Chapter 419: Remnants of the Past
If you want to compete with the entire martial arts family, there is a possibility that it is an exception, that is, when you have Lin Yun's strength, you may be able to wrestle with him.
But there is only one Lin Yun, whether it is Old Man Duan or Yu Qilan, they are far from Lin Yun's cultivation back then, so this vigorous love can only end without a problem in the end.
Of course, if the story ends here, then there will be nothing to do with Yu Yuan, and it is precisely because Yu Qilan accidentally found out that she was pregnant after returning home, which triggered a series of later bad fates.
In order to protect this child, and at the same time to keep this sincere love, Yu Qilan did not tell anyone about her pregnancy, and since then she has lived in a simple house, and rarely leaves her room unless she has to.
At first, the Yu family thought that the young lady was in a bad mood, so they didn't care too much, anyway, as long as she stayed at home and didn't run around, especially if she didn't go to the kid surnamed Yu, they wouldn't interfere in her life.
It just happened that during that time, Old Man Duan was also under the supervision of the Duan family, unable to move at all, and a pair of lovers who loved each other could not meet, so Yu Qilan had to concentrate on guarding the fetus in her womb and not letting outsiders find out.
In this way, under Yu Qilan's left and right, it was not until she was more than eight months pregnant that the Yu family realized this cruel fact, but it was too late at that moment, and it was too late to induce labor.
When the head of the house, Aftershock, heard the news, and immediately became furious, and after smashing the countless antique collections in the living room, he had to accept this reality.
But accept and accept, for his uncompetitive daughter, the means that Aftershock has the right to use is solitary confinement, even if it is for a pregnant woman who is about to give birth, even if this pregnant woman is his biological daughter, he will not hesitate to do it!
On the one hand, it is Yu Zhen's indignation at his daughter Yu Qilan's absurd behavior; On the other hand, it is also his helpless move to take charge of the entire family.
As a person in power, setting an example is the top priority of all prestige, if he can't strictly enforce the family rules, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future, so Yu Qilan naturally became the "chicken" who was killed to show the monkey.
In the end, under the double pressure of restricted movement and depressed mood, Yu Qilan unfortunately died in childbirth, and the only thing worth a little comfort is that the baby boy she gave birth to is very healthy, and it also carries her unswerving affection for Old Man Duan to death.
After the death of his daughter, Aftershock seemed to have aged dozens of years overnight, and his energy became much less than before, he was depressed all day long, and he had no intention of managing family affairs, and his only spiritual sustenance was the boy born to his daughter, that is, his only grandson.
People often understand at this time that when a person is vying for power and profit, he always regards family affection as an additional material, dispensable, and sometimes even a drag, making people look forward and backward, unable to exert their full strength.
And when you really lose it, you will realize the importance of family affection, that feeling that blood is thicker than water, which cannot be exchanged for any power and money, and once you miss it, you will no longer have it.
So, after two years of depression, Yu Zhen resolutely resigned as the head of the family and began to cultivate his grandson wholeheartedly, which is a spiritual transfer and a rekindling of hope, and perhaps only this thing can make him regain his strength.
During this time, Old Man Duan had been imprisoned by the Duan family in another city, and he didn't know anything about it, and by the time he learned what had happened, it was many years later.
At that time, Old Man Duan and Yu Qilan's son was already six years old, and he named Yu Nian after his mother's surname, expressing Yu Zhen's longing for his deceased daughter.
Yu Nian has been carefully taught by Yu Zhen since he was a child, and he has a good foundation of internal strength, and even the entire Yu family treats him as the future head of the family, which shows that the future of this son is limitless.
Several times, Old Man Duan wanted to rush to the Yu family and regain his own flesh and blood, but in the end, reason told him that letting that child stay in the Yu family and receive the best training was the best choice for him.
Relatively speaking, Old Man Duan is just a clansman who has made mistakes in the Duan family, in terms of identity and status, none of them can compare to Aftershock, if Yu Nian is allowed to follow him, it will inevitably delay his future future.
After a long period of careful consideration, Old Man Duan finally persuaded himself not to recognize this son anymore, and only silently followed his growth in secret.
For this reason, Old Man Duan deliberately drew a clear line with the Duan family, and never entered the Duan family's gate again, just to give himself more convenient space.
Until today, Old Man Duan has not returned to the Duan family again, although he sometimes cares about the affairs of the Duan family, and occasionally when Duan Peizhong comes to him, he will also help out, but deep in his heart, he has already eliminated himself from the Duan family.
