The Xu family is indeed having a headache.
Xu Huixian had not had a good rest to begin with, and because Xu Chong forced her to go to the Su family to apologize and she cried, her health worsened. After kneeling at the door of the Su family for a while, she started bleeding from the nose again. She was carried home by Young Master Xu, and she fainted and has not woken up since.
Young Master Xu gritted his teeth and punched the eaves pillar, then stood under the eaves with a grim look on his face, not saying a word.
He didn't say anything. The servants below stood in a circle, all waiting in fear.
Fortunately, Xu Chong came hurriedly after a while and asked his son: "How is your sister?"
Young Master Xu looked extremely unhappy. He glanced at his father in a very bad mood and shook his head gloomily, "Can he get better? He's still in a coma. The doctor went in to check, but we don't know how he is yet."
He really didn't understand why Xu Huixian had to be forced to go to the Su family to apologize. It wasn't a big deal. The two little girls had a dispute and it had to go to this extent. His father was too strict with himself.
Xu Chong knew that his son was not feeling well, and he himself was also feeling bad. He hurried in to check on his daughter and saw Xu Huixian lying on the bed with a pale face. He stood and stared at her for a while before turning to the doctor and said, "I'm entrusting everything to you. Please take care of me."
The doctor quickly agreed.
Xu Chong went out and saw his son still standing under the eaves with an unhappy look on his face. He stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "Where's your mother?"
Just as she finished speaking, Grandma Xu was surrounded by maids and servants and came back. As soon as she came back, she didn't care about anything else and hurried up the stairs. Seeing her husband and son were there, she hurriedly stopped and asked, "What happened?"
Young Master Xu was angry and hesitated to speak.
Xu Chong gently comforted her: "It's nothing, you know Xian'er always bleeds every once in a while, especially these few days when her mood has been so up and down, it's even more so, it's nothing, don't worry."
How can Grandma Xu feel at ease
She shook off Xu Chong's hand, holding back her tears and shaking her head.
Xu Chong sighed, and seeing his wife like this, he couldn't bear it, so he said softly: "You know, father said that this is also a last resort. Only in this way can we calm the anger of the people, and this is also for Xian'er's own good."
Grandma Xu burst into tears and turned back to her room.
Xu Chong followed in, sighing and asking her, "What happened?"
Grandma Xu snorted. Although she was angry, she still said with tears in her eyes: "The fourth Miss Su's mouth is like a knife. What can I do? No matter what I say, she only asks me whether the Su family has blamed us, whether they have asked us to apologize, and whether we have sent an invitation to the host family first..."
Xu Chong's eyebrows gradually became cold, and he snorted with disgust.
He really takes himself seriously and is not willing to give in.
Seeing that Grandma Xu was crying very pitifully, he stepped forward and gently hugged her in his arms: "Forget it, the Yongding Earl's Mansion has been restored to its title, and the lame man's leg has recovered. In addition, they are dependent on the emperor's eldest grandson. Now that the emperor's eldest grandson has restored his status, they will of course be arrogant for a while."
But it's only for a while, they won't always be so lucky.
Grandma Xu cried in a restrained and painful way: "But what about my poor Xian'er? Now everyone knows that Xian'er had a bad relationship with Su Yao in Qianbao Pavilion. Even if she went to apologize, so what? Do you feel good when your precious treasure in our hands bows down to others like this?"
What can I do if I feel uncomfortable
Xu Chong held Qi's hand and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, everything will be fine when my aunt comes back."
He comforted Madam Xu for a while, and then the maid outside reported through the curtain that the master had returned and asked him to go to the study.
Hearing that it was her father-in-law who had returned, Grandma Xu quickly held back her tears and loosened her grip on Xu Chong's hand: "Then go quickly, don't keep father waiting for too long, he must be asking about what happened today."
Xu Chong nodded and asked her to look after Xu Huixian. He changed his clothes and went straight to the study to find Lord Xu.
Xu Shun came out from behind the screen, holding a scroll in his hand. When he saw him come in, he asked, "How is it?"
As soon as he came back yesterday, he heard the whole process of the conflict between Xu Huixian and Su Yao, so Mr. Xu strictly ordered Grandma Xu to take Xu Huixian to apologize.
Xu Chong hurriedly told her what happened today and made a comment: "This Su Yao is indeed cruel and ruthless. Although she is young, she has a vicious mind. Xian'er only offended her with a few words, but she actually wanted to drag our family into it and make us a target."
How important is reputation to civil servants
After Su Yao's remarks yesterday, even an important official like Lord Xu had to quickly express his attitude - he had countless disciples, but most of them were ordinary people.
Xu Shun was much more patient than his son and daughter-in-law. He blew away the foam in the teacup and said coldly, "What's there to be anxious about? It's normal for someone to refuse to swallow their anger when they have something on you. What's the big deal?"
It all depends on one's ability.
He raised his hand to stop his son, looking at him with a half-smile: "She's just a little girl, why are you arguing with her? Besides, is this what's important now?"
What's there to be afraid of? As Su Yao said, Mr. Xu has come this far after paying so much price and working so hard. What he believes most is to earn a living by one's own ability.
Su Yao used his ability to make the Xu family suffer a loss, and now he is going to return the loss.
He said in a deep voice: "Now that Earl Yongding has inherited the title and recovered, it is time for him to go to court and take up his duties."
The topic changed so quickly that Xu Chong didn't react for a moment and looked at him nervously: "Father..."
Xu Shun said coldly: "I know what you are thinking, why are you in such a hurry? Take your time."
You see, Su Yao tried his best, but what was the result
He easily resolved this so-called public outcry with just one move. Who would bring up this matter again now
Censor Liu no longer wrote that memorial.
The officialdom is like a battlefield. Does the little girl really think that she can be invincible with her eloquence
"I'll let her know what it means when the nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact."
A few days later, in addition to the matter of the emperor's eldest grandson, another thing happened in the court that surprised everyone - the newly appointed Earl of Yongding was appointed commander of Chengde Guard in Hebei.
When Su Rong was young, he was very talented and attracted a lot of attention. However, he had been disabled for so many years, and it was a blessing from heaven that he could stand up and walk again. Now he was the commander of the garrison, and the civil and military officials in the court looked at him with a frown. Some of them were dissatisfied and couldn't help saying in private: "Once the identity of the emperor's eldest grandson was revealed, he would be promoted to a higher position."
