After Xu Jinyu came out suddenly, Butler Liu was frightened, and then he stumbled and said:
"You don't know the stakes. These untouchables have always been despicable and scheming. They may be trying to manipulate you to ask for benefits from the Marquis Mansion!
You are still young now and don't know how dangerous people's hearts are. In this world, where are the parents who don’t love their children? "
As soon as Butler Liu saw Xu Jinyu's face that resembled that of an old marquis, his legs kept trembling, but his eyes couldn't help but look in.
He didn't believe what he said, how could the Xu family still sit still!
Butler Liu raised his eyes and took a look at the farmhouse, which although a little shabby, was neatly tidied up. You must know that women and children live in these courtyards, but they can take care of their living environment so neatly. The owner must be very high-spirited. .
Butler Liu was using words to provoke the Xu family.
Sure enough, as soon as Butler Liu said these words, Mrs. Xu walked out holding the bamboo branch, with anger on her wrinkled face:
"If my old Xu family wants to use Jin Yu to get benefits, then everyone in my Xu family will die!"
Mrs. Xu's angry look played into Butler Liu's hands. Butler Liu flicked his sleeves arrogantly and glanced sideways at Mrs. Xu:
"If you didn't have the idea of asking for benefits, why didn't you persuade the young master? Fools know how to choose between a peasant and a young master from a marquis family. If it weren't for your past friendship, how could the young master stay with all your heart? !”
"Stop spitting on others!"
Mrs. Xu was so angry that she was about to stab the bamboo branch on the ground. The next moment, she saw Xu Jinyu covering her mouth, coughing, and pulling on Mrs. Xu's sleeve:
"Ahem, milk, the bamboo is brittle, I pricked your hand carefully, it's not worth it for this kind of thing."
As soon as Xu Jinyu said these words, Butler Liu's eyes widened angrily:
"You, you, you!"
Xu Jinyu pulled Mrs. Xu to stand behind her. Her frail and frail body stood upright, seeming to have withstood all the wind and rain.
Mrs. Xu raised her eyes and looked at Xu Jinyu's back that could be blown away by a gust of wind. She pursed her lips and felt her eyes sore.
Butler Liu couldn't even say anything he said in anger, but Xu Jinyu looked weak now, but he was not easy to handle. He was neither soft nor hard, and he almost fainted from anger.
"how do I?"
Xu Jinyu lazily raised her eyes and glanced at Butler Liu, who made a sad expression:
"How can you speak vulgarly like that country bumpkin?"
"Oh? Isn't this what you taught me just to watch people prepare dishes? Do you think I can learn it well?"
Xu Jinyu seemed to be talking casually, but there was a bright light in his eyes:
"Besides, I don't like what you said very much. Is there any parent in the world who doesn't love their children? Hey, last year the old sow next door gave birth to two piglets in a litter. What do you think of the weak one?"
"Like, how?"
After hearing what Butler Liu said, the corner of Xu Jinyu's lips suddenly curled up into a smile. Facing the sun, the young man's red peach blossom eyes raised, and the smile on his pink and white lips should have been bright, but it made Butler Liu's heart knot. Really shivered.
"...Of course, it was eaten! First the soft abdomen was eaten, and then the internal organs. When it was discovered in the morning, only the dry outer skin was left."
The young man's smiling voice sounded in Butler Liu's ears, strange and bewitching. Butler Liu's pupils shrank sharply, he took a few steps back, and fell to the ground.
"You, you are joking, they are just beasts."
"Yes, he is a beast."
Xu Jinyu said something profound, then looked down at Butler Liu indifferently:
"In the past twelve years, the Hou Mansion has never come to the door. Let me assume that the Hou Mansion has been deceived by a traitor. So where is the traitor now? How is the Hou Mansion going to deal with it? Will the government report it?"
