Chapter 380 I won’t do such a thing as losing my integrity in my later years!
"Little disciple?"
Zhao Zhongquan had a strange expression on his face, looking at Xu Yu as if he were a fool. "The people you've been meeting are all playboys from wealthy and powerful families. Where are the little kids?"
"Could it be that you had a mistress some time ago and didn't dare tell your wife for fear of exposure, so now..."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tie your tongue."
Xu Yu raised the corners of his lips with a forced smile, and said in a stern tone: "I'm pretty good at tying knots when I help out at home. Would you like to learn from me?"
Zhao Zhongquan stopped talking in time.
Xu Yu rolled his eyes calmly: "It's not my bad friend, it's my brother-in-law who just turned seven."
"Your brother-in-law?"
Zhao Zhongquan was just about to say that the young master of the Sang family was already in his early twenties and had nothing to do with being seven years old, so there was no need for him to become an apprentice.
He then thought about why he had lost his raincoat and got caught in the rain, and suddenly realized: "Your wife's younger brother? A brother from the same mother?"
"yes."
Xu Yu nodded and said slowly, "He entered the family school of the Duke's Mansion two years ago. He is said to have considerable talent. Will you take him in when you go back?"
In the past, if anyone dared to tell Zhao Zhongquan that he could rashly accept a disciple, especially a bastard son of someone he looked down upon, he would have turned hostile and kicked the person out on the spot.
But now he is the one who needs help, and Xu Yu is a bastard with poor morals and no respect for the elderly. I'm afraid it won't work if he is too tough.
Zhao Zhongquan hesitated for a long time and said, "That child's family background is not good enough to attend the Duke's Mansion's clan school. I guess you are the one who brought him up?"
Xu Yu's silence was considered as his agreement.
Zhao Zhongquan was completely baffled. "The family education at the Duke's Mansion is already quite good. If he truly has talent, he could study hard and achieve great things in the future. Why would they bother asking me to be their disciple?"
If it were someone else, he might have agreed.
But the child's surname is Sang.
In Kyoto, people with the surname Sang are not considered good people.
As if worried that Xu Yu didn't understand the pros and cons, Zhao Zhongquan lowered his voice and said, "As expected, the Sang family also got a share of the money from Shu."
"I'm going back this time to drag that bastard surnamed Sang into a fight. He just beat up his father in the court, and now you want me to take him in as your disciple. Isn't this just asking for humiliation?"
"Do you want to see me embarrassed?"
"If you don't ride on his father's face and beat him up, I won't let you be my disciple."
Zhao Zhongquan was completely confused and rubbed his hands, saying, "No, what do you mean by that?"
"If you want to make things difficult for your father-in-law, there are plenty of other ways to do it. Why bother dragging me along as a raft?"
"If a good child becomes my disciple, I will definitely discipline him strictly, otherwise it will ruin his future."
"What if I teach him a lesson and he's on the same page as his father, and turns around and picks on me? I'll have wasted all my time and effort and ended up in a bad situation."
"Aren't you deliberately looking for trouble for me?"
Zhao Zhongquan's words were full of resentment, and his words were filled with dissatisfaction with Xu Yu's insidiousness.
Xu Yu's head ached from being muttered to him. He pressed his brow and said, "He and his father won't be on the same page. Just rest assured that he won't make any mistakes."
"But……"
"Master Zhao, I don't want my brother-in-law to get too close to my father-in-law, who will eventually fail. Do you understand?"
Sang Zhixia doesn't care about his biological father who is in power in Kyoto. The only people he cares about are his mother who is trapped in the Sang family's inner house and his younger brother.
As long as the mother and son stay in the Sang family, they will be under the control of the Sang family.
Coming from the same family, once General Sang reaches the day when he has to pay the price for his mistakes, they will be implicated and punished together.
Xu Yu himself didn't care.
But it will make Sang Zhixia worried.
Zhao Zhongquan was speechless.
Xu Yu's eyelids drooped, and his voice was faint: "I will inform Bai Ziyu and ask him to find a way to bring the child to see you."
"I can help you think of a reason to accept him as a disciple, or you can find one yourself. This child doesn't seek great wealth in the future. As long as he can be safe under your protection, not stupid or foolish, and grow up, that's enough."
Xu Yu's request wasn't too difficult, but Zhao Zhongquan was still confused: "How can you be sure I won't raise a tiger to cause trouble?"
"Since your wife is not here, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. What happened to your father back then? The Sang family might have been..."
"I know."
Xu Yu interrupted Zhao Zhongquan and said with a half-smile, "I know everything."
It is true that General Sang has real talent and knowledge, but he may have relied more on his ability to read people's expressions and know how to adapt to changing circumstances to get to where he is today.
He was not the mastermind behind the Xu family's crime, but he could not shirk the responsibility of being an accomplice.
From the very beginning, Xu Yu had no intention of making life easy for his nominal father-in-law.
The stern look in Zhao Zhongquan's eyes deepened, and he lowered his voice, "Aren't you afraid your wife will find out? He's her biological father."
Xu Yu sneered and said calmly, "If my father hadn't died on the battlefield in Hongbei, my wife would have called him dad."
"That's not your concern. I know my limits."
Xu Yu waved his hand to stop Zhao Zhongquan from nagging, and continued to talk to himself: "In short, my brother-in-law and his father are not the same kind of people. What matters is how you teach him."
"If you can help me remove him from the Sang family tree, I'll owe you a favor."
Zhao Zhongquan thought for a long time and didn't dare to say anything too final. He hesitated and said, "It's redundant to say a thousand words. I'll have to wait until I get back to see what kind of personality he has before I know."
"Also, the family tree thing is not okay."
Zhao Zhongquan glared at Xu Yu in anger, gnashing his teeth secretly, "Even if she's a concubine's child, she's still part of the Sang family. How can I just take her away just because I want to?"
However, it would not be too difficult to take the person out of the Sang family and teach him.
Many thoughts flashed through Zhao Zhongquan's mind and he fell silent. Xu Yu closed his eyes, leaned against the bicycle frame and said nothing more.
Zhao Zhongquan is a pedantic person, but being pedantic has its advantages.
Given Zhao Zhongquan's pedantic and stubborn nature, he would fight to the death with anyone who touched him. You can rest assured in the next few years.
Both children are fine, and the mother-in-law in the Sang family's inner house has hope in her heart, so she can naturally survive.
only……
Xu Yu rubbed his fingertips with an ambiguous expression, then turned to look at Zhao Zhongquan, whose eyebrows and beard were twisted into a knot. "They say you should help others to the end, and see the Buddha off to the west."
"You're already taking care of my brother-in-law's affairs. Why don't you try to take care of my mother-in-law as well?"
Zhao Zhongquan's hands trembled, and he tore off several strands of his beard. The look he cast on Xu Yu's face was like a knife: "If you want my life, you can just say it directly. I won't do such a thing as to lose my integrity in my later years!"
