Wishful Things

Do you think you don't need to tell him at all, or do you think he's too young to help?

"I just found out about it not too long ago." Xu Mingyi smiled and said, "I'm afraid you might be worried, so I planned to tell you after the matter is resolved."

In the past, facing the boy in front of her who questioned her with a puffy face, she would definitely say, "What's the use of telling you, it will only add to the chaos."

But now, she just wants to talk to her brother, even though... In fact, she did subconsciously feel that there was no need to tell him such a brat.

Cough, of course, this kind of prejudice is wrong and will have to be changed in the future.

Xu Mingshi didn't expect her to say that, and seeing her smiling, it made him a little unsure how to proceed.

"When Liu Yi found you, you probably didn't know the truth, right? So you tied her here decisively—" Xu Mingyi smiled and praised: "You did a good job."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and patted his head as a reward.

Xu Mingshi's eyes widened, as if being stabbed by something, he quickly waved her hand away.

After doing this subconscious action, he felt a little too aggressive. He raised his eyes to look at Xu Mingyi, but saw that her smile was even stronger, and her bright eyes were all bent. She seemed to think that his actions were interesting, rather than ignorance. Anyhow.

"Why does it look like a different person..." He frowned and muttered in a low voice.

Xu Mingyi pretended not to hear it, and said with a smile: "You should be tired after running along today, go back to sleep."

"Didn't it be clear why Liu Yi wanted to harm you?"

"There should be nothing to ask at this time, and my mother will ask questions later."

Of course, she couldn't avoid going to see Liu Yi in person.

"...I told you that you don't know people clearly and are sloppy. This time, you have a long memory."

When he saw Xu Ming, he wanted to continue talking, Xu Mingyi looked at him a little strangely: "Why didn't I find you nagging like this before?"

Xu Mingshi's face darkened.

Does this make him nag?

But after thinking about it, Xu Mingyi is notoriously afraid of being nagged...

At this time, she heard her asking again, "Tomorrow, do you have something to say to me?"

Xu Mingshi made a sullen face, shook his head with evasive eyes.

However, seeing her turn around as if she was about to leave, the boy clenched his fists and shouted to stop her: "Wait!"

Xu Mingyi, who was pretending to leave, turned around.

"It was my fault for cutting your bow last year... At that time, I didn't know that bow meant a lot to you. I..." Xu Mingshi's face was flushed red, but his eyes full of sincerity were extremely firm, "This matter I did something wrong, you punish me!"

This matter is a knot in his heart.

It's just that because of his face, and Xu Mingyi's face that always looked down on him, he never had the courage to speak out.

Xu Mingyi was stunned for a while before realizing what he was talking about.

After all, no matter how much she valued that bow, it was all six or seven years ago to her——

She wanted to say "I forgot it a long time ago", but when she saw the boy's serious expression, she still said, "Why should I punish you...I have to think about it..."

Suddenly realizing that he seemed to be too emotional, Xu Mingshi waited without daring to breathe.

If she made any unreasonable demands, he should...can go back on his word, right?

"I'll fine you to go and buy Cheng Ji's steamed stuffed buns for me tomorrow morning."

Xu Mingshi was stunned.

……That's it?

This is too unreasonable!

As we all know, in Zhen Guo Gongfu, the word Xu Mingyi can be used as an adjective—as for the specific meaning of the word, it can be switched at will according to different contexts.

"Can you be a little sincere!" Xu Mingshi came back to his senses with a very dissatisfied expression on his face.

According to his mother's instructions, he was supposed to take care of her. Before she recovered, he should be responsible for eating. Buying a soup dumpling is no punishment! This is simply a perfunctory attempt at his sincerity!

Xu Mingyi clicked his tongue.

Where did the punished get so many demands?

But seeing the boy's angry appearance, she had no choice but to say: "Then I'll tell you when I think about it?"

"..." Xu Mingshi reluctantly nodded.

The boy left with a sullen face, walked a few steps, turned around again, frowned and reminded: "... But this is the only chance, let me know when you think about it!"

Xu Mingyi nodded in agreement.

Jiu'er's expression is complicated and hard to say: ... What is the son's obsession with fearing that the girl will not be punished properly?

Watching Xu Mingshi leave, Xu Mingyi quietly returned to the front hall with a maid from the side.

She did not return to the hall, nor did she call the servants to report.

Seeing Xu Mingyi standing silently in the corridor with the two maids, the four women and maids were stunned for a while before realizing——Is my girl trying to eavesdrop?

But just appearing in front of them so openly... Is this appropriate?

Anyway, hide it more concealed?

"Gu..." A woman reminded her in embarrassment, but just as she uttered a word, Ah Zhu who was beside Xu Mingyi raised her eyebrows and looked at her.

"..." The mother-in-law was startled for a while, and the words she couldn't finish turned into a difficult smile.

It seems that Madam didn't specifically confess to not letting the girl eavesdrop...

Anyway, in this family, there has never been anything a girl can't do...

Furthermore, the girl hid it very well, and no one made a sound, so as long as you don't look, you won't find it at all.

Thinking of this, the mother-in-law looked back and lowered her head.

This front hall is quite large, and Lord Zhen Guo sat at the head, the people guarding outside could only faintly hear some voices, but they couldn't make out what they were talking about.

However, Xu Mingyi has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and now the surroundings are quiet, but he can hear clearly.

She knew that at first her grandfather urged her to go back to rest, in order to avoid her.

But now she really wants to know more about the family affairs, so she came up with such a way to get the best of both worlds.

Of course, if she really shouldn't listen, she will definitely not spy too much, but the hall door is not closed, so it is clear that she can be eavesdropped.

"The daughter-in-law is also at fault in this matter. It is the daughter-in-law who neglected to observe first. Especially the Ruan family... the daughter-in-law thought that she was the only concubine in the house, and it would be okay to have more lenient rules, so she didn't restrain her. But she didn't think so. On the contrary, it fueled her ambition and caused her to have delusions that she shouldn't have. When the Ruan family entered the mansion, half of it was decided by the daughter-in-law..."

"The matter of the Ruan family is rooted in me..."

Xu Jin's voice reached Xu Mingyi's ears: "It was me who was too negligent and kept the fact that she was pregnant..."

"okay!"

The old man interrupted his son impatiently: "I think you are just confused!... At the beginning, when I set the family rules for you and the second child that the Xu family cannot have concubine children, do you think it is because the Zhen Guo government can't afford it? "

Cui Shi was startled.

Xu Mingyi was also extremely surprised - there are such family rules in her family!
