When Yu Weiwu spoke, everyone in the room was shocked.
Jiang Yuezhen was the first to react: “Uncle, what are you talking about?”
Yu Weiwu looked at General Yu coldly, and said: “Father just said that Mother is just a woman in the house, and she doesn’t even go out often, so how can she have any enemies?”
His gaze fell on Mu s.h.i.+’s unrecognizable corpse, and his voice couldn’t help but choke up a bit: “My mother was kind, how could she forge such a grudge with others, who would make her die so miserably? It’s someone from inside the mansion!”
As soon as this sentence was uttered, the whole room was stunned.
Yu Qianjiao, who had been crying with a headache, raised her head, and looked at Yu Weiwu with eyes crying like two rotten peaches: “Big brother, what do you mean by this? Is it because the family has made Mother like this? Brother, who do you think this person is!?”
Yu Weiwu’s eyes were full of hatred, and he said gloomily: “Isn’t it obvious? In our family, who else is so inhumane and can make Mother suffer like this?”
All of them were silent for a moment, looking at each other. Everyone faintly guessed who Yu Weiwu was talking about, but no one dared to say it.
Even General Yu tightened his lips, frowned, and said nothing.
Yu Weiwu looked at General Yu and said angrily: “Father, why don’t you speak? Tell me, who in the family can be this vicious?”
General Yu slowly lowered his head. No matter how stupid he was, he naturally knew who Yu Weiwu was talking about. His hand subconsciously stroked the bridge of his nose. There were the scars that Yu Linglong had caused that had never fully healed.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yu Weiwu stood up and said loudly: “Since Yu Linglong entered our house, our house has not had a good day! Now even Mother has died at her hands. If Father doesn’t deal with her, I’m afraid she will overturn the whole family!”
General Yu cleared his throat awkwardly, and his tone slowed down: “Brother Wu, you don’t sound unreasonable, but where is the evidence? What evidence do you have that she did it?”
Yu Weiwu said angrily: “What kind of evidence is there? She has always been rebellious and unfilial to Mother. If she is dissatisfied, she will beat her. Now Mother has died so miserably. Who would it be but her?”
General Yu also felt that what Yu Weiwu said was somewhat reasonable, but subconsciously, he still didn’t want to provoke that ruthless commoner’s daughter.
At this moment, Yuwei was pressing harder, and General Yu didn’t know what to do, and simply pushed: “Then what do you say?”
Yu Weiwu gave him a fierce look, and said viciously, “Of course it was for her to pay for her life!”
General Yu was taken aback: “What?”
Who didn’t know that Yu Linglong is so famous. Could it be so easy to rectify Yu Linglong?
Needless to say, just talk about this, who in the Yu house could beat her? Weren’t they asking for trouble if they sent someone to catch her?
In the crowd, Yu Qianfang subconsciously touched the back of her head, remembering that after Yu Linglong had shaved her hair, she had been living a strange life; Yu Qianliu remembered that she had drunk stinky water, and how bad it tasted; Yu Qianjiao remembered Yu Linglong’s brutal slaughter of the dogs, and then she clenched her bare gums, and her body shuddered.
All of them were timid, afraid to look up at Yu Weiwu, let alone speak.
Yu Weiwu stood alone with an expression of disbelief. He really did not expect that this commoner’s daughter had already made the entire Yu Mansion surrender to her, and even General Yu who had fought many battles looked terrified.
His voice couldn’t help but become angry: “Are you just going to let Mother die in vain!?”
General Yu’s head hurt. He sighed, and tried to fill his voice with the majesty of the head of the family, and said, “Brother Wu, this matter must be considered in the long term—”
Yu Weiwu’s voice suddenly rose: “What else should be considered in the long term? No, you must report to the officials!”
General Yu frowned: “It’s impossible to report to the officials. Let’s think of another way.”
Although General Yu was not smart, he also knew that his family’s ugliness should not be publicized. What’s more, Mu s.h.i.+ still died at the hands of his illegitimate daughter. If this matter got out, would the Yu family still have face? Can the marriage with the Gan family still be made?
Yu Weiwu looked at General Yu with resentment in his eyes. It was this man who ignored his mother’s death and turned a deaf ear to the anger of his own children, thinking only of his own pleasure and future. It was this man who was looking for mistresses outside, who was romantic all night, leaving behind the vile sp.a.w.n of Yu Linglong. Now it was because of this illegitimate daughter that he had lost his mother.
He clenched his fist unconsciously and said coldly: “If you don’t report to the officials, then I will ask my father and give my mother an explanation!”
His meaning was very obvious. He didn’t have to report to the officials, but General Yu must deal with Yu Linglong to avenge Mu s.h.i.+.
General Yu did not expect that his son would become so aggressive after he hadn’t seen him for several years. He yelled anxiously: “Revenge, revenge! We’re a family, what revenge? Can your mother survive after revenge? Or do you want to make the whole family be involved!?”
Seeing General Yu’s att.i.tude, Yu Weiwu had no hope for his father. He turned his head away and said firmly: “I will go to her family’s house to report it, and let her family get justice for Mother!”
