Chapter 72 Father Xu's Conjecture
A thought flashed through Father Xu's mind.
Suddenly he felt that Xu Qiuyue was his daughter.
Xu Qiuyue is somewhat similar to him and also loves reading. I heard that after she married Lu Yuan, she read and learned to read at home every day and she has quite a bit of talent.
His temperament is very similar to his.
This vicious woman must have known the truth, so she deliberately instigated discord behind the scenes, making Xu Qiuyue hate her father since childhood and the relationship between father and daughter being bad.
Father Xu's face suddenly became calm again. He had to stay calm and not be fooled by Mother Xu.
Moreover, Xu's mother has been partial to Xu Qiuyue since she was a child, and her partiality was particularly obvious. At that time, he thought that Xu's mother liked him, so she treated Xu Qiuyue in that way and wanted Xu Qiuyue to listen to him.
Now that I think about it carefully, this is not the case at all.
He felt that he should find Xu Qiuyue and explain the truth of the matter. Perhaps the misunderstanding between him and Xu Qiuyue could be resolved.
He also wanted to divorce his wife, even though the doctor said that he had a special health condition and it would be difficult for him to have children. But now he has adopted a son and already has a son.
Then I will find an educated woman to marry.
If you marry a virtuous woman, you may be able to raise your son into a talented person.
Xu's mother didn't want to explain at first.
But when I heard that Xu's father actually thought Xu Chunhua was not her biological daughter.
Then Xu's father would definitely not bury Xu Chunhua, nor would he go to the government office to claim Xu Chunhua's body.
Xu's mother could not accept that her own daughter was buried in the wilderness without even a burial place.
The reason why Xu's mother hated Xu Qiuyue was that she also hated Xu Qiuyue for snatching away Xu Chunhua's good marriage.
If it weren't for Xu Qiuyue, Xu Chunhua would definitely marry Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan is the only son and also the legal wife.
It’s much better than being with Xuan Jiuqing.
Especially the scene where Xu's mother saw Xu Chunhua being tortured.
In the princess's mansion, Xu Chunhua was not even as good as a maid.
It was also from Xu's father that Xu's mother learned that someone who followed Xuan Jiuqing without any status was worse than a concubine.
To put it nicely, she is a maid; to put it bluntly, she is a servant girl, a maidservant, a servant with no status at all. If they are lucky, the children they give birth to can be raised under the name of the wife; if they are unlucky, they can only be servants and cannot be included in the royal jade butterfly.
Only if it is a boy, he may wear the Royal Jade Butterfly.
This treatment is far worse than Xu Qiuyue's.
And when she returned to the village, Xu's mother heard a lot of gossip from the villagers.
Xu Chunhua followed Xuan Jiuqing so shamelessly, and Xuan Jiuqing did not support Xu Chunhua and spoke with contempt.
Xuan Jiuqing also paid for building houses for the villagers.
Naturally, no one in the village said anything good about Xu Chunhua.
Xu's mother didn't know that all this was Xuan Jiuqing's intentional or unintentional hint.
She just felt that Xu Qiuyue had taken away Xu Chunhua's husband.
That's why Xu's mother hated Xu Qiuyue so much. She hated Xu Qiuyue for not helping Xu Chunhua and letting Xu Chunhua become Lu Yuan's second wife.
Xu Chunhua would not have ended up like this.
The grace of raising a child is as heavy as Mount Tai.
She raised Xu Qiuyue and gave her such a good marriage. Xu Qiuyue should repay her.
If Xu Qiuyue was willing to help Xu Chunhua, Xu Chunhua would definitely not have ended up like this.
But Xu Qiuyue watched Xu Chunhua die, and was unwilling to help Xu Chunhua. She also asked Lu Yuan to send Xu Chunhua to that princess.
The princess had always disliked Xu Chunhua, so how could Xu Chunhua have a good ending?
How could Xu's mother not hate Xu Chunqiuyue? In Xu's mother's mind, all this was Xu Qiuyue's fault.
Mother Xu looked at Father Xu who was leaving, and quickly grabbed Father Xu and said to him, "Chunhua is your biological daughter, you must bring her back and bury her, you can't let her die without a burial place!
She is your only flesh and blood."
"Humph, don't think I don't know that before you married me, you had a childhood sweetheart. Xu Chunhua is not my child at all. You are trying to deceive me.
Do you think I'm stupid? You've never liked Xu Qiuyue since you were a child, and you've always been partial to Xu Chunhua. Do you think I don't know?
It’s just because Xu Qiuyue has been against me since she was a child, and I don’t like her, so I’m on Xu Chunhua’s side just like you.
The reason you are not nice to Xu Qiuyue is simply because she is my child and you don't like her. The real bastard is Xu Chunhua.
I really didn't expect that I would marry such a vicious woman like you."
Father Xu no longer beat Mother Xu.
He felt that he was extremely smart and had seen through Xu's mother's conspiracy.
"Boss, Chunhua is definitely your child. If I lie to you, I will be struck by lightning. You are the only man in my life. Chunhua is really your own flesh and blood, your daughter.
I only gave birth to a daughter in the fields, and another child was given to me by a woman. She helped me deliver the baby and gave me ten taels of gold.
As long as you are willing to help raise the child, that child will be Xu Qiuyue.
I gave the ten taels of gold to my parents' home, and that year my brother built a new house and got married. Unfortunately, because he had so much money, my brother thought about going out to do business, but he never came back and lost his life.
It’s all that disaster star’s fault. I shouldn’t have brought her back in the first place. Otherwise, my brother wouldn’t have died, and my daughter Chunhua wouldn’t have died either.
I thought at first that since Chunhua liked that refugee so much, if Qiuyue could marry well and help the family, life wouldn't be too bad. But I didn't expect Xu Qiuyue to be such a ruthless person."
Xu's mother cried and said that she had long forgotten about the young master of the Duke's Mansion, and that Xu Chunhua was truly the life of Xu's father.
"If you really want Xu Qiuyue to help the family, you shouldn't be so ruthless and withhold all of Qiuyue's betrothal gifts. You should only give her a pile of rotten vegetable leaves as a dowry. You should at least give her half of the money."
Father Xu spoke to Mother Xu unhappily.
Even after Xu's mother did such a thing, she still had the nerve to call Xu Qiuyue an ungrateful person.
Originally, he wanted to ask Xu's mother to give Xu Qiuyue some things.
But Xu's mother immediately went to the town to buy a house and spent the money.
This is just great.
All his relatives knew about it and asked him for money to renovate the ancestral home and to marry several of his nephews.
He has to give it to me!
He also left some money for Xu's mother to send to Xu Qiuyue.
But Xu's mother had no money, so she gave it all to Xu Chunhua to buy clothes.
In this regard, Xu's mother is much more heartless than him.
"She owes our family all this. This marriage is with Chunhua. Without Chunhua, would she be able to marry so well and become the young mistress of the Lu family?
Of course I have to think about Chunhua, this money belongs to Chunhua."
Xu's mother always thought that Xu Qiuyue had married very well.
She could accept letting Xu Chunhua marry a refugee.
She just thought that by getting this money, she could keep Xu Chunhua by her side and she wouldn't have to be bullied by her parents-in-law, so she could live a good life.
Three thousand taels is a sum of money that many people cannot earn in three lifetimes.
