Chapter 687 - The Wicked Would Be Opposed by the Wicked (2/2)

“Sure!”

Chu Shanhe nodded. On the way here, he had promised Uncle Weng that as long as he could persuade Chu Xuanyue to come back to the Chu family, he would not only stay as the housekeeper, but also would be given a great reward.

Chu Xuanyue knew what Uncle Weng was going to say to her in private, so she took him to the room next door. Uncle Weng said, “First Miss, this must be the young master. Can you bring him with you?”

“Of course.” Although she did not understand what Uncle Weng meant, Chu Xuanyue still asked Qin Haodong to go with them.

When they reached the next room and closed the door, Chu Xuanyue took Uncle Weng’s hand and said, “Uncle Weng, why haven’t you come to see me all these years?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Uncle Weng falling to his knees and saying to her and Qin Haodong, with tears in his eyes, “I am so sorry!”

Chu Xuanyue quickly helped him up and said, “Uncle Weng, what are you doing?”

Uncle Weng had guilt written all over his face and said, “These words have been suppressed in my heart for more than 20 years. Today, I must tell you, I was the one who stole the young master from you.”

“What? What did you say?”

Chu Xuanyue was shocked. Back then, she had left the room for a short while and when she came back, her son was gone.

Although she knew that it was the Chu family’s doing, she did not know who had done it. She did not expect it to be Uncle Weng, who had always doted on her.

Qin Haodong also frowned, but it was only appropriate for his mother to deal with this matter, so he did not say anything.

Uncle Weng continued, “Madame looked for me and she asked me to steal the young master and kill him. At first, I didn’t want to do it. You were so kind to me; how could I do that?”

“But later, I thought about it. If I didn’t do it, Madame would definitely find someone else. In that case, there would be no hope for the young master to live.”

“So I agreed, then secretly took the young master away and I then handed him to a relative to take him far away to Jiangnan City and find a good family to adopt him.”

“I did not dare to say anything about this. Later, I told the family master and Madame that I have already killed the young master. Originally, I wanted to keep this secret for the rest of my life, but I did not expect that the young master would return so openly to the capital today.”

“There is no need to hide my deed any longer. Otherwise, I will not feel at ease even if I am in the coffin. I came here today just to beg for your forgiveness.”

Qin Haodong’s expression eased a lot when he heard that.

In this way, not only was Uncle Weng not his enemy, but he was also his benefactor. If he had not taken him away and secretly found someone to keep him, he would have been killed by the Chu family.

Although Chu Xuanyue was shocked, she also thought of the key point. She took Uncle Weng’s hand and said, “Uncle Weng, it’s not your fault. On the contrary, we have to thank you for saving Haodong’s life. If it were not for you, we would not have been reunited today.”

“I don’t dare to take credit for this. Due to this matter, I have not been able to eat and sleep well all these years and I feel so sorry for you.”

“Today, I feel much better. Originally, I was going to leave the Chu family, but when I heard that they were going to visit you, I came along with the family master.”

“No matter if you want to beat me or scold me, or even kill me, I have no complaints at all.”

Chu Xuanyue said in surprise, “Uncle Weng, you have been in the Chu family for a lifetime. Where are you going?”

Uncle Weng sighed and said, “I was driven out of the Chu family by Madam today, but you don’t have to worry. I still have some savings all these years. I’m really tired and I’m not in good health. It’s good to find a place to retire.”

Chu Xuanyue frowned and asked, “Why did she drive you away?”

Uncle Weng said, “Miss, it doesn’t matter. You don’t have to ask.”

Qin Haodong immediately understood and said, “Is it because I didn’t die that the Chu family vented their anger on you?”

Chu Xuanyue asked with a gloomy face, “Uncle Weng, is that true?”

Seeing that Qin Haodong had already guessed the reason, Uncle Weng could only nod his head as a tacit admission.

Chu Xuanyue said angrily, “They have really gone too far. I’ll go and sort it out with them now.”

Uncle Weng hurriedly said, “Miss, please don’t. I don’t want this to affect your relationship with your father because of this.”

“And to be honest, I have had enough of living in a place like the Chu family, who are devoid of human feelings. In addition, my health has not been good these years. I often feel so much pain that I can’t get up. I really don’t want to go on like this anymore.”

Qin Haodong said, “Uncle Weng, Tang Sect has just been established. I’m in need of a capable housekeeper. Why don’t you come and work here? How much salary are they paying you? I’ll pay you five times more.”

Chu Xuanyue immediately said, “Yes, Uncle Weng. Please come over to our side.”

“Miss, although I also want to stay with you, to be honest, my body is really not strong anymore. I can’t do anything here and I will only be a burden to you.”

“After telling you everything, I don’t have any more burdens. Later, I will leave the capital and find a beautiful place to live for my retirement.”

Qin Haodong said, “Uncle Weng, you can’t go. You can stay in our Tang Sect.”

“Your health condition is just a minor problem. I’ll help you with it. You’ll soon be full of vigor and it won’t be a problem for you to find a wife.”

After saying that, he reached out and massaged Uncle Weng’s waist. After two cracking sounds, Uncle Weng’s bent back instantly straightened and he became much more energetic.
