People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

The masters of the various courtyards of the Xu family gathered together today to clean up Xu Taihe.Except for Xu Changying, no one seemed to remember that the second young master was not present.

In the Wenqiu Pavilion, Xu Xilu was applying a homemade pure natural plant mask, when he heard Jiudong outside reporting "Master, Missy is here", he muttered "It's so early", he washed his face hastily, lay down on the bed Cover the bed with a quilt.

Xu Changying raised the silver curtain and hurried into the inner room, "Xilu!"

Xu Xilu was half lying on the pillow, and smiled weakly at Xu Changying, "Eldest sister."

Xu Changying sat down by the bed, held Xu Xilu's face and looked at it carefully, his eyes turned red, "It's been a while since I saw you, why have you lost so much weight!" She turned to Xing Nong who was making tea, and sternly Said: "How do you serve the second young master!"

"Ahem... It's none of their business, it's my own poor health."

Xu Changying said with tears in his eyes, "Why are you in poor health? It used to be easy to eat three bowls of rice every meal, but now... I just heard Jiudong say that you have hardly eaten for a while, but is it true?"

Xu Xilu and Jiudong looked at each other, and said with drooping eyes, "I'm fine...just miss my mother."

Xu Changying was taken aback for a moment, turned his head away, wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and then smiled and said, "Xi Lu is fine, you still have an older sister. My older sister will protect you."

Xu Changying was born when the Liu family and Xu Taihe had the best relationship. She was the first child of the Xu family and inherited Liu's bright eyes and teeth. She was deeply loved by Xu Taihe. It can even be said that she is Xu Taihe's favorite. child.After Liu's death, Xu Taihe protected her with one hand, protecting her from the harshness of her aunt and the bullying of her aunt.When she was old enough, he personally chose a good family for her, and married her off in a graceful manner.Before Xu Changying got married, Xu Xilu had an older sister to take care of him, and life was pretty easy. In the past few years, it has been getting worse day by day, and it doesn't matter how others bully him, but the whole family treats him as if he is not there.Every time Xu Changying returned to his natal family, he would stay in Wenqiu Pavilion for half a day, talking to his younger brother.Xu Xilu used to be clumsy and honest, thinking not to cause trouble for his sister, he always only reported good news and not bad news.Xu Xilu is different now.

He held Xu Changying's hand, "When I was sick, I was still thinking, it would be good if I didn't have a doctor. If I keep getting sick, maybe I can see my mother..."

Xu Changying's face changed drastically when he heard the words, "'No doctor'? What do you mean without a doctor?"

Xu Xilu had a remorseful expression for saying something wrong, "Sister..."

"You don't need to say it," Xu Changying pointed at Jiudong and said, "You tell me."

Jiudong knelt down with a plop, crying in his voice, "Miss! I beg you to be the master for our young master!"

After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Xu Changying held his handkerchief tightly, and said fiercely: "That poisonous woman... Xilu, don't be afraid, I will go to my father now and let him uphold justice!"

Xu Xilu pretended to stop her, but if he didn't stop her, he let her go.After waiting for the people to leave, Xu Xilu was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked: "Jiudong, was this young master very sissy just now?"

"No," Jiudong said bluntly, "Young Master, haven't you always been like this?"

Xu Xilu: "...Okay."

"By the way, young master, let me ask you something." Jiudong approached Xu Xilu, his face full of curiosity, "If you want to sue, you can go to the master yourself, why did you let the young lady go? ?”

Xu Xilu hated iron but said: "Are you stupid? Let me talk about it with the eldest lady. Can it be the same?"

Jiudong asked blankly: "Aren't they all the same thing, what's the difference?"

"Go figure it out yourself." Xu Xilu slapped him on the head hard, "Xing Nong, bring me your clothes, let's join in the fun."

At night, the inner halls of Xu's mansion were brightly lit.Xu Taihe sat in the first seat, and below him was his wife Zhang and his concubine Xie. The young masters and young ladies had already been sent away by Zhang.When Xu Xilu arrived, Xu Changying was standing in the hall, having finished explaining the ins and outs of the incident, he wiped his tears and said, "Fortunately, the second brother was lucky enough to escape, otherwise this time my daughter will come back, I will not be here." I know if I can see my second brother..."

Seeing this, Aunt Dong hurriedly got up and said: "My lord, madam, miss, this... this is really wronging my concubine. I really don't know that the second young master is sick! Then what are the servants of Wen Qiuge doing?" Yes, such an important matter is not reported?"

