Chapter 8, Decision

I swiftly brushed past the servant who had already begun working in my home and entered my former residence—Xingfeng Pavilion

Mother, no, you must believe in my abilities, Mom

Aunt, your health

"Mom, please don't say that. How could I possibly use your private savings? Besides, having 100,000 taels is already more than enough. You don't need to worry about it," I said, looking at my mother with a forced smile.

I had not really noticed that Uncle Wang is almost twenty-five years old this year, and Chunyu is also twenty-two. Seeing them together, they truly make a perfect match. As soon as I leave home and settle down, the first thing I will do is arrange their marriage.

Second brother, all we need to do is take good care of my mother on the road. Besides, my mother used to be in good health when she was in the mountains, and with so many people on the road, what is there to worry about?

"Mistress, mistress, am I not dreaming?" The mother stood by the table, seemingly still in shock.

"Hey, how long are you two going to be affectionate? I've been standing at the door for so long, and not a single person has come over to greet me," I said to them with a stern face.

"Chunyu, Wang Ge, and Lang Feng, you should go ahead and organize your things. I will wait for you. Bring some important items, and we can buy the rest later," I immediately reminded them

"Who is it, is she the mistress?" My mother's voice rang out anxiously. I could no longer endure it; I pushed open the door and looked at my weary mother

"Third Young Master, it's nothing. I know my own body. I've been feeling much better these days, and even going out with you all isn't a hardship. It's certainly better than chopping wood on the mountain, right? So you needn't worry about me." The old lady appeared very happy, showcasing her healthy side.

I smiled slightly, turned my head, and walked directly towards Xing m.hetushu .com .com Peak Pavilion. I did not look back until I had exited my mother's courtyard and reached a place where my mother could no longer see me. Only then did I glance back; the tears had not yet fallen, as I had effortlessly evaporated them with my true essence.

The elder brother calmed down; he also knew that his mother was in poor health and needed to rest and recuperate. However, to ask him to leave me just because of this would likely be difficult for him to accept

"Second brother, it's really you! You've come back, you truly have returned! This makes me so happy. My mother has always been thinking of you." The elder brother, Wolf Feng, ran over from the small wooden bridge in the west wing, and as soon as he saw me, he immediately shouted excitedly.

I am like a wisp of wind, blowing past the Zhang family's gate. I stand quietly in front of my mother's chamber door. At this moment, the night is deep, and the entire household is enveloped in silence. My mother's soft sobs are distinctly audible, and my heart suddenly aches intensely, surging from my innermost being to my entire body. I cannot control myself; tears have already streamed down my face, falling to the ground, the sound of the clear drops "pah". Is my hearing too acute? I do not know

Upon seeing my sworn brother, I felt a surge of excitement. Although we have known each other for less than two days, we have already been apart for seven days. Yet, I deeply feel the bond of brotherhood that transcends life and death.

This is the same principle; the second and third sons who have not become elders in each generation must leave home to start their own ventures. Of course, they each have a startup fund of two hundred thousand taels of silver, which means you are essentially leaving home early, just with your name removed from the family tree. Furthermore, you only have your red envelope money from the past five years, which is about one hundred thousand taels of silver. Mother still has several hundred thousand taels, so take that with you and live well. At this moment, Mother began to cry again. In fact, just the thought of having to part with Mother in the future makes me feel very sad.

It is father

"Go on, my dear, I know you have always been different since childhood, and you are very understanding. Your mother believes in you. Go and walk your own path; your mother will always support you." My mother said to me with a smile. Although she concealed it well, my remarkable eyesight still allowed me to see the tears she was desperately trying to hold back.

"Xiao San, do not be so stubborn; you must listen to your mother. Bring the money with you"

The court session must commence with the presence of the punished individual, as stipulated by the family law of the noble house. Even if the punished person does not appear, the session can only begin after a week. Tomorrow marks the seventh day, and you have just returned. Even if you had not come back, the court session would still be held. Do not worry about your brother-in-law Lang Feng and his mother; your aunt and second aunt intend to drive them away. Fortunately, your father intervened in this matter; he still cares for you. He acts for the benefit of the noble house, so do not harbor resentment towards him. He is also a victim of circumstances. You are aware that the elders' council was involved at that time, and the outcome could not be changed.

I rushed in front of my mother, tightly embracing her. She held me closely in her arms, and I could clearly hear her heartbeat, "thump, thump," beating rapidly. I lost track of time, and after a while, my mother slowly released me, continuously gazing at me, "Xiao San, Xiao San," gently caressing my face and repeatedly saying my name.

"What are you saying? We brothers have agreed to live and die together. Are you looking down on me like this? Do I look like someone who abandons his brothers at the first sign of trouble?" Wolf https://m.hetushucomcom Brother Feng immediately began to shout loudly at me.

