Chapter 34: Xu Ling Yue: In this life, I want to repay my big brother.

PS: I’m actually panicking a little bit because I’ve completely exhausted my savings as of today. From now on, I’ll have to code every day now. Although I’ve been idle for half a year, I’ve been writing extras. Then I stopped writing the extras, and I’ve been working on the worldview and characterization. The beginning of the writing waste tens of thousands of words.

By the time it hits the shelves, I’ll pay back the allies’ raise day by day, but don’t count on the shelves exploding.

No lie, after all, more shifts means more subscriptions, not for nothing, who doesn’t want more cha money, right?

……

The aunt was frantically dissing her nephew when she heard the butler’s shout and raised her voice in response, “If you’re back, you’re back, and you want me to go greet you?”

The housekeeper stomped his feet anxiously, “Ma’am, there are blood stains on Sister Suzaku, Miss Ling Yue seems to have just cried, the Master and Erlang’s faces also look ugly, and also, Dailang didn’t come back, something must have happened.”

There was a “ping-pong” sound in the room, as if something had been knocked over, followed by the concerned voices of the maids: “Madam…”

“Go away!” The aunt, lifting her skirts, rushed out, her face anxious as she ran toward the front room.

The aunt ran back to the front room in a frenzy, her eyes brimming with tears, and was almost ready to cry out when she saw her husband’s face stony-faced as he held his infant daughter, who was unconscious.

“It’s fine, just fell asleep.” Xu Pingzhi said a word in advance to stabilize her mood, incidentally handing his infant daughter to his wife:

“You send her to her room to sleep.”

The aunt hugged her daughter tightly and scrutinized her eldest daughter a few times to make sure she was okay, relieved, but didn’t go away, with a sob, “What happened, a trip out, how did this happen.”

Xu Lingyue instantly cried again.

Xu Pingzhi exhaled and told his wife everything that had happened this morning.

When the aunt heard that Xu Lingyue had been molested by the evil young man, her willow eyebrows rose in anger. When she heard that Xu Lingyue was almost trampled by the hooves of a horse, her face turned pale and she hugged her youngest daughter tightly, fearing that she would be lost.

She froze when she learned that it was Xu Qi’an who had saved her two daughters and was injured as a result.

Once she heard again that her nephew had been taken to the Ministry of Justice, she tugged on her husband’s hand in death and lost her color: “Ning Banquet…he, he ….”

“It’s okay, he’s out. This matter is considered settled for now.” Xu Pingzhi patted his wife’s hand and comforted her.

“Look, if it wasn’t for Ning Banquet this time, Ling Yue and Suzume would have been in danger. He’s a bit stubborn, but he treats his family well… If he were an ordinary person, would he be able to work so hard for our daughter?”

“You’re always looking at him in a bad way, thinking that he’s spending a lot of silver on martial arts training, thinking that it’s okay to pull him up and say a few words about him, thinking that he’s talking out of turn and always going against you.”

“But have you thought about him? Is twenty years of living under a roof really that good? Doesn’t he have a sensitive heart?”

“Women are just shallow-eyed, preferring neutral words but not looking at what people do. When Ling Yue was bullied, he was able to rush up and fight for his life. Luckily this time there was a scare, if Ning Yan really can’t come back, you really aren’t heartbroken?”

As Xu Ling Yue listened, her tears flowed down again, sobbing uncontrollably. Feeling that she had to repay her big brother in this life.

“I ….” Auntie sniffled, looking down and hyperventilating.

Xu New Year looked at his mother, who had always been strong, but now her eyes were filled with fear and remorse, and her heart moved.

Although she always called him “gold swallowing beast” and “unlucky goods”, in fact, her mother always put her elder brother at ease.

After all, after nearly twenty years of raising them, they have grown attached.

Xu Pingzhi looked at his son and grunted again, “Instead of your son accompanying him, this time it’s unlikely that even he will be captured and bullied together.”

Heojiro: “????”

….

After handing her youngest daughter over to the maids in the mansion who specialize in caring for her, and placating her eldest daughter, the aunt returned to the house with a heavy heart.

She swept her eyes at the maids and maids-in-law who were rushing to make the winter coats, and suddenly said, “Green E, reduce the winter coats of the Master and Erlang by one each, and when Dailang comes back, measure his size.”

Green E looked up in surprise and disbelief, “Madame has changed her mind?”

The aunt grunted, “Do I look like the kind of mean aunt to you?”

You are ah …. A room full of maids and maids thought this in their hearts at the same time.

……

Xu Qi’an left Stargazer House and rented a carriage on the street, taking an hour to return to the Xu Mansion.

While boiling hot water for a bath, I noticed that the injury on my back was nearly healed.

He applied some gold sores to himself, returned to his room, sharpened his ink, wrote a few hundred words on chemistry, and, as is customary, began to write in his diary again.

“November 16th, it was a day to remember, because I finally decided that, giving up the plain and boring life of a rich man, I needed power, I needed force, and for that, I had two ideas:

One, change my cultivation route and follow the Confucian path. As long as I lick the two great Confucians comfortably, I believe they will support me wholeheartedly. It’s much better than crawling through the martial path on my own.

Hey, when other people cross over, they use poetry to pretend, while I use poetry to make deals. Maybe that’s what makes Euro Emperor different.

Second, try a hand, the Secretary for Heavenly Supervision of the Caiwei girl hooked up with the bed sheet, with the Supervisor of the Lord backing, I even if I do not try hard, but also can live a nourishing and moist.

Third, sell one of the magic weapons obtained by the Szeto in exchange for the chance to open the Heavenly Gate.

