The heroine is so cute, she quickly puts on her clothes and lies down

Chapter 123 Confiscation of property and exile 16

In ancient times, when someone died in a family, people would keep the coffin in the house instead of burying the body.

The ancients kept the coffin for the purpose of letting their loved ones pass away peacefully. Generally, when the coffin was kept, people would bathe and change clothes for the body to ensure that it could be clean and comfortable before reincarnation. More importantly, people often looked for a Feng Shui treasure land suitable for building a tomb for the deceased during the period of keeping the coffin, so that it could bless the family to prosper and the descendants to be rich and prosperous.

Before the old lady left, she only saw Zhu Yin. She looked at his face and murmured to herself, repeating one sentence: "My husband, I can finally go to see you."

Zhu Yin had no impression of his grandfather, but when he saw the anticipation of death on his grandmother's face, the sadness in his heart dissipated a lot unconsciously.

Perhaps, death was what my grandmother had always wanted.

The mourning lasted for seven days and only ended after the burial.

Days passed, and half a year went by. I noticed Mr. Zhu's changing attitude and eyes, and I no longer felt comfortable staying in this mansion.

Zhu Yue prepared to leave.

She secretly arranged two carriages, one for her and Zhu Wan and Zhu Yin, and one for Bai Lu and Dong Xi. The drivers hired two grooms. Qiu Yu also made arrangements in advance, giving her a sum of money and her indenture.

Late one night, he quietly took Zhu Yin and Zhu Wan away.

Inside the carriage.

Zhu Wan's heart was beating very fast. She said in panic, "If we leave like this, will Second Uncle and Dad come to catch us and take us back?"

Zhu Yin was very calm. "No, Second Uncle doesn't care about us."

Zhu Wan also smiled softly. "Sister, don't worry, he doesn't have the time to cause trouble for us. Now is the critical moment for the Second Prince, he doesn't even have time to show off his achievements."

"Where are we going?" As time went by, Zhu Wan unconsciously became accustomed to following Zhu Yue's decisions, mainly because her second sister had done what she had said so far.

Zhu Yue did not answer immediately. She looked at Zhu Yin.

"I thought you would stay."

More than two years have passed, and the relationship between the two is not as good as when Zhu Yue first came.

The reasons are complicated, but to sum it up, Zhu Yue discovered that her brother was gradually becoming the type of man she hated the most in such an ancient patriarchal environment.

After the positions of the first and second wives in the Zhu family were reversed, Zhu Yin's treatment declined in all aspects. I believe he himself has a deep understanding of this. When the old lady was still alive, he could barely be on equal footing with Zhu Kun. After the old lady passed away, he could not even flatter Zhu Kun as much as she did.

When the Zhu family was still a marquisate, he was already ten years old when he became the heir of the marquisate. He understood everything that he should understand at this age. In ancient times, no one would regard a ten-year-old boy as a child. He would start his enlightenment at the age of three or five at the latest.

When he couldn't keep his composure, he was used to taking his anger out on people who were weaker than himself. Once, Zhu Yue went to the study to see him and saw him throw a teacup at the maid's head, causing her head to bleed. After that, she lost the desire to say anything more to this person.

The servants in the Third Young Master's room were always covered in wounds. Zhu Wan had tried to persuade them, but to no avail.

He ended up hitting in an invisible position.

Zhu Yue was too lazy to think about the reasons why he became bad. It was nothing more than being forced by others. Zhu Kun put too much pressure on him.

She watched coldly as usual and analyzed carefully. Given his current suicidal behavior, could he still complete the mission of protection?

If the oppressed servants want to kill him in the future, will she turn a blind eye and watch them die, or will she aid and abet them and protect him for the mission points?

I don't feel happy about choosing any one of them.

The one who is now cleaning up the mess for Zhu Yin is Zhu Wan. She has reduced the original twelve servants serving Zhu Yin to two. These two are both taciturn and never talk much. She also only lets them serve outside and no one is allowed to get close to the young master.

The situation may have improved, or perhaps he saw Zhu Yue's indifference towards him, and Zhu Wan's gradually accumulating disappointment in him.

Perhaps because he knows how to treat his sister well, he is always very well behaved when facing his sister.

Whenever Zhu Yue saw him, many other people with the same characteristics and personalities would flash through her mind. This kind of people have zero ability to withstand adversity. It is not noticeable when the situation is stable and they are living a good life, but if there is a slight storm, they will lose the courage to start over and their personalities will change drastically.

"I want to be with my sisters. No one really cares about me except you."

Zhu Wan's eyes sparkled with tears. Zhu Yue just looked at him and continued to ask: "If you stay with us, all the Four Books and Five Classics you learned will be in vain. No one will serve you anymore. Is that okay?"

Zhu Yin lowered his eyes in dejection. At that moment, no one could see the look in his eyes. They could only feel his gloomy mood.

"Staying home would leave me with no better outcome than this."

"No, it's different." Zhu Yue looked at him. "Compared to the outside world, the grievances you suffered at home are nothing. If you don't leave home, you will always be the only legitimate son of the Zhu family in the eyes of others. There is also the family property left to you by your grandmother. If you go with us, it has nothing to do with you. Are you willing to give it to your second uncle and others?"

Zhu Yin finally raised his eyes, and at this moment, there was a pleading look in his eyes. He said, "Second sister, don't you want to take me away?"

Zhu Wan, who was listening, shook her head subconsciously, "How is that possible?"

Zhu Yue did not refute his words. After a pause, she said, "I don't understand why you follow me. I'm obviously not good to you at all."

Indeed, Zhu Yue's attitude towards Zhu Yin was getting worse and worse. She would not beat him back for the servant who was beaten, but she never looked at him straight in the eye again.

The difference in attitude before and after was very obvious. After Zhu Yin discovered this, he changed from his initial indifference, thinking that his two sisters would obey him. They were just a few slaves. Would they side with those servants instead of him, their own brother?

But Zhu Yue was definitely not on his side at all.

They didn't spend much time together to begin with. Even in the original owner's memory, the one with whom she had a good relationship was her elder sister Zhu Wan. Zhu Yin was the old lady's lifeblood, so they had to do it secretly if they wanted to see each other.

For Zhu Yue, she would not really regard the original owner's brother as her own biological brother, but just a mission target.

This mission objective is off track, what should I do?

go with him.

It’s just that the older sister persona that I thought was necessary to maintain before doesn’t need to be maintained anymore. It’s not worth it for something like this.

Look again, if it grows crooked and cannot be straightened, just give up and protect Zhu Wan to get the minimum living allowance.

Zhu Yue is here to complete the mission, not to be a mother. She doesn't consider teaching the child. Besides, the child is in his teens and his basic world view has been formed. He is no longer a child but a teenager.

It's a thankless task and the points earned are not worth it.

Zhu Wan herself didn't care too much about what Zhu Yin did. She felt that her brother was just out of control because he felt wronged. What young master hadn't beaten a few servants? It was too common. Her ex-husband had beaten many servants to death. In Zhu Wan's eyes, that kind of thing was "somewhat" cruel and disgraceful and needed to be dealt with.

Zhu Wan is like this, not to mention Zhu Yin.

Later, I discovered clues from Zhu Yue's attitude. I gradually found that my sister was becoming more and more impatient with my brother and no longer cared about his affairs.

Zhu Wancai began to clean up the mess and tried to correct Zhu Yin.