After that, Yu Nian grew up, got married and had children, and at the same time successfully inherited the position of the head of the Yu family, and embarked on the life trajectory designed for him by Yu Zhen.
But later the old man Duan found that Yu Nian was not living happily, perhaps because he had no loving relationship with his parents since he was a child, and he rarely saw a smile on his face, but more of a touch of sadness that did not match his age.
Even after Yu Zhen's death, Yu Nian insisted on going his own way, and did not pass on the position of head of the family to his son, but handed it over to one of his cousins, that is, the current head of the Yu family, Yu Canhai.
In addition, Yu Nian strictly forbade his sons to practice martial arts, making them also disqualified from inheriting the head of the family in the future, demonstrating his determination to stay away from power disputes.
Perhaps from the perspective of others, Yu Nian's behavior is unreasonable, and it can even be said that there is still some madness.
But the old man Duan, who has been observing Yu Nian behind his back, knows very well in his heart that this is a kind of catharsis for Yu Nian's reality, he must know what happened to his parents back then, and in the case of being powerless to change this family, all he can do is change himself.
Only by staying away from this family can we gain freedom in the true sense, and to take this step, we must first get rid of the identity of the head of the family.
However, what is regrettable is that Yu Nian did not wait for that day after all, when he was only in his thirties, he suddenly died of a serious illness.
Looking back on the past, Old Man Duan regretted his decision back then, if he insisted on taking away Yu Nian and dragging him out of the quagmire of that family's power, maybe the outcome would have been different.
There is no regret in this world for monofilament, and the only thing that Old Man Duan is thankful for is that Yu Nian made the right choice and did not teach his children to practice martial arts, although in terms of talent, his son is definitely one of the best in the Yu family......
Originally, the story could have come to an end here, but not long after Yu Nian's death, Yu Canhai accepted his son as a righteous son and treated him like his own son, which was really meticulous and caring.
On the surface, this is Yu Canhai's repayment of Yu Nian's gratitude, you transferred the position of head of the family to me back then, and I will take care of the child for you now, which seems to be benevolent and righteous.
But when you think about it, there's another layer of meaning.
First of all, Yu Canhai's own children are obviously not very successful, although they do not have any bad habits of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, but in terms of martial arts, they can only be called mediocre qualifications, and if they want to carry forward the Yu family's martial arts, it is almost a fool's dream.
Although Yu Nian's son has not practiced martial arts since he was a child, he has amazing bones and excellent physique, and at first glance it is a good material for practicing martial arts, which mostly comes from genetic inheritance, after all, since the aftershock, the Yu family lineage of this vein has outstanding physical fitness, which is more like a gift from God.
If you want Yu Nian's son to learn martial arts from scratch, it is impossible, usually he misses the golden period of martial arts training, and it is impossible to achieve much in the end.
What's more, Yu Nian has already instilled in his subconscious the mode of thinking of resisting martial arts, in this case, it is impossible for a person to study martial arts without distractions.
But Yu Nian's son can't practice martial arts, it doesn't mean that his grandson can't practice martial arts either, Yu Canhai patiently waited for him to get married and have children, and then raised these two children from an early age to become the future successor of the Yu family.
In fact, Yu Yuan and Yu Tian are not Yu Canhai's grandsons, but Yu Nian's grandson, Old Man Duan's great-grandson, and Old Man Duan's real name is called Duan Tiangang!
It took Old Man Duan about an hour to tell those old stories in detail, and the reason why he said it so carefully was because Yu Yuan was now encountering a problem that was exactly the same as he had back then......
Since entering the stone formation seal, everyone has seen the love of Yu Yuan and Duo'er, and from their point of view, there is nothing inappropriate about these two young people, and it can even be called a match made in heaven.
The two grew up together since childhood, and their personalities complement each other, Duo'er is not only beautiful, but also a girl who knows how to take care of people, regardless of their backgrounds, Yu Yuan can be regarded as a blessing to be with her.
Moreover, judging from the cultivation of Duo'er's mother, they should not be ordinary people, although Lin Yun never inquired about their identities, but at least their cultivation was no worse than that of the Yu family.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and a hint of foreboding came to his heart, could it be that Duo'er's parents were also from a certain martial arts family?
When Lin Yun turned his surprised gaze to Old Man Duan, he saw that the old man's eyes also showed the same regret, it seemed that he already knew something more than Lin Yun......
"At dinner yesterday, the old man, I didn't intend to ask about Duo'er's mother's background, but I never thought that they were actually from ......" Old man Duan was just about to continue, when he heard footsteps outside the door, so that he swallowed the last few words back.
