Chapter 248 It seems the son can't stay in this house any longer.
When Yu Pengze and his guests arrived at the scene, they found that Yu Jiashu had fallen into the water and was almost pulled out by a servant.
Yu Jiashu climbed out of the pond, trembling all over.
It's cold, so cold!
Surrounded by the crowd, Yu Jiashu entered the house. The house was much warmer inside, and servants brought him towels and blankets.
Yu Jiashu was also a martial artist, so although the water was cold, it wouldn't have a significant impact on his body, nor would it cause him any lasting health problems.
"What happened?" Yu Pengze asked.
How did my son end up falling into the water all of a sudden?
Yu Jiashu's gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on Yu Tianzong.
Yu Tianzong guiltily looked away.
His gaze lingered on Yu Tianzong for a few seconds, and everyone followed his gaze to Yu Tianzong.
Yu Tianzong is not good at pretending. Those who are good at reading people will understand that it must have been Yu Tianzong who pushed Yu Jiashu into the water.
Looking at Yu Jiashu and Yu Tianzong, Yu Pengze had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
However, with so many people present, if it were publicly stated that the second son pushed the eldest son into the water, Tianzong's reputation would be ruined, so it was absolutely impossible to say that.
“It’s late, and it’s normal that you can’t see the road clearly since it’s your first time home. Be more careful next time,” Yu Pengze said.
Yu Jiashu sneered inwardly as he listened to Yu Pengze's words.
That's pretty much what the Crown Princess said.
If he insists today that Yu Tianzong pushed him into the water, Yu Pengze will probably choose to protect Yu Tianzong and could very well accuse him of slander.
Anyway, he didn't have much hope for Yu Pengze.
Yu Jiashu looked aggrieved yet forcedly restrained, glanced at Yu Tianzong, and said, "It was my own carelessness. I will remember this and will not let Father worry next time."
The guests present felt indignant on Yu Jiashu's behalf when they saw him in this state.
Those who know the inside story know that Yu Jiashu was kicked out of Yu Pengze's house before he was born, and was even labeled as a bastard.
Now that they see that he has passed the imperial examination and become a third-ranked scholar, and has entered the Ministry of War, they are eager to claim kinship with him.
Looking at it now, Yu Jiashu is still being bullied in the Yu family. Yu Pengze clearly favors his second son and lets him bully his eldest son.
"The pond is brightly lit, so it's understandable if you take the wrong turn," someone said sarcastically.
Yu Pengze's face flushed red and then turned pale.
Some people sensed something was wrong and started to leave.
Actually, the banquet had only been going on for a short time.
As the guests left one by one, Yu Pengze was so angry that his beard stood on end.
What a mess this birthday banquet has become!
He glared fiercely at Yu Tianzong.
Everyone dispersed, and the whole family gathered together.
Old Master Yu was too old to concern himself with these matters; only Yu Pengze, Madam Li, Yu Jiashu, and Yu Tianzong were present.
Yu Jiashu had already changed his clothes and his hair was almost dry.
He lowered his head, looking sad.
Li's face looked extremely pale.
My stupid son, with so many guests, just pushed someone into the water.
Could that little bit of water in the pond drown someone? What's the point of pushing it?
Yu Pengze also had a stern face.
He was sitting in a chair, while everyone else was standing.
Yu Tianzong knew he had caused trouble, but he was still resentful.
So what if I pushed him into the water? It's no big deal!
There were several servants in the room, none of them daring to lift their eyes; the atmosphere in the room was simply too oppressive.
I sensed the master was about to lose his temper.
"What exactly happened today?" Yu Pengze asked coldly.
Yu Tianzong dared not utter a sound.
Yu Jiashu knelt down, his eyes filled with grievance and helplessness.
"Father, I originally wanted to get along well with everyone in the family," Yu Jiashu said, his head bowed, his expression as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"But I never expected my brother to do this to my son. It seems my son can't stay in this house anymore. He will pack his bags and leave first thing tomorrow morning."
After saying this, he solemnly kowtowed three times to Yu Pengze.
Upon hearing this, Yu Pengze panicked.
I finally managed to coax Yu Jiashu back, and now he wants to leave again? This is unacceptable!
The Yu family has finally produced an official, and with Jia Shu's talent, his future is limitless!
How could I let him leave!
Yu Pengze quickly got up and helped Yu Jiashu up.
"Good child, you are a sensible child. You didn't tell the truth in front of everyone just now because you cared about the family and your brother's reputation. Stay at home and don't worry about it."
He then glared fiercely at Yu Tianzong, who felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet.
"You wretched creature, kneel down before me!" Yu Pengze roared.
Yu Tianzong's obese body trembled, and he looked at his father with a wronged expression.
The father actually made him kneel down for this bastard child!
Yu Tianzong still knelt down.
"You look so resentful!" Yu Pengze's heart pounded with anger.
"So what if I pushed him into the water? He didn't die!" Yu Tianzong retorted stubbornly.
Seeing that Yu Pengze was truly angry this time, and that her son dared to talk back like that, Li hurriedly said, "Tianzong, say less!"
Yu Pengze's temple throbbed with a vein: "Are you only satisfied when you've killed someone?"
"If it weren't for your brother's magnanimity, your reputation would be ruined!"
Yu Jiashu thought to himself, "If it weren't for my magnanimity, I would be the one whose reputation is ruined now."
"Quickly kowtow to your brother and apologize!" Yu Pengze said.
Yu Tianzong looked at his father in disbelief: "Father, you actually want me to kowtow to him and apologize? Just for such a trivial matter?"
Yu Pengze retorted angrily, "Is this a small matter? In this freezing weather, pushing someone into the water, what if they freeze to death!"
Upon hearing this, Li was also incredulous.
Yu Pengze actually made his son kowtow to that kid to apologize.
The servants are still here, how can you humiliate them like this!
Yu Jiashu lowered his head and remained silent.
"Husband, just have Tianzong apologize to Jiashu, there's no need for him to kowtow and beg for forgiveness. After all, it's just children playing around..."
Yu Pengze stood up abruptly and slapped Li across the face.
Li was slapped to the ground, a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth, staring at Yu Pengze in disbelief.
In the years since Yu Pengze stopped relying on the Li family, although he has been quite cold towards her, he has never hit her.
Now, he's actually hitting her because of that Yu Jiashu!
"You stupid woman! If it weren't for you, how could Tianzong have been spoiled like this!" Yu Pengze pointed at her nose and cursed.
Yu Jiashu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally said, "Father, I don't need my brother to kowtow and apologize to me. I'll just leave."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Yu Pengze grabbed him in a hurry.
From an angle unseen by anyone, Yu Jiashu's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.
"Child, you can't leave. You stay here and watch."
"Men, drag this bastard away and beat him until he begs for forgiveness!" Yu Pengze ordered his servants.
