The matter about Xu family, although Xu ChangAn was not satisfied with Xu Yongnian’s end, he was not planning to continue to do anything to Xu family. As for Xu Yinghui and her twin brother, they were even the least of his concerned. So, even after meeting Xu Yinghui for a day, he was not prepared for the dilemma. He just thought that whatever Xu Yinghui asked for today, he would not respond without any exceptions.
Xu Yinghui was forced to come to Xu ChangAn's place. On that day, she met the Fourth Prince and still had the token from the Fourth Prince; she thought that her good luck was coming. Who knew that she never saw the Fourth Prince again since that day? The day before yesterday, she personally went to seek out the Fourth Prince’s residence with a shy face, but she didn’t even get to enter the Fourth Prince Residence's gate.
The servant guarding the gate had actually stopped her and refused to let her in!
More than that! Xu Yinghui failed to ask for a small advantage from the Fourth Prince's place, and her live at home was not easy either. She did not expect that the old woman in the family recovered slowly after her mother’s death. The old woman not only could turn her body over, she could also speak and naturally her (XYH) mother's previous actions got told off by the old woman!
Father had always been filial, after knowing what her mother had done before, he felt no guilt at all, even complained about her and her brother, and even really missed Xu ChangAn!
“Big brother, grandmother and father all miss you dearly. Grandmother’s body is about to fail, even if she had made a lot of mistakes before, she really has not many days left. Just go back to see her.” Xu Yinghui’s words were not fake; now the old Liu-shi had already regarded Xu ChangAn, that grandson as the thorn in her side. Now she really regretted that she saw the wrong person and hated that she destroyed Xu family. She really wanted to see her grandson. As for Xu Yongnian, he was looking forward to Xu ChangAn’s return. In addition to sincerely wanting to be reconciled with his son, as long as Xu ChangAn returns, it would be a signal to the outside society that he and the Xian Wangfei had broken the ice and reconciled. In this way, the society would fear and envy his relationship with the Xian Wang Residence, and the situation of Xu family would improve a lot now.
“Grandmother always loves you and second brother.  Even meeting me is also reluctantly. Now that grandmother is very ill, why aren't you waiting in front of grandmother? What are you doing here wasting time? It’s not that I won’t go, but I knew grandmother's thought. I’m afraid that when I go, I’ll angered grandmother and make her old body’s condition worsen." Humph! Grandmother was seriously ill? Did you still want to press him with filial piety? Xu Yongnian was filial, so he listened and followed his mother’s words to do whatever toward Xu ChangAn's mother to even injuring her! Speaking of filial piety, as a son himself, how could he do filial piety at his mother's bed?
Even though the person was his aged paternal grandmother, Xu ChangAn felt no guilt at all. He had never received a grandmother’s affection from that person since he was a child. Why should he go and act pretentiously to disgust himself now?
“Go back, I’m not feeling well these days. The imperial physician said that I should properly nurse my health, and Wangye also did not let me go out. Chunyu, see the visitor out!"
“Yes, Young Master!” Xu ChangAn’s casual rhetoric made Chunyu’s face proud immediately! When she thought of the days the young master was bullied by Xu family, she was not polite to Xu Yinghui. She stood in front of her young master to bar the way and let the small maidservant to see the visitor out.
“Send Young Lady Xu out of the residence, and tell the people outside that Young Lady Xu’s grandmother is seriously ill. In the future, don’t let Young Lady Xu waste time in the residence. Otherwise it's not good for Young Lady Xu’s filial piety in front of her grandmother to be delayed." What was the meaning of Chunyu’s words? The maidservants understood; they didn’t have to let Young Lady Xu into the residence in the future.
Xu Yinghui’s main purpose of coming today had not yet been stated. How could she easily leave? Seeing the maidservant was about to walk people off, she hurried directly toward Xu ChangAn, and then reached out to hold Xu ChangAn’s hand!
"Big brother! Big brother, we are all Xu family's member. We are bound together for good and ill ah!"
“What are you doing? Quickly, let go of me!” Xu ChangAn was going to shake off the person immediately, but he didn’t know where Xu Yinghui's great strength came from that he could not even shake her off with all of his strength!
