Seeing that Yu Yousheng began to soften his heart, Yu Birui quickly knelt on the ground and begged with tears.
"Daddy, please let Mom go! Forgive her this time. Now that you're back, Mom just wants to live a good life with you. She's said she regrets it and should have treated Sister well. If there's another chance, she's willing to treat Sister well."
Although Yu Yousheng was soft-hearted, he still cared about his eldest daughter and looked at her.
Yu Jinshu walked in. "Dad, please let her out! For all the grievances I've suffered over the past decade, consider it my repayment for what you owe her. Let's live a good life in harmony in the future. Only then can Yujiabao be lively and peaceful, instead of being filled with quarrels all day long."
Yu Yousheng couldn't help but shed tears when he heard his eldest daughter's words. "You have used eighteen years of grievance to repay my debt to your stepmother. Jinshu, you are here to repay your father. I have wronged you for these eighteen years."
Yu Jinshu handed his father a handkerchief and said, "Father, all experiences, whether good or bad, are a treasure in life. I don't care about the past. I only care about whether we can live well in the future."
Yu Yousheng nodded: "Jinshu, it's great that you think this way."
He wiped his tears with a handkerchief, then looked at the frail Deng lying on the couch. His face turned cold, but his tone softened. "Move back to the main courtyard! I'll give you freedom, but you must treat Jinshu well from now on. If you try to hurt her again, I will not forgive you."
After hearing this, Mrs. Deng got up from the couch, knelt down in front of Yu Yousheng and kowtowed to him: "My husband, if you can forgive me, I will definitely change for the better and serve you like a slave in the future." She looked at Yu Jinshu again and said, "In the future, I will also treat Jinshu well, even better than Birui." She said it sincerely.
Yu Jinshu just sneered in her heart. She knew Deng's temper and knew that she would never give in to anyone. She must have been instructed by Zhou Xiong to pretend to commit suicide first and then admit her mistake to her father.
As for why she asked her father to release Deng, it was because she wanted Deng to make a move so that she could counter it.
Deng was helped to the main courtyard by Yu Birui and a maid.
Yu Birui also returned to live in her former courtyard.
The next morning, Deng was in high spirits. She went to the kitchen and planned to cook for Yu Yousheng herself, making dishes and nourishing soup.
Yu Yousheng did not live in the same room with Deng, and he still felt uncomfortable with Deng's abuse of Jinshu.
When Mrs. Deng came over with breakfast, Yu Yousheng looked up at her and asked, "Why do you always wear a veil?"
Mrs. Deng smiled softly and said, "I've been living in that courtyard for two days. I've developed some rashes on my face. They're really ugly, so I've put on a veil."
Yu Yousheng didn't feel sorry for her. Instead, he thought of Jinshu and said coldly, "You've only been here for two days and you've already developed a rash on your face. Jinshu has been living there for eighteen years."
Deng immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing. She remembered what Zhou Xiong had told her: to be patient in everything and to admit mistakes humbly.
She calmed down and whispered, "Yes, I know I was wrong. I won't treat Jinshu harshly anymore."
She arranged the breakfast one by one and said, "Husband, come and have breakfast! Don't go hungry."
Yu Yousheng didn't want Deng to feel resentful because of his neglect, so he got up and went to the dining table, sat cross-legged and ate breakfast.
Deng watched Yu Yousheng finish the breakfast she made, then she packed up her bowl and chopsticks and left with satisfaction.
Not long after Deng left, Yu Jinshu arrived.
"Daddy."
"Jinshu, everything here is almost arranged. If you want to return to Shifang Sect, then go back. If you don't want to go back and want to stay in Yujiabao for a few more days, then you can stay a few more days."
Yu Jinshu smiled and said, "Dad, over the years, we have rarely been together. I don't know if you will go on a long journey again. I just want to stay home with you for a while longer."
She absolutely cannot leave Yujiabao until the conflict between Deng and Zhou Xiong is resolved.
Yu Yousheng nodded and said, "That's fine. Let Zhongli Jin go back home and discuss it with his parents. Then he can come to Yujiabao to propose marriage. We can just arrange your marriage and you can return to Shifang Sect to cultivate peacefully."
Yu Jinshu smiled and nodded: "Okay, Dad, I'll let the eldest brother go back now."
Yu Yousheng gave her a smirk and said, "Why are you so anxious, kid? Just ask him when he wants to come back. Don't rush him, or people will say you're more anxious than he is."
Yu Jinshu smiled and said, "Dad, he is more anxious than me!"
After saying this, she took out a small medicine bottle and handed it to her father: "Dad, this is a pill that can improve your cultivation. It is made by the Ten Directions Sect's Alchemy Room. If you take one every morning, I guarantee that your cultivation will be improved."
Yu Yousheng carefully examined the small medicine bottle in his hand and said with a smile, "This is what Zhongli Jin asked you to give it to me."
Yu Jinshu nodded: "Yes, he made it himself, and the effect is very good."
This elixir can indeed improve one's cultivation, but it was not produced by the Shifang Sect, nor was it refined by Zhongli Jin. Instead, she bought it from the system mall, and it contains a detoxification pill.
Deng was Zhou Xiong's woman, but she was willing to serve her husband like this in front of Zhou Xiong. Generally speaking, she had evil intentions, and her breakfast must have been poisoned.
"Daddy, eat one now."
Yu Yousheng opened the medicine bottle, took out a pill and ate it.
Seeing that his father had taken the detoxifying pill, Yu Jinshu felt relieved and stood up and said, "Dad, I'm leaving first."
Yu Yousheng nodded: "Go!"
He knew that Jinshu must have gone to ask Zhongli Jin to go home and discuss their marriage with his family.
After Yu Jinshu came out, he went straight to the kitchen.
On the way, she saw Deng talking to several embroiderers, asking them to bring cloth and needles and thread so that she could make a robe for her father herself.
Deng used to be an extremely lazy person. She never did needlework, saying that it would hurt her fingers and she couldn't wear nail polish.
Now she has to make a robe for her father herself. It seems that she has to act out the whole act!
After Deng left, Yu Jinshu went into the kitchen.
The little bit of food left by her father was still thrown there, and the people in the kitchen hadn't had time to wash it. She quickly took out the drug test stick she bought from the system mall to test for poison.
As soon as the drug testing stick was inserted, the screen in front of her appeared under her consciousness.
Ghost Bone-Eroding Water: The incubation period is ten days. After ten days, all the muscles and bones in the body will become brittle and rotten, and the person will be paralyzed in severe pain. After another ten days, all the spiritual power will be lost, and after another ten days, the person will die suddenly.
What a cruel pair of adulterers, they actually wanted to torture my father to death.
It also says that this poison is made from the nine most poisonous plants and the nine most poisonous animals from the humid areas of the south.
It seems that it was Zhou Xiong who provided it to Deng.
Zhou Xiong has such a sinister and poisonous nature, he must have harmed many people in his daily life.
