Chapter 49

"I invited a few clan elders to come over to testify that the second house will be separated from the Wu family starting today, and my aunt ordered someone to take out the second house's private property list and face it in front of the clan elders." Wu Ying ignored other people's changes. With an impermanent expression, he directly fixed his eyes on Guo Shi's face.

Everyone thought that he came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, and that he was looking for the clan elder to go over the big house and directly deal with the fourth house, but they didn't expect that what he was going to do was such a ridiculous thing.

"Are you crazy?" Wu Lingzuo was furious.

Guo Shi was also dumbfounded, Wu Ying didn't come to vent her anger for Zi'er, but to separate the family.She couldn't figure out how to live a good life after being separated from the second room.How many side branches wished to be cattle and horses for the clan. Back then, Wu Lingxi's concubine brothers were reluctant to be separated, and some even cried bitterly. Wu Ying, who had no parents and no children, actually wanted to be separated?The master is right, Wu Ying must be crazy.

Wu Lingxi's family didn't turn the corner, and Wu Ying didn't pursue Zi'er's matter. They were a little lucky, but Wu Ying's separation is definitely a big deal, a big deal.They also couldn't figure out why Wu Ying was separated.

Only Wu Lingxiu was still sitting silently.

Wu Tianyou is the oldest of the three clan elders. He is already seventy, but his body is still healthy, and he likes to help the clan's children. "Hurry up and do it while everyone is here today."

"No, I don't agree." Wu Lingzuo refused mercilessly.

Wu Ying had expected him to do this, and Wu Ying was not surprised, "Since uncle is reluctant to part with me, let the fourth room be separated. Auntie will take out the private property of the fourth room, and do it now in front of everyone. Today, the fourth room will be moved." government."

"Why!"

"Bastard!"

"You are sick!"

The four-bedroom family of three spoke in unison.

Wu Lingzuo shouted: "Have you made enough trouble? Isn't it just that a lowly servant girl died, and it is worth being so disrespectful and offending the superiors, without thinking about the kinship."

"What kind of family relationship? Did uncle forget that I'm just the heir of the second room? Forget it, it's useless to be too lazy to talk to you. Today's matter has to be done or not. If anyone dares to obstruct it, don't blame me The fish is dead and the net is broken. Auntie, why don't you hurry up and get the bill?"

"You are not allowed to go." Wu Lingzuo cut off the words.

Mrs. Guo shuddered. She knew that her husband was really angry, and immediately hated Wu Ying, "Your uncle has raised you like his own son all these years. If you don't care about your kindness, forget about it and separate the family. You An heir, why should he take away the private property of the second room?"

Wu Ying held back her smile and clapped her hands three times, "Oh~ what auntie means is that if I don't want to be the heir of the second house, I can leave the Wu family, right? Uncle and nephew think auntie's suggestion is very good." After he left, Erfang will choose a young and easy-to-control heir from the family, and everyone is happy.

Only then did Guo realize that he was too selfish and thoughtless in his words, but it was too late to redeem him.She didn't dare to look at Wu Lingzuo's face, for fear that the other party would attack her in a hurry, so she said in a panic, "I don't mean that."

Wu Lingzuo's cheeks were tense, and his tone was extremely cold, "The three clan elders, please go back, the clan will not separate."

"But it's true that Wu Ying's life in your family is difficult. You have done too much these years." Wu Tianyi's old voice sounded slowly.

Seeing that the second house had a simple population, and the only master was an heir, they brazenly invaded the house and valuables, embezzled the servants' monthly money, ranging from bullying them to beating, scolding and planting money.All kinds of deeds are not new rumors in the clan.Because of Wu Ying's ability, he will always be pushed out if the clan's family is in trouble.He has given the Zong family countless reproaches and grievances, and has not gained any benefits.It's not easy for Wu Ying to bear it until today.

Wu Lingzuo gritted his teeth, "It's all a misunderstanding. I regard Aying as a parent and child. How can I not know if he has grievances. But the family is in harmony with everything, and the family has a large population, so it is inevitable that there will be no trivial matters. Aying is young and ignorant. In the future, I will I will pay attention to him." After speaking, he stared at Wu Ying warningly.

Wu Ying returned him with a provocative look, "Uncle, don't talk about what you have. I know who you are, and the elders of the clan also know who you are. Let's open the skylight and speak frankly. There are three options for today: the second room is separated. , the four households will be separated, I will get rid of my status as an heir, and leave the house clean."

As soon as Sifang was separated, Sifang became furious. Wu Lingxi pointed at Wu Ying's nose and scolded him for treason. Qin said he was ungrateful, only Wu Yongxu, because of his limited level, repeated the same white-eyed wolf.

