Chapter 303 Abandoned
"I was forced to do this!" Wu Xingyu gasped and defended, "When I was in Hong Zheng Mansion, He Yanxiu fed me poison. If I didn't get the antidote when the time was up, I would die from the poison. I had to do this to get the antidote."
"I told my elder brother about this matter after I returned to Beijing. You should know my difficulties. I don't want to be with He Yanxiu!"
"Hardship?" Wu Xingchen curled his lips, "There is no hardship at all, it's just incompetence!"
He was so incompetent that he was played around by that brat He Yanxiu, so incompetent that he sang praises for his enemies in order to save his life, and so incompetent that the whole court laughed at the Wu family for their poor discipline! When Wu Xingchen thought of the scolding he received from his uncle and cousin, he flew into a rage and vented all his grievances on Wu Xingyu.
"You really think your life is precious. You don't even think about the fact that you were just a slave's child, extremely lowly. The fact that you were included in the Wu family's genealogy and can now serve as an official and enjoy glory is all because of the kindness of our Wu family!"
Wu Xingchen shouted, "If you were doing your job for the Wu family, it would be fine. But now that you've caused such a mess, how can the Wu family tolerate you!"
"Come here, throw An's ranking out of the ancestral hall, beat up this ignorant fellow, and throw him out of the city!"
An is Wu Xingyu's biological mother.
Wu Xingyu went a little crazy when he heard that. The veins on his forehead popped out. He struggled to get in front of Wu Xingchen and kowtowed several times. "Brother, I know I was wrong. Please don't take out my aunt's tablet. I will do my best in the future."
"Make more money to honor the Wu family!"
Wu Xingyu is very clear about his position.
Why did the Wu family push him to that position, and what does he need to do to consolidate his position and dignity in the Wu family.
Wu Xingchen glanced at Wu Xingyu who was kneeling in front of him again, kicked him to the ground, and then spat, "Earn more money to honor the Wu family?"
"You deserve it?"
"Do you really think you are of much use to the Wu family? In the end, you are just a dog raised by the Wu family. When you are useful, they give you a bone. When you are useless, they beat you to death!"
"My uncle and my eldest cousin have submitted a memorial accusing you of dereliction of duty. The emperor has approved your dismissal from the position of Langzhong of the Ministry of Works and will replace you with Wu Xingyuan."
"The Wu family has no shortage of people, especially people like you."
What? Wu Xingyu's face turned pale.
“There are countless illegitimate descendants who want to honor the Wu family. If you can’t do it well, others will naturally take your place!” Wu Xingchen raised his hand, “Give this ignorant fellow fifty strokes of the cane and throw him out on the street. This will also let the other illegitimate descendants see what happens when they eat and ruin the pot!”
"What about An's tablet?" the servant asked, "was it thrown on the street as well?"
Thrown on the street?
That would be too good of a bargain for Wu Xingyu and her vixen bitch, who gave birth to a mother.
"Chop it up and burn it."
Wu Xingchen's light words struck Wu Xingyu as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue, and he clenched his fists.
His biological mother was an aunt.
But even such an identity was still obtained through untold hardships.
The Wu family’s backyard is very large, with many concubines and quite a few maids.
Aunt An was one of the maids. Like other maids, in addition to serving as a bed warmer, she also had to do a lot of chores. And because the Wu family's backyard was complicated and the mistress was strict, she suffered a lot of difficulties.
Ever since he could remember, Wu Xingyu had seen too much suffering and humiliation suffered by Aunt An. It was because of this that he knew what kind of chess piece the Wu family wanted in him, and he tried hard to please them and become what the Wu family wanted.
He is arrogant, domineering, and has a bad temper, and has all the bad habits of a child from a wealthy family, which makes the Wu family feel that he is very easy to control. However, he also does not forget to perform his duties and uses all means to help the Wu family make enough money.
It was also because of his actions that An was successfully able to break away from the status of a maid and become a legitimate concubine. Her body was buried in the Wu family's ancestral tomb and she was ranked in the Wu family's ancestral hall, which gave her a certain status.
But now…
Because he wanted to save his own life, he was not accepted by the Wu family and they could not wait to get rid of him.
He thought that after working diligently for the Wu family for many years, he could at least get rid of his status as a pawn, but now, it was obvious that it was not possible at all, and it would never be possible in his lifetime.
Wu Xingyu felt a little desperate, and this despair gathered in his heart and gradually turned into anger, rising from the bottom of his heart and slowly surging up.
Enduring the pain of broken ribs after being kicked just now, Wu Xingyu roared and rushed towards Wu Xingchen...
…
"Sir, how should we deal with this?"
Looking at Wu Xingyu, who was now covered in wounds and dying, the people below asked timidly.
Wu Xingchen spat out a mouthful of blood foam from the punch from Wu Xingyu, "Remove your name from the family tree and throw them into the mass grave!"
The Wu family has never defeated such a stupid descendant! "Yes." Several servants carried Wu Xingyu out and dealt with him according to Wu Xingchen's instructions.
Blood dripped from Wu Xingyu's body, dripping all the way...
Seeing that Wu Xingchen had a wound on his cheek, a servant brought a hot towel and ointment to apply heat and wipe it.
"My Lord." Butler Zhang came closer, "I have something to ask of you, my Lord."
"What's the matter!" Wu Xingchen's cheek was swollen and uncomfortable because of the punch. The thought that he was hurt by that loser made him more and more angry, and his tone was quite impatient.
Butler Zhang became more cautious and bent his waist even lower. "It's not a big deal. It's just that the two brothers of the Hu family from Juweizhai came to us and asked to find their previous cook. But the cook settled down in Qinghe and has a new employer. They wanted me to help deal with it."
"The Hu brothers said that if our Wu family is willing to help with this matter, half of the profits from Juweizhai's revival in the future will be donated to our Wu family."
"I didn't want to take on this matter, but I was the boss of Juweizhai before, and the two brothers gave quite a lot of gifts before. I was also thinking about the fact that the eldest master had a few more places to spend money, so I wanted to ask the eldest master what he thought."
The Wu family wants to seize power and support Qin Peiyuan to take the position. Money is spent like water, and it is always good to have one more way to make money.
Wu Xingchen covered his red and swollen cheek and frowned, "Why are you asking me about such a small matter? Just handle it as you see fit."
That means I agree.
Butler Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, I understand. I will deal with it right away."
Wu Xingchen called out to Butler Zhang who was retreating, "Wait!"
