Chapter 807 Did the two of them team up to beat someone to death?

Chen Yun accurately grasped Xu Yu's hint and cleverly ran over to hold his father's arm: "Dad, I told you not to."

"Big Brother Xu never shows mercy when he beats me up. He treats everyone equally. If I hit him on the head, I'd be so embarrassed."

Chen Tai glared at Chen Yun with both anger and amusement: "Still yelling."

"You have to call me uncle."

"I don't."

Chen Yun cleverly dodged Chen Tai's hand that was about to hit his head, and hid behind Xu Yu and shouted, "He's hitting someone!"

“Save me!”

"Someone come and save me!"

The Chen couple were filled with gratitude and determined to thank Xu Yu and his wife for their great kindness even if they had to kneel down and kowtow three times.

Who would have thought that Chen Yun's interruption would completely wash away all the complicated and indescribable emotions.

In the end, Chen Tai failed to catch the jumping Chen Yun, so Uncle Xu took action on his behalf and gave Chen Yun a symbolic kick on the butt to show his appreciation.

Chen Yun was kicked and went to play with Xu Mingxu and Xu Jinxi contentedly.

He tried to reach out and grab Nuonuo and Yuanbao, but Xu Yu waved his hand and told him to get out. He quickly grabbed their clothes and ran away.

Liu Qingfang had long been accustomed to this situation. She went to the courtyard while talking to Sang Zhixia.

This was the first time Chen Tai saw it.

Chen Tai was invited by Xu Yu and Uncle Xu Sanshu into the reception area. After sitting down, he said with emotion, "My son is naughty. Thank you all for your care over the past few years."

"It wasn't much of a bother."

Xu Yu caught the hair crown that Nuonuo had taken off her head and held it in his hand, letting his daughter and son toss their long, ink-like hair behind their heads. He said lightly, "He's smart."

"I haven't made much progress in my martial arts in the past few years, but I've received a lot of punishment. I really don't show mercy in this regard."

Chen Yun started learning martial arts late, and his talent was average. Although he started at the same time as Sang Yanyou, his progress was a little slow.

But Chen Yun was smart, and all the bad ideas came out of him.

In the past, it would be fine if they didn't have time, but once they had time, the guys would get together. Chen Yun and Xu Mingxu would be the military strategists who came up with bad ideas, while Xu Minghui and Sang Yanyou would be pure thugs.

If one person causes trouble, everyone will suffer. When Xu Yu took action to deal with the problem, he never cared whether the child's surname was Xu or not. He implemented the system of collective responsibility.

Even the other person's own father might not have been so cruel, so Xu Yu didn't seem to feel guilty at all when he talked about it.

Chen Tai was amused by Xu Yu's words: "Without training, there will be no talent. This is very good."

"If it weren't for this fate, this child wouldn't be as outstanding as he is today."

Xu Yu smiled but didn't respond. Nuonuo, who was standing behind him, urged, "Daddy, give me the comb."

A rare look of headache appeared on Xu Yu's face. He took out a specially made small comb from the small box that Nuonuo had brought and handed it to her, saying indulgently, "Nuonuo, Daddy and Uncle are talking about something important. Can you dress up later?"

"not good."

Nuonuo was very serious about combing Xu Yu's long hair with her small hands, and she said in a baby voice, "My great-grandfather said that my uncle is not an outsider, so there's no need to be so polite."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Yuanbao was concentrating on helping his sister, and without thinking, he added, "When meeting outsiders, you have to change clothes and pay attention to your manners, but Uncle Chen is not an outsider, so there is no need."

Xu Yu was unable to catch his breath, and Nuonuo said seriously, "That's right."

"Daddy, don't be naughty. We all have to listen to our great-grandfather."

Yuanbao nodded seriously: "Yes, be obedient."

Xu Yu: “…”

Xu Yu still had a little face to save in front of others, but he really couldn't bear to disappoint the child's enthusiasm. After struggling for a moment, Xu Yu said with mixed feelings: "Then what do you want to do?"

"Braid your hair!"

Yuanbao proudly pointed at the crooked braids on his head, looked at Nuonuo with admiration and said, "My sister braided them."

"Daddy and Yuanbao want the same thing!"

Xu Yu looked at his son's pigtails and took a deep breath.

Uncle Xu, who had suffered so much, had an expression of displeasure on his face. He clicked his tongue a few times, trying to suppress his laughter and turning his head away.

