Drunk Bamboo

The eldest daughter of the Xie family was forced to the point of choking with sobs.

Xie Yuyun stood up, walked to Xie Yupei and confronted Hua Qinfeng.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be so aggressive. Yupei is also feeling bad. Her starting point is for the good of everyone. I believe she has no selfish motives."

Xie Yupei raised her head, her face full of gratitude, and her eyes instantly turned red.

No one wanted to admit defeat, but the person involved, Xie Yuzhu, kept looking at the bed.

She clearly saw Xie Juesheng, who was lying on the bed, moved a little and seemed to have woken up.

Hua Qinfeng was about to slam the table and stand up, but Xie Yuzhu stood up before him.

"Selfishness? Are all the selfless Xie family members selfless? Am I the only one who is selfish?"

The Huaqin trend has collapsed.

Xie Yuyun said in disbelief: "Yuzhu, I thought you were open-minded, straightforward and easy-going. Could it be that the prosperity of Zhongdu is really so fascinating and confusing?"

Hua Qinfeng glared at him fiercely, "No one can say a word about her in front of me."

Chaoyang also held the hilt of the sword, ready to draw the sword at any time.

The room suddenly became quiet again.

Xie Yuzhu walked slowly in the middle of the room and deliberately took two steps towards the bed.

He raised his voice and spoke in a calm tone, "I don't hate anyone, nor do I feel wronged. But you just put me on the spot, reminding me over and over again that the Xie family owed me, telling me again and again how difficult and dangerous it was, and asking for my forgiveness."

Turning to the direction of Xie Juesheng, he suddenly said angrily:

"Father, you always stand on the highest moral ground. You do things against your will but still pretend to be noble and aggrieved. You are depressed, you feel guilty, you feel uneasy. These are all your own obsessions, not added by me. You are sick, you are the weak one, and I am the cause of your illness. But that is obviously because you have neglected me since I was a child, and you gave up me for the sake of the overall interests of the Xie family!"

The person lying on the bed trembled noticeably.

After hearing these words, Xie Yupei's grievance suddenly disappeared. It turned out that Yuzhu's grievance was greater and deeper than hers.

He looked at Xie Yuzhu with guilt in his eyes.

Xie Yuyun was surprised and confused. She followed Xie Yuzhu's gaze and looked at the person on the bed.

"Being angry is harmful to your health. If you are really angry, I will chop the Xie family with my sword to relieve your anger."

It was the first time that Hua Qinfeng saw her lose her temper, and he hurried to comfort her. Not because he was afraid that the matter would get out of hand, but because he was afraid that she would be sad and hurt.

It would be better for him to do this kind of physical work while she just sits and watches.

Xie Yuzhu pulled his hands away and motioned for him to look at the bed.

Hua Qinfeng saw Xie Juesheng's chest heaving violently on the bed, and his fingers trembling slightly.

I immediately understood Xie Yuzhu's intention.

Xie Juesheng woke up early, and she was deliberately provoking him.

"Ask me for forgiveness... Then you can return to being the noble Xie family with spotless bones and the highly respected dean of Baiyun College!"

Xie Yuzhu stared closely at Xie Juesheng's movements.

Still not enough.

Have to be more ruthless.

Xie Yuzhu kept up the good work.

"Ask yourself, when I said I wanted to marry to Zhongdu, did you feel relieved? Because I am the most useless and least like child of the Xie family. If I leave, it will not cause any loss to the Xie family. Even if I embarrass myself in Zhongdu, it is not the Xie family's fault. Because I have been weak since I was a child and have no time to study."

Xie Yupei spoke up for her father, "Yuzhu, why are you so rude to father?"

"Isn't he unconscious? Can't he hear anything?" He sneered, "Or is he pretending to sleep? Has he been pretending to sleep all this time?"

"Father really cares about you. He used his connections in the court and asked grandfather to come forward, all in order to find someone in the court who can take care of you!" These were things that Xie Juesheng was not allowed to say, and few people in the Xie family knew about it. But at this moment, Xie Yupei could not bear it.

