I Became the Older Brother of the Heroine in an Abusive Novel

As soon as the peddler received the heavy amount of money and heard Xue Yan's words, he quickly gave him some change and said with a smile, "Master, you look young, did you have a family so early?"

He didn't even notice that the other young master who was following this young master quietly blushed.

"You don't need to look for it." Xue Yan didn't bother to take the scattered silver around, took the pair of jade pendants, and turned to leave.

When the peddler saw it, he knew that he had met a generous customer.

He hastily said a few auspicious words: "Then thank you, son! I wish you and your wife a happy marriage for a hundred years, and have a precious son soon!"

It was rare for Xue Yan to show a faint smile to such an outsider.

"Thank you," he said.

But right after, he was dragged away by Jun Huailang.

Jun Huailang pulled him away, then lowered his voice and said: "What are you talking about, who is your wife?"

Xue Yan just smiled and said nothing.

Jun Huailang has nothing to do with him.

Seeing that his ears were red, Xue Yan smiled and dragged him to a place with few people on the side of the road, and said, "I was wrong, I am your wife, okay?"

Jun Huailang stares at him.

When they stood still in a place where there were few people, Xue Yan held one of them in the palm of his hand, freed his hand, and tied the other around Jun Huailang's waist.

He tied it seriously, with his head lowered, the top of his jet-black hair gently rubbing against the tip of Jun Huailang's nose.

After a while, Xue Yan fastened the jade pendant.

This poor-quality jade pendant hangs on Jun Huailang's clothes, somewhat unworthy.But Xue Yan looked very satisfied, after fastening, he looked up and down.

Jun Huailang couldn't help being amused by him, and asked, "Why did you think of buying this little thing?"

Xue Yan said seriously: "Didn't you listen to what the stall owner said? It's a sympathy knot."

"Huh?" Jun Huailang was a little puzzled.

Hearing Xue Yan chuckle in a low voice, he moved closer.

"It's tied to you, but it's tied you down," he said.

How naive.

Jun Huailang thought in this way, but his heart softened a little, and the smile on his lips deepened.

In the dimly lit place, Xue Yan suddenly approached, and when Jun Huailang was caught off guard, he quickly kissed him on the lips, and then backed away immediately.

"you……"

Before Jun Huailang could speak, Xue Yan stuffed the jade pendant in his hand into his hand.

"Come on, tie me up too," he said.

-

Jin Yiwei's footsteps were fast.

Since Guo Rongwen was imprisoned that day, Jin Yiwei packed up all the evidence and sent it to Chang'an together with the IOUs issued by Young Master Xu for buying and selling oirans.

After a few days, the people arrived.

Jin Yiwei's men and horses moved quickly and were extremely secretive. Until they entered Chang'an City, there was no news from the government and the opposition.

But Chang'an has always been the territory of Dongchang. Here, they have all hands and eyes.

As soon as Jin Yiwei entered Xuanwumen, Donghuamen had already got the news.

It was a scorching summer day at the Dongji Incident Factory outside Donghua Gate.The summer in Chang'an was dry and hot, and there was a piece of ice in Duan Chong's room, which was blowing cold air.

He put down the half-peeled grapes and picked up the secret letter from Fanzi.

After a while, he laughed slowly.

Wu Shunhai was waiting on the sidelines, seeing his expression, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Factory, what's the matter?"

Duan Chong handed the secret letter to Wu Shunhai.

Wu Shunhai took the letter and read it carefully.

"This...King Guangling actually wants to make such a big move?" He was surprised.

Wu Shunhai laughed roughly twice, picked up the grapes again, and peeled them.

The letter said that the King of Guangling sent a few Jinyi guards to deliver the secret letter to the emperor.The letter contained evidence that the Xu family had embezzled Mo Jiangnan's silver money and helped the King of Yunnan send people to cause chaos in Jiangnan.

"Now, wouldn't the Xu family be completely destroyed by King Guangling?" Wu Shunhai said in shock.

Although the Xu family is not as noble as the old family like the Jun family, it has gone through several generations of monarchs, and it is even more prosperous now.

No one could have imagined that the Xu family would collapse one day.

Duan Chong laughed.

"The Xu family?" he said. "This kid's appetite doesn't stop there."

Wu Shunhai was puzzled: "What else does he want to do?"

Looking at the people of Dayong now, although the Jiang family is a party, they never interfere with the harem and the emperor's heirs. Except for the Xu family, who else has the ability and intention to seize the heir?

As long as Xue Yan brought down the Xu family, wouldn't the future throne fall firmly on him?

What else did he want besides this?

Duan Chong glanced at her and shook his head.

"In his letter, he clearly stated the King of Yunnan," he said. "Tell me, if His Majesty sees it, what decision will he make?"

Wu Shunhai said without hesitation, "According to His Majesty's temper, it is natural to send troops..."

He paused.

"You mean, King Guangling still wants military power?"

Duan Chong put the peeled grapes into his mouth, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands.

"Although the generals of Dayong are low in status, there are many soldiers in the court." He said. "He grew up in Yanyun. He has been on the battlefield since he was a teenager. How many times have he fought against the Turks? If he goes to fight the King of Yunnan, it will not be a matter of time before he wins."

"You mean..."

Duan Chong looked outside the door.

Outside, the camphor trees are lush and green, and the noise of cicadas can be heard.

