Chapter 306 Go and invite someone over
Wei Rui was completely stunned.
He just thought Su Jixiang would try to resist him for a while, but who knew Su Jixiang would be so decisive.
He stared blankly at the tightly closed door, his heart feeling desolate.
Seeing Wei Rui in a daze, Wang tugged at her son's clothes and said, "Son, son, you are free now! Your indenture has been burned. Come back with me!"
Her face was full of joy. So what if it was the general's mansion? It was better not to consider her son's face!
"Go back?" Wei Rui's face finally showed a trace of cracks, "Where else can I go back to?"
"Go home!" Wang pulled Wei Rui's clothes and stood up tremblingly with the help of her eldest daughter-in-law. "Your dead father has gone to live with a widow. Now you are the only man in the family! Be obedient and go back with mother. Our whole family is counting on you!"
"Now you call me son? Didn't you only want money when we broke off the engagement before?" Wei Rui looked at Wang in a daze.
"Oh, that was all the money your useless father asked for. I didn't take a penny!" Wang said quickly, "Look at how badly your father beat me. I don't even have money to see a doctor. Be good, let's go home. It's better for us to be together as a family than for you to be a slave in this general's mansion!"
"But they never treated me as a slave!" Wei Rui murmured.
The words were spoken softly, and Wang Shi didn't understand. She looked at Wei Rui, "Son! Do you really not want me, your mother, anymore? What a sin I have committed!"
While pretending to cry, she winked at her grandchildren. Several children immediately gathered around Wei Rui, held his legs, and called him "Uncle".
Wei Rui finally sighed, supported his mother, and held the hand of a child, "Let's go! Stop crying in front of other people's doors. I'm afraid I will have nothing to do with this place anymore!"
"Let's go, let's go home!" Wang wiped her face with her sleeve and said with a smile, "Look, your last name is Nangong, not Wei! From now on, we should call you Nangong Rui!"
"I won't have the face to call you Wei Rui anymore." Nangong Rui sighed.
During these days in the Wei Mansion, he came to know what kind of person Su Jixiang was. If she really burned her indenture contract, then he would have nothing to do with the General's Mansion anymore!
In fact, everyone in this mansion listens to Su Jixiang. Even the general, whom he has always respected, listens to Madam Su Jixiang!
So Nangong Rui knew that he would probably have nothing to do with the General's Mansion anymore in the future.
Nangong Rui was forced to return home. As soon as he left the general's mansion with Wang and others, Lushui told Su Jixiang the news.
Lu Shui was full of indignation, "This Nangong Rui is such a bastard! He never thought about who helped him when he was desperate. If he hadn't met our Marquis in the mine before, he would have turned into dust now. Later, he gained the Marquis's trust in the military camp. When the Marquis went south, he was left in Mangcheng and entrusted with an important task. But he indulged his family members to do whatever they wanted and made a mess. It was the Madam who paid for him to settle his father's affairs. How could he not tell who was good to him? Why did he follow that woman back?"
"After all, she is his biological mother. It's normal that he can't let her go." Compared with Lu Shui, Su Jixiang was much calmer.
She crawled into bed again and yawned, "Hey, don't be so angry, anger is harmful to your health. We have done everything we should do for Nangong Rui. We also tried to help him, but he still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. Let him be. We have done our best and don't owe him anything. Everyone has their own choices. Some people like to roll in the mud, and you can't stop them. From now on, everyone will just treat this person as gone. Our General's Mansion has drawn a clear line between this person!"
"Yes. Of course we have no problem with that. The main thing is whether the general will feel regretful." Lu Shui lit the incense for Su Jixiang, and then asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry. The Marquis is not a fool. Everything has a limit. He knows what we have done. He won't feel sorry." Su Jixiang had not slept all night yesterday. She was so sleepy that even her eyelids were fighting. The last few words she spoke were getting lower and lower in her voice. When she finished the last word, she had fallen into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Lushui quietly lowered the curtain for Su Jixiang to block out the light, and then quietly went out.
The news that Nangong Rui's indenture contract was burned and he returned to the Nangong family soon reached Zhao Xiuwan's ears.
She suddenly felt a little restless sitting inside Hongyun Building.
The fact that Nangong Rui changed his name to Wei Rui and was bought into the General's Mansion by Su Jixiang was like a nail piercing Zhao Xiuwan's heart. She only hated that she didn't have as much money as Su Jixiang! Otherwise, how could Su Jixiang take action?
Now that this happened again, Zhao Xiuwan was a little eager to make a move. She wanted to recruit Nangong Rui to Hongyun Tower. But she was afraid that if she rashly went to the Nangong family, she would be blackmailed by the Nangong family's mother-in-law Wang.
So after much thought, she decided that the best candidate to recruit Nangong Rui was Qian Feng.
So she called the servant to go to the military camp and tell Qian Feng to come back.
It was rare for Zhao Xiuwan to summon Qian Feng home. When Qian Feng heard this, he immediately asked for leave and left the military camp directly.
"Madam, are you feeling unwell?" he asked anxiously as soon as he got home.
Because Zhao Xiuwan would never call him back on weekdays, Qian Feng thought that Zhao Xiuwan had some health problems.
"Why are you cursing me for no reason?" Zhao Xiuwan rolled her eyes at Qian Feng and said unhappily.
Qian Feng was used to Zhao Xiuwan's tone, so he didn't care at all.
"I'm glad that Madam is okay. Is there something urgent that Madam sent someone to call me?" Qian Feng asked.
Zhao Xiuwan couldn't stand Qian Feng being so timid in front of her, but when she thought that she had something to ask of him, she tried to soften her expression.
"Husband, I have something to discuss with you." Zhao Xiuwan softened her tone and briefly told Qian Feng about Nangong Rui's return home.
"I'm afraid he doesn't have a good place to go now. My building is short of a security guard." Zhao Xiuwan said, "Why don't you invite Nangong Rui over. First, it will give him a place to stay and he can get paid. Second, you can be a good help to your former brother. Others in the barracks will also say you are kind and righteous when they see you."
