Chapter 251 Mother, why did you hit me?
Today, Xu Yunyue just came back from the farm and saw her mother and brother waiting for her at the gate of Wu's house. She smiled and went to greet them, but was slapped twice by her own mother!
"Madam Yue!" The maids and servants beside her were so frightened that they rushed forward to protect her.
Xu Yunyue covered her slapped face with grievance, very confused: "Mom!! Why did you hit me?"
Hearing this, Song pointed at Xu Yunyue and trembled, "Why did I hit you? Because we begged for mercy at the gate of the Wu family for five days, and you didn't even see us!!"
"Do you know that your father is going to be beheaded??? Woohoo!! He will be beheaded at noon tomorrow, your father is going to die!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yunyue was so shocked that she almost fell down. Fortunately, the maid was quick to catch her!
"No, mother, you are lying to me, right? What did father do to deserve beheading?"
Xu Jinyin: "What's the point of you pretending to be so hypocritical now? When your father was imprisoned, we could have found a way to prove that he didn't kill anyone. It was you! You avoided seeing him!!"
Xu Yunyue shook her head, tears falling one after another: "I didn't, I was not at home these days, I was..."
Xu Jinyin: "That's enough! If you are ungrateful, don't make excuses. Humph, you have become a concubine of a wealthy family. We poor maidens are not worthy of you after all, right?"
"I didn't, I never thought about it that way, I didn't..." Xu Yunyue covered her chest in pain, and fell into the maid's arms as she spoke.
"Aunt Yue!!"
"Someone come! Someone come quickly! Aunt Yue has fainted!"
"Quick, quickly carry Madam Yue inside and ask the court doctor to come to Madam Yue's yard!!"
Song watched the flustered maids and servants carrying her unconscious daughter into the mansion. She had no time to cry and pushed Xu Jinyin hurriedly: "Hurry up and stop your sister. She can't faint. Your father is still in prison waiting for help! He can't wait any longer!"
"Ask your sister to use the power of the Wu Mansion to help plead for mercy!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinyin hurried forward to stop them, but six guards suddenly appeared and stopped him. The mother and son watched Xu Yunyue being carried into the mansion.
After the door of the Wu Mansion was closed, Song sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
At this time, the mother and son of the Xu family were kneeling outside Xu Zhiyi's pastry shop.
Xu Yaoguang kowtowed loudly and shouted, "Sister Zhiyi, please help my father. We were the ones who wronged you before. I kowtow to you to apologize. Please..."
Li, who was standing by, also kowtowed: "Zhiyi, even if he is not your biological uncle, you have called him your uncle since you were a child. How can you bear to watch him die without helping him?"
"We were wrong! As long as you are willing to rescue your uncle, our whole family is willing to work like slaves for you. Please!"
The people outside formed a circle and pointed at the two people:
"What's going on?"
"Hey, let me tell you, didn't someone die in the gambling house a few days ago? The murderer is the head of the family of the two kneeling down, and now he comes to beg Manager Xu to save him."
"Hey, if you kill someone, you must pay with your life. Don't these two people understand that? How can Shopkeeper Xu help with this kind of thing?"
"Oh, who knows. However, I also heard a big gossip, that is, Shopkeeper Xu is actually the daughter of the Xue family who was living outside. I heard that! The elders of these two people deliberately replaced them."
"And what's more! If it were someone else, instead of treating them well, they actually abused Manager Xu and his daughter for decades."
"What? So vicious? Bah, how dare these two come to beg Shopkeeper Xu now?"
Xu Zhiyi looked at the two people who were still kneeling outside the shop and signaled to Master Quan: "Master Quan, if the two people outside don't want to leave, beat them up hard. Beat them half to death and throw them away from me. Don't affect my mood!"
Hearing this, Master Quan excitedly rolled up his sleeves and said, "Hey, I'm good at beating people up!"
Su in the kitchen looked at Xu Zhiyi and asked curiously, "Zhiyi, are the two people outside the shop still kneeling?"
Xu Zhiyi nodded: "I asked the big dog to beat the guy away!"
Hearing this, Su sighed, "Alas, if they had known this would happen, they wouldn't have done it in the first place. So, retribution will eventually come!"
"Oh, mother, the Xue Mansion sent a message yesterday. My grandmother and I will visit my uncle's and grandfather's house later. We should have gone a few days ago, but we were busy, so we postponed it until today!"
Su: "I heard that the Li family is in the county town, so don't you have to stay at the Li family for a night?"
Xu Zhiyi: "One day is definitely too much of a rush, we have to stay overnight"
As they were talking, Xue Yinyin's voice came before her: "Sister Zhiyi, my grandmother and I are here to pick you up! Let's go to my uncle's house in the county town now."
Xu Zhiyi looked at the person who came and said in surprise: "So soon? I have to go back and get some clean clothes." The weather has started to warm up recently, so she has to take a bath every day.
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Xue, who followed behind Xue Yinyin, said, "No need to go back, Grandmother has prepared everything for you!"
After hearing this, Xu Zhiyi had nothing to worry about. He explained the shop to everyone and followed Madam Xue to the county town.
Along the way, Old Madam Xue and Xue Yinyin beside her never stopped talking. They introduced the people and things in his uncle's family to Xu Zhiyi, saying that everyone in his uncle's family was very kind and asked Xu Zhiyi not to be nervous when he met them later.
After two hours, the carriage stopped at the gate of a big house.
As soon as Xu Zhiyi lifted the car curtain, someone came up to greet him.
"Oh, this is my niece, right? She's so pretty."
Madam Xue introduced them, "This is your second cousin, the one next to her is your first cousin, and the one behind her is your first cousin. Your second cousin is away on a business trip!"
After listening to this, Xu Zhiyi bowed to everyone and said, "I greet my eldest uncle, my eldest aunt, and my second cousin." Xue Yinyin, who was standing beside him, also followed suit and bowed.
After Xu Zhiyi paid his respects, Old Madam Xue then introduced the peers standing aside.
"Hello, cousin Zhiyi!" The Li family has two branches. The first branch has two sons and one daughter. The son is older than Xu Zhiyi, while the daughter is younger. The second branch has three daughters and one son, all of whom are younger than Xu Zhiyi.
The eldest cousin looked at Xu Zhiyi. This face was indeed like his father when he was young. As expected, those who look like their fathers are good-looking. Alas, he looks like his mother. When the two old people were young, his father, a man, looked even better than his mother.
My cousin’s mother-in-law: “Let’s go in quickly! The two old people are waiting!”
Li Jinxuan heard the noise and quickly stood up to greet him: "My niece and granddaughter are here!"
Rong followed behind him: "Look at you, you are so old, don't jump so fast, be careful of your old bones!"
