Chapter 595 Xu Minghui is dead, who will take over the things he was in charge of?
Xu Minghui could no longer recall the details of how the rumor unfolded.
But for him, the pain of the past night was invisible and long-lasting.
After a night of camping in the wild, Xu Yu walked out of the tent refreshed and stretched. When he went to the river to wash his face, he saw Xu Minghui standing quietly on the river bank like a statue.
Xu Minghui turned his head quietly, and the two large dark spots under his eyes inexplicably made Xu Yu smile: "Oh, you must have been tossing and turning, thinking about it like crazy, and didn't sleep all night?"
The resentment in Xu Minghui's eyes almost turned into reality. He said with a forced smile: "Yes, I didn't sleep all night and I was thinking about you the whole time."
I wonder why I didn’t find a chance to kill Xu Yu back then.
I wonder why that bastard Xu Yu is still alive.
I wonder what I got in return for my kindness and leniency.
After deep reflection, Xu Minghui sincerely felt that it was such a waste that he still had the last bit of conscience left for someone like Xu Yu.
He should have known long ago that his fate with Xu Yu was a fight to the death!
One must die!
Xu Yu was inexplicably disgusted by the cheesiness and got goose bumps all over his body. He felt the river water splash on his face and his disgust was evident in his words: "Don't."
"I'm too tough to stand your lingering thoughts. How can I compare to the sincere and affectionate confidante you've been rumored to have?"
Unlike the others who believed it, Xu Yu guessed from the beginning that Jiang Yubai was talking nonsense.
But there is definitely some basis for the speculation, but the facts are definitely very different from what Jiang Yubai described.
But so what?
Xu Minghui's excitement, is he crazy not to watch it?
Xu Yu knew what was going on and just wanted to watch the show. As he admired Xu Minghui's visibly haggard appearance, he felt more and more satisfied.
"Speaking of which, your longing for me is really overwhelming. Are you so unabashed about it?"
"Once someone sees it, who knows, there might be even more people gossiping about it."
Wouldn’t that be more lively and interesting?
Xu Yu's eyes were full of anticipation, and he made no secret of his wolfish ambitions.
Xu Minghui was so angry that his back teeth almost wore off. He said word by word, "Do you think I don't want to sleep?"
"Do you know how long I was tortured last night?"
"Do you know how much trouble your blurt-out line about a man having responsibilities has caused me?!"
Second Aunt Xu scolded him until midnight last night. When she finally stopped because she was sleepy, Xu Minghui's mind was no longer his own.
In his extreme trance, Xu Minghui even began to waver in his resolve, and couldn't help but wonder if he had done something while unconscious...
After a night of river wind that had cooled him completely, Xu Minghui came to a bitter realization with a blank expression: "Xu Yu, I'm going to kill you sooner or later."
Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Yubai Dog whizzed to the side. Xu Minghui concluded with a dull face: "And you."
Jiang Yubai: "..."
What do you mean?
Jiang Yubai forced a dry laugh, winked at Xu Yu, and stiffened his neck to defend himself: "I'm not just making up stories."
"You and Nan Weiwei are..."
"Please, shut up, okay?"
Xu Minghui closed his eyes with a look of despair and said, "Do you want to see me jump into the river?"
"If I jump in and drown, that would be the end of everything!"
Xu Minghui's life or death doesn't matter.
But now that Xu Minghui is dead, who will take over the things he was in charge of?
Jiang Yubai knew what to do and kept his mouth shut.
Xu Yu also changed his previous harsh and vicious attitude, grabbed Jiang Yubai and left decisively: "Little Prince, let's go and wash somewhere else."
Jiang Yubai agreed deeply: "I think you are right."
The noisy person finally walked away, and Xu Minghui's last hope in human nature was completely shattered.
He should have known long ago that the person hanging out with Xu Yu couldn't be a good person!
Because of Xu Minghui's so-called romantic affair that happened halfway, the attention of all the Xu family members who were originally worried about what the King of Lingnan would be like was diverted.
When the caravan set out again, everything was peaceful and good, except for Xu Minghui who was once again caught and put into the carriage by Aunt Xu and the others.
Sang Zhixia lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked towards the Lingnan capital not far away.
Xu Yu rode his horse closer and said with a low laugh, "Zhizhi, don't worry."
Even if this is a completely unfamiliar place, even if it is a place they have never been to before.
But there is no need to be nervous or anxious about this.
Sang Zhixia wanted to say that she wasn't worried. She rolled her eyes and chuckled softly a few times. She leaned against the car window and said lazily, "Don't just turn your head and talk. Be careful with your hands."
Nuonuo and Yuanbao were tiny, and they should have sat obediently in the car with Sang Zhixia.
But the two little guys couldn't stay in the car and kept crying to go out to find their daddy.
Sang Zhixia had no choice but to throw the two children to Xu Yu.
Xu Yu rode away on horseback amid the disapproving gazes of Xu Wenxiu and the others.
Fortunately, Xu Yu had long arms and big hands. He held the reins in one hand and hooked the two kids with the other hand. He looked very calm and not at all tired.
Xu Yu pushed back Nuonuo, who was tugging at his arm and trying to look out, and shook the reins, making Nuonuo whine. He said with a smile, "You're so brave. You'll know how powerful it is when you fall down."
After saying this, Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou, who were clamoring to go out for horseback riding, looked sideways.
Sang Yanyou was very aware of being the uncle, and glared at him and said, "Brother-in-law, why don't you try throwing one?"
"If you dare to drop Nuonuo and Yuanbao, I..."
Xu Yu sneered: "What's wrong with you?"
Sang Yanyou suddenly recalled the days when Xu Yu tortured him to a point where his life was worse than death. His neck choked and he felt a little weak.
Xu Mingyang acted like a younger uncle, snorted, and said, "Grandfather will whip you."
Xu Yu: “…”
Xu Mingyang was calm and composed: "Brother, I advise you to be extra careful, otherwise..."
"Old Qi and the others are watching us. If Nuonuo and Yuanbao lose even a hair, you'll get beaten."
Xu Yu, who was severely threatened, was unable to refute for a moment. Sang Zhixia suppressed his laughter and lowered the curtain of the car, too lazy to pay attention to the noise outside.
The Xu family has many people and many carriages and horses accompanying them.
Such a big commotion when entering the city would easily attract attention, so according to the arrangement made a few months ago when leaving the northwest, the vehicles and personnel were divided into batches and entered the city at different times.
In order to welcome the Xu family, according to the old prince's idea, a grand mansion should be directly allocated in the royal capital to prevent the old friends from suffering from the bumpy ride.
But this proposal was politely declined by Xu Minghui.
After much difficulty, Xu Minghui finally managed to get off the carriage. He controlled the reins and walked over to Xu Yu, whispering, "The structure of the capital isn't complicated, but the four streets, east, west, south, and north, each have their own occupants."
"The old prince said that the house he awarded is on Dongxiang Road. The people living there are all the powerful and wealthy families in Lingnan. It's too conspicuous."
The King of Lingnan is the only king with a fiefdom today, granted by the late emperor. Above the fiefdom, there is naturally another small imperial court, with many powerful nobles and wealthy families belonging to it.
Xu Yu's eyes flickered slightly when he heard the voice, and he smiled and said, "Good refusal."
The Xu family is now just an ordinary citizen hiding their identities. They should keep a low profile in everything and not be so favored.
Xu Yu thought about what Xu Minghui had said before and raised his eyebrows. "The location you chose for our house is the South Road?"
Xu Minghui hummed, raised his chin towards the busy intersection ahead, and smiled, "We're here now."
