Chapter 11 Third Brother Gambling
Mrs. Xu couldn't swallow this breath in her heart.
"Delay?" Mrs. Xu smiled softly and put down the tea cup in her hand.
"In order to save her, Yanshu was exhausted and fell into the water. After she was rescued, she hid in the rockery, delaying Yanshu. When Yanshu was rescued, he was already out of breath. The narrow rescue effort also damaged his brain. People He has also become disabled, Lord Marquis, Yanshu, such a smart boy, how can you say such things? He was so talented back then, who in the capital didn't praise him!" Mrs. Xu only felt sorry for her son.
"It was not intentional for the little girl to fall into the water. She was hiding because she was afraid. The matter of Yanshu is a foregone conclusion. Is it possible that because of this matter, there will be a gap between you and your colleagues? Yun Niang, I am having a hard time in the court, please think about it for me. "
After getting married, she felt Lu Yuanze's neglect, so she often forced him to study with inkstones.
When Yan Shu was just a few years old, she felt sorry for her mother. She stayed up all night reading until her eyes were red, just to gain face for her in front of her father.
The corners of Xu's mouth drooped: "No one is qualified to apologize for Yan Shu."
"Anyone who says forgive is going to drown in the pool. Only if you are in the same situation as my son can you empathize." Mrs. Xu said calmly.
Lu Yuanze frowned slightly, feeling that the gentle and virtuous lady had changed.
No longer respect him in everything.
Come to think of it, I was angry at him for neglecting her during this period of time, and deliberately wanted to attract my attention.
Lu Yuanze glanced at his angry mother and shook his head gently.
"Okay, if Yun Niang doesn't forgive, then I won't forgive." He patted Mrs. Xu's hand gently.
After a while, Mrs. Xu withdrew on the grounds that Chaochao was breastfeeding.
Before leaving the house, I heard a soft voice inside the house.
"I have to force you to go over and make such a big mistake. How about now? Are you scared of your dear grandson?" The old lady spoke full of intimacy and concern.
A rare hint of dissatisfaction.
Xu's footsteps paused slightly, and Dengzhi heard this and couldn't help but blushing with anger.
"The eldest son is still lying in the house, but they are still thinking about what's going on outside..."
"Be careful what you say!" Mrs. Xu glanced around, then Dengzhi shut up gloomily.
"Where is the young master?" Xu pinched the corners of her eyes and couldn't help but ask.
The maid beside him came out and reported, "I have a rest today. The young master must be reading in Tinglan Garden."
Xu took a few people to Tinglan Garden.
There was a young man standing outside the hanging flower door. He saw a large group of people approaching from a distance and immediately ran into the house.
[The boy is going to report a message]
[My good brother is doing good things...] Xiao Chaochao waved his paws with excitement on his face.
Mrs. Xu's steps instantly quickened: "Stop the young man." As soon as she finished speaking, someone rushed up and kicked the young man to the ground, and pinned him to the ground without moving.
"I saw Madam, why did you run away in a panic?" Dengzhi said angrily.
The boy was trembling, looking anxious. Mrs. Xu didn't say anything, raised her legs and rushed in.
Walking outside the door, you can hear the muffled rustling sound.
"Open it up, open it up..."
"big big big!"
The boy who was being held in custody had a pale complexion and his calves were trembling.
Dengzhi went to knock on the door, but Mrs. Xu raised her hand to stop her. She couldn't care less about the style of the mistress of aristocratic family. She's just an angry mother now.
As soon as he raised his foot, he kicked the door open.
"I'm going to die. I'm scaring the young master so that you can look good!"
"Who is looking for death? Be careful..." Lu Yuanxiao was holding the dice in one hand and the money in the other. His eyes were red, as if he was a gambler.
When he raised his head, he saw Mrs. Xu with a gloomy expression looking at him coldly.
Snap.
The dice rolled to the floor.
Lu Yuanxiao was originally red-eyed because of gambling, but when he saw Mrs. Xu, his rationality suddenly came back. I felt a cold air rushing straight into the sky, and my face turned pale.
Lu Yuanxiao's knees softened and he knelt on the ground.
His body trembled slightly.
Behind him was a boy kneeling on the ground.
Mrs. Xu gasped for air, and the air was almost sucked out of her whole body, as if someone had pinched her throat.
"You...you..." Xu's eyes were filled with dizziness.
If it wasn't for Chao Chao, how long would she have been kept secret?
"Madam..." Dengzhi was frightened.
"Young master, you are confused." Even Yingxue was shocked that a child of only eight years old could actually take the gamble.
"How long have you been gambling?" Mrs. Xu's voice was trembling. Denzhi supported her and she reluctantly sat down.
Lu Yuanxiao had never seen his mother look like this before. His mother's disappointed and shocked eyes almost left him unable to hide.
He said with a cry: "Mom, it was my son who was wrong. My son only studied for three days." Three days ago, the rosy-faced boy now had dark eyes, dry skin on the corners of his mouth, and even his usually fresh hair. It has a grayish color.
"You love to have fun, but you are extremely naughty. My mother thinks you are young and never cares about you. But how can you get involved in gambling at such a young age?"
"How dare you, this harmful thing!" Mrs. Xu almost gritted her teeth.
"Who taught you this?" Mrs. Xu was so angry that her heart was numb. The two boys and two book boys beside him were all selected from thousands of people.
In the corner, a tied little book boy whined.
There was still a ball of towel stuffed in his mouth, so Jue Xia immediately stepped forward to untie him.
The little book boy's hair was messy and he immediately knelt on the ground: "Madam, it's Qing Yu and Qing Yan."
"That day, the young master came back to study in high spirits, but was quite tired until late at night. Qing Yu used the excuse of relaxing to teach the young master how to gamble."
"Qingyan said small gambling is a pleasure, but big gambling is harmful to the body. He doesn't gamble money, he just relaxes and has fun."
"The young one tried to comfort the young master, but Qingyu and Qingyan coaxed the young master and tied up the slave."
There were two bookboys and two boys beside Lu Yuanxiao.
Qingyu Qingyan was eloquent and literate, so he stayed here as a book boy to guide Lu Yuanxiao in his studies.
Two young servants, Qingfeng and Qingshu, took care of daily life and waited on them personally.
These two book boys were given by the old lady!
"Come here, kill these two people who betrayed their master with a cane as a warning! Let all the servants in the house watch the whole process before leaving!" Mrs. Xu was magnanimous and had never been so angry.
The two book boys were gagged and dragged out. He could only look at Lu Yuanxiao with pleading eyes.
Lu Yuanxiao wanted to beg for mercy. Since he was three years old, these two book boys have followed him and have become indispensable playmates.
[These two people are not innocent at all. He has been with his third brother since he was a child with a mission, all just to support him. 】
[Take him to gamble, take him to skip school, take him to insult the master, and push the third brother to the forefront. 】
Lu Yuanxiao was stunned, as if he was dumbfounded. Hearing these words, he instantly swallowed the begging for mercy on his lips.
The Xu family purged all the servants around Lu Yuanxiao.
"Qingshu, Qingfeng, you did a good job this time. Starting from this month, the monthly silver will be doubled. Watch the Lantern Festival carefully for me." Mrs. Xu asked someone to get another fifty taels of silver as a reward.
Lu Yuanxiao was so lost that Xu didn't even look at him.
"Ask all the servants to go outside the Deshan Hall to see the stick death." Mrs. Xu's eyes were slightly cold.
