Chapter 31 Thoughts "Ashu is wrong, it's not 'Xie family'...

"Let's report to the authorities. Who's afraid of who? We drugged Pei Yixue, but what about the fact that Xie Yushu drugged my father and mother?" Xie Heyun's voice echoed in the room, and the other members of the Xie family were not panicked at all.

Grandmother Xie sat on a rattan chair in the corner of the room, her eyes moving among the crowd, finally looking at Xie Yushu.

After receiving the gaze from Grandmother Xie, Xie Yushu paused and then lowered his head.

Grandmother Xie sighed deeply and spoke tremblingly, "Xiaoxue, it's all Grandmother's fault. Grandmother thought Heyun was a good child and would be a good choice for you, but she didn't expect it to end up like this."

"Grandma." Pei Yixue's tone was gentle but distant. "After so long, you should know what I'm thinking."

"I, I know." Grandmother Xie said, looking at Xie Yushu, "It's just that Xiaoshu has no interest in you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Pei Yixue and the other people in the room shifted their gaze to Xie Yushu.

Xie Yushu glanced sideways, and suddenly met Pei Yixue's gaze. He quickly looked away, admitting that he really had no interest in him.

Seeing this, Grandmother Xie continued to say to Pei Yixue: "So, I thought it would be a good idea to match you with Heyun. Heyun told me that he doesn't mind your health. After you and Heyun are together, you can take care of each other, and we will become a real family."

Li's eyes were red with anger. "Well, my master has the final say. How dare you send such a piece of junk to my master! Oh, Xie Yushu is not interested in my master, but my master is interested in Xie Heyun? You make it sound like it's such an honor to be a family with you!"

"Who are you calling a loser?" Xie Heyun was filled with anger. "I have had so many men chasing after me since I was a child that I can't even count them all. And you picked this sick girl from your family?"

"You have no shortage of men, so why are you so eager to climb into my young master's bed?" Li put her hands on her hips and showed the same momentum as when she cursed in the street at Pei's house.

"Bah! If it weren't for the fact that he has a short life and a few stinky money, would I, Xie Heyun, look up to him?"

"Who do you say has a short life?" Li ran over and was about to fight. Although the aunt was mute, she stepped forward to protect her child without showing any weakness.

"Nurse." Pei Yixue called out to Li in time, "There's no need to argue. The government will handle this impartially."

Grandmother Xie said anxiously, "Xiaoxue, if this matter is really reported to the government, you will not be able to escape punishment for drugging the eldest brother and his wife. It is better for everyone to step aside and you can give the antidote to the eldest brother and forget about it."

The Xie family members were not sure, but Grandmother Xie could infer from the incident of the animal-drug that it would only be Pei Yixue who gave the drug, not Xie Yushu.

Hearing this, Xie Yushu looked at Pei Yixue with concern, but Pei Yixue acted as if it had nothing to do with her. "Grandma probably misunderstood me. I never drugged Uncle Xie and Aunt Xie, and Ah Shu never did that either."

No matter who comes to see, it can be seen that Aunt Xie and Uncle Xie's voices were damaged by shouting themselves. As for why they suddenly started shouting, even a god could not figure it out.

Xie Heyun angrily said: "Who else could it be if not you?!"

Pei Yixue: "The government will make the decision tomorrow."

"You...you...are you trying to bully my Xie family because we have no power, no one and no connections, and want to work behind the scenes with the government?" Xie Heyun's face was full of horror.

Pei Yixue was disdainful. He would never use such low-level methods. He would never leave any handle for others when doing things.

He didn't answer, so the Xie family thought he agreed and became anxious. Grandmother Xie said, "Xiaoxue, if the Xie family goes to court, it won't be good for Ah Shu. Ah Shu still has to take the imperial examination, you see..."

Xie Yushu was stunned for a moment and said to Pei Yixue, "Don't worry about me." Then he stood up and walked towards the door.

"Xie Yushu, do you still have any conscience? You just want to see our grandmother and us go to jail, right?" Xie Heyun stared at Xie Yushu's back and cursed angrily, but Xie Yushu did not stop for a moment and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Grandma, look, we asked you to go with us, but you insisted on staying to take care of this half-dead ungrateful bastard. If I had known, you should have let him die outside on his own." He turned to Grandma Xie and said with great resentment.