"When is it your turn to be the master of this family? I said that no separation means no separation. See off guests!" Wu Lingzuo slapped the table vigorously.

"What does uncle mean is to take away my status as heir and let me leave the house? Do the clan elders understand?"

Wu Tianrong, who had been silent all this time, sighed, "If that's the case, let's choose another person to inherit the second room." At his age, and having experienced the catastrophe more than ten years ago, he didn't want the Wu family to have any more troubles.If Wu Ying's wish is not fulfilled today, the Zong family will definitely feel restless.This is not good for the clan at all.

"Uncle Ten!" Wu Lingzuo had never felt that the easy-talking clan elders in the past were so difficult to deal with today. What advantage did Wu Ying give them to persecute him?
"I don't think there is any need to pick people from the clan anymore. I just choose a bastard from several rooms in the clan to adopt to the second room." Wu Tianyou tapped his crutch on the ground.

As soon as Wu Tianyou said this, the minds of everyone present were different. Whose family does not have a concubine, if one's concubine inherits the second wife, wouldn't that be the same as getting the second wife in a legitimate way?

Wu Ying saw that Sifang and the Guo family were both tempted, and looked at him and several clan elders with inquiring eyes.Before Wu Lingzuo was about to obstruct him, he added fuel to the fire, "I'm telling you something serious, and you think I'm joking? Let me tell you, if it can't be done today, tomorrow the whole of Jinling will know that Wu Lingxi and his children have defiled my concubine , Mrs. Wu's fourth wife, Mrs. Guo, was jealous of my concubine. I have also written the pleadings. I am afraid that this lawsuit will not hit the capital or the Ministry of punishment. By the way, I have already poured fire oil on the four rooms. Today If you don’t make a decision, I’ll burn the house and kill people.” He said that if a fish dies, a net is broken.He was sure that Sifang was greedy and cherished his life, and Dafang valued reputation, so he took this step without hesitation.

"Ahhh - he's crazy, master...what about uncle...he's going to kill us..." Qin was so frightened that his legs limp and fell to the ground.

Wu Yongxu wanted to run out and go back to the fourth room to save his things, but he was stopped by someone brought by Ding Tong outside the door. Ding Tong didn't do anything to Wu Yongxu, so the guards couldn't do anything to him.

"The fourth room is about to be sealed, and no one can come in and out at will." Wu Lingzuo didn't expect Wu Ying to be so ruthless.

After watching the excitement for a long time, Wu Lingxiu finally put down his teacup, "The children in the family are all grown up, and they are discussing marriage one by one. My sister-in-law doesn't want Ziqi and Zhenzhen to be gossiped by the in-laws, right?" Wu Ziqi and Wu Zhenzhen belong to the Wu family Baby, Guo's eyeballs, Wu Zhenzhen has been likened to the princess of Jinling City since the day she was born, which shows what kind of status symbol she is in the Wu family in Jinling.

"Master..." Mrs. Guo finally had some normal thinking.Thinking of her son marrying a wife and taking concubines in the future, the in-laws will hesitate because of the past behavior of Wu Lingxi and his son. Her most beloved youngest daughter, Wu Zhenzhen, has been gossiped and raised in her husband's family because of such a fourth uncle and cousin. Without her head up, she wished she could hack Wu Lingxi's family to death.

"This matter must be suppressed, it must!" She was almost going crazy.

Wu Ying glanced in Wu Lingxiu's direction inadvertently. No one in the Wu family had any plans. Of course, he didn't care what purpose Wu Lingxiu had for suddenly helping him. Anyway, he didn't care about the Wu family's things, and they had no conflict of interest in essence.After he got rid of his status as an heir, the second room needs to re-adopt the child, and the sixth room also has a bastard, so there is also a chance, right?

"Brother, brother, you just agree, this white-eyed wolf is not human, he wants our family's life." It's not that Wu Lingxi never thought about killing Wu Ying, but the other party was able to take the first step Throw oil on Sifang to show that he came prepared, and Zi'er's body may have arrived at the government, and the people there will wait for Wu Ying's order to conduct an autopsy to decide the case.The prefect of Jinling now has an ambiguous attitude towards the aristocratic family, the few times Xue Youzhi came to the door was to ask the teacher for other people's crimes.Wu Lingxi really couldn't guarantee that he could get the help of the other party.

No matter how he calculated it, he felt that it would take a big risk to dispose of Wu Ying now. Instead of playing in the opponent's arms, it would be better to agree first on the opponent's terms.He didn't believe that Wu Ying, who had nothing, could fight against the Wu family outside?Of course, Wu Lingxi made this choice partly because of the private property of the second house.Among the members of the Zong family, he had the most bastards in the fourth room, and he had the greatest chance of getting the second room.

