To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 360 Evicted from the house

  Xu Fang's head buzzed, and the blood on her face faded instantly.

  Evict your brother from the house?

  In this world where the patriarchal clan is greater than the law, it is self-evident how miserable a person who loses the protection of the family will be.

  Xu Fang's mind went blank, and she said goodbye to Luo Sheng with a pale face: "Miss Luo, I have something to do at home, so I'm going back first..."

  Luo Sheng had appreciation in his eyes.

   When you look at a person, you look at the moment of desperation.

  Xu Fang still remembered to say hello to her at this time, which shows that she can hold her breath.

  Luo Sheng walked up to Xu Fang's side, and said in a low voice, "Miss Xu, it's not necessarily a bad thing to die."

   Put it to death before you can regenerate.

  Xu Fang stared at her blankly.

  Luo Sheng whispered a few words and got out of the way: "Since Miss Xu has something to do at home, let's go back quickly."

  Xu Fang left in a hurry with the servant who reported the letter.

  Kuer came over quickly, and whispered a few words in Luo Sheng's ear.

   "Are you really following? Mrs. Yang is really ruthless." Luo Sheng sneered with curved lips, "Let's go and watch the excitement."

  Does Miss Luo need a reason to watch the excitement? Naturally, she goes whenever she wants, and leaves whenever she wants.

  The snow was still falling, and it was blown by the wind and went straight into the collar of the man.

  Xu Fang hurried back to the Marquis of Changchun, and the servants on the road cast strange looks.

   She understood what it meant.

  Once her younger brother was expelled from the family, she, a big girl, would become a rootless duckweed.

   But at this time, she completely ignored these things, and trotted into the hall.

  The hall is as warm as spring, but the oppressive atmosphere is overwhelming.

  Xu Fang caught sight of the boy kneeling on the ground.

   "Big brother—"

  Hou Changchun looked at the eldest daughter who walked in with a cold face, and shouted: "You still know how to come back!"

   "Father, I heard that you are going to drive the eldest brother out of the house—"

   "That's right." Marquis Changchun felt relieved after making the decision, with a cold expression on his face, "This scoundrel actually went to gamble and lost five thousand taels of silver. If this continues, the family will be wiped out by him sooner or later!"

   "Father, brother is confused for a while, just give him a chance."

  The Marquis of Changchun sneered: "A moment of confusion? How many troubles has this scoundrel caused since he was a child, how long will he be confused? Gambling is different from other things. I have never seen a person who is addicted to gambling stop his hand."

  Xu Fang plopped down on her knees, tears streaming down her face: "Father, brother is your son, he is not someone else..."

  At this moment, she became more and more aware of how cruel this so-called father was.

   People who stay out of the matter know that it is difficult for a gambler to quit, but in the face of a son, how many people can sever the relationship between father and son without hesitation?

   Sure enough, she was right to be cautious all these years. If she naively thought that he cared about the relationship between father and daughter, she might have lost her life long ago.

Faced with Xu Fang's entreaties, the Marquis of Changchun remained unmoved, and said indifferently: "It is for the good of the entire Marquis Mansion to drive this unfilial son out of the house. I am the head of the family, and I am responsible for the entire Xu family. If the evil is my son, I will tolerate it."

   "Father, the eldest brother is only fifteen years old, if he is kicked out, he will have no way to survive—"

  The Marquis of Changchun impatiently interrupted Xu Fang: "Fang'er, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I've already made my decision."

  Xu Fang looked at Xu Qi with tears in her eyes.

  Xu Qi knelt motionless, like a clay sculpture.

   "Brother... say something!"

  After hearing Xu Fang's words, Xu Qi looked at Marquis Changchun with a pale face, with hope hidden in his eyes.

  Up to this moment, he still doesn't believe that he will be kicked out of the house by his father.

  Until he watched Changchun Hou write the note with his own eyes, the young man's face turned pale.

  Xu Fang knelt and moved in front of the Marquis of Changchun, begging bitterly: "Father, please give me one more chance to correct my mistakes."

  The Marquis of Changchun said coldly: "The article has been written, and there is no possibility of changing it!"

  Xu Fang raised her head, gritted her teeth and said, "Father, if you insist on evicting eldest brother from the house, then you might as well expel me from the house together."

  Xu Qi suddenly looked at Xu Fang, his eyes were full of shock.

  He never thought that Xu Fang would say such a thing.

  When he was young, when he stayed alone in the Hou Mansion, the eldest sister only went to the Ningguo Mansion to please his cousin, but now she would be kicked out of the house voluntarily because of him?

  If it is said that boys are expelled from the house and the situation is miserable, girls almost have only a dead end.

  The boy stared at his sister in a daze, with extremely complicated emotions.

  The Marquis of Changchun stared at Xu Fang with a gloomy expression: "Fang'er, are you threatening me?"

  Xu Fang slammed her head on the cold ground, and then raised her head, her smooth forehead was already red.

   "Why would my daughter threaten my father? My daughter really can't bear the fact that my brother was kicked out of the house at a young age to fend for himself. Please ask my father to drive me out of the house and let me take care of my brother in the future—"

   "I don't need you to take care of me!" Xu Qi roared and interrupted Xu Fang, "My business has nothing to do with you, so don't worry about it!"

  By this time, Xu Qi had already forgotten the fear of being kicked out of the house, but was overwhelmed by a greater fear.

  Even if he is not satisfied with this sister, this is his only sister, and he doesn't want to watch her commit suicide.

   "That's enough, stop making trouble! Someone, help the eldest girl back to the room." Marquis Changchun looked at the pair of children indifferently, and ordered coldly.

  Of course he would not drive the eldest daughter out of the house together.

The eldest son's **** is seen by all neighbors today, even if he made this decision, no one will make irresponsible remarks, but if the eldest daughter is kicked out together, Ningguo Duke's mansion will definitely come to question him. Pile trouble.

   Soon a burden was thrown in front of Xu Qi.

   "My lord, please."

  Xu Qi sat motionless on the ground, indifferent to the servant's words.

  The manager winked, and the two servants immediately pulled Xu Qi up and carried him out.

  Yang tried her best to suppress the smile in her eyes, her face was full of worry: "Master Hou, let Xi'er go out like this, what will happen in the future?"

  Hou Changchun covered his face with frost, without any hesitation: "Let him go!"

  The eldest son is of great significance to any family, but all expectations for this son have been worn away as he got into trouble again and again.

  Up to now, he only hopes that he never had this son, at least not to affect the Hou Mansion in the slightest because of the existence of this son.

  Xu Qi allowed his servants to walk out, but kept turning his head to look at Marquis Changchun.

  What he saw was a face that was indifferent to heartless.

   Now, he finally understands that he was completely abandoned by his father and became a bereaved dog.

  The young man turned his eyes blankly, and looked at Yang who was standing side by side with Marquis Changchun.

   But he has been dragged too far, and Yang's expression is blurred in his eyes.

  The vermilion lacquer gate of the Changchun Marquis Mansion was not opened, only the side door was open, and Xu Qi was just pushed out through the side door.

  People outside didn't notice that Xu Qi was kicked out, and didn't stop to watch the excitement.

  Xu Fang broke free from the mother-in-law who was helping her back to the room, and chased her out: "Brother, wait—"

  People immediately came to the spirit.

  Changchun Hou Mansion is lively again?
