C1 The Eldest Son of the Xiao Family
C1 The Eldest Son of the Xiao Family
Under the candlelight, Xiao Yun sat up straight. The purple cloud turned into a cockroach's leg and drew a line of horrible looking words on the top-grade Xuan paper of the Luxiang House.
After thinking for a while, he finished the first sentence.
"Today, I've recovered from my illness, and I met my big uncle and grandfather. It was a harmonious relationship, and I was kind and filial to them. It was a harmonious and harmonious relationship. Ah, what a beautiful and meaningful day! "
He put down the brush, picked up the paper, and sized it up with satisfaction.
Even though the words were a bit ugly, compared to a few days ago, he could finally recognize what was written. It could be considered a great improvement.
He casually lit the paper on the candle flame and threw it into the copper basin.
"Who is good enough to write a diary? How can a diary be true? "
Xiao Yun had also thought about death and his future life seriously in his previous life.
In his previous life, his identity and actions must have fallen into the 18 layers of hell. He must have been burned for 3,000 years, fried for 3,000 years, and then thrown into the Animal Path. He would need 81 cycles of reincarnation to be able to reincarnate.
In fact, death was like sleeping to him.
When he woke up, he was already in this world.
He had become Little Master of the Xiao family in Great Qin Country, a hereditary count, and his family property.
As long as the old man of the Xiao family, who was now a rank two assistant minister, did not fall, he could be the young master of the Xiao family for the rest of his life.
However, there would always be some bullsh * t things about the wealthy families.
It was the complete opposite of his diary.
Xiao Yun was the eldest grandson of the second family, the only son of the Xiao family, but his parents died early, so he was raised under the name of the eldest son, Xiao Wansheng.
The eldest son, Xia, had come to the eldest son's room. The eldest son's name had been snatched away by Xiao Yun for no reason, so it was only natural that he bore a grudge against him.
Coincidentally, Xiao Yun had a strange illness, and he was still alive after death.
This drew out many rumors from the outside world.
Some said that he was sick in a brothel, while others said that he was addicted to alcohol and sex, and that he had emptied his body.
Some said that Old Master Xiao had committed a sin when he was young, and his karma was with his children and grandchildren.
The most brilliant second son and his wife had died on the battlefield.
Now, only this spoiled little grandson was left behind, and he also suffered from an unknown illness.
All of this was retribution!
Of course, there was also an extremely rich imagination in the marketplace.
It said that Xiao Yun had been poisoned by Xia!
There were also people who confidently said that Xia had bought something from the foreign merchants before, perhaps it was poison.
They were all lawsuits from big families, and no one could say for sure.
Today, when he went to see his elders, Xia was also there, he didn't even bother to pretend.
"Brother Yun, look at what you've done! It's fine if you bully men and bully women. It's fine if Liu Lian Street is Liu An, but you don't pay back what you owe? But now you're suffering from such an unclean disease? He made the entire Xiao mansion the laughing stock of the capital. How do you think you should face your ancestors? It's a total disgrace! The Xiao family had been established for a hundred years, and countless ancestors had sacrificed their lives to obtain a good reputation. It was destroyed by you, completely destroyed!"
Before the elders could say anything, Xia had already rushed forward and pointed at Xiao Yun's nose, scolding him.
If it was the usual cowardly Xiao Yun, he would naturally not say a word.
But now, this body had changed its owner.
Xiao Yun raised his head to look at Xia and said coldly, "Fame? Now that all the elders in this room are here, as a junior, you are the one who spoke first and accused me of being innocent. If you want to say that you are shameful, you are the one who should be ashamed, aren't you?"
"You!"
Xia was startled. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Xiao Wansheng and the old man from the Xiao family. He was somewhat flustered.
"Hey, Yun Er, don't say that. Xia is one of us, and he is also your elder brother. You are the one who did the wrong thing first. It is not a big deal for him to teach you a lesson. Instead, it is you who contradicts your elder brother... Sigh, I really shouldn't have. "
Xiao Wansheng kept sighing, and he looked like he was angry that he did not want to fight.
Xia had a backbone now, and he immediately shouted, "Xiao Yun! At this point, you still don't know your mistakes? "
"Wrong?"
Xiao Yun snorted and said, "What did I do wrong? I almost died. How did it become my fault? But I heard that I was poisoned, and you happened to buy the poison... "
" Bullshit! Blood slanders!"
Xia said angrily, "What poison? You are clearly the one who has been infected with an unclean disease in Liu Lane, and now you not only do not know your wrongs, but you still want to deny it?"
Eldest Uncle Xiao Wansheng also sighed and said, "Yun'er, we are all family. How can you say something like poison? Sigh, you have disappointed me too much!"
Xiao Yun's anger rushed straight to his head, and he said loudly, "Wrong? My brother said that I bullied men and women. Where is the evidence? Whose man did I bully, and whose woman did I occupy? I have indeed been to Flower Street and Willow Lane, but since when did I owe flesh money? On the contrary, my brothers used my name to remember the bill in the brothel, right? Why don't we call the procuress and the turtlemaid over, and we will confront them face to face. Let's see who is the one who owes the money! I'm afraid you owe the most out of all of them, Xia."
