Chapter 361: Refusing to Leave and Starting to Drive People Away (1)_1
nσvel.cøm Young Master Xue and Manager Song’s hopes were destined to be dashed. After Old Master Xue, the head of the Xue Family, sent away the Second-Class Steward from Duke Wu’an’s Mansion with a face full of cold sweat, he furiously summoned Young Master Xue to his study and harshly reprimanded him. Not only did he revoke all of Young Master Xue’s authority on the grounds of his lack of ability, but he also personally ordered Manager Gou, who was beaten half-dead, to be sent to the Government Office; furthermore, he sold Manager Gou’s family off to distant Mangzhou, hoping to appease the wrath of Young Master Yan from Duke Wu’an’s Mansion.
Young Master Xue returned to his courtyard with a gloomy expression and unleashed all his anger, which stemmed from losing his authority, onto Auntie Gou, who came sobbing and begging for mercy. If it weren’t for Manager Gou meddlesomely interfering, they would not have angered Young Master Yan. In the end, Young Master Xue, still considering his own flesh and blood, sent Auntie Gou off to his villa in the neighboring county, decreeing that she must not set foot in the Xue Family again.
Manager Song, upon receiving the news, rushed over. After hearing that Mo’s Fragrant Rice was backed by Young Master Yan from Duke Wu’an’s Mansion, he, too, broke out in a cold sweat, secretly relieved that he had only instigated the Zhang Family mother and son to cause trouble and had not yet taken the next step; otherwise, he would likely have met the same fate as Manager Gou.
The news that Young Master Xue’s hard-won power had been taken back by the Family Head did not sit well with Manager Song either. One’s rise brings glory to all, one’s fall brings ruin to all. He had climbed to his current position with great difficulty and had been valued by the future Family Head. Now, with this incident, Young Master Xue’s position was also shaken. It must be known that the Xue Family had more than one young master and not all were the legitimate sons.
After patiently consoling Young Master Xue, Manager Song returned to his residence full of worries.
It wasn’t long before Mo Erni learned of the developments and purposefully brought a well-made sachet to find Manager Song. Upon seeing him, she sweetly called out "Godfather," an appellation even more intimate than the one she used for her real father, Mo Yonglu.