I know he acted for the family's benefit, but he should at least have considered me first. Even if the outcome was still me being driven out of the house, I would not harbor resentment towards him at that time. However, he never spoke a word for me from beginning to end. Do you know how heartless he was to me in the end? Ah! To expect me to forgive him, humph! Every time I think of the way he said "yes" as he was leaving, I cannot help but be filled with rage, unable to contain myself

Lin, I am truly worried about the young master. He has never lived alone since childhood, and now he is facing difficulties, having been out on his own for a week. How can you expect me to go back home and sleep? The young master has grown up under our care, and you know he is very strong-willed. I really don't know how he is managing out there on his own.

"Ayu, you should go back inside and rest for a while. I will wait here for the young master," Uncle Wang draped his coat over Chunyu's shoulders

Looking at their faces turning increasingly red, I truly could not bring myself to laugh anymore. Taking a deep breath, I prepared to continue laughing

Haha, I can only see my mother after you two have been affectionate, don't let my mother worry herself to death, haha. Hey, why is your face turning red, even redder now? Uncle Wang, why is your face also red? What should I call you from now on? Let's stick with Brother Wang, what do you think! Ah, hahaha. I actually discovered that the rarely expressive Uncle Wang is also smiling, no, it's Brother Wang, Brother Wang is smiling, this is a rare sight, I can't stop laughing. Ah, hahaha. I actually discovered that the rarely expressive Uncle Wang is also smiling, no, it's Brother Wang, Brother Wang is smiling, this is a rare sight, I can't stop laughing.

"Young Master, it is indeed you, Young Master! You have returned, how wonderful, truly wonderful! The Madam will surely be very pleased." Chunyu exclaimed excitedly.

Mother, I will not participate in this meeting; I am going to call Wolf Peak and the others to leave together. Mother, I am leaving. I stood at the door, looking at my mother, not knowing how long it would be before I could see her again

Oh, I understand now. But why did my father drive me out of the house because of this? I asked my mother

mistress

I looked at the elderly woman and was reminded of my own mother, feeling a surge of emotion in my heart. I will definitely take good care of her

"No, you must bring money with you. Your mother is at home, and all expenses for food, drink, and purchases are covered by the household, so there is no need for you to spend even a single tael of silver. You need not worry about it, understood?" Mother immediately began to try to persuade me again

I had no choice but to take my mother's one hundred thousand taels in silver notes. Sigh, I know my mother is doing this for my future, so that I can live a better life after leaving home. The hearts of parents are truly pitiable. Mother, I will definitely honor you well in the future. I looked at her, and she smiled at me, her gaze unwavering as if she wanted to deeply engrave my image in her heart. The sky was about to brighten, and I forced a bitter smile, knowing I had to leave. I looked at her again; she smiled at me, her gaze unwavering as if she wanted to deeply engrave my image in her heart. The sky was about to brighten, and I forced a bitter smile, knowing I had to leave.

Is there some secret? I looked at my mother, and I truly found it difficult to connect these two matters together

Mother, please stop talking, let's not discuss those matters anymore. Let's have a good conversation; there won't be many opportunities in the future, but I will come back to see you often.

This is not a secret; it is well known and mutually acknowledged by the four great families. That is: for the sake of the family's legacy, each generation can only pass it on to the eldest son of the next generation. Only when the eldest son dies can it be passed to the second son. The eldest son's guards are all third-rank experts, along with a second-rank head guard. Moreover, if it is discovered that the eldest son's death was instigated by the second son, the second son will be expelled from the family without a single tael of silver. When the eldest son ascends, the second son and the third son will have one selected as an elder by the He-Tu-Shu Elder Council based on their performance. Your second brother is indeed born of your aunt, and your second aunt and your aunt were very close when they were young. Since she has not given birth to a son, she naturally supports the second son, who is your second brother. Now you understand why your aunt and your second aunt have treated you this way, right?" My mother revealed all this to me.

As I watched them return to their rooms, I also entered my own. That round table, at which I almost every night sat beside to read, held a wooden box containing the dark iron clothing I wore in my childhood. Suddenly, I felt a jolt throughout my body, as my spiritual awareness distinctly sensed a gaze upon me. I could clearly feel from my heart the deep longing, concern, and also that sense of apology.

Elder brother, I plan to leave this mansion immediately. Will you and your mother come with me, or will you go to the countryside to live a stable life? I truly wish to venture into the world with Elder Brother Wolf Feng, but your mother's illness requires constant care and attention

"Xiao San, do you know why your father drove you out of the house because of this matter? And do you remember when you asked me why your aunt and your second aunt harbor such hostility towards you?" my mother said, looking at me

Elder brother, please do not be agitated. Come with me; what will happen to our mother? Should we really make her suffer alongside us in this turmoil? Can you bear to see her endure such hardship?

The young master, the spring rain is being playful, ha

At this moment, Chunyu is sitting in front of the door of my former room, murmuring, "Young Master, why haven't you returned yet"

Mother, has the discussion in the courtyard concluded? How are my elder brother Langfeng and his mother doing? I calmed my emotions and asked my mother

"Feng'er, you and the Third Young Master will go together, and Mother will accompany you as well," said Wolfeng's mother firmly as she stood on the small wooden bridge.

Mother, Mother
