Chapter 12 Beating the Old Lady
When the servants gathered outside Deshan Hall, the old lady was having a meal.
"How is it appropriate to make noises outside? Why does Mrs. Xu manage the house? It's getting more and more outrageous."
"They said she was the daughter of a celebrity in Kyoto, but that's all she looked like."
"Back then, my son knelt in her house for three days and three nights, talking about getting married. Now, the entire Xu family is in jail." The old lady's face showed a hint of disdain.
In the past few days, the whole city had become aware of the lightning strike, and she was feeling angry.
Only the Xu family was raided, which made her feel happy.
Nanny Lin was coming back to report: "Old madam, it was the book boy in front of Third Young Master who made a mistake. This will make the entire court watch the punishment."
Grandma Lin paused: "I remember that those two boys seemed to have left Deshan Hall."
The old lady's face darkened.
Isn't this a slap in the face of Deshantang?
Nanny Lin helped her stand up and went straight out.
The servants and servants outside the door have already arrived, and everyone looks a little panicked. They all looked at the two book boys tied in the center.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What mistake did they make that they need to be punished with a cane? Is this how a wealthy family wastes human life?" The old lady was leaning on a cane and scolding the young man she sent with the cane in public. What does this mean?
Mrs. Xu bowed to the old lady.
"Old madam, these two beasts actually deceived their superiors and took Brother Xiao to gamble. They led Brother Xiao astray."
"They came from Deshan Hall and were carefully selected by their mother. They are afraid of deliberately deceiving her. If you don't set an example by punishing others, wouldn't everyone be able to deceive you? If you don't know this, they will misunderstand that you deliberately teach bad things. Where is the grandson?" Mrs. Xu looked angry.
When the old lady heard about gambling, she frowned hard.
She looked towards the two book boys, who saw fear and prayer in their eyes.
"Old madam, help me, old madam, help me. It's Pei..." The two nuns in front of the old madam suddenly stepped forward and blocked the mouths of the two book boys.
The old lady's eyelids were twitching wildly.
These two book boys were given by Pei Jiaojiao.
Lu Yuanze's outer room.
Xu glanced at her and slowly clenched her fists.
"Today, everyone is watching with wide eyes! Look what will happen if you betray the master!" As soon as Mrs. Xu raised her hand, a banging sound immediately sounded in the courtyard.
The sound of a stick hitting flesh.
The two book boys were tied to a bench and their mouths were tightly gagged. Their foreheads were covered with cold sweat and they looked at the old lady intently.
Whimpering sounds continued from the blocked mouth.
One stick after another, each sound heavier than the other.
Within half an hour, blood splattered in his stool, and blood stains flowed all over the bench.
The two book boys' faces were blue and purple, with blood spilling from the corners of their mouths. They fell limply on the stools. The blood and flesh became a mess, and all the servants were silent. Some maids were so frightened that they started to cry.
The old lady took a step back in fright.
"Old Madam, let's go back first?" Nanny Lin felt the old Madam's body trembling and whispered.
As soon as the old lady closed her eyes, she could think of the two book boys lying on the ground in a bloody mess.
This time, the stick maid was not the only one struck, but it seemed that she was also hit.
The whole person seemed to be frightened, and was carried back half-supported and half-carried by Granny Lin.
"Eat my rice and smash my bowl. If you want to die, I won't stop you!" Mrs. Xu has always been known for her virtuous nature. This is the first time that she has killed a servant with a stick.
Everyone in the house is in danger.
Mrs. Xu slapped Lu Yuanxiao's servant in front of everyone.
After beating him hard, he put the person back.
[Mother is mighty, mother is so powerful...]
Xu's heart was heavy and she never looked at Lu Yuanxiao.
Lu Yuanxiao followed her mother step by step, with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, I know I was wrong." Only now did he realize how dangerous he was.
For the past three days, he had completely lost himself.
If it hadn't been for what happened to his mother, I'm afraid he would never have a chance to be saved.
"Mom, don't ignore me. My son went astray and made my mother angry." Lu Yuanxiao followed Xu into the house and knelt straight on the ground.
Dengzhi secretly wiped his tears. The Marquis raised his wife, who also gave birth to children, and everyone in the house kept it secret from his wife. The three children are useless and the wife is in a difficult situation. Who knows?
Mrs. Xu's eyes were red, and she stepped forward to help her son up: "My mother paid too little attention to you and let people take advantage of her." Her son was obviously sensible and obedient before he was three years old, so why did he become like this?
No one could tell her the frustration and grievance she felt in her heart, and no one could believe her.
Xu personally selected all the attendants around him, and then he realized that few people in his courtyard were trustworthy.
My heart is filled with fear.
[Hey, the father raises an outlaw, and the children from the outlaw are smart and clever. The mother's children are either disabled or dandy, have no ambition to make progress, and have been annulled. How should they live? Completely became a control group. 】The little guy sighed quietly.
[Third brother is disappointing. 】
Lu Yuanxiao's crying figure froze for an instant.
keep……
What to raise?
Father, raising an outsider? ! !
His head jerked up.
"It's not mother's fault. It's because Yuanxiao is not strong-willed and because she is playful. It's because Yuanxiao lost her sense of propriety because of her parents' favor." After he finished speaking, he paused and looked at his mother without leaving any trace.
At some point, my mother became much more haggard, and she may not have seen a smile on her face for a long time.
"Mom and dad, we can't always be Yuan Xiao's backing. Yuan Xiao... also has to work hard and make progress. In the future, Mom will still have to rely on you." Mrs. Xu said softly, her eyes a little dazed.
"Dad loves my mother very much, and she and she are a well-known loving couple in the capital. Who in this capital doesn't envy my mother? Can my mother rely on my father?" Lu Yuanxiao said deliberately.
Xu touched his face and swayed slightly.
"Dad..." Mrs. Xu remained silent.
Lu Yuanxiao pursed his lips, feeling slightly uneasy.
After admitting his mistake, he ate with his mother and then secretly inquired around in Tingfeng Garden.
Just woke up.
It was two months after my mother gave birth to Chao Chao, but my father never stayed in the hospital even once. Even when his grandfather's house was confiscated, he never returned home.
His heart was numb.
In his memory, his father was strict but loved his children, and his parents were harmonious and had a great relationship. There is not even an aunt in the house. Back then, a maid wanted to climb into the bed, and the father was furious and sold the maid directly.
The mother was moved to tears.
Over the years, my father has been considerate and considerate, and my mother is willing to run the house for him.
Who in Manjing would not praise his father as a dedicated and good man.
But now, when he suddenly learned that his father had an extramarital affair and even had children, he felt a chill all over his body.
In the past, the book boy coaxed him to skip school, coaxed him to insult his master, and coaxed him to gamble. Now, he only feels fear.
He is the mother's right arm. If he is cut off and cannot be the mother's support, how will the mother live?
That night.
Lu Yuanxiao took out the Four Books and Five Classics that had accumulated dust and sat in front of the window to study them carefully.
