Chapter 108 World 2: Living on the Streets
Prince Rong sat alone in the ancestral hall, looking at the tablets of his ancestors and thinking for a long time.
He had originally intended to ignore Liu for a while, to wear down her temper. If he really didn't want to, why would he have allowed Xiao Rou'er to live in a house and tacitly allowed her to give Xiao Rou'er money?
If it weren't for her in his heart, if it weren't for the slightest bit of affection he still had for her, would Xiao Rouer have been expelled from the family tree?!
He couldn't let her down, couldn't let his beloved woman down, and couldn't let the Xiao family down.
But how could this happen? How could things have come to this? Everything was irreversible, all the good things had vanished, leaving only endless pain and regret...
"what?"
Xiao Rouer asked in a trembling voice, she felt like her world was collapsing.
Just now, she learned a heartbreaking news: her mother passed away, and her brother became mentally ill. All this happened so suddenly that she was caught off guard.
In just two days, Xiao Rouer lost the two most important people in her life.
Her mother had always been the pillar and support of her life, but now she had passed away suddenly; and her brother, although not originally smart, had become like this, which made her feel extremely painful and desperate.
She stood there blankly, tears streaming down her face unconsciously.
Her heart was filled with self-blame and regret. If she had not been so willful at that time and asked her mother to go back and beg the prince for help, if... perhaps things would not have developed to this point today.
But it was too late to say anything now, she could only endure it all silently.
"Okay, now you are no longer Miss Xiao, Xiao Yuanshan, oh no, you are Wang Yuanshan now. You are not the prince's children, so please move out of this house you live in as soon as possible!" Hong'er brought a group of people and threw Xiao Yuanshan in front of Xiao Rou'er.
"Impossible, I want to see the prince." Xiao Rouer still wanted to ask in person until the last moment, to find out how her mother died and where the grave was.
"The prince doesn't want to see you. That Wang Laizi has been beaten to death with sticks. It is a great favor from the prince to spare your life!" the guard shouted.
Another guard at the side echoed: "That's right, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit!"
The two men stood straight, with indifference and disdain on their faces, and their eyes swept across the brother and sister in front of them like knives.
As soon as Xiao Rouer heard Wang Laizi's name, everything she didn't understand became clear to her.
Xiao Yuanshan was so scared that he was shaking all over, while Xiao Rouer hugged her brother tightly, her face was as pale as paper, but there was a determination in her eyes.
She bit her lip and whispered, "Please have mercy... I..." Her voice was full of helplessness and despair.
"Stop talking nonsense with him and just do it!" a big man roared.
"Wait!"
Another person stopped him and said, "Ms. Xiao, you've seen it too. With so many of us, you're definitely no match for us. Be smart and move out now."
"Brothers, I know you are just following orders, but could you please let me stay a few more days for the sake of our past friendship?" Xiao Rouer said pleadingly.
"Hmph, past friendship?" The leading man sneered, "It's fine if you don't mention it, but it makes me angry! Back then, you relied on your status as the eldest daughter of the Xiao family to beat and scold us servants. Did you ever imagine this day would come?"
"That's right, who among us hasn't been beaten and scolded by you?" another person echoed.
"Dear brothers, it was all my fault before. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me. As long as you can let me continue to live here, I can give you money..." Xiao Rouer was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
"Humph, do you think we care about your dirty money?"
The leading man had a look of contempt and disdain on his face, and his voice was full of arrogance and provocation, as if he was mocking the other party's naivety and ignorance.
His eyes were cold and emotionless, and he seemed to have no respect for the person in front of him.
"I'm telling you, even if the Jade Emperor comes today, you have to move out!" His tone was firm and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.
This sentence was like a thunderclap, deafening and terrifying. His expression was serious and majestic, and people could not help but feel an invisible pressure.
"Okay, brothers, stop talking nonsense! Let's do it!" His voice was low and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Hong'er watched all this coldly. Lan had no intention of letting her go easy since she asked her to bring these people here.
"Wait! We can move it ourselves!"
Xiao Rouer's face was as pale as paper. She let go of Xiao Yuanshan's hand in panic and hurriedly spoke out to stop him.
Her voice was trembling and helpless, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.
However, her words had no effect.
Everyone's hands kept moving, and they continued to mercilessly throw Xiao Rouer's clothes, bedding and other belongings out of the door. These things flew in the air like withered petals, and finally scattered on the ground.
Seeing that there was really no way to stop it, Xiao Rouer ran back to her side and found the purse that Liu had given her and hid it against her chest.
Fortunately, it rained yesterday afternoon and she couldn't go out, so she just threw the silver on the side table.
Hong'er didn't bother to care what she was going to do. She just waved away the dust in front of her with a look of disgust.
"Okay, don't waste time. Hurry up and get these two people out, then lock the door and leave here." Hong'er rolled her eyes impatiently, then turned and walked out.
"Yes."
Now that the Lan family is in power and Hong'er is her confidante, everyone naturally wants to give her enough face.
"Go quickly!"
Without waiting for Xiao Rouer and the other person to react, several people pushed them out. Then the man in the lead made a "Pooh" sound and locked the door.
"Scared, scared, scared."
"Mom, where's Mom?"
Xiao Rouer looked at Xiao Yuanshan who was leaning against him with tears in her eyes and smiled helplessly.
"Mom, mom is gone!"
"Ahhhh!"
Xiao Rouer finally couldn't suppress the pain and grievance in her heart anymore, tears burst out like a dam breaking. She could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.
Xiao Yuanshan was frightened by his sister's reaction, but at the same time, the sadness in his heart was aroused, and tears flowed involuntarily. The brother and sister stood at the door, snuggling up to each other, crying bitterly.
Their cries were filled with despair and helplessness, as if they wanted to release all the pain.
People passing by cast puzzled and sympathetic glances at them. Some stopped to look at them, while others walked away silently, unwilling to disturb the heartbroken brother and sister.
Perhaps the two people's cries were too miserable, touching the mercy of God.
Suddenly, there was a loud thunder in the sky, and the deafening thunder made people terrified.
Immediately afterwards, heavy rain fell in an instant, and the raindrops as big as beans hit the ground, splashing water.
The rain quickly soaked Xiao Rouer and Xiao Yuanshan's bodies, but they seemed unconcerned and were still immersed in endless sorrow.
