Yu Jiao shook her head, "No."
The third room deserves it. They are obviously close brothers, but they are always causing trouble and making a mess. They have contributed less than others in this family, but enjoy more. As time goes by, how can there not be friction and rifts? They might even turn against each other.
It would be best if the family split up.
"How can this be considered clumsy? If you are really stupid enough to help the third house clean up this mess, I will think that you, the top scholar, are not so qualified and your mind is not so clear." Yu Jiao told the truth.
Yu Qizhe slowly raised the corners of his lips, his eyes filled with smiles.
How could she be so lovely?
Yu Qizhe couldn't help wanting to hug Yu Jiao, so he raised his hand but restrained himself and tapped her forehead lightly, saying in a gentle and doting tone, "Who's stupid?"
Yu Jiao also laughed and rubbed her forehead, "I didn't say you were stupid. You are now a top scholar, and you may even pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official in the future. I will still cling to you! How dare I say you are stupid."
"Holding my thighs?" Yu Qizhe looked at her jokingly, lifted up his skirt, revealing his long legs, "Do you want to give it a try?"
Yu Jiao chuckled, "It's rare that you've learned how to tease people!"
Yu Qizhe looked at her with a smile, his narrow peach blossom eyes were like a pool of shimmering water, "I learned all this from you. I still remember that you used to call me little brother when you needed help from others, but now I can't hear it anymore."
His eyes were so beautiful when he smiled. The already sentimental peach blossom eyes lost their coldness and their gaze seemed to be able to hook people's souls.
Yu Jiao felt her face getting hot. She unconsciously touched her cheek with the back of her hand and said embarrassedly, "It's been so long. How come you still remember it?"
Yu Qizhe chuckled softly, looked at her sideways, and coaxed her, "If you call me brother from now on, I will only let you hug my thighs, how about that?"
He leaned a little close to her. They were sitting at the same table. She seemed to be able to smell his scent. In front of her was his handsome face. Yu Jiao's face became even hotter. She moved her chair aside and said, "No."
"Really?" Yu Qizhe moved closer to her, "If I become a high-ranking official in the future, you won't be able to hug me even if you want to."
Yu Jiao said very ambitiously, "If you don't want to hug me, then don't hug me."
Yu Qizhe said helplessly, "Why are you so stubborn?" He held Yu Jiao's wrist, and before she could react, he grabbed her hand and placed it on his leg, and said with a compromising smile, "I will only let you hug me even if you don't call me brother."
Yu Jiao's face instantly turned red with shame. She stood up, quickly withdrew her hand that was on Yu Qizhe's leg, and said in a panic, "I won't practice calligraphy today," and walked out of the room.
When she returned to the west room, her cheeks were still incredibly hot. The old-fashioned little guy was now very good at flirting. She was no longer the cold and aloof beauty who kept people at a distance.
Yu Fuling was cutting the fabric that Zhao Yu had sent that day. She looked up at Yu Jiao and was a little surprised. "Why is your face so red? The weather has been so good these days, you can't have a fever, right?"
Yu Jiao covered her cheeks with her palms, the warmth of Yu Qizhe's legs still seeming to remain on her palms. She said, "...It's a bit stuffy, as if it's going to rain soon." She pretended to walk to the window and opened it.
"Is it going to rain?" Yu Fuling said without a doubt, "Then I'll ask Dad to quickly bring all the umbrellas hanging in the yard back into the house."
Yu Jiao said that rain is always a good omen. Yu Fuling put down what she was holding and went outside to talk to Yu Qiaoshan.
Yu Jiao said hurriedly, "It won't be ready for a while, probably tomorrow."
"Is that so?" Yu Fuling picked up the cloth again and said worriedly, "It's hard to sell our umbrellas if it doesn't rain, but if it rains, I'm afraid it will be as scary as before. It'll be annoying if it really floods."
Yu Jiao looked at the sky and knew that this autumn flood was inevitable.
During the evening dinner, the table was unusually silent, and everyone in the three rooms seemed to be eating indifferently.
After clearing away the dishes, Yu Ruhai said, "Don't rush to wash up yet, come and listen to the division of the family."
In the afternoon, Yu Hanshan went to find Li Xiu'e and said that he wanted to marry her and bring her and her two children into the Yu family. Li Xiu'e agreed.
Her parents-in-law died early, and she became a widow after her husband died. She raised two children alone and had little contact with her parents' family. She was able to make her own decisions.
It is better to be able to marry into the family in a proper way than to have a secret relationship with Yu Hanshan outside. Besides, her affair with Yu Hanshan has been known to others. The day before yesterday, Chen Gensheng and Chen Genfu came to her house aggressively and forced her to write a confession. Li Xiu'e was almost scared to death and thought that she was finished. Unexpectedly, things turned around and Yu Hanshan wanted to take her in.
Li Xiu'e didn't mind being a concubine. With a scholar in the Yu family, she had no reason to worry about having a good life in the future. Besides, the Yu family was generous enough to let her move in with her two children. As long as the two children could be taken care of, Li Xiu'e had nothing to hesitate about.
She was so moved that she thought Yu Hanshan really had feelings for her and that was why he took the initiative to propose to marry her.
After receiving Yu Ruhai's advice, Yu Hanshan never told Li Xiu'e that the Yu family was going to split up, let alone that their third branch was going to be kicked out of the house.
