Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

The voice outside the door sounded again, "Fourth Aunt, this Fourth Miss wants to come in no matter what. This old servant is here to stop her. Don't worry, Fourth Aunt."

"Why does she want to come in? Is this the place for her to be? Aunt Zhang, drag her away. Don't let what's happening here offend her."

After the woman finished speaking, the noise at the door gradually stopped.

This woman, the Fourth Aunt that the people outside had just called, seemed to be tired. She panted and sat on the chair behind her. She then said angrily, "Your mother has long told you to stay away from her, to stay away from her, but you just wouldn't listen. Now that you've caused such a scandal, how are you going to end it? You idiot? Speak up, speak up."

The young man was silent for a moment and then said, "My son has already said that he likes her, but you are against it, Auntie. You are against it and you won't let my son marry her no matter what. Even if my son wants to take her as a concubine, you still won't let him. What can my son do?"

Fourth Auntie widened her eyes and said, "So you think it's my fault? So, so, you did this shameful thing to avenge me, right?"

The young man retorted: "That's not what I meant. I just want to keep her by my side as a concubine, or as a maid. I just want to be with her."

"You want a maidservant, there are so many maids in the mansion, you can choose any one. Your mother has also told you that you can keep one or two women around you, whatever kind of woman you want, as long as it does not affect your studies. But you just don't listen and want her."

"What's wrong with her? She's so nice and considerate. My son doesn't want anyone else but her, but you won't listen and won't help me. I don't know what to do. I can only get married to her and never separate!"

"You, you, you want to piss me off to death, huh? Do you want to piss me off to death? I, I... Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang, bring me a knife, I will kill that bitch right away, Aunt Zhang..."

A woman's voice outside the door said anxiously, "Fourth Aunt, Aunt Zhang is on the way. She just sent the fourth young lady back to her boudoir."

"Okay, go to the kitchen and find a bigger knife. Rather than being drowned in other people's spit, it's better to deal with this scourge right now. Go!"

The boy suddenly became nervous and said, "Mother, what are you doing? Son, I won't let you hurt her."

"You are such a loser. The male members of our family are weak to begin with. Your eldest brother is older and can barely walk with the help of crutches, but he was also a young man who fought alongside your father on the battlefield and got a knife wound. He got this old wound while saving your father. Now he is in great glory. Your father originally hoped that the family could produce a civil servant, so he kept you at home for me to train well. I never thought that I would raise such a shameless person. Rather than letting the whole family die of shame, it is better to get rid of that scourge now."

After saying that, the fourth concubine glared at Zhou Xinyue with her eyes wide open, which made Zhou Xinyue's heart skip a beat.

Zhou Xinyue thought: Is she trying to kill me? I am in a daze and have not figured out what is going on. Is it possible that I will be killed for no reason today?

Thinking of this, Zhou Xinyue suddenly became nervous. Just as she was about to speak, the scarred boy in front of her suddenly picked up the broken pieces of the vase on the ground and put them on his throat. He said sadly, "If mother wants to kill Danmei today, then her son will not live either. Forget about all the fame and future."

Zhou Xinyue was shocked, and the girl next to her who had been too scared to speak was also shocked. The fourth aunt also looked at the boy in horror, her lips trembling slightly. She was stunned for a moment and said slowly: "Good, really good, this is the good son I taught. You bastard, why did I give birth to a useless bastard like you!"

As the fourth aunt spoke, she began to cry, and as she cried, she said, "You are the only hope of our family, you are my only hope, you are your father's only hope, is this how you repay your mother, son?"

At this time, an older woman came into the room, looking very panicked. She rushed between the mother and son and said, "Madam, please don't be angry with him. The second young master is young and hot-tempered. He has never experienced any emotional experience. He just acted on impulse. Please don't add fuel to the fire and provoke the second young master."

The fourth concubine looked at the old woman helplessly and said, "Auntie Zhang, my Wu family was one of the most prosperous families in Cangdu City when my grandfather was alive. Since my grandfather passed away, the Wu family has fallen into decline. If my father and the uncles of the Wu family were still alive, they would all be brave and capable. Since I gave birth to this rebellious son, I have seen that he has been weak since he was a child, and he is indeed not as strong as his eldest brother. In addition, the master really wanted to produce a civil servant in the family, so he invited many famous teachers to teach him, but he didn't expect to teach this useless thing. He wanted him to support the family and the Wu family, but now he has fallen into the hands of this bitch. I wish I could peel off her skin and drink her blood right now."

Aunt Zhang said nervously, "Absolutely not, absolutely not, Madam. Although the master and the mistress of the family asked you to take charge of some matters in the mansion now, you must not make your own decisions on such an important matter now. The mistress is on her way back now, and she will be back in less than three days. Although Goudan has not held a family initiation ceremony, she has been raised in the East Garden by the mistress since she was a child, and is raised in the name of the eldest house of the family. Madam, if you deal with her now, how will you explain to the mistress and the eldest master when they come back?"

The fourth concubine said with a fierce look in her eyes: "I said she was shameless and seduced Jin Lang."

Aunt Zhang said anxiously, "Madam, have you ever thought about this? Although Goudan is now a slave, and is only a slave in name, the family entry ceremony will be held next month. In the future, she will be the second young master's nominal sister. Although there is no blood relationship, once she is included in the family tree, she will be a young lady of the No. 1 family. If this matter gets out now, how will the second young master of the No. 1 family seek fame in the future? If it affects the reputation of the fourth young lady..."

When the Fourth Aunt heard this, she broke out in a cold sweat. She was so busy venting her anger that she completely forgot about the reputation of her two children, especially since Jinlang was the only healthy son in the family. The master and she both hoped that he would have a good reputation in the future. The eldest son of the family, Shilang, was old and had difficulty walking. Although he had obtained the position of deputy regiment historian of Cangdu South City, it was a relatively idle position. The family's hopes for the future were all pinned on Jinlang. If this matter was exposed and affected her son Jinlang's future, it would be too not worth it.

The Fourth Aunt was thinking in her heart that what's more, it must not affect her, the Fourth Miss Yu Han, who had not yet left the boudoir. If Han'er's reputation was affected by this incident, how could Han'er find a good husband in Cangdu City?

The invitations to the family joining ceremony had been sent out three months ago. All the distant relatives of the 銆 family and some prominent families in Cangdu were invited to attend. If this matter became known to everyone, the 銆 family would probably become the laughing stock of the entire capital, and the master's lifelong reputation would be ruined.

The fourth concubine closed her eyes instantly, put her right hand on the armrest, and kept touching her forehead with her hand, her mind full of thoughts.
