“When she was young, she was pitied by me, so she was treated as the daughter of the first wife. 1 hoped that she would be diligent and virtuous, set a standard, learn etiquette, be knowledgeable, and know how to behave well. Only then would she not disgrace the prestige of the family. I didn’t expect her to be ignorant. She was jealous and unreasonable. There were many mistakes made, However, my body was weak and I couldn’t manage her. I cut her hair and sent her back to the clan. I hope the clansmen can discipline her well.”

“No…” Yu Jianjia screamed and fell to the ground. “Grandmother, no, I beg you not to treat me like this. No, I’m your granddaughter. Grandmother, Grandmother…” For some reason, Yu Jianjia shook off Bai Kui’s grip and stood up from the ground. She rushed to the bed and knelt on the ground with a thud, crying. “Grandmother, please spare me. Grandmother, please…”

Even now, Yu Jianjia refused to admit her mistake.

She only begged for mercy.

Old Madam Yu had a stroke and could only move above her neck. After all, she was her biological granddaughter. Although she hated her for being vicious and bad, she still couldn’t bear to see her like this.

The divorce letter Yao Yao gave to Madam Yang would only ruin Yu Jianjia’s future. If Yu Jianjia returned to the clan, she would be able to live a peaceful life.

On the other hand, her letter made Yu Jianjia, who had never had an awkward background, become an adulterous daughter. When she went back to the clan, she wouldn’t be taken care of too much.

Old Madam Yu sneered and said, “After all, you’re my granddaughter. Your mother has been abandoned and you’ve become the daughter of a divorced wife. I can’t bear to see your future ruined. I originally planned to leave a letter saying that you’re filial and virtuous. As a result, you’re willing to return to the clan and enter a nunnery to pray for me for three years. With your filial piety for Grandmother for three years, you can still have a good reputation. You won’t be able to enter a noble family but you can still be married. In the future, you’ll still have the chance to become a wife that matches your husband’s status.”

Yu Jianjia fell to the ground and cried.

Every word and sentence sounded like she was taking into account their relationship as grandmother and granddaughter and was thinking for her in every way. However, she only felt that it was hypocritical. If it was really for her own good, why did her father have to divorce her mother?

Without the Matriarch’s approval, her father wouldn’t have made such an easy decision.

Matriarch Yu was biased towards Yu Youyao. It was obvious that she hated her to the core.

However, she had to pretend to be loving.

It was really nauseating.

Old Madam Yu took a deep breath. “But, you heartless and ungrateful thing. How has your big sister let you down? You actually want to harm her. Cough cough…”

As she coughed, she vomited black blood. It was a shocking sight.

“Grandmother!” Yu Youyao panicked. She quickly took a handkerchief and helped her grandmother wipe the black blood from the corner of her mouth. She took out the old ginseng slices she had prepared and fed them to her grandmother.

Yu Jianjia cried, “Grandmother is certain with just a few words from Eldest Sister that I want to harm her. This is unfair to me. If Eldest Sister has evidence, why don’t you take it out and confront me on the spot? Why accuse me…”

At this point, she was still talking nonsense. Old Madam Yu spat out the piece of ginseng in her mouth and raised her hand to point at Yu Jianjia. ‘You, don’t treat others as fools. I-I’ve also been a mother-in-law for forty to fifty years.

I’ve seen all your tricks…”

Yao Yao had said that Yu Jianjia and Divine Physician Xie wanted to use her blood as a medicinal catalyst. Although she felt that it was ridiculous, she had lived for 40 to 50 years and had seen many things before.

In the past, there had been Daoist nuns in the capital who entered and left wealthy families to help them find children. They used newborn babies and even placenta as medicine. Later, they were exposed. As there were too many people involved, it did not cause a commotion, but the wealthy families had all heard about it.

Therefore, as soon as Yu Youyao said this, she believed her.

She had also been sick for many years. In the early years, she had also risked her life to treat her body so that she could take care of her granddaughters for a few more years. She had also asked about many unorthodox methods and used a lot of exotic medicine. Although she was not crazy enough to use human blood as medicine, she had used cat feces and rat feces.

She knew best when a patient was crazy about recovering her health. If she was not careful, she would be possessed. It was not surprising that Yu Jianjia wanted to treat her illness with a shaman.

Madam Yang was a person who was about to die. If she had such methods, how could she have waited until today?!

Madam Xie had already been dead for more than ten years. Who would make things difficult for a dead person for no reason? The ultimate goal of framing Madam Xie was to question Yao Yao’s bloodline and make Eldest Son disown his biological daughter and hate her.

Didn’t Yu Jianjia know that if she was not careful, she would also be implicated?

Of course she did.

However, the “temptation” behind these schemes was too great, causing her to be obsessed.

Yu Jianjia’s family background and status were not lacking. What else in this world was worth her taking the risk?

The purpose was self-evident.

“Grandmother, I didn’t…” Yu Jianjia cried and refused to admit it.

Old Madam Yu was already so angry that her chest rose and fell. “Drag, drag her out. Tomorrow morning, send her to the clan and hand the letter to the chief…

Bai Kui and Qing Xiu!s expressions darkened. They picked up Yu Jianjia and dragged her out.

Yu Jianjia’s cries entered the room intermittently.

Old Madam Yu coughed and vomited a large mouthful of blood. Her turbid eyes were filled with ruthlessness. “Divine Physician Xie… We can’t let him off!”

Yu Youyao’s eyes turned red. “Grandmother, Chang An has already tied up Divine Physician Xie. Don’t say anything…”

After the divorce of Madam Yang, there was no need to deal with Yu Jianjia anymore. She had revealed her true goal which was to deal with Divine Physician Xie.

She did not find any clues about Divine Physician Xie. If she wanted to deal with him, she had to start with Yu Jianjia. As long as she confirmed that Yu Jianjia was related to witchcraft, Divine Physician Xie could be implicated.

Old Madam Yu held her granddaughter’s hand. “No, 1 don’t know why, but when you said that Yu Jianjia wanted to nurture you into a medicinal catalyst, I felt that it was true. Perhaps, it’s because I’m about to die. Recently, I’ve been dreaming about you. You were covered in blood. I keep feeling that this dream is a blessing from Bodhisattva…”

Previously, she had dreamed that Eldest Son did not recognize his biological daughter. It had come true.

Therefore, she kept feeling that this dream was not fake.

Yu Youyao broke down. “Grandmother, Grandmother, don’t worry. Cousin will protect me. I-I received news that Third Cousin will enter the capital soon…”

“Good, that’s good.” Old Madam Yu nodded, looking a little gratified. “Your cousin and Third Cousin are both capable people. I-I can’t take it anymore. You, your cousin, your cousin…”

What she was most worried about was that if she died, Yao Yao would have no one to rely on. If Eldest Son made a mistake and she had to wait for Linghuai’s return, it would be too late.

“Grandmother…” Yu Youyao kept crying.

At this moment, Xia Tao rushed into the house and said excitedly, “Young Miss, Young Master is back.. Young Master is back…”
