The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 255: Master Hou, You Lied (1)
Apart from Mingde Hall, the main hall of the Hou Mansion, Linglong Courtyard is the best courtyard in the backyard of the Hou Mansion. When Mrs. Xu asked Xu Si'an to recognize Sun Yu'e as a foster daughter, she didn't just say it casually.Although Sun Yu'e's surname has not been changed and has not been included in the ancestral hall, she also knelt in front of the old Hou Ye's tablet in the small ancestral hall of the Hou Mansion and offered incense to the old Hou Ye.At that time, Xu Si'an thought very simply, since he was the blood of the Hou family, for the sake of the deceased old Lord Hou, he could recognize Sun Yu'e so that she would not be left homeless.

At this time, the Linglong Courtyard looked a bit withered. Although May was still the season when a hundred flowers bloomed, the appearance of Xu Si'an still added a touch of chill to the originally quiet courtyard.

"Go and call out the big girl!"

Xu Si'an sat in the main hall of Linglong Courtyard with a sullen face and a tight robe, tapping his knuckles rhythmically on the pear blossom wood tea table beside him, with a somewhat stern and solemn look on his brows and eyes.The original maids of Linglong Courtyard have all been replaced by Zhao Jing, and the servants here are all young maids selected by the slaves of the Hou family. Some people have never seen Xu Si'an at all, and they saw him in the hall As soon as he sat down, the little maidservants ran away in fright.

Xu Si'an waited in the hall for a while before Sun Yu'e came out slowly from the room with a mournful expression. Seeing Xu Si'an sitting in the hall, she knelt down with a plop and cried, "Father...Father, I really know my mistake It's..."

Xu Si'an raised his eyes and glanced at Sun Yu'e coldly. The thirteen or fourteen year old girl was so vicious that he didn't even have the interest to look at her more.

"You don't have to cry in front of me. It's useless. I could have finished you with a whip in Songhetang that day. I just thought that the old lady loved you a lot, and I didn't want to hurt her."

After Xu Si'an said this, he glanced at Sun Yu'e again, and asked her, "I'm going to ask you two questions now, you just need to nod or shake your head."

When she came back from Songhe Hall, Sun Yu'e thought that Xu Si'an was really going to suffer for herself, but now seeing Xu Si'an's disgusted eyes, she fully understood Xu Si'an's intentions at that time.He really didn't like himself, and he didn't hesitate to punish himself to make the old lady give up on herself.

Sun Yu'e nodded resignedly, and waited for Xu Si'an to speak. She is really scared now. Everything she has is given by the old lady. Once the old lady can no longer remember that she has this granddaughter, she will really have nothing. .She didn't want to play on the ridge in dirty clothes; she didn't want to be able to call her servants and wear beautiful clothes from now on; she didn't want to have no decent jewelry.

"Do you still want to be the girl of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, the adopted daughter of this Marquis?" Xu Si'an said coldly, with a bit of awe in the sharp eyebrows, which made Sun Yu'e tremble uncontrollably.

Sun Yu'e suppressed her crying and nodded, her eyes filled with tears. If she returned to Xinglong Village, she would be the laughing stock of everyone.

Xu Si'an snorted coldly, as if he was not surprised by the answer, he looked at Sun Yu'e firmly again, and said to her: "Very well, then from today onwards, you have nothing to do with the Sun family, and from now on you are not allowed to Goodbye to anyone in the Sun family, especially your grandmother."

After Xu Si'an said this, he got up from the chair and left without looking back. Sun Yu'e cried and threw herself at Xu Si'an's feet, grabbed a piece of his clothes and said, "Father...Father...why, why did you treat me like this? , foster father..."

Xu Si'an lowered his head, swept his eyebrows at Sun Yu'e, who was streaming with tears, and left with a blank expression.

Coming out of Linglong Courtyard, Xu Si'an went back to the meeting room in the front yard. Without Zhao Jing, the little guard on the beam hung upside down with a golden hook and chatted with Xu Si'an.

"Master Hou, when will you let me play on the battlefield?"

Xu Si'an raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, and said with a smile, "Your grandfather said that your family has been passed down for three generations. How about this, after you give birth to two sons, I will let you take a walk on the battlefield?"

"Master Hou, you are lying! You don't even have a son yet! Why can you go to war!"

After the little guard finished speaking, he only heard a few dry coughs outside the door, and hurriedly flipped somersault off the beam, and greeted him with a smile: "Grandfather!"

"Let's play outside!" Steward Zhou bluffed him with a sullen face, and he ran out in a flash of fright.

After the hot tea was brewed on the coffee table, Xu Si'an asked Steward Zhou to sit down, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did Sun Laosan of Xinglongzhuang receive the letter?"

Steward Zhou nodded, took a deep breath to gather himself together, and said: "Sun Laosan read the letter in front of me, and he has made it very clear. Sun Laosan said that he will leave tomorrow , took Mama Sun back to her hometown in Yanzhou, and never set foot in the capital again."

Xu Si'an held the teacup and thought for a moment, then gradually loosened his slightly frowned brows, nodded and said, "I'll leave this to Butler Zhou to deal with the aftermath."
