Chapter 727 - 727: It’s the Best of Both Worlds
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When the people from the Xie Residence saw the document, they couldn’t help but smile.
It was done beautifully. Old Master Xie finally found “Zhou Linghuai” a little more pleasing to the eye. “No wonder Old Madam Yu entrusted Little Yao’er to you before she died.”
Yin Huaixi was overjoyed, but on the surface, he said humbly, “Ever since I entered the Yu Residence, Cousin has taken good care of me. My legs only recovered because of the Lingxi Bug Liquid. I cherish my cousin.” He had just admitted his affection for his cousin and felt his heart burn. “It’s been many years. Now that Cousin needs help, I’ll naturally do my best to share her burden.’
The Lingxi Bug Liquid was one of the main ingredients for refining the Heaven Protection Pill.
Although it was not specified, they were not empty words.
When Old Master Xie heard these heartfelt words, he was even more satisfied with him. He patted his shoulder to show his approval.
If it weren’t for Little Yao’er, it would be impossible for Zhou Linghuai to obtain the Lingxi Bug Liquid. The relationship between the “cousins” was not superficial at all.
This kindness was the most genuine.
This was the reason why he approved of “Zhou Linghuai” as Little Yao’er’s “cousin.”
Yin Huaixi’s eyes flickered.
On the day the Xie Residence visited, he went over and greeted them, but he was actually testing the Xie Residence. After realizing that the Xie Residence was very wary of him, he knew that it was useless to curry favor with them.
After resolving the matter of Yu Youyao’s return to her mother’s family, the Xie family treated him differently.
Taking this opportunity, he used the Lingxi Bug Liquid as a catalyst to add on a layer of “kindness” regarding their relationship as cousins to further dispel the Xie family’s guard.
Yin Huaixi had achieved his goal and continued. “Yu Zongzheng has written a document and will not make a fuss about Cousin returning to her mother’s family for the time being. First, say that she’s sick and has to go to the Xie Residence to stay for a while. Then, we’ll take our time in the future. This way, we won’t damage Cousin’s reputation.”
No matter what the reason was, abandoning her father’s clan and joining her mother’s clan would still attract gossip and speculation from the world.
The Yu Clan had many enemies in the court. If anyone used this to cause trouble, it would definitely implicate Yu Youyao.
Old Master Xie’s expression turned solemn. “We’ll do as you say. I’ll talk to the Yu Clan again for the details. If she returns to her mother’s clan and her surname doesn’t change, she’ll still be a daughter of the Yu Clan. As long as she doesn’t make it public, outsiders won’t know. It won’t affect the Yu Clan much.’
Yu Youyao was also the eldest daughter of a wife who passed away. Old
Madam Yu had a reputation for being kind and righteous. With Old Madam Yu’s upbringing, no one dared to say anything. Now that Old Madam Yu had passed away, they could not delay her upbringing.
After Old Madam Yu passed away, the person most qualified to raise Yu
Youyao was Madam Yao, who was an aunt. However, the bad thing was that Madam Xie was accused of having an affair with Second Uncle, so it was inevitable that it would be awkward.
From the looks of it, Yu Youyao had no choice but to return to her mother’s family.
As for Yu Youyao’s own thoughts…
She did not dare to disobey her grandmother’s last wish. She could not let down her grandmother’s love, and she could not forget the kindness of the family.
The dissatisfaction of the Yu Clan with Yu Youyao completely dissipated, and they couldn’t help but pity her.
The old clan master sighed softly. “Madam Yang is really a scourge!” He looked at Old Master Xie and saw that he did not look too good. He said, “Should we discuss this matter again? We can’t let this junior suffer because of the sins of the elders.’
All of this was discussed in private, so Old Master Xie naturally couldn’t ask for more,
He pretended to be unhappy and said, “Little Yao’er has received the upbringing of your Yu Clan. If she can’t bear to leave, then she’ll return to the clan. However, I have a condition.’
In the end, the outcome was that the matter of returning to her mother’s family would be kept quiet. Yu Youyao was still a daughter of the Yu Clan. With Yu Zongzhengs document, the Yu Clan could not interfere with Yu Youyao’s future.
30% of the Xie family’s assets would return to the clan forever.
They would not pursue the 20% of the assets that had been given to the residence.
Yu Youyao took the initiative to donate 10% of the assets under her name to the clan to help them renovate the ancestral hall and expand the clan school.
Repairing the temples and building schools were beneficial. To the aristocratic families, there was nothing better than this to bring glory to their ancestors and blessings to their descendants.
What reason did the Yu Clan have to disagree?
After the matter was discussed, the contract was signed. Both sides looked at it carefully and signed by pressing their fingerprints one by one. This matter was finally a win-win situation..
