Chapter 18: Brother's birthday gift
Chapter 18 Brother’s Birthday Gift
"Young Master—"
The door of the study room was knocked, and the boy who was alone in the room opened the door from the inside. Apart from his own little servant, Ajiu, there was Liu Yi standing outside the door.
Xu Mingshi frowned slightly.
In the middle of the night, what did Liu Yi do with him?
"I have something very important, I have to talk to the son alone!" Although Liu Yi tried to suppress the anxious color at this time, the hands that held the bag tightly still showed extreme tension.
"Say something directly."
Liu Yi glanced at Ah Jiu embarrassedly.
Ajiu squinted at her unceremoniously—don’t want to distract him, what if it is intended to be unruly to his son? Although the son is only ten years old, his status is precious, and there are already a few little maids in the house who have begun to get in front of the son restlessly.
"Ajiu is a person I trust." Xu Mingshi suppressed the impatience in his heart, glanced at the baggage in Liu Yi's arms, frowned and asked, "Are you going to go far?"
"Yeah, I was going to find my mother..." Liu Yi couldn't care too much at once, so he could only stand in the same place and preach to him: "The son is afraid that I don't know yet. The girl has been very abnormal these few days, maybe. I've been sick for a long time, and I'm a little confused..."
Xu Mingshi's face didn't change much.
He also felt that Xu Mingyi was very abnormal these few days.
"I don't know if I listened to the words of someone with a motive, and suspected that her illness was caused by me!" Liu Yi said aggrieved, and his eyes were full of tears: "How can such a thing happen? ...I Growing up with her since she was a child, she knows her temper. Since she is suspicious of me this time, she must make a big fuss..."
Xu Mingshi was a little surprised.
Xu Mingyi suspects that her illness is related to Liu Yi?
"If she just made a fuss with me, I won't have to suffer... But today coincides with the grandfather's return home, and it is her birthday, and the family has always been unable to hold her back. I just heard some movement in the front yard. When people inquired, I realized that Aunt Ruan, who was closer to me on weekdays, was also involved!"
Liu Yi looked at the boy who had just turned ten years old in front of him, noticed the changes in his expression, and said in a timely manner: "The son is the grandson of the mansion. Last year he was wronged by the girl because you deliberately cut off her bowstring. I was severely punished by my wife... The son is the eldest grandson of the mansion, and he is still going to be punished for one or two unproven slanders from the girl, not to mention me... Especially this time when the girl’s illness is involved, I want to come to me even more. Can't escape easily."
said, almost crying.
"I know that the son is always kind-hearted, this time there is really no way to find the son—"
With tears on her face, she grabbed Xu Mingshi's arm, "...I just ask the son to let me escape tonight. I will leave the town government office tomorrow when I find a chance! When the truth comes to light, I will return. The mansion repays the son for his kindness in protecting him today!"
Repay?
That's not uncommon.
Xu Mingshi looked at the arm she was holding, and said thoughtfully: "To put it bluntly, you are just looking at the relationship between me and my sister. Knowing how dissatisfied I am with her is because she was wronged in the past. On my old account, I will also promise to help you this time."
Liu Yi's expression was slightly stagnant, but he quickly recovered.
She knew that Xu Mingshi was smarter than ordinary children.
But how clever is, who told Xu Mingyi to offend too many people on weekdays, even his brother is embarrassed in every possible way—
How Xu Mingshi and Xu Mingyi are tit-for-tat, and the disposition of a child the size of Xu Mingshi is clearer than anyone else.
For these years, she has been able to live well in Zhenguo Gongfu only by trying to figure out people's hearts and seeing people's winks.
"You said she suspects that you are going to kill her, and I do have a lot of suspicion with her..." Xu Mingshi whispered, still thinking in his eyes.
Liu Yi's eyes were faintly bright, and there was hope in his heart. He was about to say something, when he saw that the hesitation on the boy's face was replaced by firmness, and he muttered to himself: "If this is the case, I might as well take you. Go to her...so as to give her a step down."
"...?"
—Did she misheard it? !
Liu Yi was too late to respond, so he listened to Xu Mingshi turned his head and told the young man: "Ajiu, take people to the front yard!"
He is not a narrow-minded person. On the contrary, he has never really hated Xu Mingyi.
Even if I was really angry with her sometimes, but after a few days the anger disappeared, I still couldn’t help but want to be nice to her... He knew it was very unbelievable, but he couldn’t help it!
Besides...
He did indeed cut the bowstring, not Xu Mingyi's slander.
He had a quarrel with Xu Mingyi at the time, but he was out of breath, so he took her favorite bow and exhaled.
Later, I heard that she cried distressedly, and learned that it was left to her by her biological mother, and he felt very regretful in his heart.
In short, the contradiction between him and Xu Mingyi can never be blamed on just one person. It's just that after a long time of fighting and getting older, neither of them is willing to be soft.
And Xu Mingyi’s attitude has changed these days. He saw in his eyes, and vaguely felt that she was mostly ill, pretending to be confused to show him good—
She has done this step, he, the younger brother, has to respond a little bit to be decent!
Originally, he prepared her birthday gift, but he couldn’t deliver it when he came to him today. He was afraid that if she didn’t like it, or he misunderstood her so-called "show good", he would not be able to get off the stage after all. Everyone is a face-saving person.
It's better to treat Liu Yi half as a birthday gift to find out her true attitude.
Liu Yi, who had never expected that it would end in this way, was taken to the front yard like this.
Faced with everyone in the Xu family, she refused to admit that she had conspired with Nguyen.
only said that the medicine that he sent to Nguyen to aid in sleep was just out of good intentions, and I didn’t know that Nguyen had actually used this medicine to harm Xu Mingyi.
Even if Xu Mingyi singled out the loopholes and contradictory behavior in his words, he still refused to admit it.
At the end, or seeing the sophistry hopeless, he cried and moved out his father who died in battle, and kowtow to the Lord Zhenguo.
Cui sneered again and again: "In the past few years, the Government of Zhenguo has treated you with all kindness and justice. If your father is really sensible, under Jiuquan, learning about your kindness and revenge, I am afraid that he will have no face to intercede for you. "
The town’s father raised his hand to stop his daughter-in-law from talking down.
"Although your father was just an ordinary soldier in the army, but he was my Xu family army and died on the battlefield. That is a hero! For this alone, I should spare his descendants!"