"Okay." Grandmother Xie scolded, and then she walked to Pei Yixue, with guilt: "Xiaoxue, I know your friendship with Xiaoshu. Xiaoshu's uncle and second uncle are also anxious for Heyun's lifelong event. They are not bad people."

"Grandma, I know what you want to say, but I can't back down on this matter." Pei Yixue politely declined to thank her grandmother for the next words.

"Hey! How about this?" Second Aunt had an idea, "Don't you like our Yushu? We'll give him to you, and this matter will be over."

“You evil creature, what nonsense are you talking about?!” Grandmother Xie was so angry that she wanted to go over and hit the man on the spot.

Second Aunt quickly hid behind First Aunt and cried, "Mother! Can you bear to see our eldest brother, sister-in-law and Yun being sent to the government office? After we go in, will we still have a way to survive?"

"You...you..." Grandmother Xie was furious, holding her chest and gasping for breath. But she kept saying "you" for a long time without saying a word of rebuttal.

Pei Yixue's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character, but he couldn't help but have the thought in his heart that "this method is feasible". If Grandmother Xie gave Xie Yushu to him, Xie Yushu would be his in the future and would have nothing to do with the Xie family. Grandmother Xie could no longer repay Xie Yushu with any favor.

It's a good deal.

He didn't say anything, but Chang Feng beside him couldn't sit still, "Ashu is not an object in your hands, what qualifications do you have to say that you want to give him to Pei Yixue?"

Pei Yixue glanced over when he heard this. Chang Feng was right. But if the Xie family said they wanted to give Xie Yushu to Chang Feng, he thought Chang Feng would definitely not ask this question.

"It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. His parents are both dead, so it's natural for us to have the final say on his marriage. Besides, if it weren't for his grandmother, he would have been reincarnated eight hundred times. What's the point of arranging a marriage for him?" Second aunt insisted on her own way.

Although Grandmother Xie was filled with reluctance, she still spoke: "Xiaoxue, what do you think...?"

She couldn't bear to leave Xie Yushu and the Xie family, so she was hesitating and gambling. She was gambling that Pei Yixue would definitely not be willing to go against Xie Yushu's wishes, and the matter of the Xie family could be solved smoothly.

Pei Yixue could probably guess what Grandmother Xie was thinking. He smiled defiantly and said, "I will take good care of Ah Shu."

Chang Feng grabbed his clothes and warned, "Pei Yixue, try to agree if you dare."

"What are you going to do? Let my young master go." Li immediately pulled Chang Feng out.

"Chang Feng, you've overstepped your bounds." Pei Yixue said slowly, "I will take good care of Ah Shu, and I can take good care of him, too."

If we bring Xie Yushu here and sever the relationship between Xie Yushu and the Xie family, Xie Yushu's future will be much easier.

Second Aunt heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Pei Yixue agreed. She hurried forward and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Pei Yixue: "But I have a condition."

He looked directly into Grandmother Xie's eyes and said in a firm and powerful voice: "Since you are going to give Ah Shu to me, I hope that the Xie family can completely sever their relationship with Ah Shu. From now on, he will be a member of my family and will have nothing to do with the Xie family anymore. After all, after what happened today, I can no longer accept living with you guys."

"It's like no one wants to live with you!" Xie Heyun was immediately annoyed when she heard this. With red eyes, she turned her head and said to Grandmother Xie: "He Xie Yushu doesn't want to care about our life or death. Let's break this relationship. We don't have such a person in our Xie family."

Grandmother Xie was still hesitating, and Pei Yixue told the Xie family that only if they agreed to this condition would he settle the matter privately, otherwise it would have to be a public matter.

After the Xie family’s persistent persuasion, Grandmother Xie finally nodded with tears in her eyes.

Soon, a neat letter of severance was placed in front of Pei Yixue, which clearly stated the Xie family's decision to sever ties with Xie Yushu in order to make amends and absolve themselves of their guilt.

After putting the letter of severance in his arms, Pei Yixue argued with Chang Feng for a long time before walking to the door of Xie Yu's study.

The door was wide open and the moonlight poured into the room, making it seem cold and deserted. In the moonlight, he did not see Xie Yushu's figure.

