The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 272 This mansion has been renovated, and servants have been sent over; what other trouble do they want to cause?
He was in such a hurry that he just wanted to find his aunt and get back to save the day, so he ignored Qiao Wenyuan sitting next to Sheng Wanqiu.

“Grandfather, my troublesome grandmother is here, and she brought a woman with her, saying she wants to be my eldest brother’s wife!”

"My parents haven't come back yet, what am I going to do? And this woman insists that my brother hugged her and won't marry her, so she's going to hang herself at my doorstep!"

Yu Guijiao felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about how his eldest brother had almost fainted from anger. His eldest brother was a brilliant student, but when faced with something like this, he acted like a complete idiot. His second brother said that it was because he was so studious that he had become stupid and was tricked.

If it weren't for his second brother, a martial arts expert, stopping him, his eldest brother would probably have been forced by his grandmother to marry that woman.

"Is that so? I knew Guifeng had become an idiot from studying too much, he doesn't know how to be flexible at all. See, see, I was right!"

"Didn't your old hag's wife go back to the countryside? Why is she back? Didn't she say she didn't want to live in the capital and wanted to go back to the countryside to live with her eldest son and his whole family?"

"This mansion has been renovated, and servants have been sent over. What other trouble are you trying to cause!"

"Your father is such a bastard, he's blindly filial. Hesitation only leads to trouble, that's exactly the kind of person your father is!"

Qiao Wenyuan immediately launched into a tirade, his face turning blue with anger. He had initially thought Yu Wanxiu was a good person in every way, except that his mother was a bit unreliable. If his daughter hadn't insisted on marrying him, he would have definitely broken them up.

"Dad, don't be angry. I'll go see what's going on. How dare they bully my nephew? They must be tired of living!"

From Qiao Wenyuan's words, Sheng Wanqiu had already roughly guessed the melodramatic story behind it. It was probably about a poor family producing a golden phoenix, who then gained power and married a rich heiress, and the whole family leeched off her!
Then, whether it is a golden phoenix or a speckled hen, we still need to carefully distinguish.

"Alright, go ahead! If someone dies, your dad will take the blame!" Qiao Wenyuan replied with considerable confidence, because he knew that his little daughter was worth eight men!

So Sheng Wanqiu, along with Xia Hua and Qiu Yi, followed Yu Guijiao back to the Yu residence.

As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw that it was surrounded by layers upon layers of people, and I could faintly hear the mournful cries of a woman.

Sheng Wanqiu made a shushing gesture and led her people into the crowd of onlookers.

"You unfilial son, give me a straight answer today: are you going to marry Fu'er or not!"

"If you don't marry me, this old woman will kill herself right here today, so that everyone will despise you, you little beast!"

A fat old woman with a mean-looking face and a cane was pointing her finger at Yu Guifeng and cursing him, while behind her stood a mother and daughter who were crying their eyes out.

The younger woman was being held in the arms of the middle-aged woman, her face obscured. The middle-aged woman holding her had a shrewd look on her face and was quite attractive, though her eyes darted around, clearly indicating her wicked intentions. "Grandmother, I've told you so many times, I just saw her about to fall and helped her up."

"Why can't you understand? You insist that I marry her!" Yu Guifeng's face darkened, looking like a scholar encountering a soldier—unable to reason with him, as if he was about to faint from anger at any moment.

Sheng Wanqiu rolled her eyes helplessly. Sure enough, a scholar is useless. What good things can he do? He fell down, so what? He might as well die!
You know, in modern times, many elderly people who fall to the ground are not dared to be helped up. Helping them up could lead to financial ruin, so who would dare to do that!
However, if in modern times a girl is helped up and then cries and begs to marry him, it would keep all the single young men busy. They would be wandering the streets every day, and might even cause accidents to rush to help her up!

"You've already held my daughter, how is she supposed to get married?! You have to take responsibility, or my daughter and I will hang ourselves at your front door! Waaah! My poor daughter!"

The middle-aged woman wailed so pitifully, as if her parents had died, and her tears came so easily, making her quite a skilled actress.

"How could you do this! You, you, you've really gone too far!" Yu Guifeng's lips trembled; he was on the verge of tears. What kind of mess was this?! Why was he so unlucky?
If he had known that his grandmother was plotting against him like this, he should have stayed far away from them and never appeared in front of them. He now regrets not listening to his second brother!

He originally thought that since his grandmother had returned and his parents were not around, as the eldest son in the family, he had to go and greet them. They were also distant relatives, so he should at least entertain them. But he never expected that helping someone would lead to him being taken advantage of. What a mess!
"Grandmother, shall we wait until Father and Mother return to discuss this matter? Look at all these people watching outside, shall we go inside first and talk about it?"

Yu Guiqing, the second son of the Yu family, spoke up, his fists clenched. He had warned his honest older brother long ago to stay away from the mother and daughter, but his brother thought he was making a mountain out of a molehill and thinking too badly of them. Now look what happened! Let's see if he dares to do it again!

"No way! We'll say it outside: Guifeng, just give your old woman a straight answer, are you going to marry your cousin or not!"

The plump old lady tapped her cane, looking quite dignified. Looking at the eager expression on her face, it seemed she wished Yu Guifeng could enter the bridal chamber right now!

"Cousin? What cousin? I've never heard of her!"

"Guifeng, Guiqing, come here, come to your auntie's side!"

Sheng Wanqiu couldn't stand it anymore. Good heavens, consanguineous marriage resulting in a deformed child, these ancient people were really brave.

"Auntie, you're here! Help me!" Yu Guifeng took a deep breath; his savior had arrived, he was saved!

Looking at her nephew, who was much taller than her and was about to cry, looking aggrieved, Sheng Wanqiu just wanted to jump up and give him a good scolding. In the future, she would never have such a useless nephew, who was just a bookworm.

"Everyone disperse! What are you looking at! What's so interesting! If you keep looking, you might lose your life!" Sheng Wanqiu shouted at the onlookers, then took out a token and showed it to the crowd. This was the capital, after all; there were bound to be many knowledgeable people here.

The emperor sent Zhang Dehai to deliver this gold token to her yesterday, saying that she could enter the palace at any time with it, and that she could also mobilize the soldiers in the capital prefecture with it. It's very useful!
