Tianliangyuan

Chapter 184 This is practically courting death!

Xu Wen couldn't figure out what kind of conspiracy was involved.

He knew the origin of this land, his brother's unresolved issues, and that Prince Qing had not returned to the capital for many years. Besides being forbidden from returning without an imperial edict, it was also because Prince Qing himself was unwilling to come to the capital.

"Brother, I'm afraid Sun Huaizhi has been used by someone."

What Xu Wen could see through at a glance, Xu Han could naturally understand as well.

The two brothers looked at each other and then sighed simultaneously.

Unfortunately, Sun Huaizhi was Xu Lin's most beloved eldest son and was also favored by the old lady. Even though the two brothers disliked Sun Huaizhi's dullness, they had to be lenient with him out of consideration for their family ties.

Upon closer reflection, both of them found it absurd.

As relatives, we should consider each other's feelings more.

However, since her marriage, Xu Lin has never thought about doing anything for the Marquis's mansion. She only thinks about how to get benefits from the Marquis's mansion and then give them to the Sun family.

Over the years, if it were just some money and valuables, Xu Han wouldn't bother to argue with her, after all, she was his own sister.

But if they are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and have thoughts they shouldn't have, even if the old lady cries to death, the two brothers cannot let the villains cause trouble!

"Humans are just insatiable!"

After Xu Han finished speaking, he sighed helplessly again and shook his head slightly: "Second brother, your position in the Ministry of War is not yet secure, so you should be more careful. In order to avoid suspicion and to avoid making things difficult for the Emperor, I have tried to take on as few positions as possible over the years. If there are any jobs that require fighting outside, I will fight tooth and nail to get them."

"Over the years, you've endured much hardship in your post. My brother and I wouldn't dare say we've brought glory to the Xu family, but at least we haven't disgraced our ancestors. If Sun Huaizhi is foolish enough to continue his reckless actions, Xu Lin's influence won't work with me."

Xu Wen said with a serious expression, "I understand what you mean, brother. Our Xu family originally did not have many sons. Before Father passed away, he instructed us to support each other. There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, but you must not mistreat illegitimate children, and you must not think of using marriage to wrong the daughters of the Xu family."

Over the years, Xu Lin's outrageous behavior has been something I've often heard about, even when I'm away. I know all the foolish things Sun Qian and Xu Lin did last year. It's only because my elder brother and sister-in-law are so magnanimous that they haven't held it against her. Now that I'm back, if Mother has any further complaints, I will naturally step forward to share the burden.

Now that Mother is ill, it's all because of Xu Lin. Brother, if it's as I say, we should refuse all the Sun family members later, and as for Xu Lin, we shouldn't let her come to our door again. At least, until Mother recovers, we mustn't let her cause any more trouble.”

After a moment of silence, Xu Han nodded: "I will instruct Uncle Zhong to handle this matter. As for Xu Lin, I will have someone warn Sun Qingyang."

Sometimes, just because you can't do anything about a woman doesn't mean you can't do anything about her man.

Once a woman can control her man, even the most formidable woman will behave herself.

Sun Qingyang's rank was not high to begin with, and he was even punished last year.

This year, things finally started to look up, but as soon as he went to the government office, he was reprimanded by his superiors. When he returned to his room to work, he was ostracized by his colleagues. After a few days, Sun Qingyang couldn't take it anymore.

As a middle-aged man, Sun Qingyang was repeatedly scolded and reprimanded like a child by his superiors. No amount of self-consolation could help him.

It was a colleague who couldn't stand it anymore and quietly reminded him.

"I heard that your wife made Old Madam Xu sick with anger. Now the Marquis's mansion has issued an order forbidding the Sun family from visiting again, and even forbidding the young lady from visiting. Is Lord Sun unaware of this matter?"

Sun Qingyang's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale.

I never imagined that this matter would be related to my wife.

"How could that be? Before I left yesterday, my wife said she was going to visit her mother at the Marquis's residence. How could she not be able to get through the gates of the Marquis's residence?"

A colleague said with sympathy, "This news has been circulating in the capital for three days now. Moreover, someone witnessed the Xu family's young lady being turned away, and the gatekeeper was not afraid of her crying and making a scene at all. He even publicly reprimanded her for making the old lady sick. Now that the old lady is recuperating, the Sun family is absolutely not allowed to come to the door again."

Sun Qingyang assumed that his wife had offended his two brothers-in-law again and did not think much of it.

However, this colleague, unusually kind, offered some advice: "Brother Sun, don't think I'm not open with you. There are some things I shouldn't say. The younger generation of the Xu family have just begun to make their mark in the court and are currently enjoying the Emperor's favor. If something were to happen to the Old Madam, the whole family would have to observe mourning. Your wife is not only being unfilial, but she is also trying to ruin the future of all the men in her family!"

boom!

Suddenly, Sun Qingyang felt a fire ignite in his head.

To ruin someone's future is like killing their parents. If this is true, then Xu Lin has really offended the Xu family this time.

From top to bottom, everyone would probably want to curse Xu Lin.

"Thank you for informing me, my brother. I was truly unaware of this matter. I will return immediately and give that woman a good talking-to; her words and actions were indeed inappropriate."

"It's enough that Brother Sun understands the implications. Besides, I've heard that your son is still eyeing that vacant lot in Pingkang Ward. Hehe, Brother Sun, my nephew is young and doesn't know the gravity of the matter. Has Brother Sun forgotten what happened back then?"

After being reminded, Sun Qingyang naturally remembered a muddled account from more than ten years ago!

So, both mother and son were working hard to offend the Xu family, while he himself was completely oblivious. He was incredibly stupid!

Sun Qingyang was furious; this mother and daughter were really courting death!

After returning home, Sun Qingyang immediately ordered someone to summon Sun Huaizhi to his study. Within moments, Sun Huaizhi was beaten and howled in pain.

By the time Xu Lin heard the news and rushed over, Sun Huaizhi had already been beaten more than twenty times, and even his crying had changed.

"Stop! Sun Qingyang, what do you want to do? Are you planning to kill my Huaizhi so you can make room for your illegitimate sons?"

Sun Qingyang trembled with rage: "Stupid woman! You, you are all utterly ignorant! Do you know what despicable things this beast has done? And you, you and your son, are you trying to force me to my death before you're at ease?"

Xu Lin was crying when she heard this and immediately retorted, "Stop talking nonsense! You're the one who beat Huai Zhi so badly, and now you're saying that my son and I forced you! I think you just can't tolerate my son and me."

Sun Qingyang was furious. When he thought about what his colleague had said earlier, he felt even more that he had married a stupid woman and had given birth to a stupid son. He couldn't catch his breath and fainted.

Xu Lin was terrified.

Although she argued with Sun Qingyang, she was still on his side deep down.

Seeing him collapse now, I realize how serious the situation is.

"Someone, quickly go find a doctor! Master, you can't be hurt!"
