Chapter 452: Driven Out
She naturally believed in Hu Ling's feelings for her. Hu Ling had already explained this to her, and she didn't take it to heart.
Unexpectedly, the Mi family’s weird things are so endless and one after another.
The turmoil over there has not yet subsided, and something new has happened here.
The housekeeper of the Mi family obviously didn't recognize Qu Yutao, and her eyes were full of doubt: "Excuse me, who are you?"
Qu Yutao sneered: "I am the wife of Hu Ling, you can call me Madam Hu Shao."
The Mi family's housekeeper suddenly realized what was going on, but her words became even more rude: "So it's Madam Hu, that's even better. Madam Hu wouldn't be so intolerant that she'd be called mean and unvirtuous, would she?"
Widow Qu flew into a rage, slamming the table and pointing at her, cursing, "What do you mean? Say one more word, and I'll beat you to death!"
Her precious daughter would not allow herself to be bullied by anyone.
This damn woman's words are so rude!
Widow Qu was particularly annoyed by these people in the capital. They were not likable at all and were far worse than those in Lingnan.
Far from being angry, the housekeeper showed a bit of pride on her face. She looked at Qu Yutao with a smile, "Mrs. Hu, isn't that right?"
Qu Yutao chuckled: "Who do you think you are?"
"Well--"
"Whether I am virtuous or not is not up to you, a servant of the Mi family, to decide! I don't care what you say."
Deng laughed and said, "That's right. This guy really can't get complacent. Once he gets complacent, he gets carried away and thinks everyone in the world has to give him face and listen to him!"
Widow Qu laughed: "You don't know what this means, it's ridiculous!"
No matter how thick-skinned the wife of the Mi family's housekeeper was, she couldn't stand being ridiculed and mocked so much that she blushed.
Xu Qianrong, who was filled with joy and shyness, could not help but raise her head, tears in her eyes, and looked at Qu Yutao pitifully: "Sister——"
"Who are you calling sister? You're just a concubine of the Mi family, how dare you!" Qu Yutao didn't hide her disgust at all and retorted to Xu Qianrong without any hesitation. Qu Yutao looked down on people like this who only curry favor with the powerful.
Xu Qianrong almost cried, "Sister——"
"Shut up!"
"I, I've already taken the Mi family's letter of release as a concubine, and I'm no longer a member of the Mi family. Sister - Madam Hu, please help me and Brother Hu get together! I will definitely serve you well and will never dare to compete with you for anything!"
Widow Qu was so angry that she was fuming. If Deng hadn't stopped her, she would have stood up and beat Xu Qianrong.
"How can you be so shameless! What the hell is this!"
Qu Yutao was also disgusted. "Congratulations, now that you are free, go back to your own home. Whatever you plan is your own business and has nothing to do with our family. Miss Xu, please save some dignity for yourself."
"I--"
"Would you like to leave on your own, or should I have someone ask you to leave?"
"Brother Hu——"
"There's no Big Brother Hu here, Miss Xu. Don't you even know what the word 'self-respect' means?"
Xu Qianrong's tears rolled down, with some genuine sadness and anger, but also some deliberate affectation.
She was bullied to this extent.
Qu Yutao immediately ordered people to drive them all out.
The Mi family's housekeeper and Xu Qianrong were driven out in a state of disgrace. The housekeeper actually wanted to get on the carriage and run away, leaving Xu Qianrong behind. "Miss Xu is no longer a member of our Mi family. She has nothing to do with us!"
How could the Zhao family’s housekeeper let her go?
"How can your sister-in-law be so unreasonable? Whether Miss Xu is from your family or not is a matter between you and her, and has nothing to do with our Zhao family! You can't just throw all your garbage into our house, right? It would be disgraceful if someone saw it!"
The housekeeper of the Mi family was extremely angry, and Xu Qianrong, who was compared to garbage, was so ashamed and angry that she almost cried.
There was no choice but for the housekeeper of the Mi family to take Xu Qianrong away and send her back to the Xu family reluctantly.
When Xu Qianrong returned to the Xu family, her parents were shocked and asked her questions angrily. But when they heard Xu Qianrong said she wanted to follow Hu Ling, their eyes lit up again.
Yes, that’s good too!
She followed the Mi family, but didn't get any benefits from it. But if she followed Hu Ling, she would definitely get some benefits.
Mrs. Deng comforted Qu Yutao: "Don't take such disgusting words to heart. Ah Ling was raised by us. His character and moral integrity are beyond reproach. He will never have anything to do with the Xu family again. You two are family, so don't let others take advantage of you!"
Qu Yutao felt warm in her heart, nodded and smiled: "Aunt is right, I understand."
Widow Qu was furious. "Of course Ah Ling is a good kid, but that Xu guy is obviously not a decent person. Now that he's been abandoned by the Mi family, he's out there. Who knows what crooked ways he might use. We have to warn Ah Ling well later. Otherwise, if this bastard plots against him, it would be too disgusting!"
"That's exactly what I meant," Deng nodded. "I'll definitely give Ah Ling some serious instructions later."
Deng persuaded Qu Yutao for a long time before finally convincing her.
In the afternoon, Zhao Liya, Zhou Hansheng and others returned to Beijing. Zhou Hansheng sent the eldest prince back to the palace, while Zhao Liya sent her brother and sister-in-law back to the Zhao Mansion. She also had the opportunity to talk to her mother. After Zhou Hansheng sent the eldest prince back, he came to pick her up and take her back to the Duke's Mansion.
Deng then told Zhao Liya about this.
Zhao Liya was speechless for a while.
The Mi family's ability to cause trouble for others is increasing.
She really couldn't understand. What good would this do to the Mi family? It wouldn't do them any good. Instead, it would only make their relationship with the Zhao family increasingly strained and more disliked. Why bother?
Is this just a desperate act?
But if they want to do something wrong, it depends on whether the Zhao family allows it.
Forcing someone else to take over the unwanted concubine of your own family? Are you crazy? It's truly disgusting!
Zhao Liya sneered, "It seems the Mi family is determined to make things difficult for our family! They actually want to force their unwanted concubine into our family to cause trouble. How absurd! I heard from my mother that Concubine Xu's behavior is really not good - no good concubine would give someone like the Mi family as a concubine. If they continue to make trouble, there is no need to be nice to them. The more you give face to such a person, I'm afraid she will think you can't let her go, and she will become more and more demanding!"
Deng agreed deeply, smiled and nodded, saying, "What my Ya'er said is absolutely correct."
Widow Qu felt relieved and said with a smile, "Don't even mention that she can't succeed. If she really plots, I'll beat her to death! It'll also let her know that not everyone can plot!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
