Old Madam Yu’s body went limp, and her lips trembled.

Back then, without taking an impartial approach, the root of trouble was left in the end. Now that Roujia had died early, the eldest was indignant, the second was resentful, and the brothers were at odds.

She had schemed for the Yu Residence and her two sons for her entire life, She had even lost her health because she hoped that one day, she would be able to fulfill Old Master’s instructions before he died.

However, in the end, the Yu Residence was still defeated in her hands.

Yu Zongzheng was furious and had already lost his rationality. “It’s because 1 don’t have a brighter future than Second Brother. If Second Brother marries Madam Xie, it’ll ruin his future. If I marry Madam Xie, I can still use her money to pave the way for Second Brother’s future.”

Old Madam Yu tried to explain, “1 didn’t do this all for your second brother.

Back then, your ranking in the imperial examination was barely medium. The Yu Clan was close to defeat, and the Yu Residence was in dire straits. When you and your second brother first entered the royal court, everything was not smooth sailing. Your second brother was better, and Elder Xia took a fancy to him. However, you’ve been in the capital for a year or two. If you can’t make any political achievements, you’ll be completely buried. If you want a way out, you can only be demoted. However, how can you live easily after being

demoted…

If capable people were demoted, they would definitely be able to stand out after staying in the area for two to three years.

However, Eldest Son was only average, and the Yu Residence was in dire straits. No one in the clan was in the capital to help pave the way for him. When he arrived, he had to rely on himself.

If he couldn’t make a name for himself, he would die of old age without anything.

She did not want her eldest son to work so hard.

However, Yu Zongzheng refused to listen. In his ears, Matriarch Xie’s words undoubtedly became evidence that he was inferior to his second brother. “There are many families in the capital that are compatible with my family and beneficial to my career. Why do you insist on me marrying Madam Xie?”

His future was not as good as Second Brother’s, but the Yu Clan was a big scholarly family. He was a proper scholar, and he was also the eldest son of the first wife in the family. In the future, when he inherited the family business, he would be able to marry a scholarly daughter.

He did not necessarily have to marry a businesswoman like Madam Xie.

At the mention of this, Old Madam Yu also regretted it.

Second Brother had written “Sea Map Strategy” and helped the Imperial Court lift the sea ban. The Xie Residence had also received praise from the Imperial Court and was also glorious. When she saw Rou Jia, she thought she was magnanimous and bright, like a pomegranate flower on a tree. Old Madam Yu had been a widow for so many years, and it was rare to see such a lively and bright person like Roujia. An idea was lit up in her mind.

After that, she couldn’t help but think about this.

She was a Buddhist, so she felt that the Xie Residence was indebted to the Yu Residence. This was also a rare fate. Roujia was smart and capable. As the eldest daughter-in-law, she could support the family.

Then, she thought about it carefully.

The Yu Residence was indeed in dire straits. If they had ties with the Xie Residence, there would indeed be many benefits. She felt that this was a rare good marriage.

Later on, when she happened to see Second Brother looking at Roujia, she started to feel uneasy.

Second Brother had a mild personality since he was young, but such a lukewarm person looked at Rou Jia like a pomegranate flower on a branch. It was in full swing, bright and scorching, like a moth flying into the fire.

After that, she was in a daze.

One wrong step led to another.

However, Old Madam Yu couldn’t explain this to Eldest Son. “I’m a widow. No matter what I do, people will talk. I thought that Roujia was generous and straightforward, and would support the family in the future…”

“You lied to me.” How could a businesswoman compare to the meticulously raised daughter of the first wife of a scholarly family? Yu Zongzheng roared, “Is it because Madam Xie and Second Brother already have a relationship?!” “You…” Old Madam Yu felt dizzy and couldn’t even say anything.

However, Yu Zongzheng felt that Matriarch Xie was feeling guilty and had nothing to say. He flew into a rage on the spot. “Why would the Xie family help Second Brother for no reason? Didn’t they want to take the opportunity to cling to the officials?”

“It’s already good enough for a businesswoman to marry into an official’s family and be a noble concubine. However, Mother didn’t let Second Brother take in Madam Xie because Second Brother has a relationship with Madam Xie. The Xie family doesn’t agree to let Madam Xie be the youngest!

“The Xie family was indebted to Second Brother and had even received praise from the Imperial Court. Second Brother had just entered the royal court and hadn’t stabilized his position in the court yet. We couldn’t make things too ugly. Otherwise, it would have damaged Second Brother’s reputation and hinder his future…

The more he spoke, the more self-righteous he felt, and the more he felt that thig wag the rage

“You, you.” Old Madam Yu was already so angry that she was seeing stars.

“Shut up. You’re dirty, but you think others are as dirty as you…”

Back then, he had been fooling around with Madam Yang in the Yang Residence, so when he saw this matter, he subconsciously put himself in her shoes and thought that Second Brother was the same.

Those who were lecherous would see lewdness.

A wise man saw wisdom.

Seeing through this, Old Madam Yu knew that no matter how she explained, Eldest Son would not believe her.

From the bottom of his heart, he was already certain that Second Brother and Roujia had a relationship.

Yu Zongzheng was immediately furious. “I’m dirty? No matter how dirty I am, how can I be as dirty as Second Brother who fooled around with his Eldest

Sister-in-law? For Second Brother’s future, Mother didn’t allow him to marry

Madam Xie. In order to appease the Xie Residence, she asked me to be a fool and marry Madam Xie. Isn’t Mother dirty for doing this?”

Old Madam Yu!s ears were buzzing as she panted heavily, but her chest was getting suffocated. “You, stop talking…”

Yu Zongzheng frowned angrily. “Tell me, is Yao Yao Second Brother’s child…”

“Pfft—” When Old Madam Yu heard this, she was immediately furious. She opened her mouth and was about to reprimand him, but she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Her barely propped up body fell heavily onto the big pillow, her eyes rolling back into her head. The handkerchief that she was holding tightly in her hand fell to the ground, and it was a shocking ball of scarlet.

Yu Zongzheng was shocked and quickly rushed over. His legs went limp and he almost knelt on the ground. “Mother, Mother, what’s wrong? Someone, come quickly…”

Nanny Liu, who was guarding outside, heard the argument inside and wished she could cover her ears with cotton. She had a bad feeling.

When she heard Eldest Master’s panicked shout, she felt dizzy and quickly rushed into the inner room—

She saw the Matriarch lying on her back on the bed, panting with her mouth open.

Nanny Liu was so frightened that her legs went limp and she fell to her knees with a thud. She grabbed Old Madam’s hand and began to do first-aid acupuncture on her hand.

Yu Zongzheng was also stunned, his mind in a mess. He was angry with his mother, and he felt indignant and resentful, but he had never expected her to be so angry…

Yu Youyao received Qing Xiu’s notice. As she was mixing incense, her body was also stained with the medicinal fragrance. Worried that she would affect her grandmother, she quickly changed her clothes first.

When she rushed over, she heard movement in the house. Her heart skipped a beat. She waved the curtain aside and quickly entered the inner room.

Then, she saw her grandmother lying on the pillow, her eyes wide and panting.

Immediately, a chill ran down her spine.

Yu Youyao’s mind buzzed, and she cried, “Grandmother, Grandmother, what’s wrong…”
