Hearing that the old man was making such a fuss because he was afraid that the He family would come to cause trouble, Song Shi hurriedly spoke up to defend Yu Jiao, "Since the He family has released Meng girl, they will definitely not pursue the matter. Dad, why are you doing this? The He family insisted on arresting you before, but it was Meng girl who persuaded them to take her away alone. She, a little girl, took all the trouble for you, and fortunately she came back alive. Can't you and mother treat her better?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhou's face darkened. "What do you mean she took the blame for your father? The prescription was originally written by her. What does it have to do with your father?"
Yu Ruhai was also furious. He coughed hard, his face flushed red, and he managed to spit out the phlegm in his throat. With his trembling old hands, he angrily slammed the table and cursed at Song, "You bastard! Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
Seeing the old man's ferocious look, Song was afraid that he would get angry and do something bad, so she said softly, "Dad and Mom, calm down. Your daughter-in-law will take Meng girl back to the house."
After that, she pulled Yu Jiao outside, thinking that if Yu Jiao was no longer in front of the old man, perhaps the two of them would not be so angry.
Yu Zhou refused and said angrily, "Stop! Let her go. There is no such person in my Yu family."
Before Song could speak, Yu Qizhe said, "Grandma, Meng Yujiao is from my room. She is my wife and a member of the Yu family. If she wants to stay, no one can drive her away. If grandpa and grandma insist on her leaving, then we have to separate from our second room."
His face looked calm, but his words were powerful.
Yu Jiao suddenly raised her eyes to look at him, and Yu Qizhe was looking back at her. Seeing that Yu Jiao's almond-shaped eyes were watery and clear, as if she wanted to see into his heart, Yu Qizhe quickly looked away.
"Fifth brother, are you sick and confused? Your second branch is actually going to split up the family just for this little bitch?" Yu Zhoushi didn't expect Yu Qizhe to say such harsh words.
Yu Qiaoshan quickly helped out, "Meng girl is Fifth Brother's roommate. He said this because he was afraid that our parents would drive her away. The talk of dividing the family cannot be true."
Yu Ruhai was so angry that he could not speak. His head was dizzy and he looked depressed. He glared at Yu Qiaoshan.
Yu Zhou scolded, "What does your eldest wife have to do with it? Stop interfering!"
Zhang tugged at Yu Qiaoshan's sleeve, telling him to stop talking, lest the old man and the old lady vent their anger on their eldest family.
Yu Ruhai looked at the people from the second room who were protecting Yu Jiao. Although Yu Fuling had not spoken since entering the room, she also looked like she was going to protect Yu Jiao.
His old voice was tired and full of disappointment. "You are all good people in the second branch. What kind of magic potion did she feed you? For such a disaster, you disrespected your elders and disobeyed them. You even want to split up the family. It's good..."
He stood up and walked towards the east room in a daze.
Yu Zhou's eyes flickered slightly, she was somewhat tempted. Yu Qizhe couldn't carry anything, and Yu Mengshan had a broken leg, so they couldn't do much work. Separating the second house might not be a bad thing, but it was a pity that the old man was so angry that he didn't agree to it.
Seeing Yu Ruhai return to the house, Yu Zhou knew that she couldn't chase Yu Jiao away today. She said with a sullen face and a fake smile, "Do you, the second branch, deserve your father's kindness in raising you? For the sake of an outsider, you don't care about your father's life or death. You are really filial."
After making such a big fuss, they still failed to drive Yu Jiao away. Seeing that the old man and Yu Zhou had already stopped, Yu Hanshan could no longer be arrogant, but he still said, "Second brother, if Dad gets mad at you, this matter will not be over!"
Yu Mengshan was an honest and filial man. He felt uncomfortable when Yu Hanshan accused him of this and thought about the old man's words. Yu Qiaoshan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't take what the third brother said to heart. Dad is in good health. Nothing will happen. It will be fine once he calms down."
Yu Mengshan nodded and smiled bitterly.
The atmosphere in the whole hall was depressing. Everyone in the two rooms went back to their rooms. Yu Jiao originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to get her indenture back, but unfortunately the old man and Yu Zhou were too troublesome. They started scolding and beating her as soon as they came, and did not even give her a chance to ask for her indenture.
Yu Jiao went back to the house to get the herbs she bought from Huichuntang, and went to the kitchen to boil medicine for Yu Qizhe.
Song was worried, so she pulled Yu Qizhe aside and asked him, "What's going on with the He family? Will they come to cause trouble again?"
In order to reassure his parents, Yu Qizhe said truthfully, "Probably not. The prescription Yu Jiao gave Old Master He was very effective."
Song and Yu Mengshan both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard him say that. Yu Mengshan said, "Then the He family won't send anyone to arrest your grandfather anymore, right?"
Yu Qizhe nodded, his voice a little cold, "No, Yu Jiao prescribed a new prescription, and Old Master He is almost recovered from his illness. Grandfather and grandmother..."
He didn't want to talk about his elders behind their backs, so he stopped talking midway.
Song and Yu Qiaoshan also sighed. Who knew what the old man and the old lady were thinking? This time, all thanks to Yu Jiao, not only did they not show any gratitude, but they also wanted to kick her out of the house.
In the evening, Yu Jinyan and Yu Jinshu rushed back from the academy. It was not yet the academy's closing day, and the Yu family was in trouble now. If they were involved in the He family's affairs, their future would be ruined.
Zhao had no time to be happy, and wanted to drive them back, "Why are you back? Something happened at home, you should go back to the academy and come back home after some time."
"My family and I already know about this." Yu Jinshu asked, "Where is grandpa?"
"How did you know?" Zhao asked, and then said, "Your grandfather was mad at the couple from the second house, and he's lying in the room!"
Yu Jinyan frowned, "What's going on?"
Zhao pouted and said, "It was all because of that bitch named Meng from the second house. Her prescription harmed people, and your grandfather was afraid that they would come to settle the score again, so he wanted to drive her out of our Yu family. The second son and his wife protected her, and even that sickly girl tried to stop him."
After hearing this, Yu Jinyan didn't bother to say more to Zhao and turned to go to the east room to find Yu Ruhai.
Yu Jinshu said to Zhao, "Zhou Shitou went to the academy and told me and Jinyan that my grandfather got sick after being treated by the He family in the city, and he was almost captured by the He family. But didn't the He family capture Meng Yujiao? Why did they let her go again?"
"Who knows? She said that it was the master of the He family who released her. Although your grandfather treated Old Master He's illness, the prescription came from Meng Yujiao." Zhao whispered, "Now that Meng Yujiao has been released, I'm afraid the He family will come to trouble your grandfather again. Your grandfather can't get into trouble. Our family all depends on your grandfather's medical skills to survive. It's most appropriate to push the He family's affairs onto Meng Yujiao, and the prescription is related to her in the first place."
