Chapter 473 Just Endure It
Jiang Yunze opened his eyes and woke up.
The sky is falling.
The first thing you see is the blue sky and white clouds reflected on the lake.
He himself was soaking wet, his hands and feet bound, curled up on the deck, with his unconscious mother beside him.
A faint commotion could be heard behind me.
This is... a dock?
Jiang Yunze was shocked and struggled to his feet, looking around.
They then realized they were on a merchant ship, which had already sailed quite a distance from the dock.
He suspected he was being scammed.
But upon closer reflection...
No, it's not about taking pictures of flowers.
His mother was taken away by that brat Jiang Miaomiao, while he was knocked unconscious in a teahouse.
"Father, you're awake?"
"Come on, quickly untie my dad."
The sound coming from behind him gave Jiang Yunze a glimmer of hope.
After all, he's his blood relative. Even if they're not close, he shouldn't just stand by and watch someone die.
However, the visitor only untied the ropes binding his feet.
Jiang Ziyan and his sister appeared before him, looking down at him.
Jiang Yunze reached out to his son: "Yan'er, quickly help your father untie the ropes, and also your grandmother's. She's getting old and can't take it."
"Whether she can handle it or not is none of my business," Jiang Ziyan said, crossing her arms and glancing at him sideways.
Jiang Yunze was stunned, looking at his son in disbelief.
In the past, when father and son met, although they didn't say much, Yan'er would at least respectfully call him "Father".
Why did you suddenly change your attitude?
Is it because they think he's fallen on hard times?
“Jiang Ziyan, how could you say such a thing? She is your grandmother.”
"She doesn't deserve it."
Jiang Yunze stared at him with wide eyes: "How did Lu Qingyao raise you to be like this? You've become a sycophant, fawning over the powerful and belittling the weak, and speaking ill of your own father and grandmother."
Jiang Ziyan's face darkened: "Are you fit to be a father? No father would do something like you. You knew your concubine was plotting against your wife and children, but you were afraid of the powerful and wealthy, so you repeatedly pretended to be deaf and dumb, protecting and indulging her. You almost caused the four of us, mother and children, to lose our lives. And you still have the nerve to say that I'm a sycophant. How ridiculous!"
"You unfilial son, I am your father! How dare you speak to me like that, you wicked seed, you ingrate..."
"Bad seed?" Jiang Ziyan's lips curled slightly as he chuckled, "Isn't it also your offspring?"
"You unfilial son!" Jiang Yunze gritted his teeth in anger.
He had placed high hopes on this kid, but it turns out he had already been corrupted by Lu Qingyao.
There is no cure!
He rebuked Jiang Ziyan, saying, "You are so rebellious, disrespectful, and unfilial. How can you be fit to be an official? You are destined to be imprisoned. You and your mother should have been forced to spend your lives farming in the countryside, rotting in the mud and dying on the road..."
"Shut up." Miao Miao couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to scold him: "How can there be a father like you in the world, cursing his own son? No wonder you're abandoned by everyone and have nowhere to go. You deserve it!"
She knew that although her second brother hated Jiang Yunze, they were still father and son, and there was still a sliver of affection between them.
He was viciously cursed by his own biological father.
He must be feeling very upset.
"Brother, we're better off without this father." Miao Miao turned around and comforted her second brother with her eyes.
"You brat, I'm like this because of you. Go to hell."
It's unclear whether Miao Miao's words touched a nerve with Jiang Yunze, or whether he had already harbored resentment towards her for a long time.
Jiang Yunze's face instantly contorted into a ferocious expression.
He suddenly rammed into her...
at the same time.
Jiang Ziyan pulled his sister over, held her protectively in his arms, and kicked her away.
Xi'er rushed over and stood protectively in front of the brother and sister.
Liu Yun also ran over and gave Jiang Yunze a hard kick.
"Pfft!"
He kicked it into the lake.
Grandma Jiang happened to wake up at that moment. Seeing her son being kicked away, she lay on the deck, crying and wailing.
