Chapter 736 Cleanup
Xue Dongjia looked at this face that looked very much like his wife but was very lively, and said with a smile: "I don't know how good the relationship between your mother and I is, how could we quarrel?"
Then he looked at Mrs. Xue: "Right, daughter-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Mingnian immediately turned to look at Mrs. Xue.
For the sake of her daughter's health, Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "Your father didn't lie. He just drank too much and knocked over the coffee table. We didn't have a quarrel."
Xue Ming looked at his parents, finally nodded and smiled: "Then parents should go to bed early, it's getting late."
"Girl, you are still worrying about your parents? Go back to sleep quickly, or you will catch a cold wind..." Xue Dongjia paused, not daring to say the words "you are going to get sick again", for fear that his words would come true.
It’s because my daughter was born prematurely and has always been weak.
Madam Xue also said, "Sister Nian, be obedient and go back to sleep."
He then looked at the servants who were serving Xue Mingnian and said in a deep voice, "Serve the young lady well. If you make her sick, you will be punished."
"Yes." The nanny and the maids all bowed and responded.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry about Nian Jie'er. Nian Jie'er will go back to sleep soon... Mom and Dad, please don't quarrel." She is ten years old, not a little kid, and she is not that easy to fool.
The couple felt a little embarrassed when their daughter said this. They smiled and sent Xue Mingnian away. After returning to the main room, they did not dare to argue anymore, for fear that their daughter would turn back halfway.
For a moment, the main room fell into deathly silence.
It was Mr. Xue who took action first. He walked up to Mrs. Xue, knelt on one knee, and hugged her.
Mrs. Xue struggled, but she was no match for Mr. Xue in strength. She was also afraid that the noise would get out of hand and be heard by her daughter, so she had to give in.
"Niang Jing, thank you for trying so hard to give birth to Sister Nian... It's my fault, I deserve to die, I will always atone for you and the Meng family." Xue Dongjia's voice was choked with sobs.
He really knew he was wrong and regretted it. He regretted that he was too impulsive when he was young and brought Yu home without informing his family.
As a result, due to the delay in information disclosure, Yu's story was fabricated by someone with ulterior motives, causing her daughter-in-law to give birth prematurely and almost resulting in two deaths.
After much difficulty, Nian Jie'er was born, but my wife was injured and could not have another child.
Just two days after his wife gave birth, the brother-in-law had an accident... He was afraid that his wife would not be able to bear it and would suffer postpartum hemorrhage, so he concealed the news, resulting in his wife not being able to see her brother-in-law for the last time.
By the time the daughter-in-law learned the news, her brother-in-law had already been buried.
His daughter-in-law hated him so much that even though he had dealt with those who spread the false news, she no longer treated him the same way as before.
Over the years, the daughter-in-law got along well with Yu and the other five concubines, but she no longer showed him any affection and just acted as a dutiful wife.
But he didn't want a wife who was like a guest. They clearly had a romantic relationship. He wanted to get back the Jingniang who loved him so much!
"A Zhui..." Mrs. Xue called him.
Xue Dongjia's body trembled, and he hugged her tightly: "Jing Niang, I'm here, I'm here."
"My eldest brother has been famous for his talent since he was young. He is my father's most proud student and the hope of several generations of the Meng family. Everyone in the family knows that my eldest brother will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination and change the family's fortunes... And I have been rescued by my eldest brother many times since I was young. No matter what, I should go to see him for the last time, even if I have to carry him... Even if I can't see him for the last time, I should go to the funeral..."
"I'm sorry, Jingniang, I'm sorry, it's my fault..."
If he had not brought Yu back and been used by others to spread rumors, his wife would not have given birth prematurely, and even with a big belly, she would have been able to hold on and see her eldest brother-in-law for the last time.
The room fell silent again, and Mrs. Xue stopped talking.
After a long time, Madam Xue wiped away her tears, pushed Master Xue, and said, "Let's just do it this way. Raise the children, and when their brothers and sisters get married, we will be grandparents, and this life will be over."
Xue Dongjia's heart sank, and it felt like it was being torn apart... But this kind of life was not what he wanted. They should have been loving each other as before. Xue Dongjia was not convinced and wanted to make a scene to break the ice between the couple.
But in the end he just whispered: "Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
The room was silent for a while, and Mrs. Xue said, "Get up, I'm sleepy."
"Yes." Boss Xue did not linger any more. He stood up, looked at the mess in the room, and said, "Go back to the inner room and rest first. I'll ask the maid to clean up these things tomorrow morning."
Mrs. Xue just nodded, without moving or saying anything, just waiting for him to leave.
Xue Dongjia had no choice but to pick up his pace, turned back to look at her, and said with a smile: "Jing Niang, thank you for giving birth to Nian Jie'er and raising Nian Jie'er and Mingyi so well."
If Nian Jie'er had died in the womb, there would have been a life between him and Jing Niang, and Jing Niang would have definitely left him.
Fortunately, although Nian Jie'er was born prematurely and weak, she survived. He is now Jing Niang's husband and can come to the room to rest occasionally.
Mrs. Xue paused for a moment and replied, "My husband has worked hard for the family."
It’s better not to say such polite words.
Mr. Xue was angry again. He left the main room and told the maid to go in and keep watch for his wife in the outer room.
Xue Dongjia did not leave the main courtyard, but went to take a bath and then went back to the next room... If his wife didn't want to sleep in the same room with him, then he would sleep in the side room. At least they were in the same courtyard, so they could be considered sleeping together.
However, before going to bed, Xue Dongjia passed some messages to the front yard.
After receiving the news, Xue Lei, Xue the Great Steward, and several trusted stewards who stayed in the capital were busy all night.
At 9:00 p.m. the next day, when Xue Dongjia came from the back house to the study in the front yard, Xue Lei and others had already presented the evidence to Xue Dongjia.
After seeing this, Xue Dongjia was not surprised. After all, people's hearts can change and they are always greedy.
He said, "Since they don't want to live a stable life, let's send them all away."
Send them all away?!
Xue Lei, Xue the Great Steward, and several trusted stewards were shocked.
Xue Lei spoke fairly: "Master, except for Miao and Mao who had some thoughts, the other four concubines were very well behaved and remembered Master's kindness... Yu was just kind-hearted and was taken advantage of by Miao."
Xue Da Guanjia also advised: "Master, you have raised him for so many years, it would be a pity to clear him out now."
Although the six concubines had ordinary family backgrounds, their former husbands, fathers, or brothers and sisters were all capable people.
Most importantly, their capable relatives are just missing.
"If they come back one day and the aunties complain to them, then the benefactors may become enemies, which is not worth it."
Butler Xue analyzed the pros and cons for Mr. Xue.
But Boss Xue had made up his mind: "I was too concerned about their families, so I hurt myself..."
"Master, be careful with your words!" Xue Da Guanjia interrupted Master Xue and knelt down and said, "Master, please don't say such things. It will cause endless troubles."
It would be fine if they met someone who was grateful, but talented people all have tempers. If they come back and find out about this, they will probably be angry with the Xue family and even take revenge on them.
Xue Dongjia knew the good intentions of the housekeeper, so he waved his hand and said, "Get up. Send them all away to the other courtyards in Tianmang Mansion."
For the sake of his family, Xue Dongjia did not send them to a farm in the countryside, but instead sent them to a villa in the city so that they could continue to live a wealthy life.
"This? Why don't we ask Madam's opinion before making a decision?" Steward Xue suggested, and then explained: "Tianmang Mansion is dangerous. It is not appropriate to send the concubines to Tianmang Mansion at this time."
