Chapter 167: Out of the house
Even if Xue Mingsheng inherited the family business and was the designated successor, he could only respect Mrs. Xue more and not slack off in the slightest.
And Old Man Xue, when he learned that Xia Meixue was missing, his body, which had always been not very tough, collapsed, and he was already bedridden. Now that he knew the news of Xue Lang's death, he fainted directly, and after the doctor came to see it, he shook his head and sighed, and bluntly said that he was afraid that it would be more auspicious.
Although the Xue family has good medicinal materials, now the old man Xue has also reached the point where the oil has run out, and he hangs his life with thousand-year-old ginseng, and it is a day to hang it.
On the contrary, Mrs. Xue, after crying for Xue Lang, calmed down and did not collapse as Chu Lingfeng thought.
When Chu Lingfeng went to hand over the key to the warehouse, Mrs. Xue was leaning on the soft couch and closing her eyes to recuperate, as if she had been knocked down by bad news, but in half a day, she seemed to be ten years old. The always neat sideburns are a little messy, and the beads on the head are also down, and only a wooden hairpin is used to pull the hair at will.
went to a gorgeous costume and exquisite dress, and Mrs. Xue also went to that graceful and luxurious atmosphere, which was no different from the old ladies of ordinary people.
Looking at Old Lady Xue, Chu Lingfeng couldn't help but sigh.
The saddest thing in life is that a white-haired person sends a black-haired person. lost a son in his later years, although Chu Lingfeng had not experienced this pain, it was conceivable.
Standing silently at the door for a while, Chu Lingfeng sighed softly and walked over, first put the key in his hand on the table, and said, "Old lady, this is the key to the warehouse, we will move out today, I will return this key to you." ”
Old Mrs. Xue opened her eyes, obviously after emergency treatment, but her eye sockets were still a little red and swollen. She looked at the key on the table, but didn't take it, but reached out and put it on Chu Lingfeng's head, rubbed it gently, and then said a little sadly: "You have to move out." Did Mingsheng tell you to move out? Hey, even you don't want me as an old woman? One by one, they are all leaving. ”
"How could we not want an old lady?" Chu Lingfeng held Old Lady Xue's hand in his hand: "But hand over the family business to the second young master to inherit." This is the decision of the father-in-law, and there is no way to be famous. The relationship between Mingyang and the second young master, the old lady is also clear, staying is just a humiliation, and she can be more comfortable when she leaves. ”
"yes. It's okay to go. Although Mrs. Xue didn't understand Xue Lang's decision very much, she understood it from Xue Mingyang's standpoint. If you don't go by yourself now, are you waiting to be driven away by Xue Mingsheng, there is no need to lose this face and be angry, it is better to be conscious.
Chu Lingfeng smiled: "Old lady, do you remember what I told you last time?" ”
Mrs. Xue has been through too much in the past few days, and her mind couldn't turn for a while, and she was a little confused: "What did you say last time?" ”
"I'll put you at ease." Chu Lingfeng said: "No matter what happens in the Xue Mansion, no matter who is there and who is not. You are all ancestors. The old master is gone, there is still the young master, the eldest young master is gone, and the second young master. ”
"Second Young Master.?" Old Lady Xue didn't know what she thought of, and shook her head: "Counting on her? ”
Old Mrs. Xue's heart is open, although she is an ancestor and has a noble status, in the Xue family, it stands to reason that anyone in front of her must bow their heads. But the situation is stronger than people. She knew that she had never been kind to Shanna's mother and son all these years, and now that their mother and son were in charge, they wanted to be good to her, which was really lip service. It's impossible.
How deep the water is in the door of the mansion, probably no one knows better than Old Lady Xue. There are too many ways for the person in power to embarrass a person, even if he is polite on the face, he will make a stumbling block for you today and a stumbling block tomorrow. That's enough for you to worry about.
And Xue Lang died, died suddenly, died in an accident. Before this, Xue Lang had already begun to hand over the family's business to Xue Mingyang, but now he suddenly changed his hexagram.
Mrs. Xue didn't want to think about her grandson so complicated, but things were so coincidental that she couldn't think about it too much.
