Chapter 46: My Ancestors Were Also Rich
The middle-aged man also returned a punch to Mr. Xu, and then laughed.
Next, it’s time to recognize each other!
Xu Lao Da and Xu Lao Er also knew the identity of the visitor, and they also knew that this "old man" of theirs who had been hiding in the village for so many years actually had an extraordinary background.
"Dad, so our ancestors were once rich?"
"My second young master, our family has always been rich!"
When Mother Lu heard what Xu Laoer said, she quickly spoke up to correct him.
"Mother Lu!"
When Mr. Xu heard what the old lady said, he couldn't help but interject, "I'm no longer a descendant of the Xu family. You can see how my family is doing now. How dare I say I'm rich?"
"Master, the master is back!"
"The master has made great achievements in the frontier army and was granted the title of Marquis of Dingbei by the current emperor. You are the eldest son of the Dingbei Marquisate..."
"Mother Lu, please stop talking!"
Old Master Xu said without hesitation, "Let me put it this way. From the day he quietly left my mother and us, I considered my father dead."
"To be honest, I even erected a monument for him on Beishan Mountain!"
When talking about his father, Mr. Xu was filled with resentment.
If that person hadn't been so hot-headed, how could their family have ended up like this? Of course, the most important thing was that Old Master Xu couldn't forget the time when his mother died.
The faces of those people in the Xu family, and their mother's pain and tears.
Even after so many years, Mr. Xu still can't let it go.
"Master, the Marquis had no other choice at that time."
"Mother Lu, we're living well now, with a house and land. Xu Shuo can live as luxuriously as he wants. I think since we haven't heard from him in all these years, he must have remarried, right?"
"If not, you wouldn't have called me the eldest young master of the Dingbei Marquisate just now!"
As the legitimate son of the first wife, according to the rules, Mr. Xu was undoubtedly the heir apparent to the Marquis of Dingbei. However, the pause and regretful expression on Mother Lu's face when she spoke just now were enough for Mr. Xu to understand a lot.
"Master, the Marquis also has his own difficulties!"
"The Marquis has just married the aunt of His Majesty..."
"Oh, that's great! The Xu family is indeed prosperous. Xu Shuo has even become a royal consort. I just wonder if Her Highness the Princess will burn a stick of incense for my mother on her annual memorial day!"
After hearing what Mother Lu said, Mr. Xu became even angrier.
His mother raised him alone at home and died in poverty and illness, thinking of that man until her death. But in the end, he became famous, became a marquis, married a princess, and achieved great success.
In this world, we only see new people laughing, but never old people crying.
Just as Mr. Xu finished his angry words, the little girl who came with Mother Lu suddenly stepped forward and spoke angrily:
"Master, you can't say that about Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Master, the Princess and the Marquis are friends in times of adversity. Over the years, every year on the anniversary of Madam's death, the Princess personally visits Madam's grave to pay her respects."
"Besides, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been searching for the Young Master non-stop!"
"You have reason to resent the Marquis. However, Her Royal Highness the Princess has never owed you anything!"
The little girl spoke angrily, almost pointing her finger at Mr. Xu's nose.
Old Master Xu was suddenly speechless, because what the little girl said seemed to be nothing wrong.
Well, I'll try my best to write more today. Can anyone give me some tips so I can buy some mooncakes?
