The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 803
[Chapter 803 Guilt]
Anyone involved in such a thing will not have any good results in the end.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together.
This is actually the case.
Others don’t care what kind of person you are. As long as they see you and Xu Ju standing together, others will already have a judgment about what kind of person you are.
This is also the reason why more and more people are leaving.
Because they understand this.
Don’t those who stay understand this?
They also understand, but they have been tied to Xu Ju before, and there is no way to leave at this time.
It would be better to stay and see how things develop and see if a solution can be found.
Of course, at present, hope is still relatively slim.
“Sir Xu, please tell me whether the shrew outside has anything to do with you. Tell the truth. You also need to explain it to us, and then we can discuss how to deal with it.
Otherwise, it’s not enough to waste time like this. There is a way.
Those people have surrounded the restaurant. If Mr. Xu doesn’t show up, they are afraid they will come and demolish the restaurant!”
When everyone heard this, they all agreed in unison.
“Brother Liu is right. Whether he is right or wrong, we must first understand this matter. Mr. Xu, it has not been a year or two since you came to Kyoto Prefecture, and such a mother and son suddenly appeared.
To tell the truth , even if you admit it, many people don’t believe it.”
This person said this at this time, it was a bit interesting, and he just wanted to cheat.
After everyone heard this, their expressions were a little complicated.
They are all public officials. They usually supervise the civil and military officials in the court, or they are His Majesty.
From the policy of establishing a country to the small issue of conferring concubines, they all had to write letters and speak out, and they always stood on the high ground of morality, often quoting the words of saints.
However, at this moment, it is
hey.
Several people were already shaking their heads and sighing, but without saying anything, they had already acquiesced in the tone of how this matter should be handled.
There is no doubt about it, but I will never admit it!
Because once this matter is admitted, there will be no turning point. At present, the only choice is to refuse to admit it, even if it is true, it must be pretended to be false.
Pretending not to recognize the mother and son, and then letting the news out, Xin’an Hou was secretly causing trouble behind the scenes.
What the purpose is is self-evident.
After all, the petition for Fang Xiuxiu had only been posted for a few days.
Those who are willing to believe will naturally believe it, and those who are unwilling to believe have nothing to do.
But Xu Ju was silent for a long time, then he raised his eyes, looked around, and suddenly spoke: “You guys should leave, there are people watching here, and if nothing else, few of them should know a few adults.
This matter I am responsible for this matter alone.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
This not only means admitting this matter in front of them, but also means admitting this matter in Kyoto Prefecture and in front of thousands of people in the entire Chu Kingdom.
Some
people were silent.
After a while, someone said: “Master Xu, this matter is not trivial. You must think it through clearly!
If you are not careful, you will be in a doomed situation!”
This is also true.
Don’t say it was a little careless.
At this moment, he was already in a place of eternal doom.
But Xu Ju still said: “I know it.”
At this time, the middle-aged woman’s voice outside was still echoing.
“Xu Ju, you are still not a human being. Do you still remember what you said when we first met?
You said that you would treat me well for the rest of your life. If you win the imperial examination or the Jinshi in the future, you would buy me a big house. , buy me jewelry, keep me fed, and keep me warm, do you remember?
You are now prosperous and wealthy, and you have forgotten everything you said before!
I have nothing to say, so you should give me an explanation! Standing here alone, waiting for so many years, being a widow for you for so many years, this is nothing!”
This voice was filled with grievance in anger, sadness in grievance, and a bit of despair in sadness. .
It is impossible for anyone to listen to this without feeling the slightest emotion.
After hearing this, the expressions of all the adults in the private room changed a bit, and the expressions they looked at Xu Ju also changed a bit.
Not to mention Xu Ju.
At this moment, his eyes were already red.
But he didn’t know whether it was because he was angry that he had lost his future, or because he felt guilty for having failed his wife all these years.
There was another moment of silence.
Xu Ju seemed to have made up his mind. He raised his eyes and looked at his friends with a very firm expression. He gritted his teeth and said: “I have made a decision. You don’t need to persuade me anymore.
You all leave first. I will go down after a while.” .”
Everyone present is not a fool, so they naturally understand what this means.
They were silent for a long time, but still did not persuade him any more. They just stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, then turned and left.
Xu Ju stood there alone, his eyes were red, looking at one place blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
The roar outside the window has gradually subsided.
Even the chaotic noise was much weaker.
All that remains is the cry of a helpless woman.
This cry of incomparable sorrow makes anyone who hears it cry.
After all, Xu Ju couldn’t restrain his inner guilt and walked out of the restaurant on his own initiative.
As soon as I walked to the door of the restaurant, I saw a lot of people blocking it.
As soon as he saw him, he said loudly: “Hey, what’s your name? If you want to go out, you have to ask someone to pick you up!”
Xu Ju was silent for a moment and only said two words: “Xu Ju.”
“Xu Ju? The
man
blocking the door was startled for a moment, then looked at him with wide eyes, and said loudly: “You are Xu Ju! You are finally willing to come down!”
Xu Ju remained silent and did not speak.
When the man saw this, he didn’t say much. He just moved out of the way and said, “Hurry up and get there! Shameless bitch!”
At first, he didn’t mean to curse, but when he heard the middle-aged woman’s Even though he was crying, he couldn’t help but curse.
Xu Ju is the official speaker, and he always curses people.
And it’s all very tactful.
Hearing the words “shameless bitch” at this moment, if it were normal times, I would be angry.
But now it actually feels a little pleasant.
Perhaps these scoldings could alleviate a little of his inner guilt.
He wasn’t angry, he just moved forward.
When the people around him saw this scene, they naturally cursed a few more times.
As soon as it fell on his ears, there was an endless stream of curses.
But he didn’t care. Instead, he found it very pleasant and pleasant to listen to.
I wish more people would scold him.
But no more.
Because he had already walked to the middle-aged woman’s side.
Looking at the haggard and unrecognizable face in front of him, the innocent girl from back then could not help but appear in his mind.
For a moment, he was speechless.
After choking for a long time, I finally managed to say: “How have you been in these years?”
