Chapter 944: The Young Marquis's Broken-Engagement Wife (Extra 2)
The Xu Family in the Secluded City (Part 2)
Xu Hong looked at his adopted son, then at Luoyue and Huier, and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it. If that's the case, then you can be brother and sister from now on! You can still have my surname, so I'll call you Xu Jia, and you can be Xu Hui!"
At this point, their family’s new identity was officially determined.
Although Huo Xu had faked his death before, because the Huo family incident had just happened not long ago, Luo Yue did not rush to arrange a new identity for him. She just said that he was her fiancé in the capital, and his name was A Xu.
Now, with Xu Hong's arrival, the result has been a perfect one.
Three people who are not related by blood have become each other's family.
Xu Hong is the father and the head of the Xu family. They were originally merchants in the capital, but now because of the opening of border trade, they came to Youcheng to do business.
Xu Jia is the eldest son of the family. He has known Luo Yue, the owner of Anyuetang, since his early years, and they are childhood sweethearts who grew up together.
However, things are unpredictable, and they missed each other for several years. Now they are finally together.
Xu Hui, the second daughter of the Xu family, had been married before and had a son, but that man died young and there was no one left in her husband's family. So during this migration, she followed her father and brother to settle in Youcheng so that they could take care of her.
This is the new identity of the three of them.
Xu Hong was very satisfied. Now he not only had a son and a daughter, but also a grandson.
The most important thing is that his stubborn son is also going to get married.
Although both the bride and groom are in their twenties, it does not prevent them from having children. I believe that in the near future, he will have a grandson. It makes me happy just thinking about it.
Three months after Xu Hong and his friends arrived in Youcheng, Xu Jia and Luo Yue officially got married.
Although she was married, Luoyue was still the shopkeeper of Anyuetang, and Xu Jia did not let her stay at home to take care of her husband and children.
Even when Luoyue became pregnant the following year, she became her assistant in managing the clinic.
Shangguan Ruojin discovered that Xu Jia was very good at logistics and personnel deployment, and after getting along with people, he could quickly understand the other person's temperament and personality and communicate with them in the most appropriate way.
Later, she introduced Xu Jia to her brother Shangguan Ruoyu.
Thirty years ago, Huo Xu, who had been a slave, was finally appointed as an eighth-rank official at the age of thirty after using his own name. Although he was only a minor official, he felt that his life was complete.
A Few Things About the Second Miss of the Xu Family
Huier believes that she has a bad life. When she was a child, her parents sold her to raise tuition for her younger brother.
Girls like them can sign short-term contracts of five or eight years, and when the working period is over, they can return home.
But Hui'er's parents were afraid that the money they got from selling her would be too little, so they forced her to sign a death contract - she would belong to the Marquis' Mansion all her life, and if she gave birth to children, the children would also be servants of the Mansion.
In the first few years after she arrived, she helped in the big kitchen. Because she was young, the woman in the kitchen had no children so she looked after her a little.
Later, when the old woman was old and was sent out of the house, she was afraid that Hui'er would not have a good life, so she asked someone to send her to Madam Huo's room to work as a maid.
During those years, when old Marquis Huo was still alive, the maids in the old lady's room all looked ordinary, so nothing major happened.
All the changes happened after the prince and his fiancée officially broke off their engagement.
Many people saw that the cousin who was staying with them could climb onto the bed, and they had inappropriate thoughts about it.
In the final analysis, it’s just the wealth that dazzles the eyes!
Now everyone knows that when the prince becomes lustful, he even forgets his childhood sweetheart, the princess' fiancée.
Old Madam Huo failed to stop these people's behavior one by one, but regardless of whether she succeeded or not, those people all ended up miserably.
The best outcome is to be sold to a brothel outside.
Hui'er was able to become Madam Huo's maid because an older sister who shared the same room with her imitated a dress that the princess once loved to wear. One night, the sister went out wearing it and never returned to the room.
The next morning, the sister took off her pants, pressed on a bench in the yard, and was beaten with fifty boards.
There wasn't a single piece of good flesh on her waist, buttocks, or back, all of which were beaten to pieces. Before she was dragged back to Hui'er and her room, the sister had breathed her last.
The blood on the ground stained the blue bricks in the yard red. She watched as the prince's long-time attendant, Huo Xu, had the floor scrubbed ten times before it was finally clean. But even so, every time Hui'er passed by there, she could still hear the sister's pleading for mercy, and the smell of blood lingered in her nose for a long time.
Three days later, Hui'er replaced her elder sister as the head maid.
