Chapter 90 Compromise (Part 2)
"Mother, my family has been on the frontier for twenty years. During these twenty years, I haven't been able to fulfill my filial duties by your side. It's my fault. I will serve you well in the future!" Yuan Qifeng said, "But as for my second brother's family, I, Yuan Qifeng, believe I have never treated them unfairly, let alone owe them anything. There's no need for me to wrong my wife and daughter, or even risk their lives to please them."
"Boss, you..." Madam Yuan was a little panicked and instinctively didn't want to hear what Yuan Qifeng was going to say next.
"So..." Yuan Qifeng looked at Madam Yuan and said, "Whether you agree or not, this family is divided between us two sons!"
"You..." The elder lady's hands were shaking, but she didn't know what to say.
Yuan Qifeng continued, "Since you said You'er scared the horse, and I have no evidence, then I will go find evidence. I only hope that when I present the evidence to you, mother, you will agree to my request to divide the family. I ask for nothing else but for my wife and children to live in peace!"
"Brother, how could you force Mother to split the family? You're being disobedient!" Yuan Qilei said angrily, "If this gets out, you'll lose all your dignity. How can you still be a First-Rank General? Aren't you afraid of the Emperor's rebuke?"
"Rebuke?" Yuan Qifeng sneered and said to Yuan Qilei, "Okay, then how about making a bet with me? Once I find the evidence, we'll go to the palace and see the emperor. I'll present the whole story and the evidence to him, and you can see if he will stop my request to split the family. How about that?"
"Brother, you..." Yuan Qilei was scared. How could he dare to tell the emperor about such a thing? Would he still want to keep his official position?
"Brother, I... I am doing this for your own good. I don't want you to disobey mother. Why do you have to make a scene in front of the emperor? No matter what the result is, won't our Yuan family lose face in the entire capital?" Yuan Qilei smiled awkwardly.
"Shame on you?" Yuan Qifeng snorted, "It's shameful not to be able to protect your wife and children. Even if I quit my job, I won't let my wife and daughter suffer any injustice."
"Enough!" The elder lady slammed the table.
After hearing what Madam Yuan said, Yuan Qifeng and Yuan Qilei both fell silent. Yuan Qifeng glared at Yuan Qilei with confidence, while Yuan Qilei dodged and did not dare to look Yuan Qifeng in the eye.
"Forget it!" Madam Yuan said to Yuan Qifeng, "I'm putting this out there today. If you can find evidence of the Ning family's evil deeds, I'll agree to let you divide this family!"
"Mother!" Yuan Qilei was immediately anxious. If the family really split up, what benefits would he get? How could he use the mansion of a fifth-rank tutor as a prestige? Even his salary would probably not be enough to support his family.
"Thank you, mother!" Yuan Qifeng bowed to Madam Yuan.
"Mother, I will take my leave now!" Yuan Qifeng said, "I hope you will keep your promise and agree to my request to divide the family once I find evidence. Otherwise, I will sacrifice my official uniform and seek justice from the emperor."
After saying that, Yuan Qifeng turned around and left Shousong Hall.
"Mother!" Seeing Yuan Qifeng leave Shousong Hall, Yuan Qilei busy himself beside Madam Yuan, with a look of anxiety on his face: "What should I do? My eldest brother is determined to split up the family. What should I do? Please save my son!"
Madam Yuan Lao glared at Yuan Qilei with a look of dismay. "You still say that if it weren't for what your good wife and daughter did, your eldest brother would be so cruel? Furthermore, let me ask you, is what your eldest brother said true? You want to take the second girl's shop into the public domain for your own selfish interests? Tell me, is it true?"
"Mom!" Yuan Qilei's eyes were a little evasive: "How could you miss your son so much?"
Zhizi Moruomu!
The elder lady sighed, it was indeed what she thought!
"Lei'er!" The elder lady had no choice but to say, "Let me say something good about you!"
As she spoke, the elder lady burst into tears: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have indulged you!"
"Mother!" Yuan Qilei said angrily, "What are you talking about? I just took advantage of it. You can't bear to see your son suffer so much, right?"
As he spoke, Yuan Qilei sighed and shed tears: "Mother, I only have one daughter now, and I don't know what the future holds. I just wanted to make more money, but why is it considered an unforgivable sin in Big Brother's eyes? Could it be that Big Brother doesn't care about brotherly love?"
"Alas, you!" The elder lady sighed and shook her head, "You still haven't figured out what your eldest brother is angry about!"
Yuan Qilei secretly curled his lips. Of course he knew, but he couldn't say it, otherwise wouldn't he be admitting those things?
"Mom!" Yuan Qilei said with a sad face: "You have to help your son!"
"Lei'er!" Madam Yuan touched Yuan Qilei's hair and said, "Mother will naturally think about you, but if this family is really divided, the only things that can be given to you are those things your father left behind. As for the rest, don't even think about it!"
"Mom!" Yuan Qilei was anxious. If the two brothers divided their father's things, what would be left? He didn't want those rubbish!
"It's no use calling me ancestors!" The elder lady sighed. "This mansion belongs to your eldest brother. You can't touch his salary. And don't even think about the fertile land, villa, and silver that the emperor gave you today, unless you don't want to live anymore. As for You'er's shop... just give up on it!"
"Mother!" Yuan Qilei secretly hated in his heart: "Can you bear to see your son suffer?"
"If we really divide the family, I will take the initiative to give you more of your father's things. As for the rest, forget it!" The elder lady sighed, "Your eldest brother is angry now, and he won't give in no matter what!"
"But……"
"Okay, I'm tired, you go back!" The elder lady rubbed her forehead and said with a tired face.
Yuan Qilei suppressed his anger and had to take his leave: "Then mother, your son will be back soon. Rest well, mother!"
"Go!" The elder lady waved her hand!
When Yuan Qilei left Shousong Hall, a person also left quietly on the roof of Shousong Hall!
In Zihua Courtyard, Ning threw teacups all over the floor. "What a good plan! They actually want to kick our family out of the house like this! Don't even think about it!"
"Madam!" Honeysuckle whispered, "From what I heard from the general, it's a done deal!"
Hearing this, Ning gritted her teeth in anger and asked Rendong, "Did you handle the incident that day efficiently? I heard those two were caught. What if they betray you?"
"Madam, I covered it up. The coachman and the maid didn't recognize me." Honeysuckle said hurriedly.
"That's good!"
