Chapter 86 Beating Up the Resentful Younger Brother
Xie Ying has always been a person who knows how to reciprocate, so Chen Fang and Bai Yuzhu's nightmares became more serious, and they became visibly haggard.
Bai Yuzhu not only dreamed of Xu Maochun's tragic death every night, but also dreamed that her affair with Xu Maochun was exposed, her two children were called bastards, and Xie You threw them to death, poisoned them, drowned them, and deliberately let them die of diseases...
The nightmares every night tortured her terribly. Even when facing Xie You during the day, she couldn't control the anger and resentment in her heart, as if Xie You had really killed her child.
The concierge's random accusations really irritated her and left her with a deep psychological trauma.
She even had nightmares at night, always dreaming that her affair with Xu Maochun was exposed and her child became a bastard.
This made it impossible for her to face Xie You calmly.
Whenever she saw him, she would remember how Xie You cruelly killed her child in her dream.
So during the day, whenever Xie You approached the child, she would neurotically snatch the child away and then excitedly drive him out.
It was only because her wet nurse and maid saw that the situation was not good and helped her cover up and smooth things over again and again that Xie Youcai did not become suspicious.
But as they quarreled again and again, their relationship became increasingly strained, and even the two children were frightened and kept silent, not daring to speak loudly.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, her nurse advised her: "Young Madam, it's not a good idea to continue like this. If this happens too often, even if the Second Young Master is confused, he will probably become suspicious.
And then there’s Li Kun’s damn nonsense…”
But just as she said this, Bai Yuzhu interrupted her excitedly: "Don't mention him to me!"
Her face flushed red, her chest heaving violently, and she was obviously very angry. It took her a long while to calm down. She asked coldly, "I asked you to chop him up and feed him to the dogs. Did you do it?"
The nurse said helplessly with a bitter face: "Young Madam, you also know that his father and mother are both Madam's confidants. Although the master asked to sell them out, how could Madam be willing to do so?
After that bastard died, Madam had his father and mother take his body out of the house, and no one knows where they went.
Bai Yuzhu clutched her handkerchief in anger, her teeth chattering. "She's truly my good aunt! In her eyes, I'm no better than a servant!"
The nurse quickly comforted her: "Young Madam, you can't think like that. After all, you have used them for many years. If you are too cruel, it will inevitably make people feel disheartened.
And she was afraid that she would have to continue using them. Since Li Kun had already died, she had to let them bury the body properly.
You are Madam's niece, so Madam naturally values you more, otherwise she wouldn't have let Li Kun die."
Bai Yuzhu sighed: "It's a pity for the jade."
The nurse sighed, "There's nothing we can do about this. We have Xie Xiu to blame. It was just a small matter, but he went to the Imperial Academy to confront the master and caused a three-court trial.
Otherwise, that damn Li Kun wouldn't have said such nonsense and implicated Feicui."
Bai Yuzhu's face was gloomy. "Have her family members been settled? They won't talk nonsense, right?"
The nurse smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. They have all been arranged to stay at the farm where you came with your dowry. It's far from the capital, so they won't dare to say anything nonsense."
"That's good." Bai Yuzhu sighed softly and said, "We can't go on like this, we have to let Xie You return to the academy.
Now, whenever I see him, I’m afraid he’ll hurt the child and I can’t control myself at all.
If he comes a few more times, he'll definitely get suspicious, and we'll have to send him away."
The nurse was worried: "Is the young lady still having nightmares? She has already drunk the tranquilizing medicine and used the tranquilizing incense, why are they not working?"
Bai Yuzhu frowned, looking worried: "There has been no news from him, but Xie Xiu came to the capital safely, how can I feel at ease?
Nanny, I'm so angry! If my good aunt hadn't forced him to go, how could he have disappeared? Something must have happened to him!
I’m afraid now... I’m afraid that he has died outside, in some corner that I don’t know.
This way, even if I go looking for him, I will never find his body..."
Bai Yuzhu said this and threw herself into her nurse's arms and burst into tears. The nurse hurriedly hugged her to comfort her, and felt her frail body trembling with tears, which made her feel even more distressed.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. He will be fine. Don't scare yourself..."
The wet nurse kept stroking Bai Yuzhu's back to comfort her, but her heart was beating fast.
There was no news of Xu Maochun after he left, but Xie Xiu arrived in the capital safely. It was obvious that Xu Maochun had failed in his plan and might even have died outside.
But this doesn't make sense. Xie Xiu has been in the countryside all these years. How could he be a match for Xu Maochun?
Did Xu Maochun encounter another accident, or did someone help Xie Xiu?
Who will help him?
The nanny has been thinking about this problem these days, but she can't figure it out.
Fortunately, after crying for a while, Bai Yuzhu finally calmed down. She asked the kitchen to prepare Xie You's favorite dishes, and then personally delivered them to Xie You.
That night, she pulled Xie You aside and cried, telling him about the difficulties she had faced over the years, and finally made Xie You agree to return to the academy.
In fact, Xie You was also preparing for this imperial examination. He had already passed the examination and only needed to participate in the spring examination next year.
After Xie Jia eloped with someone, Chen Fang needed someone to help run errands, so she sent someone to the academy to call Xie You back to help.
Unfortunately, Xie You ran around everywhere but still couldn't find any trace of Xie Jia.
Chen Fang was bedridden again and was always worried that Xie Jia was being bullied outside. How could he bear to leave all this behind and go back to the academy?
Bai Yuzhu had tried to persuade him, but Xie You had always refused to agree. He felt that his family needed him, and Chen Fang was sick in bed, so he had to be filial to his mother and take care of his sister.
However, during this period, Bai Yuzhu always quarreled with Xie You during the day because of nightmares at night, which made Xie You very anxious.
So after she begged and cried this time, Xie You finally relented and was willing to go back to the academy to continue studying and prepare for the imperial examination.
Before leaving, Xie You went to see Xie Xiu specifically.
When Xie Xiu heard his intention, he was so angry that he wanted to beat him out with a broom on the spot!
"What did you say? Didn't Xie Jia go to stay at the Chen Mansion for a while? Did she elope with a strange man?"
Xie Xiu feigned shock, his tone tinged with undisguised anger. "How could such a thing happen in her family? How could she, a daughter of a wealthy family, elope with someone?"
"Keep your voice down!" Xie You scolded dissatisfiedly, "This concerns Sister Jiaer's reputation, why are you so loud?"
Xie Xiu looked innocent and confident: "If you hadn't suddenly come to tell me this, I wouldn't have been so shocked that I accidentally cried out in surprise."
After a pause, he continued to question, "You just said that you wanted to go back to the academy to prepare for the imperial examination and asked me to find the whereabouts of Sister Jiaer?"
Xie You said confidently: "Yes, my grandfather is old, my father is busy with official duties, my mother is ill, and I also have to prepare for next year's spring exam. Now you are the only one who has free time in the family.
And you are the eldest brother, it is your responsibility to find your sister, you can't shirk it! Even if you have a grudge against your mother, your sister Jiaer has never wronged you, you can't just watch her wander around!"
"boom!"
Xie Xiu couldn't bear it any longer and punched him in the face.
