Yu Jinan also thought of this, and his initial joy at his wife and children's escape turned into worry.
After thinking for a moment, Yue Fuguang raised his question, "That's not right. From your previous description, Zui Luosha must have a very big plan behind her."
"Bringing someone like Yu Huaijian on board couldn't possibly be for the sake of the small Yu family, could it?"
Indeed, the destruction of Yu's family and the looting of their property were merely the individual actions of Yu Huaijian and a few of his close associates.
Neither the Drunken Rakshasa nor the organization behind her would consider the Yu family's paltry sums worthwhile.
"So in the end, it was all because of a traitor within the family! Yu Huaijian seems to have an excessive hatred for his family. Was the annihilation of his family simply because he wasn't allowed to acknowledge his ancestors?"
No, a year later, Yu Boyuan will find a way to bring the mother and son into the Yu family mansion, and Yu Huaijian will also be included in the Yu family genealogy.
However, the Yu family had strict rules, and the mother and son did not live the life they had imagined. Instead, they were bound by the rules in every way.
Although Yu Boyuan still loved his son dearly and even had his stepmother, Cheng, find him a good marriage, Yu Boyuan later took in a new wife.
I don't go to Aunt Huang's courtyard much anymore. Aunt Huang is a 'talented woman' in the building, and she likes to talk about romance, poetry, and talented men and women.
Having been redeemed by Yu Boyuan and freed from her suffering, she felt more affection for him. Now, seeing only the new bride's smile, her melancholy and sentimentality as a young, artistic woman resurfaced.
Watching Yu Boyuan take in new wives one after another, she was heartbroken that her beauty had faded and love had come too late. She died in depression less than two years later.
Yu Huaijian's wife also died in childbirth that same year, and he blamed his family for the deaths of his mother and wife.
"This...is it really the Yu family involved?"
No, Huang was already in poor health, and being neglected by Yu Boyuan made her depressed.
Yu Huaijian's wife's difficult childbirth was also due to physical reasons, and no one was behind it.
Yu Huaijian was eighteen years old that year, while his wife was only fifteen when she gave birth. She was young and in poor health, and she also raised the baby in her womb to be too big. How could this have resulted in the death of both mother and child?
The reason why childbirth is said to be like passing through the gates of hell for ordinary women is that, in addition to poor medical technology and lack of protection, most women who give birth are too young.
To conceive a new life before one's own body is fully developed is like passing through the gates of hell!
"I'll make a note of this while you're busy. When I have time, I'll talk to the Empress Dowager and the Empress about it. Even if it can't be written into the laws of Dayan, I'll at least get the higher-ups in Dayan to postpone the marriage age for men and women."
"When the superiors have certain preferences, those below will follow suit even more fervently. It seems that the common people may gradually be influenced by the upper class, forming a trend of sticking to old ways."
"Alright, Little Bead will definitely remember to remind Master. This Yu Boyuan is a scoundrel. His son lost his mother and wife one after another. Apart from giving him a few concubines, he didn't care about anything else."
Instead, he indulged in debauchery with his young and beautiful concubines, which naturally aroused resentment in Yu Huaijian.
His own mother's body was barely cold when his father took concubines one after another, while his other brothers' children were born safely one by one. He slowly began to feel unbalanced.
His resentment was naturally noticed by his 'friends' in the secret service, which led to the tragedy of the fall of Dayan City and the death of the Yu family's second branch.
"He's so old and still taking concubines one after another. Isn't he afraid of harming his health and dying young? Doesn't my second grandfather care?"
Your great-uncle is already in the ancestral grave; the only way to take care of him is to visit him in your dreams at night!
Yu Boyuan's face turned red to the roots of his neck from what the two said. When he thought of his father coming to find him as a ghost, his face instantly turned from red to white!
"So that's how it is. He got carried away as soon as he took charge!"
Yue Fuguang glanced at Yu Boyuan again, her disdain almost overflowing.
[Master, your gaze is too obvious. Don't let the Yu family notice. Yu Boyuan is, after all, your elder on the surface.]
Yu Chongshan and Yu Chongyan: What kind of elder is this bastard! If your granddaughter/grand-aunt doesn't like them, you'd better think of a good reason to beat this bastard up!
So when everyone went to the study to talk after dinner, Yu Boyuan followed his brothers with trepidation, thinking about how to explain things to his uncle and father later.
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a loud shout, and he heard his father say, "Zhongqing, Ji Nan, tie up your eldest brother."
Tie him up? Now? In front of everyone at my uncle's house!
He is, after all, the eldest son of the second wife. Is his father so angry that he doesn't even give him any face?
Yu Qinchun looked at the rope the two brothers had brought and suddenly felt it looked very familiar. This... wasn't this the rope his father used to tie him up when he found out what he had done to Fu Guang?
Those bloodstains on it must be yours, right?
However, only his brother, who acted on behalf of their father, his father, who was overseeing the work, and his younger brother, who was watching the commotion, knew that he had been beaten.
Even his mother, Madam Yu, was unaware that her third son had been disciplined by his father.
At this moment, Yu Qinchun looked at the crowd of onlookers, especially the younger generation, and suddenly felt that although his father and brother had been a bit ruthless when they beat him up, they still loved him and at least gave him enough face!
Yu Boyuan really wanted to cover his face right now, but before he could, he made a last-ditch effort and asked knowingly, "Father, I don't think I did anything wrong tonight, so why are you hitting me? My Huaiming and Huaixian were watching. Please, Father, have some face."
Yu Chongyan sneered, "Face? Do you need that? As for the reason for hitting you, I saw you step out the door with your left foot first, and I didn't like that, so I wanted to beat my son!"
This reason was both powerful and absurd. The younger generation, who didn't understand, looked completely bewildered. Those who could hear the inner thoughts knew that their father/uncle Yuan was in for a beating!
The system even added, "He deserves it! Master, don't plead for him!"
"Don't worry, I'm already being polite by not doing it myself out of respect for our family."
Soon, the sound of Yu Boyuan howling and wailing came from outside. Out of respect for him, none of the younger generation went out to see, except for Yue Fuguang.
[Master, stand back a bit, don't get splattered with blood!]
Heeding advice, Yue Fuguang ate his fill and took two steps back as instructed.
Seeing the moonlight, Yu Chongyan beat his son even harder.
"Little Pearl, look at Second Grandpa, he seems quite healthy now, he can beat his son without stopping, how could he be gone in just two years?"
Yu Chongshan glanced at his younger brother, Chongyan, who was three years younger than him. He shouldn't have gone so early.
【Master, Yu Chongyan did not die of old age. To be precise, he was poisoned with a chronic poison, and it took more than a year from the onset of the poisoning to his death.】
His physical condition was weak and he was often sick, so much so that when he died, his family, including your grandfather, thought he died of illness.
Does the owner want to know who did the attack?
Yue Fuguang rolled her eyes. Isn't that obvious? There's clearly some juicy gossip out there. Why wouldn't she take advantage of it?
Yu Chongyan's life must be spared. With him keeping order, the second wife will become her help instead of a hindrance.
