Chapter 168: Whose calculations are deeper, Mr. Xu and the family? [One more chapter will be added t
"I will be pointed at by thousands of people and spit upon by tens of thousands of people. You can use the situation to make me obey your orders."
"You want me to rescue your filial eldest son from the county government, find an official position for your youngest son, and most importantly, find a duke or marquis position for you and your wife."
"If I disagree with anything at all, you can just walk out the door and do nothing. Just bow your head and cry, and the spit of the world will ruin my reputation."
"Or let your wife cry on the streets of the capital. No matter what happens, I will be held in your hands and I will never be able to turn over a new leaf."
"Grandfather, am I right?"
Xu Jinyu approached Mr. Xu with a smile.
Old Master Xu leaned back in his chair in horror, his lips trembling but unable to utter a single sound. The darkest thoughts in his heart were exposed, causing his mind to go blank.
If he hadn't been tied up, Mr. Xu would have been able to jump up.
How could this person know the truest thoughts in my heart, and how could this person call me grandfather.
Looking at the fair-skinned woman in official uniform, Mr. Xu thought of what the people who had picked him up had said, and realized the identity of the person in front of him.
The second daughter of the second son's family, his third granddaughter, and the guarantee of his wealth and glory.
Princess Tai'an--Xu Jinyu.
"Master Xu, I didn't think so?" Old Master Xu said almost tremblingly, not daring to think of the woman in front of him as his granddaughter at all.
Now he no longer thought about wealth and glory, but how to save his life from this strange granddaughter.
Deep down in his heart, Grandpa Xu regretted so much that he wanted to slap himself to death. Why didn't he ever think of treating his granddaughter well?
If he had treated this granddaughter well, he would at least be a master now.
What did you think at the beginning?
The eldest brother is a scholar, which is the guarantee that he can become a master.
The eldest son's daughter is pretty and literate, so she can be used for marriage, which will help the Xu family to move to a higher level.
As for the second son's daughters, they were pale and skinny, timid, and looked useless at first glance.
Then let the people in the family treat you as you please, as long as you don’t die. When you grow up, I’ll give it to whoever gives me more money.
Xu Jinyu stood up and looked coldly at the grandfather in this body.
"You didn't think so, but you did it. After all, it's not as good as being a marquis for your granddaughter to be a princess."
"This is your truest thought. Your family is not your family, but your ladder to wealth and glory. Even your eldest son, whom you value the most, is mostly used by you."
"Because your eldest son may help you escape from your status as a farmer."
"If everything goes as you think, you don't need to think about being a marquis or anything like that. It's no problem for you to be a rich and idle person. It's a pity that the people of the noble family need your life to throw dirty water on me."
"If I hadn't discovered it earlier, you would be dead now."
Old Master Xu shuddered again. He was just greedy, not stupid. "Master Xu, I'm not greedy anymore. I'm not greedy anymore. Please send me back to Gaomiao Village!"
Now Mr. Xu doesn’t want anything. What about Duke or Marquis? Is that something an ordinary person can think about?
"And then you get caught and threaten me."
TV dramas and movies tell Xu Jinyu to never overestimate the moral integrity of aristocratic families.
Don't underestimate the people's ability to follow the crowd.
No matter where the grandparents died, the aristocratic family always found a way to throw dirty water on Xu Jinyu.
Xu Jinyu didn't want to be threatened, so she planned to eliminate the trouble once and for all. She couldn't kill people directly, but she could lock them up on the island in the middle of the lake in the princess's mansion.
What a wonderful life it is to have children around you and no worries about food and clothing.
"Grandfather, since you are in the capital, you should stay in my Princess Tai'an Mansion! You will have wealth and glory, but you can't leave this Princess Tai'an Mansion."
"I...I don't...I want to go home."
Xu Jinyu's meaning was very easy to understand, that is, he wanted to imprison himself, Old Man Xu boldly blurted out.
"Go home. Your family suffered a great loss this time. Do you think they will let you go?"
Xu Jinyu's voice was still indifferent.
Mr. Xu's expression became even uglier.
When the people from the princess's mansion went to bring her back, they killed all the people who had brought her to the capital. Not only that, they also tortured them before killing them.
The piercing scream scared Mr. Xu so much that he almost wet his pants.
Mr. Xu is not so arrogant as to think that he is more valuable than those loyal servants of the aristocratic families. It doesn't take much thought to know that the people of the aristocratic families will not let him go.
"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't be greedy, I wouldn't be greedy..."
But there is no such thing as knowing in advance. It is too late for Mr. Xu to regret.
"Take them to the island in the middle of the lake and reunite them."
"By the way, I have another piece of news to tell you. Your second son, my parents sold the marriage between your eldest sister and your younger sister for three thousand taels of silver." Xu Jinyu added.
Three thousand taels of silver!
This suddenly woke up Mu, who had not opened her mouth since Xu Jinyu came in.
Three thousand taels of silver gave Mu infinite strength. Mu stood up with the chair and looked at Xu Jinyu with a smile on her face: "Zhao Di, you have made a difference now. Three thousand taels of silver is enough to save your uncle. Your uncle is still in the county jail!"
Xu Jinyu turned around and said, "Give me a reason to save him?"
"Your uncle treats you very well."
At this time, Xu Feiyu ran in from outside, his eyes were red and swollen, and it was obvious that he had been crying for a long time.
"Why is uncle so nice to us? Every time he comes home, we sisters run around and run around, so tired that we don't even have the strength to lift a finger, but you still don't let us eat at the table because we are not presentable."
"Then...didn't your uncle bring back some cakes?"
"Heh..." Xu Feiyu sneered again.
"When have we ever eaten the cakes that uncle brought back? And you must have remembered that my second sister was tricked into the mountains by my aunt."
When she said this, Xu Feiyu's tears welled up even more, because she knew that her second sister was gone, and the one standing here now was Xu Jinyu, not Xu Zhaodi.
"Then... isn't she okay? She even came to the capital because she saved the prince."
Mu's eyes were full of envy. How wonderful it would be if this prince was saved by Xu Jingshu. Shu was filial and would definitely let them enjoy happiness together.
"Second sister is lucky to be fine. Can we just pretend that nothing happened?"
Xu Feiyu turned around and bravely ordered: "Guard Gao, take them to the island in the middle of the lake."
Gao Yao glanced at Xu Jinyu. After Xu Jinyu nodded, Gao Yao pulled the rope that tied up the old couple Xu and walked outside.
Mu was still unwilling to give up: "Zhao Di! Zhao Di! Since you refused to save your uncle, can you find someone to bring your uncle to the capital? Your uncle has done nothing wrong to you."
Xu Jinyu's eyes were still cold.
The so-called "no apologies" means that no physical action was taken, but it is normal to say dirty words.
The whole family was united in the oppression. My uncle and aunt never took any action in the trivial matters at home. It was all done by Xu Zhaodi and her two sisters.
When Mr. Xu saw Xu Jinyu's gaze, he directly scolded his wife: "Mu, shut up!"
"Why should I shut up? The eldest son is in the county government office, the youngest son is not around, and the children born by the second son are all money-losing goods. The descendants of your Xu family can't enjoy any wealth and glory, and all the wealth has been taken advantage of by these money-losing goods."
Mu is still a little scared when facing the current Xu Zhaodi, but she is not so polite to her old wife Mu.
"Old man! Your Xu family has not enjoyed any prosperity or wealth! Not at all~~"
Mu cried and rushed towards Old Man Xu, observing the expression on Xu Jinyu's face out of the corner of her eye.
Xu Jinyu sneered and ordered someone to close the door of the hall.
