Chapter 252

The police took Yu mother and several others to the police station to give statements; during the process, Yu mother refused to cooperate at all, shouting repeatedly, "How is my son? I want to see my son."

Finally, after being scolded by the police, she became honest.

But she seemed to have lost her soul; no matter what the police asked, she kept her head down and said nothing.

The police had no choice but to give up on her, turning instead to the eldest Yu daughter and the second Yu daughter; fortunately, both were timid, and they confessed everything as soon as the police questioned them.

Hearing this, the police were shocked; they had never seen such a vicious family before.

Simply because that young woman refused to marry her son, they deliberately schemed to ruin her reputation and even tried to seize her property through this—utterly vicious.

Su Ruo and Bai Xinya waited at home for a long time, but Li Zhaodi didn't show up; after receiving a call from the police, they hurried over.

Thus, after Li Zhaodi finished giving her statement and came out, she saw Su Ruo and Bai Xinya waiting at the door; Bai Xinya, upon seeing Li Zhaodi, immediately stepped forward anxiously and asked, "How do you feel? Are you hurt?"

Li Zhaodi smiled and shook her head, saying, "I'm fine, but that family—this time it won't be easy for them to get out again."

Bai Xinya, who usually cultivates herself well, couldn't help but lash out this time: "You dirty-hearted scum, actually coming up with such a vicious scheme to harm you—they should all die in prison."

Li Zhaodi and Su Ruo quickly comforted Bai Xinya, telling her not to be too angry; the Yu family dared to do such a thing, and they will surely pay the price.

After all that commotion, when the few of them returned to the Siheyuan, the sky was already almost light.

All three were exhausted, so they hurried back to catch up on sleep; they slept until noon, then ate something casually and went again to the police bureau to inquire about the situation.

After Yu Pengfei was sent to the hospital yesterday, he endured a whole night of turmoil; the doctors tried various methods, but could not alleviate the drug's effects in his body.

Although he was eventually saved, he was basically incapacitated; he will likely never be able to have children again in his lifetime.

The police questioned Yu mother about what she had fed Yu Pengfei the day before; at first she refused to say, but after the police told her that Yu Pengfei was ruined and would never be able to marry or have children in this lifetime, she finally spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yu mother burst into tears, wailing while she slapped herself hard in the face.

Only then did the police realize that what Yu mother had given Yu Pengfei to eat was actually veterinary medicine used for animal breeding; she had thought a little would be harmless, never expecting it would harm her own son.

Several officers, upon hearing this, were somewhat speechless.

What Yu mother was most proud of in her lifetime was raising several children on her own and preserving the foundation of the Old Yu Family.

But now all of that has been destroyed—her daughter, harmed by her, is headed for prison, and her son, also harmed by her, has become a cripple.

Yu mother's intestines regretted green; she continually harmed herself by banging her head against the wall, and to prevent her suicide, the police had no choice but to tie her up.

Leaving the police bureau, Li Zhaodi felt a complex mix of emotions; seeing the Yu family's fate, she didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

Upon hearing that Yu Pengfei wanted to see her, Li Zhaodi hesitated a moment, but still went to see him for the last time.

On the hospital bed, Yu Pengfei, his face deathly pale, apologized to Li Zhaodi, repeatedly saying sorry; finally, voice and tears together, he begged Li Zhaodi to spare his mother and sisters.

Looking at Yu Pengfei, Li Zhaodi felt only pity; when they first met, he was clearly such a sunny, warm young man.

He originally had a decent job and a hardworking spirit, but all of that was destroyed by his foolish filial piety.

If he had been able to hold to his own principles and not obey his mother and sisters in everything, he could have had a decent future, but now it's all been ruined by himself.

People say that a mother who spoils her child is like killing him; the reverse is also true—perhaps having such a filial son is the pride of Yu mother and the Yu Family Three Sisters.

But such a character also doomed Yu Pengfei's tragedy.

Li Zhaodi said nothing, turned and walked out of the ward; behind her, Yu Pengfei continued to desperately beg, pleading for her to give his mother and sisters a chance to live, willing to bear any cost.

Li Zhaodi did not turn back until she could no longer hear Yu Pengfei's voice; then she sat down in a spot in the hospital garden.

Su Ruo came over, looking at Li Zhaodi's despondent expression, and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Li Zhaodi gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm wondering whether my appearance harmed them; if I hadn't met them, that family, though poor, could still have lived well."

But my appearance fueled their inner greed, leading them to stop at nothing.

Su Ruo directly slapped Li Zhaodi on the head and said, "They did bad things because they themselves had wicked intentions; it has nothing to do with you, so don't blame yourself for everything."

After receiving that slap, Li Zhaodi felt the gloom on her body instantly dissipate.

She felt her master was right: a gentleman loves wealth but acquires it properly; she has money and will only have more in the future, and she cannot let this become a reason for others to harm her.

However, after this incident, Li Zhaodi feels that besides her master and Bai Xinya, she will find it hard to trust anyone else.

From now on, the long road ahead—she just needs to have them and she'll be fine.

Because the evidence was solid, the Yu family's verdict came down quickly.
