    It had to be said that every word of the Yu n rubbed the Xie Residence the wrong way.


    If it weren’t for Old Madam Yu’sst words, as long as the Yu n didn’t let her go, the Xie n would still have topromise because of Little Yao’er’s reputation and future.


    The older the wiser.


    Ever since they entered the house, it had always been the Xie Residence who had caused amotion. The old master had not said anything at the start but as soon as he opened his mouth, he went straight to the point, making it difficult to refute.


    If the Xie Residence caused anothermotion, it would mean that they were pushing their luck and did not know what was good for them.<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    The Xie Residence would be unreasonable.


    The Xie family would be in the wrong.


    Old Master Xie refused immediately. “There’s no room for discussion on this matter. Otherwise, we’ll talk about it one by one. How did Roujia die back then? Why did Yu Zongzheng hurriedly wee Madam Yang into the family? Is the Third Miss of the residence the daughter of a legitimate wife or a traitor? All these years, how many benefits has your Yu Residence received from us? We’re a merchant family anyway. We’re not afraid of losing face. On the other hand, can you bear the consequences of your actions?”


    These words were a direct provocation.


    However, if they really broke it down one by one, the Yu Residence would reallyugh at them.


    Everyone in the n looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. On the other hand, Yu Zongzheng was flustered and exasperated. He suddenly sat on a chair and stood up. He said angrily, “Don’t go too far!”


    A merchant dared to cause such amotion.


    They had given him face.


    “Kneel down!” Old Master Xie did not stand on ceremony. He swung his cane at Yu Zongzhengs leg with all his might.


    Yu Zongzheng wailed, and his knees went limp. With a thud, he knelt on the ground. For a moment, he looked embarrassed. He couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and angry, and he was about to get up from the ground.


    Old Master Xie held his cane and pressed it against his neck. “Are words not workig? Do you think I can’t order you around?”


    Yu Zongzhengs back copsed again. He was angry but did not dare to say anything.


    The room suddenly fell silent.


    The Yu n members couldn’t say a word.


    Inws did not talk about status, but seniority. Old Master Xie was a generation higher than the elders. As they were inws, they had to bow to Old Master Xie as juniors. Otherwise, it would be rude and embarrassing for the Yu n.


    Not to mention that Old Master Xie was Yu Zongzhengs grandfather-inw. It was not their ce to interfere in him teaching his grandson-inw a lesson.


    Yu Zongzheng lowered his head and gradually clenched his fists tightly. He hated the Xie family for embarrassing him on the spot.


    Old Master Xie sneered. “Who allowed you to get up just now?”


    Yu Zongzheng suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead bulged.


    Old Master Xie saw his twisted expression and pped him on the head.


    “Kneel! ”


    Yu Zongzheng screamed and his head hit the ground with a thud, not daring to raise his head again.


    After teaching Yu Zongzheng a lesson, Old Master Xie nced at the old n master. “Is this the upbringing and rules of your n? It’s really an eye-opener today.”


    The old n master lost his face and looked at Yu Zongzheng sternly. He said angrily, “How can you interrupt when the elders are talking? Kneel properly.”


    Yu Zongzheng endured the humiliation and pain in his legs, but his heart felt ufortable.


    Yu Youyao lowered her eyes. Yu Zongzheng, who was usually high and mighty, knelt on the ground like a vicious dog with its teeth pulled out.


    The families valued filial piety. Now, filial piety was a big mountain that was pressing on her, and she could not get over it. It was like a heavy burden that she could not get rid of it at all times.


    Due to the three subserviences and four virtues, the rules and regtions imposed on her by the world constrained and imprisoned her. She could not disobey them and felt suffocated at every moment. every moment.


    What happened now was nothing much.


    The old n master’s expression softened as he apologized to Old Master Xie. “Old Master, Zongzheng did something wrong. You’re an elder. It’s not too much to teach him a lesson.’


    Old Master Xie snorted and said nothing.


    The old n master pretended not to hear him and continued, “Regarding the matter about Madam Xie’s memorial tablet returning to the Xie family and Eldest Miss returning to her mother’s n, do you think we should discuss it further?”


    After all, he was an elder of the Yu n, so Old Master Xie had to give him face. “If you are agreeable, the Xie family can let go of Roujia’s humiliation. Roujia has already passed away for many years and public opinion will decide what is right and wrong. However, Little Yao’er’s background was almost confused. The fault lies with the Yu n. With Old Madam Yu’s guarantee back then and the signature of the elders as a guarantee, she has to return to her mother’s n. If the Yu n doesn’t agree, we’ll go to the government office to make a decision.’


    He took a step back, but his attitude was still fearless.


    The expressions of the Yu n members darkened.


    Madam Wang chuckled. It was true that the older the wiser.


    However, there was someone in the Xie Residence who was even shrewder than the old elder of the Yu n.


    The old n master also came to a realization.


    At first, Old Madam Xie brought up the old matter, causing the Yu n to ignore her. Then, she threw a brick to attract the attention of the Yu n, causing them to tarnish Roujia’s reputation. The Yu n would be embarrassed again.


    Immediately after, Old Master struck while the iron was hot and suggested bringing Madam Xie’s memorial tablet back to the Xie Residence. He also wanted Yu Youyao to return to her mother’s n.


    The Yu Residence cared about their reputation, so it was naturally impossible for them to agree.


    Old Master Xie also gave face to the Yu n and pretended to take a step back.


    He gave up on bringing Madam Xie’s memorial tablet back to the Xie Residence, but he definitely wanted to bring Yu Youyao back to her mother’s n.


    Bringing up Madam Xie’s memorial tablet was just a negotiating factor from the Xie family.


    The Xie n also understood that letting Yu Youyao return to the Xie n was because they had Old Madam Yu t s guarantee back then. The Yu n was in the wrong, so there was still room for negotiation.


    However, Madam Xie was the first wife and she had to stand by her husband.


    She would be a member of the Yu n in her life, and she would be a ghost of the Yu n in her death. It was impossible for her to return to the Xie Residence.


    From the beginning to the end, the Xie family only had one goal.


    They wanted Yu Youyao to return to the Xie Residence.


    The Xie n did not have to pursue the matter. The Yu n had tarnished the Xie n’s reputation when the Xie n was magnanimous. Now, the Xie n stood on the high ground of morality, and the Yu n was in the wrong.


    Be it making peace or falling out.


    The Yu n would be the ones at a disadvantage.


    Once they angered the Xie family, at most, the Yu n would really be aughing stock.


    The old n master looked at Yu Zongzheng with an ugly expression. Before Madam Yang died, she had instigated the Xie n’s reputation. In the end, it had be a sharp weapon for the Xie n to deal with the Yu n.


    If it weren’t for the matter of tarnishing the reputation of the Xie n, the Yu n wouldn’t be in such a passive position.


    Eldest Son had been an official for decades. He was really scheming.


    Not only had she lost face, but even the Yu n had lost face.


    The atmosphere froze.


    Fifth Old Madam couldn’t help but look at Yu Youyao. ‘Good child, the n has also remembered your mother’s contribution. Your mother’s reputation is important. Although your father was in the wrong, it was also because of Madam Yangs instigation. Now that Madam Yang has been divorced, it can be considered as seeking justice for your mother. Your grandmother has just passed away, and the n is focused on your grandmothers funeral. 1 originally nned to wait for your grandmother’s funeral to be over before talking to your father and making this matter clear in case you and your mother suffer in vain.
