HCB Chapter 219 The Inexplicable Brother
Chapter 219 The Inexplicable Brother
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the door. After a burst of galloping, it stopped at the gate of Yu Mansion.
"Xu..."
Yu Qingli did not open her eyes. The people who came should not be Yu Zhengsha and the others. Given Yu Zhenzhen's current condition, it was impossible for her to ride a horse.
"Pull the horse to the backyard, send the luggage back to my room, and tell the kitchen to prepare some meals." The visitor spoke very naturally.
Hearing someone coming in, Mei Hong nervously reminded, "Miss..."
Yu Qingli ignored her and just closed her eyes to rest. She was waiting for Yu Zhengsha now, and she didn't want to get entangled with anyone else before they came back.
Mei Hong couldn't help but sigh when she saw that Yu Qingli didn't react. She followed the footsteps of the person coming and was stunned for a moment. She had seen quite a few handsome men, and those in the royal family alone were more handsome than each other.
But the person in front of him had an indescribable beauty.
Probably for the convenience of traveling, the man was dressed in tight clothes, with delicate features and a handsome expression. His wheat-colored skin made him look very healthy, and his tall figure was intimidating.
As soon as that person entered the mansion, servants quickly came to greet him happily, "Master, you're back!"
It turned out that this person was the eldest young master of the mansion, Yu Lihan. Mei Hong thought to herself, this is bad, could it be that Young Master Yu has come back to call for an explanation?
As soon as Yu Lihan entered the door, he was attracted by the scene in front of him. The sweet fragrance of osmanthus filled the air. There was a bench under the tree. A woman was lying on the bench with her eyes slightly closed, looking calm. Two maids stood beside her, one was pretty and charming, the other was cold and indifferent. She was really charming.
Yu Lihan took a step forward and walked to Yu Qingli's side. At the same time, Mei Hong involuntarily took a step back, while Xiluo stepped forward cautiously.
Yu Lihan unexpectedly squatted down, his eyes fixed on Yu Qingli's face, and spoke softly like a real brother, "Qingli, why are you sleeping here? What if you catch a cold?"
Mei Hong couldn't help but exchange a glance with Xi Luo. What was going on? Wasn't it because he heard about the Second Young Lady being murdered in the palace that the Young Master of the Yu Mansion had returned so exhausted? If so, why was his attitude towards the Young Lady so...intimate?
Not to mention Mei Hong and others, even Yu Qingli was very surprised. She suddenly opened her eyes and met the eyes of the man in front of her.
Yu Lihan was stunned. It turned out that his sister had such a pair of cold and bright eyes, but there was a hint of wariness and indifference in her eyes. Was it related to his father?
That day at Chunfeng Tower, although he arrived a little late, he had already witnessed with his own eyes how strained the relationship between Yu Qingli and her father was, which made him very puzzled.
He had been away from home for many years, but he had already known that Luoyang had an older sister. However, his father's attitude seemed very strange. Every time he mentioned this older sister, he would get angry for no reason.
In fact, in Yu Lihan's opinion, this sister is very worthy of sympathy. Compared with them who grew up with their father, how lonely must Miss Yu be, who can only be mentioned briefly by her father?
The more I think about it, the more curious I become about her.
While Yu Lihan was looking at Yu Qingli, Yu Qingli was also looking at the man in front of her with an inquiring look. His upright character was exactly the same as Yu Zhengsha's, but he was more masculine and calm. His clear and sharp eyes did not make him look like a wicked person at all.
Yu Qingli lowered her eyes. It was really a world of difference between her and herself who would do anything for revenge.
Seeing Yu Qingli wake up, Yu Lihan stood up and smiled gently, "Sister Qingli, I've been in the army all year round and haven't been back very often. I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself properly. My name is Yu Lihan, and I'm your brother."
Yu Qingli frowned. Facing that bright and sunny face, she was a little afraid to look directly at it. Why? Wasn't this person here to call for an explanation?
Seeing Yu Qingli silent, Yu Lihan smiled and said, "What's wrong? Now it's your turn to introduce yourself, right?"
Yu Qingli was stunned and moved for a moment. She vaguely remembered how much she wanted to have a brother many years ago, a brother who would help her in everything and spoil her. Although she later realized that it was just her delusion.
Even if such a person exists, he would not be his brother. He is Yu Zhenzhen's brother. He rushed back from the military camp specially, probably for Yu Zhenzhen.
Yu Qingli sneered. Was his current kindness a test of her?
