AWB Chapter 91 Knowing the truth
Chapter 91 Knowing the truth
Bai Yuzhu was panicked for a moment, but facing Chen Fang's sinister look, she forced herself to calm down quickly.
She knew that she must never admit this, otherwise Chen Fang would never let her go!
"Is that what my aunt thinks of me?"
Bai Yuzhu laughed bitterly and mockingly, "Am I such a fool who acts without considering the consequences in my aunt's eyes? What good can it do for me if Jia'er elopes?"
Once the news gets out and people know that the daughter of the Xie family eloped with someone, can my daughter, as a daughter of the Xie family, still stay out of it?
Aunt, rest assured, even if I feel unhappy, I would never do such a foolish thing as digging my own grave and bringing trouble to my own daughter!"
Chen Fang, however, kept looking at her sinisterly. After a long while, she said quietly, "It better not be you. Otherwise, if I find out that you are involved in this matter, I will not forgive you!"
After a pause, she continued, "Also, you'd better pray that Jia'er doesn't suffer outside and comes back safely, otherwise... I still won't forgive you!"
After that, she stood up and whispered, "I have sent people to Biyang County to look for Xu Maochun's whereabouts, and there will be news back soon.
You can rest assured, he is my nephew after all. As long as he is still alive, the Chen family and I will do everything we can to save him and will never let anything happen to him.
Xie You is so injured now that he definitely cannot go out and see people. He has to stay at home and recuperate before returning to the academy.
"While he's at home, you'd better behave yourself and stop causing trouble! If he really starts to get suspicious of you, I'll see how you end up!"
After saying that, she snorted coldly, gave Bai Yuzhu a warning look, and walked away.
Bai Yuzhu bit her lips tightly and said nothing. She just stared at Chen Fang's back as she left, hatred surging in her heart.
It was not until Chen Fang's back disappeared and she left the room that she clenched her fists in anger and lay down in front of the dressing table, crying loudly.
She didn't notice that while she was crying, Xie You, who was lying on the bed, also clenched his fists.
Not long after, her wet nurse, Madam Liu, walked in quickly.
Seeing her crying bitterly, he quickly hugged her and comforted her.
This time, Bai Yuzhu didn't throw herself into her arms and cry. Instead, she tried hard to suppress her sobs, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief with a cold face, and interrupted what the nurse wanted to say: "I want to sit in the greenhouse. Please come with me, nurse."
She was too excited before and couldn't help but say a lot to Chen Fang.
Now that she had calmed down and looked at Xie You lying on the bed, she felt a little disgusted and fearful.
So she didn't want to say those private words to the wet nurse in front of Xie You.
The two of them walked out quickly. When they passed through the moon gate, the bead curtains collided, making a series of pleasant crisp sounds.
After waiting for a while, until the room fell into complete silence, Xie You, who was lying motionless on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were confused and frightened, and he couldn't believe the conversation he had just heard.
Who is Xu Maochun?
Bai Yuzhu called him a fool and said that her mother forced her to marry him. What did that mean?
And there is the child... She said that her mother used the child to force her and Xu Maochun to do things for her. What's going on?
Could it be that...could it be said that...
Xie You already had the answer in his mind, but he was unwilling to believe it no matter what.
How could this be?
This can't be true!
He didn't believe it, he must have heard it wrong!
Xie You covered his ears with his hands in pain, but the conversation between the two kept echoing in his mind, tormenting him repeatedly and making his heart feel like it was being cut by a knife and full of holes.
He wanted to howl in pain, but no sound came out.
He is afraid.
There are maids guarding outside, and they will definitely hear him if he makes a sound!
What would Bai Yuzhu and Chen Fang do if they knew that he had heard those conversations?
Bai Yuzhu is Chen Fang's cousin, but she is just a poor child left behind after her late wife died of complications during childbirth.
Chen Fang raised him for many years, and he regarded her as his biological mother since he was a child.
He thought that even if he was not as good as Xie Yi, Xie Xin and Xie Jia in Chen Fang's heart, Chen Fang had raised him for many years and must treat him as her own son.
But when Bai Yuzhu called him a fool, Chen Fang did not refute.
She even knew that Bai Yuzhu had another man in her heart, but she just hid it from him on purpose!
Does Chen Fang really treat him as her son?
If she had any sincerity towards him, she probably wouldn't treat him like this!
Xie You laughed at himself, tears welling up in his eyes.
He thought that as long as he pleased Chen Fang, she would be nice to him.
It turned out that everything was just his wishful thinking.
Even Bai Yuzhu knew about it and advised him to return to the academy to study and prepare for the imperial examination. However, Chen Fang called him back home and asked him to help find Xie Jia.
She doted on Xie Jia so much, but she kept it a secret from Xie Yi and Xie Xin, and was unwilling to call them back from the Imperial College to help, so she only asked him to help look for her.
In her eyes, her daughter Xie Jia is not as good as her two sons Xie Yi and Xie Xin.
And he, the child left by his late wife, was even worse than Xie Jia. He was just a puppet and tool that she manipulated at will.
In order to control him, Bai Yuzhu and Xu Maochun, Chen Fang forced Bai Yuzhu to marry him, keeping him in the dark and becoming a cuckold.
No wonder Bai Yuzhu called him a fool.
Isn't he just a fool? He's been manipulated for so many years, but he still keeps deceiving himself and refusing to face reality.
Even after hearing the conversation with his own ears, he still refused to believe it and wanted to continue deceiving himself.
Xie You grinned silently and laughed at himself.
But soon, his smile gradually became distorted, and undercurrents surged in his eyes, like two terrible whirlpools.
……
When Xie Yun returned home after getting off work, he found out that Xie You had been beaten into a pig's head by Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao.
He was so angry that his face turned black and he hurried to see Xie You.
At this time, Xie You had already "woken up" and was reading in the study.
He looked at Xie You's bruised, swollen, and miserable face, and his rage intensified. He ordered in a cold voice: "Go and ask the young master to come over!"
The servants saw that he was angry and did not dare to delay, so they ran to call for help.
Xie Yunze looked at Xie You with a loving face and said to him in a resounding voice, "Don't worry, Dad will never forgive that bastard Xie Xiu. I will definitely seek justice for you!"
Xie You lowered his eyes and couldn't help shivering when he thought of Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao.
Soon, Xie Xiu was brought over by the servants.
Xie Yun was sitting in the study. When he saw him, he immediately scolded him, "You bastard, kneel down!"
Xie Xiu glanced at Xie You indifferently, lifted his clothes, and knelt in front of Xie Yun.
Xie Yun glanced at him coldly, picked up the tea bowl and smashed it at him.
Unexpectedly, Xie Xiu dodged it directly.
The tea bowl slammed heavily onto the floor tiles behind him, and with a crisp "bang", it instantly shattered into pieces, with fragments flying everywhere.
Xie Yun slammed the table in dissatisfaction, snorted coldly and scolded: "You evil creature, how dare you hide?"
"I'm worried that Father will get sick from being angry," Xie Xiuli said confidently. "Also, my wife has been in the capital for a long time and has been doing nothing. It's really not right. So I want her to help manage the property left by Mother. What do you think, Father?"
What does Xie Yun think?
He suspected that Xie Xiu wanted to piss him off to death!