Wu Lingzuo only felt that his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry, and there were bursts of bitterness in his throat.Looking at the anticipation in the eyes of everyone in the room, he felt for the first time that the Wu family was out of his control.He hated that they didn't know the value of Wu Ying, hated that they didn't know how useful Wu Ying was, hated that they only knew how to make trouble and didn't know how to clean up the mess.Of course, Wu Lingzuo would not admit that his absolute authority in the Wu family and his indestructible high position were all supported by Wu Ying.

"No, I don't agree with the separation of the family. Come and check the kerosene in Sifang, and find sand to cover it."

The corners of Wu Ying's mouth curled up slightly, and she raised her voice, "Ding Tong lit the fire."

The guards guarding outside the Guangyao Hall thought that Ding Tong would run out to give orders in person, so a crowd of people surrounded him, but he just pretended to rush out, taking out a bamboo tube from his sleeve and throwing it vigorously when no one was prepared.Nei Ying, who had been squatting in a corner for a long time, saw the bamboo tube and would help him pass on the instructions.

"Come on!" Wu Lingxiu was the first to notice Wu Ying's tricks, but it was too late.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for billowing smoke to ignite on the side of Sifang, and the sound of running water kept coming and going.The people in the fourth room were like ants on a hot pot, they wanted to go back to save their property, but the people brought by Wu Ying still blocked them and wouldn't let them leave.The most embarrassing thing was the Fuwei. Wu Lingzuo didn't say anything, and they didn't stop him either. He could only accompany them to make trouble.

Wu Lingzuo didn't care anymore, and stepped out of Guangyao Hall, as if he wanted to go to the fourth room to direct the fire to be extinguished.Wu Ying stopped the fourth room but didn't stop him, but said with an innocent face: "Zi'er's body should also be examined, after all, it's too hot to keep it for a long time."

Wu Lingzuo's footsteps finally stopped, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, "Do you have to do this?"

Wu Ying's hands hidden in her sleeves trembled, and she forcibly suppressed her madness, "You won't forget that you chose this road for me, right? Why can't you accept this result? In detail, we still have a while to go." Blood feud doesn't count, uncle, you can continue to force me, I, Wu Ying, am really not afraid to put my life here today."

Wu Lingzuo's eyes widened, and now it was his turn to tremble.How Wu Ying's biological parents died, no one knows better than him...

The fire in the fourth room was extinguished that night, but Wu Ziqi and Qin's houses were burned a lot. Fortunately, they were rescued in time and the loss was not too heavy.But even so, Qin still fell seriously ill.Zi'er's body was also sent out from the yamen, and Ding Tong arranged for someone to handle the funeral for her.Wu Ying only packed his own things, and left Wu's house with the person who held the deed of sale.

"Your biological parents are gone?" Cheng Fu never thought that Wu Ying's life experience would be so complicated.

"In the third year after I adopted the Second Household, they were killed by loyal slaves on the way to Beijing. I only found out who ordered it two years ago." Wu Ying drank the ice wine in the tavern, feeling the heat on her body Visibly spread out.

"Afraid that they will use you to seek the wealth of the clan in the future?"

Wu Ying shook her head, "More than that. My father is a very good student, and he went to Beijing to rush for the exam."

Then there is nothing to understand, Wu Lingxi was afraid that Wu Ying's biological father would have a smooth official career in the future and would take Wu Ying back.After all, adopting is just a matter of changing the family tree, and canceling the heir can be done again.As long as there is enough right to speak, the rules in the family are not dead.

Wu Ying's biological parents were unwilling to give their son to others, and they did not know why they compromised.His father did everything he could to get his child back.It's a pity that the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes.

"You are so beautiful." Cheng Fu stared at this face and could only think of this sentence.

Wu Ying also choked on the wine.

Ma'am, that's not how you use a girl with a bad life.

"Speaking of which, you are better than our brothers and sisters. We have almost risked our own lives at this point." Wu Ying is a man, and he does not take the imperial examination path. accumulation.Those clan elders were so willing to help, Cheng Fu couldn't believe that it was out of sympathy or sticking to morality and clan rules, it was probably because Wu Ying had often done things for them in private and made promises A lot of money.These are the abilities that their brothers and sisters did not have when they were in the Gu family.

Wu Ying looked at her face quietly, and said quietly, "Don't let them go."

"Not only will I not let it go, but I will pay it back a hundredfold." The little girl raised a ghostly smile.

"Anyway, congratulations." The little hand raised the teacup.

Wu Ying smiled, and raised her glass to touch her, "I'm left with you, and we'll be together for a long time."

"Well, good sisters forever." Cheng Fu gave him a supercilious look.
