Chapter 221 Left Alone at Home
Tu Suminfei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but did not say a word. The old lady's eyes widened, and she was furious: "What nonsense are you saying to a child?!"
"Is there anyone who educates children like you?!"
"You wish they could become estranged, yet you're deliberately trying to sow discord here!"
"Am I causing trouble on purpose?"
Yu Shi refused to give in. She cast a glaring glare at the gloomy Tu Suye and said in a cold tone, "Old Madam, you want to support your son, but I can't sit idly by and watch my son suffer injustice!"
"I'm making this clear right here today. If anyone dares to touch my son again, I'll fight that shameless person to the death, even with a sharp blade in hand!"
"If I kill someone for this, I will naturally go to the authorities and confess my crime myself, but as long as I am still breathing, I will never allow anyone to harm my son in the slightest!"
“Women may be weak, but they are strong when they become mothers.”
Yu, who had always been cautious in front of the old lady, erupted like a volcano at this moment, shocking the old lady so much that she stood there speechless.
Yu suppressed her inner anger and didn't want to waste any more words. She pulled Tu Sumin aside and gave him some detailed instructions.
Tu Suminfei patiently agreed. The sound of wheels rolling came to his ears. He lowered his eyes and said softly, "Father, let's go."
Tu Suye was reluctant and struggled, but was met with a warning look from the old lady.
The old lady whispered in a serious tone, "Grandfather has already said such cruel words. There is no way we can tolerate you anymore! Do you really want to have your legs broken and be supported by others at home from now on?!"
"When has ever there been a word of nonsense from Grandfather?!"
Such a warning may not be scary to others, but for the old grandfather, even if the old lady felt extremely disgusted, she would not dare to refute it easily.
She quietly held Tu Suye's cold hand tightly and whispered comfortingly: "You can leave with peace of mind first. I will find a way to bring you back soon."
"By then, who else can pose a threat to you?"
The old lady had been repeating these words to Tu Suye over and over again in recent days. No one knew how much he had listened to, but at least Tu Suye had not openly resisted again.
Although everyone could see that every step he took at this moment was full of helplessness and unwillingness.
The old lady tried her best to comfort him, then turned to look at Tu Su Minfei, with a hint of helplessness and sadness in her eyes.
In the deep courtyard of the Tusu Mansion, the old lady looked at Tusu Minfei and said earnestly, "Minfei, your father may have acted rashly and impulsively, but we are blood relatives after all. How can we let misunderstandings breed resentment between father and son? A son should not blame his father for his mistakes. Do you really want to hold those past misunderstandings to heart?"
Tu Su Min Fei smiled faintly but said nothing. The old lady continued to persuade him earnestly, "You know your father's character very well. He has loved you dearly since you were a child. How could he have the heart to use violence against you? Besides, between father and son, what misunderstanding can't be resolved?"
"You must take good care of your father during this trip. You must not allow those deceptive slanders to destroy the harmony between you two. Do you understand?"
The old lady felt that she had been sincere in her teachings to Tu Suminfei. Tu Suminfei only took a small step back after hearing this, a barely perceptible smile on his face, and said softly, "Grandmother's teachings, your grandson will remember them in his heart."
The old lady looked at him with complicated eyes. After a moment's hesitation, she turned to the gloomy Tu Suye and said in a serious tone, "I have remembered all the advice I gave you. If you cause trouble again, no one will be able to protect you from the wind and rain!"
Tu Suye's expression became increasingly gloomy. His face twisted, but he still couldn't utter a word.
What can he say?
What else can I say?
He confessed all his experiences and humiliations, and every word was true without exaggeration, but no one believed him!
No one believed him at all!
It would be fine if no one believed him, but his grandfather's threat was still vivid in his mind. If he stayed in the mansion, he would only be disabled and mute, while if he went out, he would still have a chance of survival. Naturally, he chose the latter!
Watching Tu Suye leave silently with a wave of his sleeves, Tu Su Minfei flashed a barely perceptible sneer at the corner of his lips, and then followed closely behind.
The carriage and horses that had been waiting for a long time quickly disappeared on the snow-covered road under Tu Su Minfei's arrangement.
When the old lady saw Yu who disagreed with her, she was filled with anger and turned back into the house without thinking.
Seeing this, Yu curled her lips slightly, clapped her hands, and continued her embroidery.
At the same time, in the stable of Tu Su Mansion.
Gu Yuexuan looked at Tu Subo with surprise and asked in confusion, "Are you saying you're planning a long journey?"
There is nothing else to do today, and it would be cold to just sit there.
Tu Subo simply moved the charcoal brazier to the bedside, pulled Gu Yuexuan over to sit on the bed, and the two of them wrapped themselves in quilts and had a long talk.
He sat across from Gu Yuexuan, pondering carefully for a long time before finally speaking the words he had carefully considered for days. "I did have this thought. I made a friend who was a merchant in my early years, but as time passed, our contact gradually drifted apart. However, we recently reconnected, and I intend to follow him to explore a new path forward."
Gu Yuexuan frowned slightly and asked with some doubt: "Since we haven't been in touch for many years, why did you suddenly get in touch again? Does that friend know about the changes in the Tu Su family?"
Those who knew about the turmoil in the Tu Su family all avoided it for fear that they would be affected. Isn't this person afraid of being implicated?
Tu Subo couldn't help but laugh out loud: "He knows."
"These details are not important. The key is, do you agree with me taking this journey?"
Gu Yuexuan was a little stunned by the question. She gently pulled the warm quilt tighter around her body and blinked in confusion: "Are you asking for my opinion? Do you agree with your trip?"
"That's right. Since I'm planning to travel far away, I naturally need your approval."
Tu Subo smiled softly, took Gu Yuexuan's hand, which was exposed outside the quilt, and said gently, "If all goes well, I will be able to return in three months at most. Grandfather is currently in charge of the family affairs, and the two aunts get along well with you, so I don't expect any setbacks. But while I'm away, you will be left alone at home. Will you feel lonely or scared?"
Gu Yuexuan keenly caught a clue and asked with a frown, "When did you first think of going out?"
Tu Subo smiled teasingly: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"Nothing, just a casual question."
Gu Yuexuan tugged at a corner of the quilt nervously and said lazily, "You haven't just come up with this idea recently, have you?"
If it was really a spur-of-the-moment idea, there wouldn't have been such a series of detailed preparations.
Before she got along well with Tu Su's family, Tu Subo never showed any signs of leaving home.
Is he worried that she will be bullied at home?
Tu Subo was once again amused by her sharpness. He played with her fingers nonchalantly and whispered, "Then guess why I've delayed telling you this until now?"
"Ah? Xuanxuan?"
