144, despair

"What? Three days later?" Xu Hui and Li said in surprise in unison.

"Yes! Three days later, Mrs. Xu had just promised it in person, and the letter of appointment was clearly written. Why? Are you going to regret it so soon?" Zhou raised the letter of appointment in his hand proudly, and the dazzling red thorn Xu Hui's rationality was gradually losing.

Li hurriedly opened the appointment letter in Xu Hui's hand and looked at it. After a closer look, he found that the appointment letter was folded up, and there was a letter of invitation to offer a ceremony in the middle. However, Xu Hui, who was angry, did not check it carefully, and then he found the Song family's words again.

Xu Hui was so angry that he grabbed the letter of appointment and kneaded it into a ball and smashed it hard at Zhou's feet. Zhou kicked the piece of paper under his feet, feeling unprecedentedly happy. He had to forget that the Song family was about to be imprisoned and said briskly, "Although time is a little tight, our Song family does not value dowry, it doesn't matter. As long as the couple's life after marriage is harmonious and beautiful!"

Xu Hui's hand, which was clenched into a fist, pounding hard on the table, and the gap on the table made a crisp collision sound. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou's goal had been achieved, he pulled the matchmaker and ran away, "Then let's say goodbye first!"

"Master, what should I do?" As soon as Zhou left, Li couldn't help crying anymore. "Three days later... the Song family is going to take Sister Feng to follow them to die!"

Xu Hui looked at his wife who was crying with red eyes, and his resentment towards Li also dissipated. It is not easy for a young couple to get to this point!

"I'll go and discuss with my father to see if there is any place to do it, and try to save the Song family from the devastation!"

Li thought of Gao and hurriedly wiped his tears, "My sister-in-law also said yesterday that she would go back to discuss with her father and elder brother. I will go to Li to ask later!"

"It would be better if my father-in-law is willing to help!" Xu Hui breathed a sigh of relief. His father-in-law was of high power and spoke very well in front of the emperor. The Song family held the Xu family tightly, afraid that he wanted to borrow the Li family's connections.

The couple discussed the division of labor and immediately took action, but Xu Hui hit a wall with Xu Guan. Even though he knelt down and begged, Xu Guan did not let go.

"Father! Why? Sister Feng is your granddaughter. You can't watch her die!"

Xu Guan was unmoved, "I can't watch the entire Xu family die! I am the head of the Xu family. What I have to consider is the interests of the entire Xu family. I cannot ignore the safety of the Xu family for a certain person!"

"But Sister Feng is still so young, and her life has just begun..." Xu Hui cried bitterly.

Xu Guan also had his eyes slightly red, but he still said with his neck in his arms, "For the sake of the family, I can only sacrifice her. If you want to blame me, you can only blame you for having to make a new marriage letter with the Song family, otherwise you would not have been obedient to the Song family!"

"My son is wrong! My son wants to drag them to the Song family for the wedding period and be questioned. The marriage is over!" Xu Hui's regretful intestines turned blue.

"How smart the Song family is? How could you not know your little bit of beauty? Your wife is smarter than you on these roads!" Xu Guan couldn't help but educate Xu Hui.

When Li proposed to write down Xu Sheng's name, Xu Hui knew Li's plan. He wanted to keep Xu Ting's marriage to compete for the family. He was so angry that Li did not forget to remember Xu Shu's marriage, so he did not show Li's appointment letter. At this moment, he was taught a lesson by his father. Xu Hui felt even more guilty, "My son knew that he had done something wrong, and he did something wrong from the beginning. The son shouldn't have been engaged to the Song family, otherwise there would be no current situation!"

"Forget it! It's useless to say this now! Let's comfort Sister Feng!" Xu Guan waved his hand, unable to bear to look at the heartbroken eldest son anymore.

"Is there really no way?"

Xu Guan nodded affirmatively, "When the Song family first got into trouble, I also inquired about some related news. I heard that it was an empty salary. There were also some shameful activities with his then-bossed governor Chao, who had been in office more than ten years ago. However, Chao was already dead. Once the crime that he would rather die than confess was found, the outcome would be even more terrible than death. The Song family had to bear the unfinished punishment of the Chao family. The result is conceivable! Judging from the emperor's current behavior, he did not intend to let go of any official in the case. One was found to deal with the other. Cao's family, the beheaded, and four of the whole family were executed. Do you think the Song family can escape?"

Xu Hui lowered his head decadently and stood up with difficulty. Fortunately, there was still the Li family. As long as the Li family was willing to help, there was still room for relocation.

However, the news brought back by Li shattered Xu Hui's last hope.

"My father said that the Jiannan Road corruption case should not get involved. Your Majesty wants to take this opportunity to eradicate the power of the vassal kings. Therefore, we should deal with the officials who committed the crime so seriously. Let our Majesty not anger your Majesty at this critical moment, so as not to cause any death!"

Mr. Li's words were not alarmist. He had a weak descendant. He had only one eldest prince under his knees, but he was still a playboy. So the vassal kings began to get ready. The restless vassal king was really a traitor. Taking advantage of the corruption case of Jiannandao, the vassal kings also had reason to openly investigate and punish officials from all over the country and take the opportunity to arrange officials he relied on to be in the vassal king territory. At this time, if someone came forward to plead for the officials who committed the crime, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be included in the vassal kings' accomplices.

"What did Sister Feng say about her grandfather?" Li asked with exhaustion.

Xu Hui shook his head in despair, "My father also said that the Song family's affairs are very dangerous, and the Xu family wants to protect themselves!"

"What should I do?" Li covered his face in despair and cried in tears.

Xu Hui remained silent, immersed in deep guilt and could not extricate himself.

"Sister Shu! Look for Sister Shu!" Li suddenly had a bright eye, "Let her go and ask the Empress Dowager to protect Sister Feng. The matter of the Song family has nothing to do with Sister Feng, Sister Feng is innocent!"

Xu Hui waved his hand powerlessly, "I have already taken Sister Feng in, so let Sister Shu go! She has just entered the palace for Sister Ting's affairs. How can I have such a big face in front of the Empress Dowager?"

Li stopped talking, but she didn't give up and thought that she would still talk to Xu Shu in private. Sister Feng is her own sister. She can't watch her own sister die but don't care, right?

"I thought of an idea!" Xu Hui said suddenly.

"What's the idea?"

"The Song family has never seen Sister Feng before. They may not have seen Sister Feng clearly in the garden that day. We can send Sister Feng to the village to live. Three days later, a maid will be used to marry Sister Feng. When the Song family matters are settled, they will take Sister Feng back in the name of her adopted daughter. In this way, they will not have to worry about the Song family!"

This was an idea, but Li couldn't help but shake his head, "Can you really hide it from the Song family? The Song family is so smart, not to mention that Song Wencai has been alone with Sister Feng. He knows what Sister Feng looks like!"
