Chapter 67 "Guard Chu...kneeling in the yard..."
The old lady didn't expect that General Luo would actually dare to say such a thing!
I stood there in a daze for a moment.
Xie Zhiqiu even knelt down and took a few steps to block the old general's way.
Speak sincerely.
"Father-in-law, father-in-law, please calm down! That's not what my mother meant..."
"Step aside!"
"Father-in-law!"
General Luo had his legs hugged by Xie Zhiqiu, but he still refused to let go.
"I said, I can't let my good grandson's reputation be dragged down by a sister like this! Not even my cousin!"
He glanced at Xie Zhichun, who was standing aside and already looked like a fool.
A low chuckle.
"Go away!"
Xie Zhiqiu hugged General Luo's legs tightly and begged.
"Father-in-law! They are the bloodline that Jinyu risked her life to leave for me!
My father-in-law...they are my life!"
Xie Tingzhou couldn't stand it anymore, so he took a step forward and knelt behind Xie Zhiqiu.
Speak for him.
"Don't worry, grandpa. Why don't you wait and see how father handles it?"
Seeing that General Luo's attitude seemed to soften, Xie Zhiqiu nodded hurriedly.
"Yes! Father-in-law, I will take care of it. Please take a seat first!"
General Luo snorted and sat down for Xie Tingzhou's sake.
Xie Zhiqiu stood up, not even bothering to brush the dirt off his knees, and turned to Xie Zhichun.
He clenched his fists and made up his mind.
"Brother, if you insist on marrying both of your daughters to the Marquis's Mansion as concubines...
Then I can only give up my brotherly relationship with you for the sake of my children!"
Hearing this, the old lady stood up immediately, tapping her cane.
"Xie Zhiqiu! Do you know what you are saying?"
Xie Zhiqiu clenched his fists.
Over the years, he has done many wrong things in order to win his mother's favor.
So much so that, over the past decade...
Every day is spent in guilt and longing for Jinyu...
After she left, he never dared to enter the main courtyard where he had lived with her!
Now, he doesn't want to go on like this anymore.
He is a son, but at the same time, he is also a father!
He has already let Jinyu down, and he can't treat their child unfairly anymore!
"Mother, you heard it right. If you also support my eldest brother...
I am willing to move out with my two children, and leave this house and property to you for your old age.
Just pretend that you have never given birth to my son!"
"you!"
The old lady was so angry that she raised her walking stick.
It can be seen that he stood very straight, and it didn't fall on his head after all.
Just crying:
"Xie Zhiqiu, how can I live like this? You are forcing me to die..."
Xie Zhichun never expected that his younger brother would break off relations with him!
Haven't I been helping him clean up the mess all these years?
Why this time...
He took a step forward in surprise and pulled Xie Zhiqiu's arm.
"Xie Zhiqiu, say it again!"
Xie Zhiqiu looked straight at him and repeated word by word.
"If you insist on doing this, I will break up with you..."
Before he could finish his words, Xie Zhichun raised his fist and punched him in the eye socket.
He beat Xie Zhiqiu so hard that he saw stars.
Xie Tingzhou was startled and quickly stood up and pressed Xie Zhichun, who was about to throw a punch, onto the table.
"Uncle! You passed!"
Xie Zhichun couldn't struggle free and turned back to call for his mother.
"Mother! Say something! Look at your good son! He let his son hit me!"
The old lady was also confused, holding her crutches, not knowing who to help.
"Tingzhou! Tingzhou, that's your uncle..."
Xie Qinghuan was furious. He supported the dizzy Xie Zhiqiu and ordered him to leave.
"Someone, come here! Throw Xie Zhichun and his two daughters out! From now on, the Xiangfu will have nothing to do with his family!"
The old lady became anxious when she heard this.
He walked forward waving his cane.
"Who dares? Let's see who dares."
The servants looked at each other.
They all looked at Xie Zhiqiu.
Seeing this, Xie Zhiqiu covered his eyes and shouted angrily:
"Didn't you hear the young lady's instructions? Throw it out!"