Thinking of this, Yu Qingli stood up from her chair and faced Yu Lihan fearlessly. "Let me make it clear first, no matter how many people from your Yu family come, I will not be afraid. I still say the same thing, I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Yu Lihan was shocked. Just at that moment, he actually saw the despair of a desperate situation in the eyes of this girl who was only in her teens.
What had happened these days?! Although he had heard the general situation, he felt that it was just speculation. The truth might not be as simple as the rumors.
Yu Lihan's expression turned serious. He replied earnestly, "Sister Qingli, from the day I knew you existed, I vowed to make up for the family love you've lost. No matter what happened between you and Zhenzhen, you're both my sisters. I won't take sides."
Such a resounding statement surprised Yu Qingli. In her previous life, she would have accepted it. But now she is no longer the foolish Yu Qingli, and she would not trust a stranger so easily, even though he is her brother by blood.
As the two were talking, a carriage finally stopped outside the door, and then Yu Zhengsha's voice was heard ordering, "Be careful, the young lady is weak, don't let her get bumped."
Yu Qingli raised a sarcastic smile on her lips, and the next second, a scream broke the quiet morning light.
"You little bitch, you killed my daughter and now you want to kill my son?! I'm going to fight you!"
When Wang saw Yu Lihan standing next to Yu Qingli, she rushed towards Yu Qingli like a madman and slapped her hard.
The incident happened so suddenly that even Xiluo didn't react in time and could only let Wang rush over hysterically.
There was a crisp sound of "Snap", but the expected pain did not fall on Yu Qingli's face. A tall figure blocked her way, and the sunlight shone through the figure onto her face, making her feel a little dizzy.
How is this going? !
Half of Yu Lihan's cheek was slightly red and swollen, and there were even scratches from fingernails on it, stained with blood, which was very creepy. It showed how much force Wang had used just now.
Realizing that she had hit the wrong person, Wang was stunned for a moment. After a moment, she reacted and grabbed Yu Lihan's sleeve, "Han'er, Han'er, I'm sorry, mother didn't mean it."
"Has mother calmed down?" Yu Lihan's voice was gentle but powerful, with a hint of anger. If that slap had hit Yu Qingli's face, wouldn't that delicate skin and tender flesh have been ruined?
If a woman's face was left with scars, what would she do in the future? Moreover, she would soon be marrying into the palace.
Looking at her son's gaze, Wang took a step back, then covered her face and cried, "Han'er, it's all this woman's fault, it's all her fault, Zhenzhen...Zhenzhen..."
Yu Lihan frowned and said soothingly, "Okay, mother, if there's anything, let's go inside and talk about it first. Besides, Zhenzhen can't stand by the door, right?"
Wang nodded slightly, and Yu Zhengsha, who was at the door, had already gotten out of the car. He gave Yu Qingli a slightly cold look before asking Yu Lihan, "Why did you come back so suddenly?"
"I couldn't make it back in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Later, I heard that Zhenzhen had an accident, so the general gave me a three-month vacation."
Yu Zhengsha nodded slightly. "That's fine. Go back and rest first. We'll talk about it after you're settled."
Yu Lihan nodded slightly, turned his head and gave Yu Qingli a soothing smile, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Yu Qingli, who had wanted to find fault, suddenly felt bored. She told Mei Hong to move the chair and prepared to leave.
"Stop!"
Yu Zhengsha spoke in a cold voice, and Yu Qingli's eyes immediately turned cold. It seemed that some people just didn't want to live a peaceful life. In that case, it was no wonder that she was ruthless.
"Father, I suddenly remembered that I have something to say to Sister Qingli, so I will take her away first."
Before Yu Qingli could speak, Yu Lihan, who was supposed to have left, suddenly turned around, grabbed Yu Qingli's hand, and faced the angry Yu Zhengsha.
Yu Zhengsha was a little surprised, but when he met Yu Lihan's serious eyes, he didn't say anything.
Yu Qingli was shocked and was dragged away by Yu Lihan. Mei Hong and Xiluo followed after paying their respects.
Looking at Yu Qingli and Yu Lihan leaving together, Yu Zhengsha seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that he should have a good talk with his son.
Yu Lihan pulled Yu Qingli outside Liuliju before he let go of her hand. He said with a bright smile, "Okay, sister Qingli, I'll go pack my things first and come find you later."
Yu Qingli remained silent, looking at the wound on his face, feeling inexplicably irritated. She didn't want to owe anyone in the Yu family any favors!
Yu Lihan had already left Liuliju in a cheerful manner. Mei Hong hurried over, a little breathless, "Miss, are you okay?"
Yu Qingli said calmly: "Nothing, Meihong, come in with me."
