Just the afternoon before the ten people who were going to attend the palace to listen to the training, Xu Hui suddenly rushed to Taohua Villa, with a deep face, "Your mother... she is so sick, she... wants to see you!"

After only two days of not seeing Li, he was terminally ill. Although Li was not very healthy, he would not be so unbearable to withstand the blow, right? Xu Shu was surprised, but with no doubt about her trust in Xu Hui, she followed Xu Hui back to the place where she thought she would never go back in her life.

Xu Hui remained silent along the way. Xu Shu thought that Xu Hui was caught off guard by Li's sudden illness, and even comforted him a few words. Xu Hui just nodded constantly, his expression was very complicated.

When he returned to the Xu family, Xu Shu realized that things did not seem to be what Xu Hui said. There was no atmosphere in the mansion that was about to die. He was getting closer and closer to Chunhui Courtyard, and he didn't smell any scent of medicine. Xu Shu's heart gradually sank.

The door of Chunhuiyuan was locked. Old Master Xu and his wife sat on the chairs temporarily moved in at the door with a depressed look on their faces. The table was full of tea and water. It was seen that Old Master Xu and his wife waited for a while. Seeing Xu Hui bringing Xu Shu back, the anxious expressions on the faces of Old Master Xu and his wife relaxed. Wang gently brushed his hand, and the servant immediately retreated silently.

Xu Hui stopped and did not dare to look back at Xu Shu, so he sat down until Old Master Xu drooped his head.

"Please greet my grandfather and grandmother!" Xu Shu bent her knees and bowed. Listening to the footsteps of the servants leaving, Xu Shu had a clear mind.

"Get up! Sit!" Old Master Xu pointed to the empty seat under Wang and signaled that Wanfeng would support Xu Shu to sit over.

After sitting down, Xu Shu said to Wan Feng, "Go to the second aunt's place to see. The second aunt said last time she wanted to make me a new dress. I don't know if it's done. If it's done, take it to the carriage and wait for me!"

Wan Feng nodded and glared at Xu Hui with hatred. His apricot eyes could turn into a knife and poke Xu Hui into a sieve, but in the end he could only leave unwillingly.

Xu Shu sat upright, half-hung her head, twisting the silk palm in her hand, and asked Xu Hui casually, "Didn't my father say that my mother is seriously ill? Then why are we sitting at the door and not going in to take a look?"

Xu Hui was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head, and he couldn't answer Xu Shu's question.

Wang coughed and relieved his son, "Your mother is not sick, don't blame your father. I taught your father to say this. If he didn't say this, you wouldn't come back, right?"

"Yes! As long as my father wants me to come back, I will come back!" Xu Shu looked at Xu Hui opposite him, but unfortunately Xu Hui never had the courage to look up and face Xu Shu.

Wang's joke, "Since you are all back, it doesn't make sense to say these!"

"It makes sense!" Xu Shu retorted, "What I didn't expect was that even my father started lying to me. It turns out that you are no different from others, my father!"

Huge regrets came overwhelmingly, and Xu Hui couldn't breathe. He looked up in panic, but only saw Xu Shu's cold expression. His gray and blue eyes turned red at some point, but there was no tears in his eyes.

"Okay, let's talk about the serious matter first!" Old Master Xu signaled Wang to continue.

Wang said, "Your mother took your sixth sister and your seventh brother in the yard and drove all the servants out. It also means that if someone did not allow others to enter the palace on behalf of your sixth sister, she would burn the yard with the three of them together!"

"So my father thought of me, right?"

Xu Shu's tone was very plain, neither sad nor happy, but it fell into Xu Hui's ears, which made the guilt in his heart deeper. It was him who let down Xu Shu's trust in him, and their father-daughter relationship was about to come to an end today.

"It's not your father's business. He originally wanted Sister Yuan to go, and even proposed to give up inheriting the Xu family business in exchange. However, your third uncle didn't want to, so he secretly took Sister Yuan out of the house. They couldn't find them everywhere. We really had no choice but to think of you!"

"Uncle San is such a good father!" Xu Shu smiled sarcastically. Xu Yang's fatherly love has never had anything to do with Xu Ru, just like Li's whole heart is leaning on Xu Hua and Xu Ting. It turns out that bias is indeed a problem that everyone has, and even her beloved father is no exception...

"You also know that the Xu family now has only four legitimate daughters. Sister Feng is too young, so you are the only one left!" Wang's implication was that the Xu family now plans to let Xu Shu enter the palace as a marriage tomorrow.

"So what?" Xu Shu "stared" at Wang Shi in a daze.

Wang was suddenly under pressure from Xu Shu's eyes, so he didn't dare to look at Xu Shu. He turned his head in a mess and asked Mr. Xu for help.

Old Master Xu was stunned for a while, and finally sighed, "Tomorrow, I can only feel wronged!"

Xu Shu did not respond, and Old Master Xu said with guilt, "We don't want this. Originally, we all thought it was Sister Yuan's, but your mother..." When talking about Li, Old Master Xu showed dissatisfaction, "If your mother hadn't threatened your seventh brother's life, we wouldn't have made such a bad move. If you blame your mother, just blame him!"

"Oh……"

Old Master Xu is beautiful and natural in his fault. However, the quality of the matter has nothing to do with him.

"But what if I don't want to suffer this grievance?"

Xu Shu's implication is that she is unwilling to enter the palace tomorrow.

Old Master Xu was stunned. He never thought that Xu Shu would refute his decision. After being stunned, he couldn't help but look angry. It was anger after the authority was challenged, and his speech was full of oppression and deterrence.

"Sister Shu, you have always been sensible. This critical moment is not a time to act irritating. You should also think more about your brother. Don't implicate him because of you. Your second aunt treats you well. Don't let her be heartbroken! The Xu family has always treated you preferentially and has never treated you badly. Now when you need to contribute to your family, how can you be so ignorant of the general idea!"

"What do you mean not to implicate your elder brother because of me? Grandfather, I just want to ask if this order to send a marriage has something to do with me?"

Xu Shu asked repeatedly, but Old Master Xu could not answer because after all, this matter had nothing to do with Xu Shu.

"It seems you know that it has nothing to do with me, so even if my elder brother is implicated, it is not because of me. I won't feel a little guilty!"

The person who really deserves to feel guilty hides behind the locked door and reaps profits. Why should she make sacrifices for innocent people?

Old Master Xu couldn't suppress his anger anymore and glared at Xu Shu and said, "Are you going to watch the entire Xu family being convicted for resisting the order?"

"Does I deserve to be sacrificed by you just because I am sensible and sensible?" Xu Shu asked without fear.
