Chapter 395 What does the trouble caused by Yuwen Huaji's filial son have to do with Yuwen Chen
"The Duke's filial piety is a model for people of our time."
An elderly minister with gray hair stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of approval.
"Indeed, the younger generation in the clan should follow suit."
Another official echoed this sentiment.
His son idles away his days, doing nothing productive. If he had even half of Yuwen Chenglong's filial piety, he would be laughing in his sleep.
Suddenly, everyone's opinion of Yuwen Chenglong, this reckless fellow, changed dramatically.
Although what he did was outrageous, absurd, and even treasonous.
But that filial piety, that unwavering devotion to his father, was genuine and could not be faked.
As Yuwen Huaji listened to these discussions, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Something's not right!
His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly became alert.
This is a rebellious son, the one who dug up his own ancestral graves, threw the ancestral tablets aside, and kept saying that he was not a member of the Yuwen family!
How did you suddenly become such a filial son?
Would you like to have such a filial son?
Yuwen Huaji opened his mouth, as if to say something.
But when he looked around, he saw faces filled with emotion and eyes full of approval.
Those courtiers who usually looked down on him for his greed and avarice now cast envious and admiring glances at him.
He had a grievance he couldn't express.
He couldn't very well say in front of so many people that his son was faking it, could he?
"Father." Yuwen Chenglong slowly stood up, raindrops hitting his face, blurring his features.
"Your son will always be your son. Even if you don't acknowledge him, he will still acknowledge you."
After saying that, he slowly turned around and walked away step by step amidst the gazes of the crowd, which were filled with emotion, admiration, sympathy, or pity.
His figure grew increasingly blurry and distant in the rain, finally disappearing at the end of the long street.
"Sigh, what a sentimental person."
"That old fellow Yuwen Huaji did indeed raise a fine son."
"Who can disagree? With a son like this, what more could a husband ask for?"
The murmurs gradually subsided, and the onlookers left in twos and threes.
The long street returned to silence, with only the rain pouring down.
After walking a long way, Yuwen Chenglong made sure there was no one else behind him before he stopped.
He leaned against the wall, bent over, and his shoulders began to tremble violently.
"Hahaha, hahaha!"
He laughed so hard he was doubled over, tears streaming down his face, and he was so overwhelmed with laughter that he couldn't straighten up from his knees.
He was completely unaware of the rain pouring down on him.
The dejection, the sorrow, and the touching filial piety he had just felt all transformed into unrestrained laughter.
Although he couldn't enter his home tonight, he put on a truly dramatic show of a father being unkind and a son being unfilial in front of the entire court.
From now on, he can still use the Yuwen family's name to cause trouble and create problems wherever he wants.
Who told him to be the son of the Yuwen family?
Who told him to be such a filial son?
What does the trouble caused by Yuwen Huaji's filial son have to do with Yuwen Chenglong?
He won this round again.
In front of the Prince Shuo's mansion, Lü Xiao stood up from his chair and took the umbrella handed to him by his attendant.
"Let's go, the show's over."
He called out to Yang Ruyi, who was still sitting there and refused to move.
"Lu Zilie, Yuwen Chenglong is truly a filial son."
Yang Ruyi stood up, her voice filled with emotion and gratitude.
She admitted that she had misjudged Yuwen Chenglong before.
Although this person has many flaws, his filial piety is genuine.
It seems that his own son is not at a disadvantage by becoming his student.
With such a loyal and filial master, Lü Yan is sure to amount to something in the future.
"It would be best if"
Holding an umbrella, Lü Xiao put his arm around Yang Ruyi's shoulder and walked slowly towards the gate of the mansion.
Is it filial piety?
Filial piety my ass!
Today, Yuwen Chenglong put on a grand show, crying, kneeling, kowtowing, and even bleeding.
Anyone who sees this will have to give a thumbs up and praise him as a very filial son.
After this kneeling and weeping, Yuwen Huaji is likely to face even more trouble.
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
Although Yang Guang was dressed in ordinary clothes and not wearing a dragon robe, he still could not hide his imperial majesty.
Lu Xiao and Yang Ruyi stood side by side beside him, both dressed in plain brocade robes, elegant and dignified.
They are not going on a military expedition today, but have come specifically to see off Yang Guang's two grandsons.
Yang Tan and Yang You left Beijing to take up their new posts.
Yang You clutched a warm, smooth white jade pendant tightly in his hand; it was a token given to him by Yang Guang before his departure.
"Grandfather, your grandson is now heading to Jiangdu."
"I will certainly live up to my grandfather's expectations, diligently govern, and bring peace and stability to the people."
Yang Guang nodded slightly, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing his sleeve. Although he felt extremely reluctant, he still maintained the composure of an emperor.
"Uncle, Aunt, your nephew takes his leave."
Yang You turned around and bowed deeply to Lü Xiao and Yang Ruyi, completely different from his previous aloofness and arrogance.
Having witnessed firsthand Lü Xiao's illustrious achievements in sweeping across the northern deserts and shaking the world, he had long since completely humbled himself.
He knew in his heart that although Lü Xiao had said he would not participate in the struggle for the crown prince position, he was the most important figure in the Sui Dynasty and the pillar that his grandfather trusted most.
Even if it's just to leave a good impression, you must never be as frivolous as before.
But at this moment, Lü Xiao and Yang Ruyi were completely immersed in their own world.
Their eyes were filled with affection, and they were so engrossed in each other that they didn't even notice the boy's farewell.
Yang Ruyi tilted her head back, blinking her bright eyes, "Husband, what shall we eat tonight?"
"When it comes to fish, I asked the kitchen to go to the river to buy the freshest live carp."
Lu Xiao lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on his wife's pretty face.
The two smiled at each other, their eyes filled with tenderness, completely absorbed in each other.
Sunlight shone on them, their figures intertwined, and anyone who saw them would have to say what a perfect couple they were.
Yang You's lips twitched slightly, and the respect on his face froze on the spot.
They've come to see him off!
In front of everyone, with my grandfather right there beside me.
Why can't my aunt and uncle show such affection in public, without caring about others?
He stood there, unsure whether to move forward or backward.
Yang Guang coughed lightly and said helplessly, "Zilie, Ruyi, stop talking and you're waiting for You'er."
The two of them then seemed to wake up from a dream and came to their senses.
Yang Ruyi slapped her forehead, feigning surprise as she looked at Yang You, as if she had just discovered him: "Oh dear, you big nephew, when did you get here?"
"I reckon they just arrived recently."
Lü Xiao earnestly tried to smooth things over.
Yang You took a deep breath, suppressing the helplessness in his heart, and cupped his hands again, saying:
"Uncle, Aunt, I must take my leave now. I will definitely write to you often in the future to inquire after your well-being."
"Oh, you're leaving already?" Yang Ruyi quickly put on a concerned expression and instructed, "The journey to Jiangdu is long, so you must be very careful and make sure nothing else happens, okay?"
