Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Not far from the maid, Fan Yuejia, who was tied up behind her back, was kneeling dejectedly with a piece of cloth tied around her mouth.

She stared at the maid who was beaten beyond recognition on the ground in despair, and made “Ugh! Ugh!” sounds in an attempt to defend herself.

In the courtyard of Master Yu's house, Master Yu's personal servant was bringing a doctor into the courtyard where Yu Shicheng was recuperating.

"Manager Yu, what are you doing?" The servant who was taking care of Yu Shicheng stepped forward with his eyes lighting up.

Manager Yu covered his nose with a handkerchief and said with a look of disgust, "Nothing, the master of the family asked the doctor to check the eldest master."

"This way, doctor."

The servant led the doctor into the house. Manager Yu didn't dare to go forward because of the strong smell coming from the house. He stopped in the yard and watched.

After a while, the doctor came out with his normal face.

"Doctor, how is my son?"

The servant chased out of the house. The doctor didn't even turn his head back. He carried the unopened medicine box and hurried back to the front yard with Manager Yu.

After watching the two figures disappear behind the hanging flower archway and hearing a heavy sound of a door closing, the servant curled his lips and returned to the house.

"Aming, did the doctor say anything?" Yu Shicheng opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at Aming who walked in.

Ah Ming forced a smile and said, "The doctor said that the young master's condition has improved a lot. He must eat on time and take good care of himself."

Yu Shicheng's eyes suddenly dimmed, he drooped his eyelids in disappointment and stopped talking.

A Ming wanted to persuade him a little more when he heard A Liang's voice from outside the door.

"Master, Aliang has come back from getting lunch. I'm going to go see what delicious food the old lady has prepared for you."

Yu Shicheng waved at him weakly, his skinny hands were covered with purple scars of various sizes. In such hot weather, he was still covered with a thick winter quilt.

Amin left the room and closed the door gently.

Yu Shicheng could clearly see Aliang standing outside the half-open door through the crack.

Strange! Why doesn't Liang have a lunch box?

Didn't he go to the shanty house to get his meal?

When Yu Shicheng wanted to see more clearly, he was completely blocked by A-Ming's back. So he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.

Seeing that Liang had nothing in his hands, Ming asked, "Liang, didn't you go get some food?"

"The food in the kitchen is not ready yet."

Aliang's tone revealed a depressed mood.

In fact, the fire in the kitchen had not been started yet. Aliang wanted to say something but stopped, not knowing how to start.

Ah Ming glanced at the sky and said, "It's past dinner time. What's going on in the kitchen today?"

"Something happened up ahead, all the elders of the Yu family are here."

Yu Shicheng in the room was startled. He was about to ask when Ah Ming asked for him, "What's wrong?"

So, Aliang told Aming everything that had happened before without any hesitation, without considering Yu Shicheng inside at all.

"What? How dare the eldest young lady?" Amin was so shocked that he was incoherent.

Aliang glanced at the half-open door and his voice unconsciously rose several degrees.

"That's right. The eldest young master's wife hasn't come to see the eldest young master for almost two months, but the doctor said she is already more than a month pregnant. How could she be pregnant with our young master's child?"

"Is there some misunderstanding here? Ah Liang, go ahead and check it out."

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

After saying that, Aliang ran outside.

After standing in the yard for a long time, Amin turned around and went back to the house.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw Yu Shicheng lying motionless on the bed with his eyes wide open, and the quilt covering him was covered with splattered blood.

Amin put his hand under Yu Shicheng's nose and found that he was no longer breathing.

He suddenly withdrew his hand and ran out in panic.

The front yard of Yu Mansion.

Steward Yu led the doctor back to the front yard, "Master! The doctor is back after taking your pulse."

"What do you mean?" Patriarch Yu stood up excitedly.

The doctor bowed to him and slowly said, "Reporting to Patriarch Yu, the eldest young master's body has long been hollowed out by the Five Stones Powder. His body has long been corrupted and cannot be cured."

"Can my son still make a woman pregnant?" Old Madam Yu stood up from her chair nervously.

The doctor shook his head and said firmly, "Based on the pulse diagnosis I just made, this is absolutely impossible!"

Madam Yu pointed at Fan Yuejia and shouted, "Spit man, the evidence is right in front of you, what else do you have to say?"

"Ugh! Ugh!" Fan Yuejia's face was pale. She shook her head and tried to break free from the ropes. She felt a dull pain in her stomach.

At this moment, Yu Shicheng's personal servant ran in and fell to his knees.

"Master, Madam, something bad has happened! The eldest master, he's dead!" Ah Ming ran out of breath and said it all in one breath.

"What?" The old lady's eyes went dark and she passed out leaning back in her chair.

The head of the Yu family hurriedly asked the steward Yu to bring a doctor over to see him. He seemed to be mentally prepared, and his face was expressionless, making it impossible to tell his emotions.

"Master, how do we deal with this immoral woman?"

The tribesmen were obviously not going to let Fan Yuejia go.

The head of the Yu family was in a dilemma. His daughter-in-law and her maid both insisted that the baby in their bellies was Yu Shicheng's, but he had to believe the doctor's words.

He glanced at the servant who was still kneeling on the ground and pointed at him, "Tell me! Has the eldest young master's wife been to the eldest young master's room recently?"

Patriarch Yu stared at the servant intently. Even if he said it once, he would acknowledge the grandson in Fan Yuejia's belly.

Obviously, the servant was going to disappoint him.

Ah Ming raised his head and looked at Patriarch Yu with a determined look, "Reporting to Patriarch, the eldest young master's wife has not entered the eldest young master's room for more than two months."

Old Madam Yu, who had just been woken up by the maid, stood up suddenly, walked to Fan Yuejia, and slapped her hard.

"You are a wicked woman with a flirtatious disposition! Throw her and the evil in her belly into the pig cage!"

Fan Yuejia stared at the servant A Ming with resentful eyes. That's not true, he was lying!

Amin lay on the ground without even looking at her.

Yu Shichengdu was able to do it the first few times, but she failed before she even got pregnant.

It was he who told another servant that Yu Shicheng hoped she could give birth to the eldest grandson of the Yu family. He wouldn't mind whether it was his, Yu Shicheng's, child or not!

Only then did she think of using someone else's trick to fight for a future for herself in the Yu family's backyard.

How could this be?

Could it be that Yu Shicheng lied to her? How could it be?

Her mind was in a mess and the severe pain in her abdomen made it impossible for her to think seriously.

"Master, this evil woman must be severely punished!"

"Yes, we can't let her get away with it and bring shame to our Yu family!"

"She tried to confuse the Yu family's bloodline with her bastard offspring. She must not be forgiven!"

"Dip the pig cage! Dip the pig cage!"

The elders of the Yu family were so angry that they were determined to put Fan Yuejia in a pig cage.

Thinking of the Fan family which was allied with the Yu family, Yu Shida, who was standing next to the head of the Yu family, could no longer sit still. No matter what the purpose was, killing Fan Yuejia at this time was not a wise move.

He was about to open his mouth to persuade them, but Patriarch Yu quickly held his hand and said, "Listen to the elders and don't say too much!"

Patriarch Yu knew very well that if he saved Fan Yuejia, although he could maintain the alliance with the Fan family, he would inevitably lose his status in the clan.

As the saying goes, when faced with two evils, choose the lesser one; when faced with two benefits, choose the greater one.

Although allies are important, unity among clan members is the foundation of lifeline inheritance and family prosperity.