Butler Liu hesitated and couldn't explain, Xu Jinyu sneered:
"You know, your Excellency, according to my great law: if someone cheats on someone, the principal offender will be hanged, and the accomplice will be exiled for three thousand miles, and his wife, concubines, descendants, and grandchildren will be imprisoned for three years for three generations.①"
"How can I, the majestic prince, do such a thing as buying people? !!"
Butler Liu almost fainted from Xu Jinyu's words. Since the old Marquis was away, the Marquis has not been favored by him. If he is rashly labeled as buying people, the Marquis is afraid that he will be ripped off. Skin!
Xu Jinyu ignored Butler Liu's anger and asked calmly:
"Then please answer the three questions I just asked."
Butler Liu: "..."
Seeing this situation, Xu Jinyu smiled:
"Please, go slowly without seeing me off."
Butler Liu came in a bossy manner and walked away in disgrace. He didn't even dare to raise his head along the way, and the coachman also lowered his bamboo hat and didn't say a word in a sensible manner.
On the other side, Mrs. Xu and Xu Jinyu helped each other (...) to sit on the chairs. As soon as Xu Jinyu sat down, she coughed violently involuntarily.
This body is really too weak. It should be caused by insufficient fetus. Either the fetus is not well nourished, or it is premature.
Naturally, the Hou family will not be able to raise the fetus well, so if no one in the Hou family can recognize a premature baby and a full-term baby, then the whole family will be blinded!
Xu Jinyu thought to himself, and then a bowl of water was placed against his lips. Xu Jinyu looked up and saw that it was Xu's mother looking at him with bright eyes.
Xu Jinyu opened her mouth quickly, took a sip from Xu's mother's hand, and then her eyes lit up:
"Sweet!"
The smile on Xu’s mother’s face was like a flower blooming:
"Da Lang was so majestic today. He drove that old rogue away with just a few words. It's really amazing! This is a piece of sweetened sugar water left over from the Chinese New Year. It's sweet for my Da Lang!"
When Xu's mother remembered what Butler Liu had called outside the door just now, her teeth itched with hatred. Fortunately, they still wanted to let Da Lang go back, but a servant was so domineering. I don't know how much injustice Da Lang would have to suffer if he went back.
Da Lang is also very powerful, and he can refute it in just a few seconds, leaving him speechless!
Mother Xu was only happy at the moment, but Mrs. Xu coughed twice when she heard this, and looked at Xu Jinyu with a complicated look:
"Da Lang, when did you become literate?"
Xu Jinyu lowered his eyes slightly and whispered:
"Milk, it didn't take long. Last year, I saw Liu Xiucai in the village a few times when he was enlightening his son."
What Xu Jinyu didn't say was that the original owner had indeed seen it a few times, but he calculated the time and only went to see it when Liu Xiucai was teaching his son new knowledge.
Although he has a photographic memory, he still thinks about it in his mind after returning home.
After hearing Xu Jinyu's words, Mrs. Xu's voice was slightly astringent:
"So, what about those obscure legal provisions? When did you understand them?"
After hearing what Mrs. Xu said, Xu Jinyu glanced at Mrs. Xu, pursed her lips and whispered:
"Yeah, it didn't take long. When my mother went to deliver embroidery products in the early spring of this year, she asked me to wait outside. There was a bookstore next door, so I went in and took a look."
How many times have you seen it? !
Take a second look? !
After hearing Xu Jinyu's words, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but grab Xu Jinyu's sleeves with trembling hands:
"Jinyu, tell Nai, you, how on earth did you do it?!"
Xu Jinyu was so uncomfortable with Mrs. Xu's reaction that she blushed:
"It's nothing, I just feel like I may have a better memory. For example, the azurite flowered kerchief that I'm currently wearing on my head was what my mother made for you on October 21st three years ago."
October 21st was not a formal day, but it was the second day after Xu's father left home. Mrs. Xu spent the whole night looking south under the tree at the entrance of the village. The next day she had a headache and couldn't get up.
