Aunt Lian was the first to react and rushed forward. Her eyes turned red: "Jun'er! Why did you do such a stupid thing?"
As he spoke, he helplessly covered the wound that was bleeding out with the lapel of his clothes. The knife did not spare any force. The wound extended directly from the cheek to the corner of the mouth, and the flesh around the lips was turned outwards, making it look hideous and terrifying.
Lian Jun found it difficult to open his mouth at this time, but he still said vaguely, "Uncle, I am responsible for all my work. You can throw me to the border military camp to atone for your sin."
The cold sweat on his head increased with every word he said, and after he finished speaking, the color on his face was gone.
The uncle was anxious and angry and said with a livid face: "Shut up, there are no military camps. If your father really wanted you to be a soldier, he would have thrown you into it! Butler, please take him down to the doctor for treatment." ”
The Xu family couple was already shocked by this tragic scene. They drank a cup of tea before speaking: "My nephew is so courageous. Since he apologized so sincerely, we can't be aggressive anymore. I'll take my leave now." ”
"Wait a minute, Master Xu. Now that the grudge between the two juniors has been settled, let's talk about other things now."
The two people who were about to stand up were stopped by this question. The head of the Xu family asked in confusion, "What else is there? My Xu family has very little contact with your Lian family. Could it be that a nephew or nephew in the family has inadvertently offended me?"
Without saying much, the uncle handed the letter sent by the butler to the head of the Xu family.
After reading it, he clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves. He thought he would seek justice for his son today, but this happened.
A concubinage document from a year ago, and a household registration certificate for a good family.
The name is still the dead Xue'er.
Mrs. Xu saw that her master had a strange look on his face, so she took the things over and looked at them for herself. By the time she saw them, she understood what the Lian family meant, let alone her husband.
After seeing that both of them had seen it, the uncle said: "I have already told you that my nephew has never had a concubine, so he already filed the paperwork last year and is waiting for Xue'er himself. Changqu'er made enough money to redeem herself.
That child is a good person. Although he was forced to fall into the world, he is not the kind of person who is willing to degenerate. Your young master, now humiliating people to death like this, is a slap in the face of our Lian family. ? ”
The head of the Xu family began to feel uncomfortable on his face, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Even if she is a good family, but when she appeared in the Goulan tile house, my son made a mistake and lost her life. There is no way I would let her die." Should I be exiled and executed for this kind of woman?”
Only then did the uncle smile: "What the Xu family master said, it was just a concubine. How could it be possible that the husband of the Xu family was killed."
He was just about to agree when he heard the next sentence.
"But, your son should not be the next head of the family. Although it is just a concubine, the matter of humiliating other people's wives and concubines is not so easy to deal with, not to mention that my stupid nephew is still scratching his face like that. Deep hole.”
Seeing that this matter was getting more and more out of control, Mrs. Xu hurriedly said: "Concubines exchange goods. Nowadays, there are not many people who exchange concubines and rooms in Qian'an? You want to use this matter to blackmail us, are you thinking too much? Is it simple? ”
The smile on the uncle's face deepened. "Mrs. Xu, has she ever seen any family that uses the family emblem to take concubines?"
One sentence caught the Xu family and his wife off guard. Nowadays, although paper is not as rare as in the previous dynasty, many families affiliated with the Tang family in Beihai are already doing this paper business.
However, the papers used in this clan emblem document are all white paper secretly made by the Tang family in Beihai. The paper is pure and bright white, and the ink will not smear after writing, and will not be easily damaged even if it is stained with water.
The most important thing is that the paper made by the Tang family is only used by wealthy families as a family emblem.
The concubine-taking documents written in this clan's emblem are the noble concubines. The concubines can be sold or even disposed of at will. It is impossible for a concubine to become the head wife, even if there is another concubine. The favor of the master of the house cannot be corrected in a lifetime. But the concubine is different. The concubine can even go to the ancestral temple at home. If the wife of the family unfortunately dies, she can also go there directly.
Mrs. Xu said sternly: "Impossible, she is a singer, how can she be a concubine? Your family dares to violate the ancestral etiquette? Such a violation of the rules of taking a concubine, even if I sue the emperor, it will be done! ”
The head of the Xu family understood that the matter had come to this, and that his side was completely at a disadvantage. He did not argue like his wife did, "The Lian family is indeed powerful, and Xu is willing to be defeated.
After my son is well, I will ask the elders of the clan to open a ancestral hall to ensure that my son is elected as the clan leader. Are you satisfied? ”
The uncle got the answer he wanted and didn't want to talk to these two people anymore. He smiled and asked the returning housekeeper to see off the guests.
When he arrived at the door of Lian Jun's room, he was almost vomited by the strong smell of medicine. Finally, he calmed down before pushing the door open and entering.
There was a room full of servants serving, and the uncle said solemnly: "Except for the girls, everyone should go out. There are too many people and it is not suitable for Jun'er to recuperate."
After all the idlers had left, Xie Fengyue said: "How did your uncle handle it?"
Looking at this soft girl who had full control over the Xu family, he did not mince words, "Jun'er made a mistake in the middle, especially the documents sent, which really saved a lot of verbal disputes."
He did not hesitate to praise: "She is indeed a girl from the Xie family. She does things properly and takes one step at a time."
Xie Fengyue did not take any credit: "My uncle was the one who understood it. If it were anyone else, even if I had written the words, they would still have problems when they read them."
The uncle went up to check Lian Jun's injuries again, and found that they were not serious.
He said: "The army has been really busy recently. I have been delayed for so long, so I will go back first."
After saying that, he picked up his reluctant aunt and turned to the door.
When there were only two people in the room, Lian Jun spoke with great difficulty: "Actually, I really want to join the army."
Xie Fengyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "You want to join the army, but you are afraid that as the only son of the Lian family, you will die in battle, and you are also afraid that your achievements will never catch up with your father, so why don't you just imitate the playboy style of the son of the aristocratic family?"
Lian Jun's eyes widened at first, then closed them little by little.
His lips trembled and he responded softly: "No one will agree."
"So you took this opportunity to get your own way?"
"Hmm"
The response was inaudible.
For a moment, Xie Fengyue didn't know what to say. Did she blame him for acting impulsively and not communicating with his parents, or did he blame his parents for acting arbitrarily and making him think so decisively.
