Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

444 She was forced [Bonus chapter]

Li Hua held Lóng Wei’s hand and stepped out of the carriage. She took a step forward and looked at the large board hanging at the top of the residence. “YU RESIDENCE,” she read and glanced at Lóng Wei.

They both walked into the residence and found an unknown silence around it. A servant saw Lóng Wei and rushed in to inform Yu Wenyan and Yu Feizhi.

Both the Yu brothers came out to the main courtyard where Lóng Wei and Li Hua were present. Li Hua greeted them by bowing her head. However, Lóng Wei didn’t do so.

“I didn’t expect Prince Lóng Wei to come here,” Yu Wenyan said and glanced at Li Hua. It stunned him that Li Hua made Lóng Wei understand.

“Where is my grandmother?” Lóng Wei jumped directly to the matter for which he had come here.

“Follow us,” Yu Wenyan said and they walked ahead. Li Hua and Lóng Wei followed them to the room, where the old grandmother was present.

Lóng Wei’s two aunts and four cousins stood up to see him. They were truly shocked to see the Sixth Prince. When the old lady expressed her last desire to see Lóng Wei, they all knew that he would never come. However, the opposite happened.

Li Hua found inquisitive gazes in their eyes. She thought to greet them when Lóng Wei tilted his head and looked at her. “Don’t,” He urged her.

“This is my wife, Li Hua,” he introduced Li Hua to them. He again looked at all of them and then at his grandmother, who slowly shifted her head on the pillow to look at Li Hua.

.....

Yu Feizhi saw his mother gesturing with her hand. He went to her and got on her knees asking if she wanted something.

“Lóng Wei,” Lady Yu Shin said in a low voice.

Yu Feizhi looked at Lóng Wei and asked him to come closer. “Mother wants to see you,” he stated.

Lóng Wei stepped up and went toward the bed. He remained standing when one of Lóng Wei’s cousins brought a bamboo stool for him and asked him to sit on that.

Lóng Wei didn’t want to go close to his grandmother. But since these were her last few moments of life, he didn’t say anything and silently sat on the stool, which was close to the bed.

Yu Shin extended her hand out and rested it on Lóng Wei’s cheek. Her eyes had tears in them.

He was shocked by this gesture of his grandmother. He thought she would curse him before her death, but she did something unexpected.

“Give us privacy,” Yu Shin requested and he looked at her son, Yu Feizhi. He nodded his head and told everyone they should leave the room for a while.

Lóng Wei’s elder aunt came to Li Hua and took her outside. She peered at Lóng Wei once more before stepping out of the room with his aunt.

Soon, the room emptied and the doors got closed. Yu Shin lowered her hand and held Lóng Wei’s hand. “How have you been?” Her voice quivered as if she would break into tears anytime.

“I tried to live,” Lóng Wei said. “But after marrying Li Hua, I am happier,” he truthfully told Yu Shin.

“Yu Jun must be happy,” Yu Shin said and held his hand tightly. Lóng Wei felt something strange in those words.

“Wasn’t the Grandmother supposed to be angry at me? It is surprising that she is showing her deep concern for me,” Lóng Wei said and a chuckle escaped his mouth.

“Forgive your grandmother. However, it was necessary at that time,” Yu Shin said.

“Why was it necessary? Grandmother knew well how neglected I felt since the time I was born. I always questioned my existence and I still do it,” Lóng Wei stated and his brows furrowed together.

For the first time, he had this calm conversation with a person who was related to his mother. Else, he would always get annoyed.

“I lost my precious daughter. She didn’t lead a happy life. I thought that her son would understand her,” Yu Shin said and a tear dropped from the side of her left eye.

Lóng Wei scoffed to hear her. “Had she treated me well, I would have fulfilled my duties of a son.” He lowered his eyes and took a deep breath in, “Did you know I wasn’t the King’s Son?”

Yu Shin hummed and nodded her head. Lóng Wei looked into her eyes again and let out the breath that he had held. “Forgive her. She was forced to behave that way,” she told Lóng Wei.

“Who forced her?” Lóng Wei asked.

“You know the answer,” Yu Shin replied.

“She could have told me once. I was always desperate to see her smile at me. But she never once did. It always appeared to me that she never wanted me. She made me hate her,” Lóng Wei said while holding his anger back. “Even if I find out the truth, I may not be able to,” his hand came to his chest, “ever respect her, love her from the bottom of my heart.”

Yu Shin cried to hear him. This was the most painful thing for her. “Yu Jun will not be ever at peace then, Lóng Wei,” she said.

“She brought it upon herself,” Lóng Wei stated with a stern tone.

“If she had not been forced to be a concubine, she would have shown you her true love. She always cherished you,” Yu Shin tried to make her grandson understand.

“She should have died the moment she found out that I was in her womb. Don’t you think everything would have been better today? I didn’t have to become a sinned prince for taking her life,” Lóng Wei questioned her while knitting his brows.

“She left something for you. Make your decision after reading that,” Yu Shin stated and asked him to check the cupboard.

Lóng Wei tilted his head to the left, where a wooden cupboard was present. Yu Shin told Lóng Wei to take out the wooden box from it which was kept at the bottom of the cupboard.

Lóng Wei was stunned to find that his mother left something for him. But, why? He was ready to find the answer.