General Yu was furious, and angrily stood up: “You—”
Yu Weiwu didn’t look at him anymore. He flicked his sleeves and strode out.
Sure enough, Yu Weiwu went to Mu s.h.i.+’s natal home and explained her death to his grandparents. He also said that he believed Yu Linglong, a commoner’s daughter, had killed Mu s.h.i.+. The second Mu lady and Yu Weiwu came to the Yu house together.
After all, it was the Mu family, and General Yu had to order all the people in the family to go to the front hall and met Lady Mu.
Lady Mu’s body was very thin, and she had a melon seed face, and her slender eyes looked very tricky. At this moment, she was wearing a daisy blue flower and bird pattern palace satin sleeve s.h.i.+rt, sitting upright on the seat of honor, with a pair of eyes that lifted up from time to time and regarded the concubines in the house coldly.
As soon as Yu Qianjiao saw Second lady Yu, she immediately rushed forward, her voice full of sadness: “Second Aunt!”
Only when Lady Mu saw Yu Qianjiao did her face showed a little sadness. She raised her hands to embrace Yu Qianjiao and sighed, “Ah, my poor Jiao’er, losing your mother at such a young age…”
After hearing this, Yu Qianjiao cried more fiercely, and buried her head in Second Lady Mu’s arms, and refused to come out.
Yu Qianfang, Yu Qianliu, and the others bowed their heads obediently and stood silently in the hallway.
General Yu scratched his head, a little embarra.s.sed. He didn’t care about Mu s.h.i.+ and knew very little about the Mu family members. At this moment, she was sitting next to him, and he really didn’t know what to say.
Seeing his appearance, Second Lady Mu’s eyes returned to coldness. She patted Yu Qianjiao on the back and motioned for her to stand up, and then coldly glanced at Yu Qianfang and others, and snorted coldly: “Who is Yu Linglong? Stand up!”
Yu Qianfang, Yu Qianliu, and the others looked at each other. Yu Linglong never partic.i.p.ated in these kinds of occasions. This Second Lady Mu did not know the situation in the Yu house. Did she think Yu Linglong would come to meet her?
Yu Weiwu frowned and said, “Second aunt, she didn’t come.”
There was an expression of disbelief on Second Lady Mu’s face. She raised her brows and wondered: “What? A mere commoner’s daughter doesn’t dare to come greet her elders?”
Yu Weiwu was speechless. Yu Linglong even dared to kill her aunt, what was Second Lady Mu to her? Did she still expect her to greet her?
Second Lady Mu angrily said: “What are the rules in your house? How do your elders teach you? Don’t you even have the basic education?”
General Yu was not very articulate. Among the remaining people, the two aunts were not qualified to speak on this occasion, and the remaining concubines were even less likely to confront her. So although she said something awkward, everyone in the room was silent.
Second Lady Mu was majestic and feeling very relaxed. She cleared her throat and said pretentiously: “Master Yu, my sister died in your house. Tell me what I should do about this!”
General Yu had no idea at the moment. He frowned and said: “My wife died strangely, and I should know what to do?”
Second Lady Mu raised her eyebrows: “What’s the matter, did my sister die for nothing?”
General Yu was stunned, and tentatively said: “Then, what do you mean…”
Second Lady Mu snorted and said forcefully: “This is the first thing. Naturally, I want to avenge her. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to look down on us in the underworld!”
Yu Weiwu immediately agreed: “Yes, I must avenge my mother!”
Second Lady Mu continued: “Jiao’er is not young anymore. Seeing that she is going to get married again, if her mother is gone, who else will be in charge of her? I have also brought her mother’s dowry list. These things will come in the future. They are all left to Jiao’er as a dowry!”
When Yu Qianjiao heard this, she cried again, supported by her second aunt.
Yu Qianfang and the others raised their eyes and looked up, and they all had the same thoughts in their hearts. It turned out that Second Lady Mu was here to take advantage of the fire and wanted to plot Mu s.h.i.+’s dowry.
General Yu was also stunned. He couldn’t do the first of these two conditions of Second Lady Mu. Yu Linglong’s beating made him not get out of bed for a month, and he was full of fear for this illegitimate daughter. How could he deal with her!?[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
As for the second article, he didn’t care about his home. He didn’t even know what Mu s.h.i.+’s dowry contained. As for the dowry list, it has been so many years, and he didn’t know where it went. He knew Second Lady Mu’s list would prevail. Would he have to give her whatever she asked for?
General Yu’s first reaction was that he couldn’t agree, but seeing Second Lady Mu’s non-negotiable expression, and Yu Qianjiao crying so miserably, he didn’t know what to say.
Seeing General Yu’s painful expression and vaguely guessing General Yu’s thoughts, Yu Weiwu took the opportunity to continue to pressure General Yu: “Father, as long as you deal with Yu Linglong and avenge my mother, everything else is easy.”
General Yu glanced at Yu Weiwu and then thought again.
Yes, if Second Lady Mu must retrieve Mu s.h.i.+’s dowry, her eldest son can help him.
