Killing Yu Zhui became the belief that kept these poor girls alive.

"Does my Yu family still have such a beast? Is there no one to control him? Where are the rest of the Yu family clan? Are they all dead?"

[He's not dead. Your grandfather's branch didn't know at first, but the other branches did. However, because of Yu Qi's seniority in the family, and because he only harmed daughters from lesser families, they felt that these people wouldn't affect them and chose to turn a blind eye.]

In the end, it was because this guy killed another family's daughter that the family refused to settle the matter privately and instead took it to the yamen. Yu Qi stepped in and even brought up your grandfather's name.

It was only then that your grandfather and father learned of the evil deeds Yu Zhui had committed over the years.

Your grandfather made a decisive demand for a severe sentence according to the law, which caused a long dispute between the sixth branch of the family, where Yu Qi lived, and your eldest branch.

This incident also sowed the seeds of disaster for your first branch of the family.

Do you really think that just because Yu Ningrou and Yu Ningrong are married-out daughters, along with their ambitious husbands who know nothing about the Yu family, they can seize all the assets of your eldest son's family and successfully deceive your grandfather?

This led your father, Yu Zhongchun, to be tricked and imprisoned. Your three older brothers rushed to rescue him one after another. Without any inside help, do you think it was possible?

Although the Dayan dynasty was already in turmoil at that time, the Yu family still had five members serving as officials in the imperial court. To bring down the Yu family's main branch, without internal corruption, it wouldn't be so easy.

"So the 'insiders' and 'parasites' you're referring to are the sixth branch of the family, who will become my enemies in the future? Or is it that old man Yu Qi and his descendants were involved?"