She accused Xie Yuzhu, "You know the Xie family's ancestral precepts, you can't enter the government or get involved in court affairs, but my father broke the precepts for you. For this, he knelt in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights!"

A flash of surprise flashed across Xie Yuzhu's eyes.

Soon he continued to pretend to be cruel.

This time his eyes were more determined.

"I married to Zhongdu voluntarily. It was my own choice. The Xie family didn't force me. I wanted to escape from the Xie family. I don't fit in with the Xie family. I wanted to leave here. It was my own selfish desire."

“No matter what the future holds, I don’t need to thank anyone for being responsible for me, and I don’t need to feel guilty about it.”

She looked at the jade pendant with a cold tone, "You and I are not close, and I am not close to you. My father never loved me, and I never served him for a day, and never fulfilled my responsibilities as a child."

Xie Yupei's hands were shaking with anger.

Is this a complete break with the Xie family? !

Xie Yuzhu turned around, walked to the bedside, and whispered to Xie Juesheng, "Now, I am living a good life, and the prince treats me very well. Even if the road ahead is difficult, I will not regret it, nor will I give up."

"If one day the prince and I are disliked by His Majesty, we will first sever our ties with the Xie family and not get involved with them!"

"From now on, we owe each other nothing, and we shall live in peace!"

All is said and done.

There was nothing she could do.

Old man, you are really patient.

"puff--"

A mouthful of bright red blood spurted out of Xie Juesheng's mouth, staining the quilt red.

"Father!" Xie Yupei exclaimed and rushed over without caring about her image.

"Uncle!" Xie Yuyun followed closely behind.

"Yuzhu, how can you be so cold and heartless! You've made my father so angry that he vomited blood!"

"Get out of the way!" Xie Yuzhu said with a serious expression.

"What else are you going to do to father?" Xie Yupei was completely furious.

Hua Qinfeng waved his arm, and an invisible and powerful force pushed Xie Yupei and Xie Yuyun aside.

He roared, "She said get out of the way! You guys didn't have ears to hear it!"

Xie Yuyun immediately grabbed Xie Yupei's hand and prevented her from moving forward.

"Yunling, needle." Xie Yuzhu stretched out his hand.

"Yes."

Yunling moved quickly, and Xie Yuzhu acted without hesitation, moving the needle as smoothly as flowing water, which was an eye-opener.

It is clear at first glance that this is not a one-day job and not something that ordinary people can do.

After an incense stick of time, Xie Juesheng's breathing became smooth and his complexion gradually became rosy, no longer as pale as before.

"The blood clots have been vomited out, and the blood can flow smoothly. I have had an acupuncture treatment, it's nothing serious, I just need to rest for a few days."

Xie Yuzhu stood up and made room for him without any reluctance.

Seeing that neither of them said anything, he added, "If you are worried, ask a doctor to take a look."

Xie Yupei hadn't come back to her senses yet, "You..."

"When father wakes up, if he still wants to see me, I will come and pay my respects again."

After saying these words, she probably won’t be able to be close to the Xie family anymore.

Hua Qinfeng took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Her tense nerves finally relaxed, her shoulders relaxed, and she leaned gently into his arms.

Hua Qinfeng put his arms around her waist and almost lifted her up.

"You must be hungry. I'll ask Chaoyang to go out and buy your favorite crystal steamed dumplings, boiled fish fillets, and braised pork elbow..."

This is Nanmi, not Zhongdu. Where can I buy these delicious foods?

"Okay." She smiled and responded softly.

Only after their figures disappeared did Xie Yupei turn around and check on her father.

She wondered, "Did Yuzhu just say those words on purpose to make father angry, but in fact it was to cure father's illness?"

Xie Yuyun: "She is smarter than any of us."

"how is this possible?"

"Yuzhu just became enlightened later than the average person, but we didn't see it, nor did we notice it. No one in the Xie family cherished this unpolished gem."
