Chapter 37 In terms of beauty, Liu is indeed no match for Yuan Shao
After Xun Shuang returned home with resentment, he went directly to Xun Le's room and announced with a livid face that he would give Xun Le his freedom.
"Our general doesn't like you. Le, my father will no longer interfere in your marriage. You can choose whoever you want. My father has no idea anymore."
After saying that, Xun Shuang slammed the door and walked out.
Xun Le looked at his old father who was so angry in surprise, feeling surprised in his heart.
Although she does not think that the Xun family is a great and honorable family, she also agrees with the Xun family's extremely high social status. As the legitimate daughter of the Xun family, isn't it not honorable enough to stoop down to be a concubine?
Or is it that General Liu was angry about what happened before, so he rejected Xun?
This is really interesting.
After thinking about it, Xun Le had a smile on his face.
It's really great that General Liu can let this seemingly kind but actually arbitrary father feel the feeling of rejection. It's great.
Although they are biological father and daughter, although she also cares about this old father, Xun Le expressed that she is very happy to be able to let this old father enjoy the taste of being rejected and feel devastated.
This was something she had always wanted to do but had never been able to do. She felt that this old father should be punished. Otherwise, she would be really sorry for her poor sister.
Xun Shuang was frustrated by Liu Bei and felt angry in his heart. Of course, he could not swallow this anger on his own. As the head of the family, he must find someone to vent his anger.
So who is lucky enough to be this unlucky punching bag?
Xun You.
"Lucky guy" Xun You was called to his house by Xun Shuang and asked him a question directly.
"You, that day you came to me to talk about your marriage to Liu. At that time, did you already know about the rebellion of the Yuan family and the He family?"
"yes."
Xun You's face was calm, without any disturbance or anything to hide.
Xun Shuang took a deep breath, unable to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Xun You remained expressionless.
"It's a very important matter. You are not under the monarch's command. I cannot tell anyone about that matter without the monarch's permission, otherwise it will be detrimental to the monarch."
"But I am your elder!!!"
Xun Shuang's eyes widened and he said angrily: "How could you hide this kind of information that is vital to the family from me? Do you know how much damage this will cause to the family? If you tell me, I will definitely be able to
Make the best decision!"
"If you can still make the right decision without telling you, then it's probably the right behavior."
Xun You said expressionlessly: "This matter is confidential and involves a lot. We really cannot disclose it to outsiders. Please forgive me."
"outsider?"
Xun Shuang pointed at himself: "You said I am an outsider? You, do you still see me as an elder in your eyes? Do you still have the Xun family in your heart? Don't forget your last name!"
"If I didn't have you in my eyes and the Xun family in my heart, would I have met you at that time and given you such advice?"
Xun You raised his head and looked directly at Xun Shuang: "I have made suggestions to you more than once, probably three times. Each time, it can prove that I have you in my eyes and the Xun family in my heart. I sincerely
It’s for family consideration, but you are unwilling to accept my suggestion, may I ask, am I wrong?”
"Of course you are wrong! You should have told me that the Yuan family was going to rebel! Then I could make a decision immediately! Not like this!"
Xun Shuang became angry from shame.
He knew that he had indeed made a mistake, and he also knew that there were many things that he had not thought of. He also knew that Xun You tried his best to persuade him three times and tried his best every time.
But as a patriarch, he cannot allow a clan member to openly question his authority and correctness in front of him.
This made him very embarrassed.
The head of the family, like the emperor, cannot admit mistakes in front of the clan members. Even if there are mistakes, just know them in your heart and cannot admit them. Otherwise, you will lose authority.
Therefore, he must rebuke Xun You loudly.
"Do you think you will lose sight of your family if you surrender to Liu Bei? Do you know that your behavior is the same as treason?!"
"Traitor? I gave you correct advice and upheld the effectiveness of the Shangguan. These two correct things combined, do you think it is traitorous?"
There was a heavy look of disappointment in Xun You's eyes.
"The Eight Dragons of the Xun family have unparalleled kindness and wisdom. Like everyone in the family and the outside world, I thought so. I thought you were wise and could lead the family forward, but now, I can't
If you think so, you are wrong."
"I was wrong?"
Xun Shuang's eyes widened and he glared at Xun You: "Over the years, the Xun family has faced so many dangers, and I have supported the Xun family to keep going! Without me, the Xun family would have been destroyed long ago! And you.
!Without me helping you connect the dots, do you think you could become Liu Bei's subordinate?"
"You have made great achievements, and I have no objection. However, you did make mistakes in this matter, and you must admit it."
Xun You shook his head and said slowly: "How can people not make mistakes? Even the prince has made mistakes, but the difference between the prince and you is that he is willing to admit his mistakes, and he will not compare himself to his status.
I'm tall, so you won't admit your mistakes to me.
He admits his mistakes, will admit them in public, and announces corrective measures. He never avoids his mistakes. This is the reason why the monarch can achieve great success. I think this may also be the reason why the ancestors of the Xun family can build such a big family.
And now, can you still stick to this approach and continue to succeed the Xun family? It is obviously a mistake, but you can't admit it or correct it. This is not a good thing for you and the Xun family. I feel very sorry for you and the Xun family.
The family is worried."
"Are you lecturing me?!"
Xun Shuang couldn't listen to these words anymore and said angrily: "Okay, you, you think your wings will be hardened if you follow Liu Bei, right? You can do whatever you want without taking the family seriously, right? There is no family to train you.
, without you today, without the family to back you up, Liu Bei wouldn’t care about you! Everything you get is because of the family! It’s because of me!”
"well……"
Xun You only felt sad and helpless.
Who can not feel sentimental when seeing an elder whom they have admired since childhood showing such an expression in front of them?
Xun You was ready to leave.
But Xun Shuang still didn't intend to let him go.
"You leave here today and don't go back to your ancestral home again! The Xun family will no longer have a place for you, Xun You!"
Xun You paused, then stepped forward resolutely and walked out of Xun Shuang's house.
Really gone?
Where is my authority as the head of the family in front of you?!
Xun Shuang was so angry that the two things combined made him furious at home, and no one could persuade him.
Xun Su heard that Xun Shuang was furious at home, so he quickly found Xun Shuang and told him not to continue to be angry and not to bring his personal emotions to official duties, otherwise it would not be good for Xun.
But how could Xun Shuang endure it?
"Liu Bei! Xun You! Who are they? Ah? One is just a poor settler on the border! The other is just an arrogant person under the wings of the family! How dare they reject me! How dare they resist me!"
Being alone with his brothers, Xun Shuang completely tore off all disguises and exposed his true self in front of his brothers.
He angrily poured out his resentment and dissatisfaction.
Xun Su wanted to stop him from getting too angry.
"Brother, you are not young anymore. You can't get angry. You have to calm down, otherwise you may get angry and damage your body!"
"I don't care! Liu Bei must have ordered Xun You to do this! It must be Liu Bei! Liu Bei wants to be my enemy! How noble is my Xun family? How dare he not take his direct daughter as a concubine? Where did he get the courage? Where?
I can’t figure it out! I can’t figure it out!”
Xun Shuang blushed and said angrily: "What did Zhong or Chen promise to him? Is he planning to replace me with Zhong and Chen? Ungrateful! Shameless! I, Xun, helped him.
So many! So many! He actually...he actually dared...dare..."
The furious Xun Shuang's expression suddenly changed, he staggered a few times, closed his eyes, and fainted.
"Brother!"
Xun Su quickly stepped forward to support Xun Shuang.
Fortunately, Xun Su was nearby and helped Xun Shuang in time. If he had fallen, the sixty-year-old man might have died on the spot.
