Chapter 222 Complete Severance

It was almost at the fork intersection, Shu Yao tied a dart bag around Shu Jie's waist. The darts inside were all quenched with medicine. The soft sword around the waist also quenched with medicine. The bags she handed over were also various convenient porcelain medicine balls: "Brother, if you encounter those people, you don't have to waste time with them."

Shujie nodded. He had to complete the "loyalty" and "righteousness" for his father as quickly as possible, and then rushed back. At this moment, who would provoke him and hinder him, he was not in the mood to play with the "narrow meaning".

Xia Linxuan looked at Shujie lovingly: "Be careful on the road, and you must not underestimate the enemy at any time." He knew that Shujie had taken the marrow-cleaning fruit, and also knew that his Shadowless Palm and Shadowless Sword Technique had been mastered. He could easily gain the upper hand when holding a weak woman and fighting against Mr. Bai Lian. In this world, there should be no two people who can defeat Shujie.

"Dad," Shujie choked, "Don't worry."

He wanted to say "You're waiting for me to come back", but... if it's painful to hold on, he would rather father... than hold on anymore.

Shujie left with a horse and the carriage convoy entered Yulin Town and went straight to Xia's house.

Xia Linxuan wanted to go directly to Baihou Mountain Cemetery. Shu Yao patiently comforted him: "Dad, you can experience it yourself. You are still in good spirits. Let's have a good rest at home first. Yao'er asked someone to build a thatched hut in front of the grave of her mother and aunt. Soon. You can live in it and talk to them more comfortably, right?"

Jin Xida also comforted: "Yes, Tingwei, don't you want to talk to Rou'er well? I'll be with you. Now the weather is getting hot, and we enjoy the coolness in the mountains."

Xia Linxuan knew that his children and Jin Xida felt sorry for him, and he felt that his energy seemed to last for a few days. He wanted to wait for the news that his eldest son had arrived in Beijing safely. Although Shu Jie was very skilled in martial arts, there were mountains outside the mountain and people outside, how could he not worry?

When the Xia family heard that Xia Linxuan was not dead, they were back, and they rushed over. Unfortunately, there were palace guards and twenty guards brought by Afeng to guard them layer by layer, and only the clan leader and the fifth grandfather were able to enter the door. Not to mention the clan members, even Yang Yishan who rushed to the palace after hearing the news was stopped. The father-in-law Shunzi only said that Xia Linxuan was sick and could not disturb him, and the magistrate Yang did not dare to say much.

The Xia Mansion started to bluff and shout at the guards that it was their brothers who were sick inside.

Xia Linxuan came back and let them see a glimmer of hope. Shujie and the other three were too young and had no scruples, but Xia Linxuan dared not be unscrupulous, right? Xia Linxuan just came back and fell ill again. I guess those three little bastards would not tell him anything. It just so happened that Shujie didn't know where he went, so they could not tie themselves to the Xia house's downwind boat at this time? Judging from the situation, Xia Linxuan must be seriously ill and dying. It would be too late to wait for him to know anything, right?

Unfortunately, I thought it was very beautiful, and I had to go into the Xia house! Those guards with dead faces ignored them and ignored them with "full confidence". The father-in-law Shunzi looked at them with contempt like a beggar. Xia Ruoxue, the former second wife of Duke Anguo's mansion, couldn't stand it anymore and ran away in panic.

The patriarch and the fifth grandfather were stunned when they saw Xia Linxuan. He was almost dying of illness. Shu Yao explained from the side that Xia Linxuan was seriously injured.

Both clan leaders were smart people. Seeing that Shujie's three brothers went to pick up the seriously injured Xia Linxuan back under the secret order, and Gao Mingde, the "miracle doctor" of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was taking care of him and guarded him layer by layer. He also had his own guesses in his heart. Not only did he not mention Xia Linxuan's place of visit in recent years, he didn't even ask where Shujie had gone. He just comforted Xia Linxuan to take a good rest.

Of course, when I went out, the patriarch and the fifth grandfather did not dare to express Xia Linxuan's condition, which was consistent with the words of the father-in-law Shunzi: If you are sick, you should not disturb me.

Shujie was not here, so the two of them had to go to Shuyao and his brother: "Your father is not dead, so the coffin in the grave should be lifted out."

Shu Yao said: "That's right, the eldest brother has made arrangements. We are about to discuss this with the patriarch's grandfather and the fifth grandfather."

When the clan leader heard that Xia Zhai was going to build a hut in the grave so that Xia Linxuan could guard the grave, he hurriedly gathered the young and strong clan members to come over, and the neighbors on Xitang Street also put down their affairs and rushed to help.

