Chapter 8: 4.2

04. A Letter From Home (2)

But Yu Qingjia doesn’t believe that there is such a free lunch in this world.

So why would the system help Yu Qingya? What does the system want from Yu Qingya?

She didn’t know. She’s afraid that even Yu Qingya herself had never even thought about this question.

It seemed like Yu Qingya, or the system’s countermeasures have taken into effect. Old Madam Yu really changed her opinion about her, and under Yu Qingya’s subtle instigation, she became extremely dissatisfied with the father and daughter who are far away in Qingzhou. She knitted her brows tightly when she thought about the home that she used to live in, and those lifeless years…

Bai Zhi also thought of the overbearing Old Madam Yu, and his son from the first household.

She spent so many years at Yu Qingjia’s side, and of course Bai Zhi remembers the life of Miss Six’s mother and daughter in the Ancestral House.

Yu Wenjun’s parents were from the second household. However Yu Wenjun himself, was the heir to both the First and Second households.

This, in turn, has a long history.

Old Madam Yu was the Head of the Yu family, and she had two sons, the eldest being Yu Fu of the first family and the second being Yu Wenjun’s father, Yu Yan. Both brothers each have a son, and she had always favored the grandson she had from her eldest son.

Although he was dissatisfied with Yu Wenjun, the grandson from the second family, who doesn’t like having an official career and doing business, he still turned a blind eye and let him do whatever he wants.

But who would have known that ten years ago, the only son of the first family suddenly died in an accident. He died before he could even get married, and did not even leave a son behind. After the grief, the Old Madam Yu panicked fearing that her eldest son’s family would be without heirs. She wanted to adopt a child from another branch for the eldest family, and the most suitable one with the same roots and age was, of course, Yu Wenjun of the second household.

However, Yu Wenjun was the only son in Yu Yan’s family, so if he is adopted to the first family, the second family would be the one without heirs. There is no other way but to do an ancestral ceremony, that is, Yu Wenjun will be doing an ancestral ceremony for both households. At the same time, he will assume the inheritance of holding the incense for both his own family, and that of his uncle’s family.

This meant that he had to marry two wives to carry on the family line. Yu Wenjun was already engaged to Yu Shi1, his childhood sweetheart, and was only waiting for her to reach adulthood before he could marry her.

As a result, he was forced to marry his eldest cousin’s fiancé when he was still alive, Li Shi This is simply a disaster out of nowhere, Yu Shi watched as he was forced to marry another woman, and spent three months with her under the urging of the family elders, before he could finally marry her, thus ending the feud between Li Shi and Yu Shi.

(T/N: Dang this is too complicated!)

Both Madam Yu and Madam Li were the first wives of their subsequent households, and although they had the same husband, they had to address each other as sister-in-law every time they met.

Yu Qingjia is Madam Yu’s daughter, while Yu Qingya is Madam Li’s daughter. Although they share the same father, they are considered cousins.

Although they are nominally sisters-in-law sitting together, but they live under the same roof. So there is no distinction between their statuses. The first household was in charge, and if it wasn’t for the accidental death of the only son of their household, Yu Wenjun might not become their heir.

Therefore, the First household had always been mighty and domineering, thinking that he could only inherit rights for their household all because of their kindness.

However Madam Yu was originally childhood sweethearts with Yu Wenjun, Li Shi had to interfere in their own marriage. So In terms of time and reason, Li Shi was the third party.

But who made the rules that children must follow their elders?

They forced Yu Wenjun to marry Li Shi first. So Li Shi passed the door before Madam Yu did.

So every time she met with Madam Yu, she was full of superiority. She naturally looked down on her. Although she didn’t say anything, she had always regarded Madam Yu as a concubine in her heart.

Her mother’s attitude obviously affected her daughter’s, Yu Qingya grew up regarding herself as the eldest daughter of the first wife ever since she was a child, belittling Yu Qingjia as a daughter of a concubine in every way possible.

