The Beloved in the Palm
Chapter 61
Chapter 61 Return to her parents' home
Mrs. Xue wanted to leave, but no one dared to move.
Although she was stopped outside the door that day, she had already realized that the power of the mistress in her hands was nothing compared to Xue Chengdong.
But today, Mrs. Xue's eyes were really opened.
Before, they had not torn their faces, so they did not know the cruel and cold reality.
Mrs. Xue sneered: "Okay, now you can't control them one by one."
"Madam, just like in the past, when the master comes back, can't you talk to him properly?" The old woman next to her said with a bitter face.
Mrs. Xue took a step forward, and she felt that her eyes were a little dark.
At this time, Xue Qingyin reached out and supported her, saying: "Nong Xia, go and invite those soldiers back."
Nong Xia was Xue Qingyin's personal maid, and her mother was Xue Qingyin's wet nurse when she was young, so the relationship was naturally closer.
She hesitated for a moment and knew that it was time to make a choice.
"I'll go right away!" She gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice.
The people in the Duke Zhao's mansion were called back before they had gone far.
Xue Qingyin stood there, as if she had taken on the responsibility. She directed them to move the boxes out freely.
"Pack up the valuables in my mother's room and take them away." Xue Qingyin said.
Madam Xue was stunned for a moment, and then she vaguely realized Xue Qingyin's thoughts. She couldn't help but lower her voice and asked: "We...are not coming back?"
Xue Qingyin knew that even if Madam Xue had many dissatisfactions with Xue Chengdong, given her background and the environment she grew up in, she would never think of separating from Xue Chengdong and not communicating for a long time.
As for divorce, she would never do it.
Xue Qingyin just comforted her and said: "You came back because your father coaxed my mother back."
Madam Xue didn't say anything else.
The servants hurriedly packed up their things and sent them to the carriage.
Madam Xue didn't take the servants in the mansion with her, but only took the people she brought from her mother's home.
Xue Qingyin was different. She took all the people He Songning gave her with her.
The maid named "Zhishu" in the lead was a little older. She knew some martial arts and was usually very stable. But today she was a little flustered and wanted to go to the farm outside the city to report the news to He Songning immediately.
She advised: "Miss, think twice! If you and Madam leave, things will be pushed to an unmanageable point."
Xue Qingyin only asked her: "Are you going?"
Zhishu gritted his teeth.
"Brother gave you to me, so you must obey my orders." Xue Qingyin didn't talk much with her.
Zhishu lowered his head and dared not argue anymore.
The wheels of the carriage rolled.
Xue Qingyin took Madam Xue, clothes, jewelry, books and other things with her, even the screen and inkstone that Xue Chengdong gave her last time, and the gifts that He Songning brought back from other places.
The battle was so big that it really meant moving the whole family.
Thank you to the soldiers of the Duke of Zhao's mansion, otherwise, even if she wanted to show her father a cold shoulder today, she couldn't do it!
The carriage ran fast, as if afraid of being caught up.
Madam Xue was afraid that Xue Qingyin would be bumpy, so she hugged her in her arms. After a long time, she said: "With your father's temper, I'm afraid he won't bow his head to take us back. We may become a joke this time."
Xue Qingyin was a little surprised. She looked up at Madam Xue: "But mother still decided to go with me."
Madam Xue was in a trance for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Yes, maybe I'm tired of it after all these years. It's Qingyin who gave mother confidence. The Duke of Zhao's mansion really treats you sincerely and impeccably. I don't have to worry about your brother's future. We don't have to entrust everything to your father."
After saying the last sentence, Madam Xue also exhaled heavily, as if she had spit out all the depression that she had endured in her heart for these years.
Today's departure was resolute, and it was also the fulfillment of Mrs. Xue's wish that she wanted to do in the past, but she couldn't do it because of various shackles!
Xue Qingyin snuggled deeper in her arms: "Mother has me."
She would never let Mrs. Xue end up like the original.
A good mother should have a good ending, right?
The Xu family is located in the south of the city.
The house is bigger than the Xue family.
After all, Xue Chengdong was separated from the main family early, and he was appointed as a minister, so he built a mansion by himself.
