Chapter 11 Apologize
Facing Mrs. Hou's words, Taoyue did not dare to disobey.

The strength in her hands became slightly looser.

Even though Xu Jiaqi is very thoughtful, he is still young and has been imprisoned by Taoyue, so he has become temperamental.

Seeing that the strength in his body was reduced, he immediately pushed hard.

Taoyue didn't expect that a child could be so strong and was pushed to the ground.

"Peach Moon."

He Yue quickly stepped forward to help Tao Yue up.

Although Taoyue was a maid, she had always been with Xie Lingyu and had not done any chores. There was some gravel on the ground, and her palms were bleeding.

She gasped in pain.

Seeing her fall, Xu Jiaqi walked around her and walked towards Xie Lingyu, wanting to act coquettishly towards her.

But as soon as he raised his head, he met Xie Lingyu's stern gaze.

"Yesterday I pushed my sister, and today I pushed my maid. It's so bad."

"Oh, he just wants to be more noisy and lively. This proves that Brother Qi has a flexible mind!"

Song said with a smile.

Xu Jiaqi didn't expect to be reprimanded again.

So what if you push a few people?
When he was at home, he pushed the maid down, and his parents praised him for his strength and that he was a good young man in martial arts!

This aunt is not good at all.

She is prettier than my mother, but much worse than her!
His parents asked him to please her. Who could please such a vicious woman?
Xu Jiaqi had tears in his eyes and felt extremely aggrieved.

Mrs. Li, who arrived late, felt the tense atmosphere. She was confused for a moment and asked jokingly: "Why are you standing outside? Are you waiting for me?"

Behind her were also the elderly and famous members of the Xu clan.

Song gave her a disgusted look and didn't care much about those clan members.

Their Xuanwuhou Mansion is the most outstanding among the Xu clan. Even if it is slightly declining now, it cannot be compared with others.

However, for the sake of etiquette, he still said hello to everyone.

Then he turned around and continued to comfort Xie Lingyu.

"There are important things today, so don't waste time on such a trivial matter."

"Xu Jiaqi, apologize to Taoyue."

Xie Lingyu's cold voice was filled with chill and could not be refused.

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.

Taoyue also waved her hands repeatedly, "Madam, I just fell down, it doesn't matter."

Master Qi is the young master of the house, how can he apologize to a maid?

Besides, Mrs. Hou dotes on the young master so much, so don’t blame her wife for this matter.

Mrs. Song also frowned: "Brother Qi doesn't know the importance, and you don't know the importance either. Brother Qi is the direct young master of the house, how can he apologize to a maid? Aunt Zhou, give the little maid some reward money, and she hurt herself. Go to the doctor."

"The legitimate young master? He hasn't been included in the family tree yet. Where did the legitimate young master come from? He is just a distant relative. If he does something wrong, he should apologize. His mother raised him to be arrogant and domineering and does not know how to bow his head. I am afraid that he will not be able to bow his head if he enters officialdom in the future. Can’t go far.”

Xie Lingyu refused to give in at all.

It makes no sense to bully the people around her. Just because she is young and has a high status, she can easily brush it off.

Moreover, in terms of status, Xu Jiaqi's child, who was given birth to a child privately and without a matchmaker, may not be more noble than the first-class maid next to her.

"Yes, tempering a child's mind is the most important thing."

An old and steady voice came.

The clansmen in the courtyard also tacitly cleared a path.

The eldest elder of the Xu clan came tremblingly, leaning on a cane and hunching his back.

There were people around who wanted to lend a hand, but he refused.

Xu Xian walked slowly to the front, smiled and said to Xie Lingyu, "Little girl from the Xie family, do you still recognize me?"

Xie Lingyu's face showed respect: "When Lingyu was a child, he often saw Elder Xu discussing matters with his grandfather. My grandfather once said that Elder Xu is famous all over the world and has a wealth of knowledge. Lingyu has always kept it in mind."

"Hahaha." Xu Xian couldn't help laughing. His hair and beard were all white, and his smile was quite fairy-like.

"Children really shouldn't be arrogant. The prince was too arrogant back then. Once Lord Marquis passed away, the prince couldn't support the prince's mansion. And..." Xu Xian didn't say the next words, but everyone present knew it in their hearts.

The prince went to the border to escape.

Wasn't it just to get married before leaving so that the legitimate daughter of the Xie family would be in charge of the palace?
Mrs. Song's face was full of embarrassment.

She had given birth to Huai'er with great difficulty, so she had naturally pampered her since childhood, but she had never let Huai'er study or practice martial arts.

Elder Xu's words seemed to indicate how bad her Huai'er was.

If it had been anyone else, Mrs. Song would not have suffered these words in vain, but it was Elder Xu.

Although Elder Xu has become an official, he was once a member of Zhongshushe. As soon as he became an official, he was elected as the chief elder of the Xu clan.

Although the official rank is not too high, the status of a civil servant is more respected than that of a military general.

Therefore, when Mr. Hou was still alive, he also showed great respect to Elder Xu.

"Brother Qi, please apologize to that maid."

Mrs. Song patted Xu Jiaqi's shoulder twice and signaled him to do so.

After all, how old is Xu Jiaqi? So many people are accusing him, and he feels aggrieved. Now he is crying in the direction of Taoyue and shouting: "I'm sorry, but I didn't mean it!"

"And the sister you pushed yesterday."

Xie Lingyu pointed at Xu Muhuan who was hiding behind and standing with Xu Jiaxu.

Xu Jiaqi reluctantly said, "I'm sorry."

Xu Muhuan was flattered when Xie Lingyu mentioned her.

Xu Jiaqi usually pushed her and pinched her, but her mother just said a few words lightly and then moved on. This was the first time that someone noticed her and stood up for her.

The little man's heart felt inexplicably warm.

Xie Lingyu was dissatisfied with such a casual apology, but he also knew that this might be the lowest they could accept.

With so many people watching, Xie Lingyu also wanted to save some face for her nominal mother-in-law.

"Elder Xu is here today to enter the family tree for the three children."

Elder Xu nodded, "The eldest daughter-in-law came to us."

"There's no rush."

Mrs. Song glanced at Mrs. Li and said.

Elder Xu had a serious look on his face: "This is related to the enlightenment of several children, joining the clan, studying in the academy, and then the scientific examination. How can we delay it!"

"Can……"

Song was still hesitant.

She knew that her children should be educated, but after entering the family tree, it was difficult to change it.

"I am Chao Chongwen. Even if you enter the military camp and become a military general, you must have some poetry and literary talent, and be able to read military books, and your path to promotion will be better. Children's enlightenment cannot be delayed, it is related to their lives. Don't do it because of some trivial matters. Missed the future."

Xie Lingyu said.

Mrs. Song's face was full of confusion.

Mrs. Li was watching from the side, and it had nothing to do with her anyway. Although it was recorded in the name of Dafang, with the attitude of her mother-in-law, she was afraid that the two children would not be raised by her.

But Li felt like she had forgotten something.

When I asked the maid next to me, she also shook her head and said she didn't know.

It wasn't until a tall figure came from a distance from the courtyard gate that Li suddenly realized.

She forgot to inform the uncle about this.

The maid obviously remembered it too.

The two looked at each other, then moved away in tacit understanding, and then looked for the pillar, trying to avoid Xu Hanhai's sight.

When Xu Hanhai woke up today, he found that the person next to him was already up.

He was also surprised that his wife had become so virtuous and sensible. This was the first time in the past few years that she got up early except for the day of tea ceremony.

It turns out I came to join in the fun.

Let him see what's going on?
