Chapter 120 Body Contract
Xie Shiyu did not return home all night, and Mrs. Xie was still a little worried. She sent someone to the Wang family, but the Wang family said that Xie Shiyu had never come to see Wang Shen.
Mrs. Xie thought he had gone there to fool around again, so she asked people to go out and look for him, but there was a curfew in the city, so they couldn't find him.
Mrs. Xie went to find Xie Shilian early in the morning, her heart pounding as she said, "Shilian, Ayu hasn't come back all night, send someone to look for him. I'm afraid something has happened to him."
When Xie Shilian heard this, he frowned and quickly sent someone to look for him.
Madam Xie covered her chest and said, "Nothing will happen to your brother, right?"
Xie Shilian comforted her, "Mother, A-Yu is a playful person, who knows, he might be drinking with some bad friends!"
"It's okay to drink, as long as nothing happens." Mrs. Xie said.
Xie Shilian sighed: "Mother, you can't indulge Ayu anymore! Look at what he has become now? He only knows how to play all day long and has no ambition to make progress."
"What can I do? You're all gone, and I'm the only one at home. How can I keep an eye on Yu?"
Mrs. Xie has suffered so much over the years! How could she not want to be with her family? However, in their current situation, with a large number of troops under their control and feared by the emperor, Mrs. Xie could not leave the capital, and Xie Shiyu could not leave either.
Two years ago, he finally begged the Empress Dowager for a favor and allowed Xie Shiyu to go to the northwest to gain some experience. However, Xie Shiyu could not stand the bitter cold in the northwest and came back in a huff.
Xie Shiyu's current personality is due, on the one hand, to Mrs. Xie's doting, and on the other hand, to Xie Shiyu's eccentric personality.
Xie Shilian couldn't help but sigh when he heard his mother say this. Come to think of it, if Xie Shiyu was with him and his father in the northwest, perhaps he wouldn't be so naughty.
"Now that you are at home, don't worry about that illegitimate child all the time! Take care of your own brother more!" Mrs. Xie's tone became unpleasant when she thought of Qi Shuo.
Xie Shilian heard that her mother was still so hostile to Qi Shuo. There was one thing she hadn't told her yet, so she told her now so that she could get used to it.
"Mother, Qi Shuo has two children. I asked someone to bring them to the capital and settle them in our home."
"The illegitimate child?" Mrs. Xie immediately got angry and screamed, "No! I don't agree!"
Xie Shilian said, "Mother! They are just two little kids, they don't take up much space! Besides, this is what father wanted."
"Have you two made up your mind to inform me? I tell you, I don't care what happens to you in the northwest, but now the mansion in the capital is my territory, and I will never tolerate the illegitimate child born by that illegitimate child!"
Mrs. Xie's words were very unpleasant.
Xie Shilian asked: "Mother, we can't let these two children live on the streets, right?"
"Why not? I heard that Qi Shuo was a beggar in his early years, so it's not a big deal for his children to be beggars!"
"Mother!" Xie Shilian said firmly, "This matter was decided by father, mother, they will definitely move in."
"Okay, you ask them to move in, and I'll make their lives miserable!"
"Mother, why are you arguing with two children?"
"It's fine if you don't mind it, just don't let them live here!"
Mrs. Xie had already found it hard to tolerate her husband's absence all year round, and now an illegitimate child suddenly appeared, which immediately made her suspicious. Was it because she was not with the Duke all these years that another woman took her place to accompany the Duke?
Once this suspicion arose, a rift appeared in Mrs. Xie's heart, and she was inevitably reacting strongly to Qi Shuo's affairs.
Seeing his mother like this, Xie Shilian had no choice but to give up. He decided to arrange for them to live outside. After all, there would be considerate people taking care of them, so there was no need to worry about anything happening.
But in this way, Qi Shuo's two children were wronged, and Xie Shilian felt a little guilty.
……
Xie Shiyu seldom slept in the small bed, which was very narrow. He did not sleep well in the first half of the night and did not wake up until the morning.
He was awakened by the servant.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master, please wake up! Madam and the eldest young master are sending someone to look for you!"
When Xie Shiyu heard his mother and elder brother, he suddenly sat up from the bed.
"Big brother is here?"
The servant shook his head: "No, the eldest master just sent someone to look for you!"
"go home quickly!"
He did not return home all night and even slept in a brothel. If his elder brother knew about this, he would definitely beat him up.
But he was wrong. Xie Shilian was busy with many things at the moment and had no time to consider Xie Shiyu's presence, so he was able to take advantage of the opportunity.
Xie Shiyu stood up and put on his shoes, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a woman who was still dressing up inside the gauze tent in the room.
Xie Shiyu finished dressing, took a few steps forward and said, "Miss Jiaoyue, I apologize for offending you last night. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
"Oh, I see."
The woman's voice was indifferent, as if she didn't care about him at all.
Xie Shiyu couldn't help feeling a little frustrated. He wanted to say something, but felt it was inappropriate. He had no choice but to turn around and leave the house.
As soon as he walked out of the house, he ran into the Ji brothers.
Ji Mingquan pulled Xie Shiyu and asked him with a smile: "How is it, Shiyu? It feels good to hold a warm and soft jade in your arms, right?"
Xie Shiyu forced a smile and nodded.
Ji Mingquan continued to laugh.
Ji Mingzhen said, "Mr. Li saw that you liked Miss Jiaoyue, so he redeemed her and gave her to you, Brother Xie."
Ji Mingzhen suddenly handed Xie Shiyu a redemption contract. Xie Shiyu suddenly raised his head, slightly shocked.
"What's wrong? Does Shiyu not want Jiaoyue? If not, then I want her!"
Ji Mingquan was grinning. He was a very lustful person and reached out to snatch the redemption contract. Xie Shiyu reacted suddenly and grabbed the redemption contract in his hand.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Li. But where is Master Li? I would like to thank him in person!"
Xie Shiyu held the redemption contract in his hand, feeling somewhat uneasy. He felt as if he had owed a debt to someone else who had suddenly done him a favor.
Ji Mingzhen smiled and said, "Mr. Li has something else to do, so he left first. He said he would meet Brother Xie another day. Since Brother Xie likes Jiaoyue, Jiaoyue will go back with you."
Jiaoyue was inside the room and had already heard their voices. She walked out of the room and came to Xie Shiyu's side.
Xie Shiyu frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong. He suddenly brought a living person into the house, and it would be difficult for his mother and elder brother to pass the test.
But now that he had obtained her indenture, he had no way of refusing. He could only bite the bullet and take her away.
"Brother Ji, Brother Mingquan, I have something to do at home so I'll leave first. We'll continue another day."
"Okay! We'll continue this another day."
After Xie Shiyu left, Jiaoyue followed him very consciously.
When the Ji brothers saw the two men leaving, they looked at each other and smiled.
