Chapter 21

Therefore, did the father's earlier agreement with Ruan that he could not have children in order to abide by the "family rules" set by his grandfather?

Xu Mingyi was surprised when he heard his grandfather's voice again.

"The same father and mother, there are also many people who hurt each other, let alone the difference between the legitimate and the common people is greater than heaven... However, people are born the same and call the same person as the father, but their identities are different. Among them, it is most likely to cause people's grievances. If people provoke one or two again, they will more or less cause trouble. The common children and girls will be innocent, but when something happens, they will no longer be innocent."

He has seen too many contradictions and even disasters caused by the division of legitimate and common people, so he is very reluctant to have such disputes in his own family, making his family unlike home.

To avoid it, the most secure way is to solve it from the root.

"In the final analysis, the reason why I set this rule is for the peace of my family, so as to ensure that my children and grandchildren grow up equally and steadily." Xu Qiwei looked at his eldest son with a solemn face: "I can't control you if you want to take a concubine, but if you don't control it properly after you go home, it will disturb the back house. Isn't it also because of the family rules set by me?"

In short - without this ability, what concubines do you learn from others!

Look at his two old concubines. They are safe after eating and drinking. But they haven't dared to add any moths to him over the years!

Xu Jin hung his head: "what my father taught me was that my son was really confused. He only paid attention to the surface compliance, but he wasted his time."

For Ruan Shi, he was really too careless. If he paid more attention, he would not nearly cause an accident to Zhaozhao.

"Although my son only holds a casual position in the court, there are always things I can't take into account about the back house. Today, my son promised his father that he will never take concubines again."

After this incident, he really did not dare to bring people home. With a large population, there will inevitably be contradictions. And I have to protect my children.

Hearing his promise, Cui's eyelids jumped wildly.

No more concubines?!

The old man nodded his head reluctantly.

The eldest son is a little self-conscious.

Xu Mingyi was in a mixed mood.

She heard that most of her father made a promise not to take concubines for her.

Although this family rule set by my grandfather seems "inhuman", it also has its own reason.

Grandfather thought carefully for his children and grandchildren and only wanted peace and harmony at home, but who could have expected that the overthrow of the town government would happen overnight. There was harmony within the family. However, the hidden murders outside doomed their Xu family to be restless.

Not long after, the town Lord in the hall spoke and sent his son and daughter-in-law away.

"Be busy with whatever you should be."

"Yes."

"My son quit."

“……”

The woman outside looked anxiously at Xu Mingyi, who was still leaning behind the door, and gave a crazy wink - girl, it's too much to go again!

Aware of the mistake, ah Zhu stepped forward and saw that her girl didn't know when to lean there and fell asleep

Ah Zhu acted neatly and simply carried the man up.

Ah Kui trotted all the way behind her and left here very quickly.

"Your family has such family rules. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

On the way back to the Shizi courtyard, Cui asked the servant girl to stay away from her and questioned her husband in a low voice.

Xu Jin sighed: "... That was decided after you married in."

Cui frowned and remained silent for a while, and said bluntly, "but I really don't want to regenerate."

She is different from Xu Jin and ordinary couples. As for the difference, only they know.

"Where do you want to go... We don't already have a clear time, so we don't have to regenerate."

Cui Shi was worried: "but can't you see that the old man didn't avoid me today and said these words to you just to remind me?"

Today, when she said she didn't want to have a baby, the old man's face was not simple.

Of course, she can understand the old man's mood. Although she doesn't want to have common children in the house, who doesn't want to be prosperous! There are only two sons in the family. The more they spread, the more prosperous they become. At least they have to keep their son!

But that's good. The second son doesn't even have a daughter-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law says she doesn't want to regenerate. There is a grandson in the family. Seeing that the leaves are getting thinner and thinner... Who can stand it?

But she's not easy!

She is not expected to have children. It is a great reluctance to have a son - she is tired of pretending to be positive every day to deal with the big and small affairs at home. Now she has such a heavy burden on her shoulders, but in fact she is just a lazy woman!

The more Cui thought, the more desperate he became.

"Don't worry, wait for me to persuade the second younger brother." Xu Jin said: "he's not young, so he can't really say it if he doesn't get a wife..."

Listening to her husband, it's no less than deceiving himself and others. Cui doesn't even bother to say what he reveals.

Expect your second uncle to get a wife?

It's better to count on tomorrow!

……

When Xu Mingyi woke up, it was noon the next day.

After dinner, she went to see Liu Yi who was locked up in the backyard firewood room.

"Cui Shi has asked all the questions that should be asked. Why, did you come to see me joke?" Liu Yi, who was tied up, leaned against the corner of the wall and looked at the girl sitting in the chair. He knew that he was lifeless. At this time, his red and swollen eyes were full of naked resentment.

Xu Mingyi smiled and said, "so you feel like a joke, too."

Liu Yi was instantly angered, sneered and said, "Xu Mingyi! Do you really think you're great... You just have a better background than me!"

"Isn't that great enough?" Xu Mingyi raised his jaw slightly, looked at her condescending, and whispered: "And isn't this good birth what you want - Ruan has truthfully said that she conspired with you to persuade her father to accept you as an adoptive daughter after she promised you to get rid of me. Do you want my identity so much? Do you even want to have such a stupid idea?"

"You..." in the deepest heart, the invisible man couldn't bear to be pierced, and the man was Xu Mingyi. Liu Yi was so embarrassed that his face was red and white, his dry and bleeding lips trembled, and he struggled to get up in anger.

Ah Zhu quickly picked up a piece of firewood and hit her knee. She fell to the ground again.

... Xu Mingyi really came to humiliate her!

Liu Yi clenched her teeth in pain and looked up to see the girl sitting there, who seemed to have inherent self-confidence between her delicate eyebrows and eyes. That touch of self-confidence has always hurt her eyes more than any valuable jewelry!

She can still find ways to get those things outside her body, and she can also work hard to learn poetry, calligraphy and painting. However, she can't get the confidence that she can only have when she was a child!

Xu Mingyi looked at her, squinting slightly and said, "when you see other people's things, you itch and want to steal. This is a disease. I heard that thieves with this disease can only be cured by cutting off their hands."

Ah Zhu's spirit perked up and hurried to touch the dagger hidden around her waist.

When ah Kui saw her move, she pressed her hand and whispered, "girl, it's just an analogy... I don't really want to chop her hand!"... She said to ask ah Zhu to read more books on weekdays to increase her knowledge!
