Chapter 6: Are you bullying me because there is no one in the Xiao family?
"People, it's better not to do anything that would make you feel guilty." Xiao Jiuyue replied casually, thinking, is this really a coincidence?
In the evening, there was another commotion in the second room.
"Miss, Miss, the Second Madam is making a scene in Songxiang Courtyard with the divorce letter." Lianxin trotted over. Xiao Jiuyue stood up and walked quickly towards Songxiang Courtyard, asking, "Second Uncle has been locked up, where did she get the divorce letter?"
"The Second Madam found it in the Second Master's room when she was packing up her things." Lianxin quickly explained the whole story.
Pine Fragrance Courtyard.
Before entering the Songxiang Courtyard, I heard Aunt Xiao's wailing and cursing: "Mother, I can't live like this for even a day. I gave birth to children for the Second Master, and yet he wants to divorce me."
"Mother, since the Second Master has even written the divorce letter, why not just fulfill his wish?" Second Aunt Xiao said while crying. She didn't find the private money, but she did find the divorce letter from the Second Master. Second Aunt Xiao wanted to leave the Xiao family. Her future life would definitely be better than now.
"Cough..." Old Madam Xiao was already feeling unwell, and now after listening to Second Aunt Xiao's words, she felt even more headache and uncomfortable.
"Mother Jiang, bring grandma's medicine." Xiao Jiuyue passed by Second Aunt Xiao and quickly supported Old Madam Xiao. Looking at the white hair on her temples, she felt distressed.
"Mother." As Second Aunt Xiao opened her mouth to speak, Xiao Jiuyue turned her head and interrupted, "Grandmother is not feeling well. If Second Aunt really wants to leave, there's no need to rush!"
"The medicine is here."
Mother Jiang brought over the freshly boiled medicine soup. Xiao Jiuyue took it and fed it into Old Madam Xiao's mouth bit by bit. Seeing that Old Madam Xiao gradually calmed down, she said, "Grandma is not in good health. Let me handle this matter as your granddaughter."
Madam Xiao sighed and said, "Jiuyue, it's hard for you to worry about these things."
Among the children, the second one is the most affectionate. If it weren't for her suppression, there would be more than just one concubine in the second one's room.
"Second Aunt, have you really decided to leave the Xiao family?" Xiao Jiuyue asked doubtfully, as if chatting casually. "It's already the fourth day since the house was raided. Everyone in Shengjing who should know has heard about it. Have any of Second Aunt's family members been here?"
Xiao Jiuyue's light words struck Aunt Xiao's heart directly.
"Treachery, ingratitude, when disaster strikes, everyone flees." Every time Xiao Jiuyue said a word, Second Aunt Xiao's face grew uglier. She seemed not to notice. She asked in confusion, "Second Aunt, is it really better for you to go back to your parents' home than to stay in the Xiao family?"
Aunt Xiao fell to the ground weakly. She didn't sleep the whole night yesterday. Hongdu is so far away. Can she get there alive?
The moment she found the divorce letter today, Second Aunt Xiao really felt like the sky had fallen. This is when she came to Old Madam Xiao. She looked down at the divorce letter, her wavering heart, and her eyes slowly became firm: "I want to leave."
"If Second Aunt leaves, Yurong will have to follow us. If Second Aunt regrets it in the future and wants to come back, it won't be possible." Xiao Jiuyue said in a deep voice. Since he couldn't keep her, he had to prevent all future troubles.
"Mom, if you really want to leave, I will die here." Xiao Yurong's eyes were filled with tears, and her humble eyes seemed to be begging: Don't leave me.
"Yurong, don't push me. I'll be able to help you when I have a good life in the future." Aunt Xiao's words of comfort made Xiao Yurong's face turn pale. She shook her head in disbelief and stumbled back. She looked at Aunt Xiao, her voice full of despair: "Mother, even if I die, I can't leave you behind, right?"
Xiao Yurong's last words were as light as a feather floating in the sky.
Second Aunt Xiao was silent for a while before she said, "Yurong, the Xiao family will support you."
Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes like a broken dam. Xiao Yurong lowered her eyes, suppressed the despair in her heart, and rushed towards the pillar.
Xiao Jiuyue took a quick step forward and grabbed Xiao Yurong, who was about to hit her head against the pillar.
"Yurong, why are you so stupid?" Second Aunt Xiao was frightened by Xiao Yurong's behavior. She never expected that she would be so stupid!
Xiao Yurong shook her hand off and said coldly, "My father has been exiled, and you're leaving, mother. I'm left alone. What else can I do except die?"
"I, I have no choice." Aunt Xiao started crying again about her difficulties.
Xiao Jiuyue held Xiao Yurong's shoulders, looked at Second Aunt Xiao and asked, "Second Aunt, are you still leaving?"
"I..." Second Aunt Xiao didn't dare look at Xiao Jiuyue, let alone Xiao Yurong. She lowered her head and threw herself in front of Old Madam Xiao, crying, "Mother, I'll leave Yurong to you."
After saying this, Second Aunt Xiao ran away with the divorce letter.
Xiao Yurong watched her leave quickly in a daze. Her heart felt like it was being torn apart piece by piece. She covered her chest in so much pain that she couldn't even cry.
"Yurong, you are not alone." Xiao Jiuyue patted her back and said, "You still have your grandmother and the Xiao family. Things will get better in the future."
"Woo woo~" Xiao Yurong hugged Xiao Jiuyue, and started from suppressing her tears to crying loudly.
After Xiao Jiuyue comforted Xiao Yurong, she said, "Grandma is not in good health. I'll trouble you, Yurong, to take care of her."
"Sister, I will." Xiao Yurong had finished crying and her mood had calmed down a lot.
Xiao Jiuyue left Songxiang Courtyard and went directly to the courtyard of the second house with Lianxin. Aunt Xiao was packing her things. The courtyard was filled with her scolding: "Shanglan, you bitch, I tell you, even if I leave, you will still be a concubine."
"A lowly merchant girl like you is worthy of the gift given by the Second Master?" Second Aunt Xiao looked at the bracelet on Shang Lan's wrist and snatched it away.
"Don't steal my aunt's things." The six or seven-year-old boy tried his best to protect his mother. Unfortunately, Second Aunt Xiao pushed the boy away and successfully pulled off the jade bracelet on Shang Lan's wrist.
"Aunt." The boy hugged Shang Lan and cried.
"Jiachen, don't be afraid, your aunt is fine." Shang Lan hugged her son tightly, fearing that Second Aunt Xiao would hit her son.
"Why shouldn't your son be exiled?" Second Aunt Xiao put the bracelet on her wrist and stared at Xiao Jiachen with cold eyes, thinking of her Jiaen, who was less than eleven years old.
"You're disrespectful to your stepmother, you deserve a beating." Second Aunt Xiao said to the maid beside her: "Fifty slaps on the face!"
"Madam, Jiachen is only six years old this year." Shang Lan protected her son behind her. She knelt down and pleaded, "Jiachen, please apologize to Madam."
"I'm not wrong. It was you who stole my aunt's things." Xiao Jiachen pursed his lips. Even if he was going to be beaten, he would stubbornly refuse to admit his mistake.
The old woman stepped forward, pushed Shang Lan down, and raised her hand high to slap Xiao Jiachen.
"Second Aunt, you're so arrogant!" Xiao Jiuyue stepped forward and kicked the old woman to the ground. She looked at Second Aunt Xiao with sharp eyes and said, "No, if you get the divorce letter, you are no longer a member of the Xiao family. Fan, you dare to hit a member of my Xiao family. Are you bullying me because there is no one in my family?"