He turned around and scanned the empty courtyard, finally stopping on the half-open gate.

Stepping over the bluestone slabs in the courtyard, Pei Yixue walked out of the gate and turned left from the ancestral home, which was the direction of the pond where he had previously soaked.

There is a large meadow by the water's edge. When Xie Yushu had nothing to do, he would always sit on the grass and stare at the pond in a daze.

In the moonlight, the surface of the pond ripples, as if it were covered with broken silver.

The figure sitting on the grass was as broad and strong as ever, but seemed a little lonely in the hazy moonlight.

Pei Yixue felt a pain in his heart and quickened his pace.

Hearing the voice, Xie Yushu turned around and saw Pei Yixue stunned for a moment, then got up.

"You, why are you here?" Xie Yushu's voice was a little hoarse.

"Ah Shu is sad?" Pei Yixue walked to Xie Yushu and asked with an unusually sure tone, "Because of grandma?"

"How is the Xie family handling the situation?" Xie Yushu avoided answering and asked him instead.

Pei Yixue's fingers hidden under his sleeves couldn't help but curl up slightly. If he said that the Xie family gave Xie Yushu to him, Xie Yushu would definitely be even more sad.

But this is also a fact. It would be difficult for Xie Yushu to take the initiative to sever ties with the Xie family.

In this case, let him be the bad guy. Besides, the result is exactly what he wants, so he is happy with it.

Pei Yixue smiled, leaned close to Xie Yushu's face, and said softly: "Ashu is wrong, it's not 'Xie's side', it's 'Xie's side'."

"What?" Xie Yushu stepped back as usual, not understanding the meaning of his words for a moment.

Pei Yixue took out the letter of divorce from his bosom and handed it over. He pretended to be relaxed and joked, "Grandmother has agreed to let you be my wife."

Xie Yushu took the letter of severance, and his fingers couldn't help shaking slightly. He spread out the paper and lowered his head, reading the contents word by word. Every word was like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into his heart.

When he finished reading the last line and glanced at the five or six bright red fingerprints in the lower right corner, he could no longer suppress the grief in his heart, and the tears that had been accumulating in his eyes for a long time slid down his cheeks.

Pei Yixue sighed inwardly. Xie Yushu and Grandmother Xie have depended on each other for so many years, so their feelings must be fake.

He reached out his hand and touched the tear marks on Xie Yushu's cheek, and murmured softly as if talking to himself, his words filled with intense sadness.

"Ashu is crying. Doesn't he really want to be with me? Actually, you don't have to worry, Ashu. I won't force Ashu to do anything, but I will always be with Ashu. In my heart, Ashu will always be the most important."

Xie Yushu was startled for a moment, then raised his head, tears still hanging in the corners of his eyes: "No, it has nothing to do with you." He choked, trying to make his voice sound clearer: "It's just that I used to think that even if I had nothing, at least I would still have my grandmother, and I would still have a home."

Pei Yixue gently wiped away the tears from Xie Yushu's eyes, and "pretended" to be strong and said: "Who said that? There is also me. It's just that Ah Shu never counted me in, but it doesn't matter, as long as Ah Shu wants, I will always be there."

When people are feeling down, they are easily moved.

Xie Yushu stared straight at Pei Yixue, his eyes filled with strong and complex emotions, swirling wildly, almost overflowing uncontrollably.

Then Xie Yushu's hand hanging by his side involuntarily rose slowly, as if to touch his hand that was resting on the corner of his eye.

But in the end, Xie Yushu seemed to wake up from a dream, withdrew his hand, turned his back, and forbearingly uttered two words: "Thank you."

Pei Yixue forced a smile, "Ashu, don't be sad. People who are supposed to leave can't be kept, and some people won't leave, and you can't drive them away even if you drive them away."

He was just about to say "like me", then he took a half step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Xie Yushu, "Although this letter of severance has severed the relationship between the Xie family and you, it also gives you freedom, freedom without any constraints.

From now on, you no longer have to worry about whether you have Xie family blood in your body or who saved your life. You can do whatever you want based on your own heart.

As your family, I will always be there. No matter what Ah Shu does, I will support him and stay with him."
