Chapter 262 Ruthless(1/2)
The servant gave Yan Yunge the manuscript and received a reward, which made him very happy.
If you have money on hand, you want to be free and easy.
I was not in a hurry to go back to the courtyard to work, so I ran to the market for a walk, and finally went back happily.
As soon as he entered the door, he was as slow as he could find that the atmosphere was abnormal.
Xu Bo seemed to have been taken away by someone, bent down and hunched back, and was old.
It was obvious that two hours ago, he was still energetic and capable like a young and strong man.
The servant was a little panicked, "Brother Xu, are you okay? Could it be that something happened to the young master?"
"Oh! You're back. The young master is fine, go and report it! Don't worry about me."
The servant was half-believing and half-doubting, how could it be fine in this way?
But he couldn't ask the truth.
Chen Shuwen sat in front of the window and read the book with concentration.
The light was a little dark, and he was not willing to light a candle.
The servant quickly lit the candle, "Young Master at least feel sorry for his eyes."
Chen Shuwen came to his senses, "Have the things been delivered?"
The servant immediately said excitedly, "Report to the young master, the young master fulfilled his mission. According to the young master's instructions, he handed the manuscript to Miss Yan Si. She said she liked this gift very much. She also gave the gift back, a set of four treasures in the study and two kilograms of tea.
She asked the young man to tell the young master that the tea leaves were paid by the tea shop under her name, so she didn't have any money, so she asked the young master to accept it. The four treasures of the study were just giving gifts, so please don't be polite. She also said that when the young master left the capital, she could not give it to him personally, please forgive me!"
After saying that, the servant placed the basket on the desk.
The basket contained Yan Yunge's return gift.
Chen Shuwen hesitated for a while before opening the lid.
Two kilograms of tea leaves were placed in a bamboo tube, and the north and south tea houses were written on it.
The four treasures of the study are all top-quality. The value is probably less than a hundred stale coins.
He sighed and told the servant, "Put it all!"
The servant hesitated and wanted to speak but stopped.
Chen Shuwen stared at him, "What else is there?"
The servant then said, "When the young man left the county lord's mansion, the manager of the mansion gave him three wooden cards, saying that they were ready-made clothes coupons. When he went to the Sisy Clothing House, he could receive three sets of ready-made clothes plus shoes and socks. The young man refused but accepted it."
After saying that, he took out three wooden signs and placed them on the desk, feeling a little nervous.
Chen Shuwen frowned slightly, "Are you sure it was not given to you by Miss Yan Si, but by the supervisor of the county magistrate's office?"
The servant nodded repeatedly, "The young man dare not deceive the young master. It is indeed the manager of the county lord's mansion. When the young man was about to go out, he met the manager of the county lord's mansion. He gave the young man three wooden cards, saying that within this year, he could go to the Four Seasons Clothing House to exchange for clothes, shoes and socks at any time. By next year, the wooden cards will expire."
Chen Shuwen took a deep breath, "Since you have given it, you can accept it. Should you exchange it or sell it to others, you can make your own decision."
The servant shook his head repeatedly, "Young people can't take it. Although the county lord's office didn't say anything, the young people also knew that the wooden sign was for the young master. How could the young people take advantage of the young master?"
Chen Shuwen smiled, "I will give you a wooden sign now."
The servant still refused to ask for it, and ran out and hid far away.
Chen Shuwen looked helpless and had to accept the wooden sign.
...
After Princess Dingtao was cleaned up by the second prince Xiao Chengwen, even though she had returned to the princess's mansion, she still tensed up and seemed nervous every day.
Anything that is a little disturbing will make her panic.
The third prince Xiao Chengyi was worried about her and went to the princess's house to visit her on the day of her holiday.
Before coming, he didn't realize how serious the situation in Dingtao was.
When I see someone, I realize that he thinks things are simple.
"Why did my sister look like this?"
Xiao Chengyi felt very distressed.
Dingtao has lost weight, and has lost more than two rounds.
The originally round cheeks became thin and pale.
His eyes were circling, and he looked very uneasy.
Xiao Chengyi frowned and looked at his son-in-law Liu Baoping dissatisfiedly.
Liu Baoping felt very wronged, "After the princess came back from the palace, she became like this. She was useful at that time, and then she returned to this shape."
Xiao Chengyi gritted his teeth and said to Liu Baoping, "I want to have a private chat with Dingtao."
The prince-in-law Liu Baoping understood, stood up and said goodbye, and gave the flower hall to the siblings.
Xiao Chengyi got closer, and he observed Princess Dingtao's expression, "Sister, I am the third brother. If you have any grievances, tell me, I will find a way for you."
Princess Dingtao shook her head repeatedly, "You can't say anything, you can't say anything. If I talk nonsense, my second brother will be unhappy."
When she spoke, her eyes were erratic and she seemed very uneasy.
It seems to be suspected that someone is eavesdropping around.
Xiao Chengyi pressed his hands on her shoulders, "Dingtao, look at me. Tell me, what did the second brother do to you?"
Princess Dingtao hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "The second brother did nothing. He just reasoned with me and told me that I should learn to grow up. Third brother, don't get me wrong. I will lose weight only after I have an irregular diet recently. When the weather is warmer in winter, I will get better."
"What are you good about? Tell me, when was the last time you looked in the mirror? Have you seen what you are now? You are very bad now, do you know?"
Xiao Chengyi felt very distressed.
No matter how naughty or willful Dingtao is, he is still his own sister.
He could not imagine how cruel the second brother had to torture Dingtao to this way.
He said solemnly, "I'll go find my mother, I must ask for an explanation for you."
Dingtao looked at him blankly and suddenly burst into tears with a "wow".
She hugged her third brother Xiao Chengyi tightly and refused to let go if she died.
Xiao Chengyi gently patted her back without making any sound.
He just had to stay by Dingtao's side, listen to her crying, and watch her vent.
Dingtao cried fiercely, his hair was messy and his eyes were swollen, describing his embarrassment.
But her mood was clear.
After so long, she finally cried.
Xiao Chengyi asked her, "Do you feel better?"
She wiped her tears and nodded, feeling a little embarrassed, "It really shouldn't be for my third brother to worry about me."
"We are brothers and sisters, you're too flirting with this. Can you tell me what my second brother did to you?"
Dingtao shook his head, "I didn't do anything, he just locked me up and didn't allow anyone to talk to me..."
She lowered her head and no sound.
Xiao Chengyi looked angry, "Why should he treat you like this? Don't worry, I will definitely ask for an explanation for you in this matter."
"Thank you, third brother! You, be careful, don't fuck the second brother. He..."
Dingtao couldn't continue talking.
At this moment, her heart was dominated by fear.
If she said bad things about her second brother, would it be heard in her second brother's ears and then she was cleaned up again?
She dared not say anything, she dared not say anything.
Seeing that Xiao Chengyi couldn't find out, he simply went to the palace.
...
He came to Weiyang Palace with a hint of anger.
Looking at the towering palace, at that moment, he suddenly calmed down.
Why should he get angry?
He can't be angry!
Anger never solves the problem, it will only exacerbate the problem.
He took a deep breath, walked into the Weiyang Palace, met his mother, and bowed to greet him.
Queen Tao was in a good mood and signaled him to sit down and talk.
He sat on the ground and carefully said, "I went to visit Dingtao today and found that she had lost a lot of weight and was very frightened. She seemed to be afraid of her second brother."
Queen Tao was in great interest today and personally cooked tea, "You entered the palace today to sue your second brother?"
