3 years later it will still be you

Hsu had just entered the inner hall when he heard Hsu's voice.

"Brother, can you recognize this person?"

"You?" Jue searched in his mind, and then he remembered that this was the guy who found the wrong place to kick out when he was going to sell a brocade and silk shop in the back alley of Fanqiao a few days ago.He gritted his teeth immediately: In order to quickly raise the money owed in the underground casino, he had to sell a few good shops. There was a little rumor that the terms with Jue had to be kept secret at a high price.It's not that Jue didn't have the intention to kill, but the people around him have repeatedly advised him that the current situation should not be complicated, or he can be fulfilled first, and send someone to watch, and wait until the overall situation is settled before making any plans.Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper had two ends. On the one hand, he demanded a high price from Jue, on the other hand, he tried his best to drive away the clerk and accountant, and took the money that was supposed to be compensated to everyone into his own pocket.That day, when I went to check the accounts in the store, I happened to meet the shopkeeper who kicked the man out, saying that he stole the money from the cabinet, and even the neighbors knew about it.He also thought it was wrong at first, but he didn't have time to care about the life and death of an unknown person, so he didn't interfere.

"Young Master, Young Master, you have to make decisions for the villain!! Nowadays, no one in the shops in this neighborhood dares to let the villain work as a errand. Isn't this going to drive the villain's family to a dead end?" The mortal looked Arriving at Jue, it was as if he had seen hope.

"It was you who stole the money from the locker that day and you were kicked out of the silk shop. I should have known why today!" Jue saw the man kneeling at his feet, moved away in disgust, and moved a little further away.

"My lord, the villain has done his best in Yunjin Silk Village in the past few years, and never dared to touch anything!" Hearing what Jue said, the mortal panicked, knelt and moved to Jue's side, kowtowing non-stop.

"You lowlifes can't do anything for a few dollars, and now you still have the face to come to Gaoxin's mansion to make trouble. I think you are impatient!" Jue felt guilty and didn't want to entangle with him any longer, so She kicked him on the shoulder, trying to scare him into shutting up.

Hu and Yu stood up at the same time, but they didn't have time to stop Jue's kick.Hsu got up to pity this mortal; Hsu because he dared to use force in front of his grandmother, which was disrespectful.

The mortal was kicked to the ground, his entire arm was dislocated, and he almost passed out from the pain.Xie helped him up, and it took a lot of spiritual power to make him wake up slowly.

"Brother's actions this time, grandma is still in his eyes!" Xun questioned.

After Jue finished kicking, he also realized that he had offended the grandmother in the seat, and was thinking about how to plead guilty to the grandmother, and hurriedly kicked this person out.But he didn't expect that his kick was driving a dog into a poor alley.Ordinary people see Jue like this, thinking that there is no hope in the future, and that his mother, wife and children may also regard him as a disgrace to the family, so they give up the idea of ​​survival, and only think that if they can't find their innocence today, they will die in the Gaoxin Mansion. So he let out a sneer:

"Yes, the villain is just a mortal pariah. For the livelihood of the whole family, he will do anything. It is not a pity to die. Then today I will ask you, Mr. Gao Xin, to borrow money from the casino under Fanqiao. Why did you come here?" After the mortal said this, his eyes flashed fiercely with the last bit of strength.

These words appeared in the inner hall of Jingxian Hall like a thunderbolt, the old lady held her breath in her chest for a long time and couldn't spit it out, Jue's complexion was also pale at this moment, cold sweat soaked through her underwear in an instant.The old lady leaned on the edge of the table and stood up tremblingly. Hsu hurried up to help, but was pushed away by the old lady.

"Grandma, grandma, I, no, you..." Jue was too flustered to speak.

The old lady slammed the teacup in her hand in front of Gao Xinjue,

The three grandchildren knelt on the ground together.

"Grandmother, grandson knows his mistake, grandson accepts the punishment, but I beg grandma to take care of himself." Jue almost cried.

"Grandmother, don't worry, there may be some misunderstanding." Hsu looked at the old lady distressedly.

The old lady motioned for Hsu to come forward, pulled Hsu to her side, and whispered in his ear:

"You send your cronies to escort this mortal family away from Gao Xin, the farther the better. Find a good place to live and errands, don't..." Before the old lady Gao Xin finished speaking, Hsu interrupted her:

"Grandma, don't worry, grandson understands, this family will be grateful for the kindness of the Gao Xin family for generations."