There were many people and great power. In just one day, two simple but sturdy wooden houses were built, with thick thatched roofs. Carpenter Xu carried the newly prepared bed to the new house. Jiujin's wife laid three thick and soft new mattresses, and made two soft big pillows with Ajuan's wife. They didn't know what serious illness Xia Linxuan had, but it was always good to sleep comfortably. Moreover, the new house, new bed, new mattress and new pillows were good for auspiciousness, right? Maybe the disease would be cured.

The coffin in Xia Linxuan's tomb was lifted up. Although he knew it was a "bad person", the Xia family still found a wasteland and buried the coffin in a hurry. The dead were the most important, which could be regarded as accumulating good deeds for Xia Linxuan.

The empty tomb was not filled. The patriarch and the fifth grandfather had met Xia Linxuan. They knew that Uncle Rong had already purchased a good coffin. They also guessed that Xia Linxuan was not in too long, so they simply left the tomb so empty. Maybe it would be better if they "rush".

The next morning, Xia Linxuan was placed on a soft chair and carried to Baihou Mountain. Then the Xia family's cemetery was surrounded by guards. No one except the people of Xia's house and the patriarch and the fifth grandfather were allowed to approach.

People in Yulin Town are all telling the legendary story of Xia Linxuan's "resurrection from the dead". There are all kinds of speculations. The most widely circulated one actually says that Xia Linxuan is a member of the emperor's dark power "Nether". He pretended to die four years ago and went on a secret mission. Now he has retired and has been seriously injured before returning.

This kind of rumor scared Zhen Dafu and Zhen Kebao, who had just arrived in Yulin Town. They knew that the ancestor worship ceremony in Xia’s house would be grand and that the surrounding officials would come, and Zhen Dafu had long wanted to present the "uncle" program.

Fortunately, Zhen Kebao and Zhu were more rational. Zhen Kebao was in the capital for more than two months and knew that his family would not take advantage of the fact that his ancestor worship ceremony was almost completed. Shujie and his three brothers and sisters were about to return to Beijing before they came to see him off. Zhu's proposal was to get closer, gradually "naturally" increase exchanges, and gradually fade away the influence of the Zhen family's public claim that they had severed relations with Zhen Zirou and the rumors that "Xia Mansion sold her niece."

Who would have thought that as soon as I stepped into Yulin Town, I heard that Xia Linxuan was not dead and was back.

Someone who recognized them smiled and said, "Captain Xia is a meritorious minister now. You are trying to sell his children. How dare you come back now? Are you afraid that he will chop you up?"

Zhen Dafu was once beaten up by Xia Linxuan, and was always very afraid of this brother-in-law. If Xia Linxuan had not been "dead", no matter how much he wanted to curry favor with Murong's mansion, he would not have dared to do those things back then. Now Xia Linxuan is "resurrected", and Shu Yao's brothers and sisters who are unforgivable can still not complain? At this moment, let alone Xia Linxuan is a "major hero". Even if he is a first-class official, he would not dare to come to the door to find a beating.

Because of this kind of rumor, there were also the people in the Xia Mansion who knew that the miracle doctor Gao Mingde was "in-personal diagnosis and treatment" Xia Linxuan. Looking at the guards, isn't this the royal grace? If the second brother had not made any great contribution, could he get such grace?

Xia Linyu and Xia Ruoxue helped Mrs. Xia, the legitimate mother, to visit Xia Linxuan. There was a good thing, and the gossipers immediately spread the news, and a large number of people rushed to watch the fun. What a "loving and generous" legitimate mother!

Xia Linxuan had long known from Jin Xida that the Xia family's various plots against Shujie and his sister over the years, so how could he be moved by such clumsy tricks? Four years ago, he was not a soft bun, otherwise he would not have used a thousand taels of silver to take off his money. Compared to Shujie and the others, he naturally had more concerns.

However, the people in the Xia family miscalculated a little, because of these concerns. Xia Linxuan would not be polite to them now, otherwise he would not leave all the troubles and "concerns" to his children? He is a dying person, so why are he afraid of reputation, scruples, etc.? He wants to take all the "nots" on himself and resolve his relationship with these people before he dies.

Old Mrs. Xia's face was full of tears and asked the guards "honestly": "You let me go in and see my second brother, please, I am his legitimate mother. I love him the most since I was a child!"

The onlookers were almost moved, but they were all legitimate mothers. They ran to the mountain to visit at the age of a person. The viewers felt distressed and the smellers were sad!

After all, the Xia House is not covered with layers of walls, but the guards block the people, and the sounds still came in.

Shuwen was so angry that he was about to stand up and rush out, but was pulled by Xia Linxuan: "With your father here, why are you impatient? Thanks to your elder brother, you said that you are much more steady and have such an irritable temperament."

Xia Linxuan had just used the medicine and drank a cup of ginseng tea made by Shu Yao. He was in a good mood: "Please carry me out, don't want them to disturb your mother's tranquility here."

