Chapter 13: Wu Qianxue

  "Over there!" pointed out Wu Xiaoye.

  Her face was still a bit red, how did her brother become so bad? He had previously taken advantage of the Beidou Riding Guard, and now he wanted to take advantage of his own little sister. However, this kind of brother was much better than before.

  Wu Ya didn't notice Wu Xiao Ye's change, even if he knew it wouldn't make a difference with his thick skin. He slowly rode in the direction she pointed, and nothing unusual happened along the way. They soon arrived at the Wu Manor, but the atmosphere there seemed somewhat strange at this time.

  "Who is it... Ah, Young Master Cliff and Miss, you're back."

  "Uncle Jing, what's going on?" Wu Xiaoye also felt something was off and immediately thought of something. Her face changed color as she hastily asked the uncle guarding the door.

  He glanced at Wu Yao lightly and said, "The proposal of the two family heads has been passed, and the Dugu family has also agreed. Since the Dugu family is going to move into our Wu family, it's natural to be on high alert in all directions. It's just that Young Master Ya and Miss Xia...

  He paused for a moment, and then said: "It is now under discussion."

  "What? Dugu's family actually agreed, and Auntie is... Brother, let's hurry up and leave."

  Wu Ya wasn't a fool either, although he didn't understand the specifics, but in an instant, he thought of a certain possibility, thinking of that unseen mother, hum, his heart didn't have too much fluctuation, yet vaguely could feel her bitterness.

  The Wu family home wasn't very big, and soon the two of them ran to the front hall...

  "No, I absolutely refuse. It was his family, the Dugu clan, that wronged my Wu clan first. What right do they have to ask Xiaoyan and Qianshuang to move out? This is not something to be discussed." Just as he stepped out of the hall, a thunderous voice shook with anger.

  "Big brother, you are the master of the house, the helmsman of the Wu family. How can you not position us well? The Wu family and the Dugu family, how do we compare? In their eyes, our wrongs are also wrong, our rights are also wrong. Moreover, did the Dugu family owe us anything? I dare not be certain, perhaps it was someone who first seduced the people of the Dugu family back then, leaving behind the bloodline of the Dugu family!"

  "Second brother, you..."

  "Did I say anything wrong? Who knows what happened back then, and the Dugu family was already being very kind, even giving this illegitimate child a chance to be legitimized. Unfortunately, our illegitimate child is not making an effort, can we blame others for that?" The second brother's voice was clearly sarcastic, and he continued: "Now that we've finally managed to get someone from the Dugu family to move into our Wu household, how could there be any mistakes? This is an opportunity for our Wu family to rise, are we going to let someone who's in the way stay in the family?"

  "Second brother, Qian Xue is your own sister!"

  "Uh, big brother misunderstood my meaning, I'm not saying that Qianxue is annoying, I'm saying that the Dugu family will find her annoying!" The second master laughed and said, even if someone outside heard it, they could feel the great sarcasm in his tone. "And what I mean is that we set up a small courtyard for them to live in outside of Yao Guang City, so that they can receive our care as well. How could I not consider brotherly love? Little sister, don't always be silent, you can also give your opinion!"

  "Whatever you say goes!"

  A cold voice echoed in the hall, with a tone of fatigue and numbness. Outside, Wuyue couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions rising from within herself, and this feeling didn't come from that obsession, that former master, but was born from her own self.

  "Master of the house, this opportunity cannot be missed, make a decision."

  "Ah, the arrival of the Dugu family is an honor for us. Who knows, they might even leave some gifts behind, which will have a great impact on the development and establishment of our Wu family. Don't hesitate."

  "When the time comes, we'll just give them some compensation, get a better house for the mother and son. Besides, people who are married off are like spilled water, Qianxue's children are all grown up now and can stand on their own too, it's also considered married off, we've already been kind and righteous to the extreme."

  Several somewhat hoarse voices also came out, and Wu Ya couldn't help but clench his fists.

  It's imaginable what state a weak woman would be in under such siege, and what's even more frightening is that she has no man to rely on, whether it's the scoundrel or her son who only cares about restoring his family honor.