Back in time, Yaoge came to Gaoxin not long ago.

Ever since seeing Yao Ge at the old lady Gao Xin's birthday banquet, Jue has been fascinated by this beautiful and lovely girl, and he feels that his life has suddenly become radiant.From childhood to adulthood, everyone around him respected and feared him, and he was used to it, but he never had such a woman who looked at him with a proud expression, which made him constantly want to guess what she liked, what she was thinking, But never figured it out.But the more this happened, the more interesting he found it, and tried to make Yaoge happy. He wandered around Gaoxin City with Yaoge all day long, and even sent his guards to inquire about delicious and fun places in the city. With a smile on Yaoge's face, he felt that no matter how much he gave, he would be willing.

Until one day, Jue's cronies came to report that Yuan Ji from the accountant had suddenly disappeared. A few days ago, he had negotiated with several big clans to buy tobacco.At this time, Jue knew that he could no longer play with Yaoge all day long, so he searched for Yuanji's whereabouts and raised money for the goods, but he still had to spare time, thinking of sending Yaoge some delicious and fun things to relieve her boredom. Son.Jue couldn't understand why Yuan Ji had followed him for many years and never made a mistake, why he disappeared at this time, why the difference between the money in the account and the record was so huge... Three days later, a mortal in the suburb of Gaoxin A floating corpse was found in the wild lake in the village. The corpse had been swollen beyond recognition, but the clothes on its body were all of primordial disease.It's not that Gao Xinjue has no doubts in his heart. After all, clothes, shoes and hats can be exchanged for others, but if it is true that Yuan Ji exchanged all his own things on this dead body, it may be difficult to find him at this moment. outstanding payment.Dahuang's tobacco business has always been controlled by Tu Shanshi, and Jue has been planning how to get a piece of the pie from Tu Shanshi.However, the fox of the Tu Shan family has a good relationship with Gao Xinjie. If it is made public, it must not be good. It is better to secretly deal with several families that supply tobacco, and directly divide a piece from the source. earn a little.For this reason, he spent a lot of effort and could not make mistakes at this juncture.So he remembered hearing a few low-ranking guards talking about the underground casino under Fanqiao a few days ago.All casinos can borrow gambling funds from visitors. Correspondingly, those who borrow gambling funds must have an intermediary as a guarantee, and they must show their family seals, which is troublesome.And once the family seal is shown, someone will definitely pass it on to Gao Xinjie or the old lady Gao Xin.There is a rule in Gaoxin's ancestral precepts: Once any Gaoxin tribe is found to be in or out of a casino to gamble or borrow money from gambling, his hands will be cut off immediately, he will be expelled from Gaoxin, and he will never be allowed to re-enter Gaoxin's mansion.This underground casino only accepts poor mortals and even slaves in the city, so there are not so many rules.Gao Xinjue secretly inquired that the two casinos in Gaoxin City were Fangfeng Qingluan's dowry, they are still in Fangfengshuo's hands for the time being, and will soon be included in the Tu Shan clan.This Fangfeng Shuo is a libertine, lazy and casual by nature, he hates the lessons of the elders in the family the most.When he was young, the sons of several clans studied in which school, and Fang Fengshuo had accepted his love, so it shouldn't be a big problem to ask him for this small favor at this time.Besides, being able to make the future patriarch of the Gaoxin Clan owe a favor is something that many people dream of. After much deliberation, Fang Fengshuo has no reason to refuse him.Therefore, Gao Xinjue used illusion to save his appearance and went to the underground casino to borrow gambling funds. Before the Tu Shan family officially took over the casino, he returned the money without anyone noticing.Gao Xinjue thought over and over again, this is the best way at the moment.

Gao Xinjue went to the underground casino under Fanqiao alone, but Fang Fengshuo was not there, but the person in charge declined on the grounds that he borrowed too much money for gambling. The amount, and then signed his name, then covered it with spiritual power, rolled it up and handed it to the person in charge.

"Take it to your master to see if he borrows it or not. I'll wait for you here." Jue spoke as if she were her own slave.The person in charge couldn't identify who it was, he just felt that this person was not acting like an ordinary person, so he didn't dare to neglect, told him to entertain him, and left in a hurry.Jue sat down proudly, imagining Fang Fengshuo's appearance when he saw the deed.It's just that he didn't expect that the person who saw the contract was Tu Shanxian.

