stepson

When they arrived at the courtyard where the eldest lady lived, Su Zhaoxue asked the servants to notify her before entering after receiving a reply.After entering, I saw that the eldest lady was pruning a blooming peony with small scissors.Wang Momo stood aside and tidied up the branches and leaves scattered on the table.

"Yutao showed Mr. Xue some tea." The eldest lady raised her chin and signaled him to sit down.Yutao responded, raised her eyes to look at him, and went out.

"Why did the lady come to see me?" Su Zhaoxue asked strangely.After all, in the mansion, he is not welcomed by others, and the eldest lady can make a great contribution.

As if seeing the suspicion in Su Zhaoxue's eyes, the eldest lady twitched her lips, her smile was mocking and pitiful, her voice was still soft, "Yesterday, your Aunt Liu said that you have grown up and want to move out of the house. She will give you You have bought dozens of acres of land, and you know that she will inevitably favor the two young ones, but don't blame her for giving you so little, you are your own mother and son, it would be bad if you divorced because of this little thing. "

That's strange, did this woman call him here to sow discord?The relationship between him and Aunt Liu has never been good, is there any need for this?And what kind of eyes did this woman look at her just now?Su Zhaoxue murmured in his heart, but his face didn't show anything, he smiled and said: "Why would Da Furen think so, I, as a son, will accept whatever Auntie does, and dare not show any disrespect to her. Auntie How could I blame her for raising me so much?"

What Su Zhaoxue said was the truth. Being unfilial is a serious crime in this era. No matter how much he hated Aunt Liu, he couldn't take action.Aunt Liu can do without his son, but his son cannot do without Aunt Liu.He is not going to be criticized here.Fortunately, what Aunt Liu said today meant that she didn't want to see him again, which relieved Su Zhaoxue a lot, and she didn't have to live under Aunt Liu's cold violence in the future.

Although Su Zhaoxue didn't mean dissatisfaction in her words, the eldest lady heard the meaning of complaining, and smiled secretly in her heart, and said: "You grew up in the waiting mansion, and I also treat you as a son. You left the mansion In the future, it is inevitable that you will not have enough room in your hands, so you can keep these things and live a more relaxed life." After speaking, he gave Wang Momo who was standing beside him a wink.

Wang Momo glanced at Su Zhaoxue, the contempt in his eyes made him clenched his left hand behind his back.She took out a stack of things from her sleeve and handed it to Su Zhaoxue, "Seeing that you are alone, the lady bought another hundred acres of fertile land for you in Sanyuan Village. You should take it easy and show respect to the lady again in the future." Don't provoke the eldest son again, he is not something you can imagine. As a man, don't follow the example of the female cousin in the Lower Jiuliu Tower."

Hearing these humiliating words, Su Zhaoxue was furious in his heart, but his face was still calm, and he looked at Da Furen with an amiable smile: "Zhaoxue already knows Da Furen's intentions. Without him matter, can Zhaoxue leave first?"

The eldest lady put down the scissors, glanced lightly at Wang Momo, and said angrily: "Wang Momo said this is too much, I know that Zhaoxue is a good boy, I don't know who said those words to hurt Zhaoxue. You are an old man by my side, and you also grew up watching Zhaoxue, how do you believe these words?"

Su Zhaoxue was too lazy to watch the pair of master and servant sing double reeds to humiliate him, got up and said, "Thank you for taking care of me, if it's okay, Zhaoxue will go back to pack my luggage, and I will leave the house tomorrow." He put away the land deed, anyway Give things for free, don't take them for free, hmph, want him to be grateful and virtuous?They don't have such big faces.In fact, he didn't want to accept what this woman gave, but if he didn't accept it, who knows what would happen to her. He is now just a kid that everyone can bully, and he can only keep his temper and keep a low profile.Su Zhaoxue sneered at the thought of Su Shihui who made him bear the stigma for nothing.

"Well, I wanted to keep you in the waiting mansion for a while longer, but you also know that your aunt has always been stubborn and made a decision that even the Lord Hou can't persuade her. If you leave the mansion as soon as possible, she will Just take it easy, good boy, I just wronged you."

When Su Zhaoxue came out of Da Furen's courtyard, she felt relaxed. After leaving the waiting mansion, even if she asked him to come back, he would not come back. The people here are really disgusting.Don't bully the young man to be poor, he will come back with revenge sooner or later.

Back in his courtyard, he saw Mingbao, the boy he bought, swinging a bamboo stick indiscriminately, hitting the leaves of the tree and falling into the courtyard.Su Zhaoxue picked up a stone, flicked her fingers with a hint of dark energy, and knocked off the bamboo stick in Ming Bao's hand, saying: "Hurry up and pack your luggage, and leave the residence with me tomorrow."

