"Why aren't you early? If it was any later, who knew what kind of tricks Xiao Xun would play.”
Xiao Lingyin snorted and sat down across from Xiao Ling. She looked at Xiao Ling and complained,""You know that there's a tiger in the mountain, so you're willing to go to the tiger mountain. Aren't you afraid that something will happen?”
He must be referring to Xiao Xun.
"I can't hide anything from your eyes.”
After saying that, she sighed again." These servant maids and old women are really loyal to you. How can they side with me, their master?"”
Xiao Lingyin was an outsider, but she knew everything that had happened in her courtyard. If it was really Xiao Lingyin, then it was fine. She was a sister who truly cared for her, but what if it was someone else? What if it was the malicious Miss Chen, or those sisters who frequently schemed?
What kind of ending would he have?
Xiao Lingyin heard this and felt a little awkward, but more helpless,"I was afraid that you were plotted against by someone. I'm also worried about your personality.”
"I didn't say anything about you. I'm just afraid that I'll fall into someone else's trap.”
Xiao Ling shook his head and laughed. He thought that Xiao Lingyin was still the same as in his previous life. She cared about him very much, but she was thinking too much.
"I'm afraid so."
Xiao Lingyin sighed and looked up at Xiao Ling."I don't think Xiao Xun has the guts to do that.”
Xiao Ling smiled faintly and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He was tired from playing the zither.
The servant girl outside the door reported,""Young Master is here."
It was Xiao Xiao.
"I miss this little fellow very much.”Xiao Lingyin's eyes turned cold. She was born to like children. This Xiao Xiao was smart and sensible, so she was very likable.
"Sister, Sister!"
At that moment, Xiao Xiao rushed in from the door.
The young man's body seemed to have been growing at a crazy rate. The last time he left home, he was not this tall and strong. Now that he had changed, he looked more like a boy.
Xiao Ling's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled faintly.""What do you look like?”
"Sister!"
The moment Xiao Xiao entered, she saw Xiao Lingyin. She knew that she had lost her sense of propriety, so she stood still and called out,""Ninth Sister!"
In terms of seniority, Xiao Xiao was the youngest child.
"I haven't seen you for many days, so I don't dare to recognize you.”
Xiao Lingyin wanted to pull Xiao Xiao to talk, but just as she raised her hand, she froze in mid-air.
Xiao Ling also realized that something was wrong.
There was a scar on the back of Xiao Xiao's hand. It was not long, but it could be seen clearly.
Xiao Xiao also realized something and carefully covered it up. However, since she could not cover it up, she decided not to. She openly revealed it. After all, she was in front of Xiao Ling and Xiao Lingyin. She was still a rather free child.
"Did you fight with an outsider?"
Xiao Lingyin's expression was still good. She had always doted on Xiao Xiao.
"Yes, I helped Second Brother fight with someone else.”
Xiao Xiao nodded and glanced at Xiao Ling carefully. Seeing that he did not seem angry, she let go and said,""Second Brother went to the casino to gamble with others, but he lost the bet.”
"And then?"
Xiao Ling frowned when he heard that. When he looked at Xiao Xiao again, she really did seem to have a lot of wounds on her body.
"The people in the casino insisted on getting Second Brother to take the money. Second Brother didn't have it, so I gave my silver to Second Brother.”
When Xiao Xiao said that, Xiao Lingyin frowned.
"Xiao Xiao, don't have too much contact with your second brother. There won't be a good ending if you always go to the casino.”
Xiao Lingyin was right. There were always some adults who taught people this way. However, Xiao Xiao looked at Xiao Ling in confusion.
Xiao Ling smiled faintly and did not explain. Instead, he looked at Xiao Ling.""Has your big brother appeared?"
"I don't know, but everyone in the casino left.”"I didn't give them enough money, so they didn't pursue the matter.”
Xiao Ling knew that his elder brother must have helped him in secret. His elder brother had never liked his second brother's straightforward personality, so he did not interact much with him in name. However, they were brothers, so he would not forget them.
"Then Mr Han, did he look for you later?”
Xiao Xiao's expression turned awkward when Xiao Ling asked again. In the end, she nodded."He still came to look for me twice, but I rejected him politely. However, he didn't mention my sister anymore. He just came to talk to me about the Four Books and Five Classics and occasionally play chess with me to pass the time.”
Xiao Ling's heart skipped a beat. He could not help but sneer.
It was indeed Han Lingxue's style!
"What are you talking about? I heard a muddled account!"
Xiao Lingyin was sitting on the side and heard it clearly, so she was unhappy,"You guys kept me in the dark.”
Xiao Xiao did not dare to answer Xiao Lingyin's question. She was afraid that she would say something wrong and upset Xiao Ling.
