Mr. Xu tried his best to break Xu Daoqing's legs, but in the end everyone begged for mercy and the sentence was changed to a hundred canes and one year of confinement.
After dealing with Xu Daoqing, the three masters of the Xu family said to Xu Lang: "It is indeed Chunjun who has been wronged in this matter. Please comfort her on our behalf."
Xu Lang then said: "According to my wishes, take the fifth girl to live with me for a few days first, and then come home. Anyway, her uncle will go out tomorrow and will not come back until the twelfth lunar month. Originally, I also wanted her to go
To keep me company."
Xu Chunjun took Xu Lang's carriage. Because the snow was already deep, the carriage could only move slowly.
After leaving the alley, Xu Lang asked Xu Chunjun: "Do you feel any injustice in dealing with Dao Qing like this?"
Xu Chunjun smiled at first, shook his head slightly and said: "This punishment is already quite severe. Don't kill someone with a nod. The key is to make him change, not to punish him."
"Good boy, you are so sensible." Xu Lang said with a relieved smile, "I also know that you can definitely figure it out, and you won't think like some people that your elders favor men."
The reason why Xu Daoqing's legs were not broken was because even breaking his legs would not prevent him from becoming useless.
Moreover, if he really becomes disabled, his way out will be completely cut off.
There is another thing, if you don’t look at it, you should think about Mr. Xu.
After all, Xu Daoqing is his biological son, and no father really wants his son to be disabled.
"Besides, I've thought about it for you. If you really do something too extreme, you will definitely be resented." Xu Lang said, "I'm also afraid that outsiders will criticize you for this."
After all, Xu Daoqing is also a member of his own family. If he breaks his leg, Xu Chunjun will lose his support.
As the old saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to resolve household affairs. It is not because he cannot distinguish between right and wrong, but because beyond right and wrong, there is more blood and family ties.
This must not be considered in vain, otherwise you will be no different from outsiders.
Naturally, Xu Lang knew this. Her harsh words before were just to make Wei's mother and son have a better memory, so that they would be less likely to plot against Xu Chunjun in the future.
"I hope that after this incident, the third brother can understand the truth that blood is thicker than water." Although Xu Chunjun said this, based on her understanding of Wei's mother and son, they were afraid that they would only hate themselves more because of this, instead of reflecting on themselves.
Today she let Xu Daoqing go, entirely for her father's sake.
"Next year, you will get married, so the disputes between your mother's family will naturally be less involved." Xu Lang said, "It has been really hard for you for so many years."
As the former head of the Xu family, Xu Lang naturally knew the situation of each house.
Given the status of the Xu family at that time, they were naturally cautious in choosing a mate.
However, Mr. Xu was born with a congenital deficiency and could not see clearly, so he had to settle for the next best thing when choosing a mate.
Wei's family background was not high, but the elders in the family wanted to get attached to her, and the matchmaker was very well-known, so she became a matchmaker.
From the moment Wei entered the family, he had kept his duty. Although he was a bit petty, he didn't show any other serious problems.
Later, the Xu family fell and lived a hard life, and she gradually became mean and selfish.
The terrible thing is that she is too spoiled with children, which is very inconsistent with the Xu family's usual admonitions.
However, none of the children she gave birth to were like the Xu family. They all followed the Wei family and were short-sighted and selfish.
The family affairs were complicated and Xu Lang couldn't take care of them, so he thought that as long as they didn't make big mistakes, that would be all.
After all, the children of most families are all mixed, and the ten fingers stretched out are not the same length, so there is no need to force it.
Xu Chunjun knew that Xu Lang was worried about his family's affairs, so he explained: "Auntie, please relax! Now our family is gradually getting better. With my uncle and the others here, we can always control it."
"I hope so!" Xu Lang said, "If you can find your way back, that would be great. This man! What other people say or persuade is not the most important thing. You have to know that you are wrong and redeem yourself.
You can get ahead."
"What my aunt said is," Xu Chunjun returned his hand stove to Xu Lang, "the days are still long, let's live it and see how it goes!"
The aunt and nephew talked about Xu Chunqiao's marriage again. Her marriage was decided two years ago, and they will be officially married in February next year.
The wedding date of Xu Chunjun and her was six months apart, so Xu Chunjun specially brought sewing baggage with him this time.
Avoid acupuncture in the first month, and you have to do almost everything before the new year.
By the time we arrived, the snow had already fallen half a foot deep.
Xu Lang arranged for Xu Chunjun's three servants to live in Nuange in the west, and specially assigned two stout women and two girls to serve them.
Although the house was unoccupied, it was cleaned every day and a fire was lit every two days, so it was not cold.
Because of the commotion, everyone didn't even have dinner.
Chen Qin had already ordered someone to go to the restaurant to order food and bring it to his home.
Xu Lang originally wanted Xu Chunjun to eat at the same table with them, but Xu Chunjun refused and just asked the maid to set aside a bowl of rice for her and pick out a few vegetables.
It's not because of unfamiliarity or embarrassment, it's just that I don't want to disturb the couple.
Xu Lang and Chen Qin were sweeter and more affectionate than ordinary young couples. Besides, Chen Qin was about to go out, so Xu Chunjun naturally stepped aside knowingly.
Xu Lang asked someone to bring more food, and said: "Tell the two of Ziling and Green Shield to eat too. Let's eat early so that we can wait for the five girls to rest. It's such a cold day and they are frightened. It's really difficult for them."
When the food was put on the table, Xu Chunjun called Ziling and Lvchun to come over, but the two refused.
Xu Chunjun said: "It doesn't matter if you do it once or twice. Besides, we are at my aunt's house now, and you are also guests! Today is extraordinary, and this meal should be a shock."
After hearing what she said, the two of them sat down sideways.
"Zi Ling, is it scary today?" Xu Chunjun gave her a piece of fish, "I was so busy earlier that I didn't even have time to ask you in detail."
"Don't worry, girl, I'm fine." Zi Ling said with a smile, "That Ah Ban is very good at martial arts, those people didn't touch me at all."
She asked Zi Ling to follow her because she was cautious and fearful that the green shield's fury would reveal its flaws.
"I'm really pissed off!" Lvchun kept holding his breath, "Young master three, it's not unfair to break his leg. How can you be such a bastard!"
"Thanks to our girls' caution, if we make one mistake, we will be doomed." Zi Ling is not afraid, "We must be more careful in the future and be on guard against others."
The three masters and servants finished their meal, cleaned up and washed, and then went to bed to rest.
Xu Chunjun lay there, stroking the jade pendant left to her by her biological mother, Aunt He.
If it hadn't broken to pieces today, I wouldn't have been extra vigilant.
It sounds like a real fluke.
I looked extremely calm on the face, but I was also worried and scared in my heart.
When Aunt He died of illness, this thing was specially left for Xu Chunjun as a memory, and the rest was given to the Wei family.
She didn't leave too many things to Xu Chunjun because she knew that even if she left them, the young Xu Chunjun wouldn't be able to keep them, and she would also incur resentment.
She held the two jade pendants in her hands, thinking that she would have to ask a silversmith to repair them in a few days and keep them with her.
