-year-old Yun Lin to the military camp full of iron blood and heroic spirit. Relying on the deep connections he had accumulated in the past, Yun Xiao successfully secured a coveted position of centurion for his son.

At the same time, in order to successfully fulfill the original owner's third wish, Su Lan did not hesitate to send his capable attendant Dong Lin to the military camp to gain some experience.

On the eve of his departure, Su Lan personally handed Dong Lin many invaluable books on military strategy and earnestly advised him, "Dong Lin, if you want to become a world-renowned general, it's not enough to possess unparalleled martial arts skills! You must also be proficient in various strategies and tactics. So, whenever you have free time, you must study these books on military strategy and never slack off!"

Facing Su Lan's expectant gaze and earnest instructions, Dong Lin nodded heavily and replied firmly: "Okay, Aunt Su! Please rest assured, Dong Lin will do his best to complete the task you assigned to me!"

Although Dong Lin couldn't understand why Su Lan asked him to be particularly wary of a woman named Situ, and to report her to the general immediately if he found any trace of her.

But deep down in Donglin's heart, the person he trusted most was still Su Lan. Therefore, even though he had many doubts about the mysterious mission she had given him, Donglin still chose to believe in it without reservation and resolutely carry it out.

Just like that, with their own different goals and missions, the two young men, Yunlin and Donglin, stepped into the majestic and solemn gate of the military camp one after another... Yunlin, who had just entered the military camp, relied on his noble status as a centurion and inevitably behaved in an arrogant and domineering manner. He did not interact with other soldiers and waited for the battle to start again.