Jiudong heard Aunt Dong bite back at the door, and wanted to rush in to confront her regardless.Xu Xilu held him back, shook his head at him, and signaled him not to act rashly.

Unexpectedly, before Xu Changying could refute, Mrs. Xie, who always didn't like to meddle in trivial matters at home, said, "A while ago, Miss San accidentally fell into the water. Didn't the Second Young Master rescue her? I heard that Miss San was also a little sick. Time. I know all about this, but you don’t know it?”

Although this Mrs. Xie is a concubine of the Xu family, the servants respectfully call her Mrs. Xie, because she was born noble, and she is the daughter of Xie Heng, the chief assistant of the former cabinet.At the beginning, by chance, she met Xu Taihe, a talent in the new department, and fell in love with him at first sight. After learning that he was married, she still insisted on marrying him and became a concubine in the house.I heard that Mr. Xie was so angry that Mrs. Xie lay on the bed for several months, and declared to the public that he did not recognize this daughter, but in the end, the two were blood thicker than water. After many years of stalemate, Xu Taihe has been on the rise, and Mr. Shoufu returned to his hometown again. Only then did the Xie family's attitude soften a bit, and they still had some contacts with the Xu family on weekdays.

Xu Xilu couldn't help looking at Mrs. Xie.This woman is extremely talented, dare to love and hate, although she is willing to be a concubine, but she has an extremely arrogant personality, except for her husband, no one else can get her eyes, and today she speaks for him, an irrelevant bastard, it is a hell .

Xu Xilu was about to look away, but he caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but feel his heart move.

Standing behind Mrs. Xie was a young prince, dressed in white clothes like snow, as clear as ice, spotless, and his facial features were as if carved out of ice. His brows and eyes were as proud as Mrs. Xie's, he really looked like a banished fairy figure.

Xu Xilu was fascinated when he heard Aunt Dong explain: "Miss San is raised in Yinyan Pavilion. I naturally know what kind of headaches she has; the second young master is already a grown man, if he doesn't report it himself, why should he?" Is it okay for the concubine to watch her all the time?"

Xu Changying said angrily: "How can there be no one to report? Xing Nong and Jiu Dong from Wenqiu Pavilion have gone to Yinyan Pavilion several times. Auntie wants them to come face to face? Yes, go and invite the second young master!"

Seeing that the time had come, Xu Xilu said to Xing Nong and Jiu Dong who came with him, "Let's go."

As soon as Xu Xilu and others entered the hall, everyone's eyes fell on him.The fairy-like young man also glanced at him, then looked away indifferently.

Xu Xilu first greeted Xu Taihe and his two wives, "Father, Mother, Mrs. Xie." Then he said: "Long time no see, is Father still well?"

As if facing a stranger, Xu Taihe took a long time to realize that this was his son.Seeing that Xu Xilu was as big as the two maidservants next to him, and was supported by others, he felt depressed for a while, so he casually pointed to an empty seat, "Sit down."

Mrs. Xie showed an unclear smile, "Second young master really lost a lot of weight, and he suffered a lot when he wanted to get sick."

The taciturn Mrs. Zhang glanced at Mrs. Xie and then closed her eyes slightly.

Aunt Dong ignored Jiu Dong who was eager to try, and asked Xing Nong directly: "Xing Nong, have you ever come to Yinyan Pavilion to look for me?"

Xing Nong hurriedly blessed Fushen, and said: "Master, Madam, Madam Xie, I have indeed been to Yinyan Pavilion several times, but...but I haven't seen Aunt Dong."

Aunt Dong asked: "Then who did you see?"

"Only, I only saw Miss Liancha."

Xu Xilu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words. It seems that Aunt Dong is not too stupid, and she knows how to prepare someone to take the blame for herself.

"Lian Cha!" Aunt Dong called out without waiting for others to say anything, "Kneel down!"

Lian Cha hurriedly knelt down in front of a group of masters, kowtowed a few times, and cried out, "It's the servant's fault, it's the servant's fault! Miss Xing Nong did come to Yinyan Pavilion, but at that time the servants were all busy with the master About returning home, Miss Xingnong was in a hurry again, her words were vague, and the slaves did not understand what she was talking about after talking for a long time, she was too busy, so..."

Xu Changying pointed at Liancha and said angrily, "You..."

