Xu Xingrou, whose head was buzzing with pain, calmed down for a while, raised her eyes and met Xu Zhiyan's eyes. Like a hedgehog, she immediately exploded her thorns and screamed hoarsely.

Every word is extremely ugly.

Xu Yanqing's face turned cold, and he exerted force on his hands. Xu Xingrou's arm was completely deformed. As soon as he let go, the arm hung by his side in a strange posture.

"If I hear you say anything wrong about my sister again, I will cut off your tongue and sew your mouth shut."

His voice was not loud enough for Xu Xingrou to hear, but the coldness in his tone made people shiver violently. After the fear dissipated, a vague envy followed.

She envied Xu Zhiyan's brother for protecting her so much.

His only brother didn't care about him that much... No, it seemed that not only he didn't care, but he didn't care at all, otherwise he wouldn't have cared about him so far.

Thinking of this, she felt a little dazed.

It seems that I have always been helpless.

After my mother was arrested, my father, who had always respected and relied on me, also lost all affection in his memory.

Everything has changed.

Or maybe, she never had it.

"Ah."

"Xu Zhiyan, you are lucky."

Xu Zhiyan pursed her lips, walked out from behind Xu Yanqing, and looked down at Xu Xingrou, whose face was bloodless.

"Is your life bad?"

"Lin Wanniang is not a good person. Although she beats and scolds you, her maternal love cannot be faked."

"As for Xu Ziying, before he reconciled with my mother, he was also very kind to you. Anyone who sees it will think that you are a truly harmonious and happy family, but people cannot have everything."

"You can't have your cake and eat it too, you should understand this."

Xu Zhiyan was extremely happy after saying this.

[Fortunately, I have never longed for father's love, otherwise I would definitely be pissed to death. Fortunately, my mother and brothers love me very much. I have more surging love than others. 】

She pursed her lips, but still couldn't suppress her joy, and turned her head to smile at Xu Yanqing with curved eyebrows.

"Brother, let someone send her to the government. Let's go back first."

"it is good."

Xu Yanqing recruited his servants to escort Xu Xingrou to the government, and he escorted Xu Zhiyan to the private room reserved by his second brother for dinner. As soon as he sat down, Xu Yanhe teased him about his skill.

He pouted.

"It's true that people talk a lot. It has only been a while since the news has spread here. I guess there are not many good words. After all, Xu Xingrou is a woman. They must say that I am taking advantage of my power to bully others, right?"

Xu Zhiyan was very angry after hearing this and banged the table loudly.

"Is that really what people say? Hey, I have a bad temper. I have to show them what it means to bully others!"

Xu Yanhe was helpless, "Can you two just listen to what I say before you lose your temper? These donkeys have exactly the same temperament. Even if you don't look at your face, you can tell that you two are brothers and sisters."

"Although the rumors are a bit ridiculous, they really don't say anything bad about you, little brother. They are all talking about Xu Ziying's romantic rumors. Even Xu Ziying has been suspended several times over the years because of such rumors. This time. , Xu Ziying has to do it even if he doesn’t want to."

The royal family had long been dissatisfied with Xu Ziying's behavior.

In the past, part of the reason why people continued to serve as officials was because of the Hua family. Now that Hua Rong is separated from Renhe, it is impossible for the Hua family to avoid him, so there is no need to worry about the Hua family anymore.

Xu Yanhe leisurely handed the cups filled with tea to his younger brothers and sisters, as well as his eldest brother who had just walked in. He looked into his eyes and said the last words. "The Xu family is coming to an end."

……

Xu Ziying received the imperial edict to be dismissed from office on the same day.

He was struck by lightning.

"Father, is there any misunderstanding in this? I have worked hard these years, strictly implemented every decree issued by the Holy One and achieved satisfactory results. How could the Holy One suddenly terminate my official position?"

The father-in-law did not take back the hand that handed over the imperial edict, his expression remained the same.

"Master Xu, how can our family understand the Holy Heart? We only know that this imperial edict was issued by the Holy One after careful consideration. Master Xu, please hurry up and accept the edict."

After repeated speculation, it means that there is no error in this imperial edict.

His decades-long official career is really going to end here.

He slowly stretched out his hand toward the imperial edict with a wooden face. When he was about to touch it, the old lady Xu who was kneeling beside him suddenly became angry and rushed forward to snatch the imperial edict.

"The Holy One must have misunderstood something. My children are respectful and respectful to their elders, and they are dedicated to official duties!"

She could only repeat these few words over and over, but these words were too pale. Not only did they not have the desired effect, but they also annoyed her father-in-law. He lost his expression and looked at her indifferently.

"Is the old lady trying to resist the decree?"

Xu Ziying suddenly came back to his senses.

Grab the imperial edict and kowtow to lead it.

The father-in-law's mission was completed. He didn't want to stay here for a moment longer, so he turned around and led the people back in force.

Old Mrs. Xu sat on the ground dejectedly.

"Why did it become like this!"

Xu Ziying wiped his face and said, "Okay, don't say that these are gone. Hurry up and pack your things. We have to move out as soon as possible."

Mrs. Xu's eyes widened, "Why?"

"Why else? It's just because this house was awarded to officials by the emperor at that time. Now that I have been dismissed from office, this house will definitely be taken back. Rather than being kicked out, it is better for us to take a step forward."

Mrs. Xu couldn't accept it, and Xu Liuyin was even more unwilling.

"Where can we move to?"

Xu Ziying was already upset. When he was stimulated by Xu Liuyin's sharp and loud voice, the veins in his temples throbbed even more violently. The stinging sensation made his eyes darken, and he even picked up something in his hand and threw it out to vent his anger.

"What's the fuss about? Don't we still have a few other courtyards and shops? Let's move to the other courtyards first and run the shop well, and we can still live a good life."

The shop that Lin Wanniang opened before has a good location. If it is reorganized, it will be no problem to earn three meals a day from it. But when facing his words, the expressions of Mrs. Xu and Xu Liuyin showed a little guilty. He felt A little thump.

"What's your expression?"

Mrs. Xu lowered her head and did not dare to look at Xu Ziying.

"Son, our family no longer has a courtyard or shop. Because of Lin Wanniang's incident, our shop's profits were very poor. In order not to lose money, I closed the shop, but the shop closed and there was no revenue. My family My expenses can no longer support me, so I have no choice but to sell the shop.”

"But it was only how much money, and it wasn't enough at all, so..." She quickly glanced at Xu Ziying, "So I sold off the remaining property."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ziying was so angry that he threw his head back and fainted.

When he woke up, he was already in the house. Mrs. Xu and the others were gathered around the bed. They were relieved to see that he was awake. However, before he could say a few words, Xu Ziying caught him. Wrist. (End of chapter)