The downside of the first idea is the recollection of the fear of being dominated by my senior year of high school again, when I may not be book material. I’m about to turn twenty, and it’s a little late to switch practice routes.

The downside of the second idea is that I might say goodbye to the life of three wives and four concubines and the cozy life of listening to music on the hook, which is a bit of a big sacrifice.

The third idea, the disadvantage is that the Qi Practicing Realm is still unable to defeat the Minister of the Household. Moreover, without a backer, it would be difficult to continue to advance courageously on the path of martial arts, and the fact that Second Uncle had been stuck at the peak of qi cultivation for nearly ten years was the best example of this.

For the time being, let’s hold on to the thighs of the Si Tian Supervisor and Cloud Deer Academy before planning for a follow-up, I have a hunch that the fiasco over the tax and silver case won’t end here.”

…..

Xu Mansion, front hall.

At dusk, Xu Qi’an went over the wall to the second uncle’s house next door to finish his meal, and in the yard of the front room, he saw Xu Suoyin with a shaky horse stance, her small fists beating left and right, and hee hee ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho to his own dubs.

She wore a small, lotus-colored dress, wrapped like a dumpling, and her head was tied in a conch bun reserved for young children.

“What are you pumping for?” Xu Qi’an gently kicked her on her small buttocks.

Dot snapped and fell.

“I’m practicing martial arts ah.” Xu Lingyin climbed up, inserting her waist and holding out her round little belly, very dissatisfied with her big brother’s sneak attack, her little eyebrows raised upside down, “Big brother are you provoking me.”

Probably because of what she had experienced in the morning, which had cast a shadow on her young mind, the five-year-old felt that she should learn martial arts.

“I am.” Xu Qi’an said.

“Father says that people fight for their lives, and so do martial artists. It’s called…Zun …. Zun ….”

“Dignity?”

“Uh-huh!” Xu Lingyin nodded her head vigorously first, then looked at her big brother angrily, “I’m going to fight you.”

She ran over on her two short legs, wailing and waving her fists.

Xu Qi’an pressed one hand on her head, and Little DouDing was in a big hurry, wailing and wailing as she thrashed around with her kingly fists.

But how can you not hit the big brother.

Her little face twisted into a frown of impatience.

Xu Qi’an suspected that she was annoying and negotiated, “Here’s a chicken leg for you, count it as a loss.”

“Okay ah.” Xu Lingyin really didn’t fight the king’s fists anymore, and she had a delighted look on her face.

“Where is your dignity?”

“Big brother, what is dignity.”

“…. Promising.”

Taking the little doudouneau into the hall, it was not long before the feast began, and the dinner was very sumptuous, as if it were a festival.

The maids and maids-in-law intentionally or unintentionally placed the best dishes in front of Xu Qi’an, he couldn’t help but look at his aunt, who wore a dress embroidered with a dark flower pattern, her face was exquisite, her pair of watery eyes with thick eyelashes, containing the unique flavor of a woman, just like a plump begonia flower.

As always, she had a high and cool demeanor, as if what Xu Qi’an had done today was just a trivial matter.

But without her authorization, the grannies wouldn’t have dared to treat Xu Dalang so favorably.

Xu Ling Yue ate with small chopsticks, finally mustering up enough courage, she said, “Brother, Mother is making winter clothes for her family again, I’ll measure you later, I, I want to make them for brother with my own hands.”

Sister changed a rather gorgeous dress, dress embroidered with burning lotus flowers, goose-yellow cloak complex cloud pattern, her age is only sixteen or seventeen years old, this kind of colorful dress, set off by the delicate and delicate face, instead of through an incomprehension of the world’s rosy.

“Okay, okay well…” Xu Ling Yue was thin-skinned, and when she saw that he didn’t say anything, she lowered her head with a red face.

It’s still the sister of this era who is good and knows how to make clothes for her brother. Unlike my former cousin, who could only be described with the word ‘huh’, Xu Qi’an nodded, “Thank you.”

Xu Ling Yue smiled sweetly, mirroring her aunt at her side.

Xu Qi’an withdrew his gaze and said, “Second uncle, Er Lang, go to the study after dinner, I have something to say to you.”

……

Study!

After serving three cups of hot tea, Green E excused herself and left.

Xu Qi’an picked up her teacup and moistened her throat, once again lamenting the fact that food without MSG always felt like it was missing something.

“What do you guys think about what happened this afternoon?” Xu Qi’an opened the door to seek the opinions of his second uncle and cousin.

Aren t things already in the past …. Uncle Xu Erwei’s face was a bit bewildered.

Xu New Year frowned, “Are you trying to say that that Mr. Zhou might still retaliate?”

The son of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who had fallen at the hands of a small Xuyun official, would surely not rest in peace.

Uncle Xu waved his hand, “No, no, if it were usual, it would be just that, but today there are great scholars from the Cloud Deer Academy, as well as the white clothes of the Heavenly Superintendent of Justice, so I don’t think that Zhou would dare to stir up the wind and rain.”

It’s right to think that way, it makes sense.

It is not uncommon for government officials to prey on the people, but when it comes to officialdom or major powers, they become quite cautious.

Half of it is from childhood, and even the most unscrupulous government officials know that the capital city is deep. The other half is from the father’s warning.

Xu New Year shook his head, “Father, since Big Brother said that, there must be a reason.”

He looked to Xu Qi’an.

Xu Qi’an said in a deep voice, “I just got a message today from the Si Tian Supervisor that the mastermind behind the tax and silver case is Servant Zhou.”