"Oh, just now that girl Yutao came to look for the young master. I asked for a long time and she didn't tell me anything. Hmph, I really look down on people. The lady is not looking for the young master just because of this, right? The young master should propose to leave the mansion by himself, let They mentioned it as if they were driven away by them. Hey, if you want me to say that the young master left the Hou's mansion early to travel the rivers and lakes to steal the rich and help the poor, it would be so refreshing, the young master will definitely be able to earn the title of a hero with all his martial arts." Ming Bao was only ten years old. One or two years old, a bit verbose, he can't stop talking non-stop when he opens his mouth.

"Okay, hurry up and pack your things. If you say one more word, I won't take you away, and let you stay here alone." Mingbao has a lively and active personality, and he is also clever.Su Zhaoxue likes it somewhat, treats Ming Bao with the mentality of an elder, raises Ming Bao to be a ghost, and is not afraid of him at ordinary times.

"That can't be done. I was bought by the young master, not by their waiting mansion. My master is you, young master. You can't leave me here. If you leave me here, Mingbao will be beaten by them in a few days." Die." Ming Bao thought of a boy who had played well with him in the past, accidentally knocked off a vase in the Hou Ye's mansion and broke it, and the lady rewarded the boy with dozens of boards, so he got down and hid on the bed. After half a month, I didn't survive and died.At that time, he still brought him the wound medicine given by the son, but he still couldn't save him, which made Mingbao cry for several days.

Thinking of the methods of the masters in the house, Ming Bao shivered, and rushed into the house to pack his luggage.Su Zhaoxue saw that Mingbao's face turned blue and white, and she didn't know what to make up, so she smiled helplessly, stepped into the room, and followed suit to pack her luggage.

After dinner, Su Zhaoxue was about to leave the house to eat and drink, but when she thought that she would leave tomorrow, she was in an unusually good mood.As soon as he walked out of the small courtyard where he lived, he saw Su Shiliang bringing his servant over.

Su Shiliang is his younger brother, the son of Aunt Liu. He is thirteen years old and is studying at the ethnology school. He seldom sees each other on weekdays.Could it be that he knew that he was leaving the Hou Mansion and came to see him off?Thinking of this, Su Zhaoxue smiled knowingly.Su Shiliang has an average relationship with him, only a little better than a stranger.When he was young, Su Zhaoxue wanted to take him with him, but Aunt Liu refused to let him get close to Su Shiliang.

Su Shiliang was only thirteen years old, but he heard that he was talented and learned well, so he was very much loved by the Hou Ye.Although he is a concubine, Lord Hou regards him as a concubine and cultivates him.Although she doesn't see her a few times on weekdays, Su Zhaoxue has a good feeling for this younger brother.At least it was much better than Aunt Liu and Su Wanxin.

"Shiliang, why do you sometimes come to brother's place today?" Su Zhaoxue smiled with a very amiable attitude.

"I heard from Sister Wanxin that my brother will leave the house tomorrow. These are my brother's daily savings, please accept them." The servant behind Su Shiliang handed a box to Su Zhaoxue.

Su Zhaoxue waved her hands again and again, "Your monthly allowance is limited, so you should keep it for yourself. My brother has the land deed from my mother, which is enough."

"Brother, let's accept it. Mother said that you will not go back to the Hou Mansion in the future. You live outside and don't have much money. How can you do it?" Su Shiliang sighed and complained: "If it wasn't for my brother to do that shameful After all, my mother will not let my elder brother leave the mansion. I hope that after my elder brother leaves the mansion, he will not flirt with men. How can a man act like a woman. If my elder brother is old and his color fades, How will you live?"

Su Shiliang frowned, with a heartbroken look on his face. If he had done such a heinous thing, but he had a sincere face. Su Zhaoxue didn't know how to explain it, so he just asked: "My brother heard some tongue-twisting words from the servant. Just believe that brother is such a person, could it be that brother is unbearable in my brother's heart?"

"If my brother didn't say something that would be misunderstood, how could such words come out?" Su Shiliang looked at him suspiciously.

Su Zhaoxue was at a loss for words, if it was said that Su Shihui had evil intentions, he would definitely not believe it.Su Zhaoxue didn't want to defend this matter any more, no one would believe him no matter how much he said, a feeling of desolation filled his heart, he glanced at the box in the servant's hand, and said, "I'm afraid my brother's kindness can't be tolerated by my brother, why don't you accept it?" Brother, please take it back."

After leaving this sentence, he turned his head and went back to the courtyard where he lived, and closed the courtyard door tightly, leaving Su Shiliang stunned in place with a look of astonishment on his face.
