When the servants gathered outside Deshan Hall, the old lady was having a meal.
"How is it appropriate to make noises outside? Why does Mrs. Xu manage the house? It's getting more and more outrageous."
"She was also said to be the daughter of a celebrity in Kyoto, but that's all she looked like."
"Back then, my son knelt in her house for three days and three nights, talking about getting married. Now, the entire Xu family is in jail." The old lady's face showed a hint of disdain.
In the past few days, the whole city has become aware of the lightning strike, and she's feeling angry.
Only the Xu family was raided, and she felt happy.
Lin Yan was coming back and reported: "The old lady, said that the third son of the third son had made a mistake.
Mother Lin paused and said, "I remember that those two boys seemed to have left Deshan Hall."
The old lady's face turned gloomy.
Isn't this a slap in the face of Deshantang?
Mama Lin helped her stand up and went straight out.
The servants and servants outside the door have already arrived, and everyone looks a little panicked. They all looked at the two book boys tied in the center.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What mistake did they make, and they deserve to be punished with a cane? Is this how a wealthy family wastes human life?" The old lady was leaning on a cane, and she was scolding the young man she sent with the cane in public. What does this mean?
Mrs. Xu bowed to the old lady.
"Old madam, these two beasts actually deceived the superiors and took Brother Xiao to gamble. They led Brother Xiao astray."
"They came from Deshan Hall and were carefully selected by their mother. They are afraid of deliberately deceiving her. If you don't set an example by punishing others, wouldn't everyone be able to deceive you? If you don't know this, they will misunderstand that you deliberately teach bad things. Where is the grandson?" Mrs. Xu looked angry.
The old lady frowned when she heard about gambling.
She looked at the two book boys, who saw fear and prayer in their eyes.
"Old lady, help me, old lady, help me. It's Pei..." The two nuns in front of the old lady suddenly stepped forward and blocked the mouths of the two book boys.
The old lady's eyelids were twitching wildly.
These two book boys were given by Pei Jiaojiao.
Lu Yuanze's outer room.
Xu glanced at her and slowly clenched her fists.
"Today, everyone is watching with wide eyes! Look what will happen if you betray your master!" As soon as Mrs. Xu raised her hand, there was a banging sound in the courtyard.
The sound of a stick hitting flesh.
The two book boys were tied to a bench, their mouths were tightly gagged, their foreheads were covered with cold sweat, and their eyes were fixed on the old lady.
The gagged mouth kept whimpering.
One stick after another, each sound heavier than the other.
In less than half an hour, blood splattered from his stool, and blood stains flowed all over the bench.
The two book boys' faces were blue and purple, with blood spilling from the corners of their mouths. They fell limply on the stools. The blood and flesh became a mess, and all the servants were silent. Some maids were so frightened that they started to cry.
The old lady took a step back in fright.
"Old Madam, let's go back first?" Nanny Lin felt the old Madam's body trembling and whispered.
As soon as the old lady closed her eyes, she could think of the two book boys lying on the ground in a **** mess.
This time, it was not only the maid who was struck with the stick, but also her body.
The whole person seemed to be frightened, and was half-supported and half-carried by Granny Lin and took her back.
"Eat my rice and smash my bowl. If you want to die, I won't stop you!" Mrs. Xu has always been known for her virtuousness. This is the first time that she has killed someone with a stick.
Everyone in the house is in danger.
Xu gave Lu Yuanxiao a slap in the face and commended Lu Yuanxiao's servant in front of everyone.
He beat the person hard before putting him back.
[Mother is mighty, mother is so powerful...] Xu's heart was heavy and she never even glanced at Lu Yuanxiao.
Lu Yuanxiao followed her mother step by step with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, I know I was wrong." He was shocked to realize just how dangerous he was at this moment.
For these three days, he completely lost himself.
If it hadn't been for what happened to his mother, I'm afraid he would have no chance of salvation.
"Mother, don't ignore me. My son went astray and made my mother angry." Lu Yuanxiao followed Xu into the house and knelt straight on the ground.
Dengzhi secretly wiped away his tears. The Marquis raised his wife's wife, who also gave birth to children. The whole house kept it secret from his wife. The three children are useless and the wife is in a difficult situation. Who knows?
Mrs. Xu's eyes were red, and she stepped forward to help her son up: "My mother paid too little attention to you and let people take advantage of her." Her son was obviously sensible and obedient before he was three years old, so why did he become like this?
The depression and grievance in her heart could not be told, and no one could believe it.
Xu personally selected all the attendants around him, and then discovered that few people in his court were trustworthy.
My heart is full of fear.
ifier, the children of the outer wife are smart and smart, but the mother's children are either disabled or dandy, have no ambition to make progress, and have been annulled, how should they live? Completely became a control group. ]The little guy sighed quietly.
[Third brother is not living up to expectations. ]
Lu Yuanxiao's crying figure froze for an instant.
keep…
What to raise?
Father, raising an outside wife? !
He raised his head sharply.
"It's not my mother's fault, it's because Yuanxiao is not strong-willed, and it's because Yuanxiao is playful. It's because Yuanxiao lost her sense of propriety because of her parents' favor." After he finished speaking, he paused and looked at his mother without leaving any trace.
At some point, my mother became very haggard, and she may not have seen a smile on her face for a long time.
"Mom and dad, we can't support Yuanxiao forever. Yuanxiao... also has to work hard and make progress. In the future, mother will still have to rely on you." Mrs. Xu said softly, her eyes a little dazed.
"Dad loves my mother very much, and she and she are a well-known loving couple in the capital. Who doesn't envy my mother in this capital? Can my mother rely on my father?" Lu Yuanxiao said deliberately.
Xu touched his face and swayed slightly.
"Dad..." Mrs. Xu remained silent.
Lu Yuanxiao pursed her lips, feeling slightly uneasy.
After admitting my mistake, I ate with my mother and then secretly inquired around Tingfeng Garden.
I was shocked.
It was two months since my mother gave birth to Chaochao, but my father never stayed in the hospital even once. Even when his grandfather's house was confiscated, he never returned home.
His heart felt numb.
In his memory, his father was strict but loved his children, and his parents were harmonious and had a great relationship. There is not even an aunt in the house. Back then, a maid wanted to climb into the bed, and the father was furious and sold the maid directly.
The mother was moved to tears.
Over the years, my father has been considerate and considerate, and my mother is willing to run the house for him.
There is no one in Beijing who would not praise his father as a dedicated and good man.
But now, when he suddenly learned that his father was raising a wife and even having children, he felt a chill all over his body.
In the past, the bookboy coaxed him to skip school, coaxed him to insult his master, and coaxed him to gamble. Now, he only feels fear.
He is the mother's right and left arm. If he is cut off and cannot be the mother's support, how will the mother live?
That night.
Lu Yuanxiao took out the Four Books and Five Classics that had accumulated dust and sat in front of the window to study them carefully.
