Volume 1 Chapter 41 No Turning Back

  "Wenjing, this time we'll go to Hangzhou together to pray for blessings. With so many relatives praying for blessings, I believe big brother will definitely get better."

  Third Aunt smiled and explained to Xie Wenjing, who had a puzzled face.

  It wasn't until then that the old lady realized that not only had Xie Chengyu's family left the Xie household, but also Xie Chengjin's family had gone to Hangzhou. She was furious!

  "Go ahead, go ahead, as long as you're sincere, everything will be fine. Take care of Chengyu on the road and send me a message if anything happens."

  The grandfather seemed to be urging everyone, but in his words, he gave people a feeling that this was a loving grandfather.

  For a dying eldest son, so many grandchildren were sent together to follow and pray for blessings. Heaven have mercy, how heartbroken the grandfather must be for his dying son.

  The grandmother now can't stop them even if she wants to, and can only watch with a scowl as the group disappears before her eyes.

  "Cheng Ji, in a few months, you must take the exam and get the title of Jinshi. The prosperity of our family depends on you!"

  The grandmother suddenly jumped up and faced her own son, Xie Chengju. As long as her own son became a high school scholar, her status in the Xie family would be unshakeable.

  This old man right next to me, don't even think about shaking him, dare to refute his own words? Let the enemy's children and grandchildren all leave their sight? It's infuriating!

  Even if Xie Chengyu leaves his sight and really sees another doctor, it's fine. Those medicines are just misdiagnosed and mistreated by the doctor, not poisoned, and have nothing to do with him.

  For now, just drag things out with Jia Daifu, and by the time Xie Chengyu dies, there will be no need to fear him.

  Xie Wenjing was extremely happy and could finally leave the Xie family smoothly. This Xie family, if possible, she would not want to come back for her whole life.

  On her way out of Xie's house, Xie Wenjing didn't look back, but she didn't notice that there was a young man behind her, watching her leave from afar.

  Xu Yin pinched a white jade pearl flower the size of a peanut, which he had suddenly discovered when he got up early in the morning. It must have been left behind by Xie Wenjing during their last tussle with each other.

  Xu Yin carefully made her way to the edge of the courtyard wall and looked towards Xie Wenjing's yard, but she didn't see Xie Wenjing's figure anywhere.

  It wasn't until a group of people carrying large and small bags left the house that Xu Yin realized, Xie Wenjing should be leaving soon.

  Then I said goodbye to my mother, made up an excuse and hurriedly left home, going around the path to Xie's house. After arriving, I saw that Xie Wenjing had already left with her family, and could only see her soft back from a distance.

  Xu Yin involuntarily followed and chased after her, all the way to the dock where the ship was berthed. Xu Yin had hoped that Xie Wenjing would turn around and see him, but unfortunately, Xie Wenjing never looked back from start to finish.

  I don't know when she will come back. Xu Yin looked at the cargo ship leaving the dock with a sense of loss, and reluctantly returned. After returning to her own room, she carefully kept Xie Wenjing's white jade pearl flower close to her body.

  After finishing this, Xu Yin took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and prepared to buy some rice flour. He didn't tell his mother first, but told his sister first, asking her to help him conceal it from his mother for the time being, and then tell his mother later that he had earned it by writing letters for someone.

  When Xu Yin came back with a big bag of rice, Xu Cai was startled: "Big brother, so much?"

  "Shh, don't let mom hear it. Later when you cook, remember that we have rice at home. I'll go buy a few bags of flour later, but you're not allowed to tell mom, and don't ask too many questions."

  You just need to know that this money was earned by me, and in a few days, I'll slowly tell Mother that these were earned from writing letters for people. Don't leak it out, got it? Mother's eyes can't do embroidery anymore.

  Xu Cai's face showed some confusion, but thinking of the situation at home and her mother's eyes, she still chose to believe her brother's words. Her brother wouldn't do anything bad. He made a living by writing for people. Xu Cai convinced herself this way.

  Xie Wenjing smiled all over her face as she watched Yangzhou gradually disappear from view.

  Yangzhou, this beautiful and rich place, gave me too many regrets in my past life. In this life, I will not leave so many regrets again.

  This cargo ship is relatively large, originally it was the big uncle and his group who chartered it to transport goods back to Hangzhou. However, after seeing the price of rice noodles in Yangzhou, the big uncle and his group did not buy any ready-made rice noodles to take away. Instead, they placed an order for 30,000 taels with a famous rice shop in Yangzhou, Li's Rice Shop, which would only be available one month later. At that time, they would have to come back to Yangzhou again to pick up the goods.

  Big brother and second brother took Xie Wenbao to play together. At this time, Xie Wenbao was very excited, rarely taking a boat ride, constantly squatting down, wanting to play with water, scaring the two brothers to death staring at this mischievous younger brother.

  "Du Ma, go ask Liu Lingling about embroidery, at least ask her for a moment, I have something to say to the family."

  Xie Wenjing's mood was extremely relaxed, the whole boat, only Liu Lingling was an enemy who needed to be guarded against, the rest were either relatives or loyal servants, it was time to reveal the truth to all her loved ones. Father was still pretending to be weak!

  "Big Brother Da, Second Brother Er, you two have worked hard to bring Wenbao here. Wenbao, this river is very deep, if you fall in, you'll only be able to feed the fish."

  Xie Wenjing seriously scared Wen Bao, but Wen Bao replied carelessly: "Sister, I can still swim! If I fall in, I can climb back up."

  "Last summer, I was still learning how to swim with Dong'er in the lotus pond of our institute!"

  Xie Wenjing's mouth twitched at the corner, she didn't argue with him, there would be plenty of opportunities to teach this younger brother a lesson. Let you show off for a few more days first.

  As for the old woman's intention to let Dong'er teach his younger brother how to swim, Xie Wenjing knew without guessing that he would rather die from a punch than drown in water. Moreover, it was his younger brother who was learning with Dong'er in the half-person-high lotus pond, and she didn't know what level of swimming her younger brother's so-called "swimming" was at.

  "Wenjing's sister-in-law, don't worry, with us around, Wenbao will be fine."

  Two elder male cousins of hers admired her greatly and dared to ask her grandparents for permission to let their aunt leave Yangzhou during dinner, everyone present was nervous on her behalf, but surprisingly they actually succeeded?

  Xie Wenjing thanked her two elder brothers and took a look at her younger brother, who was stirring the river water with a long stick. She had to leave first and deal with Liu Lingling's matter before teaching her younger brother a lesson.

  "Dad, mom, can we invite big uncle, big aunt, third uncle and third aunt to come over, so they know your current situation, let them be at ease, and also make third uncle and third aunt alert grandma."

  Also tell Liu Lingling to be honest and convey the information that should be conveyed to her grandmother, so as not to make the old lady worry.

  Xie Wenjing arrived at her parents' cabin, which was quite spacious. Although it couldn't compare to a normal house, it wasn't much different either. Inside, there was a large bed and a square table with eight chairs.

  "Yes, it's time to speak out. If I had said it earlier, perhaps even your third uncle and aunt wouldn't have believed me. Now that I can stand up properly and talk to them, they should be able to believe the cruelty of that woman. We need to be on guard so they won't be poisoned by her either and she'll gain a good reputation as a stepmother. Go call them!"

  Xie Chengyu nodded heavily, indicating that his daughter should go and call someone, while he himself slowly got out of bed, wearing the brocade clothes he had changed into in the morning, once again displaying the demeanor of a young master from a noble family.