The status of concubines and their children are naturally very low, what Li Shi and Yu Qingya said was by no means an inadvertent mistake. They were deliberately mocking them.

But who let the Old Madam Yu of the Yu family be partial to them? 

He was not used to Yu Wenjun’s solitary style, but he was so controlling that he had to interfere even in the family affairs of his children and grandchildren.

Yu Wenjun was not happy when he was forced to marry Madam Li. He had no interest in his sister-in-law at all. So after their marriage, he spent most of his time with his real wife, Yu Shi, and stayed in Yu Shi’s room every night.

How could Madam Li be willing to tolerate this kind of thing?

Old Madam Yu also favor their household, so she deliberately made Madam Yu stay in front of her eyes, and even summoned Madam Yu to serve her sickbed, and forced Yu Wenjun to spend the night at Madam Li’s place in various ways.

The years that Yu Qingjia and her mother spent in that old house were not really good.

Under such pressure, Madam Yu left early before she could even reach thirty. When Madam Yu passed away, Yu Qingjia was only ten years old. Yu Wenjun lost his beloved wife and felt pain and guilt in his heart, and at the same time he developed a strong anger and disgust towards Old Madam Yu and Madam Li.

After his wife’s funeral, Yu Wenjun immediately contacted a friend to take up a job in a different county. After nearly a year of asking friends for vacancies, and fighting with his family, Yu Wenjun left Yanzhou as he wished, and took his twelve-year-old daughter to Qingzhou to take up the post.

Although the conditions in Guangling were nowhere near those of her hometown, Yu Qingjia felt extremely happy. She spent two years of carefree boudoir life here.

That is until today. 

When she finally learned that Yu Qingya, had been reborn, and seemed to be contracted with a demonic system, and that her father had brought back an extremely arrogant concubine.

Yu Wenjun took Yu Qingjia away but left Madam Li and Yu Qingya behind. In the eyes of both their mother and daughter, Yu Wenjun was being partial to that thin skinned white-eyed wolf.

Yu Qingya was originally very hostile to her, now reborn, with the help of the system, What she would do to her hometown made Yu Qingjia’s scalp tingle just thinking about it.

Now Old Madam Yu is sternly urging them to go home, presumably it is also due to Yu Qingya’s instigation.

She just doesn’t know how many bad things Yu Qingya had said about her in front of the Old Madam Yu, and now her prejudice against Yu Qingjia is probably getting more and more intense.

Yu Qingjia didn’t want to deal with these troubles. She threw the letter aside and did not even want to read it again. Bai Zhi watched her movements, and cautiously called,

“Miss ……”

“I’m fine.” Yu Qingjia said indifferently, “I already knew what kind of attitude they had towards me, so why would I get upset over such a trivial matter?.”

Bai Zhi sighed inwardly, their sixth young lady is beautiful and kind. She is the sweetest person she knew. Bai Zhi doesn’t think it’s enough to praise her like a jewel. She really can not understand why the Old Madam Yu, and the young lady of the first household can have the heart to treat her so harshly.

Bai Zhi is full of pain and pity, but Yu Qingjia was calm and relaxed. She untied the jade ring in her hand and gently placed it on the table, her hand movements tinkling, her expression is also indescribably cold and beautiful,

“Whether they like me or not is their personal matter. The old ancestor does not like me, I have nothing to say, but I do not owe them anything. It’s fine for the ancestor to be indifferent to me, but if the first household looks down on me and wants to take the opportunity to tarnish my reputation, I can’t agree to it.”

Whether if it was Madam Li or Yu Qingya who wanted to scheme against her, she would not allow it. Rebirth is not a reason to do evil, Yu Qingjia is the heroine of the original book, and it is not a sin.

The author has something to say:

It was the Qing Dynasty’s emphasis to marry two wives concurrently. For example, Mei Lanfang had two ancestral houses and married two wives. I haven’t found relevant records about it in the Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties for the time being. If you hold your hands high, just pretend that you don’t see this little bug…
