After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

"Of course, my father is still the one who calls the shots in this family. That's why I brought you here. Even if you are seriously injured, your daughter will never let you miss this important ceremony!" Yu Qingli said, clenching her hands into fists behind her back, looking straight at Yu Zhengsha!

Yu Zhengsha's eyes narrowed, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and his fists were clenched at his sides!

Due to anger, his forehead bulged and blood flowed out, winding along his temple.

The atmosphere was so tense that the servants didn't even dare to breathe!

I just don't understand. In the past, the young lady never contradicted the master. The master always said what he meant, and she would be afraid when he scolded her harshly. How could she have the courage to confront the master now, and more than once?

"Burn!" Yu Qingli said coldly.

The servant holding the torch looked at the young lady, then looked at Yu Zhengsha, who was hesitant to take action. He was in a dilemma, not knowing whose to listen to.

"Get started! This is the last thing you'll do in my Yufu. Once you're done, everyone will receive two years of service and receive an antique from my Yufu."

No one would think money is too little, especially since Miss Yu offered such tempting conditions: two years of seniority... and antiques. How much would that cost? Just selling the antiques would be enough to last a lifetime.

Yu Zhengsha gritted his teeth and glared at Yu Qingli, "Master is not dead yet, just..."

Halfway through his words, someone behind him poured kerosene, and the torch was instantly thrown on! As long as you have money, these slaves will not care about you at all. This is what the so-called "people leave and the tea gets cold" means.

wow...

The flames shot up several feet high. The area where the oil was poured was not large, but the fire was very big, and it instantly burned up half the sky!

The servants watched the flames rise, eager to make their own move. When would they finally get their hands on the money and antiques? Those farther away from Yu Zhengsha and Yu Qingli were already slipping away, first grabbing a decent antique and then, if they could get more, they wouldn't even ask for the wages. Those nearby, seeing their companions slip away, quickened their pace to follow... By then, only a handful of people were left.

"This bunch of ungrateful bastards..." Mei Hong cursed softly. She wanted to stay with the young lady until death.

Yu Qingli looked at the rising flames, curled her lips and smiled.

"Haha..." A cruel laugh overflowed from his lips, his eyes were illuminated by the flames and were as red as blood. There seemed to be three people crawling there, on the edge of a knife, in the cold palace, in the fire, struggling in pain, with hideous eyes, trapped in the abyss of pain, but no one cared.

She, her daughter, her mother—all dead.

Now the only one left alive is Yu Qingli, without any relatives or anyone to rely on!

Yu Zhengsha's bones rattled. Having spent years in the officialdom, he had never felt so irritated, unable to vent his anger. A fiery flame shot into his pupils, a murderous intent so fierce it could pierce a person's heart!

He turned his gaze to his daughter...Yu Qingli.

I underestimated her before. Why did I think she had no ambition and was of no use to me?

I guess... he must have seen it wrong!

The next day.

Yufu was completely destroyed overnight. The fire had been burning for three days and had only just begun to extinguish this morning. Lord Yu Zhengsha's reputation spread, and his image as a good father and husband was instantly shattered.

Yu Zhengsha, the richest man in Jiangnan, had all his property divided up by his servants overnight.

Yu Zhengsha's daughter, Yu Qingli, the most talented woman in Jiangnan, instantly became the object of people's ridicule. Her family fell into poverty and she was accused of marrying a woodcutter.

On the street, a young man stood with his hands behind his back. Another young man, dressed as a servant, called out pitifully, "Master..." They had been standing there for so long. Was he going to leave or not?

Murong Yanhui raised an eyebrow, "Is there something?" They heard all the gossip after dinner, but Murong Yanhui didn't even blink, pretending to be deaf to it.

"No..." Qingjiu thought to himself, you were so attached to her just a few days ago, and now she's in trouble and rumors are spreading, and you don't go out to stop them? Don't you go and comfort her?

"But I, your master, have something to do!" Murong Yanhui opened the fan, and a breeze blew over, gently swaying a strand of black hair on her chest. She had a peerless face and a slender and graceful figure. She stood there and attracted countless eyes in an instant.

"Please give me your instructions, Master."

"Let's go lie down with Yu Fu. Generally speaking...when she's sad like this, she'll definitely look for a strong shoulder to lean on..."

Qingjiu: Master, you are finally back to normal.

"In this way, I, your master, will be able to embrace a beauty again. Who knows, one day she might throw herself into my arms and fall in love with me." Murong Yanhui smiled as if bathed in the spring breeze. He was different from the immortals in this troubled world, and different from the noble and arrogant people in this noisy world. The only thing that was the same as in this noisy world was: a ruffian spirit that penetrated from the bones thoroughly.

Qingjiu: Haha, he thinks too much, master, or... his IQ is not enough.

*********

Yufu.

The contrast between the former richest man's house and the dilapidated house today is stark.

"Meihong, why don't you leave?" Yu Qingli leaned against the stone pillar, the only stone pillar that had not been destroyed. It was still carved with two dragons playing with a pearl, and one could still see its former glory.

"Miss, Meihong will not leave. Meihong wants to be with you, forever." Meihong felt sorry for the young lady. She kept reheating the food. For two days, the young lady had not eaten a grain of rice or drunk a drop of water. How could this go on?

"Is that so?" Yu Qingli said softly... and then said no more.

"Miss, eat something..."

"Are the things ready?" Yu Qingli stopped her and asked.