He looked back at the biased old lady.
"If mother can't bear to leave, she can go with him!"
The old lady stood there in astonishment, not daring to move forward.
He just opened his mouth wide, wanting to cry but without tears.
Seeing Xie Zhichun being dragged away by the guards, he sat back in the chair and cried.
Xie Zhiqiu ignored him and turned around to kowtow to General Luo.
"Father-in-law."
General Luo snorted and said in a deep voice:
"He relied on your power to oppress the people and plunder gold and silver. You should have cut off all ties with him long ago!"
"My father-in-law taught me..."
General Luo rolled his eyes at him and grabbed Xie Qinghuan's hand.
His face changes and he smiles.
"Qinghuan, do you want to stay at the general's mansion with your grandfather for a few days?"
Seeing Xie Zhiqiu looking at her nervously, Xie Qinghuan shook her head obediently.
"Not these days... Let's go another day. My brother and I will come to see you another day!"
General Luo felt a little disappointed and patted her hand.
"Well, remember to go see Grandpa!"
"it is good!"
Only then did Xie Zhiqiu breathe a sigh of relief.
After seeing General Luo off, he locked himself in his bedroom.
I don't want to listen to the old lady's nagging.
Xie Qinghuan saw General Luo off, and took the opportunity to give Luo Sanqian a prescription.
"It's for the legs!"
Luo Sanqian was suspicious.
"Don't you need to take my pulse?"
Xie Qinghuan smiled slyly and pretended to be mysterious.
"My medical skills have reached perfection. I don't need to feel the pulse. I can tell by just looking at it!"
Luo Sanqian raised his eyebrows and took the prescription doubtfully.
He was carried into the carriage and followed General Luo back.
Xie Qinghuan stretched lazily and looked at the sky.
He took Chu Hanxiao back to the yard.
"What a wonderful day! I am almost dying of exhaustion..."
I didn't even have time to eat dinner and fell asleep.
He slept until dawn.
I woke up in a daze the next day, but didn't see Chu Hanxiao.
"Chu Hanxiao?"
In the past, he always stood guard at the door and would come in when called...
Yuzhu entered with an evasive look in her eyes.
"Miss……"
"Where is Chu Hanxiao?"
"Guard Chu...kneel in the yard as punishment..."
"what?"
Xie Qinghuan immediately perked up.
Deng sat up.
"Who punished you? How long have you been kneeling?"
"Master, since...last night..."
Xie Qinghuan became furious and pushed her away.
"why did not you tell me?"
Yuzhu knelt down in fear.
Before I could explain, I saw her get down barefoot and run out the door.
She hurriedly picked up her shoes and followed.
"Miss! Be careful not to catch a cold!"
Xie Qinghuan had no time to care about so many things.
I couldn’t understand why my brother suddenly punished Chu Hanxiao?
She ran out of the bedroom and saw Chu Hanxiao kneeling in the yard from a distance.
With his head lowered and his eyelashes drooping.
The body swayed slightly.
The servants who were sweeping the surroundings didn't dare to look up or step forward.
She ran over and threw herself on him.
"Chu Hanxiao!"
Yuzhu followed and sent the servants away with a look.
He knelt on one side holding his shoes.
Chu Hanxiao frowned slightly when he saw that she was only wearing her underwear.
【Isn’t it cold? 】
Xie Qinghuan didn't care about this at all and wanted to help him up.
"I'll help you up!"
But I couldn't pull him.
Chu Hanxiao shook a little and felt that his knees had grown into the stone slab.
It’s fine if you don’t move, but once you move…
It was like having my roots pulled out, and the pain was piercing.
He supported himself on the ground with both hands and took a moment to relax.
Only then did I see that she wasn't even wearing shoes.
The white and tender little feet were rubbed red on the ground.
He clicked his tongue and looked up in reproach.
He leaned over, took the shoes from Yuzhu's hand, and lifted her feet.
Carefully brushed away the dirt on the soles of her feet and helped her put on her shoes.
