Rebirth of the second ex-husband

Chapter 384 Dismiss Ji Concubine
Looking at the people dressed in different clothes in the hall, Xiao Nianyou felt an indescribable sense of desolation in his heart—these are his family members, his lover who used to laugh at his knees and confide in his ears, but now he really wants to leave him and go.

Xiao Nianyou saw that they didn't speak, he knew that those who should go would always go, and they couldn't stay.

The concubines were kneeling in the hall in fear, Xiao Nianyou just waved his hand to get them up, turned to the butler and said: "Each of them will give them 300 taels as travel expenses, don't make things difficult for them, let them go."

The little concubine who was kneeling on the ground was very surprised when she heard Xiao Nianyou's words, but also felt quite guilty, but more fortunate, she bowed to Xiao Nianyou a few times, and left with gratitude.

Xiao Nianyou felt a little tired in his heart, he just waved them all down, and then went back to the study alone.

Xiao Nianyou quietly looked out the window, looked at the moon in the sky, his unceasing thoughts were like white clouds under the moonlight in the sky, far away and scattered.

Although the moon outside the window still looks very round, if you look carefully, there are actually some losses.

After the full moon, it is bound to lose the moon.

Xiao Nianyou sighed, this is destined to be a sleepless night.

The world is not benevolent and treats all things as dogs, and the operation of nature will never change with people's hearts.

The next morning, the sun still rose as promised, and it seemed warmer and more beautiful than yesterday.

When Xiao Nianyou opened his eyes on the desk, he felt that the sun was a bit dazzling, so he subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands.

The maid who was going to serve Xiao Nianyou saw Xiao Nianyou's appearance, suddenly the copper basin in her hand fell to the ground, and the washing water spilled all over the floor.The butler outside the door was going to report something, but when he heard the sound of the copper basin falling to the ground, he hurried over, thinking that some ignorant maid must have offended the young master again, the Xiao mansion has been restless these past two days, why is there still This careless girl must be scolded.

When the butler entered the door and was about to scold the maid, he saw Xiao Nianyou's appearance and opened his mouth in surprise, "Young...young...young master..."

The butler didn't shout out for a long time, as if he was surprised by Xiao Nianyou's appearance.

Seeing the appearance of the maid and the butler, Xiao Nianyou asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Jin only pointed to Xiao Nianyou's face and head, and asked worriedly: "Master, what's the matter with you?"

Xiao Nianyou walked up to the bronze mirror, looked in the mirror, and was also surprised, was the suave Xiao Nianyou still in the bronze mirror?He was clearly a dirty man with a full beard and messy hair, how could he have a suave look?
Looking at himself in the mirror with a decadent expression, Xiao Nianyou couldn't help but laugh, and said to Chen Jin and the housekeeper: "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired!"

Xiao Nianyou said to the servant girl Ruolian: "Go get water and wash me up, there are still many things waiting for me to do today!"

The servant girl Ruo Lian hurriedly responded and left, the housekeeper said to Xiao Nianyou: "The old man woke up this morning, let the old man go over after getting up."

Xiao Nianyou nodded and asked, "Is the old man feeling better? Have you taken any medicine?"

The housekeeper replied: "I have already taken the medicine this morning, the old man is much better today, it's just..."

Xiao Nianyou looked at the housekeeper, who said hesitantly: "It's just that there is another message from the palace. The empress dowager is still very emotional, and the emperor can't say anything. Those guys in the palace who took advantage of us before don't care about it now. It’s over, the empress dowager has issued a strict order, whoever dares to intercede, it will be regarded as a crime of deceiving the emperor, and he will be punished.”

Xiao Nianyou's eyelids twitched slightly, then returned to normal, and only said: "Got it."

The servant girl Ruo Lian has brought back the washing water to help Xiao Nianyou freshen up.

After cleaning up and tidying up, Xiao Nianyou returned to the suave young man he used to be.

Xiao Nianyou said to the housekeeper: "Are they all up? What else is going on outside today?"

The butler said respectfully: "The wives and aunts of each room have already notified you, and they are all waiting for you, young master, in the back hall. Outside, there is nothing serious today, and a few ignorant little guys have already dealt with it."

Xiao Nianyou smiled and said: "Don't embarrass them. Over the years, I have worked hard for the Xiao family and paid them enough living expenses. Let them go if they want to go!"

"Understood, young master..." The housekeeper couldn't help but wiped his eyes. He had been in the Xiao family for decades, and he had experienced a lot of ups and downs. He had never seen the Xiao family like this.

Xiao Nianyou glanced at himself in front of the bronze mirror, then turned and walked towards the back hall.There are still many things waiting for him to do today.

There are flowers blooming in the backyard all year round, some of which were planted by Lin Fei back then.

Xiao Nianyou remembered Lin Fei saying: "Home is a warm place, let flowers bloom in all seasons here!" Therefore, flowers that bloom in different seasons are specially transported from all over the place to plant in the backyard.

In the past few years after Lin Fei left, although Xiao Nianyou took good care of her, it was not as good as before.Since Princess Linghua entered Xiao's house, she seemed to be possessed by Lin Fei. Xiao's house has almost returned to its original appearance inside and out. In the season when the flowers are in full bloom, the backyard is full of pleasant fragrance of flowers.

The flowers are still in full bloom, showing the former splendor and glory of the richest man in the capital.

"If flowers are alive, they will definitely not want to bloom." Xiao Nianyou suddenly thought of this, shook his head inadvertently, and went straight to the back hall.

Xiao Nianyou stepped into the threshold of the back hall, saw dozens of people in the hall, doing things quietly, saw Xiao Nianyou coming in, many stood up to greet him.Seeing the dozens of people in front of him, Xiao Nianyou felt a little ashamed.These years, as long as you are happy, you can just bring it home, you don’t know how much, looking at the room full of "myself" and "people next to your pillow", Xiao Nianyou secretly scolded himself for what he has done these years, what It's strange that Lin Fei had such a sad look in his eyes before he died.

Xiao Nianyou quietly walked to the front seat and sat down, looking at all the "wives" and "concubines" present for a long time.

There was no look of sadness in their eyes.All these years, I always thought that giving them food and clothing, even if it was my love for them, made up for them, how could I really understand them.

After a short silence, Xiao Nianyou didn't say anything.

It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, he had already thought a lot last night, but he didn't know how to say it when he got to his mouth. Looking at the expectant eyes of these wives and concubines, he still couldn't bear to say those words.

Maybe he was born with such a character, and this time he has completely recognized himself, but he doesn't like this kind of himself, presumably Lin Fei doesn't like it either, and Princess Linghua doesn't like it either.