Looking at the bitter look on Old Lady Xue's face, Chu Lingfeng smiled slightly and said, "I know what the old lady thinks, old lady, don't worry, I don't dare to say anything about Xue Mingsheng, but Lord Xue Mingyang, I can do it." Xue Mingsheng is your grandson, and so is Xue Mingyang, if one day, the old lady and Xue Mingsheng have a bad time, naturally they can follow us. The house outside, although it is not as bright as the Xue Mansion now, I believe that it is famous, even if it starts from scratch and starts from scratch, it will one day be able to revive the prosperity of the Xue family. In the final analysis, Xue Mingyang is the concubine of the main family and the orthodoxy of the Xue family, isn't it? ”
Chu Lingfeng is not a good person who is bullied by others, in this game, they are a miscalculation and planted in the hands of Xue Mingsheng. But she never had the habit of knocking out her teeth and swallowing blood, but got up from wherever she fell. Whoever makes her fall, she will bury him.
It was just Chu Lingfeng's words, but it made Old Lady Xue feel like she had taken a reassuring pill, she stroked the hair that was a little messy around her ears, and said, "Lingfeng, what you said is true." You are out of the Xue Mansion, but the emperor is far away. You are the mistress of welfare, and you are still willing to cause trouble with me, an old woman? ”
After splitting up, Xue Mingyang set up his own door, and in addition to Xue Mingyang in that house, Chu Lingfeng was the master of the house. But as soon as Mrs. Xue went, she immediately pressed her. Although it is said that Old Lady Xue is naturally oriented towards Chu Lingfeng in everything now, after all, there is an elder, and she can't always do things as she wants.
"Of course I welcome the old lady." Chu Lingfeng said sincerely: "Mingyang and I have never enjoyed any elder care since we were children. There are only two people in the house, and it is also empty. If the old lady is willing to come to us, of course she can't ask for it. ”
What's more, no matter how high Mrs. Xue's status and power are, after going through this time, how can she do anything to give orders. Chu Lingfeng still understands this, Old Lady Xue is an understanding person, and she is not difficult to get along with. What's more, there is still a Xia Meixue in the house, so it will not be their turn to live a life of two people.
In extraordinary times, there was not much time, and Chu Lingfeng couldn't say it too clearly, but after she persuaded her, Mrs. Xue was much better, and she also had her own plans.
What's the point of being embarrassed, it's a big deal to wait until Xue Mingyang settles down, find a suitable opportunity and take the girl to the door. The old lady has been married to the Xue family for so many years, and her dowry is not mentioned. There are also a lot of private houses, and she can't spend much of this money, but thinking about it, if it is cheaper to stay in the Xue family, Xue Mingsheng and Yu Shanna will not be happy.
As for the old lady being kicked out of the house or something. She is ashamed, but no matter how embarrassed she is, she can still have Xue Mingsheng to be ashamed. When others knew about this, they would never say how her wife was, but they would definitely say that Xue Mingsheng was unfilial. can't tolerate the old man, and his reputation is damaged, that's also his business.
After a few more words, Xue Mingyang and Xue Mingsheng are also here, and other things have been dealt with, and now, as long as the five thousand taels are clear, Xue Mingyang can leave.
Fortunately, he had already bought a house in Linchuan, otherwise, such a group of people would have been kicked out of the house and went to the guest house. That's a shame.
The two brothers were completely torn apart at this time, and they didn't want to enter the door together, Xue Mingyang said that he wanted to come and say goodbye to the old lady, so he entered the house alone, Xue Mingsheng was waiting at the door, with an unhappy face.
In fact, at this time, Xue Mingsheng's mood was a little unreasonable. Although this move was a risky move, it was clear that he had won, and everything went according to his expectations, and his wish for so many years was finally realized. inherited the family business and swept Xue Mingyang out of the house.
But he was still not happy, because the expected Xue Mingyang should not be so calm, of course, he could see that he was very angry at first. Unwillingly, but that emotion was quickly suppressed. All the way after that, until he said that he was going to leave the Xue Mansion, he was calm as if he was not doing anything at all.
Xue Mingsheng has been thinking about the victory for more than ten years, and he came like this, but there is no misery of the opponent to set off. made him feel that this victory was a little arrogant and joyful, and Xue Mingyang and Chu Lingfeng's too calm reactions, which made him feel a little uneasy in his heart, and slowly grew.
But when everyone arrived at the door of the warehouse, Yu Shanna also came, this woman who is now an aunt's wife, is not at all the same as a few days ago, low-key and simple.
Because Xue Lang had just died, Yu Shanna couldn't wear gold and silver, and she couldn't dress too brightly, but the expression on her face was a little bit of grief for just losing her husband.