Xu's mother hurriedly made this azurite flower-sprinkled kerchief for Mrs. Xu using the cloth she had saved in the past.
But this was just a small incident, but Xu Jinyu remembered it clearly.
Xu Jinyu knew that although Mrs. Xu didn't care about anything in this family, she was indeed the backbone of the family.
She must understand the stakes here.
Sure enough, as soon as Xu Jinyu said these words, Mrs. Xu's breathing became lighter. She glanced at the silly daughter-in-law and the confused Dani, and tightened her grip on Xu Jinyu's hand, but very carefully. No pinching pain Xu Jinyu:
"Jin Yu, since you are so smart, do you know that if you return to the Hou Mansion, sooner or later you will have the opportunity to achieve great success!"
Xu Jinyu couldn't help but smile after hearing what Mrs. Xu said. Nai really understood what he meant.
Before Xu Jinyu had time to speak, Xu's mother pulled Xu Jinyu over and blocked her:
"Mom, you and Dalang were talking about Peng. What is Peng Wanli? Hey, mom, don't glare at me. I know that Peng is a bird, but our Dalang is so handsome, how can he be a bird?"
Mrs. Xu: "..."
"I should have discovered it a long time ago. How could Jin Yu be so smart as a child of you and your wife?"
Mrs. Xu sighed, then raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Jinyu:
"This kid Jin Yu is hiding too deep! If the Hou Mansion hadn't come to your door this time, when would Jin Yu be planning to let the family know what you are capable of?"
Xu Jinyu lowered his head in shock:
"Miscellaneous, no, it's just...Liu Xiucai said that the imperial examination is the most expensive. I wanted to wait until I have the opportunity to read more books and enter the school so that I can end it early, but I didn't expect this to be used."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu was finally not as calm as before. She hugged Xu Jinyu and cried so hard that she couldn't help herself:
"Jin Yu, Jin Yu! What a wonderful grandson! It's because our Xu family can't stand you! It's because of Nai, it's because your parents are useless, that's why we, Jin Yu, are so worried!"
Xu's mother, who was cueed for no reason, just smiled stupidly.
Xu Jinyu looked at her current family with soft eyes:
"No, grandma, my parents are both fine. I'm very happy to have you and a family like my parents."
"What about us! What about us?!"
The little girl came jumping up and down, and Xu Jinyu smiled:
"The eldest sister and the little sister are also very good!"
"Hehe~"
Because Xu Jinyu had such a "big victory" today, one group of the Xu family was in harmony and harmony. On the other side, Mrs. Chu and the Marquis of Lin'an finally ended their day's gathering and returned to the Marquis' Mansion full of fatigue.
The Marquis of Lin'an first entered the mansion in a sedan. After a moment, Mrs. Chu slowly returned to the mansion. After another half a moment, the current Crown Prince Chu Lingjue rode a horse and hesitated outside the mansion for a long time before turning over and dismounting. , walked into the Hou Mansion.
When the concierge saw this, he couldn't help but whisper:
"Your Majesty, I have always been particular about riding horses across the street in a carefree and unrestrained manner. Why are you so disciplined now?"
When Chu Lingjue walked in honestly, he saw Mrs. Chu, who had been hesitating outside for a long time and finally made up her mind that she would have a country son who would make her embarrassed. Her face was livid.
And the Marquis of Lin'an, who had always been well-educated and was raised to be elegant and easy-going, also had anger in his eyes.
The entire Hou Mansion was shrouded in a dark cloud. Chu Lingjue observed it carefully and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Dad, mother, where is my brother? Is my brother timid and scared? My brother and I are the same age. Should I go and talk to him?"
"Cowardly? He is very brave! He can turn a noble man into a kidnapper who sells human beings!"
The weather in Lin'an was so extreme that people started shooting.
When Chu Lingjue heard this, a trace of imperceptible joy flashed in her eyes, but she said:
"How could this happen, Daddy, is there some misunderstanding?"
