Chapter 818 Now They Should Be Afraid of Me
Xu Yu had no idea whether Xu Minghui was a traitor in the family.
However, once he went out and temporarily got rid of the kid who always liked him to dress up, Xu Yu's steps were light and brisk.
The relief on his face was palpable.
Sang Zhixia was a little amused: "Are you so happy that you're not at home taking care of the children?"
"Where is it?"
Xu Yu retorted seriously, "I was obviously happier because you stole it from me."
"I finally waited for you to pick me up, really."
If Sang Zhixia doesn't come, his long hair will be plucked out.
Sang Zhixia saw through Xu Yu's situation but didn't say anything, saving his father's rare dignity. She let him lead her down the street and said slowly, "Wouldn't it be bad if people recognized you if you just wander around like this?"
After all, the external explanation is that he is still recovering from his injuries. Doesn't Xu Yu look too lively now?
Xu Yu smiled nonchalantly, "Zhizhi, actually, apart from those in the army, there are actually very few people in Lingnan King City who know me."
The General of the Cavalry was so famous that everyone in the royal city knew him.
However, the reality is that even if Xu Yu walked in front of them, he would be difficult to recognize.
In fact, Xu Yu never really came into public view.
It's like a knife that has been hidden in the dark and its edge has been dulled.
For some reason, Sang Zhixia felt inexplicably distressed, and she really couldn't imagine the enthusiastic scene when the ostentatious prince rode his horse to Kyoto.
Xu Yu didn't catch the obscurity that passed through Sang Zhixia's eyes, but instead smiled with his eyes narrowed, unable to hide his smugness.
"That's great."
"If I really get exposed as soon as I go out, then it's really not convenient for me to just hang around with you like this."
There is no rush to do things at the destination, and there is nothing too important right now.
As long as Sang Zhixia wants, she can wander around aimlessly for a long time.
Seeing that he didn't look reluctant, Sang Zhixia clasped his fingers and said lazily, "Who said we have nothing to do?"
"I'm going to the tea mountain soon. I'd like to bring something back for your mother-in-law. You have to carry it."
Speaking of his mother-in-law who lived in the small building, Xu Yu couldn't help but sigh: "My mother told me to find a way to bring my mother-in-law back as soon as possible, otherwise she wouldn't let me go home."
Sang Zhixia was amused by his pitiful tone, but the tenderness in her eyes gradually disappeared.
Not only Xu Wenxiu was anxious, Sang Zhixia also felt that it was not a good idea for Mrs. Xie to continue like this.
Mrs. Xie herself said frankly that she didn't care about honor or not, and she didn't care about food and drink expenses.
If she could minimize the impact on her two children, she even wanted to live in a Taoist temple for a long time and stay away from the world.
Being demoted to the lowest status of a concubine left such a deep mark on Mrs. Xie that even after many years, she was still afraid of that dark cage.
But why is she hiding from the world?
What had she done wrong?
Sang Zhixia said with lingering disdain, "They say the mouths of the world are poisonous and heart-piercing. They are invisible and colorless, yet they can shatter bones and souls, leaving people with eternal damnation."
"But think about it carefully, why?"
Mrs. Xie was forced by her scumbag father to be his concubine and was trapped in the inner courtyard of the mansion where she gave birth to a pair of children.
He served his mistress cautiously and did not dare to overstep the mark, just wanting a peaceful life for his child.
But what?
Sang Yanyou showed some intelligence when he was young, but a few days later he fell into the water and was chased by a mad dog, and he almost lost his life several times.
Sang Zhixia experienced life and death several times when she was young. When she grew up, her most important marriage was tampered with and became difficult.
The scumbag dad is not unaware of this, nor does he really not know about it.
People simply think that insignificant people are no different from raising funny kittens and puppies, and it doesn’t matter whether they are dead or alive.
The past is like this, why should there be any lingering feelings?
Furthermore...
"Even if we need to hide now, it shouldn't be us hiding from others, but whoever feels guilty should hide."
What dog wouldn’t wag its tail when it sees a bone?
If you want meat and bones and want to sit high, you can only pull out the dog's teeth at once.
Noticing Xu Yu's hesitant expression, Sang Zhixia said quietly, "I think you underestimate a mother's instinct."
Mrs. Xie was weak by nature. She was willing to commit suicide for Sang Zhixia to seek a chance of survival, and she was also willing to fake her own death and leave Kyoto for Sang Yanyou.
Then she can be brave again now.
Whether it was Xu Wenxiu or Aunt Xu, everyone was afraid of touching the sad things in Mrs. Xie's heart, and no one dared to talk about it in depth.
Mulberry branches are not afraid of summer.
She dares to say what others dare not say.
Mrs. Xie learned early in the morning that Sang Zhixia and her family would be staying overnight, and she rushed into the kitchen just after noon.
He didn't ask the cook for help and spent half a day around the stove. Finally, he managed to prepare a table of food before anyone arrived.
Sang Zhixia smiled immediately when she saw the small table piled high with food: "Such a sumptuous meal! I wish I had brought Yuanbao and the others along."
Mrs. Xie smiled at first, then frowned subconsciously: "Let's not do that."
"I live here. Nuonuo, Yuanbao and the others...try not to bring them here as much as possible."
In fact, if she could control them, she wouldn't even want Sang Zhixia and Xu Yu to come over.
Xu Yu called out to his mother-in-law without saying anything else and went into the kitchen to help get the dishes.
Madam Xie held Sang Zhixia and couldn't help saying, "Didn't I tell you before that it's better not to come here unless you have something to do? Why are you..."
"This tea mountain is mine, why can't I come over?"
Sang Zhixia laughed and said, "Mom is Nuonuo and Yuanbao's grandmother, so why can't they come?"
"You...why can't I explain this to you?"
Madam Xie glanced anxiously back in Xu Yu's direction and said in a low voice, "I'm a concubine. According to the rules, I can't let the child call me grandmother!"
"It was fine when no one knew about it, that was my blessing. But now that the Sang family has shown up, and asking the child to call me grandma is insulting the child's great blessing, why are you..."
"mother."
Sang Zhixia interrupted Madam Xie and for the first time confessed her true thoughts to her: "The Sang family is nothing in my eyes, and my biological father is nothing either. I have nothing to fear."
"Now they should be afraid of me."
Mrs. Xie pinched Sang Zhixia's hand with a headache: "My daughter!"
"People's words are like bloodless knives that kill. If you become a burden to me, I might as well die early! You and Yanyou..."
"If mother thinks this way, how can Yanyou cope with it?"
Looking at the stunned Madam Xie, Sang Zhixia said word by word, "Yanyou faked his own death and left Beijing with Mother. This is a fact."
"You could say he's living out the rest of his life in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, but what about Yanyou? He's still a child, his wings haven't fully grown yet, and his eyes have never seen the wider and more vast mountains and rivers. Does he have to live his whole life in fear of what others say, hiding?"
Sang Zhixia turned her head away from Mrs. Xie's suddenly red eyes, a hint of arrogance emerging between her brows: "Mother, whether you hide here or somewhere else, you won't have the peace you want."
"Yanyou and I are not afraid, so what is mother afraid of?"
"Isn't it just a Sang family in Kyoto?"
"I'll just stand in front of these people, who can do anything to me?"