If it were before, it would have been sad. She and Xue Lang have been married for 20 years, and they still have a very deep relationship. But those feelings have disappeared in this short period of time, the deprivation of her son's inheritance and the loss of her position as the second wife, these two things, let the last bit of hope of this relationship also dissipate in the wind, completely without a trace.
Now, Xue Mingsheng has become the head of the family and holds great power, and Yu Shanna has already regarded herself as the heroine, although in order to maintain her demeanor, she did not show this face too obviously, only that she has been together for so many years, and it can be regarded as watching Xue Mingyang grow up, and now that they are moving away, I don't know when they will see each other again, so I came to give them a ride.
Yu Shanna said kind words, but the arrogance in her demeanor could no longer be suppressed.
Fortunately, Chu Lingfeng and Xue Mingyang were not breathless people, their faces were calm, and they followed Mrs. Xue into the warehouse.
Mrs. Xue naturally knew about the treasury, and after she entered, she picked up the account book and opened it, and she probably didn't know how much silver the Xue family still had.
Because it was Xue Mingyang who took the money, and it was Mrs. Xue who gave the money, Xue Mingsheng just stood at the door even if he was staring, and he didn't get too close, so he didn't look too real.
But Xue Mingyang saw it really, after Mrs. Xue opened the account book, her eyelids trembled, and her hands also trembled, as if something was wrong.
At this time, Chu Lingfeng stepped forward and said, "Old lady, where is the silver, you can order it for us." We were still in a hurry to get out, and there was nothing in the new house, and there was a lot of work to be done. ”
As he spoke, Chu Lingfeng winked at Old Lady Xue. Because it was facing away from the door, this little action completely fell in Xue Mingyang's eyes, but he didn't teach the people outside the room to notice it at all.
Mrs. Xue felt that her mood was too complicated at this moment, and she didn't know what to say. But after a pause, he said: "In the row against the wall on the left, one box is three thousand taels, and two boxes are six thousand taels, and they are brought out to the eldest young master, and the eldest young grandmother will take them away." Five thousand taels are counted as those of the treasury, and the other thousand taels are given by me, and they will be made up later from my private room. ”
The grandson wants to leave and set up another door, and to be an old lady, it is not much to give a thousand taels of silver. Even though Yu Shanna was a little unhappy in her heart, she had no position to say anything. And she also wanted to get these two out as soon as possible, out of sight and out of mind.
Xue Mingyang and his wife thanked the old lady, waved their hands and asked the little maid to move, the two heavy boxes, together with Xue Mingyang's other things, a total of more than 20 boxes, out of the house.
These things, although Xue Mingsheng didn't say anything, he sent a small servant to watch and pack them, except for Xue Mingyang's own things, he didn't bring much.
In fact, Xue Mingsheng has been rich and noble since he was a child, and he is not short of money at all, his eyelids are not so shallow, and he does not put small money in his eyes. But the other party is Xue Mingyang, so he doesn't want him to take advantage of it, and he can't wait for him to really go out of the house.
There were about 20 people who followed Xue Mingyang, all of whom were girls in the small mountain and had been with Xue Mingyang for some years. There were more than twenty people, three or two carriages loaded with more than twenty boxes, and a carriage with Chu Lingfeng and Xue Mingyang in the afterglow of the setting sun left the Xue Mansion.
Xue Mingyang stood at the door of the Xue Mansion, where the white cloth had been hung, glanced at it without any nostalgia, and turned to leave.
Although he has lived in this house for nearly 20 years, in the past 20 years, the house has always been a cold house, no one has given him warmth, and he has never felt at home.
Although I have to leave now, my relatives have already been taken to my side, what kind of house is it in, and what is the difference.
In the carriage, it was shaky, although Chu Lingfeng looked at Xue Mingyang quite calmly, but he didn't expect him to feel good at this time, so he reached out and shook his somewhat cold hand, and said, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Xue Mingyang smiled and reached out to hold her back: "Actually, although it shouldn't be, I actually feel quite relaxed." ”
It really shouldn't be, my father died, and I was kicked out of the house by my younger brother who had almost nothing, and he, not sad, not painful, not angry, turned out to be quite relaxed.
Seeing that Xue Mingyang was not lying, nor was he forced to laugh, Chu Lingfeng also smiled; "It's good to be relaxed, and there will be more relaxed in a while, so I guarantee that after you read it, you will be in a better mood."
As he spoke, Chu Lingfeng opened the window and instructed outside: "Go to Zhengduofang and tell Rong Gongzi that the eldest young master of the Xue family has re-established the mansion and let him give gifts." (To be continued.) )
