Chapter 57 Leaving the clan and changing surname
"Ouyang Feilian, don't make yourself sound so filial. If you really are filial, why don't you start clearing the wasteland yourself instead of just sitting there doing nothing?"
"Tsk! Big brother, her body is so fragile that it can be lost in the wind. Don't start clearing the land or you'll be lost."
As soon as Ouyang Mingxu finished speaking, a crisp voice rang out: "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about?"
When they looked back, they saw Xiao Feiluo standing with Ouyang Feishi. She smiled slightly, then turned to look at her father Ouyang Jin: "Dad, is our surname really Lian?"
Seeing the hope in his daughter's eyes, Ouyang Jin smiled and said, "Yes, the surname is Lian, following our Luo'er's grandmother's surname, okay?"
Little Philo nodded his little head and said, "Luo'er listens to mom and dad."
"good."
Watching this heartwarming scene, Ouyang Feilian was so jealous that her eyes almost popped out of her head. She clenched her fists, looked at Ouyang Feiluo with angry eyes, and yelled hysterically: "You are just a little bitch, why do you deserve the love of the whole family!"
Hearing this, Xiao Feiluo looked at Ouyang Feilian with a stern face and said word by word: "Who are you talking about, little bitch?"
"I'm talking to you, little bitch. Why don't you have any self-awareness? You're just asking for trouble."
Ouyang Feiluo snorted, looked at Ouyang Feilian with cold eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and said, "I've seen people scolding others, but I've never seen people scolding themselves. This is really an eye-opener."
"you…"
As soon as she said the word "you", Ouyang Feilian came to her senses and glared at Xiao Feiluo with a red face.
If looks could kill, Ouyang Feiluo would have died countless times by now.
But this Philo was not that Philo, and he glared back. Ouyang Feilian was so angry that her hand, which she raised to point at little Philo, was shaking.
Seeing her precious granddaughter getting angry, the old woman Chen Yanhua jumped out again, pointing at Ouyang Feiluo and scolding: "You uneducated thing, you actually dare to make your cousin angry, you are like your mother, like your son."
Ouyang Feiluo blinked when he heard it, touched his chin, looked at Chen Yanhua coldly and said: "Hey, old witch, you are getting ahead of me. No matter how bad I am, I am still better than you, an old witch."
"Not only do my parents love me, but I'm also doted on by my brothers. You're jealous, of course. You're leaving the capital at your age, and no one is here to see you off. It's really pitiful. But, I just don't feel sorry for you!"
Ouyang Jin didn't want to say anything bad about his daughter, so he came to Ouyang Feiluo, raised his hand to ruffle her hair, and whispered, "My daughter, there must be something hateful about pitiful people! Let Dad handle this matter, you go and accompany your mother."
“Okay…”
Seeing her father's serious expression, Ouyang Feiluo responded with a smile, then slowly walked to her mother, took her mother's hand and asked softly: "Mother, will Lord Ouyang agree this time?"
Ouyang Feiluo's words were exactly what Xu Yuzhu was worried about. Their second branch had proposed to separate more than once, but each time they were suppressed by their father-in-law Ouyang Hong. It was not known whether they could completely separate this time.
Xu Yuzhu wasn't afraid of working so hard for the first wife, but she was afraid her own children would be enslaved by that white-eyed wolf. Furthermore, she remembered that after Luo'er was born, her husband's nanny had given her a jade pendant.
This time, when she asked her wet nurse to leave with the maids and servants from her family, she specifically told the maids to take good care of her. Seeing that she was determined to do so, the wet nurse told her...
"Young Madam, please take a good look at the jade pendant on the young lady's neck. It is something that the old lady always wears."
"It was originally hung around the young master's neck. When I returned to the Ouyang Mansion, I was afraid someone might see it and harbor evil intentions, so I put it away. Madam, you must take good care of it. The young lady's face is the most like the old lady's..."
Looking down at the rope around her daughter's neck, Xu suddenly remembered the nurse's words, and then thought of what Chen Yanhua and the other person had been looking for...
An idea arose in Xu's mind, and she immediately shuddered. She looked at her daughter again, and then decided that she must immediately draw a clear line between herself and Chen Yanhua and the first wife.
So, he bent down, picked up little Philo, and whispered in her ear, "Luo'er, hide the jade pendant around your neck. It belonged to your grandmother. The old witch you mentioned has been looking for your grandmother's belongings."
Hearing this, little Philo looked at her mother with her mouth slightly opened, and whispered: "Mom, you don't mean to say that this is what the old witch is looking for, right?"
"Maybe. The nanny who takes care of you said this was something your grandmother always wore. It was originally around your father's neck, but they took it away because they thought it was unsafe, and then gave it to you."
After hearing what her mother said, Ouyang Feiluo's eyes rolled and she nodded in agreement: "Mammy, your worries are justified. Judging from the way that old witch wants to put everything in her pocket, this jade pendant cannot be exposed."
"My daughter is smart."
Hearing this, little Philo raised his head proudly and said, "Of course not."
Although the mother and daughter were talking, they were also paying attention to what was happening on Ouyang Jin's side.
Ouyang Jin was now significantly different from before. He was filled with a cold aura, and stared at Chen Yanhua with icy eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Old Madam Ouyang, you'd better stop while you're ahead. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't resort to some other tricks..."
"I'm sure the old lady hasn't forgotten how you caused my mother to die of hemorrhage during childbirth. It doesn't matter if you've forgotten. I, Lian Jing, can help you recall..."
Looking at Ouyang Jin, who changed her name to Lian Jing, Chen Yanhua, who had been the mistress of the Ouyang family for decades, was shocked. Although she was not sure how much the person in front of her knew, she felt guilty.
She was a little scared and didn't dare to gamble.
At this moment, Li Zi, who had been listening for a while, said, "Hey, what are you doing?"
Hearing Li Zi's voice, Lian Jing, who had already changed his name, quickly turned around and bowed, saying, "I, Lian Jing, beg the steward to bear witness. From this day forward, I and my family will leave the Ouyang family, change our surname to Lian, and form a separate lineage."
"Leaving the clan, changing the surname and forming a new lineage"
Li Zi didn't expect that he would hear a thunderclap just when he got the information about Ouyang's family.
Looking at Ouyang Jin again, and then at Ouyang Hong, whose eyes were somewhat complicated, Li Zi stroked the few hairs on his chin, thought for a moment, and then said: "I can be a witness, but I don't know if Lord Ouyang agrees."
"Agree, agree, we agree."
This voice, which was anxious and a little guilty, came from Chen Yanhua.
Li Zi looked meaningfully at Ouyang Hong who nodded in agreement. When he opened his mouth to speak, he heard the voice of Ouyang Qin, the third son of the Ouyang family.
"Wait a moment."
