Chapter 100 Return

The old lady had been a wife of a bandit chief, and had seen all sorts of storms. She knew nothing of her granddaughter bringing back two beggars. She immediately glanced at the servant, who had never seen the world, and said calmly, "I understand. Wait until the second young lady has settled the people, and then please ask the second young lady to come over."

Lin Hao instructed the steward: "Take Ah Xing and Xiao Yueliang to take a bath and change into clean clothes. Xiao Yueliang is sick, so arrange for him to take medicine and rest first..."

The steward nodded as he listened: "Don't worry, Second Miss, I will arrange it right away."

Lin Hao smiled at Ah Xing and said, "I'll go tell my family first and come back to see you later."

Ah Xing didn't say anything, obviously very nervous.

He couldn't help but be nervous.

In such a big place, such a bright room, and so many well-dressed people, he felt like an alien who had entered a fairyland, feeling terrified and at a loss, carrying his brother on his back.

Is this her home? Does she want them to stay here?

Seeing Ah Xing's nervousness, Lin said with a smile: "I will be back soon, just listen to the manager's arrangements."

"You--" Seeing Lin Hao turn around, Ah Xing took half a step after him.

Lin Hao turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ah Xing hesitated and shook his head.

"Then I'm leaving."

Ah Xing stared at Lin Hao's back as he disappeared at the door, and his whole body became more and more tense.

The steward was very polite to Ah Xing: "Little brother, please follow me."

Ah Xing had a blank expression on his face and tightened his hands behind his brother's back.

No matter how good this place looks, we can't be careless.

The steward frowned secretly.

Why would the second young lady bring two little beggars home? The older one looks a bit thorny. If he really stayed in the mansion as a servant, he would probably not be content.

Despite thinking so, the housekeeper did not dare to neglect the two brothers because they were brought back by Lin Hao himself, and ordered someone to help them take a bath.

What surprised the manager was that the two brothers looked quite good after bathing and changing clothes. Even though they were skinny, their facial features were still delicate.

Especially the older one, who looked about the same age as the second girl, and looked pretty after changing her clothes.

This is still exposed to the wind and sun, with no food to eat and no clothes to wear. If I can keep it for a while——

The steward shook his head violently, shaking off the sudden thought.

No way, no way, the second girl is not that kind of person.

Lin Hao brought someone home, so he naturally had to tell the elders. The old lady and Lin were also waiting curiously, especially Lin, who wanted to go over and take a look, but was stopped by the old lady.

As soon as Lin Hao entered the house, Lin pulled him over and said, "Ah Hao, I heard you brought two beggars back. What's going on?"

"I met them when I was strolling outside today. The elder brother's name is Ah Xing and the younger brother's name is Xiao Yueliang. The two brothers lived under a bridge. The younger brother was sick and was lying in a torn quilt. The elder brother gave his younger brother a steamed bun as hard as a stone as a treasure. I felt sad when I saw it, so I took them home..." Lin Hao told the whole story, concealing the fact that Ah Xing had snatched her purse.

Lin listened and sighed, "It's really pitiful. Ah Hao, you did the right thing. Bringing them home and giving them a simple meal is a good deed. How old are they?"

"Axing looks about my age, and Xiaoyue looks about five or six years old."

"I see." Lin thought for a moment, "Little Yueliang will be just like the other children in the mansion. She'll learn calligraphy from the teacher for a few years. As for what kind of job Ah Xing will assign her, Ah Hao, what do you think?"

Lin Hao was silent for a moment.

Lin smiled and said, "If you can't think of anything, just ask the manager to arrange it first."

Lin Hao pursed his lips and said his plan: "Mom, I didn't intend to let Brother Xing be a servant."

Lin was stunned and asked puzzledly: "Then what are your plans?"

Lin Hao blinked and looked at the old lady: "Grandma, mother, can Ah Xing be my sworn brother?"

Ah Xing saved her, and if she brought her savior home as a servant, she would be struck by lightning.

This time, the old lady and Mrs. Lin were both stunned.

They really didn't expect this arrangement.

After all, the general's mansion is not an ordinary family, so one must be cautious when adopting a child.

The old lady and Lin exchanged a glance, and the old lady asked, "Ah Hao, how did you come up with such an idea?"

Even if you are kind-hearted, you should have a bottom line. Could it be that your granddaughter has been fooled by someone?

Lin Hao also knew that this proposal would not be accepted immediately, so he said seriously: "Maybe it was fate in my previous life. When I saw Ah Xing, I felt that I needed a brother like this."

A voice came from the door: "What brother?"

Cheng Shu strode in and felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange.

"Shu'er is back." The old lady said with a smile.

Cheng Shu looked puzzled: "Did Ah Hao just talk about me?"

Lin Hao felt a little guilty.

I hope that big brother didn’t hear what she said just now about needing a brother?

Lin was always open-minded and said directly, "Ah Hao brought back two beggars today and wanted to recognize them as sworn brothers."

Cheng Shu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Hao with an accusing look: "Ah Hao, do you still remember your eldest brother who was on duty in the palace?"

He vaguely heard Ah Hao say that he needed a brother, and thought he had heard it wrong, but it turned out to be true!

It hurts!

Lin Hao reached out and grabbed Cheng Shu's sleeve, smiling sweetly: "Brother, you are my real brother in my heart. No one can compare to you."

Cheng Shu nodded subconsciously.

That being said, it's okay.

The old lady sighed secretly as she watched the interaction between the brother and sister.

Chan'er will marry into the royal family next year. She hopes that Ahao and Shu'er can get together, and that the two children will inherit the general's mansion and live a stable life.

Now it seems there is no hope.

Cheng Shu was delighted by Lin Hao's coaxing, but he still worried: "Ah Hao, do you understand them? Once you recognize your sworn brother, he becomes your family, but it's different from raising a few people in your house."

"Your elder brother is right." Lin followed.

She was not prepared to suddenly have two more sons.

"Mom, if you're worried, just acknowledge the relationship between me and Ah Xing, and don't change the others, okay?"

Mrs. Lin always doted on her daughter. She was defeated by Lin Hao's pleading eyes and looked at the old lady.

The old lady insisted: "Let's call Ah Xing to come and see."

It’s okay to only recognize the relationship between the two children, but I feel uneasy since I haven’t met them in person.

In fact, the old lady and Mrs. Lin really believed in Lin's good vision.

You have to know that it was Ah Hao who discovered that Wen Rugui had a mistress, and it was also Ah Hao who discovered that the Prince of Pingjia was all show and no substance. Ah Hao couldn't just trust someone because he was a bad person and doubt someone because he was a good person.

What made the old lady and Mrs. Lin unable to make up their minds was that they felt it was too hasty. Even if the child was a good one, there was no need to make them siblings.

Not long after, Ah Xing was brought over. Not only the old lady and the others, even Ah Hao couldn't help but open his eyes wide and stare at Ah Xing intently.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse.

Lin suddenly understood her daughter's decision: It would be a good idea to have such a beautiful child as a brother!

The old lady was a little startled, thinking to herself that this young man was truly too handsome, even more so than Wen Rugui back then. Taking such a young man into her house and recognizing him as her sworn brother was actually a good thing.

The old lady was afraid of the rope after being bitten by a snake once. She didn't want her granddaughter to fall in love with the man simply because of his appearance like her daughter did.

I admit it, I admit it.
