Every word was like a knife that drew blood. It stabbed at the indignation, anger, and resentment that he had buried deep in his heart.
The string in Yu Zongzhengs mind called rationality broke with a buzz.
After Hui Xiang and Old Madam Lai successfully left the residence, Yu Jianjia finally felt relieved.
Next, she only had to listen to her mother’s arrangements and “recuperate.”
For the sake of caution, Yu Jianjia was not pretending to be sick. Her body was weak, so she could not be greedy for cold. After drinking a bowl of ice water, she felt an itch in her throat and coughed. She was not afraid of being exposed.

Ai Ye helped Yu Jianjia drink the medicine and left.
Bai Ye returned after asking around. “Young Miss, Nanny Li bumped into the corner of the bed and stopped breathing on the spot. Eldest Master came out of the Tranquil Heart Residence angrily and went to An Shou Hall…”
Yu Jianjia’s eyes turned red, and her throat itched. She couldn’t help but cough. “Cough… What… what happened? Nanny Li was fine. Why would she…” As she spoke, her voice turned hoarse and she cried.
Nanny Li had served First Madam for more than ten years and had a deep relationship with Young Miss. Now that Nanny Li was suddenly gone, Young Miss would definitely not feel good.
Bai Ye!s heart ached for Young Miss, and she did not know how to persuade her. “In the Tranquil Heart Residence, there’s only Nanny Li and Bi Tao serving her. When Eldest Master was talking to First Madam, Bi Tao was guarding outside the courtyard. I don’t know what happened inside. First Madam must have been agitated and fell crazy…”
Tears streamed down Yu Jianjia’s face. “My health hasn’t been good since I was young. Nanny Li has taken care of me a lot. All these years, Mother has relied on Nanny Li to take care of her. How could she…”
Hui Xiang and Old Madam Lai had left the residence, Nanny Li was dead, and her father had gone to An Shou Hall…
She had already done more than half of her plan.
Actually, Old Madam Lai’s words were not enough to prove that Madam Xie was having an affair with Second Uncle.
It was said that catching thieves and dirty hands would lead to catching adultery in pairs.
There was no witness and no physical evidence. It was really difficult to convince her with just Old Madam Lai’s words. At the very least, she did not believe that Second Uncle was such a shameless person.
But none of this mattered.
What was important was to make her father believe that Madam Xie and Second Uncle were having an affair.
Yu Jianjia knew very well that even if Old Madam Lai revealed this matter, no one would believe her. After all, she had been out of the residence for many years, and no one had proved that what she had said was true.
That was why she had looked for her mother.
His mother and father had been husband and wife for more than ten years. In the end, she still understood him and knew what to do to make his father suspect that Madam Xie was improper.
Don’t wash dirty linen in public. No matter how much trouble this matter caused, it wouldn’t affect her and the Yu Residence.
After that, even if her father wouldn’t do anything to Yu Youyao for the sake of dignity, Yu Youyao’s future wouldn’t be too good. She would either find a random family to marry into or die of illness.
At that time, it would be easy to raise Yu Youyao into a medicinal catalyst
Yu Jianjia pinched her handkerchief and covered her lips, covering the corners of her mouth.
Yu Zongzheng rushed into An Shou Hall.
Seeing that his expression was amiss, Nanny Liu’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly said, “Master, why are you here? Matriarch is still asleep. You…” Yu Zongzheng turned a deaf ear and strode towards the inner room.
Nanny Liu quickly went over to stop her. “Matriarch has just taken the medicine and isn’t awake yet. Divine Physician Xie has repeatedly reminded me to let Matriarch recuperate well so that she can recover from her illness. If you have any urgent matters, why don’t you sit outside first and let me go in to call Matriarch…
The veins on Eldest Master’s forehead throbbed, and his eyes almost spewed fire.
How could she dare to let Eldest Master go in to look for Matriarch?
It was good to sit outside and calm down.
“Get lost…” Yu Zongzheng roared and waved Nanny Liu away.
Nanny Liu was waved by this force and fell to the ground with a bang. She was in a daze and watched helplessly as Eldest Master rushed into the inner room.
Eldest Master’s roar came from the inner room. “Get lost. All of you, get out. No one is allowed to approach An Shou Hall. Otherwise, they’ll be beaten to death…
Qing Xiu and Bai Kui, who were serving in the room, left the inner room in fear.
When Qing Xiu saw Nanny Liu fall to the ground, she hurriedly went forward to help her up. Her eyes kept looking into the inner room. “Nanny, what should we do now? Master, he, he…
Nanny Liu took a deep breath. “We’ll do as Master says. Everyone, leave first. Bai Kui, guard the door. No one is allowed to approach An Shou Hall. Qing Xiu, go look for Eldest Miss immediately…”
Qing Xiu and Bai Kui quickly left the house.
Nanny Liu was worried about Matriarch, so she stayed outside.
Soon, she heard Eldest Master’s furious voice coming from the room. “Mother, you clearly know that there was something going on between Second Brother and Madam Xie. Why did you let me marry Madam Xie?”
“You, shut up!” Old Madam Yu leaned against the pillow with a pale face. After shouting, a wave of blood suddenly rushed to her head, making her dizzy. Her chest seemed to be blocked by something, and even breathing became difficult. She clutched her chest and panted, her vision turning black. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“You’re still lying to me!” At the thought of Nanny Li, who had bumped into the corner of the table and was still lying in a pool of blood with her eyes wide open, Yu Zongzheng was furious. He shouted, “l know everything. When
Second Brother was in Quanzhou, he was thinking about Madam Xie. After Madam Xie married into the Yu Residence, Second Brother refused to give up on her, so Mother was anxious and helped Second Brother welcome Madam Yao into the house. On the day of the wedding, Second Brother was drunk and refused to change into his wedding clothes or welcome the bride. You were the one who forced him to go and welcome the bride. You were worried that it would be inappropriate for Second Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law to live under the same roof, so you insisted on separating.”
Old Madam Yu panted heavily. “Who, who did you hear all this from…”
Yu Zongzheng said angrily, “Mother, you’ve been paying respects to Buddha and Bodhisattva for most of your life. Now that Bodhisattva is in your house, can you swear to the heavens that what I said just now isn’t true?”
Old Madam Yu felt suffocated. A fishy sweetness suddenly surged into her mouth from her throat. She suddenly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times. She suddenly felt relieved, but her face was frighteningly pale.
In his anger, Yu Zongzheng did not notice her abnormality. He roared like a trapped beast, “Mother, say something. Why aren’t you saying anything? Tell me…”
Old Madam Yu tightened her grip on her handkerchief. “You and your second brother have grown up together since you were young. You know better than anyone what kind of person your second brother is. Your second brother indeed likes Roujia, but he’s been familiar with the books of the sages since he was young and has been taught by the Yu Clan. He knows his manners and doesn’t do indecent things. There was nothing going on between him and Roujia…”
Yu Zongzheng couldn’t listen to anything else. His eyes turned red with anger.. “Since Second Brother has taken a fancy to Madam Xie, why didn’t you let him marry her? Why did you let me marry her? Why?! “
