Yu Jiao wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into the body of a poor rural girl, sold off in a marriage of luck to a sickly man.
Thinking she’s landed in a farming-romance novel, ...
Yu Ruhai's words did not have any soothing effect. Yu Jinshu hurriedly pulled Yu Jinyan and said, "Grandpa and grandma love you the most. Jinyan, please say something!"
Failing the exam dealt a heavy blow to Yu Jinyan's pride in claiming that he was as smart as Yu Qizhe, and Yu Hanshan's affair with a young widow crushed his self-esteem.
He was too embarrassed to say anything about such a shameful thing.
Yu Qizhe's role in this family changed the moment he got to know Yuan Lang from him.
"Fifth brother...you are right. If you make a mistake you have to take the consequences. I have no objection to grandfather's decision." Yu Jinyan let out the resentment and depression in his heart. He couldn't think of a better way to solve the problem. He had to admit that Yu Qizhe's method might be the best.
If he were Yu Qizhe, he would also kick out the bad apple in the third room.
When the incident happened, the third branch of their family had already been abandoned by the family.
He understood how much his grandfather valued academic achievement, and no matter how hard the family was in recent years, he never lost the money they spent on tuition. When Yu Qizhe was in poor health and on the verge of death, his grandfather never stopped paying for his medicine, just because of his talent for studying.
He actually had no complaints. After all, his grandparents had always favored their third branch, him and his second brother, over the years. They had not suffered from Yu Qizhe's illness, and his father had not broken his leg, so this kind of trouble had happened.
Perhaps this is the destiny of the universe. If a person is favored by God in one aspect, he will return the favor in other aspects.
Yu Jinyan closed his eyes and gave a bitter smile at his rare clarity and self-awareness at the moment.
"Jinyan? You... your brain was squeezed by the door?" Yu Jinshu didn't expect him to say that and was extremely disappointed in him.
Only the third son was Yu Zhou's biological son. Severing the relationship was like tearing out Yu Zhou's heart. She was so anxious that she burst into tears. "Master, you kicked the third son and his family out of the house. How can they live? Jinshu and Jinyan's future will be completely ruined..."
Seeing his wife in tears, Yu Ruhai sighed heavily and said angrily, "Who made them have such an inconvenient father! Third brother, you really ruined your family!"
Yu Hanshan knelt on the ground, his face pale. He never expected that he would be kicked out of the house for just having an affair.
The situation of family division cannot be reversed. Yu Ruhai has made up his mind, and Yu Zhoushi has no way to remedy the situation.
Although it was just a formality for outsiders to see, the land and money still had to be divided equally so that it would not seem too fake. Yu Ruhai got up to settle the family assets. The most important thing was that if the third branch was driven out, he had to find them a place to live.
The farce ended temporarily, and the first and second wives returned to their own rooms.
Although the people in the first and second houses have always been dissatisfied with the old man and the old lady's favoritism towards the third house, they still feel uncomfortable and sigh when it comes to the point of dividing the family today.
A big family is everyone’s root and the foundation for his or her survival.
When the family is divided, the strength is dispersed.
Yu Jiao didn't feel too much about it. After all, she was not a member of the Yu family.
After returning to the house, she hesitated for a moment, moved the five fingers of her left hand slightly, faced the direction of the Chen family, and began to calculate.
After divination, she entered Yu Qizhe's room.
Yu Qizhe looked normal, as if nothing had happened. He sat at the desk reading a book as usual.
Seeing Yu Jiao coming in, he looked up and asked, "Want to practice calligraphy?"
Yu Jiao nodded, sat down on the chair beside him, picked up the pen but didn't write anything. She stared at Yu Qizhe's calm profile for a while before she spoke, "The old lady of the Chen family should have passed away, but the Chen family kept the news secret and didn't announce the death."
Yu Qizhe raised his head, put down the book in his hand, and seemed to be listening to Yu Jiao very seriously.
But there was no expression of surprise on his face.
Yu Jiao continued, "A few days ago, I woke up one night and heard some noise outside the courtyard gate. I went to take a look and saw four or five people from the Chen family carrying something and heading towards the back mountain with shovels in their hands. When they came back, the thing they were carrying was gone. I guess the Chen family must have secretly buried Old Lady Chen's body."
"That's why you asked me that day whether I had to observe the mourning period after my father passed away?" Yu Qizhe said.
Yu Jiao nodded.
She had just divined that someone from the Chen family had passed away, and that person could only be the old lady of the Chen family.
Yanli values filial piety, and extramarital affairs can be serious or minor. Hiding the death of a parent and burying him secretly are different, as they are serious crimes.
This handle is even more deadly and can easily break the Yu family’s current situation.
She didn't say it in the main hall just now because the situation of the third room had nothing to do with her. It was Yu Hanshan who was just being playboy. She agreed with Yu Qizhe on this point. People should pay for their mistakes.
I told Yu Qizhe now just to let him concentrate on his studies. With this handle to restrain the Chen family, he doesn't need to worry about the affairs of the third house affecting his career.
Yu Qizhe took the pen from Yu Jiao's hand, turned around, and looked at her face to face with extremely serious eyes, "If, I mean if, I don't plan to tell this matter, and still want grandfather to separate the family and sever ties with the third branch, will you... think I'm clumsy?"
There was not much change in his facial expression, but the fingers tightly gripping the pen revealed a hidden nervousness.
When Yu Jiao asked him about the mourning period that day, he had actually already thought of the Chen family.
Yu Qizhe had complete faith in Yu Jiao's medical skills. She said that Old Mrs. Chen could not be saved and was going to die, so there was no doubt that Old Mrs. Chen would pass away.
However, the Chen family had no intention of holding a funeral. This must be for Chen Zhiqing to pass the imperial examination smoothly. Yu Qizhe had already thought of this.
But he is a cold-blooded man who will never let go of any grudge.
He didn't like the third wife, especially Yu Jinyan, because Yu Jiao had once thought of hooking up with him.
He didn't mind so much before, and even didn't care.
But now, he realized how narrow-minded he was. He was petty, jealous and vengeful.
If he gets the chance, he will take revenge. Even if Yu Jinyan was not at fault, he does not want Yu Jiao to live under the same roof with him anymore.
And his third uncle almost beat Yu Jiao to death. He still remembered the bloody wounds on her legs.
What was even more disastrous was that he even dared to use the money he had saved for Yu Jiao to please the young widow.
Yu Jiao made him realize his own meanness, viciousness and cold-heartedness.
But Yu Qizhe didn't dare let Yu Jiao see this side of him. When he asked this question, he was very cautious and tried his best to restrain the sinister and morbid madness in his heart for fear of seeing her disgusted expression.
Maybe he will become more cruel and ruthless in the future, or maybe that's just his nature. But he doesn't want Yu Jiao to be afraid of him, hate him, or think he's hideous.
It was just a small test right now. If she didn't like himself like this, then he would act the way she liked in front of her.