After settling down the mortal, Jie returned to Jingxian Hall, and handed over a roll of bamboo slips to the old lady Gao Xin, which was exactly the deed signed by Jue himself that day.The old lady saw the number on the deed, and saw Gao Xinjue's name signed on the place where it was signed.Gao Xinjue's eyes widened angrily, and he glared at Hsu fiercely:

"It turned out that you designed to harm me! Otherwise, how could this deed be in your hands!" Jue was eager to get away, and when he saw that Hsu handed the deed to the old lady, he wanted to bite back.

"I didn't mean to frame you. It turned out that the Patriarch Tu Shan was discussing this matter with me today." After finishing speaking to Jue, he turned to Mrs. Gao Xin and said, "The two casinos Mrs. Tu Shan came to marry have been closed recently. All of this was handed over to the Tu Shan clan, and the Patriarch Tu Shan discovered this contract when he was checking the accounts. He and I have known each other since we were young, and this matter concerns the face of the Gao Xin clan, so it is unavoidable, so we plan to return the contract to the Gao Xin mansion for preservation."

"Xian is really thoughtful." The old lady nodded after listening.

"Brother, you really misunderstood the second brother. If it hadn't been for the guy from the silk shop who bumped into the young lady today, the second brother and I would still..." Huo didn't finish his sentence, but was interrupted by Jue:

"Shut up, don't think you don't know who you are with Gao Xinjie backing you up." Jue almost scolded.

"His identity is my grandson, the third son of the Gao Xin family." The old lady's words sounded calm, but she trembled slightly with anger.

"Zhuyu!" Hsu hurriedly helped the old lady calm down, and the old lady calmed down for a while, then called out to the door.

"Yes." Zhuyu heard the old lady calling her, and hurriedly opened the door.

"Take Gao Xinjue down, according to the ancestral teachings, cripple his hands, drive him out of Gao Xin's family, and never enter Gao Xin's mansion!" After the old lady finished speaking, she coughed violently.

Hearing what the old lady said, Jue wanted to kneel down to the old lady's side immediately, and Jie immediately winked at Qiu Jin who was waiting outside the door. Qiu Jin came in with two guards and held Jue firmly, and dragged him out of the hall .

Hsu hurriedly brought tea to the old lady, and Hsu helped the old lady calm down.The old lady finally stopped coughing, she closed her eyes slowly, her breathing became more stable, then she opened her eyes and looked at Hsu in front of her,

"Have you all thought about the rest of the matter?" the old lady asked.

"Grandma, don't worry, my grandson will live up to my grandmother's entrustment." Hsu's eyes were a little red, and he knew in his heart that his grandmother loved him, and the grandmother he wanted would always find a way to help him. It was just about the patriarch, and the grandmother did it for him. The pain he endured was too great, and he also felt sorry for his grandmother.

"Where's Xiao'er?" When the old lady looked at Xiao, there was always guilt in her eyes.Huo also saw it, so she looked at her grandmother with a smile and said:

"Xiao'er only has two relatives who are connected by blood, grandmother and second brother. As long as you are safe, you can do whatever you want." Huo comforted the old lady.

The old lady closed her eyes and took a deep breath.When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were like torches, and Hsu and Yu stood on either side of her, helping her to the main entrance of Jingxian Hall, where the high-ranking guards and servants of Gaoxin Mansion were already waiting at the entrance:

"From today, my Gao Xin family only has two sons, Gao Xinjie and Gao Xinyu. Five days later, Gao Xinjie will take over the position of Gao Xin's patriarch." The old lady said.

Xun and Xun stood at the bottom of the steps, and bowed to the old lady.The guards and servants in the courtyard also kowtowed.

Yu secretly looked at Hsu, with no expression of joy or worry on his face, as if nothing had happened.

Yun Shu told Yao Ge the news he had heard, and Yao Ge hurriedly asked Yun Shu to summon all the guards and servants of Qinghui Pavilion to the inner hall:

"Recently, the major events in the mansion concern the Second Young Master and the entire Gaoxin clan. Now, people in Qinghui Pavilion have to be more cautious in speaking and doing things, and they can't make any mistakes. Can you hear everything clearly?" Yaoge said.

"Yes." The guards and servants in the hall answered in unison.

In the evening, Yaoge asked Yun Shu to leave with the maidservants, and waited for Hsu to change her clothes.Thinking of how many days he had worked so hard, today he had been tossing for another day, and he finally came back, and he didn't want others to disturb him anymore.