  Listening to their words, combined with what Wu Xiao Ye had just said, Wu Ya already knew exactly what was going on between him and this mother. Thinking of the tragic fate of this mother, thinking that she still had to endure the attacks of such relatives, his anger surged up like boiling water, and he stepped into the main hall without hesitation. As expected, it was the scene he had imagined: a weak woman stood in the center, surrounded by big men, some with an air of indifference, others showing sympathy but not daring to speak out, some with cold smiles, and others looking embarrassed. When Wu Ya entered, no matter what expression they had, they all looked over at him.

  The only pair of eyes that didn't fall on him was the weak woman in the center, Wuyue's mother from this life. She hadn't inherited any memories and had no emotions to speak of, yet it was precisely because of this that Wuyue's heart felt even more moved.

  She was numb, what's the difference who came in?

  "Mother, let's go, don't mind these white-eyed wolves. We won't stay here, there are places that will keep us. Let's go to Beidou, even if I'm worthless and incompetent, I can still support you." Wu Yue walked behind Wu Qianxue and said solemnly.

  Wu Qianxue's body stiffened, and she turned her head back in an unbelievable manner. This was an extremely beautiful woman, but the numbness on her face made her lose her beauty. When she turned her head, there seemed to be a fleeting feeling of dissolution, and vaguely, one could see that Wu Yaolong had a few strands of hair similar to hers. However, they didn't look very much alike; it wasn't as if they were mother and son at first glance. Wu Yaolong looked at the woman who was supposed to be his mother in this life, thinking that it was impossible for things not to be complicated. The sudden appearance of a mother made him feel bewildered, having never known what a mother was like in his previous life. He also felt some anticipation.

  Just stood outside the door for a long time, apart from wanting to hear what's being said inside, the main thing is still trying to accept this fact, no matter if he admits it or not, after entering this body, he has already carried this mark.

  Even if it wasn't for those reasons, seeing a weak woman being bullied by a group of big men, how could he not stand up for her? He still had the identity of someone's son. No matter what he thought in his heart, at this moment, he had already taken a stand, standing in the center of the hall, facing the poor woman, and in his heart, that unshakeable conviction seemed to further solidify his stance.

  "Xiao Ya, you're back! What did you just say?" Wu Qianxue replied disbelievingly.

  "Yes, I'm back. Since we're not welcome to stay here as mother and son, let's leave then. I have hands and feet, I won't let you go hungry." Wu Cong smiled slightly and said calmly.

  Tears burst forth in an instant, and just as Wu Ya's words fell, she asked incredulously: "Is this true? You no longer want to reclaim the glory that belongs to the Dugu family, don't you want to return to that place again?"

  "Think, why should I think?" Wu Yao said: "I think the surname Wu is good enough, Dugu, let's leave it to others!"

  Zhang opened his mouth, and Wu Qianxue seemed to recognize her own son for the first time.

  The people around also opened their mouths, who doesn't know that this private son with the Dugu family bloodline has always wanted to make a name for himself, always wanting to take back the glory of the Dugu family, and even his mother didn't care, but now it sounds like he's talking about cats and dogs.

  "Mother, let's go!"

  "Uh, okay...okay..."

  Wu Ya also knew that Wu Qian Xue was unbelievable, but he wasn't afraid. After all, he was now "amnesiac", so as long as he acted like himself, everything would be fine, no matter how unreasonable the things he did were.

  "Wait!"

  Without looking at the big men around him, he helped Wu Qianxue up and was about to walk out the door when a voice came from above. Wu Yue knew that this must be the current head of the Wu family, Wu Xiaoye's father. Just now, he had been standing on Wu Qianxue's side and was her powerful backer. He slightly turned his head around, not knowing what to call him.

  "Xiao Ya, Qian Xue, don't go, I've already made up my mind. This is still your home, it's always been the Dugu family who owes us, owes Qian Xue, no need to leave because of this small matter." Perhaps moved by Xiao Ya's behavior, the master of the Wu household finally made a decision and said: "Besides, since they agreed to move into our Wu household, I estimate they don't know that our Wu household has their bloodline. As long as everyone doesn't mention it, nothing will happen."
