Chapter 248 Substitute Marriage
Ying Yu felt like his heart was breaking.
"You've lost weight, you've lost weight."
“My son is suffering away from home.”
How could he not feel heartbroken?
The only cub.
They grew up being pampered and spoiled.
After leaving home, he looked pale, thin, and disheveled, and he almost didn't recognize him.
This was simply worse than killing him.
Ying Ze cried for a while and then stopped.
He was a little embarrassed; he hadn't cried in a long time and couldn't hold it in.
He blew his nose and spoke in a muffled voice.
"Where's mother?"
"Your mother..." Ying Yu hesitated, "It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."
"it is good."
Once inside, Mu Yunyun took the initiative to step forward and offer her greetings.
"Greetings, sir. These are a small gift prepared for you."
Bai Sang'er presented the wooden brocade box.
Ying Yu, however, had no interest.
He sat down with the cub, held him in his arms, and then looked at Mu Yunyun.
"The clan chief will soon be establishing his clan, and he will need to make arrangements with all parties involved. Let's skip this gift."
“Father, this is a small token of her appreciation.”
"Shut up."
Ying Yu remained indifferent and gave instructions to the slaves around him.
"Go, bring the person up."
people?
who?
Ying Ze was puzzled, but the next moment, his expression suddenly changed.
A fair-skinned, delicate-looking young boy entered from outside and bowed respectfully.
“Uncle.”
Ying Yu nodded: "Where is your mother?"
"My mother is busy with family matters and it's inconvenient for her to come over. Let my father entertain the guests."
Sure enough, he figured she wouldn't come, so he had to be the bad guy.
Thinking of this, Ying Yu turned his gaze back to Mu Yunyun.
"This is Yao She, I presume the clan chief has met him before."
Mu Yunyun composed herself and spoke in a deep voice.
"What does this mean, my Lord?"
"Two years ago, it was Beihai who wronged you first, but the matter was settled and could not be reversed. Besides, my son and you did not sign a covenant with Heaven and Earth. It would be better for the clan leader not to make things difficult for the Ying clan."
"Father! What are you saying?"
Ying Ze simply couldn't believe it.
"Back then, you sold me out to curry favor with the Dijiang clan, and you even told a huge lie, having the Yao clan take my place, almost costing her her life!"
"Now that she's come back for my sake, disregarding past grievances, you're bringing up the Yao family again to disgust us!"
"Father, what are you really up to? Don't you want me to have a good life!"
Does Mother not want to come?
So that’s it!
It turns out to be like this!
nausea!
too disgusting!
Ying Yu was unwilling to back down on this matter: "What's wrong with Yao Ji? Once you have a child, you can inherit the Dijiang clan in the future. Why don't you know what's good for you?"
Ying Ze was so angry he laughed.
"So that's what Mother was planning. Seeing that Ying Hua had become the clan leader and was gradually gaining power, she wanted to support Yao Ji to keep her in check. Mother, what a vicious mind you have!"
"Insolence!!" Ying Yu shouted sternly, "She is your mother!"
"I don't have a mother like that!"
They exchanged their offspring for power.
Does she even deserve to be a mother?
"Very well, you've grown up and your wings have hardened." Ying Yu ordered, "Guards, take the young clan leader away."
"Who dares!"
Ying Ze went berserk; his eyes were bloodshot and his gaze was almost bursting!
"What young clan leader? Whoever wants to be the leader can be the leader. You think I'll be manipulated by others? Dream on!"
He took Mu Yunyun's hand.
"let's go!"
"Wait!"
It is a pardon.
He wasn't particularly handsome, only barely passable as good-looking. His only striking feature was his pair of eyes, which were incredibly captivating. Combined with his humble and cautious demeanor, he went almost unnoticed.
"Brother, don't be angry. I have an idea that can satisfy both of us."
"What idea?" Ying Ze didn't believe it.
Yao She smiled and said, "My elder sister is Lord Ying Hua's maid and has some connection with Yao Ji. If my brother can formally give up his position as the young clan leader, I am willing to go to the Dijiang Clan in his place. I think Yao Ji will not say anything because of my elder sister."
Who doesn’t want to climb up?
His choice to join the Snow Weasel clan was a decision made after careful consideration of the situation and weighing the pros and cons.
Without the Snow Weasel Clan, he would not have become the adopted son of the Youying Clan, and his Yao Clan would not have been valued by the North Sea.
He walked this path willingly.
But who doesn't have ambition?
In the past two years, he has enjoyed the power and influence. He has gained a lot of benefits from being an adopted son. If he could get the position of young clan leader, he could succeed Beihai in the future, and his descendants could succeed the Dijiang clan. Only a fool would not want that.
How could the mere Snow Weasel clan compare to the Dijiang clan?
"really?"
“Of course, I am willing to grant my brother’s request.” He then looked at Ying Yu: “I ask my father to make the decision and let me go to the Dijiang clan in my brother’s place.”
Ying Yu ignored him, saying, "Your mother would never agree to this."
Yao She immediately knelt down.
“My brother is not one to compromise. Rather than making a huge scene and ending up in a mess, it’s better to go along with my brother’s wishes.”
"You've got a pretty good plan," Ying Yu sneered.
He relinquished his position as the young clan leader.
How dare he even think of that!
He wasn't unaware of Yao She's character; in the past two years, he had received many benefits under Ying Shi's watchful eye, but he simply didn't want to mention it.
I never imagined he had such big ambitions.
But as a father, he wouldn't have been able to bring himself to say it if his partner hadn't pressured him repeatedly.
"Fine, as long as Lady Yaoji asks for you, I, with the Ying clan, will not refuse her."
He didn't agree immediately because there were many complicated issues involved. If an adopted son, who was also from another ethnic group, were to succeed as the young clan leader, wouldn't the North Sea then belong to the Yao clan?
He was certain his partner wouldn't agree, but he was afraid of upsetting the baby if he said too much, so he decided to just let him try.
Yao She was overjoyed: "Thank you, Father."
Once outside, he immediately relayed the message to Emperor Jiang.
When Yao Niang received the news, she was overjoyed.
How could she not be happy that her younger brother had achieved such great success? Moreover, Yao Ji already owed her a huge favor regarding the matter of offering sacrifices.
Thinking of this, she didn't want to delay, so she personally went to Yao Ji's territory to settle things immediately.
"Your younger brother? The one who was given to the Snow Weasel clan?" Yao Ji had a vague recollection of him.
Yao Niang nodded: "That's right. As long as Lady Yao Ji agrees, we're not afraid that the North Sea won't allow it."
Yao Ji did not want to nod.
She is living a comfortable life now, even happier than her relatives, and has no desire to get involved in Beihai's affairs.
However, she now owed Yao Niang a huge favor.
If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been able to make offerings anymore.
With that thought in mind, Yao Ji could only nod: "Alright, I'll go tell Bei Hai and then bring the person over."
Yao Niang was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lord Yaoji."
......
Ying Yu was surprised that Yao Ji had actually come to ask for someone back.
Even Ying Ze was a little surprised.
He had long been prepared to resist, but before he could, Emperor Jiang arrived.
The woman who came over was Yao Ji's wet nurse: "My master specifically instructed that since we were indebted to the Snow Weasel clan for what happened back then, we might as well go with the flow."
"No."
The one speaking was the patriarch of the Ying clan.
There's no way she would agree to this.
Wouldn't this be tantamount to handing over the Ying clan to someone else?
The wet nurse laughed: "Actually, what if the clan leader doesn't agree? For the past two years, Lord Yingze has been without any official status in the Snow Weasel Clan. My lady is not without temper."
"you!"
