Chapter three hundred and ninety sixth responsibility
Xu Jie stood up, picked up the wine glass, his eyes were still red, and he looked at everyone on the table and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I disappointed my brothers!"
Huangfu Chongzhi shook his head slightly and whispered: "We are all brothers since childhood. You don't need to say such words. No one has blamed you."
The little fat man said from the side: "Why no one blames me? I'm very dissatisfied with my second brother!"
Xu Luo glared at the little fat man, who looked stubborn and said loudly: "Third brother, you can glar at me, I want to say it! I won't be happy if I don't vomit!"
Huangfu Chongzhi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xu Jie. The eldest brother: "Since everyone has been brothers since childhood, there is nothing that cannot be said. Let him say it."
Huangfu Chongzhi sighed lightly, shook his head, and said nothing more.
The little fat man snorted and said, "Second brother, you escaped from marriage and left. You are not blamed for being a brother. After all, no one can replace it. If someone wants to take Lan Xin away from me, I can do anything! But you shouldn't even know the brothers!"
"Yes, the third brother judged that you were leaving from your actions, but this is completely different from telling you to your brothers in person!"
"This is the first thing I'm angry with you!"
"Second, Liu Ruyu is a good girl. She married into your family under the great pressure and ridicule of the entire imperial capital, and became a nameless daughter-in-law of the Xu family. But for a long time, she has taken care of her aunt far more than those of us! It can be said that she has fulfilled her obligations as a daughter-in-law!"
"The royal family suffered a disaster. The eldest brother and the third brother were not at home. Uncle Xu and Uncle Sui were killed in the palace. The entire emperor was in chaos. The families on our side were all the targets of the other party's murder! At the critical moment, she stood up and turned the tide and saved your whole family!"
"After the incident, the third brother returned and the eldest brother ascended the throne. Although she rewarded her, she was extremely low-key and had almost never even been released from the Xu Mansion. Do you know... why is this?"
Xu Jie lowered his head and remained silent.
The little fat man sneered: "I just fear that I will affect the reputation of the Xu family!"
"You are very casual here. When you have a bitter scene, you chased to the Mobei grassland and chased the second sister-in-law. You two stayed together and flew together. The second sister-in-law also gained the reputation of a Hongmao. Tsk tsk... It's really majestic. People on the Mobei grassland are afraid of you, right? But at that time, have you ever thought about what happened at home?"
"You heard that something happened to the imperial capital was so yes, so you rushed back as soon as possible, but what did you do after you came back? You knelt directly at the door of your house to apologize. It looked very sincere, right? But do you know that it was your actions that forced Miss Liu away!"
When the little fat man said that he was moving, he slapped the table with his hand and glared at Xu Jie: "I am still thinking about you before leaving, leaving a letter to your aunt and her father, but the purpose is to excuse you... Second brother, second brother, you are sitting here drinking with us now. Haven't you ever thought about what kind of mood Miss Liu's parents will feel now?"
"Did you... never think about paying for the two elders of the Liu family?"
When the little fat man said this, the other four people in the room were silent.
Xu Luo sighed softly. Xu Jie seemed to be doing this, but in fact, as the little fat man said, he did not do well enough in some aspects.
The entire Xu family can be said to have indeed owe the Liu family a huge favor.
Huangfu Chongzhi sighed slightly, looking at the little fat man with a little admiration. Among the five brothers, the little fat man seemed to be the most inconspicuous one, but in terms of human relationships and worldly styles, the little fat man is the best.
Sui Yan glanced at the fat man and said softly: "It's reasonable."
The little fat man glanced at Sui Yan and suddenly laughed: "Fifth Lao, you finally recognized your fourth brother once. It's not easy!"
Xu Jie's eyes were slightly red, he picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it all, and then placed the wine glass heavily on the table, staring at the fat man with his eyes.
The little fat man shrank his neck and said, "Second brother... you are angry and want to hit me, right?"
Xu Jie shook his head and gave a deep salute to the fat man.
The fat man was so scared that he hurriedly hid at Xu Luo on the side and exclaimed: "Third brother, are you crazy?"
Xu Jie stood up and said seriously: "Fourth brother, thank you! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd been so confused... That's right, I've been escaping for a long time and dare not face it. I have lost the responsibility a man should have. You are much better than your second brother!"
"You guys drink first, I'll go to the Liu family to apologize now!" After Xu Jie said that, he stepped out of the room.
The four of these brothers were left, and they looked at me, and they were all speechless.
After a long time, Huangfu Chongzhi said, "It's good to do this, otherwise it will always be a knot."
Xu Luo nodded: "Actually, I can see that although the second brother is back, he is not happy. Even if the fourth brother doesn't remind him, he will feel guilty about the Liu family."