"It's not that exaggerated. He's just a lecher.”
Xiao Ling's words were vague, but Xiao Lingyin understood.
"Presumably, big sister's name has already spread outside, and I don't know how many young geniuses have been charmed.”
Xiao Lingyin did not know what kind of person Han Lingxue was. She only thought that she had fallen in love with Xiao Ling at first sight.
Xiao Ling smiled dryly. He did not want such a talented young man.
"Sister, I want to go back."
Xiao Xiao suddenly spoke.
When Xiao Ling heard this, he wanted to let him go, but he felt that something was wrong. Xiao Xiao's attitude seemed to be a little different, so he asked a few more questions. Xiao Xiao did not intend to reveal anything, but she only revealed the truth after being forced by Xiao Ling.
"It's about Second Brother. Second Brother has been nagging about it. He said that he wanted to get back his face. He said that the casino was not clean and that he had stolen his money.”
Xiao Lingyin frowned when she heard this,"Why are you going with him?" Is he a good person? Stay away from him so that he won't lead you astray.”
Then, he gave Xiao Ling a grumbling look.""Why don't you control it properly!"
Xiao Ling took a sip of ginseng tea and began to recall the incident.
It seemed that she did have a memory of this when she was young. However, at that time, she did not pay much attention to her second brother, so she naturally did not care much.
It was true that his second brother had gotten into a fight with someone from a casino. The fight was very fierce and involved a lot of people. The casino had a background, but his second brother was not to be trifled with. Instead, he made the casino a mess and even went to a casino that was the rival of the casino to bet. He said that he would definitely win or lose with the casino.
No one knew what the outcome was. They only knew that their family had done their best to settle it. After all, the Xiao family was a century-old family. Ordinary casinos were not presentable, so they naturally could not fight with the Xiao family.
However, after that incident, his second brother was not liked by others. His second brother was a sugar cane farmer and did not work hard. The Xiao family's population was prosperous, so naturally, it was not his turn.
Xiao Ling thought about it, and his eyes flickered.
"Xiao Xiao, are you going to help your second brother?”
He then looked up at Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment when she heard Xiao Ling's question. She was a little afraid to say it, probably because she remembered Xiao Lingyin's attitude just now, but she eventually nodded.
Xiao Ling was relieved. He casually took out a large package from the box beside him.
Xiao Xiao took it and immediately drew a cold breath. The touch inside was clearly silver.
This silver was enough for an ordinary person to eat for more than ten years. If it was placed in the Xiao family, it would also be a year's pocket money for these sugar cane girls.
"Sister, this?"
"Take it to your second brother."
Xiao Ling took a sip of his tea. He looked relaxed but calm."Tell your second brother that it's just a little effort from his younger brother and sister.”
What he meant was that he wanted to be on good terms with Second Brother.
Xiao Lingyin found it strange, but she did not stop him. She would not stop Xiao Ling from doing anything. She only thought,'How is this second brother as capable as my big brother?'
However, she did not ask. Xiao Lingyin felt that Xiao Ling was smart, but he rarely schemed against others. Since Xiao Ling did this, he must have his reasons.
Not long after Xiao Xiao left, Xiao Lingyin and Xiao Ling got up and were about to leave when a servant girl's voice came from the door.
"Second Young Lady has arrived!"
At that moment, the door was suddenly opened. From the side of the door, Xiao Ling could see the flattering face of the servant girl who opened the door.
Xiao Ling sneered inwardly.
As expected, the maids in his courtyard should be beaten or killed. His master had not let anyone in, but a servant dared to open the door to invite someone. It was really not an ordinary overstep.
When Xiao Yu entered the room, she did not think of this. She had always been very good at using the internet, and she had always been treated like this. Naturally, she did not think too much about it.
"Younger Sister wouldn't blame Second Older Sister for coming late, right?”
Xiao Yu teased as he walked over. Seeing that Xiao Lingyin was also there, Xiao Yu's heart sank a bit. He thought to himself,'Luckily I'm here. Otherwise, who knows what these two people would be discussing behind my back.'
"Big Sister is really late. If she was a little later, Little Sister would have gone to invite someone.”
Xiao Ling teased her as well. He twirled the embroidered handkerchief in his hand. Xiao Yu took a closer look at the handkerchief. That's right, it was the one Xiao Qing had embroidered.
"Second Older Sister, let's go together. Why don't we bring the rest of the sisters and have fun together?”
As she spoke, Xiao Lingyin said,"Us sisters are rarely so lively."”
Xiao Yu's heart trembled. This Xiao Lingyin was indeed not easy to deal with. She had to pull so many people along just to make Xiao Xun's plan fail.
"You brought so many people with you. Why can't Xiao Xun's small house fit her?”
It meant that he didn't agree.
