248, forcing each other
On the afternoon before the ten candidates for marriage were to enter the palace for training, Xu Hui suddenly hurried to Peach Blossom Villa, his face sinking like water, "Your mother, she ...... She's so sick, she's ...... I want to see you! ”
I haven't seen Li for two days, and he is terminally ill? Although Lee's body is not very healthy, it is not so unbearable to withstand the blow, right? Xu Shu was shocked in her heart, but she had no doubts about her trust in Xu Hui, and followed Xu Hui back to the place where she thought she would never go back in her life.
Xu Hui was silent along the way, Xu Shu thought that Xu Hui was caught off guard by Li's sudden illness, and comforted him a few words, Xu Hui just kept nodding, his expression was very complicated.
When he returned to Xu's house, Xu Shu was shocked to find that things didn't seem to be what Xu Hui said, there was no half-hearted atmosphere in the mansion, and he was getting closer and closer to Chunhui Courtyard, and he didn't smell half a wisp of medicine, Xu Shu's heart gradually sank.
The door of Chunhui Courtyard was locked, Mrs. Xu and his wife were sitting on the chairs temporarily moved at the door with gloomy faces, and there was a few teas and waters, it can be seen that Mrs. Xu and his wife were waiting for a while, and seeing Xu Hui bring Xu Shu back, the anxious look on the faces of Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu invariably relaxed, and Wang flicked his hand lightly, and the subordinate suddenly retreated quietly.
Xu Hui stopped and didn't dare to look back at Xu Shu, so he didn't turn his face and sat down until Old Lady Xu lowered his head and hung his head.
"Greetings to my grandfather and grandmother!" Xu Shu bowed down on her knees, listening to the footsteps of the people in the distance, Xu Shu's heart already had a bottom.
"Get up! Sit! Old lady Xu pointed to the vacant seat under the Wang family, and motioned to help Xu Shu sit down.
Xu Shu sat down and said to Bang Feng, "You go to the second aunt to have a look, the second aunt said last time that she would make me new clothes, I don't know if it's done, if it's done, take it to the carriage and wait for me!" ”
Bang Feng nodded, glared at Xu Hui hatefully, and a pair of apricot eyes wanted to turn into a knife and poke Xu Hui into a sieve, but after all, he could only leave unwillingly.
Xu Shu sat upright, half-hung her head, twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand and asked Xu Hui casually, "Didn't my father say that my mother was seriously ill?" So why do we sit at the door and not go in and have a look? ”
Xu Hui couldn't raise his head in shame, let alone answer Xu Shu's question.
Wang coughed and relieved his son, "Your mother is not sick, don't blame your father, I taught your father to say this, if he doesn't say that, you won't come back, right?" ”
"Yes! As long as my father wants me to come back, I will come back! Xu Shu looked at Xu Hui opposite, but unfortunately Xu Hui never had the courage to look up at Xu Shu.
Wang stalked, "Since you have already returned, there is no point in talking about these things!" ”
"Meaningful!" Xu Shu retorted, "What I didn't expect was that even my father began to lie to me, it turns out that your father, you are no different from others!" ”
The huge remorse was overwhelming, and Xu Hui was out of breath, and he looked up in a panic, but he only saw Xu Shu's cold look, and his gray and blue eyes became red at some point, but there was not a single tear in his eyes.
"Alright, let's get down to business!" Old Lady Xu motioned for Wang to continue.
Wang said, "Your mother took your sixth sister and your seventh brother to lock them in the courtyard, kicked out all the subordinates, and said that if you don't let others enter the palace instead of your sixth sister tomorrow, she will burn the courtyard and their mothers together!" ”
"That's why my father thought of me, didn't he?"
Xu Shu's tone was very flat, no sadness or joy, but it fell on Xu Hui's ears and deepened the guilt in his heart, it was he who betrayed Xu Shu's trust in him, and their father-daughter relationship has probably come to an end today.
"It's none of your father's business, he originally wanted Sister Yuan to go, and even offered to give up inheriting the Xu family's family business in exchange, but your third uncle was unwilling, and secretly took Sister Yuan out of the house, and we couldn't find them anywhere, and we really had no choice but to think of you!"
"The third uncle is really a good father!" Xu Shu smiled sarcastically, Xu Yang's father's love has never had anything to do with Xu Ru, just like Li's whole heart is biased towards Xu Hua and Xu Ting, it turns out that partiality is really a problem that everyone will have, even her beloved father......
"You also know that the Xu family now has a total of four concubines, and Sister Yu is too young, so you are the only one left!" The implication of the Wang family is that now the Xu family plans to let Xu Shu enter the palace as a wedding tomorrow.
"So what?" Xu Shu "stared" at Wang in a daze.
Wang was under the pressure of Xu Shu's eyes, and he didn't dare to look at Xu Shu, so he turned his head in embarrassment and asked for help from Mrs. Xu.
Old Lady Xu was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed, "I can only wronged you tomorrow!" ”
Xu Shu didn't respond, and Old Lady Xu said with guilt, "We don't want to do this either, originally we all thought it was Sister Yuan, but your mother ...... it" Referring to the Li family, Old Lady Xu showed dissatisfaction, "If it weren't for your mother threatening your seventh brother's life, we wouldn't have made this move, you have to blame your mother!" ”
"Heh......"
Mrs. Xu's pot is beautiful and natural, and it has nothing to do with him after all.
"But what if I don't want to be wronged?"
Xu Shu's implication was that he didn't want to enter the palace tomorrow.
Old lady Xu was stunned, he never thought that Xu Shu would refute his decision, and after being stunned, he couldn't help but show a gloomy face, it was a kind of anger after his authority was challenged, and his mouth was full of oppression and deterrence.
"Sister Shu, you have always been sensible, this kind of critical moment is not the time to be rash, but also think more about your brother, your eldest brother just gave him the official position, don't affect him because of you, your second aunt is not thin on you, don't chill her heart! The Xu family has always treated you preferentially, and has never treated you badly, how can you be so ignorant when you need to contribute to the family now! ”
"What do you mean don't let me get involved with my big brother? Grandfather, I just want to ask if this will has anything to do with me? ”
Xu Shu asked repeatedly, but Mrs. Xu couldn't answer, because in the end, this matter had nothing to do with Xu Shu.
"It seems that you also know that it has nothing to do with me, so even if the eldest brother is implicated, it is not because of me, I will not feel the slightest guilt!"
The person who should really be guilty hides behind the locked door and sits behind the fish, why should she be innocent to make a sacrifice.
Old Lady Xu couldn't suppress her anger, and glared at Xu Shu angrily, "Do you want to watch the entire Xu family get convicted for resisting the decree?" ”
"Do I deserve to be sacrificed by you just because I am sensible and knowledgeable?" Xu Shu asked fearlessly.
"You...... You ......" Old lady Xu pointed at Xu Shu, and suddenly her eyes rolled and fell to the ground.
