Broken BondsChapter 83

Beitang Ao sneered, “Yanyan, you better not know about this. You have changed a lot over the years. Since you returned to Yaojing, you worshipped the Buddha in this temple every day. It is as if I seldom knew you. Or I have never known of you. I entrusted you to raise Hui’er but you took care of Hui’er like this. Since you promised to be their Mother Concubine, you better do it.”

Lin Yanyan smiled and said, “Wang Ye, you also failed to do as you promised. Do you not remember?” WOmDC5

Beitang Ao raised his eyebrows, “How did I fail? Originally, I also had the heart to be in harmony with you all the time. It’s a pity that we are growing farther and farther apart. My original promise, I said I would love you as a husband would for his wife for the rest of my life! I still do!”

Lin Yanyan stared at him fiercely for a moment but gradually calmed down, turned around, and said in an indifferent tone, “You are right. We just take what we have as we need it. It’s just that I have been dreaming for a long time, and I forgot that I will wake up one day. Hui’er, I will visit him and be his Mother Concubine. Of course, there are still days…”

Beitang Ao looked at her back, turned, and left. He did not see that Lin Yanyan’s bright red long nails were embedded in her palms. Nor did he see how hideous her beautiful and clear face had become.

Beitang Ri was hiding in the corner. He was very light and good at quieting his breaths, Beitang Ao was agitated and did not find him. He heard what the parents said. Even though he was still young, he still understood some things. For example, he was not the biological son of his Mother Concubine. 3jKYqy

He had also heard about this from the talkative subordinates, so he was not too surprised. Perhaps he was calm by nature or too young to understand the truer meanings. In short, he didn’t care about this very much and never asked anyone about it. Whether he had a biological mother was not important to him.

As for Beitang Yaohui… When Beitang Ri and Beitang Yaohui lived in the Shenmei Courtyard more than half a year ago, they both fell ill. He was ill for a long time and had been in a coma for many days. When he recovered from his illness, he went to see Beitang Yaohui, but Beitang Yaohui was no longer the same person. Although the Mother Concubine kept telling him that Beitang Yaohui had changed a little because of illness, he still knew that this person was not Beitang Yaohui. Yet he liked him very much because this Beitang Yaohui always pestered him. So Beitang Ri loved him in everything, especially his beauty. This Beitang Yaohui was more beautiful than the previous one, behaved well, and listened to him very much.

From what the Mother Concubine said, his foster father must be the general. The Mother Concubine didn’t seem to like his foster father, why? But he honestly liked his foster father. It felt so pleasant to be with him, especially when the father was also there. Being pampered by his father and foster father at the same time gave Beitang Ri a great sense of satisfaction. This kind of feeling only took a few days, yet surpassed the three years he spent with Lin Yanyan.

Although Beitang Ri was young, his mind was clear. He saw Lin Yanyan almost destroy the entire Buddhist Hall after his father left. Her face was distorted and stern. He felt that such a Mother Concubine was very scary, which made him very unhappy. So he left carefully.

Since he was not the child of the Mother Concubine, whose child was he? Whose child was Beitang Yaohui? What was the matter between his foster father and his father? Why did his foster father leave?

Many questions flashed through Beitang Ri’s little head.

Yan Feili left the bed, moved his body about, and felt less uncomfortable. He had prepared something and planned to take a look at the horse farm. When he went out, he saw his sister-in-law sifting rice in the yard. xrZXFf

“Xiao Yan, where are you going?”

“Well. Sister-in-law, the weather is good today, I’m going to the horse farm later.” Yan Feili smiled. Madam Liu was also a straight-up person and when Liu Qi kept calling him ‘Xiao Yan’, she also followed. Fortunately, in front of outsiders, they still remember that his alias was ‘Pan Li’. It was just that Yan Feili was insensitive to Beitang Ao’s abilities and got found.

Yan Feili thought of that person and smiled unexpectedly. Deep down in his heart, maybe he wanted to be found by him. Perhaps that was why he came to this place where his good brother lived and stayed so close to him.

“Xiao Yan, what are you laughing at?” UEiuqM

“Huh? Did I laugh?”

“Laughing! You have liked to giggle alone since you came back two days ago.” Madam Liu looked at him with a smile.

Yan Feili was a little embarrassed. He always thought of Beitang Ao and Li’er from time to time. When he thought of them, there was a burst of sweetness in his heart, and he can’t help but laugh.

Madam Liu was a straightforward but attentive woman with the keenness and intuition unique to women. Yan Feili’s triumphant appearance after returning and the smiles that he showed from time to time made her feel different. 4HdzLM

I don’t know if you met someone and fell in love during the few days you left?

Madam Liu couldn’t help but speculate in her heart. Yan Feili’s age was not young, it was time for him to start a family. In the past two years, he hadn’t taken a fancy to the girls she told him, so he must have had someone in his heart.