Liu Yun originally wanted to drown him, but he was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would use it to make a fuss, tarnish Yan Ge'er's reputation, and affect his career.
They only pulled him out after he had drunk enough water, and it took some effort to wake him up.
As soon as Jiang Yunze woke up, he started cursing: "I'm going to beat the petition drum and sue you, you unfilial son who murdered your own father, to ruin your reputation and make it impossible for you to stand in the capital... Waaah..."
Liu Yun tore off a piece of rag from somewhere and stuffed it into his mouth.
"If you say another word, I'll throw you in to feed the fish."
Jiang Ziyan was startled. He gripped his sister's arm and moved it up and down a few times, afraid that he had pulled too hard and hurt her hand.
"Does it hurt?"
Miao Miao nodded obediently: "It hurts."
Luckily, she's tough; she almost dislocated her hand.
"Are you scared?"
Miao Miao hugged her second brother's neck and comforted him in return.
She was indeed frightened.
Looking at Jiang Yunze, who was as thin as a monkey, it was surprising that he had such great strength.
Jiang Ziyan handed his younger sister to Xi'er, walked up to Jiang Yunze, and really wanted to slap him.
I gritted my teeth and endured it.
If that slap lands on him, he'll be just like Jiang Yunze, unworthy of being called a human being.
He squatted down in front of Jiang Yunze and looked at him calmly.
"Dad, do you know where this ship is going?"
Jiang Yunze struggled for a moment, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
"Don't worry, since you gave me this body and blood, you'll always be my father. I won't abandon you. I'm going to have someone send you back to Taoxi Village. People always have to return to their roots. Taoxi Village is different now than before, and I'm sure you'll like it very much..."
Jiang Yunze became somewhat agitated and struggled more fiercely.
He doesn't want to go back.
People usually return home in glory, but no one is like him, being taken back bound and gagged.
He would rather die in the capital.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Ziyan laughed: "Father, Uncle and Aunt are really looking forward to your return. Uncle's leg is healed, but why is your leg lame? Maybe our Jiang family is destined to have a lame person. It's either Uncle or you."
Do you still remember that house in Taoxi Village?
“I had my uncle restore you to your original state, exactly the same as when you left home. You love romantic moments under the moon and flowers, composing poems and essays, so I’ve left the hole in the roof for you. Enjoying the moon in summer and the snow in winter, it’s so pleasant. I’m sure you’ll love it.”
Jiang Yunze was held down tightly by Liu Yun, staring intently at Jiang Ziyan, his eyes bloodshot and filled with rage.
I wish I could tear him to pieces.
He sometimes thinks that this son is actually the one who is most like him.
Regardless of appearance or temperament.
But he was wrong.
This kid is ruthless, vicious, and capable of anything.
He spent his entire life meticulously planning and scheming, only to be ruined by the two illegitimate children he himself had.
What's the point of him living?
"Father, are you willing to accept this? You haven't seen my elder brother and I achieve great success, you haven't seen my elder brother marry Princess Rong'an, and our family is living happily ever after. How can you die? You have to open your eyes and see for yourself!"
Jiang Ziyan saw through his father at a glance.
No one in the world understood his father better than him; he was afraid of death.
He has to live well, endure it, and keep watching.
"There's something else, and I think you should know. Your biological daughter, my dear sister, actually died before she was born. She appeared in my dream a few days ago and said that she had one regret in her life, which was that she had never met her father since she was born. I think she will also appear in your dream."
Jiang Yunze was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
He stared intently at Miaomiao.
Only now did he realize that this girl was nothing like him.
It wasn't his child after all.
He made a few whimpering sounds.
Jiang Ziyan followed his gaze and looked over: "Miaomiao, she is the daughter of Princess Yuqing, a true princess, of royal blood. Think about what you just did to Miaomiao, you'll have to be careful every day from now on..."
Instantly, Jiang Yunze froze.
stunned.
He has become a laughing stock.
While others die without regrets, his life was full of regrets.
Severed from his wife and children, homeless and destitute...
The fame and fortune that one pursues throughout one's life are easily attainable.
But he missed it.
I'm not reconciled.
