Chapter 874 He can only be trapped there for the rest of his life
Sang Zhixia reacted quickly enough after receiving the news, but she was still a step too late.
Aunt Xu looked at the person who appeared in front of her, surprise flashed in her eyes, and the smile on her face faded a little, but she didn't show any intention of dodging.
After not seeing each other for several years, the two people who used to be closest to each other finally met again, but no one spoke first.
He is different from Uncle Xu, who has been tortured for many years and has become unrecognizable.
Second Aunt Xu has lived a relatively happy life these past few years. She hasn't deliberately indulged herself in luxury, but her demeanor and appearance haven't changed much. She's become more graceful and elegant than before.
Uncle Xu looked at his wife like this with hatred and anger bursting from his eyes. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "You have been living a very comfortable life for so many years without caring about my life or death."
"Do you know how I've been living these past few years? You..."
"What's your life got to do with me?"
Second Aunt Xu waved her hand to signal the people behind her not to be nervous, lowered her eyes and said slowly, "Even if you're dead, it's nothing to do with me anymore."
So what if I managed to survive and struggle back to Kyoto?
So what if he is her nominal husband and the father of her child?
No one wants to delve into the big mistake this man made back then, but the three of them, mother and son, are no longer the pitiful people who were tortured at will.
If he still thought that his appearance would make them nervous, or that they would care about his life or death, then he was completely wrong.
Second Aunt Xu slowly stood up, holding the armrest of the chair. She looked at the man with a face full of resentment from a few steps away and smiled: "I won't give you the chance to hurt my child.
"Not before, and not in the future."
"Come here, please ask the Second Master to go and rest. Don't let him disturb the customers in the store."
At Aunt Xu's command, those who had been waiting for an opportunity rushed out. Without waiting for the struggling person to utter a sound, they blocked his mouth, knocked him unconscious, and stuffed him into the prepared carriage.
The carriage passed through the busy city. Aunt Xu clutched the hem of her clothes tightly and was silent for a long time before she said, "Let's go home."
When the family learned that Uncle Xu had gone directly to the shop, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
When Aunt Xu arrived home alone, even the old man looked at her in surprise.
Xu Minghui had just arrived after hearing the news and noticed that there was indeed no one behind him. He frowned and said, "Mom, I heard..."
"What are you rushing for?"
Aunt Xu patted his shoulder with a smile and said jokingly, "Didn't I come back just to talk about this? Don't be anxious."
Xu Minghui swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and wanted to help Second Aunt Xu sit down, but unexpectedly she walked straight up to the old man and knelt down.
The people in the room suddenly changed color, not knowing what they were thinking of. The old man's tone was as gentle as ever: "Why, do you have something to say to me?"
Second Aunt Xu knelt straight and kowtowed earnestly. After taking a deep breath repeatedly, she confessed in a hoarse voice what she had been hiding from everyone.
Uncle Xu actually didn’t get the news until today.
That person was restless at home, lazy and extremely stupid, but he also had his own sharpness and thoughts.
He was really desperate from the torture of hard labor in the northwest mines, and happened to hear the news of the Xu family's revival from the outside world. He had been secretly contacting Aunt Xu since two years ago.
Everyone in the room who knew the situation looked over in amazement.
Second Aunt Xu spoke slowly, "He threatened us at first, saying he would expose all the Xu family's scandals to the world, bringing disgrace to the Xu family and ultimately destroying them all."
"But don't I know him yet?"
Second Aunt Xu sneered, "He's greedy, useless, and extremely afraid of death. If he still had a shred of pride in his bones, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today."
"But he hid well and refused to reveal his whereabouts after leaving the Northwest Mine. I didn't want to anger him for the time being, so I chose to give him some silver in a pretense of compromise."
Aunt Xu has been running an embroidery and cloth shop for many years. With the business growing big, the daily income is a considerable amount.
She was quite generous with her money.
Uncle Xu acted like this because he couldn't bear it any longer, but in fact he just wanted to gain some benefits.
After all, he knew better than anyone what had happened back then, and he wouldn't dare to go back to the Xu family.
So when no one knew, Aunt Xu would give a sum of money every month according to the address left by the other party.
The amount of silver offered gradually increased, and the ambition of the rat hiding in the gutter was gradually broadened by greed.
Second Aunt Xu lowered her eyes and said, "It was actually me who lured him back to Kyoto."
"I told him in the letter that Minghui and Mingyang are looking forward to his return. For the sake of the two children, you will let bygones be bygones and forgive the big mistake he made."
"I absolutely cannot allow him to continue roaming around in places I don't know about, and I also cannot accept that he will become a hidden danger that could explode at any time."
"He must return to Kyoto and must live under my supervision and under my control."
In fact, there is a simpler and more brutal way to prevent this person from becoming a hidden danger forever.
The dead never speak.
But that was Xu Minghui and Xu Mingyang's father, a member of the Xu family.
No matter how big a mistake he made, Aunt Xu could not take his life without the old man's permission.
After all, people's hearts are biased, and Aunt Xu knows this better than anyone else.
That person couldn't die in her hands, but she couldn't let him stay in her heart forever.
Only when he returned to Kyoto and came back into her sight, would she have the opportunity to cut off all of this man's unrealistic delusions and eliminate all possibilities of him doing evil.
The old man was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "So what are your plans for the future?"
"I bought a house in Sifang Lane. It's very quiet inside and out, and there are not many people around. I sent him there."
Second Aunt Xu kowtowed heavily to the old man again and said hoarsely, "I won't take his life, but I won't let him get out in this lifetime."
That house will become a cage from which one cannot escape.
For the rest of his life, every day and night, Uncle Xu will be trapped there.
As for external...
Aunt Xu said softly, "In my correspondence with him, I mentioned the future of our two children and the rich and prosperous future I could promise him."
"So, in order to cover up his shameful past, he still dares not mention his family background to anyone, and no one knows that he has returned to Kyoto alive."
"I have arranged enough staff to serve in the house. There will be no shortage of food and drink. Everything will be provided according to the best standards."
"Except for not being able to leave the house and see strangers, he can be given anything he wants, whether it's beautiful concubines or luxury."
"He's just stuck there for the rest of his life."
