Chapter 411: 1 Family of Traitors, Only She is a Fool 37

early morning.

The mother of Wei Yin, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, suddenly fell ill in his hometown of Liuzhou. As the only son, he resolutely asked Zhou Yan to resign and return to his hometown to take care of his mother.

Zhou Yan was moved by his filial piety and approved the request on the spot, and gave him five years' salary.

.....

"Dad, grandma is clearly doing well in Liuzhou. The news just came the day before yesterday saying everything is fine. Why did you resign and return to Liuzhou?"

Wei Qingdai was so anxious that she almost fainted when she heard the news. She rushed to the front yard and watched Wei Yin instructing his men to pack their bags. She was so angry that she couldn't help herself.

She will be able to marry Yan Sili soon, but her father has resigned from his official position at this time, so how can she be worthy of him?

"You still have the nerve to ask!"

Wei Yin scolded her angrily, raised his hand with a dark face to slap her, but in the end he couldn't bear it and endured it.

"It's all because of you! Don't you know what you did yesterday?"

"I?",

Wei Qingdai frowned, "Dad, what do you mean? What does my resignation have to do with you..."

"How did you know that Yan Sili is the orphan of the Si family?"

Wei Yin asked with a dark face and a low voice.

Wei Qingdai paused, her expression changed.

"I, someone told me, what happened..."

"What's wrong!?",

Wei Yin's eyebrows stood up in anger, but he had to suppress his voice, so his lips trembled.

"Did you know that your father took me to the Swamp Prison on my way to the morning court today? He made me watch a prisoner's tongue being cut out! At first I didn't understand what was going on, but then he said something and I realized it was because of you!"

Wei Yin became more and more angry as he spoke.

"I always thought you were smart and sensible, but now it seems you inherited your mother's brains! How could you possibly mess with someone like Yan Sili? He was imprisoned by the Xia family, but he managed to escape alive and inflict heavy damage on the Xia family. I knew he was a ruthless person. I told you back then that he was no simple character, and that you shouldn't have any thoughts about him anymore. And sure enough, these past two years, as I expected, he's a living devil."

"Thanks to your father's accidental help this time, he spared our lives!"

Wei Qingdai is actually a smart person, but she was confused when it came to her feelings. Now she couldn't understand it anymore, and her legs suddenly went weak and she collapsed to the ground.

"Then, will Daddy's resignation save our family? Will he hunt us down?"

Wei Qingdai was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said,

"Father, please hand me over. I will die to save our family."

She should have listened to the nun and not provoked him.

Wei Yin felt distressed when he saw her so frightened. He squatted down to support her, touched her head, and sighed.

"It's okay. He said, 'I heard that Minister Wei's mother in Liuzhou is seriously ill. He needs to resign and return home to fulfill his filial duty. What a pity!' That's why your father resigned. I think he meant to let our family go. Don't be afraid. As long as we get to Liuzhou as soon as possible, he will let us go. Otherwise, he wouldn't have scared your father and me so early in the morning."

Wei Qingdai nodded quickly.

"My daughter will pack her bags now."

The Wei family was not a large family, just Wei Yin, Wei Qingdai and a dozen maids and servants, so they quickly drove their carriage out of the imperial city while the city gates were not closed.

.......

At the window of a private room on the third floor of Tongfu Restaurant, a man in tight clothes watched the backs of a group of people leaving.

The man had his hair tied up in a golden crown and a high ponytail. He had sharp features and upturned eyes, and looked like someone who was not to be messed with. He stood there quietly, squinting his eyes, and suddenly sneered.

Yan Sili got the box of things, but he didn't take action against the Xia family. This is not in line with his personality.

He is ruthless and decisive in his actions and will never wait until the next day to take revenge.

Are you afraid of the Xia family?

This possibility is obviously not very high... After excluding all possibilities, the most unlikely one may be the truth.

There was a strange light flashing in the man's eyes. Yan Sili was probably really attracted to the rumored spoiled queen.

You will know whether it is true or not by trying it.

If a person like him has a weakness, that will be the beginning of his miserable end...