" Nonsense! "
Xia roared in anger, "You said we were going to Flower Street and Willow Lane? Why didn't we get sick? Instead, it was you who got that disgusting disease! "
" Disease? " Xiao Yun sneered and said, "Who knows what illness I got? Besides finding a drunk doctor to take a look at me, who else has taken a look at me? I can only lie on the bed and wait for my death. Who cares about me? Now that I've recovered, you're saying that I have a serious illness. What nonsense are you talking about?"
" Bastard! You've caused trouble yourself. Now, you're the one who's in the right now, aren't you? How can you talk to your big brother? What kind of place is this? This is the ancestral hall! How can I allow you to shout and make a scene? "
Xiao Wansheng, who was sitting at the side, suddenly stood up and started scolding loudly.
"That's good," Xiao Yun said. "It's said that you and your father are not biological, but I don't think so. One of you is suspected of poisoning your relatives, while the other is biased towards protecting your own family. You are the biological father and son."
"How dare you!"
Xiao Wansheng shouted loudly.
Xia rushed over and shouted as he attacked, "You little beast, I'll kill you today, so that you won't ruin Xiao family's reputation in the future!"
"Are you afraid of me?"
Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart.
Since Xia wanted to attack, he couldn't be blamed for being ruthless.
"Alright!"
Right at this moment, the silent Old Master Xiao finally spoke.
Xiao Wansheng and Xia were stunned. They looked at each other and returned to their seats.
Old Master Xiao let out a long sigh.
"I have let down your parents in the past. I have indeed spoiled you too much these years. However, since you have just recovered from your serious illness, I will remember the punishment first. All of you can leave now."
"Father! We cannot let this little beast go back. Today, he dares..."
"Enough! I'll continue!"
Xiao Wansheng finally shut his mouth in the face of Old Master Xiao's fury. He gave Xiao Yun a fierce glare and left with Xia.
Xiao Yun looked at Old Master Xiao and didn't say anything else. He also flicked his sleeve and left the room.
The moment he left the room, the angry expression on his face disappeared and became cold and indifferent.
Strange.
Very strange!
Although the Xiao family had many heirs, he was the only one left in the direct line of descent. He was the only one who could inherit the family business.
Why was Old Master Xiao not only not protecting him, he was also siding with an outsider?
There must be something wrong with the situation!
There must be something that he didn't know about.
He actually knew that such verbal arguments were meaningless.
If you couldn't wake up a person pretending to be asleep, you wouldn't be able to tell which uncle was pretending to be stupid.
Now, the reason why he was arguing was because he wanted to see how the elders of the Xiao family treated him.
As for the result... it disappointed him.
It seemed like he could only rely on himself for the future!
At the same time, Xiao Wansheng and Xia returned to the study and closed the doors and windows.
"Father, why didn't you take advantage of this opportunity to kill him? Or perhaps... Get out? In the past, he had always been submissive, and it was hard for us to find a chance. Now that he had finally contradicted him with great difficulty, it was a good opportunity to punish him. How can we let him go so easily?"
"Silly child!"
Facing Xia's questioning, Xiao Wansheng somewhat angrily shook his head.
"We can't rush this kind of thing. The old man isn't dead yet. This family really isn't up to us to decide. However, judging from the old man's attitude today, he must be extremely disappointed in Xiao Yun. However, I'm afraid he still has some hope. It will be his evaluation in a few days! It was said that the old man pulled down his pride this time and went to beg Prime Minister Lee. But if Xiao Yun obtained the lower three grades in the evaluation, he would not be able to become an official. If he did not take the lower three grades, the old man would be completely disappointed in him. At that time, it will be a piece of cake for us to deal with him. "
Xia was pleasantly surprised and immediately said, "Father is right!"
" Sigh, as the saying goes, when you shoot a person, you shoot the horse first. When you do things, you must ask for the bottom line. You have learned this, hahaha! "
After laughing a few times, Xiao Wansheng said again, "This evaluation cannot have any mishaps. You might as well contact your good friends and let them secretly do something."
Xia immediately said, "Father, I have prepared for this long ago! I have already found Little Master from the Zhao family. He is also going to participate in the evaluation at Prime Minister Lee's place. Hehe. "
" Zhao family? En, if we look at their family background, the Zhao family is indeed like the sun in the sky, but can Little Master Zhao really agree to it? "
"There's something that father doesn't know. This little trash of ours... He can't do anything else, but he really knows how to offend others. He had a few verbal exchanges with Little Master Zhao before, and it was said that he had even made a move against him. There has always been enmity between the two of them!"
" Oh? Haha, that's wonderful! If that's the case, no matter what Little Master Zhao did, it would be their personal grudge. It has nothing to do with you and me."
" Father is wise! "
"Hahahaha!"
Xiao Yun naturally could not hear Xiao Wansheng's wild laughter.
For the next few days, he had been practicing his calligraphy.
This was very difficult.
It was harder than training in his previous life. It was more difficult than carrying out missions.
After all, the path of calligraphy required talent.
And Xiao Yun's talent was killing!
During the day, he secretly tempered his body, and at night, he practiced calligraphy. With the help of the faint candlelight, his calligraphy seemed to be much easier to read.
Suddenly, a night breeze blew in, giving off a cold feeling.
Immediately after, rain started to fall from the sky.
"Finally, it's here."