The Xu family had some money, and secondly, hundreds of people lived in one place, so naturally they had to build a bigger house.
When Xue Qingyin and her carriage arrived at the door of the Xu family, they immediately alarmed the people inside.
"My aunt is back!"
"Where is my uncle? Did my uncle come back too?"
The whole Xu family was lively for a while.
When Xue Qingyin got off the carriage, she saw a full house of people.
The leader was a middle-aged man, Xue Qingyin's second uncle, whose full name was Xu Qi. It is said that the Xu family first opened a medicine shop, and most of the descendants of the Xu family were named after medicines.
Xu Qi was taken from "Huangqi".
And Mrs. Xue's maiden name was Xu Zhi, taken from "Baizhi".
"What day is it today? My sister actually brought my good niece back. When your sister-in-law and I heard it, we were so happy that we came out immediately." Xu Qi talked so intensively that it was almost impossible for people to interrupt.
Then he asked: "Where is my brother-in-law?"
Xue Qingyin had a vague premonition that it was not very good.
The Xu family might not be a reliable family.
"We had a quarrel, and only Qingyin and I came back." Mrs. Xue said lightly.
Xu Qi's expression froze: "Why are you arguing? Is it about that concubine again? I have told you so many times, why do you..."
Mrs. Xue's face gradually became ugly.
Seeing this, Xue Qingyin interrupted in a delicate voice: "Uncle, I can't stand standing outside to talk like this."
Xu Qi forced a smile: "Well, let's go in first. Our Qingyin can't stand the fatigue."
Xu Qi thought that Xue Qingyin was born weak, but she was the only "handle" his sister could use to control her brother-in-law.
"Are these all the gifts my sister brought back?" A woman's voice suddenly interrupted.
Xue Qingyin turned her head to look.
That was her aunt Gui.
Gui was a few years older than Xu Qi, with deep fine lines at the corners of her eyes and between her eyebrows. She had a round face, and there was still some youthful charm between her eyebrows. When she smiled, the flesh on her cheeks was slightly squeezed up, and she looked too flattering.
Xue Qingyin struggled to dig out some memories.
The relationship between her aunt and uncle was average.
Back then, she was married into the Xu family because she had a blessed face and looked like a good child.
"Qingyin, why are you staring at me today? Is there something on my aunt's face?" Gui touched her cheek.
Xue Qingyin smiled and said, "Aunt has become more beautiful."
Gui thought to herself, how could she have heard a word of praise from this little ancestor in the past? She laughed so hard that her mouth was almost broken.
Xue Qingyin then ordered the palace soldiers to carry the box in, and asked, "Are my mother and I still living in the same courtyard? These are all the things my mother and I need to eat, wear and use."
The smile on Gui's face disappeared instantly.
Xu Qi also asked solemnly: "How long will my sister stay this time?"
Mrs. Xue pretended not to see their expressions and said: "At least three months, at most half a year, a year, I can't say for sure."
Xu Qi's face changed drastically: "How can that be? How can a married woman return to her parents' house to live for a long time?"
Xue Qingyin pouted and said unhappily: "Are you trying to drive us away, uncle?"
"Of course... of course not."
"That's good, we are one family and don't have to talk about different things." Xue Qingyin waved her hand, "Carry them all in."
Only then did Xu Qi see clearly that the people following behind were soldiers.
He trembled in his heart and asked hurriedly: "This is..."
Although Xue Chengdong was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and was very powerful, where could he command so many soldiers?
"The soldiers of the Duke of Zhao's mansion." Xue Qingyin smiled sweetly, "I thought these boxes were very heavy and couldn't be moved, so I asked my grandfather to borrow them."
Xu Qi was even more frightened when he heard the first half of the sentence.
Merchants are like this, they are afraid of officials and soldiers.
After hearing the second half of the sentence, Xu Qi couldn't help wondering: "How can Old Master Xue borrow someone from your Duke's Mansion?"
"Who said it was that grandfather? Duke Zhao, my grandfather, the new one!" Xue Qingyin said in shock.
Xu Qi was stunned.
How can this thing be divided into new and old?
