Urban Dreams Come True System

Chapter 178, The weak have no diplomacy
Seeing his son being beaten by the young master, Xi hurriedly rushed to protect his child.

Situ Jian thought it was a refutation of his own face

"Okay, I'll fulfill you now, and see who dares not to take me seriously in the future."

In a fit of rage, Situ Jian planned to beat up Xi's mother and son, to show these servants that at least he, Situ Jian, was still the young master of the City Lord's Mansion.

Situ Jian deliberately found a thick stick, and he wanted to use this stick to teach the slaves a lesson.

"Son, it's all mother's fault. You shouldn't be brought into this world. You were not allowed to live a good life in Lanting Kingdom before, and now you are even more enslaved."

Hishi said, already in tears.

Thinking of all the sad experiences from the past to the present, she felt heartbroken.

It turned out that Xi Shi used to be a maidservant of the Lanting Palace. Because of her pretty looks, she was favored by the king at that time, and that's how Xi You was born.

However, the Xi family did not have any backing in the Lanting Palace. Although Xi You was born as a prince, he did not receive any attention from the king. Instead, Xi's mother and son were unanimously rejected by the other princesses in the palace.

Then, Xi's mother and son were driven to another courtyard outside the royal city, and Xiyou slowly grew up under the cynicism of everyone.

It was at that time that Xiyou developed a timid character.

At that time, he had resented King Lanting, the incompetent father, and all the people in Lanting Kingdom, thinking that they were the ones who caused the tragic fate of himself and his mother.

In a subsequent war, the Lanting Kingdom was defeated by the army of the Julu Dynasty. Except for a few people who fled to the barren land in the far east, almost all the royal family and nobles of the Lanting Kingdom were captured by the army of the Julu Dynasty. After returning, the Lanting Kingdom was destroyed.

During this catastrophe, all the captured royal families of the Lanting Kingdom were sentenced to death, and all the captured nobles were turned into slaves.

Because Xi's mother and son lived in another courtyard, they were only punished as ordinary nobles after being arrested, so they were transported to the city guard's mansion of Shanlan City as slaves.

Xi's washes and cooks for the people in the mansion. Xiyou has learned to read and write. In addition to doing odd jobs in the giant beast mill, he is also responsible for some accounting matters in the giant beast mill.

No one knew their true identities, so they escaped death.

Reminiscent of the cold reception received by the Lanting Kingdom, and now becoming a prisoner-like slave, Xi Shi felt very sad, and she was already ready to die at any time.

Situ Jian raised the stick in his hand, and it was about to fall.

"Stop it, Situ Jian."

A girl's voice suddenly sounded, with a stern tone in her tone.

I saw a beautiful girl in a goose yellow feather coat, with a beautiful nose and fine teeth, slowly walking over, with a bit of reproach in her expression.

This girl is none other than Situ Yu, his sister who is half a year older than Situ Jian.

Because Situ Yu was much stronger and more capable than her younger brother since she was a child, and she was deeply liked by her father, Lord Situ Kong, the city lord, so he entrusted her to take charge of some important things in the family.

Because of this, Situ Jian was a little afraid of his sister.

"These two slaves are disobedient, I just teach them a lesson for my sister."

Situ Jian refuted cleverly, and said with a cautious smile, but unconsciously let go of the stick in his hand.

"I'm afraid it's because you want to grab the gold coins from the Giant Beast Mill again. Do you want to take the gold coins again and go drink flower wine with your cronies?"

Situ Yue asked in a bad tone.

As her older sister, Situ Yue naturally knows what kind of personality her younger brother has. She spends her days either asking some friends to drink flowers and wine, or making trouble for others.

"How come, see what my sister said, if you don't believe me, you can ask Xiyou."

Because of guilty conscience, Situ Jian quickly backed away. Now that Situ Yue was here, he could not get the gold coins. He thought to himself that it would be better to withdraw first, and come back when he had the chance. Anyway, this giant beast mill was run by his family. I'm afraid I won't get some gold coins.

"Xiyou, tell me if this is the case, don't worry, I will support you."

Situ Yue immediately asked Xiyou.

"This, this."

Hearing Situ Yue's question, Xi You blushed a little, and then looked at Situ Jian with some fear, not daring to say yes or no, a discerning person would naturally know that it meant yes.

"Boy, I can warn you, if you want to slander me just because I hit you just now, you will know the consequences very well."

Situ Jian was afraid that Xiyou had told the truth, so he immediately started to scare him.

"What are you holding in your hand?"

When Situ Yue saw Xiyou hesitating, she knew that something was wrong, and it happened that she saw a key in her brother's hand.

Situ Yue snatched the key from Situ Jian's hand, and said with a bit of resentment: "Well, Situ Jian, I will tell my father about this and let him punish you for not having gold coin pocket money for three months."

Situ Jian's face was very ugly, he gave Xi You a vicious look, and then left resentfully.

Several servants gathered around watching the commotion here, discussing in low voices, but Situ Yue scolded them and told them to go about their own business.

Not long after, Situ Jian came to a place called Huanxi Restaurant. When he entered, there was a strong young man surrounded by several teenagers who happened to come out.

Seeing Situ Jian's dejected look, these people seemed to gloat over his misfortune.

"Hey, I didn't expect our Young Master Situ to be so depressed today. Who on earth provoked you? Do you want us brothers to avenge you."

The young man who was surrounded by others said unhappily, with a domineering sarcasm in his tone.

The young man surrounded by people was Yi Hu, the son of General Yi, the city guard of Shanlan City, and the young men following him were basically the children of some of the general's subordinates.

General Yi, as the garrison general of Shanlan City, can be said to be at the same level as the city lord, and even because of mutual restraint, the city lord and the garrison general still have some competition.

Yi Hu and Situ Jian usually had some conflicts.

Usually, Situ Jian is domineering elsewhere. Once he meets Yi Hu, he will be terrified, because his younger brothers are the children of rich and noble families who have no power to restrain them. Not the opponent of Yi Hu and his group.

Situ Jian had no choice but to pretend he didn't hear, and ran into Huanxi Restaurant in a hurry.

In a private room of the restaurant, several sons of rich merchants were waiting for him.

"Since that slave in your family made you a big fool, let us help you give him a hard lesson and vent your anger on you."

After hearing his complaints, Situ Jian's younger brothers dared not say anything wrong with Situ Yue, nor did they dare to offend Yi Hu, so they all pointed their finger at Xiyou, a poor child.

It's really good people being bullied.

So the teenagers discussed for a while, how to punish Xiyou severely on the road that Xiyou must pass, and it is best to let him have a memory forever.