"Miss, calm down, but if Fan Xingnong speaks clearly, how dare the servants not report to Aunt Dong, then...that is the Second Young Master!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Jiudong couldn't bear it any longer, and blurted out: "Every time I look for you, I speak clearly, what do you still say, 'Second Young Master is ill, what does Yinyan Pavilion have to do with us' , don't think I don't remember!"

"I'm wronged!" Lian Cha cried, "Jiu Dong, are you sure you've identified the wrong person? Master and Madam, I really don't remember this—"

Aunt Dong nodded Liancha's head severely, and said sadly: "You unruly girl, how many times have I told you that Wenqiu Pavilion is remote, and I may not be able to take good care of it on weekdays. Once someone comes looking for you, you must You brought me to see me personally, why are you just...not listening!" She turned to Xu Taihe and said in a sad voice, "Master, it's a concubine who is not well-served, no matter how the master punishes the concubine, the concubine will admit it! But the young miss If you insist that the concubine deliberately refuses to allow the doctor to treat the second young master, this is to kill the concubine unjustly, master!"

Seeing Aunt Dong start to cry, Xu Changying also started to wipe away tears, took Xu Xilu's hand and said, "Father, you don't know, my heart hurts so much seeing my second brother's sickness! I think, If Aunt Liu saw that the child she risked her life to suffer such a crime, she must be more sad than me..."

Xu Taihe, who had been indifferently watching the commotion of the crowd, finally changed his face slightly. At this moment, Mrs. Zhang suddenly said: "Chang Ying, why are you mentioning her now? Do you think your father is not disturbed enough?"

Xu Changying bit his lip and said nothing.

Xu Xilu had seen enough of the drama, so he stood up and bowed to Xu Taihe, "Father, my son's health has improved a lot, and I hope father will not pursue it too much. If it causes discord in the family, my son will feel very guilty."

The slightly tired Xu Taihe rubbed the center of his brows, and said to Zhang: "Yingyan Pavilion, you should be punished, and you must not tolerate it. As for how to punish, you will decide."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, "Master, don't worry."

Xu Taihe said again to the young master standing behind Mrs. Xie: "Let my nephew watch the joke."

"Master Shangshu speaks seriously." The son's voice was like a breeze, as clear and clean as his people, "I heard that my aunt has been ill recently, and I brought a local famous doctor from Puzhou this time, and she is currently living in Fuzhou. Qu Ge, let her take a look at the second young master, so as not to cause any problems."

Before Xu Taihe could express his opinion, Xu Changying said to Xu Xilu, "Thank you, sir."

Only then did Xu Xilu recall the name of this young gentleman——Xie Qingsu.

Xie Qingsu is the grandson of Xie Heng, and also the nephew of the Xie family.The Xie family has been childless for many years in the mansion, and she despises the girls and young masters of the Xu family, but only likes Xie Qingsu, a nephew.Xie Qingsu was invited to live in the Xu Mansion many times when he was young, and he was familiar with the young master and lady of the Xu Mansion.He has a very good appearance, and he comes from the Xie family of a scholarly family, with a natural arrogance of a scholar, even Xu Taihe admires him quite a lot.

Xu Xilu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Brother Qingsu."

Xie Qingsu only nodded slightly.

"I'll let that doctor go to Wenqiu Pavilion to have a look later." Xie said softly, "It's getting late, and the master is tired from running around for a few days, why don't you go back to your room to rest?" Only when facing Xu Taihe, Mrs. Xie has the delicacy of an ordinary woman.

Xu Taihe nodded, and said to the crowd: "Let's all disperse. Chang Ying, you should go home early."

Xu Changying was still not convinced, and he didn't want to put his beak too much, so he said, "Yes, father."

Back at Wenqiu Pavilion, Xu Xilu was a little restless for some reason.Jiu Dong was still yelling at Yin Yan Ge and the others with righteous indignation, not forgetting to scold Xing Nong, "Why are you so stupid, don't you know how to reason with that Lian Cha?"

Xing Nong said aggrievedly: "I really haven't seen Aunt Dong, what do you want me to say? You can talk so well, and I haven't seen the hype you said!"

Jiudong rolled up his sleeves, "Hey, you little girl..."

"Okay, shut up." Xu Xilu was disturbed by the quarrel, thinking that there would be a famous doctor coming later, so he asked Xing Nong: "The little things I asked you to give to Mr. Xie's family, Have you delivered it all?"
