Chapter 229 The Fifth Young Master vs. Jiang Yi

"Get up!" Zhou Xiaoyao shouted at him. "I was born to be useful. How can a man of nine feet tall cry over such a small blow? If you do this, how much will your sister, a woman, bear?"

Originally he wanted to say "weak woman", but these two words really had nothing to do with Jiang Yi.

"If I were not here, my sister could find a son-in-law and wouldn't have to be burdened by a fool like me for the rest of her life." Jiang Quan expressed the thoughts in his mind that he had never told anyone before.

"Yes, it's true that your sister can marry a son-in-law and inherit the family business. But if she is betrayed in the future, who can she turn to? You are her only relative and care in this world. Even if you are useless, as long as you are here, her home will be there."

How did my sister persuade me, who was tired of the world, back then?

My sister said, "Your mother worked so hard to give birth to you after ten months of pregnancy, and then you were taken away without even a second glance. She didn't even have time to rest for the next month before she was kicked out of the Zhou Mansion. If life were easy, who would want to be someone's concubine, a mere beast of burden, just to bear children?"

She said, "Fifth Young Master, when you feel miserable, think about how your mother is suffering. I know a woman named Sun who cried so hard for her deceased grandson that she almost went blind. Your mother misses you and yearns for you. You must go find her and let her see the child she carried for ten months and gave birth to with one foot in the gates of hell! You are the one in this world who cares about her the most, and only you can save her from her suffering."

But sister, I am really useless.

I didn't find my mother, although I tried my best.

"Get up!" Zhou Xiaoyao said to Jiang Quan, "Fix what's broken. If this road doesn't work, try another. Stand up as a man, and don't let your sister always charge into battle for you! Fight back against those who bully you! Your father and brothers are watching over you from heaven, don't bring shame upon their reputation! If you like being a pioneer, then be one! You can still achieve great things, comfort your father and brothers, and put your sister at ease."

Jiang Yi was behind the bamboo forest, with a misty look in his eyes.

She knew that her brother had never been happy.

But no matter how she asked, she couldn't get the truth out of him. She only became more distressed about why her brother became more and more withdrawn as he grew up.

She vaguely knew that her brother was not sociable, but she didn't know that the bullying had reached this level.

Her brother never mentioned it to her and acted as if nothing had happened in front of her.

It turns out that my brother actually had so many grievances in his heart.

This fool, why didn't you tell her?

She hopes that her brother will be the commander of an army, but if her brother is happy to be a vanguard, she will not object!

She didn't expect that she would almost become the straw that broke the camel's back for her brother.

I didn't expect that someone as lonely as Zhou Xiaoyao could be so enthusiastic and help persuade his brother.

Jiang Yi was full of gratitude towards Zhou Xiaoyao.

She knew that it was not appropriate for her to go out in this situation.

Sometimes, communication is easier between men.

"I can't. If I tell my sister I just want to be a vanguard, she'll be disappointed. I think if I join the Black Armor Army, even if I'm just a vanguard, it'll be better. But I'm a loser. I really can't learn those military tactics."

In addition to testing their martial arts skills, the Black Armor Army also has tests on military tactics.

He's stuck here.

"If you can't learn well, then keep learning." Zhou Xiaoyao said, "Although my grades were decent before, I really became famous after I met my mentor. My mentor is not a great scholar, and he even failed the exams many times himself, but he is very good at teaching and educating people. You can talk to your sister and try a different master, or you can ask Xiao Yan for help and guidance."

"Xiao Yan? That's not good, my sister and he were once-"

"It's nothing. They've reconciled, so there's no need for you to be so hung up on her. Besides, Xiao Yan has married someone else now and lives a happy life, so he won't be holding on to her anymore. When Xiao Yan's wife got into trouble, your sister took the initiative to help her. Now, you're probably the only one who can't let go."

And me.

Zhou Xiaoyao said silently in his heart.

"Is that so? My sister never told me."

"It's normal that she doesn't want to talk about it. But no matter how others view her, you must protect her. Because she has never wronged you. You are the person in this world who should protect her unconditionally. Mr. Jiang, you are so childish because she protected you too well."

"What do those cold words mean? Your father and brother faced the bloody storm without blinking an eye. Why are you backing down?"

"Next time, beat them up severely. If they dare to do it again, beat them up again. Even if it comes to the Emperor, you are not afraid!"

My sister said that although the eldest lady is powerful, there are still ancestors above her.

You are the grandson of our ancestor, and he cannot bear to see you being bullied to death.

Jiang Quan gritted his teeth and nodded, then stood up and bowed solemnly to Zhou Xiaoyao. "Thanks to Master Zhou's help today, I have gained a lot of enlightenment. I will definitely come to express my gratitude one day."

"That's not necessary, it's just a piece of cake."

I'm just passing on what my sister gave me.

Jiang Yi retreated quietly.

She remembered this favor from Zhou Xiaoyao!

When it got dark, the palace banquet in the water pavilion began.

Yun Ting has been serving the empress dowager and making her smile from ear to ear.

"Grandma, I've prepared a great gift for you," he said proudly. "Please take a look at it!"

"What new things have you come up with to amuse me, you monkey? If you make me laugh, I will reward you handsomely."

Everyone: Is this appropriate?

You're already so happy even though it's not even out yet.

Sure enough, no one was more favored by the Queen Mother than Yun Ting.

Just look at the envious looks in the eyes of the princes and you will know.

The prince had not returned from his trip south yet, and the remaining people present were all jealous.

"Look here! Come on, get ready—Grandma, look towards the center of the lake, stare at it, don't blink—"

The time has come to witness a miracle.
