Eldest Sister, Why Haven't You Married Yet

99

Chapter 99. Turned bad

Shaking the empty white jade bottle, Xiao Lin Yu sighed and simply lolled against the edge of the rockery. Looking at the bright silver moon, he recalled what old Ancestor said to him yesterday.

"Lin Yu, you are the next head of Xiao Family. You can't do whatever you want in many things. Doing what you want will only harm yourself and Xiao Family." Xiao Family’s old Ancestor, Mrs. Song married into Xiao Family over forty years ago. Since Xiao Family’s Grand Master passed away a few years ago, old Ancestor had become more and more reclusive. However, no matters in Xiao Family could be hidden from her. It went without saying, she knew that her most important Eldest Grandson had changed in the past year. He was more and more alienated from them and more and more disobedient.

Xiao Lin Yu had been tired of hearing the words ‘You are the next Patriarch of Xiao Family’, ‘You must be steady’, ‘Be obedient’ and so on since he was young. Hearing old Ancestor once again repeating these, he recalled the days in Luohe Prefecture. Although Su Kang was the only son of Su Family, whether it was You Jin or Auntie Su, they never restricted him. He lived in Su Family for more than a month and he never heard anything like that. With a wry smile, he spoke, "Grandmother, is this the only way I can live my life?"

No matter what he says or does, it was for Xiao Family. What about himself? What about his life? What about his emotions?

"I shouldn't have allowed you to leave the capital for so long. After being outside for a long time, your heart had become wild!" Lin Yu's marriage with Bai Family had indeed put shame on Lin Yu's face. It was why Mrs. Song let him be and allowed him to leave the capital. Unexpectedly, this planted the root of disaster. Seeing the sullen expression on Eldest Grandson's face, Mrs. Song sighed, "In the past two months, Bai Family hadn’t had a good time. Your second uncle had pulled Bai Family out numerous times and Bai Family had suffered a lot in front of his Majesty. Although you have been wronged in this matter, you still have to take care of Xiao Family, don't you?"

Closing his eyes and not looking at the lonely moon anymore, completely drunk Xiao Lin Yu murmured to himself: "In conclusion, I'm just a pawn of Xiao Family! What patriarch? What wealth and glory? It's just a prison cage... ..." After a while, he leaned against the rockery and fell into a deep sleep.

In his sleep, Xiao Lin Yu dreamed that the night before he left Luohe Prefecture. Under the glowing sky, a girl was slowly walking toward him. His heart skipped a beat for an instant.

Unfortunately, sweet dreams were short and good nights were rare. When Xiao Lin Yu wanted to reach out to hug the girl in front of him, he was awakened by a sound. It turned out that the servant found him drunk and slumped to the ground. Not daring to do anything to him, the servant invited the mistress of Xiao Family to come over.

"It's just a muddy leg from a poor country. Is it worth your obsession?" Seeing her eldest son who was drunk and out of control, Mrs. Yu couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken: "Lin Yu, you have turned bad. If I had known this, I shouldn’t have let you out of the capital!”

Recalling her son who was drunk on the ground just now and muttering the name of that little vixen, Mrs. Yu couldn’t help but be infuriated. Sure enough, a lowly worm was a lowly worm! The eldest son she was most proud of was seduced until he lost his soul!

Having his dream disturbed, Xiao Lin Yu opened his eyes and heard that his mother disregarded the rules of being a lady and gnashed her teeth as she scolded the far away Su Family Luohe Prefecture. He couldn't help frowning and indistinctly moved his position a little farther away from Mrs. Yu. The drunkenness between his brows was gone. The cold expression returned to his face: "What's the reason for mother coming late at night?"