“Sister-in-law, I’m going to the horse farm.”

“Okay.” Madam Liu thought to herself that one day she would ask Liu Qi to inquire about Yan Feili and find out who his sweetheart was. This kind of thing was easier discussed between the two brothers. Although she could not give birth to a son for Liu Qi, she had a clever daughter who will bring home a son-in-law in the future. She couldn’t let Yan Feili be so lonely. WlOeJ4

Yan Feili didn’t know these plans of his sister-in-law.

When he came to the horse farm, he saw Liu Ya pulling the lean doctor Xiao Yuan and didn’t know what they were talking about. Xiao Yuan shook his head vigorously, his face flushed from contention. He was not only lame but also a stutter; how could he say that he was more than Liu Ya’s clever mouth?

Yan Feili walked over, listening to the two of them fight, and asked, “Ya’er, where’s your father?”

Liu Ya jumped to his side, dragged him, and said, “My father went to let the horse out.” NYZGse

Yan Feili looked at Xiao Yuan and asked, “How are the two mares?”

“Very, very, very… Good.” Xiao Yuan stammered, “Open, open… When love is matched, matched, they are all together. There are, there are…”

“There are seventeen mares with colts.” Liu Ya was tired to hear him and couldn’t help but speak for him.

Yan Feili patted Liu Ya on the shoulder and said softly, “Ya’er, don’t talk like this. It is very rude.” Ya2ME

Liu Ya frowned and pointed at Yuan Qing and said, “Who told him to talk so hard?”

Yuan Qing blushed, “Miss, I, I, I’m stammering, stammering, stammering…”

Liu Ya immediately jumped over to lean on him, making him stutter even more.

Yan Feili smiled, knowing that Liu Ya was just naughty. The two of them had a very good relationship, so he was not worried. He followed their grazing direction, got on his horse, and looked for Liu Qi. eZLyHn

Beitang Ao returned to the palace, and the emperor showed him a secret book. Dongfang Xi made a quick move. After annihilating the last small country in the south, he took the name Dongfang Wang to fight for the throne, and under the banner of Qin Wang, he abolished the two princes in one fell swoop.

Now the Ming and Wen Dynasty can be said to divide the world equally. Dongfang Xi was now an emperor, so naturally, he will no longer be a Sect Master, his position will be passed on sooner or later. The emperor knew very well in his heart that Tianmen had been standing in the martial arts for three hundred years without failing. It was deeply rooted and powerful. It would only be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty to have Beitang Ao to sit in as the North Gate and Beitang Wang. Calling him into the palace this time was nothing more than to test Tianmen’s reaction to this matter.

This was nothing strange. This was not the first time for a Wang or Emperor to rise from Tianmen. It was just that now that the world was settling. The situations in the Ming and Wen Dynasty were stable. The empires were rich, and the people were strong. The status of Tianmen will undergo some subtle changes. w 9RIh

Alright! Perhaps we should discuss with Nangong Yan whether or not it will better to make some adjustments to the Tianmen military system. Beitang Ao analyzed the situation in the world and thought to himself.

Back in the Beitang Palace, he met with the imperial doctor who said that Beitang Yaohui’s condition had been much more stable. As long as the poxes on the body were not scratched, there will be no scars in the future. Beitang Ao breathed a sigh of relief. He already had a son who died of smallpox, so he was very worried and hoped that this Beitang Yaohui could make it through. After all, his bloodline was unusual.

Just after changing into the big purple court clothes, someone came to report, saying that General Yu would like to see him.

“Yu Feiqing?” FnZuMN

Since the Sect Master returned to Beijing, except for a glance of him at the reception banquet, Beitang Ao hadn’t been to court. For more than half a month, he was with Yan Feili in the courtyard in the countryside. After returning, Beitang Yaohui was seriously ill and Beitang Ao hadn’t seen anyone. The government officials in Beijing knew that Beitang Ao had a cold temperament, neglected to socialize, and had always ignored the flattery of others. Thus, they were very witty not to disturb. When they came to congratulate, they would automatically send items and gift letters directly to the steward. In hand, they dared not visit without an invitation.

“I know, take him to the front hall, I will see him there.”

Yu Feiqing was a rare young general in the Ming Dynasty in the past two years. The Yu family was loyal civil servants for generations. His father was the former Dongyang Wang, Yu Taifu, and his elder brother was a bachelor of the Imperial Academy. When he was a teenager, he abandoned his brushes to join the army at a young age, and becoming a general was indeed a talent. 

Even though he had been on the battlefield as Beitang Ao’s subordinate for more than a year, it didn’t mean anything special to Beitang Ao. But Beitang Ao was very accommodating to him, not for anything else, just for the smallest of things. J1MIs5
