Chapter 5 Goodbye Little Jiji

You, Wei Zheng, dare to insult me ​​indirectly!

Li Shimin was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

But as long as the matter remains undisclosed, he has to continue playing along.

"This is outrageous! Who is this person?" Li Shimin slammed his hand on the dragon table.

"Your Majesty, I don't know that man, but he left behind a jade pendant."

"Shuyu is so considerate of me that he gave me the jade pendant as well."

As he spoke, Wei Zheng revealed the jade pendant at his waist: "Your Majesty, do I look good wearing this?"

You big dummy!

How could you not recognize my personal jade pendant?

Li Shimin was furious.

Now he understood that Wei Zheng was just there to annoy him.

Unfortunately, he was in the wrong, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

"nice!"

Li Shimin clenched his fist, veins bulging, and gritted his teeth as he spat out two words.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I also think it looks quite nice. I plan to wear it to court every day from now on."

Wei Zheng nodded seriously: "For the sake of the jade pendant, we will let bygones be bygones for that person's bullying of Shuyu."

And he wears my jade pendant every day?

You old scoundrel, are you planning to come and annoy me every day?

"Minister Wei is very magnanimous." Li Shimin's eyes were practically spitting fire.

"By the way, what did His Majesty do today?"

"Enjoy the scenery!"

Where can we enjoy it?

"Is there anything else?"

"It's gone."

"Um."

"Your Majesty, do you think this jade pendant is beautiful?"

"..."

After a while, Wei Zheng left the Lizheng Hall with his head held high.

I vaguely heard the sound of a teacup shattering behind me...

The next day.

Wei Shuyu slept until he naturally woke up.

I stretched as I went outside; the weather was sunny and breezy—a beautiful day.

"Oh my, young master, what are you still doing at home?"

The housekeeper, who was sweeping the floor, saw Wei Shuyu and hurriedly dropped his broom.

"Where else could I be if I'm not home?" Wei Shuyu rolled his eyes.

"The Imperial College!"

Wei Shuyu was stunned.

I'm only eleven years old, which seems to be the age for going to school.

"Don't panic."

Wei Shuyu calmly waved his hand.

"This old servant is not flustered, but I'm afraid that the master will be furious when he finds out about this." The steward was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Calm down." Wei Shuyu changed the subject: "Do you have a tailor in your family?"

"some."

“Bring him to me.”

The butler did not move.

"Why aren't you going yet?"

"That is the old servant."

"Oh? I didn't realize that."

"Young master is too kind. Those patches on the master's official robes were sewn by this old servant."

"..."

Uncle Wei took out a set of clothes from inside the house: "Cut it here, sew it up here, make sure it looks good..."

As a special forces soldier, he really couldn't get used to wearing a long robe; it was too cumbersome.

"Don't worry, young master!"

After the steward left, Wei Shuyu exercised for a while longer.

I overslept yesterday because I used up too much energy; I need to catch up.

After exercising, he took some pancakes from the kitchen and ate them; he didn't find them unpalatable.

When carrying out missions, what haven't we eaten—snakes, insects, rats, ants… anything that can provide nutrition?

"Young master, it's ready."

The housekeeper quickly brought over a T-shirt and pants.

Wei Shuyu changed into it on the spot.

I must say, the butler's craftsmanship is really good; even the dimensions are perfect.

"Young Master, aren't you afraid of being pointed at and gossiped about dressed like that?" the butler asked hesitantly.

Will I lose a piece of my flesh if people point fingers at me?

"Uh...no."

"That settles it."

At lunchtime.

Wei Shuyu met Pei Shi and then experienced a period of care from his mother.

Oh, no, that's not right.

It must be because he cares about his mother.

Pei Shi, heavily pregnant, began to tear up when she saw the injuries on his body.

How can you get emotional when you're carrying such a big belly?

It took Wei Shuyu a great deal of effort to make Pei Shi stop crying and start laughing.

Ah, women...

It will only slow down my draw speed.

To avoid being bothered by Pei again, Wei Shuyu went out for a stroll.

As he walked down the street, people cast strange glances at him.

There's no way around it, Wei Shuyu's outfit is just too... too manly.

He wore a short-sleeved shirt, capri pants, cloth shoes, and a cloth belt around his waist.

Except the T-shirt is sewn on...

At first glance, you might mistake him for a blacksmith's son.

As he was walking, Wei Shuyu suddenly stopped.

A mummy suddenly appeared ahead, limping out of Huangyun Tower.

