"Dad? Why are you back at this time?"

While Xu Songchi was dazed, Lin Qingwu had already sent people to clean up the house and prepare hot water. The old man must have traveled day and night to get back, and he must be very tired at this time.

"You! Get out of my way! I want to see my Huan'er!"

Wu Dinghou pushed Xu Songchi aside and hurriedly ran to the tablet. When he saw Xu Huan's tablet, he shed two lines of tears.

"Huan'er... you are so young, why did you suffer such a disaster? My Huan'er! You... it's because your father can't forgive you!"

Wu Dinghou cried so hard that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, almost losing his breath.

I just received a letter from home a few days ago, and I hurried back after learning the news that the old lady and Mr. Wei were dead. Who knew that as soon as I arrived in Kyoto, I learned that Huan'er had been burned alive!

How could he accept this at his age?

"Say hello to daddy. He's in a hurry, so it's better to go and pay homage to my mother-in-law and old lady first. With my daughter-in-law and the prince watching here, there will be no trouble."

Hearing this, Wu Dinghou calmed down his sadness for a while. His son and daughter-in-law were all watching here, so he still had to show some of the momentum of his elders.

"You must be Qingwu. When I was at the border, your mother-in-law often wrote letters and mentioned you in every line. You are a filial child."

"Daughter-in-law, thank you daddy for the compliment."

Xu Songchi was just about to say something when he saw Xu Zongen, smelling of alcohol, rushing into the mourning hall like a wild horse running wild.

"Aunt Mei! Aunt Mei! I want to find Aunt Mei!"

He bumped into many servants along the way, but no one dared to stop him.

Wu Dinghou frowned, are all the children in Kyoto so unruly now?

By the way, whose child is this? Who is Aunt Mei again?

Then I thought again, there is only one son like the prince in this house, of course Aunt Mei is his... daughter-in-law, then this child must also be his grandson.

It’s just that this grandson’s etiquette teaching has really failed. He is yelling and being very unruly!

Seeing Wu Dinghou's expression change, Lin Qingwu curled up into a smile. The more people who dislike such a white-eyed wolf, the better.

"Come here! Stop the second young master quickly! What if I bump into the Marquis!"

Xu Songchi ordered with a dark face. Only then did the servants react. They swarmed up and surrounded Xu Zongen, making it difficult for him to move.

"Let me go! I want to see Aunt Mei! I want to see her!"

Xu Zongen struggled to jump forward, but he was still a child after all. Even if he practiced some martial arts on weekdays, he could not compare with those servants who had been doing heavy work for a long time.

Due to excessive force, the money bag on his waist suddenly fell off for some reason. The sound of hitting the ground made others look sideways. The white money fell out of the bag and sprinkled all over the floor.

Xu Zongen hurriedly knelt down to pick it up, but the movement here had already been seen by everyone in the hall.

"Chi'er, does your son actually carry so much money on weekdays?"

Wu Dinghou was not angry and proud, even Xu Songchi, who was used to big scenes, could not stop trembling.

Damn it! This rebellious son is worthy of being born to Liu Baoer! His ability to cause trouble is as good as his mother's!

Before Xu Songchi could open his mouth to explain, Lin Qingwu said first: "Zong En has always been a sensible and obedient child. Not only does he respect his teachers, but he is also friendly and generous to his classmates. Moreover, this child is sweet-talking and clever, which is what the prince usually does. Let him carry more money with him."

Hearing Lin Qingwu's explanation, Xu Songchi also breathed a sigh of relief. I don’t know when, but I started to look at her much more pleasantly.

Anyway, Liu Baoer's whereabouts are now unknown, so it's not too late for him to calm down now.

Furthermore, there are currently only two Lin Qingwu and Cuidie in the backyard. She should have been grateful to herself a long time ago!

Xu Zongen also knew that the source of his money was unknown. If his father really found out about the gambling house, he would inevitably suffer physical pain. I am afraid that he would be despised by the time, and his position as the heir apparent would be even more hopeless.

Marquis Wu Ding had just come back, and he didn't want to go into details about many things. If he did, everyone in the house would have to shed their skin.

"Let the kid get up, keep the money and don't lose it. I'm going to rest for a while."

After saying that, he walked towards the yard where he lived, his back looking very lonely.

I remember that when he left home, Chi'er had not yet married. He was a high-spirited young man, clamoring to follow him to the border.

Huan'er was still a girl who had not yet left the court. She was so angry that she had to leave home that she didn't eat for several days.

But when it was time to leave, my eyes would become wet, as if my flesh had been cut away.

In just a few years, things and people have changed so quickly.

Xu Zongen watched the man leave, and hurriedly picked up the silver on the ground and put it away again. As soon as he raised his head, he met Xu Songchi's gloomy face.

"Dad...I..."

Before he could explain, he was slapped, and his face was turned to one side.

"You'd better tell me clearly where all this money comes from! If you let me know in the future that you dare to take those crooked ways, I will definitely kill you with my own hands!"

Xu Songchi was so angry that he was itching his teeth. He had known for a long time that this child was a loser, but he didn't expect that he would start loving and amassing money at such a young age!

It’s really insulting to the family tradition! Unlucky family!

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Lin Qingwu hurriedly stood up and protected Xu Zongen behind him.

"He's just a child! He's still young and doesn't understand many truths. He just needs to be educated well in the future. Why do you need to do anything to a child?"

Listening to Lin Qingwu's words, tears fell from Xu Zongen's face.

Yes, what did he do wrong to deserve such a beating from his father? He just went to play a few games... not to mention he didn't lose any money!

Why did dad say that he had gone astray!

I will definitely let you all see it in the future! Even from gambling, I can still make a lot of money!

Xu Zongen secretly swore in his heart that one day, he would prove it to all of them!

"Zong En, if you really want to stay with Aunt Mei, just stay here with me tonight. Your eldest aunt and Aunt Mei are both pitiful people... Sigh."

Speaking of this, Lin Qingwu sighed, his tone full of regret.

"Mother, don't be too sad. Your health is more important."

Xu Hengpu walked in with a soothing soup. He had been waiting at the door for a long time. He saw that everyone had left and the adults had finished losing their temper before coming in.

He is not stupid, and no one is stupid enough to hit the gun like Xu Zongen.
