LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 238 The sorrow of the Yuan family
Looking at the high-spirited Xiao Jing in front of him, and thinking that when he was sixteen, he fought on the battlefield and narrowly escaped death in order to protect his family and country and Wang Zhuo's dignity, Yuan Chuyi felt very sorry for him.
"Thank you!" She hugged Xiao Jing distressedly, touching the scars on his back through her clothes. He once said these scars were his battle scars, and they were.
Xiao Jing smiled and hugged her, "Why are you interested in asking about King Xiaoyao today?"
"King Xiaoyao!" Yuan Chuyi was surprised, "How could I ask about him? It was only when Jiang Xue mentioned him that I knew there was such a famous person!" Yuan Chuyi thought he was jealous, so she leaned into his arms and said coquettishly. , "My lord, don't be angry, I really didn't do anything! Don't be angry, don't be angry, otherwise you will grow old easily."
Xiao Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could she tell that she was angry? "I just want to tell you that we'd better not get involved with Prince Xiaoyao and the people in Prince Xiaoyao's palace!" He leaned close to her ear and whispered, his warm breath Flicking on her goose-neck neck.
"..." Yuan Chuyi blinked and looked at him. His face was serious when he saw that he was telling himself this matter so solemnly. There must be some things in it that he was not comfortable telling himself, "I listen to the prince. Just eat, drink and have fun and earn some pocket money along the way!"
"Be good!" Xiao Jing smiled and rubbed her head.
When Yuanchu looked at him, he felt that he was pampering her like a little girl who was ignorant of the world. She doesn't like this! She put her arms around his neck, "If anything endangers our family or our children, Your Majesty, you don't have to hide it from me. I can face it with you and bear it together!"
"I know. But I don't want you to get involved in the court affairs. I just want you and your child to be safe. If it weren't for the emperor, I would let you and your child stay in the southwest for a lifetime instead of returning to the capital. Is this wrong? Come on!"
"Now that you've come, make peace with it! I'm very adaptable!" Yuan Chuyi was not pessimistic at all, "You said that we are husband and wife, and husband and wife are one body. If anything happens, I can face it with you." right!"
Xiao Jing smiled hoarsely. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for? "I have uprooted the assassins who assassinated you in the southwest some time ago, but they have other organizations and the mastermind behind the scenes has not been found. I'm worried." They will fight back at all costs. Therefore, if you go out in the near future, you must bring more people and be extra careful!"
"Those assassins... are related to King Xiaoyao?"
"There is no direct evidence to prove that he is connected. But last time you said that the man's voice sounded like a killer in the teahouse. I sent people to investigate and found that he had contact with the housekeeper of Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion."
Yuan Chuyi understood and nodded. No wonder he cared so much when he heard Jiang Xue talking about King Xiaoyao to him today. Now that she knows that Xiaoyao Wangfu may not be a good person, she will try not to come into contact with people from Xiaoyao Wangfu in the future.
Suburban farm.
Yuan Wenyuan and the Yuan family are quarreling over the separation of the families. Yuan Hongsheng never imagined that he would become a burden in the eyes of his father.
"Dad, in the uncle's eyes, only scholars are his clan members, and we people have become a burden now? Do you really want to separate us and drive us away?" He asked in disbelief.
"That is, we made money together, and all the money we earned was given to you. We even gave you our previous savings to provide education for a few of them! We have paid so much for the Yuan family, and we have given everything we have to you. Now you want to abandon us and ignore us, are you still a human being?" The tribesmen also said one after another.
Yuan Wenyuan looked helpless, "I don't want to be like this, but the old man's family situation is deteriorating, and he really can't support a large family like ours. Everyone, you should go your own way! You have given us two days, and we must move today." Walk!"
"Yuan Wenyuan! You despicable villain! We promised to bring us to the capital to join the boss, so that we can enjoy the blessings, provide for a few of their scholars to study, and gain wealth and wealth! I didn't expect that now you don't even care about our life and death! Is it really true? They will drive us away without mercy! I tell you, we won’t leave!”
Several abandoned family members gathered around and said angrily.
"It was you who insisted on coming to the capital to join Yuan Wenjing and live together, sharing blessings and hardships. How long has it passed now that you are ignoring us? If you really drive us away, try it. !”
"Yuan Wenyuan, if you really want to force us to go to a dead end, we will kill each other no matter how big or small!"
Several men waved their hoes in their hands, becoming more and more excited.
"If it hadn't been for the drought, do you think I would have wanted to bring everyone to the capital?" Yuan Wenyuan defended, "But now, everyone can only take care of themselves!"
Yuan Wenyuan tried to explain, but his voice was drowned out by the angry tribesmen, "We won't leave, we won't leave! Unless you return all our money to us!"
"Yes, pay back the money, pay back the money!"
They began to push Yuan Wenyuan, and their emotions became more and more agitated.
"Everyone, calm down!" Yuan Wenyuan said loudly, but his words had no effect.
Suddenly, a tribesman rushed up and punched Yuan Wenyuan. Others followed suit and started beating Yuan Wenyuan. Yuan Wenyuan fell to the ground and tried to protect himself, but the tribesmen's fists fell on him like raindrops.
The scene was very chaotic for a while, until someone shouted: "Stop! You will kill people if you do this!"
After hearing these words, the tribesmen stopped and looked at Yuan Wenyuan lying on the ground.
Yuan Wenyuan's face was covered with blood and he looked very embarrassed.
Yuan Honghao stepped forward to help Yuan Wenyuan up, knelt down to the clan members, with a sad look on his face, "Please forgive my father, he did this out of help. I would like to ask everyone to go their own way as the uncle said. I have to make a living. But I promise you that as long as I am on the gold medal list and get an official position, I will definitely bring you back. Please believe me!"
He spoke sincerely, kowtowed heavily to everyone, and promised again: "Please believe me, I will definitely not let you down!"
In the end, the Yuan family had no choice but to pack up their things, silently leave the farm where they had lived for more than half a year, and go to make ends meet on their own. Yuan Wenyuan looked at their departing figures from afar, feeling helpless and guilty in his heart.
Unexpectedly, just as the Yuan family members left, they saw Uncle De, the housekeeper of the first year of Yuan Dynasty, coming with a group of servants. Yuan Wenyuan didn't bother to bandage the wound on his head and immediately went up to him with a smile.
"Steward De, it was Mo Chen who asked you to come to us! Did he ask you to bring us money?"
Uncle De couldn't help but laugh, and took out the land deed and the official document from Dali Temple, "Mr. Yuan, take a look, this village is the dowry private property of our eldest daughter's mother, and now Dali Temple has ordered the Yuan family to return this village immediately. Our eldest lady has said that she will take back this village immediately and ask you to move out immediately without any delay!"
"What!" Yuan Wenyuan and others were shocked. They had just driven away the clansmen. How come they were about to be driven away in the blink of an eye!
