"Dad, where is Lixian? Why haven't you seen Lixian?" Song Yi'an took the initiative to ask his second brother.

"He is working hard in his yard. He said he would study hard to study for the provincial examination. He hasn't left the yard for several days, but he is very diligent." Speaking of his second son, the head of the Song family couldn't help but smile on his face.

For young people, it is not a bad thing to experience some setbacks. After what happened last time, Lixian has become much calmer and has made progress. With his enthusiasm in studying, why worry about not passing the exam?

Studying behind closed doors? You feel guilty, right?

Song Yi'an curled up his lips again, feeling extremely ironic, "Dad, that uncle of the Ma family not only plotted against the Zhang family, but also plotted against our Song family. He sent news to the Zhang family, and also to our family.

Got the news.”

"He's looking for you?" The head of the Song family's expression became solemn, "When did it happen? Why didn't you come back and tell me? About this, I mean, the Ma family came to find you. Does anyone else know about it?"

"

Song Yi'an looked straight at his father and shook his head slowly, "No, the Ma family didn't come looking for me."

"You didn't come to me either. You made a mistake in this matter. After all, the Zhang family has an inspector who oversees hundreds of people. It is understandable that the Ma family would drag his family into trouble. What does our family have?

?They are all incompetent scholars. He looks down upon our family." The head of the Song family is very self-aware. The reason why the Song family can be called the "Four Families" together with the Ma, Yan, and Zhang families is because of the family members.

He was appointed as a civil servant. In terms of strength, the Song family was the weakest among the four.

"I'm not mistaken, the person the Ma family is looking for is not you, not me, but the second brother."

The head of the Song family's expression froze on his face, then he waved his hand, "This is impossible, your second brother is studying behind closed doors and has no contact with anyone outside at all."

"When did the second brother start studying behind closed doors? The day after the pirates entered the city, right?" Song Yian's eyes were full of ridicule.

"This..." The head of the Song family really didn't know when his second son started studying behind closed doors. He couldn't help but look at the boy at the door, "When did the second master start studying?"

When gods fight, mortals suffer. The young boy wished he could disappear on the spot. Faced with the unkind gaze of the master, he answered bravely, "Go back to me, on the day you say."

"Are you sure?" The head of the Song family didn't believe it.

The boy plopped down and knelt on the ground, "Slave, slave..." Should he say sure or not sure?

Song Yi'an smiled silently, "Father, please don't embarrass this slave. If you want to know if it's true, just ask your second brother? You tell him, don't think about lying. The Ma family, including the master and his slaves,

They are all being held in the county jail, and he doesn’t want to confront anyone, does he?”

"No, Yi'an, your second brother, there must be a misunderstanding here. He is young and doesn't know the importance..." The head of the Song family thought of the second son's behavior in the past few days and knew in his heart that what the eldest son said was probably true.

, but he still couldn't help but defend him.

"He is so weak!" Song Yi'an raised his voice loudly, "Dad, you always say that the second brother is smart, can he not understand the priorities of things? He knows! He knows everything! He just..."

Song Yi'an closed his eyes. He didn't want to think so badly of his biological brother, but human nature was complicated.

"Yi'an..." Seeing the eldest son's uncomfortable look, the head of the Song family opened his mouth, but did not say any words of comfort for a long time.

Although the eldest son is not very bright in studies and is not as good as the second son, other than that, he has always been very worry-free. Whether it is taking care of the family's property or dealing with the tribe, he does a good job. He has never seen

He looks like this!

Song Yi'an opened his eyes, his emotions calmed down completely, "Dad, could you help your son and ask his second brother, is he so fond of his own brother?"

After saying this, he turned around and walked out. He didn't know what unpleasant words he would say if he stayed any longer.

"Yi'an..." Looking at his son's back as he walked further and further away, the head of the Song family dropped his outstretched hand, "Sin, what a fucking mess this is!"

He only has two legitimate sons in total. How did the two brothers reach this point?

The head of the Song family thought about what the eldest son said, and his face darkened, "Go and see what the second master is doing? Call that evildoer over here."

"Slave, I obey." The young man was about to call someone when he was stopped by the Master of the Song family, "Forget it, I'll go by myself." For some reason, he suddenly had doubts in his heart. Was Lixian studying hard?

Song Lixian was really reading, but this book was not that book. He didn't read a page of the Four Books and Five Classics of the Eight Classics. Instead, he read a book of erotic words. The scholar won the gold medal in the imperial examination and fell in love with several beautiful women at first sight.

Sheng, the kind where the male protagonist has a harem.

However, the head of the Song family did not notice it. Why? Song Lixian received the news in advance.

As soon as the head of the Song family entered the courtyard, Yang Zuo, the boy sweeping the floor, recited the "Three Character Classic" loudly, "People are inherently good by nature, similar in nature, and distant in habits..."

When Song Lixian in the study heard this, he immediately changed his books and pretended to study hard. This man was indeed smart, but he used it in crooked ways.

】

The head of the Song family was very satisfied. A boy doing chores in Lixian's yard could recite articles, which showed that Lixian had taught him well. When he saw his second son sitting upright on the desk and writing hard, he was even more pleased.

The anger I felt before coming was half gone.

"Li Xian, where are you working hard? Dad won't bother you, right?" The head of the Song family said with a smile on his face.

"Dad, are you here? Are you okay?" Song Lixian seemed to have just seen his father.

The head of the Song family looked at him with a sad expression, "Lixian, you are so stupid! Why did you get involved with the Ma family? You should tell dad at least."

Did Dad know? Song Lixian's eyes were flustered, but he pretended to be calm, "Dad, what did you say? Why are you involved with the Ma family? Why can't I understand?"

The head of the Song family was at the bottom of his heart, and he was heartbroken, "Father already knows about the fact that the Ma family is looking for you. Lixian, why didn't you tell dad about such a big thing? How can the Ma family be so kind?"

"Dad, I..." Song Lixian panicked even more.

"You said you, you knew in advance that the pirates would come to the city. Even if you didn't tell your father, you should at least tell your eldest brother. He is in the Yamen. He is your biological eldest brother. Lixian...how did you become like this?

What?" The head of the Song family shouted in a low voice.

"Dad, I didn't, I didn't mean it." Song Lixian hurriedly defended, "I didn't take the news leaked by the Ma family seriously at first. That was the county government. How dare pirates? Later, pirates really entered the city.

, Dad, I’m scared, and I don’t even dare to say anything. Dad, I didn’t mean to harm my eldest brother. He is my biological eldest brother, how could I harm him? Dad, what I said is the truth, you have to believe me.

"He grabbed his father's arm, extremely anxious.

"Really?" The head of the Song family stared into his eyes.

Song Lixian nodded repeatedly with a sincere expression, "It's true! I dare to swear that if there is even half a lie, just call me..."

Halfway through the oath, his father covered his mouth and said angrily: "You kid, can you say the oath casually?"

Song Lixian heard the looseness in his tone, "Dad, do you believe me?"

The head of the Song family hummed, "Although you didn't mean it, you have to explain this to your brother in person. You are brothers, and you have to support each other and help each other, you know?"

Song Lixian nodded obediently, "Don't worry, I will apologize to my eldest brother properly."

The head of the Song family believed the second son's words. In his mind, how could his smart son who could read be such a vicious person?

"Now that things are clear, you can continue reading, and dad won't disturb you anymore."

As soon as the head of the Song family left, Song Lixian's straight back relaxed. Why was he anxious and uneasy? There was only strong anger in his eyes.
