CHAPTER 476: CHAPTER 411 MAJOR EVENT

"The joy of tonight..."

While silently reflecting on these four words, Yu Wenquan slowly turned his head and looked at Yu Wenye, who was sitting on the other side. For the first time, a hint of bewilderment appeared on his dignified face.

It was as if, in an instant, he was caught in some memory.

However, Yu Wenye sat there motionless, as if he was unaware and unfazed by it all.

This somewhat eerie atmosphere left Shang Ruyi feeling puzzled, but she didn’t dare to say anything, merely watching them cautiously. Yet Aunt Hui, sensing something, immediately showed a hint of nervousness on her face.

She hadn’t expected that everything done today was to mark Yu Wenqian’s long-overdue return to the Yuwen Family after setting aside his practices, to showcase his unparalleled status as the Heir of the Duke. It was all arranged to overshadow others significantly. Everything went so smoothly, yet upon presenting this jar of wine, everything suddenly changed.

Yu Wenquan, initially joyful at the return of his eldest son, seemed to have developed other emotions at the sight of the wine jar.

"Duke..."

Aunt Hui, somewhat nervous, was about to say something when Yu Wenquan already looked up, giving her a deep look.

This look carried no anger, nor did his expression change, but Yu Wenquan’s innate aura as a military general and his intimidating presence made people feel cold inside. Aunt Hui suddenly felt her throat choke and couldn’t utter a word.

All of this was also seen by Yu Wenqian on the side.

He smiled and said, "Aunt Hui, today I returned home with the house decorated colorfully, which is already too ostentatious. This jar of wine... is the wedding wine from back then, and it’s not suitable for today’s event."

"..."

"It’s better to put it away properly and wait for a real joyous occasion to bring it out again."

After saying this, he looked at Yu Wenquan: "Father, is this alright?"

Yu Wenquan remained silent for a moment and then calmly said, "As you suggest."

Yu Wenqian immediately gestured to Aunt Hui, who did not dare to speak further and quickly took the wine jar away.

Only then did the servants on the other side serve wine again.

The newly presented wine was a jar of Spring of Fushui. Although it wasn’t the same as the over twenty-years-casked Nine Brewed Spring, the wines stored in Daxing City’s Duke Mansion were all treasures. Just opening a jar filled the air with a fragrant aroma, enough to intoxicate at a mere whiff. Despite being somewhat heavy-hearted, Yu Wenquan’s mood lightened slightly after a cup of wine.

Looking up at his two sons, he showed a hint of a relieved smile.

Yu Wenquan sighed lightly and said, "In any case, tonight is something to be happy about. It brings me great joy as a father to see both of you brothers before me. If all three of you brothers were here, then—"

Yu Wenqian said, "Third Brother is now guarding Taiyuan and gaining experience, which is also a good thing."

However, Yu Wenye did not seem too reassured.

After a moment of silence, he said, "But Father, Elder Brother, is it really prudent to leave such an important place as Taiyuan to the care of Third Brother?"

"..."

"He’s still young and has not been on the battlefield before..."

Yu Wenquan smiled and said, "I have left Huang Gongyi there. Cheng’er may be mischievous, but with someone like him by his side to keep him in check, he won’t make any major mistakes."

"..."

"As long as the situation in Daye City stabilizes—things will be manageable."

After saying this, the eyes of the people in the banquet hall flickered slightly.

Especially Shang Ruyi.

Even if others didn’t dare to think about it, or thought of it but didn’t dare to express it openly, she knew very well that the situation referred to by Yu Wenquan in Daye City was definitely more than just him, as the current Grand Chancellor, stabilizing the situation.

Having reached this point, he must be thinking of more.

Thus, he had to ensure that Yu Wencheng didn’t lose Taiyuan lightly, because once his work in Daye City truly succeeded, Taiyuan would become the second most important place under Daye City in the entire realm, that is—

The Dragon Raising Land!

However, Daye City currently indeed faces a crisis.

Upon this thought, she subconsciously wanted to say something but hesitated, for this was, after all, a family banquet, and her position at this moment made it inappropriate to say much.

Just then, Yu Wenye, who had been keeping his head low and looking at the amber light in his cup, suddenly stood up and raised his glass to Yu Wenqian, saying, "Elder Brother."

Yu Wenqian, hearing this, also stood up.

Yu Wenye said, "You have traveled for years and finally returned today. It’s not only a family reunion but also my fortune as a brother. From now on, whether it’s small matters in the mansion, or significant affairs in the Yuwen Family, or even major events in Daye City, we must rely much on Elder Brother."