Chen Tai pretended to drink tea to hide the mockery in his eyes.

After Xu Yu adjusted his posture to make it easier for the little guys behind him to start, Chen Tai said softly, "General, you are supposed to return today. I should have waited for you to rest for a few days before bothering you again."

"I just thought about some of the rumors I heard in the royal city recently and felt a little uneasy. I hurried here and wanted to ask the general for some advice."

Xu Yu put his arms on the edge of the chair to protect the two little guys. He curled his eyes in a half-smile at the sound and asked, "What's the rumor in the royal city?"

"What is it?"

The voices in the flower hall gradually became lower. In the small courtyard, Liu Qingfang held Sang Zhixia's hand and said several words in a row, suppressing her emotion, "It's not easy."

Everyone knows that the floods in the south of the Yangtze River are coming with great force, and everyone knows that they are facing a life-and-death situation there.

But others felt it was extremely dangerous just by hearsay, and it was even more rare to get out of the predicament unscathed.

After saying this with emotion, Liu Qingfang leaned closer and whispered, "Yanran went with you this time. Did she come back safely?"

Sang Zhixia didn't quite understand what she meant by suddenly asking about Xu Yanran. She was stunned for a moment and nodded, "We go together and return together, what's wrong?"

Liu Qingfang seemed a little embarrassed. After pondering for a long time, she said softly, "People outside are just talking nonsense. Don't take a single word of it seriously. But you know this, and I understand that it might not be the same when someone else says it."

Meeting Sang Zhixia's increasingly confused gaze, Liu Qingfang said in a voice only Sang Zhixia could hear, "There's been a rumor circulating among the noble ladies in the royal city lately about Yanran's marriage."

Xu Yanran is at the perfect age, like a flower bud.

Coming from the Xu family, he is the only descendant of the third branch and is no less noble than anyone else.

Since last year, some people have come to test the Xu family's intentions, and some people have wanted to use the Nan family's connections to marry into the Xu family, but unfortunately they were all turned away.

Uncle Xu and his wife loved their daughter dearly, and Xu Yanran herself had no intention of getting married early and wanted to study medicine for a few more years to cure illnesses and save lives, so they all said there was no rush.

Unexpectedly, the meaning of the words gradually changed as they were passed on.

Liu Qingfang didn't treat Sang Zhixia as an outsider. With lingering worry, she said, "During the time you were away, some people came to our house to inquire about our situation, but they were all turned away."

"But then, for some reason, rumors started to spread that the Xu family was deliberately trying to find a princess. Even the fact that you took Yanran to Chuzhou was said to be a pretext for visiting the General of the Cavalry, so that she could show off to the young prince."

This lie has been circulating for a long time, but the Xu family is indeed not aware of it yet.

Liu Qingfang said helplessly, "Your mother-in-law and mother are busy taking care of the children at home and are too impatient to deal with people from outside. They rarely see guests."

"Your second and third aunts are busy with their business outside and don't have time to listen to these women's gossip, but I have heard such talk outside at least three times."

Liu Qingfang seldom goes out and doesn't interact much with people outside the Xu family.

The news has reached her ears, so you can tell what the situation is like outside.

Liu Qingfang knew the Xu family's character, and also knew that Sang Zhixia would never use Xu Yanran's reputation to curry favor with the young prince's wealth.

Today, when I heard that Sang Zhixia was back, I rushed over without even having time to catch my breath.

Liu Qingfang smiled bitterly and said, "I've also thought about mentioning this to Third Aunt or Second Aunt. There has to be someone in the family who knows."

"But these two have been so busy these past few days that I haven't seen them. I've called them several times but they haven't shown up. It just so happens that you're back, so I had no choice but to come look for you."

Sang Zhixia's face darkened. "Where did this come from? Who did you hear it from first?"

Liu Qingfang mentioned a name, but before she could explain further, Diancui came over quickly and said, "Boss, something happened."

Sang Zhixia was surprised and asked, "What?"

"Someone just came and told me that Miss Nan and Miss Tian were originally out strolling together, and they ran into Miss Guo in our cosmetics shop. I don't know how they got into a fight over a disagreement."

Sang Zhixia: "..."

Sang Zhixia thought about Nan Weiwei and Tian Ying'er's terrifying fighting power and hesitated, "So, did they team up to beat the guy to death?"

"Ask me to collect the bodies???"