Xu Yinghui was unexpectedly so shameless, Xu ChangAn could even move. Chunyu really did not expect to see the disgusting expression on the young master’s face. Chunyu and the maidservants at the side rushed forward to pull people apart, but they did not expect Xu Yinghui to actually jump on the ground and hold Xu ChangAn’s feet!
“What are you doing?” Xu ChangAn got really angry, and at the same time there were some complaints to Xiao QingYan, who told him to go meet her. All right! Now he could not get rid of people!
“Big Brother, Big Brother, I still have something to say to you, you let me finish first! I’ll go after that. I really will go after that!” What if she could marry off into the Fourth Prince Residence, even if it was only as a concubine? When she gave birth to the prince’s flesh and blood, she still would not have to worry about riches and honor all her life. “Chunyu, you let go! You, let go of your hand, or I’ll have you thrown out at once!” Xu ChangAn endured and endured, only to resist the impulse to kick Xu Yinghui’s head directly, but he could not guarantee that Xu Yinghui would not let go, he still could continue to endure!
The maidservants stopped pulling, Xu Yinghui relaxed a little, and also knew that Xu ChangAn was not a deceptive person, she naturally put her hands down. Then, she slowly bent to get up and afterwards she knelt down. Xu Yinghui was a pampered and spoiled since childhood to growing up. Although she could even lose her face for the sake of her purpose, but in the end she was still uncomfortable. After getting up, her face was full of tears and her eyes were red. It actually looked pitiful.
“Big brother, you are now a Wangfei, but after all, you are a man and cannot have children. Even if Xian Wang loves you now, you will still have a hard day. Xian Wang and His Fourth Highness are brothers from the same parents, and there need not say much about their feelings. On that day, I met Fourth Prince outside the Xian Wang Residence; His Highness likes me and gifted me with a token. But now Xu family is declining, and I as a woman can't go to his door by myself. I beg Big Brother to help me and take me to His Fourth Highness' residence! I can assure you! As long as the Fourth Highness sees me, he will let me stay. We are siblings, when I give birth for His Highness' heir in the future, my son with Fourth Highness will also be your and Xian Wang's nephew. Xian Wang will always be kind to you when he looks at that child!”
“Humph! But Wang did not know that my Wangfei's life in the next day depended on a son born to a lowly slave girl?" The people in the room did not know when Xiao QingYan came, but what Xiao QingYan said in his mouth meant; the people in the room all knew it!
Xu ChangAn was still digesting Xu Yinghui’s words just now. By the time the response came, he was outraged! There were so many flowers in the world… Could she be too ignorant or naive? Did she think everyone was like Xu Yongnian and her shameless mother?
“Xian Wang? Chen-nu[1] Xu Yinghui, paying respect to Xian Wang."
“Humph! A lowly slave girl should call herself Chen-nu? Who gave you the nerve? Did you regard my Great Xiao's laws and decrees as nothing? People, come in. Take this lowly slave girl and give her twenty mouth slaps! Then throw her out of the residence, and don't let her come to the residence again in the future!" Xiao QingYan’s anger was not only because of Xu ChangAn, but also because Xu Yinghui even scheming Xiao QingYu!
In the year of his Imperial Mother’s death, he swore in front of his Imperial Mother’s bed that he would protect his younger brother from being bullied. Although this woman did not have the ability to bully QingYu, but her way of thinking was still very repulsive!
How could QingYu’s children, his nephews come from the stomach of such vicious villain?
Xu Yinghui did not even respond before she was pulled out by Xiao QingYan's bodyguard. Xu ChangAn didn’t care about her howling outside, he was curious about what Xiao QingYan meant. It was Xiao QingYan who caused the trouble and it was also Xiao QingYan who helped him resolve it. Was Xiao QingYan deliberately embarrassing Xu Yinghui?
“The opinions of those insignificant people do not have to be minded. Moreover, nowadays no one in the capital city will say badly to you.” The fortune of the Mister Storytellers who have a tongue in one's head in the capital city had dragged down. Now in the capital city, a lot of people knew that little affair of Xu family and hardly any people talked about what Xu family did to Xian Wangfei. Today Xu Yinghui came to Xian Wang Residence and made such trouble. Tomorrow, perhaps those Mister Storytellers would write new sketch. Most of the people sympathized with the weak, but the people trusted more in Heaven's Law of clear and appropriate retribution. Now the end of Xu family was just that they ate their own fruit.
