Chapter 503 His Cowardice
Song Ruozhen nodded, "When have I ever not supported you? I have always supported your decisions."
She had already considered that there were many hidden circumstances in this matter, and Yun Chengze did indeed appear too cowardly and lacked sufficient responsibility.
However, one should not make hasty judgments without having experienced the suffering of others.
Yun Chengze's current personality is related to his experiences over the years.
The same thing can affect some people with strong and resolute hearts, while others with sensitive and delicate minds find it difficult to bear.
The world is vast and all-encompassing; everything is a product of one's own destiny, so she naturally wouldn't interfere rashly.
Yun Nianchu smiled gently, "Since that's the case, I don't care about the consequences. If I don't tell you this, I will definitely regret it."
"Aunt Zhang is with my mother right now. Let's talk about it when we get back."
Song Ruozhen did some quick calculations, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, and changed her words, saying, "It seems you don't need to say it yourself."
Yun Nianchu asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
“Your cousin has already told you.”
"What?" Yun Nianchu looked incredulous.
Gu Huan'er and Meng Qin were drawn to Yun Nianchu's unconsciously raised voice and subconsciously turned their heads, asking, "What happened?"
"No." Yun Nianchu waved her hands repeatedly, a hint of embarrassment in her expression.
"Don't worry, let's wait and see. Things will take a turn for the better." Song Ruozhen held Yun Nianchu's hand, reassuring her.
Yun Nianchu nodded, her heart filled with excitement. Her cousin had spoken up first, and she could accept whatever the final outcome might be.
When Zhang Wen left the Song residence, she noticed that Yun Chengze was waiting for her outside the door.
The moment their eyes met, she understood that Chengze knew she had found out.
"Aunt, I've booked the banquet."
Although Yun Chengze was uneasy, his attitude was very firm. He had been preparing for this for a long time and originally planned to explain it after high school.
However, too many changes occurred in the Yun family after high school, and things were delayed again.
Once the Zhang family's situation stabilized and his position in the court was secure, Nianchu suddenly accepted the marriage proposal from Luo Huaili after receiving praise.
He finally realized that it had all been his fault, and that he shouldn't have done it.
Now, perhaps only a glimmer of hope remains.
He didn't want to give up, and he really couldn't imagine what he would become if Nianchu married someone else.
He had so much left unsaid. Long before Nianchu had any feelings for him, he was the one who dreamed about her first.
At that time, he felt despicable and filthy, and he couldn't face himself at all, that he had such thoughts about his sister.
Later, when Nianchu told him her feelings, he was shocked and overjoyed. He even wanted to ask his doting aunt if he could marry Nianchu in the future.
However, when he arrived, he happened to overhear the conversation between Yun's father and aunt.
Yun's father said that in the end, he was someone else's child, and it was impossible to raise him as his own. He also said that he should stay away from his two daughters.
If he has the ability to do things himself in the future, that's fine. But if he doesn't, then he can only do some servant work in the mansion, which will be more than enough.
My aunt said that if he really had no future, she would make him a manager.
He felt as if he had been doused with cold water, but having experienced the coldness and warmth of human relationships since childhood, he didn't take it too seriously, because his aunt had already been good enough to him.
Even if he doesn't amount to anything in the future, he can still stay in the Yun family as a steward. If his aunt hadn't brought him back, he wouldn't even be able to get such a job.
Moreover, he believes that as long as he is willing to work hard, he will definitely succeed.
His family had fallen on hard times, and his parents had died young. He was already an orphan, and might have starved to death on the streets long ago. Now, not only does he have food to eat and clothes to wear, but his aunt has also hired a tutor to teach him to read. He will never let her down.
He thought... wait a little longer, wait until he has the ability, wait until he shows his talent, and perhaps then he will have the opportunity to ask his aunt for Nianchu's hand in marriage.
However, just as he was studying hard and finally received praise from his master and was admitted to the Imperial Academy, and the teachers at the Imperial Academy also praised him and said that he would definitely have a chance to pass the imperial examination, he thought that he might be able to reciprocate Nianchu's feelings, but he overheard his aunt and nanny talking.
It turns out... he wasn't his parents' biological child.
The mother's child died after birth, and he was the child who was abandoned at the back door of her house that day.
The mother was already struggling to cope with the pain of losing her son, and she felt sorry for him. The doctor said that she had damaged her health and would have difficulty having children in the future, so she adopted him and claimed him to others as her own child.
He was just a bastard child who had been abandoned and wished he could freeze to death on a snowy day.
At that moment, he realized that he was not worthy at all. How could a rich young lady marry a servant?
His aunt didn't mind that he was just an adopted son, but only because of the sisterly bond between her and his mother. He couldn't repay kindness with enmity and become a complete ingrate.
He didn't know how to describe his feelings that day; it was as if he had fallen into complete darkness and could no longer see a ray of light.
Later, Nianchu became increasingly bold. Her repeated approach to him made him feel confused and subconsciously try to avoid her, yet he couldn't help but yearn for her beauty. She was truly despicable.
He grew up in a dark place and was completely unworthy of her, who shone in the sunlight.
Yun Chengze put aside his thoughts, recalling the painful nights he had spent these past few days, and decided he still wanted to tell his aunt what he was thinking.
Zhang Wen looked at Yun Chengze in front of her and nodded: "Okay."
……
When Yun Nianchu returned home, she immediately sensed that the atmosphere was a bit strange, and her heart involuntarily tightened.
Ruozhen had told her before that her cousin would explain the situation to her mother. Could it be that he had already told her?
"Miss, Madam instructed that you should go to her room after you return," the nanny said.
Upon hearing this, Yun Nianchu understood and quickly went to her mother's courtyard. However, as she got closer, her heart started to race again.
She had thought about this countless times that day, but now that it had actually happened, the tension was indescribable.
"Mother."
She went into the house and saw her haggard mother.
Looking at her daughter, Zhang Wen thought about what she had heard from Chengze, and her feelings became extremely complicated.
"Nianchu, do you like Chengze?" Zhang Wen asked bluntly.
Yun Nianchu's heart skipped a beat, then she nodded firmly, "I like it."
Zhang Wen sighed deeply, "Why didn't you tell me all this time?"
Yun Nianchu opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say. It wasn't that she didn't want to say it, but she wasn't even sure of her cousin's feelings, so how could she say it?
“Chengze has told me everything. He fell in love with you years ago. He was the one who kept pestering you, which is why you fell in love with him at such a young age and even knelt down to apologize to me.”
Zhang Wen helplessly held Yun Nianchu's hand, "You child, you should have told me sooner. I'm a terrible mother."