"If he wins this battle, not to mention the downfall of the Xu family, he can cultivate his own power in the army," he said. "At that time, he will be helping everywhere, and no one will be able to compete with him. Will this throne be his sooner or later?"

Wu Shunhai followed suit and nodded.

"Why doesn't the factory owner like it?" He asked. "We have already stood in King Guangling's team and helped him so much. At that time, the factory owner can rest easy?"

Duan Chong said slowly: "Nights are long and dreams are many."

Hearing these four words, Wu Shunhai was also silent.

Now that the emperor is in good health and is only in his forties, as long as there are no accidents, it will be easy for him to be in power for another ten years.

At this time, Xue Yan is already in full swing, but who knows what will happen in another ten years or so?

Besides, the Dongchang people know how fickle people are.Although they have a kindness towards Xue Yan now, according to the letter Duan Shishi sent back on time, they also know that Xue Yan trusts their Dongchang more than Jin Yiwei.

But if Xue Yan lived a peaceful life with the Daquan in his hands for more than ten years, with so many fans by his side, who knows if he will still remember Dongchang's kindness by then?

They have too many variables to face.

For them, the most ideal state is that Xue Yan has been depressed and ascended to the throne with their help; or Xue Yan ascended the throne quickly within a few years, and they took advantage of the current situation to lend Xue Yan Make more profit for yourself.

But now, the development of the situation is out of their control.

Thinking of this, Wu Shunhai's expression also became serious.

"Then... the factory owner, what should we do?" he asked.

Duan Chong picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, diluting the sweet and greasy taste of grapes in his mouth.

"Of course he can't really let him go so smoothly," he said.

Wu Shunhai nodded repeatedly.

He was born as a slave, and he was the best at observing words and expressions in his life. Seeing Duan Chong's expression, he knew that Duan Chong had already made up his mind.

"Eunuch means..." Wu Shunhai asked tentatively.

"Ling Fu is now on the Xu family's boat?" Duan Chong said slowly. "If he knows, the Xu family will definitely know."

Wu Shunhai showed a bitter expression: "But Jin Yiwei has always been secretive in his work, so he probably won't let Ling Fu easily..."

He has a meal.

"Eunuch means, let's give them some news?"

Duan Chong smiled.

"That's right," he said. "No matter what to do after that, the Xu family, who are about to die, have to figure out their own way."

Inducing Xue Yan to fight with the Xu family, no matter what the result is, it will be beneficial and harmless to him.

If Xue Yan wins, his vitality will be seriously injured, and if Xue Yan loses, the Xu family has no way to put him to death.

Duan Chong enjoys the joy of tugging and taming people with applause the most.Injure him, and then personally give him sweet dates, so that he doesn't know who the enemy is, and he is grateful to himself.

Really fun and profitable.

At this time, Jin Yiwei had already entered Emperor Qingping's imperial study.

Emperor Qingping was reviewing the memorials, with Lingfu waiting on his side.Seeing a plainclothes man begging to see him, Emperor Qingping put away the memorial and glanced at Ling Fu beside him.

When Ling Fu saw someone coming in, he was sizing up the other party secretly, trying to get clues from the other party's words and deeds, so as to identify their identities.

But those few people knelt down in front of Emperor Qingping and didn't say a word.Just as Ling Fu was about to look at it again, he received the gaze of Emperor Qingping.

This means to let him back down.

Naturally, Ling Fu did not dare to disobey the imperial decree, saluted, and then quietly retreated.

The door of the imperial study room closed heavily behind him.

Ling Fu looked back a few times, then walked to the corridor, and asked the little eunuch guarding there: "Those who came in just now, can you tell who they are?"

The little eunuch shook his head blankly.

Ling Fu gritted his teeth and scolded him.

He knew that even if he asked other people now, he couldn't find anything.Those who served in the palace looked pretty, but only they knew how unsettled they were.

After serving the master in front of them well, they will have inexhaustible glory and wealth.But they are the vines growing on the big tree. When the tree falls, they will die with it.

Therefore, while serving the emperor in front of him, he also needs to find a way out for himself.

He originally thought that the Xu family was reliable, famous in the court, with favored concubines in the harem, and his own heir.

Unexpectedly, the lady Jieyu committed suicide, and the Xu family took advantage of their great power to take a few dangerous moves, but instead of reaping the benefits, they themselves were in jeopardy.

Ling Fu only felt resentment.

In the palace, although he was by the emperor's side every day, the eyes and ears of his subordinates were limited to the palace.

Now, his outside backer is about to collapse, and he has nothing to do.

He took another look into the royal study.

It's so quiet inside that you can't hear anything.But he was inexplicably flustered in his heart, always feeling that something big was going to happen.

Just then, a little eunuch came over.

Ling Fu glanced at it, felt unfamiliar, and thought it was someone who had no brains and went the wrong way.

He stepped forward and reprimanded him when he opened his mouth.

"Knowing where this place is, you dare to bump into it here?" He said.

The little eunuch smiled secretly.

"Slaves know where this is," he said. "The slave is here specially to find the father-in-law."

Leng Fu frowned and looked at him.

Hearing the little eunuch's eyes glance towards the direction of the imperial study.

"Eunuch doesn't want to know, who is inside?" He lowered his voice, only the two of them could hear clearly.

"The father-in-law came with the slave, and the slave will tell you."