Xia Ruoxue was secretly amazed at her mother's acting skills. She looked at the mocking eyes around her, and quickly added some sympathy to her: "A few brothers, please, I heard that my second brother is seriously ill and my mother can't eat and sleep in the past two days. Although my second brother is not my mother's biological child, he grew up in front of her. She has always regarded her as her own child."

"Treat it as your own child? Isn't it my biological child? Didn't it be replaced by my aunt? Xia Ruoxue, in order to prove that we are brothers and sisters of the same father and mother, you have done so many things and have been retired by Duke An of the Mansion. Why, have you given up now?"

Xia Ruoxue, who was about to wipe her eyes with a veil to create a "tear like rain" effect, was shocked by the cold tone of this cold voice.

People around him were confused: Is Captain Xia a concubine's son? What is "her biological"? What is "changing bad things"?

Of course, more people's attention was on the sentence "being relieved" and suddenly realized: "No wonder, why are you virtuous and generous? You asked yourself to leave the court? It turned out that you were suspended after doing something bad."

Xia Ruoxue returned to Yulin. The reason why the people in the town heard was that the second master of Duke Anguo Mansion saved a famous lady, but it damaged the other party's reputation. Xia Ruoxue asked to leave the court and leave the country. Although some people suspected, most people still kindly held sympathy.

At this moment, the fig leaf was torn off with cruelty, and Xia Ruoxue poured blood upwards and was forced down.

Before and after she got married, she had never had any interaction with Xia Linxuan, and she had hardly spoken. However, the gangster in the image was shy and unwilling to say that she was so hurtful! She couldn't see anyone in the capital, so she hid in Yulin, is it the same?

Old Mrs. Xia and Xia Linyu were also stunned. Since the birth of Shu Jie, Xia Linxuan was furious. After the separation, his attitude towards them has always been cold, but he is still polite and has many scruples in his words and actions. Moreover, Xia Linxuan has never spoken sharply. Today this is...

Mrs. Xia, who felt sorry for her daughter, didn't care about pretending to be kind and sad at this time, and roared angrily: "What are you talking about? A Xue is a kind person, why are you divorced? A Xue is your sister, why are you so vicious? You..."

Before he finished speaking, he found that the people around him were rushing to see something? Then he exclaimed one after another:

"So that's the case... Why is this family so embarrassed to come? I just thought this old lady was pitiful."

"It's so vicious. Seeing that the three brothers and sisters have a better life, in order to gain benefits, you can think of such a vicious method, and you are not afraid of retribution!"

"No wonder I was relieved! Tsk tsk, I'm so embarrassed to say that I'm asking for my own leave! It's so shameless!"

...

Shangjing, two servants were sending out a few pieces of paper in their hands. After reading it, the person who got it passed it to others. The illiterate person urgently asked about the content on the paper...

The clan leader and several clan elders who had just arrived also snatched one and looked at it. After reading it, they were so angry that their faces were blushed: It’s a sin, the Xia family is really a sin! Is this going to destroy the reputation of their Xia family?

A tribe member suddenly called out: "Expel them from the tribe. There are such vicious people in our Xia family. Who dares to marry our Xia family in the future?"

"That's right," someone next to him immediately agreed, "My brother's family was in trouble, he ignored him, and even asked for the yard, but he was struck by lightning. The three children finally started a small business and immediately went to the door to frame others for stealing secret recipes. Seeing that they had a promising future, they wanted to hide the truth and use the so-called relatives and elders to occupy their things. How could there be such a shameless family in this world? Being a clan member with such a person is not looked down upon?"

With a thunder, all the old things were blown out. The man who had been a little pitiful, Mrs. Xia, the legitimate mother, had no "sympathy" at this moment and all joined the accusation and accusation team.

Especially the people of the Xia family, fearing that their children's marriages would be dragged down, and the calls for "drive out the Xia family from the clan" are getting higher and higher.

The Xia Mansion was stunned and stood there on the spot.

Shu Yao and his brother were secretly happy behind Xia Linxuan. Uncle Rong and Aunt Dong and others took several copies of their confessions on the street, and Shu Yao put them in the mahogany box. She didn't want to do anything at that time, but just put them in. Anyway, a stack of paper would not take up any place, so she didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Of course, the words their siblings gave to their father and adopted father were Shuwen casually stuffed into the pile of books at that time. Two days ago, the people of Xia’s mansion came to the house every day, and Shuwen happened to find out in the book he brought back to Yulin, so he brought it to the mountain to prevent the people of Xia’s mansion from coming to make trouble again.

Xia Linxuan said coldly: "Whether they want to leave the clan is decided by the clan leader and clan elders, but I, Xia Linxuan, hereby publicly declare that our branch will have no relationship with them from now on and will be regarded as strangers. My children must keep this in mind, otherwise it will be like severing relations with me, the father." (To be continued.
