Xu Nianyue had never had a good impression of He's uncles, so she felt no burden in sending them away.

In other words, she couldn't bear to be cruel to her own mother who gave birth to her and raised her.

Xu Nianyue deliberately kept the He family in Lezhou City. The team of guards would go to South Lane every day to take charge and warn the He family not to wander around in Lezhou.

She first took her mother to Lingjingzhai, met her, and then took the next step based on the situation.

If his mother promised her that she would no longer support her uncles and accept to live in Lingjingzhai in her old age, she would take good care of her after driving the He family away.

I would bring my mother home during the holidays to share the joy of family.

But if her mother still wanted to plead with her uncles, then she could only leave her here alone and provide her with food and drink, which would be considered as her filial piety.

But she didn't expect that the He family followed her mother closely. Even though they were clearly not allowed to come to Lingjingzhai, they still came.

"Oh, Nian Yue, what kind of place are you in? It's so cold and windy that it makes my spine cold even on such a hot day."

The Xu family's servants only took He Xiangmei to the carriage, and the He family followed the carriage from South Lane to North Mountain.

The guards followed them all the way. They were a little uneasy at first, but when they saw Xu Nianyue, they felt more confident.

He Da's wife immediately raised her head and spoke in the tone of an elder.

The people couldn't be stopped and followed, and Xu Nianyue didn't plan to entertain them.

"Beishan is a Feng Shui treasure land in my Lezhou. If you don't like it, please leave."

Xu Nianyue asked someone to take them to another place, but this group of scoundrels refused to move.

"Hey, how do you talk to my mother like that?" He Da's son, Xu Nianyue's eldest cousin, jumped out and confronted her.

"Then what gives you the right to speak to me like this?"

"I can say whatever I want. I'm asking you about my jade pendant. The old woman asked someone to bring it to you. Bring it here quickly."

Xu Nianyue squinted at her scoundrel cousin and told him unhappily, "Change the money and use it as your entrance fee. Use the remaining money to treat the city guards to a drink."

Just one sentence can make people angry.

Instantly, the He family's eldest cousin yelled at Xu Nianyue, "Why are you using my jade pendant?"

Seeing that the fist was about to hit Xu Nianyue, the guards beside Xu Nianyue moved their feet.

"Ah, ah, ah... Stop hitting me, stop hitting me." The person being beaten was my eldest cousin.

"Brother Sen... stop it, Xu Nianyue, you bitch, tell your men to stop." He Da's wife quickly threw herself on his son who was in his thirties and couldn't stand up.

Xu Nianyue waved her hand and called back the guards she had borrowed from her aunt at the City Lord's Mansion.

"Today, I just want to talk to my mother about family matters. I don't want to be disturbed by irrelevant people."

"What do you mean? We are your relatives, how can we be unrelated?" From the day they entered the city, He Da felt that something was wrong. They were welcomed into the city, but were guarded like prisoners.

This made them very uncomfortable. They came to Lezhou to enjoy themselves, but looking at Xu Nianyue's appearance, it was probably different from what they expected.

Now he dared not separate from He Xiangmei.

"Uncle, are you sure you want to force me to use violence against you? You don't think I'm easier to talk to than my brother." Xu Nianyue called him uncle, but his eyes were sharp, and the majesty of managing people and affairs for many years was revealed, without any respect in his eyes.

She is very confident.

Although she only borrowed two Qinglong guards, they were more than enough to deal with the powerless He family.

"Sister, sister, you can't just stand by and watch your daughter being unfilial to you and disrespectful to the elders!" There was nothing new in the idea, the He family still planned to use the trick of filial piety.

Xu Nianyue was determined not to retort, but waited for her mother's attitude.

"My daughter is fine. It's your son who is not good." He Xiangmei dodged He Da's attempt to pull her hand and spoke lightly.

Xu Nianyue was somewhat happy that he did not speak up for the He family.

He Dazao noticed that his elder sister was not in a good state these days and was becoming less and less interested in paying attention to them.

But he thought that she was just abandoned by her son and felt a little lost.

Even if something was wrong with He Xiangmei, He Da didn't care much.

What he cared about was that as long as He Xiangmei was not dead, she would be his family's bargaining chip to ask Xu's nephew for filial piety money.

"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you? I am your biological brother. Your daughter is disrespectful and unfilial to me. You should help me!" Anxious He Da continued to reach out to He Xiangmei, trying to pull her closer to him.

But He Xiangmei was like a root under her feet, nailed to the spot and could not be pulled away.

She squinted her eyes at her closest brother and said sarcastically, "Help you? I've helped you enough. Helping you killed my daughter; helping you hurt my granddaughter; helping you caused my husband and children to separate; helping you will harm my other daughter again?"

For so many days, He Xiangmei did not show her resentment towards the He family or hatred towards herself.

Just like a puppet, I allow them to manipulate me.

Finally she met Xu Nianyue. Nianyue was very strong, so she didn't have to be afraid anymore.

He Xiangmei's sudden outburst made the He family look at each other in surprise.

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Nianyue ordered the guards to "invite" the still confused He family members out of the room.

Only mother and daughter were left in the room.

He Xiangmei finally stopped looking dull and looked at Xu Nianyue with eyes filled with apology and regret.

"Yueya, don't worry about them. Mom just came to see you and Xueya."

Xu Nianyue didn't know whether her mother had really changed or was just pretending, so she just replied calmly, "Yeah. My eldest sister lives in the mountains, let's go up together."

Xu Nianyue supported He Xiangmei and slowly walked out of the room, passing by the He family without even glancing at them.

After climbing three hundred steps, the mother and daughter finally arrived at Xu Nianxue's tomb.

After climbing up such high stairs, He Xiangmei, who had suffered serious injuries during the snowstorm, felt her legs become weak and she slowly sat down on the ground, leaning against Xu Nianxue's tombstone to rest.

Directly in front of the cemetery is a lush pine and cypress mountain. There is a canyon between the front mountains, through which you can just see the Lezhou wharf and the intersection of Sanshui.

Where there is wind, there is water.

It is just the beginning of July and the heat is still strong.

The coolness brought by the wind blowing through the mountains reminded He Xiangmei of Xu Nianxue's death in early winter.

"Xueya, you live so high up? Aren't you cold?"

As Xu Nianyue placed the offerings, she replied, "This is the spot my aunt asked a feng shui master to look at for my elder sister. This location will help my elder sister reincarnate quickly and have a smooth life in the next life."

He Xiangmei nodded in agreement. "Well, your aunt is really thoughtful. When your grandmother was alive, she always said that she was the lucky star of our family. Your grandmother really didn't lie! Your aunt's blessing has really benefited all of you..."

At this point, he smiled helplessly and said, "It's not just you. Even messy relatives like the He family are involved."
