Chapter 725: Going Crazy Because of Her

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

The old clan elder hurriedly said, “Young Master Zhou must have something to bring up that’s related to Eldest Miss for choosing to come over at this time. In-law, why don’t you sit down first and listen to what Matriarch has to say?” Old Master Xie snorted but did not refute.

This was something he had discussed with Zhou Linghuai long ago. The Xie family only cared about causing trouble with the Yu Clan. He came over at the right time and took out the letter that Old Madam Yu had instructed.

With Matriarch’s last words, everything would make sense.

Fifth Old Madam and the Clan Chief’s wife quickly went over to pull Old

Madam Xie and Madam Wang back. They had said all they could, but Old

Madam Xie hugged her granddaughter tightly and cried, refusing to let go.

She did not leave.

The old clan elder also looked helpless. He glanced at Old Master Xie and could only say, “Invite Young Master Zhou in first.”

The Second Eldest Madam looked at her severed hair on the ground and her pupils constricted. She did not want to stay and get involved in this messy matter, so she quickly went out to call Zhou Linghuai in.

When Yin Huaixi entered the house, he immediately saw Yu Youyao, who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, and the black hair that was cut. His eyes were filled with emotions, but he stepped forward with a calm expression and greeted his elders respectfully. Then, he took out two letters.

One of them instructed her granddaughter to return to her mother’s family.

The other letter instructed “Zhou Linghuai” to take good care of her granddaughter.

When the Yu Clan read the letters, their expressions did not look too good.

Before Old Madam Yu passed away, she had entrusted her granddaughter to her weak cousin and did not mention Yu Zongzheng at all. This had already expressed her distrust and even disappointment in Yu Zongzheng.

Yu Zongzheng must have done something to cause a rift between the mother and son.

The old clan elder looked at Yu Zongzheng. “Take a look yourself!”

Yu Zongzheng, who was kneeling on the ground, felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly got up from the ground and limped to his seat. He took the letter and read it word for word.

His mother had already made arrangements for Yu Youyao long ago. It had nothing to do with him at all.

The old clan master carefully recalled everything that had happened just now.

The Xie Residence’s uncharacteristically tough attitude forced Yu Youyao to cut her hair on the spot. In addition, there were Old Madam Yu’s letters before she died.

All of this had only one goal, and that was to let Yu Youyao return to her mother’s clan.

What had Eldest Son done to make Matriarch do whatever it took to let his beloved granddaughter return to her mother’s clan before she died?!

At this point, it was no longer good for the clan to interfere.

The old clan elder lowered his eyes. He did not want to get involved in this mess anymore, in case he caused trouble. “You can discuss with your in-laws about what to do.’

With that, he stood up and let the Clan Chief help him out of the house.

The others in the clan also left.

After a while, only the people from the Xie Residence, Yu Zongzheng, Yu

Youyao, and Yin Huaixi were left in the room.

Yu Zongzheng clenched his fists tightly.

His mother wanted Yu Youyao to return to her mother’s clan. Logically speaking, he should follow his mother’s last wish. However, since Yu Youyao was the first wife’s eldest daugther, there was no reason for her to return to her mother’s clan if her father was around.

A faint smile appeared on Yin Huaixi’s lips. “Before Matriarch died, she also said that she wanted me to talk to Uncle alone, so I boldly ask Old Master to give us some space.” Seeing that Old Master Xie was about to flare up, he quickly added, “Don’t worry, after I’m done talking to Uncle, it will be time to settle the matter of Cousin returning to her mother’s family.”

Old Master Xie frowned slightly. He had also guessed that some secrets of the Yu Residence would be involved next. It was indeed inconvenient for the Xie Residence to be present.

Yin Huaixi looked at Yu Youyao and resisted the urge to pull her into his arms.

“Be good and wait for me outside first.”

Yu Youyao nodded slightly and followed her grandmother and Eldest Aunt to the door. Suddenly, she turned around. “I’ll wait for you outside.”

The room suddenly fell silent!

Yin Huaixi gently walked in with his sheepskin boots. The soles of his boots made a sound on the green brick floor. He stood still and squatted in front of the black hair.

He knelt on one knee and reached out to pick it up. Holding the long strands of hair in his hand, he closed his eyes and could imagine how decisive the little girl was when she cut her hair..

People often had the courage to die, but they did not have the decisiveness to cut their hair.

This bundle of hair was meant to cut off her blood ties with the Yu Residence and the kindness that was given to her. Her determination was rarely seen in the world.

However, he only felt his heart ache.

In that nightmare, Yu Youyao was alone and helpless. Her reputation, which was damaged by the Third Prince in the Duke Rongs Residence, was only a disgrace to the family. She had already been indirectly abandoned by the family. It was Old Madam Yu who had held on for her last breath and protected her granddaughter by asking her to marry Song Mingzhao.

With the family style of the Zhenguo Marquis Residence, even if she couldn’t protect her granddaughter’s wealth, they would at least take care of her.

Old Madam Yu did not expect that Yu Jianjia would pretend to be Yu Youyao and lie that she had saved Song Mingzhao.

After that, she destroyed the Xie family’s reputation and confused Yu Youyao’s background.

Why had the same plan succeeded in the nightmare?

In reality, no one believed it.

The reason was very cruel.

It was also very realistic.

In the nightmare, who would care about a discarded daughter who had been abandoned by her family and had no other family?

Yu Youyao was a victim of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s decay.

In reality, Yu Youyao was the eldest daughter of the first wife of the Yu Clan, who was both virtuous and talented. She was the filial, pure, kind, and respectful County Head of Shaoyi. She could be said to be the model woman of the Yu Clan’s current generation.

It was not an exaggeration to say that Yu Youyao’s reputation shined brightly in the Yu Clan. All the children of the Yu Clan’s generation would be valued. In the future, when she was matched with someone and got married, it would be a great help to the Clan.

How could the Yu Clan give up on her so easily?

Not to mention that all of this was just nonsense. Without evidence, even if Yu Youyao’s background was questioned, the Yu Clan would think of ways to cover it up.

Yu Youyao had seen through the coldness of the family’s decisions, so she cut her hair especially decisively.

Yin Huaixi placed the hair near his nose. The faint fragrance hit his heart and lingered there. It was deeply rooted in his bones. The more he couldn’t get it, the more he crazily longed for it. At this moment, his emotions were strongly felt.

There was a beautiful lady in the boudoir, and he was going crazy because he couldn’t be with her!

Yin Huaixi kept this bundle of hair in his hand and looked up at Yu Zongzheng. “In the past, after my legs were disabled, I had once learned a great capture technique called the Dragon Wrap Hand. It’s a killing method that divides tendons and bones. It’s easy to learn, but difficult to master. I’ve practiced hard for six years and have barely learned some of the essence.

Uncle, why don’t you help me test its power?”

Yu Zongzheng looked inexplicably puzzled. Before he could react…

Yin Huaixi rushed forward like a bolt of lightning and kicked him to the ground. Yu Zongzheng was shocked and furious. He opened his mouth to call out to him, but realized that he couldn’t make a sound at all..
