Yu Ruhai shuddered all over and glanced at Yu Jiao subconsciously, wanting to signal her with his eyes to help speak, but he only saw Yu Jiao holding the tea and sipping it with her eyes lowered, not even giving him the glance she was supposed to give him.
Yu Ruhai could only kneel down in shame and anger. The moment his knees touched the ground, Yu Ruhai felt that he had lost all face. Ever since Yu Qizhe won the top spot in the imperial examination, his status in the village had risen. Even County Magistrate Gao had to be polite when seeing him. He never thought that he would suffer such humiliation today.
Cheng Ying sneered, and after the old man knelt on the ground, she no longer paid any attention to him, but said to Yu Jiao beside her: "If Yu Qizhe really treated you well, he would not let this old man bully you."
Yu Jiao put down her teacup and did not take Cheng Ying's provocative words to heart.
No matter how disgusting Yu Ruhai is, he is still Yu Qizhe's grandfather. Could he really kill his own relative?
"He made you compromise and endure so much, but I can't bear to do that at all." Cheng Ying played with the sandalwood Buddhist beads and said cynically, "How about I kill him and vent your anger?"
There was a hint of inexplicable coaxing in his tone.
Yu Ruhai, who was kneeling on the ground, turned pale when he heard these words, and his hands and feet began to tremble. He had heard the officials at the banquet whisper that this Cheng Zhangyin's hands were stained with blood, and the heads of people slaughtered by the East Factory under his instruction over the years could be piled up into a Jingguan.
"Please spare my life, Master, I am Qi Zhe's grandfather. Little girl, please help me say something..."
Before Yu Ruhai could finish his plea for mercy, a cup hit him on the head, accompanied by Cheng Ying's cold scolding: "Shut up!"
As blood dripped from his broken forehead, Yu Ruhai's eyes rolled back and he fainted from fright.
Seeing this, Cheng Ying sneered, "You old thing who can't stand being scared!"
After saying this, he paused with his hand twisting the Buddhist beads, and suddenly realized that he had revealed his cruelty again without realizing it. He had become ruthless over the past twenty years. It was a pity that he tried so hard to pretend to be gentle and kind in front of Jiaojiao today and wore this white robe.
"After all, this man is the elder of the Yu family. Godfather, please show some mercy. He is old and he won't live long even if you don't scare him." Yu Jiao glanced at Yu Ruhai lying on the ground. After all, he was the grandfather of Yu Qizhe, so she couldn't really let Cheng Ying do anything to him.
Cheng Ying's heart was filled with malice and jealousy towards Yu Qizhe, and this malice also affected all members of the Yu family. He even disliked everything about the Yu family's yard.
He even thought maliciously that if he massacred all members of the Yu family, would Yu Qizhe and Jiaojiao really come to the end?
Cheng Ying lowered her eyes and glanced at Yu Jiao. Her almond-shaped eyes were crystal clear and bright as water. If he really did that, Jiaojiao would probably never forgive him.
Facing Jiaojiao, he always felt reluctant. He couldn't bear it and didn't dare to use those cruel and decisive means on her. After all, he was afraid that after using any means, all the feelings between him and Jiaojiao in their previous lives would be wiped out, and he would end up in an irreversible situation.
Cheng Ying took a deep breath, put aside all the distracting thoughts in her mind, and said, "Since you are leaving tomorrow, why don't you accompany me to visit the Fahua Temple today? I heard that the temple is very popular and the wishes made there are quite accurate."
Yu Jiao hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
Before going out with Cheng Ying, Yu Jiao went to the kitchen to inform Song and mentioned that Yu Ruhai had fainted in the east wing. She ignored the rest as she didn't want to dirty her hands by bandaging Yu Ruhai's wound.
