Chapter 80
Without waiting for Xue Shun to answer, he bowed to the ground again: "I'm also apologizing to you on behalf of Sixth Brother."
"I don't know why he would do such a thing, but he must have his reasons. He would never want to harm you for no reason."
"If you want to feel resentful, just blame me, don't blame him."
Xue Shiyi's words were powerful and resounding.
Xue Shun was incredulous: "You mean, he has his reasons, so I deserve it?"
"If you think so, there's nothing wrong with that."
Xue Shiyi tilted his head and didn't look at him.
Fortunately, it was his head that was crooked, not a chamber pot, so he didn't question it directly: "Do you want to think about what you did to offend Sixth Brother?"
Xue Shiyi would never believe that his sixth brother would intentionally harm his brothers. Not only his sixth brother, but every brother who had been with him for many years was good in his eyes.
The only person he didn't know was Little Seventeen, and he could tell at a glance whether they were close or distant relatives.
Needless to say, who would he suspect?
Zheng Xiaoniang was next to him, almost twisting the flesh off his arm, but the boy refused to say a word or change his words. He touched it in confusion... It felt wrong, there must be something tied to it, like... a leather bag used for practicing martial arts, the kind that feels like it's stuck in the mud when you punch it, and it feels soft like flesh, and you can't hurt it at all by brute force.
Zheng Xiaoniang was so angry that she almost laughed out loud: "...How ridiculous! He has a little bit of heart and he puts all his tricks on his own mother? Is this his son? He's like an ancestor!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zheng Xiaoniang gritted her teeth and said, "How can you apologize like this? Isn't it clear who is right and who is wrong? How come you come up with some excuse? If it really happened, wouldn't your sixth brother not say it? He's not dumb."
Xue Shiyi said confidently, "Sixth Brother always cares about brotherhood and often covers up our mistakes in front of our parents. Perhaps this time is the same. He can't bear to see Seventeen being punished. After all, he's almost dead. If he hits him again, he'll just have to be buried."
"He just couldn't bear to see you punished, couldn't he? He just couldn't bear to see you buried, couldn't he?" Zheng Xiaoniang's voice rose. "Use your pig brain to think about this, does this make sense?"
"Miss, could you please stop scolding me in front of others? I have some dignity to maintain." Xue Shiyi's voice got louder, so loud that everyone could hear how clueless he was. Miss Zheng felt dizzy and dizzy: "Oh my God, what sin have I committed to give birth to such a stupid idiot like you!
You treat the jackal as your brother. You think you are a wolf. In his eyes, you are just a stupid pig, or a stupid domestic pig without any wildness who just goes wherever he is told.
It really, really makes me mad!"
She wailed in a trembling voice and no longer had the energy to hit anyone. She clenched her fists and hit twice, then rolled her eyes and went limp.
Xue Shiyi was about to defend Sixth Brother, but the words were on the tip of his tongue and he couldn't swallow them. He hugged his unconscious mother and said anxiously, "Mother, could you please stop criticizing Sixth Brother all the time?"
When Zheng Xiaoniang heard this, she felt even more dizzy.
This son was raised in vain. I worked so hard to give birth to him and raise him to this age, but he turned out to be the sixth child's.
She was also furious. She held on for a breath, opened her eyes, tugged at his collar and yelled, "Don't call me little mother, your mother is Lao Liu!"
Then he completely lost his strength and his head became tilted.
Xue Shiyi shook her blankly: "Little girl? Which Lao Liu are you talking about?"
Xue Shun kindly reminded: "She is talking about your good Sixth Brother."
"Ah?" Xue Shiyi was even more confused. "How could Sixth Brother be my mother? He's a man and can't have children. Is he crazy? Hurry up and call a doctor."
He shouted behind him, picked up Zheng Xiaoniang and rushed out.
Shen Jiao stopped him, "There's a ready-made doctor in Liao'e Courtyard. Eleventh Young Master, don't worry. Let Zheng Xiaoniang lie down first. If you go out like this, not only will it delay her, but rumors will inevitably spread outside. I wonder if they will think that my young master has fainted from anger. Eleventh Young Master, if you have any regard for brotherhood, you shouldn't do such a thing."
