The brother and sister walked and talked, and soon arrived at Chunxi Residence.
The maids, servants, and servants of Chunxi Residence have been waiting for a long time. Headed by Xie Ying and Xie Fang respectively, they stood in two rows waiting at the gate. The formation was as solemn as if they were welcoming some important person.
Xia Houshu couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "This is too exaggerated!"
Xia Houyi didn't seem to see it, and just waved his hand, indicating to the eager Xie Ying and Xie Fang to take the Fu family brothers to settle down first.
According to Xia Houyi, the Fu family brothers were his fellow juniors and direct disciples of Taoist Lingqiu, so he discussed with his mother as soon as he came back and planned to pack up the two wing rooms in Chunxi Residence for them to live in.
All food and beverages are also provided according to VIP standards.
Xie Ying and Xie Fang felt a little disappointed at Xia Houyi's lukewarm reaction, but this emotion only flashed across their faces, and then they politely and thoughtfully took the Fu brothers to the wing to settle down.
The other people also dispersed very wisely.
Xia Houshu was sighing at the good manners of Xueying and Xiefang, and followed his brother into the main house of Chunxi's residence. Although the owner had been homeless for more than two months, the house was maintained by Xueying and the others, and everything was clean and dust-free.
, even the pots of orchids on the flower table are clean, refreshing, and have a faint fragrance.
She couldn't help but say sourly: "It's so irritating that people are so different from each other. Why don't those people in my yard see anyone who is as considerate and considerate as Jie Ying and Jie Fang?"
After hearing this, Xia Houyi glanced at Yunxi, who was very sensible and did not follow him, and said with a smile: "Yunxi and Yuhu are also pretty good. Don't hurt other people's hearts with your nonsense."
Xia Houshu sighed again and said angrily: "Don't say it. If there is a chance, Yunxi may want to come to your yard. As for Yuhu, he is a good person, but sometimes he is too serious and rigid in his words and actions.
This has offended many people around me. I have to clean up their messes every now and then. You don’t know how the people below say I am partial!"
"What's wrong with partiality?" Xia Houyi said with a disapproving smile, "Everyone has a steelyard in their heart. Those who use it well will naturally have to take care of it more. Otherwise, why would they follow you wholeheartedly?"
This was exactly what Xia Houshu wanted. She tilted her head and thought for a while. Her brother's words coincided with her previous thoughts, which proved that her previous actions were not wrong. As for those in her yard who liked to say that she was partial behind her back.
People, just let them say it.
Xia Houyi looked back and saw what she was thinking about, so he changed the subject and said: "I heard that you have become very famous in the capital recently and are in the limelight. In order not to get married, you ruined your image. You are worthy of it. But Shu'er,
You’re already in time, wouldn’t you feel at a loss if you do this?”
His tone was rather gloating.
"What self-destructive image? Those are people from Prince Zhao's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion who are creating rumors to stir up trouble!" Xia Houshu said angrily. Then he glared at him fiercely and retorted: "You, on the other hand, are quite good at seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.
.These days when I am hesitant and restless, you are happy and happy in Mianxiang Mountain!"
Xia Houyi rubbed his chin as if thinking seriously, and then joked: "You dare to put wasabi powder in Prime Minister Wang's tea, I guess you don't need my help, right?"
Xia Houshu was so angry that he jumped to his feet and said: "I was forced by the situation! No, I misjudged the situation! If you were at home and I had a personal discussion, would you be able to do this?"
Xia Houyi disagreed with her statement, and said sincerely: "You are always going to get married, I can't always stop you. What if I stop the wrong person one day, won't it cost you your life?"
Xia Houshu glared at him, turned around and held on to the back of a chair, barely squeezing out a few tears, and said pitifully: "The world is so cold! The relationship between brother and sister is so dull now. The second brother has already married before he gets married.
What you said is so clear. I don’t think you will tolerate me freeloading at home in the future. In this case, you don’t have to make me angry with your words. I will go and tell my father and mother that next time someone comes to propose marriage, whether it is a deaf person or not.
You are still blind, so I will marry you so as not to hinder your eyesight."
Xia Houyi watched her performance calmly, and said in a loud voice: "Shur, you don't have to act in front of me. What is your idea? Others don't know it, but I don't know it either?
You talk so badly about yourself, it seems that I, as an elder brother, have a lot of faults."
After being exposed, Xia Houshu simply stopped pretending, put his hands on his hips and roared: "It's your fault. You clearly knew what my father and mother were planning, but you didn't tell me, leaving me completely defenseless. You didn't tell me
That’s all, you went to Mianxiang Mountain to escape at this time, I think you just want to see me making a joke! Now the whole capital regards me as a talking point after dinner, are you happy?"
"How can you be happy?" Xia Houyi's tone suddenly softened, and he looked at Xia Hou Shu with gentle eyes, "Shur, I'm sorry, I came back late."
"Second brother..." Xia Houshu looked at his elder brother and felt a sudden warmth in his heart. In the past two months, she had wanted to seek his help many times, but he was not there. So she had to hold on by herself.
