The news that Mrs. Xu fell down in Cirentang and broke her arm and leg quickly spread in the capital.
As the news spread, the situation in the capital suddenly became very delicate.
The Xu Mansion, which consists of three sects and three masters, is the most distinguished person. And the reason why the number one among them is the boss is Mrs. Xu.
After receiving the news at Duke Dingguo's mansion, Xu Shuo hesitated for a long time and finally decided to go to Xu's mansion.
Although he was once kicked out of the Xu Mansion by Mrs. Xu, everything had changed when he returned after becoming famous. Of course, Xu Shuo did not go back to Xu Mansion for the sake of fighting for his breath and face.
But in this situation, Old Mrs. Xu fell and fell very hard.
For an elderly lady, such a fall or accident may lead to her death.
What happened twenty years ago, the secret behind it, is unknown to outsiders, but Xu Shuo himself knows it. Although he was against it at the time, he later compromised.
Therefore, he was not actually innocent about what happened twenty years ago.
Not seeing Mrs. Xu, his own mother, was partly because he had a hard time getting over it, and partly because he wanted his mother to regret it.
Xu Shuo originally thought that he was different now, but when the eldest princess revealed her true colors in front of him and treated him like a dog, Xu Shuo suddenly realized that he had not changed anything.
He thought about getting acquainted with Mrs. Xu, mother and son, and borrowing the help of his mother, Mrs. Xu, to suppress the eldest princess. But when he first returned to the capital, he didn't get to know his mother. If he wanted to get acquainted again, he would lose that Entry point.
Now, Mrs. Xu has fallen, which is an excellent entry point for Xu Shuo.
"Don't go!"
However, when Xu Shuo was about to go to the Xu Mansion to visit his mother, Mrs. Xu, the eldest princess and her people stopped him.
"Step aside!"
Xu Shuo looked at the eldest princess coldly. This was his best chance to see his mother. If he misses this opportunity, he will completely miss the chance to return to Xu Mansion.
And without his mother as a backer, he could only live under the power of the eldest princess.
As a man, Xu Shuo naturally did not want to be suppressed by the eldest princess all the time.
"Not bad, I have a long temper!"
The eldest princess looked coldly at Xu Shuo who contradicted her, and sneered, "Do you want to go back and recognize mother and son now?"
"Want to use your mother's hand to suppress me?"
"I'm afraid you didn't wake up!"
"To be a dog, you should have the consciousness to be a dog!"
"Sometimes, if a dog doesn't obey, he will be killed!"
The eldest princess snorted coldly and said sternly: "Watch the Duke, if he wants to leave the house, then break his legs!"
"Li Zi, you are crazy!"
When Xu Shuo heard the order given by the eldest princess to the female guards around him, he was about to explode with rage.
"Palm mouth!"
The eldest princess shouted coldly.
Then, a real female guard stepped forward and waved her hand towards Xu Shuo's face.
Xu Shuo was also fierce. Before the female guard's hand fell on his face, he had already taken the first step and slapped him back, sending the female guard flying away.
"Break his legs!"
Seeing Xu Shuo take action, the eldest princess showed a cold and cruel smile on her face.
The next moment, the female guards took action and threw out a fishing net, covering Xu Shuo who was on guard in the fishing net.
Bang!
Bang!
Two muffled sounds sounded almost at the same time.
The two female guards swung their sticks at the same time and hit Duke Ding Xu Shuo's legs and knees hard. The terrifying burst of power directly shattered the kneecaps of Xu Shuo's legs.
The kneecap was shattered. With the current medical conditions, Xu Shuo was completely disabled.
"Vicious woman!"
"Vicious woman!"
"You must die a happy death!"
Xu Shuo did not scream, but looked at the eldest princess bitterly.
He should have thought of it earlier.
This woman was so vicious that she would not hesitate to transfer disaster to her own son in order to change her own life. Such a snake-hearted woman had treated him like a dog before, and he was stupid to imagine that this woman could have a conscience.
"If you don't repent, slap me!"
The eldest princess heard Xu Shuo's curse and immediately gave the order.
This time, Xu Shuo was unable to resist and could only be beaten passively.
After a while, his face became swollen.
Xu Shuo hated the eldest princess in his heart, so much that he wanted to eat her alive. However, he knew very well that the situation was stronger than the person. The eldest princess has an absolute advantage, and every curse he curses now is causing trouble for himself.
Therefore, Xu Shuo shut his mouth.
The eldest princess saw Xu Shuo and stopped talking, regardless of whether Xu Shuo resented her in his heart. No matter whether Xu Shuo resented her or not, she didn't care.
She only needs Xu Shuo, the Duke of Dingguo, to be alive, then everything will be no problem.
"Go and ask for the imperial doctor!"
"By the way, the news is that the Duke heard that Mrs. Xu had fallen. He was so excited that he also fell. He also broke his legs, both legs!"
"yes!"
After receiving the instructions from the eldest princess, the female guard naturally took action firmly.
Not long after, the news spread that Duke Dingguo also broke his leg.
Therefore, without anyone's guidance, some people thought that the mother and son, Mrs. Xu and Xu Shuo, had gone away and memorized words. Some even thought that the mother and son had done too many bad things and had suffered retribution.
Mrs. Xu is very famous in the capital, and Duke Ding is also a hero guarding the border.
This is the common understanding of the two people in the capital.
But this time, someone spread the news about the Zhao family in the past twenty years.
The legitimate daughter of the Zhao family in the capital, who was rich as a country and received a dowry, eventually died of illness. The only son, who lived in a foreign country, only returned to the capital through his military exploits.
Mr. Xu, Marquis Wu Cheng!
Xu Laoer, Uncle Yongwu!
Zhao's sons and grandsons all showed the magnificence of being a dragon among men.
As for the current children and grandchildren of Mrs. Xu and Xu Shuo, none of them are successful.
…
Things happening behind the gate of the mansion can easily attract the attention of ordinary people.
This time Mrs. Xu and Xu Shuo, mother and son, broke their legs one after another, and the people couldn't help but think too much.
For a time, the reputation of the mother and son became bad.
But both of them could only lie down on the bed, unable to hear the news from outside at all.
Xu Shuo was placed under house arrest by the eldest princess, and he was surrounded by female guards who were loyal to the eldest princess. The eldest princess deliberately kept him from knowing these things, so he naturally had no way of knowing.
As for Mrs. Xu, the Sea-Dinging Needle of the Xu Mansion, Duke Changle and Yong'an still need her to be in charge of the Xu Mansion. Naturally, they don't want her to be affected by these rumors, so they naturally hide it from her.
Mrs. Xu's confidants were also worried about Mrs. Xu's health and did not dare to talk nonsense.
As a result, the rumors outside became more and more fierce, and even gradually approached the truth.
However, the two parties involved knew nothing and were completely kept in the dark. (End of chapter)
