Parents are here, no family is separated, this is the rule in the history of the Great Yan Dynasty, and it is the standard for measuring the moral conduct of a family.

If it weren't for the unkindness of the father, the unfilial piety of the son, the brother's disobedience, and the disrespect of the younger brother, why can't they live in harmony under the same roof?

Even if outsiders have heard of the contradiction between the Yu Mansion Changfang and the old lady, they will not think that the separation is reasonable.

If Changfang is willing to swallow his anger, those contradictions will win them the understanding of outsiders, as well as the reputation of respect and filial piety; If the long house is separated because of this, that understanding and reputation will suddenly come to naught, and even be criticized.

Yu Zhiyuan can't poke out what Yu Zhisong did, nor can he tell the old uncle Yu who is out of tune, he will definitely punch and kick Yu Zhisong when he hears it, who knows what Yu Zhisong can do when he is angry?

Yu Zhisong's murder of Yu Xinyi was a big crime, and at that time, for the sake of the entire Yu Mansion, and because the old lady was unwilling to pursue it, they could only turn a blind eye.

If this matter is put on the surface, Yu Zhisong and the old lady will definitely bite them, at least they will be charged with not reporting it.

As for Yu Zhisong's arson, it is even more disgraceful.

Not to mention that this matter itself will implicate the long house, if someone investigates in detail and finds that the long house sent many mothers-in-law and small servants to prevent fire near Tianxiang Building, it is a very suspicious thing.

If the people of Wuhoupu thought about it again, Yu Shuo warned them in advance that the prosperous area was easy to go to water, and the father and son would be even more suspicious.

If the reason for the water is not identified, these will not be paid attention to, and once Yu Zhisong is shaken out, the strangeness of the long house will be exposed.

The only way is to get the old lady Yu to agree to the separation without knowing it, and hand over the invitation to the seal to determine the candidate for the lord. No matter who this candidate is, once he is demoted to inherit the title, the Ning'an Bo Mansion will no longer exist, and the separation of the family will be a matter of course.

But Old Lady Yu ignored everything, and she was not close to her children and grandchildren, so it was impossible for Yu Zhiyuan to agree because she mentioned it. What's more, the separation of the family has a great impact on a family, and Old Lady Yu is no longer in tune, and he will not want to see his family disperse.

Yu Can couldn't help but sigh, and after coming to the study and sitting down, he kept holding his chin and looking out the window in a daze, not reading a single page of the book.

"Ahh

"What the hell is wrong with you today?"

Yu Can sighed again, and Li Yu finally put down his pen and looked up.

He went to Jing Yan a year ago to report to him, and stayed in the Zhenguo Mansion as the main bookkeeper, sorting out the documents and taking care of the chores, and he did quite well.

Most of the belongings were moved to the Guogong Mansion, and they lived in the outer courtyard to facilitate their work, and they did not return to the Yu Mansion until the Chinese New Year's Eve, planning to leave early tomorrow morning.

"It's nothing, it's just a little worry." Yu Can lay on the table and answered lazily.

She promised her father not to talk about it, even if it was her cousin who had a good relationship, and besides, her cousin had enough things to worry about, so there was no need to make trouble for him.

Although Li Yu has an errand, he is still homeless at the age of 30, which is really worrying. He has no house and no money, and it is not easy to say a suitable daughter-in-law.

The Li family left him some property, and he could even be regarded as a little rich. In the past, Li Ping'an didn't know anything, and most of the property was taken over by the old lady, and it is impossible to get it back now.

Yu Can knew that her mother had been worried about her cousin's family affairs, and her cousin, who was the person concerned, must be more anxious.

Li Yu, who was determined to be in a hurry to marry his daughter-in-law, didn't know that his niece was worrying about him, and he was still in the mood to joke. "You can't be a stinky boy with a crush on someone, right?"

Yu Can pursed her lips, thinking that he was naïve, but she was thinking about major events related to her family and life.

Li Yu touched his nose and continued to guess: "Which girl did you quarrel with?" ”

"Uncle Cousin, don't guess, I won't tell you anyway." Yu Can turned his eyes away from him.

Li Yue saw her like this, but became more curious, and was about to ask her if the old lady was making trouble again, when a maid came outside.

"Uncle Yu, big girl, the old lady invites you two to the main courtyard."

Li Yu rolled his eyes widely, and stood up slowly, while Yu Can's already heavy shoulders collapsed even more.

-

When the two came to the main courtyard, they found that no one else was there, so the old lady only called the two of them.

It's greasy.

The two quietly glanced at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

The old lady sat on the top seat, her expression was as gloomy as usual, but today she was gloomy with anxiety, and her eyes were a little wandering when she looked at the two.

"Ping, your cousin is sick." The old lady's voice was hoarse, and she spoke much faster than usual. "The servant said that he fainted on the way to greet me this morning, and he has not woken up until now."

Li Yue knew that the cousin she said was Yu Zhisong, but he deliberately pretended not to understand.

"Isn't my cousin good, he went out early in the morning, saying that he was going to see his colleagues."

"I'm talking about your second cousin!" The old lady slapped the table, and her voice raised a little.

Li Yu raised his eyebrows and said puzzledly: "Why didn't the second cousin invite a doctor when he was sick, and let me and my eldest niece come?" ”

He is now following Zhen Guogong to do things, and he has a lot of confidence in speaking. When the old lady saw him like this, she felt unhappy again, and her face became more and more ugly.

"I asked you to come, I want you to go to the Zhenguo Mansion to inquire, Zhao Lao from the Hanging Pot Hall has not been able to come out of the mountain recently."

Li Yu almost died on the spot when he heard this.

Who doesn't know that the old doctor of the Hanging Pot Hall Zhao is clever but his eyes are above the top, unless he is invited by someone with status, no one will show his face. The old lady actually asked him to inquire about the Zhao family, and he really dared to speak.

I'm afraid that after inquiring, I will let him invite someone by the way, right?

Before he could say anything, the old lady said to Yu Can again: "Can girl, I called you here to let you bring a message, go back and ask your father, do they want to watch your second uncle die of illness in the mansion before they are willing?" ”

Yu Can instinctively wanted to nod yes, but fortunately she wittily stopped her movements and supported her chin with her hand to prevent her naughty head from dropping.

Before she could pretend to be confused, the old lady opened her mouth again.

"I know that your father and mother have gained power, and now they don't look down on the second and third children. But your second uncle is so sick that he can't wake up, are they going to stand by and watch, and they don't even want to pay for a consultation? ”

Yu Can suddenly realized, it turned out that she was asking her to go back to ask for silver, and she thought that the old lady knew that she couldn't call her cousin, and wanted her father and mother to go to the hanging pot hall to invite Zhao Lao.

It seems that the second uncle didn't tell the old lady about yesterday at all, otherwise, with the old lady's fearful nature, the people who hid from the long room would not have time, how could she take the initiative to summon her over.

According to her, it is difficult to say whether the second uncle's illness is true or not, and maybe it is the same as the old lady last time, and she plans to pretend to be unconscious to avoid subsequent troubles.

Thinking of these bad things, Yu Can felt very aggrieved, and as soon as she was aggrieved, she didn't want the old lady to be happy.

"Old lady, don't worry too much, maybe the second uncle was too late yesterday and was too tired to faint, why don't you let someone pinch someone else first?"

When Li heard the pinching, his upper lip was reflexively numb, and he couldn't help but purse his mouth tightly.

[What an uneducated dead girl! 】

Yu Can pursed his lips and critted again: "In case you wake up with a 'whoop' with a slight pinch, why bother inviting Zhao Lao to come?" ”
