Chapter 66: Breaking away from the Xu family

Xu Xi looked at his mother kneeling beside him, about the same age as his father, and the man not far from her, the traces left by the years on his face were too gentle. He is in the prime of life, his official career is smooth, and he has a group of wives and concubines. And her mother, who has gray hair in her sideburns, has been crushed by long-term house fights and disappointments, and her spirit has also worn out her body. She supported her sick and weak body, sounded the drum of grievances, and did not hesitate to become the talking point of the capital, just for her. Her mother's real purpose was not to reconcile, but to take her away and give her a free and unfettered new identity.

"Xu Xi is the daughter of my Xu family, I'm afraid you're acting too much!" Xu Shangshu clenched his fists, he looked at the woman, and some indescribable emotions surged in his heart, is it anger? Is it disappointment? Is it shocking?

Over the years, Tang Rou has lived quietly in the back house, never competing for favor or pleasing her. From the initial love to marriage, but in the end it came to such a point, Xu Chengxun couldn't figure out what went wrong. Was it when Tang Rou gave birth to her daughter, her body was damaged and she couldn't have any more children, and her mother sighed and complained every day? After marrying the first concubine, did you start with the second and third concubines? But at that time, he clearly told Tang Rou that these people were all sent by the ministers and emperors, and they couldn't help but accept them. Or gave birth to the first son and the second daughter in the concubine's family......

Xu Chengxun couldn't think clearly, but he knew one thing, everything couldn't go back after all. No matter how much love and concubine were at the beginning, they got married according to their hearts, and then Tang Rou gave birth to his first child, Xu Xi. At that time, Xu Xi coughed in the middle of the night, and Xu Chengxun couldn't sleep in distress, so he picked up his daughter and patted it softly. And now, he and Xu Xi haven't gotten along well for almost ten years, and in a blink of an eye, his daughter has grown to his shoulders.

"Lord Yuan, the Xu family still has five children, for Lord Xu, even if I take Xu Xi away, the Xu family will never be broken. But I only have one child Xu Xi in this life, the Tang family came to my generation, my brother died, and the Tang family only had Xu Xi. The ancestors even gave a holy decree, which is reasonable, and this request of the people women is not excessive, and I hope that the adults will be the masters of the people's women. ”

Tang Rou said this, and knocked down again.

Yuan Zhen looked at the woman below and frowned, this case made him a bad person. There is an ancestral holy purpose, even His Majesty must be guarded, not to mention the prefect of his small Chengtian Mansion. And what Tang Rou said is right, it is reasonable to be reasonable, Xu Xi is indeed the last vein of the Tang family. However, the Tang family has declined, and now Xu Chengxun is an official worshipping Shangshu, in the previous dispute between the prince and the three princes, Xu Chengxun has always been a staunch princeling, and now the official road is even more prosperous, and the future may not be comparable to the present.

But......

"Xu Xi, this case is about your own parents, and even more about your future whereabouts. I ask you, do you have any doubts about your mother's request? "Tang Rou wants to reconcile and leave, Yuan Zhen really has no position to dismiss it, but whether Xu Xi wants to follow her, this matter, should ask the opinions of the parties.

Yuan Zhen looked at the little girl standing below, her face was six points similar to Xu Shangshu. He had heard of Xu Xi, the eldest lady of the Xu family. The young girl was supposed to be a good daughter at home, but when she was young, she was sent by her family to a school thousands of miles away. When she returned to the capital again, the capital had long forgotten her name. The noble girl in the capital has her own circle, and although she is the eldest lady of the Shen family, in terms of fame and treatment, she is not as good as the daughter born by the concubine. How can she be regarded as a noble girl in the capital, and this also means that she cannot be allowed a good family business. Until, she was admitted to Taixue. There were only two women enrolled in Taixue that year, she and Shen Enlai. Since then, everyone has learned that she is a doctor known as the reincarnation of Hua Tuo.

Xu Xi, this name was only accepted by the capital.

"My lord, the daughter of the people only wants to be with her mother." Xu Xi didn't look at Xu Chengxun, knelt down, and kowtowed to Yuan Zhen.

At this point, Yuan Zhen couldn't say anything more. Xu Chengxun's face had become extremely terrifying, he looked at Xu Xi, Shen Enlai clenched his fists, and looked at Xu Chengxun, ensuring that if Xu Chengxun made a move, she could rush up to block it at the first time. Maybe he was afraid that it was in Chengtian Mansion, so many people were there, Xu Chengxun just clenched his fists, but he didn't do anything more.

"Xu Xi, have you thought about it clearly? Do you really want to go out of Xu's mansion? "Xu Chengxun is still struggling.

"I left the Xu Mansion when I was five years old." Xu Xi's light voice sounded, not with emotion, just stating a fact.

But this sentence made Xu Chengxun freeze in place and couldn't speak again.

"Since it is the imperial decree of the ancestors, this official pronounced the judgment, and Xu Xi and Tang Rou have since been separated from the Xu family tree. Do people have different opinions? Yuan Zhen leaned back a little tiredly and asked the three of them.

"No disagreement, thank you, sir." Xu Xi and Tang Rou bowed to Yuan Zhen again, but Xu Chengxun did not speak.

Just when Xu Xi helped Tang Rou to pass by Xu Chengxun, Xu Chengxun finally stopped the two of them.

"I know what you're doing this for? Tang Rou, do you really think that you can get your wish when you go out with Xi'er? That's Your Majesty, if the marriage decree really comes down, who can be disobedient? ”

"Xi'er has already promised to be married." Tang Rou spoke lightly.

Xu Chengxun was stunned in place, and only after a while did he laugh as if he was self-deprecating. I see, marriage is a big event, the words of parents. Once Xu Xi goes out of the Xu family, then only Tang Rou can decide to marry.

But at this juncture, who wants to marry Xu Xi? And Xu Chengxun couldn't get an answer, Xu Xi had already helped Tang Rou to walk away. Xu Chengxun looked at their backs and felt a little sour in his chest.

Xu Xi held her mother with her right hand and held her mother's hand tightly with her left hand, she didn't know what to say or how to speak. I could only be silent, and I tried my best to hold my mother's hand. But there was one thing she couldn't help but ask.

"Mother, you said that you ordered me a family business?"

Tang Rou didn't reply to her, she was silent for a while, sighed, and stopped to look at Xu Xi.

"Hmm. Xi'er, my mother has set a family affair for you. ”

"Mother, why? Because of the pro? ”

"Do you want to marry in Korea? My mother told you that even if you told Your Majesty, you had already decided not to marry for the rest of your life on the day you entered Taixue, and Your Majesty would not let you go. Stabilizing relations with South Korea is more important than yours. But if you're engaged, it's different. If you are engaged, even Your Majesty cannot decree that you be married to someone else. ”

"I know, but mother, who wants to? Even if he agrees now, under the coercion of His Majesty in the future, who will not regret it? There's no solution to thisβ€”"

"Chen Zhenmin." Tang Rou interrupted Xu Xi's words and threw out three words.

Xu Xi was stunned, and at this time, everyone in Class 6 also followed behind her, including Chen Zhenmin.

Xu Xi turned around and looked at Chen Zhenmin.