Mei Hong was stunned by the question, and then she thought of it and went downstairs immediately. After a while, she came back with two urns in her hands.

"Miss, here..."

Yu Qingli took the one from her mother and held it in her palm. Her dry eyes finally showed some emotion, grief, grief...

"Meihong, let's find a quiet place with a good environment to bury him..." The last three words of Yu Qingli rolled out from her throat, with a kind of powerlessness and desolation like a candle that has burned out.

Meihong felt a little scared of the young lady... It seemed as if there was nothing in her heart, nothing in her eyes, and only a shell was left.

When he was about to say something, Yu Qingli had already taken away another urn and headed towards the small house where Yu Zhengsha was temporarily staying.

This is the only place where Yu Zhengsha can rest. It is extremely simple. Everything that needs to be burned has been burned, and the scene is still dirty and messy. He has only a loyal housekeeper by his side, Jiang Bai, a man who has followed Yu Zhengsha since he was 12 years old.

Yu Zhengsha also looked extremely depressed. He sat on a chair with his eyes half-closed and his face pale, but his head was still held high.

Yu Zhengsha was like this. No matter when or where, he would not allow himself to bow his head, unless it was the emperor, the Son of Heaven! He had to kneel and bow his head!

His pride and aloofness have earned him an unshakable position in the imperial court today. Such a character is not generally pleasing to others, yet the emperor holds him in high esteem.

As soon as Yu Qingli approached, he spoke, "Is there something?" His voice was dull and without any ups and downs, and he didn't even look at Yu Qingli while speaking.

"Yes. Father, these are my mother's ashes. After all, you and I were married, after all, you married her in a formal ceremony, after all, I loved you for so many years, after all... you and I had a daughter like her. Now that she is dead, this last souvenir should belong to you." Yu Qingli held it in both hands, walked to her father, stretched out her hands, and waited for him to take it.

Only then did Yu Zhengsha look at him, and a mysterious look flashed across his sharp eyes!

He stared at her for a long moment before saying, "Do you think... I was the one who poisoned your mother? And that I set the fire?"

Yu Qingli didn't reply, her back straight. Her eyes, dry and bloodshot from not sleeping for days, were still delicate and paper-white, with the demeanor of a willow tree, yet possessed a resilience that defied strong winds.

Such silence...the meaning is very clear.

Yu Qingli did give Yu Zhengsha this feeling. Yes, she did think so.

"There's nothing I can do. You can only blame me for my poor teaching. So what are you going to do? Kill me to avenge your mother? Or sever the father-daughter relationship with me?" Yu Zhengsha raised an eyebrow and replied, with no intention of taking the urn.

"I dare not. I have never suspected that my father would kill my mother. I am just angry...Why didn't my father come back earlier and let the evil people kill my mother, and let the evil people not even let go of my mother's body and limbs." Yu Qingli lowered her head, her voice hoarse.

Yes, she had to bow her head.

Otherwise, she would reveal the hatred and disgust in her eyes!

However, my whole body still couldn't stop shaking...

Yu Zhengsha saw her trembling, his eyes sharp as an eagle. First silence, then denial. This change in attitude was simply an attempt to cover up the truth. He understood. He looked at her for two seconds. Since you deny it, he, as a father, naturally has to adapt to reality.

He took the urn and said, "It's my father's fault. I've made you suffer. Let Jiang Bai handle the business. Cheer up. You are the heir of my Yu family. These businesses will definitely be handed over to you in the future. Father is old..."

"Master... the young lady took over various brands from the eldest lady three years ago, and she opened three cloth shops and two bookshops on her own. The profits of her business are not inferior to those of the Yu family." Jiang Bai interrupted at this time, his eyes full of admiration for Yu Qingli.

Yu Zhengsha is surprised... He hasn't been home for three years, and when he receives a letter, it's always Li who takes charge, telling him about the business, but never saying that it's his daughter who's doing it.

She lied to him!

He paused for a moment and said with a smile, "Li'er, you did a great job. Daddy is proud of you. Jiang Bai, find a courtyard for the young lady and buy it at any price."

"Yes."

Yu Qingli took two steps back, "Thank you for your concern, father. Mother was thinking, missing, and complaining when she was alive, hoping that you could come back from the capital to accompany her and this family... Now, she has finally done it. Father will carry mother with him and will be with her day and night. Mother, you can rest in peace. When you return to the capital with glory one day, you will see the prosperity of the capital." She knelt down, bowed to her father, no, to be precise, she bowed to the urn in her father's hand, kowtowed, and kowtowed three times.

To the 'mother', and also to the father.

Yu Zhengsha's eyes narrowed. He never expected Yu Qingli to say that!

Did she mean for him to wear the ashes on his body?

Yu Qingli, well done!

Facing the urn and Yu Qingli, Yu Zhengsha did not say a word, as if he agreed.

Yu Qingli knelt down and left.

Halfway through the walk, Mei Hong asked, "Miss, will the master really carry it with him?"

Yu Qingli curled her lips and said, "Go back and listen, be smart!"

Mei Hong's bright eyes turned, she immediately understood and turned back.

Yu Qingli knew... Yu Zhengsha wouldn't bring it, so why would he? How could such a proud and aloof man bring the ashes of a dead person? He had doted on Zhou before, giving her everything she wanted. Even when she couldn't have children, he still treated her well. But in the end... when it came to profit, he still sacrificed Zhou!