Xue Shiyi was still trying to react when Xue Shun reached out and pulled her back, blaming her: "If he wants to leave, then go ahead. Why are you trying to stop him? He's killing himself. His beating hurts. What's the point of my reputation?"
Even though Shen Jiao was pulled back, he still finished what he was saying.
Xue Shiyi wasn't really looking for trouble, so after thinking it over, he decided not to carry Zheng Xiaoniang out. Instead, he placed her on Xue Shun's bed and explained, "I wouldn't hit anyone randomly."
Xue Shun said sarcastically: "Yes, you can't, I deserve it."
Xue Shiyi was adamant: "There must be some misunderstanding, but I did hit you. If you have any grievances, just hit me back. Life and death are determined by fate, and I will never fight back. But we have to wait until the doctor examines my wife before we can say anything."
What a deep love between mother and son!
Xue Shun disliked him even more.
He went to the outer room and found a stool to sit on, and asked Shen Jiao to sit down as well.
He no longer cared about what was happening inside. He was either looking at the cloak or in a daze, obviously wanting to continue what he was about to do.
Shen Jiao sat down opposite him, peeled a few pine nuts and pushed them in front of him. Only then did he come to his senses and silently picked them up and ate them.
After eating a few, he said, "Don't peel it. Be careful not to hurt your hands. I will do it myself."
He pulled the plate of pine nuts over to him without paying any attention to the people around him. He carefully peeled a few of them, placed them on the plate, and pushed it in front of Shen Jiao: "You eat too."
He said this without even looking up, still continuing to work on it.
It wasn't like he really wanted to peel pine nuts for Shen Jiao, or that he suddenly liked peeling pine nuts. It was more like he didn't know what he could do, but he had to find something to do to feel better.
Fortunately, Shen Jiao accepted everyone who came and did not let his kindness go to waste.
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly.
Zheng Xiaoniang in the inner room was simply anxious and overworked recently, which was why she fainted. She woke up after two injections and said a few polite words to her stupid son.
Xue Shun ignored him.
She sighed and pulled Xue Shiyi, who wanted to say something, away.
Shen Jiao signaled Qiongzhi with his eyes to go and send it off.
She was quite reluctant. After sending them away, she wanted to stay in the house and keep a close eye on them, but was glared away by Shen Jiao.
The only people in the room were Xue Shun, who was busy peeling the fruit, and Shen Jiao, who was chewing the fruit slowly.
She waited for a long time before saying, "Young Master, you should be polite to them. Zheng Xiaoniang is different from the Eleventh Young Master. She is a smart person. There is no harm in making friends with her."
"I don't want to." Xue Shun's voice was a little muffled.
"Then just ignore her," Shen Jiao said readily, "After today, she won't come again."
"I know."
Zheng Xiaoniang came here just for Xue Shiyi. She took a long time to prepare this "meal" before feeding it to him. However, Xue Shiyi not only refused to eat it, but also smashed the bowl and urinated on it, which was disgusting. What else could she do?
Zheng Xiaoniang is a smart person. She knows that there is no room for turning things around and she has done everything she can. How could it happen again?
Don't be fooled by what she says. She won't be happy if her son suffers.
Just like Shen Jiao's brain becomes dull sometimes when it's not used often, Xue Shun's brain becomes sharp sometimes when it's used often, and he sees things clearly.
A tear fell on the table, creating an almost invisible splash.
Shen Jiao silently held his hand and stopped him from peeling any further.
Xue Shun didn't dare to shake her hand back. He just sniffed in a cowardly manner and said to her, "Shen Jiao, I feel so bad. They all have people who love them, but I..."
His throat was so sore that he was about to cry. Finally, he bent his fingers and loosely held the warm hand.
He buried his head even lower, and more and more water splashed on the table.
Shen Jiao grabbed him even harder and said as if promising, "I will always be by your side."
