"You..." Yu Jinshu's eyes flashed with anger.
Yu Jiao raised her chin slightly. Although she was shorter than Yu Jinshu, it did not hinder her from looking down on others.
Her expression, which clearly showed that she wanted to take advantage of Lin Arsen's power, immediately aroused Yu Jinshu's anger.
Seeing this, Yu Jinyan raised his hand and put it on his shoulder, fearing that Yu Jinshu would not be able to control his bad temper in front of Lin Arsen and would have another argument with Meng Yujiao.
Doing so would be a clear sign of hurting Lin Arsen's reputation and offending him, which would be more trouble than gain.
Yu Jinshu gritted his teeth and endured it again and again. He took a deep breath secretly, then softened his tone and said stiffly, "I'll remember it."
Yu Jiao narrowed her almond eyes and smiled generously, "Just remember it."
"Doctor Yu, I'll take my leave first." Lin Arsen bowed to Yu Jiao and said goodbye.
Hearing Yu Jinshu calling Yu Jiao "Sister", he understood in his heart that these people were also members of the Yu family. Since it was Doctor Yu's family affair, he shouldn't interfere too much.
Yu Jiao nodded, "Master Lao Lin will take me back."
Lin Arsen got on the carriage, raised the whip in his hand, and the carriage started moving with a "da da" sound.
Yu Jinshu took a step forward. Having just met Yu Jiao, he forgot about giving the silver to Master Zhang. Thinking that Lin Arsen was going back to the city, he wanted to take his carriage. However, before he could say anything, the carriage had already gone far away.
Several people were standing outside the courtyard gate. Yu Jiao walked straight towards the gate without looking around, and Yu Fuling followed with the medicine box in her arms.
Yu Jinshu glared at her, and hurried to give Master Zhang the silver. He didn't care to bother Yu Jiao anymore, and said, "Let's go to Uncle Zhou Xiang's house to borrow a bullock cart and go back to the academy."
Yu Jinyan stopped him, glanced at Yu Jiao who had already entered the courtyard, and said, "Instead of going to Master Zhang, it would be better to go to Principal Lin."
If Principal Lin is willing to write a letter of recommendation for the three of them, given his reputation, even if the Zhang family wants to make some small moves, it will be of no avail.
Yu Zhizhou said, "Fourth brother is right. Master Zhang is in cahoots with the Zhang family. It might be a waste of time to ask him for money..."
Yu Jinshu frowned and said, "You are talking lightly. If it weren't for a student that Shanzhang Lin liked, why would he easily write a letter of recommendation for someone?"
There is no need to mention the reputation of Principal Lin. If he is willing to help recommend them, the names of the three of them will surely be on the list of students to be selected for the county examination this autumn. However, the three of them are not students personally accepted by Principal Lin, and Yu Jinshu and Yu Zhizhou entered the county school very late, so only Yu Jinyan has heard Principal Lin's lectures.
Yu Zhizhou kindly reminded, "Although we are not familiar with the headmaster, don't we have one at home? Meng Yujiao probably went to headmaster Lin's house last night for a consultation. If she can get Senior Brother Lin Arsen to drive her back personally, she might be able to have a say with the headmaster."
Yu Jinyan also thought so, which is why he stopped Yu Jinshu from going to the county school to find Master Zhang.
Yu Jinshu's eyes lit up. It was Meng Yujiao who caused the three people to be removed from the recommendation list. Since she was implicated, it was her responsibility to step forward and take care of the recommendation matter.
Yu Jinshu hurried into the courtyard to find Yu Jiao.
As soon as Yu Jiao entered the yard, Yu Ruhai called her to the main hall. When Zhao saw her come back, she looked ferocious and wanted to attack her, but was stopped by Yu Ruhai.
He had a sullen face, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could almost pinch a fly to death. He asked coldly, "When you followed Zhang Zhuangtou to treat Miss Zhang's illness, how did you offend the Zhang family?"
Yu Jiao raised her eyebrows and glanced at the faces of everyone in the room. Seeing that Zhao looked as if she wanted to tear her apart, she slowly asked, "What happened?"
"You still have the nerve to ask? You jinx! You've ruined my son's future!" Zhao's face was full of anger, and she scolded Yu Jiao in a sharp voice.
A hint of coldness flashed across Yu Jiao's almond-shaped eyes, and she glanced at Zhao indifferently.
Thinking of how Yu Jinshu had come up to her to cause trouble just after she got off the carriage, she frowned slightly and said slowly, "The fact that Miss Zhang was treating her private illness was known to the Shen family, to whom she was engaged. The young master of the Shen family broke off the engagement with her on the grounds that Miss Zhang was not pure. The village head Zhang came a few days ago and told me that Mr. Zhang believed that I was the one who spread the news."
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Yu Ruhai said coldly, "Do you know what the Zhang family master did to vent his anger on you? He had someone remove Jin Yan and the other two from the list of candidates recommended for the provincial tribute this fall! How could we afford to offend that kind of people? The future of Jin Shu and Jin Yan has been ruined because of you!"
As Yu Ruhai spoke, he was shaking with anger and slammed his hand heavily on the table.
After hearing what he said, Yu Jiao stood in the hall without saying a word. She felt annoyed with the Zhang family. Although she didn't care whether Yu Jinshu and the other two could pass the imperial examination, and she also felt that even if they took the next imperial examination, they might not pass. However, the Zhang family took their anger out on her and Yu Jinshu and the other two. This was really excessive.
"You go to Zhang's house with Jinshu and the others now. I don't care how you apologize to Mr. Zhang, but you must calm the anger of the Zhang family and ask him to show mercy and allow Jinshu and the other two to take the provincial examination." Yu Ruhai was anxious to find a solution, which was why he could hold back and didn't attack Yu Jiao right away.
Yu Jinshu had already entered the main hall and said to Yu Jiao, "No need to go to Zhang's house, go find Principal Lin and ask him to recommend the three of us!"
