Lord Yu would never admit that his original intention was to buy a pair of twins. He never considered the fact that doing so would break up a good family.
Still, he had only thought about it. In contrast, Old Lady Ruan had put it into action.
He couldn't let such a wicked person continue to do evil. Otherwise, how many more children would be hurt in the future? The Daoist nun had said that he had to take care of children, so he had to teach such a person a lesson. He had to set an example to others, which could also be considered as indirectly protecting many children.
Therefore, when Old Lady Ruan came to the Yu family for their help in seeking justice for her because Shu Yu had smashed her house, she was simply sending herself to the door. Lord Yu straight away sent people to the Ruan Family Village and tore down half of Old Lady Ruan's house. He even broke the Ruan family's eldest son's leg.
Of course, all of this happened later.
