Quick Travel: The host must die in every plane
Chapter 104 The silly young master’s little “fairy” wife (25)
"Second brother, what are you looking at?"
Xue Jili curiously ran to the desk and picked up the account book. He seemed to be flipping through it casually, but in fact he silently wrote down the contents.
Unfortunately, Xue Zhongyi took it over after not even turning through a few pages of the ledger, "There's nothing interesting about this."
After saying that, he led Xue Jili to the wooden shelf next to him and pointed to the rare treasures on the shelf. "Jili, these are the rare things that the second brother has collected from his travels over the years. Have a look." like?"
Although he was in a hurry just now, Xue Jili still looked through the account book, and there was an order recorded in it that he signed with shopkeeper Wang not long ago.
He remembered that that time was right after shopkeeper Wang went to Qiluo Shop to cancel the order. In other words, shopkeeper Wang had just returned the goods at Qiluo Shop and turned around to do the business with Xue Zhongyi.
So during that time, Su Ye was worried about this order all day long and was very busy. It was his second brother who was secretly deceiving him.
While he was pretending to pick the treasures on the shelf, he was thinking about how to trick his second brother.
There is a jade-carved pony on the shelf, crystal clear and bright.
Xue Zhongyi saw his brother's eyes falling on the pony for a long time, so he raised his hand and took it down.
"Ji Li, do you like this? If you like it, just take it. There's no need to be polite to my second brother."
Looking at the jade pony that suddenly appeared in his hand, Xue Jili felt mixed emotions in his heart.
After all, they are brothers whose blood is thicker than water.
Would such a second brother really have murderous intentions for him?
The human heart is the most fragile and cannot withstand easy temptation.
But people's hearts are also the most unpredictable. There is still a distance between parents and children, let alone other people.
He tightened his grip on the pony in his hand and raised his eyes. The pain and confusion in his eyes turned into anger, "Second brother, I met Huang Yan when I went out to play with Sister Fairy. He called me a fool again. Many people said I'm a fool. Second brother, do you think I'm a fool too?"
"Of course not, Ji Li, you are just sick. Don't listen to the nonsense of people outside. When I see Huang Yan next time, I will teach him a lesson for you."
"Sick? Then if my illness is cured, won't they call me a fool?"
Yes, can it be cured?
I don't know why, it should have been a very happy thing for his brother to recover from his illness, but when he heard those words coming out of Xue Jili's mouth, some evil thoughts subconsciously appeared in his mind.
No, how could he think like that? That's his biological brother.
But when he saw Xue Jili's innocent eyes, he subconsciously looked away and did not dare to look.
Those eyes were so clean, as if they could see through all the ugly faces in the world. He seemed to be able to see his own hideous face in those eyes.
Xue Zhongyi's reaction was so abnormal. If it were the stupid Xue Jili before, he might not have noticed the clues, but it's different now.
The human eye is a mirror that reflects inner thoughts.
Xue Zhongyi's eyes just now told him that he didn't want his brother to get better.
In other words, he is afraid that his brother will get better one day.
What is he afraid of?
The answer is self-evident.
At this time, Xue Jili already understood. He stared into his second brother's eyes and asked, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing. Maybe I was tired from reading just now. Ji Li, why don't you go back today and wait for the second brother to have a rest before playing with you again, okay?"
The cold wind was howling outside the house, but a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Xue Zhongyi's forehead.
"Okay, second brother, you have a good rest, I'm leaving."
Xue Jili already got the answer he wanted, and it would be useless to stay here any longer.
The words were divided into two parts. Su Ye had already collected enough evidence and was rushing home.
She had already sent someone in advance to invite Mr. Xue to return to the Xue Mansion Ancestral Hall, and she wanted to report the matter to Mr. Xue alone.
In order not to alert others, the fewer people know about this matter, the better.
The evidence was overwhelming, and even Xue Yuanwai, who had always been tolerant towards others, became angry.
But after all, he is the son he has raised for more than 20 years. Even if he knows that he has made mistakes, as a father, he always wants to give him a chance to change his ways.
He solemnly told Su Ye that the matter should not be brought to the Yamen for the time being. After all, Xue Zhongyi was the only reliable son left in the Xue family. As long as he was willing to change his ways, the Xue family could give him a chance.
Yuan Xue was thinking about the entire Xue family. Although Su Ye was not satisfied with his arrangement, he had no right to interfere.
Xue Zhongyi's hands and eyes are astute. He can even bribe people from the yamen. Su Ye alone can't deal with him at all.
At least after Xue Yuanwai knew about this matter, Xue Zhongyi would not dare to attack her and Xue Jili so blatantly.
Whenever something happens between her and Xue Jili in the future, Xue Yuanwai's first suspect will be him.
At that time, he still won't get a cent of the family property.
On the other hand, Xue Zhongyi has been feeling uneasy since Xue Jili left. He feels tight in his chest whenever he writes, reads, or looks at his account books.
My chest felt tight and depressed, so I decided to go out for a walk.
Wandering around aimlessly, he finally wandered to the door of Yuan Xue's study.
How did you end up here?
He was confused and was about to leave when he suddenly heard the sound of Mr. Xue talking to the housekeeper from inside.
"Master, are you sure you want to do this? Wouldn't it be too unfair to the second young master?"
"Oh, I don't know. But now Zhongyi has lost his original intention and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. I'm worried that the more power he has, he will eventually be swayed by the desire for profit and go down a crooked path, ruining his life. ah."
"But how can the young master manage so many important shops now that he is mentally retarded?"
"I've asked about it. Recently, a foreign expert came to the town. He specializes in treating difficult and complicated diseases. He may be able to cure Ji Li's stubborn illness. Even if this expert can't do anything, at least he has Xianxian beside him. You have also seen her ability, I feel relieved to leave the Xue family business and Ji Li to her."
"The second young master?"
"I hope one day he can understand that I am doing this for his own good. For so many years, I have treated him as my own. He has been involved in the whirlpool of fame and fortune for too long. He can only see it by jumping out on his own. A wider world.”
The rest of the conversation seemed to have turned into headless flies buzzing in Xue Zhongyi's ears. Only the phrase "treat him as his own child" kept repeating in his mind.
At that moment, he seemed to have lost any ability to think, and he didn't even know how he finally walked back to the yard.
That night, he seemed to have been walking alone in the biting cold wind for a long time. The path that usually only took a cup of tea to reach the end seemed to have turned into a bottomless abyss.
A person is numb from beginning to end, from body to mind.
God really likes to joke.
The crow squeezed into the magpie's nest and became the only healthy and strong bird inside.
It thought that it would definitely become the new owner of the nest.
But suddenly one day, it knew its identity as a crow.
It turns out that it never belonged to this nest.
But the reason why this nest is so indestructible is because it picks up branches day after day to strengthen it.
So, why can't this nest belong to it?