"Brother Hsu, you've lost a lot of weight." Yao Ge also let go of her dignified young lady's appearance in the daytime, and nestled in Hsu's arms like a little girl.

"I've been a little tired for the past few days, but fortunately the overall situation has been settled, and it's not in vain for us to be separated." After saying this, there was still no expression on his face, but Yao Ge heard such whispers, full of tenderness

"Will the eldest son really leave the Gaoxin mansion?" Yaoge slowly sat up and looked at Jie, "Speaking of which, it is not a commendable thing for my elder brother to be removed from the family tree, but at this time you are succeeding the Gaoxin patriarch. I'm worried that doing so will arouse a lot of suspicion in Gao Xin's family." Yaoge said.

Grandmother really did not choose the wrong person. Although Yaoge usually looks headstrong and naive, once something really important happens, he is unflappable and considerate. Thinking so, Hsu pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, and put Yaoge gently again. Hold it in your arms and say:

"Although I have been fighting with him for many years, I always thought that I came from the same line as him. I never thought of taking his life seriously. Unexpectedly, he wants to kill me regardless of blood and family. If he is kept in the mansion at this time, I'm afraid that even if I become the patriarch, I won't be able to protect you and your children," said Xu.

Yaoge heard something in the words, so she raised her face and looked at Hsu, suddenly she remembered that Hsu had three wounds on his body, so she reached out to touch the deepest wound under his collarbone.Before touching him, Hsu grabbed his hand, put it to his lips and kissed it lightly, and continued:

"On the day you returned to Yijina, I had already received a report from you. I was on my way back to the mansion, but I found someone ambushing in the wilderness on the way back to the mansion. The guards scattered in all directions. At first I I guessed it was him, but his spiritual power is lower than mine, so I didn't take too much precautions, but I didn't know that there was Fangfeng Shuo behind me." When he said this, it seemed that he was talking about a distant place that was different from himself. unrelated story.

"The windproof cone in your hand?" Yaoge asked in disbelief.

"If it wasn't for Xingyue's helplessness in serving me, and Yu and Xian's trying their best to save me, I'm afraid the current Gao Xinjie would have been buried in the ground." After finishing speaking, Xu coughed heavily twice.Yaoge responded and got up quickly to pour him a cup of hot tea.

"I told you this today to let you know the whole story. If someone really talks about it in the future, you don't have to care about it. I'm not afraid. It's just that you have such a temper, and you will not be angry if you listen to gossip in front of people in the future. , the unhappiness in my heart will inevitably hurt my body." Jie continued to speak, and Yaoge was moved by hearing it.

In fact, this statement is half true and half false.When he planned to let Jue go to the underground casino to borrow gambling money, he really just wanted to use this trick to threaten him at a critical moment.Unexpectedly, on the night of Tu Shan's wedding, he deliberately went to make friends with Fang Fengshuo, and hinted that Fang Fengshuo would help him to kill him.From the moment he knew about it, he told himself that he would never feel any brotherly affection for this person.

It’s just that neither Jue nor Yaoge knew that Fang Fengshuo and Tu Shanxian had a deep friendship as early as when they were teenagers. Later, Tu Shanxian met Fangfeng Qingluan because Fangfeng Shuo wanted to show off his spiritual power to his younger brothers and sisters at home. , accidentally broke an ancestral colorful glazed cup, and before he ran out of the house, he was caught by his father, hung up and beaten.Fangfeng Qingluan saw that he was pitiful, so he helped him escape and hid in Tu Shanxian's house.

When Fang Fengshuo knew that Gao Xinjue was going to kill Gao Xinjue, he immediately told Gao Xinjue, and also told him that Jue hoped that this attack would be safe, so he asked him to simmer the poison on the Fangfeng Cone.Jie decides to follow suit and let Fang Fengshuo follow Jue's plan.It's just that when Jue found Fangfengshuo suddenly, before Hsu had time to tell Xian about it, Fangfengshuo thought that Hsu would definitely tell Xian, and with Tu Shanxian around, Hsu would not be in danger, on the contrary, if the uncles in the family Knowing that he was involved in the Gao Xin family's brother struggle, he must not have a good life, so he simply hid, and no one could find him, which hurt his vitality.

After all, it was Gao Xin's blood. According to the rules, Jue's hands were broken, but he still stayed in Gao Xin's mansion for one night, so that the wound would not hurt his life with ointment.Gao Xinjue, who was so painful that he fainted several times, never imagined that he would fall to this point one day.In the excruciating pain, he vaguely dreamed of his father Gao Xinji. He cried to his father, but his father kept blaming him for not being up to date, and his mother just looked at him and wept silently.

