Yu Zhou cried out in surprise, and hurried over to support Yu Ruhai, saying anxiously, "Call the doctor!"

Yu Mengshan's face also showed anxiety and worry, fearing that the old man would really get angry and die. He took Yu Ruhai from Yu Zhou and placed him on a chair to take his pulse.

After taking the pulse, Yu Mengshan breathed a sigh of relief and explained to the anxious Yu Zhoushi that the old man was so angry that he passed away, and it was nothing serious.

Yu Zhou caught a glimpse of Yu Qizhe standing there with a cold expression. Even when the old man fainted, his expression did not change at all. Such a cold character really made her feel cold in her heart. With the situation like this today, she was afraid that she could not stay in the capital. Thinking that the trouble caused by Yu Jinshu had not been resolved, she felt a headache.

After having Yu Mengshan send the old man back to his room, and sending Yu Jinshu and his brother back to the courtyard opposite to take care of him, Yu Zhou calmed down and said to Yu Qizhe earnestly, "Fifth brother, your grandfather is used to being the head of the family. Don't take his words to heart. Back then, our family was really poor and had so many people. If we didn't live in such a tight situation, we would have to learn from those families who sell their children for food and clothing."

"I know you have resentment in your heart, and you are angry that your grandfather and I favor the third wife, but it is the nature of a parent to love their own children. If it were your parents, if there was only one mouthful of food left in the family and they were at the end of their rope, they would also save that mouthful of food for you instead of giving it to Zhixing and Zhizhou."

Yu Qizhe listened quietly. He always knew that Yu Zhou was a smart and ruthless person. Seeing that others could not persuade her, she bluntly revealed her own selfish motives in order to dispel his disgust.

Yu Zhou continued, "You and Jin Shu and Jin Yan are at odds, and it's all my fault. I was biased and protective, which led to the discord between you two brothers. But after all, we are a family, and we all have the blood of the Yu family flowing in our veins. I am an old woman with little experience, but I know that the high-ranking families in this world can be famous because of their descendants. A single tree cannot make a forest. Now that you have made a difference, the whole family depends on you, but there may be a time in the future when you will need the family members."

Yu Qizhe said calmly, "Grandma, have you finished?"

Yu Zhou: ...

Seeing that he was still unmoved, thinking about the trouble Yu Jinshu had caused, Yu Zhou gritted her teeth and said, "I will persuade your grandfather to go back to his hometown with your parents, but Jinshu and Jinyan must stay in the academy in the capital to study. I will tell them not to bother you unless necessary. Although I favored the third branch when you were studying, I never shortchanged you. When you went to Beijing to take the exam, your grandfather even spent all the money in the family. You should take care of their expenses for studying in the capital."

Yu Qizhe didn't say anything. If Yu Jinshu and the others wanted to stay in the capital, they could stay. He didn't care. But if anyone had any intentions towards Yu Jiao and made her unhappy, don't blame him for being ruthless.

As for wanting him to give money to the people of the Third House? Yu Qizhe sneered in his heart, saying that he was petty-minded. He still remembered all the things that the Third House had done to bully the Second House.

Seeing that Yu Qizhe didn't say anything, Yu Zhou's heart sank and she took a step back, "Don't worry about their expenses, just pay for it from the public treasury." When they returned to the village, they would just ask the second house to pay more money to the public treasury. Yu Mengshan and Song were still easier to talk to than their son.

"Grandma has already made the plan. What does it have to do with me where the third branch wants to study?" Yu Qizhe said.

Yu Zhou heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, knowing that he agreed. After all, Yu Jinshu and Yu Jinyan stayed in the academy in the capital to study, and they lived and ate in the academy, which really had little to do with Yu Qizhe. But if she didn't get his consent, Yu Zhou was really afraid that Yu Qizhe might be unhappy and do something small, which would directly ruin Yu Jinyan's path to the imperial examination.

Yu Zhou looked embarrassed and said, "It's just that I have caused a lot of trouble. I have to trouble you to help me solve it."