The little fat man said, "I was so uncomfortable that I said it. In fact, we all have no objection to my second sister-in-law and even respected her very much. She chose to escape at the beginning, but it was hard to say that the second brother's choice... it was hard to say! If so many things happened in the middle, then at most, others could only say, 'The Liu family girl was crazy enough, and Xu Jie was crazy enough...', but after these things in the middle, looking back, my personal love is insignificant compared to these things!"
"Yes, actually, the first thing that happened after the second brother returned to the imperial capital was to go to the Liu family to apologize. Liu Ruyu really sacrificed too much for the Xu family." Sui Yan took the initiative to talk about one thing for the first time, which was obviously Liu Ruyu's previous actions, which left a heavy weight in the hearts of this taciturn young man.
"No matter what, the second brother is responsible. The situation cannot be attributed to him all the mistakes." The fat man sighed: "As long as the two elders of the Liu family can forgive him, I think there may be a turning point in the future."
Everyone knows what the little fat man is referring to. No matter what Liu Ruyu said, his status has been determined, and the identity of the Xu family’s wife cannot be changed.
Xu Luo shook his head slightly. Although he had almost no contact with Liu Ruyu, he always felt that after this talented and beautiful book fragrance: she is not an ordinary person!
This can be seen from Liu Ruyu's initial ignorance and choice to marry into the Xu family. Later, she turned the tide and saved the Xu family... Now that Xu Jie has returned, she has left two letters and left with her. This behavior is strange when she looks at it when she is a lady from a family. But if it were Huangfu Chongzhi's lover Li Yueru... it would make people feel that it is normal!
"Can you say... Liu Ruyu... she is actually a disciple of a major sect?" Xu Luo said in his heart, then shook his head, feeling that his thoughts were a bit absurd.
How could a woman who has never even left the imperial capital and rarely even her family be a disciple of a large sect?
...
The fat man's words woke Xu Jie up and gave him the courage to face the Liu family.
When he knelt at the gate of the Liu family and apologized to the two elders of the Liu family, he alarmed many people.
"Oh, isn't that Xu Jie, the young master of Duke Jingguo? This is..."
"Have you heard of it? He returned with the female general of Dayan and left his wife in anger. Isn't that wife the daughter of the Liu family?"
"I remembered that when you say that, the daughter of the Liu family, Liu Ruyu, who is both talented and beautiful, I didn't know what I thought at the beginning, and I was determined to marry into the Xu family, but in the end, it was in name but not real."
"Yes, now Liu Ruyu has left the Xu family and is missing, which is a pity!"
"The Xu family suffered a great disaster. If Liu Ruyu had not stood up, the entire Jingguo Duke's Mansion would have suffered!"
"The descendants of the Saint of Calligraphy Liu Bai are indeed amazing!"
"No matter what, the young master of the Xu family did a good job, at least he knew to come to the Liu family to apologize."
"Yes, if he doesn't come, he will be heartless!"
Everyone was talking and all kinds of discussion voices reached Xu Jie's ears, which made the strong man feel ashamed.
Liu Xuan and his wife received a report from their servants that Xu Jie was kneeling outside the Liu family to apologize, and their hearts were filled with distractions.
Mrs. Liu burst into tears and said angrily: "He still has the face to come to our house? If it weren't for him, how could our daughter leave?"
"Xiaoyu's departure... Actually, it has nothing to do with him. Didn't you read that letter?" Liu Xuan said for Xu Jie at this time.
Originally, he was extremely angry and wanted to kill Xu Jie to be angry, but after reading his daughter's letter, he understood a lot of things. Now that Xu Jie came to apologize in person, Liu Xuan's resentment dissipated.
No matter what, the Xu family is now considered to be the top wealthy family of the Cangqiu Empire. Even if Xu Jie doesn't come, no one can do anything to him.
But Xu Jie still came and knelt at the door of the Liu family to apologize. It can be said that he gave the Liu family enough face and also showed the responsibility of a man.
The man had gold under his knees, kneeled up to the sky, kneeled down to the ground, and kneeled down to his parents in the middle. That's the case, but when facing the benefactor who saved his whole family, Xu Jie's kneeling was still the right thing to do!
"Why is that okay? It's not because of this... Even if Xiaoyu wants to practice something, at least she can practice at home!" Mrs. Liu shed tears. Her daughter was the mother's flesh. When her daughter left, her mother's heart was like a knife.
"Hey, forget it, no matter whether Xiaoyu and Xu Jie have that fate, in name, we are always his parents-in-law. If you don't want to go out, just be here and I'll go out and take a look." Liu Xuan sighed, and he seemed to be a teenager. His daughter's departure was a big blow to him.
"I'll go with you." After all, Mrs. Liu is a well-educated woman. She can't do anything like cheating on her. Although she has resentment in her heart, reason still prevails.
