When the people from the Xie Residence saw the document, they couldn’t help but smile.

It was done beautifully. Old Master Xie finally found “Zhou Linghuai” a little more pleasing to the eye. “No wonder Old Madam Yu entrusted Little Yao’er to you before she died.”

Yin Huaixi was overjoyed, but on the surface, he said humbly, “Ever since I entered the Yu Residence, Cousin has taken good care of me. My legs only recovered because of the Lingxi Bug Liquid. I cherish my cousin.” He had just admitted his affection for his cousin and felt his heart burn. “It’s been many years. Now that Cousin needs help, I’ll naturally do my best to share her burden.’

The Lingxi Bug Liquid was one of the main ingredients for refining the Heaven Protection Pill.

Although it was not specified, they were not empty words.

When Old Master Xie heard these heartfelt words, he was even more satisfied with him. He patted his shoulder to show his approval.

If it weren’t for Little Yao’er, it would be impossible for Zhou Linghuai to obtain the Lingxi Bug Liquid. The relationship between the “cousins” was not superficial at all.

This kindness was the most genuine.

This was the reason why he approved of “Zhou Linghuai” as Little Yao’er’s “cousin.”

Yin Huaixi’s eyes flickered.

On the day the Xie Residence visited, he went over and greeted them, but he was actually testing the Xie Residence. After realizing that the Xie Residence was very wary of him, he knew that it was useless to curry favor with them.

After resolving the matter of Yu Youyao’s return to her mother’s family, the Xie family treated him differently.

Taking this opportunity, he used the Lingxi Bug Liquid as a catalyst to add on a layer of “kindness” regarding their relationship as cousins to further dispel the Xie family’s guard.

Yin Huaixi had achieved his goal and continued. “Yu Zongzheng has written a document and will not make a fuss about Cousin returning to her mother’s family for the time being. First, say that she’s sick and has to go to the Xie Residence to stay for a while. Then, we’ll take our time in the future. This way, we won’t damage Cousin’s reputation.”

No matter what the reason was, abandoning her father’s clan and joining her mother’s clan would still attract gossip and speculation from the world.

The Yu Clan had many enemies in the court. If anyone used this to cause trouble, it would definitely implicate Yu Youyao.

Old Master Xie’s expression turned solemn. “We’ll do as you say. I’ll talk to the Yu Clan again for the details. If she returns to her mother’s clan and her surname doesn’t change, she’ll still be a daughter of the Yu Clan. As long as she doesn’t make it public, outsiders won’t know. It won’t affect the Yu Clan much.’

“Every quarter, merchant ships enter the capital from the Xie Residence. In the future, it’s fine to let Little Yao’er travel between the two sides. Even if outsiders talk, the Yu Clan can just clarify it. I think they’ll agree.”

Yin Huaixi smiled. This was the biggest difference between the Xie Residence and the Yu Clan. They were actually thinking of Yu Youyao.

For the sake of Yu Youyao, the Xie family was unwilling to really fall out with the Yu Clan. For the sake of Yu Youyao’s “filial piety” and “benefits”, they were willing to take a step back. It was the best of both worlds. Yu Youyao did not have to be troubled on both sides.

The Yu Clan had always cared about benefits.

Now that their daughter would be raised by the Xie family, everything else was no different from usual. There was no reason for the Yu Clan to disagree. This was also Yin Huaixi!s goal. “Old Master, you’ve thought it through.” The Xie family was wary of him, so how could he trust them?

How could he be at ease and hand Yu Youyao over to the Xie family so easily?

The Xie Residence was testing his intentions towards Yu Youyao. Wasn’t he also testing the sincerity of the Xie Residence towards Yu Youyao? At first, he didn’t say anything explicitly. He just wanted to see what the Xie Residence would do.

After lunch, the Xie family looked for the Yu Clan and handed the document to the old clan elder.

The old clan elder sighed softly and looked at Yu Youyao. As usual, he asked her for her opinion. “Although there was a guarantee written by your grandmother back then and your father has agreed to her last wish, you’re not young anymore. We still have to ask for your opinion.”

Returning to her mother’s clan was easy to talk about.

However, once she returned to her mother’s clan, it meant that Yu Youyao would be removed from the Yu Clan’s genealogy. She would change her surname and return to the Xie Clan’s genealogy. From then on, she would be the daughter of the Xie Clan and would no longer have anything to do with the

Yu Clan.

What a pity.

Yu Youyao’s eyes immediately turned red. She bit her lip lightly and said what she had discussed with the Xie family just now, “Youyao from the Yu Clan has been raised by the Yu Clan since she was young. She naturally doesn’t dare to abandon their kindness. It’s also because Grandmother’s heart aches for me. She’s worried that after she passes away, I won’t be able to take care of myself in the residence, and I won’t have any elders to raise and protect me. That’s why she wanted me to return to my maternal family. I’m deeply touched. 1 was born a daughter of the Yu Clan and will die as a ghost of the Yu Clan.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone from the Xie Residence turned very ugly.

The Yu Clan members present were also very surprised.

After thinking for a moment, they understood what Yu Youyao meant. Her mother’s reputation had almost been tarnished, and her background had almost been confused. However, the father-daughter relationship was real.

At the age of 13, she needed to be carefully raised by a “serious” elder. Not only was Yu Youyao the daughter of the first wife, but she had also been conferred the title of County Head of Shaoyi. The second wife was not qualified to raise her.

Yu Youyao was also the eldest daughter of a wife who passed away. Old

Madam Yu had a reputation for being kind and righteous. With Old Madam Yu’s upbringing, no one dared to say anything. Now that Old Madam Yu had passed away, they could not delay her upbringing.

After Old Madam Yu passed away, the person most qualified to raise Yu

Youyao was Madam Yao, who was an aunt. However, the bad thing was that Madam Xie was accused of having an affair with Second Uncle, so it was inevitable that it would be awkward.

From the looks of it, Yu Youyao had no choice but to return to her mother’s family.

As for Yu Youyao’s own thoughts…

She did not dare to disobey her grandmother’s last wish. She could not let down her grandmother’s love, and she could not forget the kindness of the family.

The dissatisfaction of the Yu Clan with Yu Youyao completely dissipated, and they couldn’t help but pity her.

The old clan master sighed softly. “Madam Yang is really a scourge!” He looked at Old Master Xie and saw that he did not look too good. He said, “Should we discuss this matter again? We can’t let this junior suffer because of the sins of the elders.’

All of this was discussed in private, so Old Master Xie naturally couldn’t ask for more,

He pretended to be unhappy and said, “Little Yao’er has received the upbringing of your Yu Clan. If she can’t bear to leave, then she’ll return to the clan. However, I have a condition.’

In the end, the outcome was that the matter of returning to her mother’s family would be kept quiet. Yu Youyao was still a daughter of the Yu Clan. With Yu Zongzhengs document, the Yu Clan could not interfere with Yu Youyao’s future.

30% of the Xie family’s assets would return to the clan forever.

They would not pursue the 20% of the assets that had been given to the residence.

Yu Youyao took the initiative to donate 10% of the assets under her name to the clan to help them renovate the ancestral hall and expand the clan school.

Repairing the temples and building schools were beneficial. To the aristocratic families, there was nothing better than this to bring glory to their ancestors and blessings to their descendants.

What reason did the Yu Clan have to disagree?

After the matter was discussed, the contract was signed. Both sides looked at it carefully and signed by pressing their fingerprints one by one. This matter was finally a win-win situation..