In the groggy state, he couldn't tell whether it was the first time he woke up that night.He felt parched and was about to call out for someone, but the pain in his hand reminded him that he was no longer the respected Mr. Gao Xin, so he propped himself up on his elbows, moved down on the couch, and slowly Kneeling on the side of the desk, he tried to mobilize his spiritual power to cooperate with his arms to pour water, but he still spilled water on the desk and wet Jue's clothes. drink water.He could clearly feel that his knees and chest were wet in a large area near the table, and suddenly his eyes became hot and tears flowed down.Since his father passed away, he has never shed tears again. Even when his hands were broken just now, the anger, doubts, and helplessness in his heart turned into hatred in his heart. They are all gone, but there is only one thing left, which is called grievance.He raised his head and wanted to take back the tears, but he didn't want the tears to directly draw marks on his face, shining through the moonlight outside the window.He remembered that it was the same night at that time, Jue was still very young, and he was a little scared to live alone in Qinghui Pavilion, so he would go to accompany Hsu every night, and Jue would return to Zhaohui Pavilion when he fell asleep.At that time, he liked to take Hsu with him wherever he went, and Hsu also followed behind him, calling "brother", "brother" non-stop.When they got older and started to study, Hsu always seemed to learn faster and better than him, but he didn't care, because this younger brother defended him everywhere, even if he was occasionally punished by his teacher for not doing well in schoolwork, Hsu would still Always help him.But gradually, his father's attitude towards him changed. He always liked to say that he was not as good as Hsu. Once his father even punished him to kneel in front of his grandfather's mausoleum to copy scriptures. He knelt for three days and three nights.This time Hsu didn't show up. He copied for a long time by himself. He was too tired to sleep, and he didn't dare to talk when he was thirsty or hungry, because he was afraid of hearing his father scold him as "a dishonorable thing."

After copying the scriptures, Jue walked up to his father dragging his red and swollen knees, handed the copy he had copied to his father, and his mother held him in her arms, holding back tears and applying medicine to his knees, but only heard his father It is said that after eating and finishing today's homework, you can rest.For Jue, his father was like a god. For this man, Jue didn't dare to disobey him, but he was thinking about Hsu in his heart. His mother told him that Hsu had been ill for the past two days and his grandmother was taking care of him.So he ate honestly, finished his homework, and ran to Qinghui Pavilion to see his younger brother without taking a break, but he was stopped outside the door, saying that the second son was ill and it was not appropriate to see the eldest son.Later, Hsu changed, became silent, and became unwilling to study and play with him anymore, and he even saw hostility towards himself in Hsu's eyes.After a while, he found that Hsu studied hard and practiced spiritual power, leaving him far behind, and his father punished him more frequently. From then on, there was hatred in his heart.

"Aniang, am I unworthy to be Dad's son? I, I am worse than Hsu." Kneeling in her mother's arms, Jue asked her while weeping.

Mother hurriedly wiped the tears from Jue's face and said:

"Don't talk nonsense, Jue'er, you will inherit the position of patriarch in the future, so father will be very strict with you. You can't live up to father's expectations!"

It seems that from then on, the only thing my father said to Jue was to learn, scolding him for not learning as well as Jue, or sighing at him.Until his father died, he held Jue's hand and told Jue to work hard and not let him down.

After that, the Gao Xin brothers fought for hundreds of years.In fact, he once thought, if he hadn't been born in Gao Xin's family and didn't have to bear the responsibility of the head of the clan, or if he didn't have a younger brother and no one to compete with him, would his life be happier.

Until Yiqi Yaoge appeared, like a ray of light shining into Jue's dreary life, Yaoge seemed to be his greatest luck in Gaoxin's house.At Tu Shan's wedding that day, he had just won Fang Fengshuo, and when he was feeling proud, he saw that little wild species pulling Yao Ge down from the roof. After being dusted by someone, he was impatient to make a move, but he was whipped by his grandmother, and he let Hsu snatch Yaoge away from him.

<Yaoge, is Yaoge okay now?If Hsu doesn't love her, why doesn't she understand that I'm the one who loves her.But she still put on a wedding dress for Hsu. >

Thinking of this, Jue suddenly felt tired. He didn't want to think about it anymore, and he didn't have any strength in his body.
