Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

"……What did you say?"

Hearing Xu Shuhua say that Gu Yunji was right, Xu Ziqi almost suspected that he had heard something wrong, and said in disbelief: "Xu Shuhua, don't forget, your surname is Xu, you are the daughter of my Xu family, how can you turn your elbows outward! "

Xu Shuhua met Xu Ziqi's gaze without evading it, with sharp eyes: "My surname is Xu, but it doesn't mean that I have to be bound to every Xu family member. Gu Yunji is my husband, and I am facing him. Could it be that Are your elbows turned out?"

"Besides, Yun Ji did nothing wrong. It is an established fact that Xu Shuchang colluded with the Japanese pirates and sold grain to the traitor Gao Shishu. The evidence is conclusive. As the prefect of Shaoxing, Yun Ji has the qualifications and power to arrest him."

"Gu Yunji represents the law of the country and the imperial court. It is reasonable to arrest Xu Shuchang. Even if he is not my husband, regardless of the relationship between husband and wife, I have every reason to stand on the side of the imperial court, hand over Xu Shuchang, a Japanese prisoner, and marry the whole family." The righteousness of the country.”

In this era where kinship is valued, Gu Yunji's behavior can be called righteous in the grand scheme of things, but in private he can't help but be criticized as being inhumane.People hope that the in-laws can help their family, not a son-in-law like him who "kills relatives for justice".

If it were the woman next to her, her husband would have the ability to make big things happen, but he would still want to put his cousin in jail mercilessly, fearing that he would fall out with him directly.Of course Gu Yunji knew that Xu Shuhua was not that kind of person, but he did not expect that his wife not only understood him, but also supported him unswervingly.

Looking at Xu Shuhua's thin but firm figure, Gu Yunji's eyes welled up with slight warmth: "Shuhua..."

Compared to Gu Yunji, Xu Shuhua's reaction was completely unexpected by Xu Ziqi. He was so angry that his fingers trembled: "Okay, okay... Xu Shuhua, you don't have to take me seriously, and you don't have to take the Xu family seriously, but Xu Shuchang is The only bloodline left by your second uncle and second aunt, do you really not care about family ties at all?"

"No matter how incompetent Xu Shuchang is, he is still your blood cousin. Let's not mention anything else, let's talk about your father. How much effort have you put into him over the years? Your father is old. If he knew that his daughter and son-in-law love him in every possible way, What will he think if his nephew is sent to prison with his own hands? How do you want him to accept it!"

Mentioning Xu Chengyu, a flash of struggle flashed in Xu Shuhua's eyes, but he soon regained his determination: "My father loves Xu Shuchang, but he hopes that he will become a successful person. Not to mention how promising he is, at least he should be a person of good conduct, but As a result, what did he do? Colluded with Japanese pirates and violated national law!"

Saying that, Xu Shuhua glanced at Xu Shuchang who was hiding behind Xu Ziqi. At this moment, she no longer even hated the iron, her eyes were full of contempt and disgust.

She has always disliked Xu Shuchang. As long as she can remember, she has always seen him making her father angry.The troubles she and Xu Shujing had caused together since they were young were not as many as Xu Shuchang's in one month. Every time he mentioned him, Xu Chengyu always frowned, without any smile on his face.

Over the years, Xu Chengyu's expectations for Xu Shuchang have dropped again and again. From hoping that he would succeed in the imperial examination and becoming an official, to having a happy and smooth life, to now it is enough for him to live peacefully and not cause trouble.

However, even with such low requirements, Xu Shuchang failed to meet Xu Chengyu's expectations.Instead of letting his father worry about this waste forever, it would be better to cut him off with a single blow and hand him over to the government for disposal. Since he cannot be educated, let him receive the punishment he deserves to avoid causing greater trouble. It can also be regarded as a kind of merit.

Thinking of this, Xu Shuhua closed his eyes and opened them again with determination: "The Japanese pirates of Gao Shishu's faction have harassed our coast for many years. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil, causing many people to lose their lives. Xu Shuchang knew the benefits and dangers, but still chose to fight with them. Collusion, without even a basic sense of morality, it is really a waste of life!"

"As a large family in Shaoxing and a century-old scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River, our Xu family should take the initiative to take on the responsibility and set an example for the people. Even if it is to safeguard the honor of the family and preserve the name of our ancestors, we should hand over Xu Shuchang, a Japanese prisoner. , let everyone see the rigorous family tradition of the Xu family in Shaoxing, and the tolerance of righteousness to eliminate relatives."

As he said that, Xu Shuhua looked at Xu Ziqi with cold eyes: "Instead of being like my uncle who only cares about favors and ignores legal principles, he blindly protects Xu Shuchang. Fortunately, Yunji is the son-in-law of the Xu family. If it were someone else who has nothing to do with the Xu family, An official, do you think he will still indulge the Xu family so much?"

"I'm afraid that because my cousin refused to hand over the crime, he would have already beaten the Xu family to the same crime and put the entire Xu family in jail."

Xu Ziqi was completely angered by these words and said emotionally: "Xu Shuhua, who do you think you are? You dare to accuse me! Don't think that with your brother and your father protecting you, you can act arrogantly in front of me. After all, , you are just a married woman, and your married daughter throws away the water, and it is not your turn to have any say in the affairs of the Xu family!"

"Just now, my cousin said that I am the daughter of the Xu family and should be a daughter of my own family. Why have I become a married woman now?" Xu Shuhua smiled sarcastically, and then his face turned cold. "No matter what my cousin thinks, even if I am a I am an outsider who has nothing to do with the Xu family, but as a citizen of Daxia, I also have the responsibility and obligation to help the government arrest the criminals."

"Sheltering is not a family tradition of the Xu family. Upholding righteousness is the way for our Xu family in Shaoxing to prosper for hundreds of years. Xu Shuchang has committed a crime and should be dealt with according to the national law. Please don't persist in your stubbornness and hand over the Japanese prisoners!"

As he spoke, Xu Shuhua's sharp eyes pierced Xu Shuchang, who was cowering aside, and shouted: "Xu Shuchang, you have committed a serious crime. The Xu family will not tolerate you, and the court will not tolerate you. Why don't you just surrender and arrest you!"

Xu Shuchang was frightened and angry. He mustered up his courage and shouted to Xu Shuhua with a blushing face: "Xu Shuhua, I am your cousin. Are you so impatient to see me behind bars? You are such a cold-hearted person who doesn't even recognize your relatives." Man, how could uncle raise a daughter like you!"

Hearing this, Xu Shuhua showed a rare trace of anger on his face, and cursed: "Cousin? Bah! I don't have a cousin like you! You have been ignorant since you were a child, and you have caused so many troubles without any repentance. Not only did he get involved in gambling, but now he has colluded with the Japanese pirates and committed a serious crime. He is simply a member of the Xu family in vain!"

"You have bad character, ruined the Xu family tradition, failed my father's careful teachings to you, and failed your second uncle and second aunt's expectations for you during his lifetime! I, Xu Shuhua, am ashamed to be associated with such an unfaithful, unfilial and unjust person. You have the same surname and the same clan!"

Speaking of this, Xu Shuhua decisively ordered: "Come here, capture the unscrupulous son Xu Shuchang and hand him over to the government!" (End of Chapter)