.......

Xia Xizhi didn't wake up until noon. When he woke up, he saw the scars all over his body and his almost broken waist, and he was so angry that he cursed.

"What a dog!"

You said it would only take a while, but a whole night is considered a while?!

Thinking about last night, Xia Xizhi's face flushed and his teeth gnashed, "torturing" her like this, but that bastard Yan Sili left in a refreshed mood.

No, she has to find a chance to take revenge!

Xia Xizhi's teeth were grinding so hard that they made a crunching sound.

Guyu, who was waiting outside, said: Strange, there are rats in the Pepper Room?

.......

A villa somewhere in the imperial city.

"Unfilial thing!"

Fan slapped Xu Liangyu in the face and cursed angrily.

"The Three Obediences and Four Virtues are a woman's duty. If you don't let me return to the Xu family, you are making your mother unfaithful and unfilial! I should never have given birth to you! I want to return to the Xu family and make those guards leave immediately, otherwise I will hang myself here!"

Xu Liangyu had no expression on his face.

"Mother, it's impossible for me to let you leave. Just give up on this idea. You'd better not commit suicide. If you dare, your body will be thrown into the desolate mountains to feed the wolves. No one will worship you, and you will become a wandering ghost."

Fan was most concerned about what would happen after her death, so she refused to leave the Xu family. Xu Liangyu's words made her tremble with anger.

"You, you, you unfilial thing!"

Xu Liangyu ignored him and went out to tell the guard a few words.

"Keep an eye on her, don't let her get away."

"Yes!"

......

Xia Xizhi then sent someone to deliver the message to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

She asked Xia Fuzhan to donate 300,000 taels of silver worth of food, fodder, medicines and resettlement expenses to the victims in the name of the Xia family and herself, and sent her own people to supervise the work.

Instead of giving the good man to Zhou Yan, it would be better for her Xia family to gain a good reputation for themselves and prepare for her to rule the country from behind the scenes in the future.

When Xia Fuzhan received the news, he immediately called someone to do it without hesitation.

"Shao Ze, have you completed the task your sister assigned to you?" Xia Fuzhan asked casually.

Xia Shaoze said awkwardly,

"Well, the mission is halfway done."

Xia Fuzhan frowned.

"What do you mean by halfway done? If possible, your father and I will send someone to propose marriage as soon as possible. Your mother and I also think that the eldest daughter of the Xu family is quite good. She is brave and resourceful. If you can marry her, no, it would be a blessing for you if you can marry her."

Xia Shaoshi beside him chuckled.

"I guess half of what this means is that the third brother likes her, but she doesn't like him. It's one-sided, so it's only half done, haha."

Xia Shaoze was annoyed and said sullenly,

"Second brother, what you said is not true. She likes me, and I haven't decided whether to agree or not..."

Xia Shaoshi laughed even louder.

"Third brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Listen to my advice. If you like someone, you should be bold and take the initiative to pursue them. In my opinion, a girl like Miss Xu would prefer direct action. Why don't you just kneel down and ask for her hand in marriage? Maybe she'll agree right away, hehe..."

Xia Shaoze was angry.

"Second brother, a man's knees are as precious as gold. Besides, I, your younger brother, also hold an official position. How can I kneel down just like that? I've already said that she likes me, and I'm still considering..."

Xia Shaoze turned around and left angrily.

Xia Shaoshi laughed so hard that his body shook.

"Father, I think my second brother is the most stubborn person..."

Xia Fuzhan glanced at him and scolded him.

"What a rotten idea you came up with! What if he takes it seriously? She's a girl, and asking for her hand in marriage is the behavior of a lecher. You're already grown up, and you're still teasing your third brother."

"Oh, father, I was just joking. Besides, Miss Xu is not an ordinary lady. Who knows, my bad idea might accidentally lead to their relationship."

Xia Shaoshi opened his fan, fanned himself, and said meaningfully.

.......

After Xia Shaoze left the house, he kept thinking about Xia Shaoshi's words in his mind, muttering,

"If I kneel down and beg her for marriage, will she agree..."