"Little Jiji." Wei Shuyu waved and greeted him.

Choi Shin-ki turned his head stiffly, and when he saw Wei Shu-yu, he was so frightened that he ran away as fast as he could.

His limping, flustered manner caused him to bump into several pedestrians.

Why are you running?

Wei Shuyu immediately gave chase.

Soon, Choi Shin-ki was pinned to the ground, looking utterly dejected.

"B-Big brother, what's wrong?" Choi Shin-ki was on the verge of tears, having fallen into the hands of this little devil again.

"Didn't you hear me calling you?" Wei Shuyu raised his hand and slapped him.

Choi Shin-ki pointed to the gauze on his head and explained, "I had too much on, I didn't hear you clearly."

"Then why are you running?"

"Exercise."

Oh ho?

He's quick-witted.

Choi Shin-ki had no choice. Once he fell into Wei Shu-yu's hands, he couldn't afford to let Wei Shu-yu find any fault with him, or he would get beaten up.

"I don't remember hitting you that hard yesterday, what happened to you?"

Wei Shuyu lifted Cui Shenji off the ground.

"Waaah..."

Choi Shin-ki's eyes immediately turned red.

This is a past he doesn't want to revisit...

Yesterday, I was first beaten up by Wei Shuyu, then by Cheng Yaojin, and when I got home, I was beaten up by my parents.

Getting beaten up three times a day, even a god couldn't withstand it.

My condolences.

Wei Shuyu patted the other person on the shoulder.

"Big brother, can I go now?" Choi Shin-ki asked timidly.

"What's the rush?" Wei Shuyu grabbed the other man by the back of his collar. "You're injured like this, why are you still wandering around?"

"And what was that Huangyunlou restaurant you just came from?"

Choi Shin-ki stammered and refused to answer.

*Smack*

Wei Shuyu's head was completely full of thoughts.

"If you hesitate any longer, I'll beat you up."

"That was a gambling den."

sure.

Gambling at only eleven years old?

Wei Shuyu glanced at Cui Shenji.

"How much did you earn?"

"I didn't make any money, I didn't make any money..." Choi Shin-ki waved his hands repeatedly.

*Smack*

Wei Shuyu was full of questions again.

"You still dare to lie?"

"Waaah... I only managed to earn a tiny bit."

"Give it to me." Wei Shuyu reached out his hand.

"Didn't we already pay your medical expenses?"

"Protection fees!"

Holy crap...

Choi Shin-ki's eyes widened like saucers.

"Unwilling?" Wei Shuyu raised an eyebrow.

"How...how much?" When you encounter this demon, you can't avoid losing some blood.

"Hand it all over."

Choi Shin-ki immediately jumped up and said, "Wei Shu-yu, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're good at fighting!"

Snap snap snap...

After being smacked three times on the head, Choi Shin-ki immediately backed down: "Can you do less?"

"Take it out first."

"Waaah... Big brother, I played ten times and lost nine times. I finally won once, and you want to take it all away?"

"Enough with the nonsense!"

Under Wei Shuyu's tyrannical power, Cui Shenji hesitantly pulled out five copper coins from his pocket...

"Just five coins?" Wei Shuyu raised his hand to strike.

"Don't hit them, there really aren't that many..."

Choi Shin-ki shrank his neck.

Seeing that Wei Shuyu didn't believe him, Cui Shenji hurriedly added, "We lost all nine previous rounds, so there's only a little left."

"So how much did you earn?"

Choi Shin-ki extended one index finger.

"One article?"

"Um."

"How much did you lose in the previous nine games?"

Choi Shin-ki held up two fingers.

"Twenty coins?"

Choi Shin-ki shook his head.

"Two hundred coins?"

Choi Shin-ki shook his head.

"Two strings?"

Choi Shin-ki shook his head again.

Snap!

Wei Shuyu was completely bewildered: "What's the point of having a mouth on your body?"

"Two...two hundred strings of cash."

Holy crap.

Even Wei Shuyu was shocked, unsure whether to praise or scold Choi Sin-ki.

You think you have a good mentality? You still managed to lose two hundred coins.

You have a bad mentality; you lost two hundred strings of cash, but you're satisfied with making just one penny.

What does two hundred strings of cash mean...?

That's equivalent to two hundred thousand copper coins!

"Come on, I'll help you earn the money back!"

Upon hearing the mention of Choi Sin-ki, Wei Shuyu headed straight for Huang Yunlou without further ado!

If you dare bully my little brother, I'll break your legs!