Let's take it one step at a time. Fortunately, nothing irreversible happened in the end. But now that he is back and saying such things to her, she is still quite happy.
Xia Houshu tried hard to control the vibration and pleasure in his chest, and said with a smile: "I'm just teasing you!"
Xia Houyi stretched out his hand to scratch the tip of her nose and said dotingly: "Bad girl!"
Xia Houshu smiled innocently, looked at him carefully again, and said, "I was at my mother's place just now. I can't ask, were you forced to train by Taoist Lingqiu when you went to Mianxiang Mountain this time?
Why is it so much darker than when we went there? There are green trees everywhere in Mianxiang Mountain, so you won’t be so tanned.” Then she stretched out her hand to squeeze the strong muscles on his arm, “Even the arm is dark.
He’s become much tougher!”
"It's true that nothing can be hidden from your eyes." Xia Houyi said with a helpless smile.
Seeing this look on his face, Xia Houshu immediately became alert. Thinking of the Fu family brothers, she vaguely realized that Xia Houyi's statement that he was going to sleep in Xiangshan this month was just a cover, and his real purpose...
Xia Houshu didn't want to continue guessing, so he asked: "Where have you been these days?"
Xia Houyi raised the corners of his lips slightly and said softly: "I went to Lingdu."
"Ling, Ling...du?" Xiahou Shu was so shocked that he didn't react for a long time. How could he suddenly go to Lingdu?
That is King Ling’s territory!
Is it so easy to enter and leave the land of tigers and wolves?
Xia Houshu soon realized that this was not a topic that could be discussed casually, so he looked at Yunxi who was waiting outside, quickly walked to the door, looked around, and said: "Yunxi, I have something to say privately.
Tell my second brother, you hold the door for us and no one is allowed in!"
Yun Xi thought she was going to talk about being threatened and taken away by Qin Nan, and suddenly felt a heavy burden on her shoulders. She smiled knowingly, patted her chest and solemnly nodded her promise: "Don't worry, girl, even if it's just a fly
I won’t even put it in!”
Xia Houshu also noticed that Yun Xi had misunderstood, and thought that it was good that she had misunderstood, so that she would not have to explain. She gave Yun Xi an encouraging look and closed the door.
Xia Houyi looked at her series of actions and couldn't help but laugh: "You are really cautious. Think about it, something else happened while I was not at home, right?"
"That's right, every bite makes you wise. I can remember this sentence for the rest of my life, so no wonder I'm cautious." Xia Houshu said, but she didn't want to bring up the old things again. She raised her head and looked at her brother expectantly.
"Now can you tell me what happened?"
"You are really curious and unsatisfied." Xia Houyi said helplessly, "But I can tell you this matter, lest you accidentally bump into the muzzle of the gun and ruin my plan in the future."
Xia Houshu nodded guiltily, as if he was all ears.
Xia Houyi said: "In April, I did go to Mianxiang Mountain as planned. Someone followed me at that time, and I always pretended that I didn't know about it. But after I stayed at Mianxiang Mountain for half a month, that person probably saw me.
Every day I was either practicing martial arts or eating, drinking and having fun with the Fu family brothers. When I found it boring, I left on my own. Then I took Fu Xi with me to Lingdu."
"Who is following you?" Xia Houshu couldn't help but interrupt again. There were many questions in her mind, "Why are you suddenly going to Lingdu again?"
Xia Houyi said: "The plan to go to the mausoleum was made early in the morning, and it was not a temporary decision. As for the person following me, I don't know his true identity, but he is probably one of Yuwen Ke's people."
"Yu Wenke?" Xia Houshu suddenly remembered that he had met Xia Houyi by chance in a rouge shop not long after he left Beijing. At that time, Yuwen Ke deliberately mentioned to her that Xia Houyi went to Mianxiang Mountain. In order to escape as soon as possible, she
He had no choice but to lie and claim that he came back for Xia Houyi to celebrate his mother's birthday.
From this point of view, they really did not meet by chance at that time. So what did Yu Wenke want to do by trying so hard to get close to them? How much did he find out? Could Qinan have any contact with him?
Xia Houshu felt a headache. And the information she currently had was not enough to form a complete relationship chain, let alone answer her many doubts and concerns.
"What did you think of?" Xia Houyi also realized that her reaction was wrong.
Xia Houshu was worried that his concealment would bring trouble to his brother, so he told the story of his encounter with Yu Wenke, but did not mention the story of Qin Nan.
Xia Houyi was a little worried at first, but after hearing this, he seemed relieved and said: "It seems that he is really worried that I will go to Lingdu, so he came to test you."
"Why is he afraid of you going to Lingdu?"
"Something did happen." Xia Houyi interrupted her and stopped her from saying the word "rebellion." He thought about it and didn't know where to start, so he asked: "Shur, do you believe
Is there anyone in this world who would use their own children to take revenge on others?”
"How do you say this?" Xia Houshu was even more confused. Aren't they talking about Yu Wenke again? When did another child come? What does it have to do with the child? Who will take revenge on whom?
Xia Houyi looked at her deeply and said, "Yu Wenke may not be Mrs. Xue's son."
